net: reintroduce missing rcu_assign_pointer() calls

2012-02-03T17:22:20Z

[ Upstream commit cf778b00e96df6d64f8e21b8395d1f8a859ecdc7 ] commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, y). We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet CC: Stephen Hemminger CC: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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

netpoll: fix incorrect access to skb data in __netpoll_rx

2011-08-26T16:49:04Z

__netpoll_rx() doesnt properly handle skbs with small header pskb_may_pull() or pskb_trim_rcsum() can change skb->data, we must reload it. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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.

netpoll: Remove unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs of netpoll_poll and netpoll_poll_dev

2011-07-04T03:02:07Z

Unused symbols waste space. Commit 0e34e93177fb "(netpoll: add generic support for bridge and bonding devices)" added the symbol more than a year ago with the promise of "future use". Because it is so far unused, remove it for now. It can be easily readded if or when it actually needs to be used. cc: WANG Cong Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netpoll: call dev_put() on error in netpoll_setup()

netpoll: prevent netpoll setup on slave devices

2011-06-09T07:28:13Z

In commit 8d8fc29d02a33e4bd5f4fa47823c1fd386346093 (netpoll: disable netpoll when enslave a device), we automatically disable netpoll when the underlying device is being enslaved, we also need to prevent people from setuping netpoll on devices that are already enslaved.

net: add mac_pton() for parsing MAC address

2011-05-09T19:10:49Z

mac_pton() parses MAC address in form XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX and only in that form. mac_pton() doesn't dirty result until it's sure string representation is valid. mac_pton() doesn't care about characters _after_ last octet, it's up to caller to deal with it. mac_pton() diverges from 0/-E return value convention. Target usage: if (!mac_pton(str, whatever->mac)) return -EINVAL; /* ->mac being u8 [ETH_ALEN] is filled at this point. */ /* optionally check str[3 * ETH_ALEN - 1] for termination */ Use mac_pton() in pktgen and netconsole for start.
