2008-05-08tipc: Increase buffer header to support worst-case deviceAllan Stephens
This patch increases the headroom TIPC reserves in each sk_buff to accommodate the largest possible link level device header. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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. Acknowledgements to Florian Westphal (fw@strlen.de> for suggesting this enhancement. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-03-06[TIPC]: Eliminate "sparse" symbol warningsAllan Stephens
This patch eliminates warnings about undeclared symbols. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-28[NET]: Convert init_timer into setup_timerPavel Emelyanov
Many-many code in the kernel initialized the timer->function and timer->data together with calling init_timer(timer). There is already a helper for this. Use it for networking code. The patch is HUGE, but makes the code 130 lines shorter (98 insertions(+), 228 deletions(-)).

2006-10-18[TIPC]: Add support for Ethernet VLANsAllan Stephens
This patch enhances TIPC's Ethernet support to include VLAN interfaces. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Per Liden <per.liden@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-10-18[TIPC]: Remove code bloat introduced by print buffer reworkAllan Stephens
This patch allows the compiler to optimize out any code that tries to send debugging output to the null print buffer (TIPC_NULL), a capability that was unintentionally broken during the recent print buffer rework.

2006-10-18[TIPC]: Debug print buffer enhancements and fixesAllan Stephens
This change modifies TIPC's print buffer code as follows: 1) Now supports small print buffers (min. size reduced from 512 bytes to 64) 2) Now uses TIPC_NULL print buffer structure to indicate null device instead of NULL pointer (this simplified error handling) 3) Fixed misuse of console buffer structure by tipc_dump() 4) Added and corrected comments in various places Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Per Liden <per.liden@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-07-03[TIPC] Fixed sk_buff panic caused by tipc_link_bundle_buf (REVISED)Allan Stephens
The recent change to direct inspection of bundle buffer tailroom did not account for the possiblity of unrequested tailroom added by skb_alloc(), thereby allowing a bundle to be created that exceeds the current link MTU. An additional check now ensures that bundling works correctly no matter if the bundle buffer is smaller, larger, or equal to the link MTU.
