2006-03-20[NET]: minor net_rx_action optimizationStephen Hemminger
The functions list_del followed by list_add_tail is equivalent to the existing inline list_move_tail. list_move_tail avoids unnecessary _LIST_POISON. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[NET]: Move destructor from neigh->ops to neigh_paramsMichael S. Tsirkin
struct neigh_ops currently has a destructor field, which no in-kernel drivers outside of infiniband use. The infiniband/ulp/ipoib in-tree driver stashes some info in the neighbour structure (the results of the second-stage lookup from ARP results to real link-level path), and it uses neigh->ops->destructor to get a callback so it can clean up this extra info when a neighbour is freed. We've run into problems with this: since the destructor is in an ops field that is shared between neighbours that may belong to different net devices, there's no way to set/clear it safely. The following patch moves this field to neigh_parms where it can be safely set, together with its twin neigh_setup. Two additional patches in the patch series update ipoib to use this new interface.

2006-03-20[PKTGEN]: Removes thread_{un,}lock() macros.Luiz Capitulino
As suggested by Arnaldo, this patch replaces the thread_lock()/thread_unlock() by directly calls to mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock(). This change makes the code a bit more readable, and the direct calls are used everywhere in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@mandriva.com.br> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-03-20[PKTGEN]: Ports if_list to the in-kernel implementation.Luiz Capitulino
This patch ports the per-thread interface list list to the in-kernel linked list implementation. In the general, the resulting code is a bit simpler. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@mandriva.com.br> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[PKTGEN]: Fix Initialization fail leak.Luiz Capitulino
Even if pktgen's thread initialization fails for all CPUs, the module will be successfully loaded.

2006-03-20[PKTGEN]: Ports thread list to Kernel list implementation.Luiz Capitulino
The final result is a simpler and smaller code. Note that I'm adding a new member in the struct pktgen_thread called 'removed'.

2006-03-20[NET] pktgen: Fix races between control/worker threads.Arthur Kepner
There's a race in pktgen which can lead to a double free of a pktgen_dev's skb. If a worker thread is in the midst of doing fill_packet(), and the controlling thread gets a "stop" message, the already freed skb can be freed once again in pktgen_stop_device(). This patch gives all responsibility for cleaning up a pktgen_dev's skb to the associated worker thread.

2006-03-20[NET] core: add RFC2863 operstateStefan Rompf
this patch adds a dormant flag to network devices, RFC2863 operstate derived from these flags and possibility for userspace interaction. It allows drivers to signal that a device is unusable for user traffic without disabling queueing (and therefore the possibility for protocol establishment traffic to flow) and a userspace supplicant (WPA, 802.1X) to mark a device unusable without changes to the driver. It is the result of our long discussion. However I must admit that it represents what Jamal and I agreed on with compromises towards Krzysztof, but Thomas and Krzysztof still disagree with some parts. Anyway I think it should be applied.

2006-03-03[PATCH] bonding: suppress duplicate packetsJay Vosburgh
Originally submitted by Kenzo Iwami; his original description is: The current bonding driver receives duplicate packets when broadcast/ multicast packets are sent by other devices or packets are flooded by the switch. In this patch, new flags are added in priv_flags of net_device structure to let the bonding driver discard duplicate packets in dev.c:skb_bond(). Modified by Jay Vosburgh to change a define name, update some comments, rearrange the new skb_bond() for clarity, clear all bonding priv_flags on slave release, and update the driver version.

2006-02-05[PATCH] percpu data: only iterate over possible CPUsEric Dumazet
percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus. As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS loops to use for_each_cpu(). (The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h. powerpc has gone it alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's currently corrupting memory).

2006-01-04[PATCH] net: swich device attribute creation to default attrsKay Sievers
Recent udev versions don't longer cover bad sysfs timing with built-in logic. Explicit rules are required to do that. For net devices, the following is needed: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="address" to handle access to net device properties from an event handler without races. This patch changes the main net attributes to be created by the driver core, which is done _before_ the event is sent out and will not require the stat() loop of the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS key.
