2008-04-15[TCP]: Remove superflushious skb == write_queue_tail() checkIlpo Järvinen
Needed can only be more strict than what was checked by the earlier common case check for non-tail skbs, thus cwnd_len <= needed will never match in that case anyway. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-04-15[ETHTOOL]: Add support for large eepromsMandeep Singh Baines
Currently, it is not possible to read/write to an eeprom larger than 128k in size because the buffer used for temporarily storing the eeprom contents is allocated using kmalloc. kmalloc can only allocate a maximum of 128k depending on architecture. Modified ethtool_get/set_eeprom to only allocate a page of memory and then copy the eeprom a page at a time. Updated original patch as per suggestions from Joe Perches.

2008-04-15CAN: use hrtimers in can-bcm protocolOliver Hartkopp
Make use of hrtimers to support high resolution capabilities, when provided by the system clocksource. The conversion to hrtimers additionally discovered and solved an unlikely race condition that has been reproduced under (unrealistic) massive receive load, which can only be produced on vcan software devices.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Enhance validation of format on incoming messagesAllan Stephens
This patch ensures that TIPC properly handles incoming messages that have incorrect or unexpected formats. Most significantly, it now ensures that each sl_buff has at least as much data as the message header indicates it should, and that the entire message header is stored contiguously; this prevents TIPC from accidentally accessing memory that is not part of the sk_buff.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Force linearization of non-linear sk_buffsAllan Stephens
This patch allows TIPC to process incoming messages that are stored in a fragmented sk_buff, by forcing the linearization of any such messages it receives. Note: This is an interim solution to allow TIPC to operate with Ethernet devices that generate non-linear buffers (such as the gianfar driver), until such time as the rest of TIPC is enhanced to handle sk_buffs with multiple data areas.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Use fast buffer cloning to improve performanceAllan Stephens
This patch causes TIPC to allocate fast clonable sk_buffs, rather than standard ones. This speeds up the cloning operation done by the link code each time a message is sent off-node. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-04-15[TIPC]: Remove redundant NULL check when discarding buffersAllan Stephens
This patch eliminates a null pointer check when discarding a TIPC message buffer, since kfree_skb() already handles this situation.

2008-04-15[NETNS]: The generic per-net pointers.Pavel Emelyanov
Add the elastic array of void * pointer to the struct net. The access rules are simple: 1. register the ops with register_pernet_gen_device to get the id of your private pointer 2. call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the struct net (most preferably this should be done in the ->init callback of the ops registered) 3. do not store any private reference on the net_generic array; 4. do not change this pointer while the net is alive; 5. use the net_generic() to get the pointer. When adding a new pointer, I copy the old array, replace it with a new one and schedule the old for kfree after an RCU grace period. Since the net_generic explores the net->gen array inside rcu read section and once set the net->gen->ptr[x] pointer never changes, this grants us a safe access to generic pointers. Quoting Paul: "... RCU is protecting -only- the net_generic structure that net_generic() is traversing, and the [pointer] returned by net_generic() is protected by a reference counter in the upper-level struct net."

2008-04-15[NETNS]: The net-subsys IDs generator.Pavel Emelyanov
To make some per-net generic pointers, we need some way to address them, i.e. - IDs. This is simple IDA-based IDs generator for pernet subsystems. Addressing questions about potential checkpoint/restart problems: these IDs are "lite-offsets" within the net structure and are by no means supposed to be exported to the userspace. Since it will be used in the nearest future by devices only (tun, vlan, tunnels, bridge, etc), I make it resemble the functionality of register_pernet_device(). The new ids is stored in the *id pointer _before_ calling the init callback to make this id available in this callback. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Overhaul of socket locking logicAllan Stephens
This patch modifies TIPC's socket code to follow the same approach used by other protocols. This change eliminates the need for a mutex in the TIPC-specific portion of the socket protocol data structure -- in its place, the standard Linux socket backlog queue and associated locking routines are utilized. These changes fix a long-standing receive queue bug on SMP systems, and also enable individual read and write threads to utilize a socket without unnecessarily interfering with each other.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Correct "off by 1" error in socket queue limit enforcementAllan Stephens

2008-04-14[NETFILTER]: nf_nat: kill helper and seq_adjust hooksPatrick McHardy
Connection tracking helpers (specifically FTP) need to be called before NAT sequence numbers adjustments are performed to be able to compare them against previously seen ones. We've introduced two new hooks around 2.6.11 to maintain this ordering when NAT modules were changed to get called from conntrack helpers directly. The cost of netfilter hooks is quite high and sequence number adjustments are only rarely needed however. Add a RCU-protected sequence number adjustment function pointer and call it from IPv4 conntrack after calling the helper. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2008-04-14[NETFILTER]: nf_nat: don't add NAT extension for confirmed conntracksPatrick McHardy
Adding extensions to confirmed conntracks is not allowed to avoid races on reallocation. Don't setup NAT for confirmed conntracks in case NAT module is loaded late. The has one side-effect, the connections existing before the NAT module was loaded won't enter the bysource hash. The only case where this actually makes a difference is in case of SNAT to a multirange where the IP before NAT is also part of the range. Since old connections don't enter the bysource hash the first new connection from the IP will have a new address selected. This shouldn't matter at all.
