2008-05-21tipc: Optimize null pointer check during neighbor discoveryAllan Stephens
This patch optimizes TIPC neighbor discovery code to avoid testing for a null node pointer when the pointer is already known to be non-null. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-21tipc: Prevent node object duplication due to simultaneous discoveryAllan Stephens
This patch ensures that the simultaneous discovery of the same neighboring node by multiple interfaces does not cause TIPC to add the node into its internal data structures more than once.

2008-05-21tipc: Fix skb_under_panic when configuring TIPC without privilegesAllan Stephens
This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it is issued by a process lacking those privileges. The revised error handling code avoids the use of a potentially uninitialized global variable by transforming the unauthorized command into a new command, then following the standard command processing path to generate the required error message.

2008-05-19tipc: Cosmetic cleanup of topology service codeAllan Stephens
This patch contains a set of cosmetic changes to TIPC's network topology service subsystem, including: - updates to comments (including copyright dates) - re-ordering structure fields to group them more logically - removal of optional debugging code that is no longer required - minor changes to whitespace to conform to Linux coding conventions Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-19tipc: Consolidate subscriber & subscriber port referencesAllan Stephens
This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber connection, rather than two. This is achieved by letting the reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber act as the reference to the subscriber object itself. (Since the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa, this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.) This consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50% in the default configuration. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-19tipc: Fix bug in topology server byte swapping routineAllan Stephens
This patch fixes TIPC's topology server so that it does byte swapping correctly when endianness conversion is required. (Note: This bug only impacted an application if it issues a subscription request to a topology server on another node, rather than the server on it's own node; since the topology server is normally not accessible by off-node applications, most TIPC applications were not impacted by the bug.) Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-19tipc: Add support for customized subscription endiannessAllan Stephens
This patch enables TIPC's topology server code to do customized endianness conversions on a per-subscription basis. (This capability is needed to support the upcoming consolidation of subscriber and subscription object references.)

2008-05-19tipc: Add support for customized subscription overlap handlingAllan Stephens
This patch enables TIPC's topology server code to do customized overlap detection handling on a per-subscription basis. (This capability is needed to support the upcoming introduction of multi-cluster TIPC networks.) Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-05-12tipc: Fix race condition when creating socket or native portAllan Stephens
This patch eliminates the (very remote) chance of a crash resulting from a partially initialized socket or native port unexpectedly receiving a message. Now, during the creation of a socket or native port, the underlying generic port's lock is not released until all initialization required to handle incoming messages has been done.

2008-05-12tipc: Enhancements to name table initializationAllan Stephens
This patch enhances the initialization of TIPC's name table by removing a pointless spinlock operation, and by using kcalloc() to detect requests for an oversized name table. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-08tipc: Increase buffer header to support worst-case deviceAllan Stephens
This patch increases the headroom TIPC reserves in each sk_buff to accommodate the largest possible link level device header. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-05-05tipc: Exclude debug-only print buffer code when not debuggingAllan Stephens
This patch modifies TIPC to only exclude debug-related print buffer routines when debugging capabilities are not required. It also fixes up some related #defines that exceed 80 characters. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-05tipc: Cosmetic cleanup of system & debug output declarationsAllan Stephens
This patch contains changes to make TIPC's system & debug message declarations more readable. Declarations have been regrouped and recommented to make it easier to understand what output is generated in both standard and debugging modes. In addition, oversize lines have been fixed to respect the 80 character upper bound used in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-05[TIPC]: Cosmetic cleanup of print buffer codeAllan Stephens

2008-05-05tipc: Elimination of print buffer chainingAllan Stephens
This patch revamps TIPC's print buffer subsystem to eliminate support for arbitrary chains of print buffers, which were rarely needed and difficult to use safely. In its place, print buffers can now be configured to echo their output to the system console. This provides an equivalent for the only chaining currently utilized by TIPC, in a faster and more compact manner. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-05tipc: Fix null pointer dereference in debug codeAllan Stephens
This patch eliminates an obsolete use of the DBG_OUTPUT print buffer which could lead to a null pointer crash in tipc_printf() if TIPC's debugging capabilities are configured. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-05tipc: Fix recursive spinlock invocation in print buffer codeAllan Stephens
This patch fixes two routines that allow the global print buffer spinlock to be taken recursively. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-05tipc: Provide feedback when log buffer resizing failsAllan Stephens

2008-05-05tipc: Simplify log buffer resizingAllan Stephens
This patch simplifies & standardizes the way TIPC's print buffer log is resized. Code to terminate use of the log buffer is eliminated by simply setting the log buffer size to 0 bytes. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-04-25net: Fix wrong interpretation of some copy_to_user() results.Pavel Emelyanov
I found some places, that erroneously return the value obtained from the copy_to_user() call: if some amount of bytes were not able to get to the user (this is what this one returns) the proper behavior is to return the -EFAULT error, not that number itself.

2008-04-16[TIPC]: Cleanup of TIPC reference table codeAllan Stephens
This patch is a largely cosmetic cleanup of the TIPC reference table code. - The object reference field in each table entry is now single 32-bit integer instead of a union of two 32-bit integers. - Variable naming has been made more consistent. - Error message output has been made more consistent. - Useless #includes have been eliminated.

2008-04-16[TIPC]: Optimized initialization of TIPC reference tableAllan Stephens
This patch modifies TIPC's reference table code to delay initializing table entries until they are actually needed by applications. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-04-16[TIPC]: Remove inlining of reference table locking routinesAllan Stephens
This patch converts the TIPC reference table locking routines into non-inlined routines, since they are mainly called from non-performance critical areas of TIPC and the added code footprint incurred through inlining can no longer be justified. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-04-15[TIPC]: Enhance validation of format on incoming messagesAllan Stephens
This patch ensures that TIPC properly handles incoming messages that have incorrect or unexpected formats. Most significantly, it now ensures that each sl_buff has at least as much data as the message header indicates it should, and that the entire message header is stored contiguously; this prevents TIPC from accidentally accessing memory that is not part of the sk_buff. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-04-15[TIPC]: Force linearization of non-linear sk_buffsAllan Stephens
This patch allows TIPC to process incoming messages that are stored in a fragmented sk_buff, by forcing the linearization of any such messages it receives. Note: This is an interim solution to allow TIPC to operate with Ethernet devices that generate non-linear buffers (such as the gianfar driver), until such time as the rest of TIPC is enhanced to handle sk_buffs with multiple data areas.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Use fast buffer cloning to improve performanceAllan Stephens
This patch causes TIPC to allocate fast clonable sk_buffs, rather than standard ones. This speeds up the cloning operation done by the link code each time a message is sent off-node. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-04-15[TIPC]: Remove redundant NULL check when discarding buffersAllan Stephens
This patch eliminates a null pointer check when discarding a TIPC message buffer, since kfree_skb() already handles this situation. Acknowledgements to Florian Westphal (fw@strlen.de> for suggesting this enhancement. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-04-15[TIPC]: Overhaul of socket locking logicAllan Stephens
This patch modifies TIPC's socket code to follow the same approach used by other protocols. This change eliminates the need for a mutex in the TIPC-specific portion of the socket protocol data structure -- in its place, the standard Linux socket backlog queue and associated locking routines are utilized. These changes fix a long-standing receive queue bug on SMP systems, and also enable individual read and write threads to utilize a socket without unnecessarily interfering with each other.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Add error check to detect non-blocking form of connect()Allan Stephens
This patch causes TIPC to return an error indication if the non- blocking form of connect() is requested (which TIPC does not yet support). Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-04-15[TIPC]: Correct "off by 1" error in socket queue limit enforcementAllan Stephens
This patch fixes a bug that allowed TIPC to queue 1 more message than allowed by the socket receive queue threshold limits. The patch also improves the threshold code's logic and naming to help prevent this sort of error from recurring in the future.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Ignore message padding when receiving stream dataAllan Stephens
This patch ensures that padding bytes appearing at the end of an incoming TIPC message are not returned as valid stream data. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-04-15[TIPC]: Allow stream receive to read from multiple TIPC messagesAllan Stephens
This patch allows a stream socket to receive data from multiple TIPC messages in its receive queue, without requiring the use of the MSG_WAITALL flag. Acknowledgements to Florian Westphal <fw-tipc@strlen.de> for identifying this issue and suggesting how to correct it.

2008-04-13[TIPC]: Improve socket time conversionsAllan Stephens
This patch modifies TIPC's socket code to use standard kernel routines to handle time conversions between jiffies and ms. This ensures proper operation even when HZ isn't 1000.

2008-03-06[TIPC]: Enhancements to message header writingAllan Stephens
This patch makes two enhancements to the routine used to set bit fields within a TIPC message header: 1) It now ignores any bits of the new field value that are not covered by the mask being used. (Previously, if the new value exceeded the size of the mask the extra bits could corrupt other fields in the message header word being updated.) 2) The code has been optimized to minimize the number of run-time endianness conversion operations by leveraging the fact that the mask (and, in some cases, the value as well) is constant and the necessary conversion can be performed by the compiler.
