net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30Z

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence of module.h from everywhere. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

net: Fix files explicitly needing to include module.h

2011-10-31T23:30:28Z

With calls to modular infrastructure, these files really needs the full module.h header. Call it out so some of the cleanups of implicit and unrequired includes elsewhere can be cleaned up. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER

2011-08-02T11:29:23Z

When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon change to not handle the special case. Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value. //smpl @@ expression P; @@ - rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL) + RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL) // Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: Paul E.

snap: remove one synchronize_net()

2011-05-23T20:29:24Z

No need to wait for a rcu grace period after list insertion. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

garp: use kfree_rcu()

2011-05-21T06:05:22Z

Use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu(), remove garp_cleanup_module() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

garp: remove last synchronize_rcu() call

2011-05-12T21:46:56Z

When removing last vlan from a device, garp_uninit_applicant() calls synchronize_rcu() to make sure no user can still manipulate struct garp_applicant before we free it. Use call_rcu() instead, as a step to further net_device dismantle optimizations. Add the temporary garp_cleanup_module() function to make sure no pending call_rcu() are left at module unload time [ this will be removed when kfree_rcu() is available ] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

garp: remove one synchronize_rcu() call

2011-05-09T18:41:40Z

Speedup vlan dismantling in CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_GVRP=y cases, by using a call_rcu() to free the memory instead of waiting with expensive synchronize_rcu() [ while RTNL is held ] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Ben Greear Cc: Patrick McHardy Cc: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/802: add __rcu annotations

2010-10-25T20:09:44Z

(struct net_device)->garp_port is rcu protected : (struct garp_port)->applicants is rcu protected : add __rcu annotation and proper rcu primitives. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: return operator cleanup

2010-09-23T21:33:39Z

Change "return (EXPR);" to "return EXPR;" return is not a function, parentheses are not required. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
