[NET]: Add a dev_ioctl() fallback to sock_ioctl()

2006-01-03T22:18:33Z

Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default fallback in their ioctl implementations. This patch adds a fallback to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD. This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't need to export dev_ioctl.

[NET]: move struct proto_ops to const

2006-01-03T21:11:15Z

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at least) This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const, so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing. This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly) I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make them const. This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and speedup some socket system calls. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Fix sparse warnings

2005-08-29T23:01:32Z

Of this type, mostly: CHECK net/ipv6/netfilter.c net/ipv6/netfilter.c:96:12: warning: symbol 'ipv6_netfilter_init' was not declared. Should it be static? net/ipv6/netfilter.c:101:6: warning: symbol 'ipv6_netfilter_fini' was not declared. Should it be static? Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPX]: Fix build error in ipx_recvmsg()

2005-08-29T23:00:24Z

Missing semicolon introduced by skb->stamp changeset: d3258b7d8ed96f97032639bc745179f1951b0da5 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Store skb->timestamp as offset to a base timestamp

2005-08-29T22:58:24Z

Reduces skb size by 8 bytes on 64-bit. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[TCP]: Move the tcp sock states to net/tcp_states.h

2005-08-29T22:41:54Z

Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this enum was, needs it. This speeds up development of the refactorings as less sources are rebuilt when things get moved from net/tcp.h. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Kill skb->real_dev

2005-08-29T22:32:25Z

Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond() decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original device into packet_type->func() as an argument. It remains to be seen whether we can use this same exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: move config options out to individual protocols

2005-07-12T04:13:56Z

Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36Z

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
