net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s

2010-05-18T06:23:14Z

This patch removes from net/ (but not any netfilter files) all the unnecessary return; statements that precede the last closing brace of void functions. It does not remove the returns that are immediately preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that. Done via: $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \ xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }' Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S.

net: rtnetlink: decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families

2010-04-26T14:13:54Z

Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO. This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table without breaking compatibility. This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values above that may be used arbitrarily. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

net: fib_rules: mark arguments to fib_rules_register const and __net_initdata

2010-04-26T14:02:04Z

fib_rules_register() duplicates the template passed to it without modification, mark the argument as const. Additionally the templates are only needed when instantiating a new namespace, so mark them as __net_initdata, which means they can be discarded when CONFIG_NET_NS=n. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

net: sk_sleep() helper

2010-04-20T23:37:13Z

Define a new function to return the waitqueue of a "struct sock". static inline wait_queue_head_t *sk_sleep(struct sock *sk) { return sk->sk_sleep; } Change all read occurrences of sk_sleep by a call to this function. Needed for a future RCU conversion. sk_sleep wont be a field directly available. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: fib_rules: decouple address families from real address families

2010-04-13T21:49:31Z

Decouple the address family values used for fib_rules from the real address families in socket.h. This allows to use fib_rules for code that is not a real address family without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO. Values up to 127 are reserved for real address families and map directly to the corresponding AF value, values starting from 128 are for other uses. rtnetlink is changed to invoke the AF_UNSPEC dumpit/doit handlers for these families.

net: fib_rules: set family in fib_rule_hdr centrally

2010-04-13T21:49:30Z

All fib_rules implementations need to set the family in their ->fill() functions. Since the value is available to the generic fib_nl_fill_rule() function, set it there. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: fib_rules: consolidate IPv4 and DECnet ->default_pref() functions.

2010-04-13T21:49:30Z

Both functions are equivalent, consolidate them since a following patch needs a third implementation for multicast routing. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: sk_dst_cache RCUification

2010-04-13T08:41:33Z

With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this work. sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock) This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU again :) This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers. __sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check() condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk)) This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets, for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.
