Revision 0.21: Uses the new generic socket option code. Revision 0.22: Gcc clean ups and drop out device registration. Use the new multi-protocol edition of hard_header Revision 0.23: IPX /proc by Mark Evans. Adding a route will will overwrite any existing route to the same network. Revision 0.24: Supports new /proc with no 4K limit Revision 0.25: Add ephemeral sockets, passive local network identification, support for local net 0 and multiple datalinks Revision 0.26: Device drop kills IPX routes via it. (needed for module) Revision 0.27: Autobind Revision 0.28: Small fix for multiple local networks Revision 0.29: Assorted major errors removed Small correction to promisc mode error fix Asynchronous I/O support. Changed to use notifiers and the newer packet_type stuff. Assorted major fixes Revision 0.30: Moved to net/ipx/... Don't set address length on recvfrom that errors. Incorrect verify_area. Revision 0.31: New sk_buffs. This still needs a lot of testing. Revision 0.32: Using sock_alloc_send_skb, firewall hooks. Supports sendmsg/recvmsg Revision 0.33: Internal network support, routing changes, uses a protocol private area for ipx data. Revision 0.34: Module support. Revision 0.35: Checksum support. , hooked in by Handles WIN95 discovery packets Revision 0.36: Internal bump up for 2.1 Revision 0.37: Began adding POSIXisms. Revision 0.38: Asynchronous socket stuff made current. Revision 0.39: SPX interfaces Revision 0.40: Tiny SIOCGSTAMP fix (chris@cybernet.co.nz) Revision 0.41: 802.2TR removed (p.norton@computer.org) Fixed connecting to primary net, Automatic binding on send & receive, Martijn van Oosterhout Revision 042: Multithreading - use spinlocks and refcounting to protect some structures: ipx_interface sock list, list of ipx interfaces, etc. Bugfixes - do refcounting on net_devices, check function results, etc. Thanks to davem and freitag for suggestions and guidance. Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo , November, 2000 Revision 043: Shared SKBs, don't mangle packets, some cleanups Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo , December, 2000 Revision 044: Call ipxitf_hold on NETDEV_UP - acme Revision 045: fix PPROP routing bug - acme Revision 046: Further fixes to PPROP, ipxitf_create_internal was doing an unneeded MOD_INC_USE_COUNT, implement sysctl for ipx_pprop_broacasting, fix the ipx sysctl handling, making it dynamic, some cleanups, thanks to Petr Vandrovec for review and good suggestions. (acme) Revision 047: Cleanups, CodingStyle changes, move the ncp connection hack out of line - acme Revision 048: Use sk->protinfo to store the pointer to IPX private area, remove af_ipx from sk->protinfo and move ipx_opt to include/net/ipx.h, use IPX_SK like DecNET, etc - acme Revision 049: SPX support dropped, see comment in ipx_create - acme Revision 050: Use seq_file for proc stuff, moving it to ipx_proc.c - acme Other fixes: Protect the module by a MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT pair. Also, now usage count is managed this way: -Count one if the auto_interface mode is on -Count one per configured interface Jacques Gelinas (jacques@solucorp.qc.ca)
