decnet: Fix disappearing sysctl entries

2013-03-20T15:03:28Z

When decnet is built as a module a simple: echo 0.0 >/proc/sys/net/decnet/node_address results in most of the sysctl entries under /proc/sys/net/decnet and /proc/sys/net/decnet/conf disappearing. For more details see http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg226123.html. This change applies the same workaround used in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c and net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c of creating a skeleton of decnet sysctl entries before doing anything else. The problem first appeared in kernel 2.6.27. The later rewrite of sysctl in kernel 3.4 restored the previous behavior and eliminated the need for this workaround. This patch was heavily inspired by a similar but more complex patch by Larry Baker. Reported-by: Larry Baker Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

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

decnet: proper socket refcounting

2011-11-26T20:49:07Z

Better use sk_reset_timer() / sk_stop_timer() helpers to make sure we dont access already freed/reused memory later. Reported-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Tested-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Move mtu handling down to the protocol depended handlers

2011-11-26T19:29:51Z

We move all mtu handling from dst_mtu() down to the protocol layer. So each protocol can implement the mtu handling in a different manner. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Rename the dst_opt default_mtu method to mtu

2011-11-26T19:29:50Z

We plan to invoke the dst_opt->default_mtu() method unconditioally from dst_mtu(). So rename the method to dst_opt->mtu() to match the name with the new meaning. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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

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.

net: Add ->neigh_lookup() operation to dst_ops

2011-07-18T07:40:17Z

In the future dst entries will be neigh-less. In that environment we need to have an easy transition point for current users of dst->neighbour outside of the packet output fast path. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
