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.

2006-01-17[PKTGEN]: Replacing with (compare|is_zero)_ether_addr() and ETH_ALENKris Katterjohn
This replaces some tests with is_zero_ether_addr(), memcmp(one, two, 6) with compare_ether_addr(one, two), and 6 with ETH_ALEN where appropriate. Signed-off-by: Kris Katterjohn <kjak@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-01-03[PKTGEN]: Deinitialise static variables.Jaco Kroon
static variables should not be explicitly initialised to 0. This causes them to be placed in .data instead of .bss. This patch de-initialises 3 static variables in net/core/pktgen.c. There are approximately 800 more such variables in the source tree (2.6.15rc5). If there is more interrest I'd be willing to track down the rest of these as well and de-initialise them as well.

2005-10-26[PKTGEN]: proc interface revisionStephen Hemminger
The code to handle the /proc interface can be cleaned up in several places: * use seq_file for read * don't need to remember all the filenames separately * use for_online_cpu's * don't vmalloc a buffer for small command from user. Committer note: This patch clashed with John Hawkes's "[NET]: Wider use of for_each_*cpu()", so I fixed it up manually.

2005-10-26[PKTGEN]: Sleeping function called under lockStephen Hemminger
pktgen is calling kmalloc GFP_KERNEL and vmalloc with lock held. The simplest fix is to turn the lock into a semaphore, since the thread lock is only used for admin control from user context.

2005-10-25[NET]: Wider use of for_each_*cpu()John Hawkes
In 'net' change the explicit use of for-loops and NR_CPUS into the general for_each_cpu() or for_each_online_cpu() constructs, as appropriate. This widens the scope of potential future optimizations of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is advantageous when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

2005-10-03[IPV4]: Get rid of bogus __in_put_dev in pktgenHerbert Xu
This patch gets rid of a bogus __in_dev_put() in pktgen.c. This was spotted by Suzanne Wood. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-10-03[IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnlHerbert Xu
The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case. 1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get(). 2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu(). 3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl(). There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it. This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and Paul McKenney. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-07-27[PATCH] clean up inline static vs static inlineJesper Juhl
`gcc -W' likes to complain if the static keyword is not at the beginning of the declaration. This patch fixes all remaining occurrences of "inline static" up with "static inline" in the entire kernel tree (140 occurrences in 47 files). While making this change I came across a few lines with trailing whitespace that I also fixed up, I have also added or removed a blank line or two here and there, but there are no functional changes in the patch.

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!
