net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.

2011-08-16T01:31:35Z

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons. MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.) Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number. For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

net: support time stamping in phy devices.

2010-07-19T02:15:26Z

This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are deferred for later delivery by the driver. The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may optionally implement these functions.

net: convert multicast list to list_head

2010-04-03T21:22:15Z

Converts the list and the core manipulating with it to be the same as uc_list. +uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global" variant) instead of a function parameter. +removes dev_mcast.c completely. +exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for manipulation with lists on a sandbox (used in bonding and 80211 drivers) Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.

net: move address list functions to a separate file

2010-04-03T21:22:11Z

+little renaming of unicast functions to be smooth with multicast ones Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

skbuff: remove skb_dma_map/unmap

2009-12-03T03:57:15Z

The two functions skb_dma_map/unmap are unsafe to use as they cause problems when packets are cloned and sent to multiple devices while a HW IOMMU is enabled. Due to this it is best to remove the code so it is not used by any other network driver maintainters. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Fix running without sysfs

2007-10-10T23:52:46Z

When sysfs support is compiled out the kernel still keeps and maintains the kobject tree. So it is not safe to skip our kobject reference counting or to avoid becoming members of the kobject tree. It is safe to not add the networking specific sysfs attributes. This patch removes the sysfs special cases from net/core/dev.c renames functions from netdev_sysfs_xxxx to netdev_kobject_xxxx and always compiles in net-sysfs.c net-sysfs.c is modified with a CONFIG_SYSFS guard around the parts that are actually sysfs specific.

[NET]: Basic network namespace infrastructure.

2007-10-10T23:49:03Z

This is the basic infrastructure needed to support network namespaces. This infrastructure is: - Registration functions to support initializing per network namespace data when a network namespaces is created or destroyed. - struct net. The network namespace data structure. This structure will grow as variables are made per network namespace but this is the minimal starting point. - Functions to grab a reference to the network namespace. I provide both get/put functions that keep a network namespace from being freed. And hold/release functions serve as weak references and will warn if their count is not zero when the data structure is freed. Useful for dealing with more complicated data structures like the ipv4 route cache. - A list of all of the network namespaces so we can iterate over them. - A slab for the network namespace data structure allowing leaks to be spotted.
