2005-12-27[NET]: Validate socket filters against BPF_MAXINSNS in one spot.David S. Miller
Currently the checks are scattered all over and this leads to inconsistencies and even cases where the check is not made. Based upon a patch from Kris Katterjohn. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-11-08[PPP]: add PPP MPPE encryption moduleMatt Domsch
From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com> The patch below implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption method as a PPP compressor/decompressor. This is necessary for Linux clients and servers to interoperate with Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) servers (either Microsoft PPTP servers or the poptop project) which use MPPE to encrypt data when creating a VPN. This patch differs from the kernel_ppp_mppe DKMS pacakge at pptpclient.sourceforge.net by utilizing the kernel crypto routines rather than providing its own SHA1 and arcfour implementations. Minor changes to ppp_generic.c try to prevent a link from disabling compression (in our case, the encryption) after it has started using compression (encryption). Feedback to <pptpclient-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> please. Signed-off-by: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com> Cc: James Cameron <james.cameron@hp.com> Cc: "David S.

2005-10-28[PATCH] Driver Core: fix up all callers of class_device_create()Greg Kroah-Hartman
The previous patch adding the ability to nest struct class_device changed the paramaters to the call class_device_create(). This patch fixes up all in-kernel users of the function. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2005-08-29[NET]: Remove explicit initializations of skb->input_devDavid S. Miller
Instead, set it in one place, namely the beginning of netif_receive_skb(). Based upon suggestions from Jamal Hadi Salim. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-07-08[NET]: Transform skb_queue_len() binary tests into skb_queue_empty()David S. Miller
This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the 'list' member of sk_buff. Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty() which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

2005-05-12 [PATCH] PPP multilink fragmentation improvementsPaul Mackerras
Here's a patch for -mm for now. Not sure whose territory this falls in, so I'm sending it to everyone I can think of. :) Some time ago I did some experiments with using PPP multilink over largish numbers of channels (up to 32). The TCP performance was woeful due to wildly fluctuating packet latencies, which turned out to be because we would sometimes split a packet across all 32 channels, and sometimes we would send a whole packet down a single channel. This patch fixes those problems by being a bit cleverer about how the packets are split across the available channels, and in particular, it waits until at least half of the channels can take another fragment before starting to split up the next packet. The patch also fixes a buglet in the multilink reconstruction code where it would discard incoming packets that had just the multilink header and no data. Such packets are valid and shouldn't be discarded. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-05-03[PPP]: remove redundant NULL pointer checks before kfree & vfreeJesper Juhl
kfree() and vfree() can both deal with NULL pointers. This patch removes redundant NULL pointer checks from the ppp code in drivers/net/ Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <juhl-lkml@dif.dk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
