net: move procfs code to net/core/net-procfs.c

2013-02-19T05:51:10Z

Similar to net/core/net-sysfs.c, group procfs code to a single unit. Cc: "David S. Miller" Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: move ioctl functions into a separated file

2013-02-18T17:27:32Z

They well deserve a separated unit. Cc: "David S. Miller" Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sock_diag: Move the sock_ code to net/core/

2011-12-06T18:58:02Z

This patch moves the sock_ code from inet_diag.c to generic sock_diag.c file and provides necessary request_module-s calls and a pointer on inet_diag_compat dumping routine. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: introduce skb_flow_dissect()

2011-11-29T00:09:07Z

We use at least two flow dissectors in network stack, with known limitations and code duplication. Introduce skb_flow_dissect() to factorize this, highly inspired from existing dissector from __skb_get_rxhash() Note : We extensively use skb_header_pointer(), this permits us to not touch skb at all.

net: add network priority cgroup infrastructure (v4)

2011-11-22T20:22:23Z

This patch adds in the infrastructure code to create the network priority cgroup. The cgroup, in addition to the standard processes file creates two control files: 1) prioidx - This is a read-only file that exports the index of this cgroup. This is a value that is both arbitrary and unique to a cgroup in this subsystem, and is used to index the per-device priority map 2) priomap - This is a writeable file. On read it reports a table of 2-tuples where name is the name of a network interface and priority is indicates the priority assigned to frames egresessing on the named interface and originating from a pid in this cgroup This cgroup allows for skb priority to be set prior to a root qdisc getting selected. This is benenficial for DCB enabled systems, in that it allows for any application to use dcb configured priorities so without application modification Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: John Fastabend CC: Robert Love CC: "David S.

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

2011-08-07T01:33:19Z

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. Miller

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
