ipv6: Use correct data types for ICMPv6 type and code

2009-06-23T11:31:07Z

Change all the code that deals directly with ICMPv6 type and code values to use u8 instead of a signed int as that's the actual data type. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Add GRO support

2009-01-08T18:40:57Z

This patch adds GRO support for IPv6. IPv6 GRO supports extension headers in the same way as GSO (by using the same infrastructure). It's also simpler compared to IPv4 since we no longer have to worry about fragmentation attributes or header checksums. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: Add GRO infrastructure

2008-12-16T07:41:09Z

This patch adds GRO support for IPv4. The criteria for merging is more stringent than LRO, in particular, we require all fields in the IP header to be identical except for the length, ID and checksum. In addition, the ID must form an arithmetic sequence with a difference of one. The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware TSO solutions already obey this rule. Linux itself also obeys this whether GSO is in use or not. In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather making sure that we don't drop them when pulling the aggregate skb's tail).

[NETNS]: Drop packets in the non-initial namespace on the per/protocol basis.

2008-03-24T22:33:00Z

IP layer now can handle multiple namespaces normally. So, process such packets normally and drop them only if the transport layer is not aware about namespaces. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV6]: make inet6_register_protosw to return an error code

2008-01-28T22:57:12Z

This patch makes the inet6_register_protosw to return an error code. The different protocols can be aware the registration was successful or not and can pass the error to the initial caller, af_inet6. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV6]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff * in input handlers

2007-10-15T19:50:28Z

With all the users of the double pointers removed from the IPv6 input path, this patch converts all occurances of sk_buff ** to sk_buff * in IPv6 input handlers. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[INET]: Change protocol field in struct inet_protosw to u16

[NET] gso: Fix up GSO packets with broken checksums

2006-07-08T20:34:56Z

Certain subsystems in the stack (e.g., netfilter) can break the partial checksum on GSO packets. Until they're fixed, this patch allows this to work by recomputing the partial checksums through the GSO mechanism. Once they've all been converted to update the partial checksum instead of clearing it, this workaround can be removed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
