2005-06-18[NETLINK]: Introduce NLMSG_NEW macro to better handle netlink flagsThomas Graf
Introduces a new macro NLMSG_NEW which extends NLMSG_PUT but takes a flags argument. NLMSG_PUT stays there for compatibility but now calls NLMSG_NEW with flags == 0. NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER is renamed to NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER which now also takes a flags argument. Also converts the users of NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER to use NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER and fixes the two direct users of __nlmsg_put to either provide the flags or use NLMSG_NEW(_ANSWER).

2005-05-19[NETLINK]: Defer socket destruction a bitTommy S. Christensen
In netlink_broadcast() we're sending shared skb's to netlink listeners when possible (saves some copying). This is OK, since we hold the only other reference to the skb. However, this implies that we must drop our reference on the skb, before allowing a receiving socket to disappear. Otherwise, the socket buffer accounting is disrupted. Signed-off-by: Tommy S.

2005-05-19[NETLINK]: Fix race with recvmsg().Tommy S. Christensen
This bug causes: assertion (!atomic_read(&sk->sk_rmem_alloc)) failed at net/netlink/af_netlink.c (122) What's happening is that: 1) The skb is sent to socket 1. 2) Someone does a recvmsg on socket 1 and drops the ref on the skb. Note that the rmalloc is not returned at this point since the skb is still referenced. 3) The same skb is now sent to socket 2. This version of the fix resurrects the skb_orphan call that was moved out, last time we had 'shared-skb troubles'. It is practically a no-op in the common case, but still prevents the possible race with recvmsg. Signed-off-by: Tommy S.

2005-05-03[NETLINK]: cb_lock does not needs ref count on skHerbert Xu
Here is a little optimisation for the cb_lock used by netlink_dump. While fixing that race earlier, I noticed that the reference count held by cb_lock is completely useless. The reason is that in order to obtain the protection of the reference count, you have to take the cb_lock. But the only way to take the cb_lock is through dereferencing the socket. That is, you must already possess a reference count on the socket before you can take advantage of the reference count held by cb_lock. As a corollary, we can remve the reference count held by the cb_lock. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Most audit control messages are sent over netlink.In order to properly log the identity of the sender of audit control messages, we would like to add the loginuid to the netlink_creds structure, as per the attached patch.

2005-04-25[PATCH] kill gratitious includes of major.h under net/*Al Viro
A lot of places in there are including major.h for no reason whatsoever. Removed. And yes, it still builds. The history of that stuff is often amusing. E.g. for net/core/sock.c the story looks so, as far as I've been able to reconstruct it: we used to need major.h in net/socket.c circa 1.1.early. In 1.1.13 that need had disappeared, along with register_chrdev(SOCKET_MAJOR, "socket", &net_fops) in sock_init(). Include had not. When 1.2 -> 1.3 reorg of net/* had moved a lot of stuff from net/socket.c to net/core/sock.c, this crap had followed...

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!
