decnet: netdevice refcount leak

2009-11-06T08:50:39+00:00

While working on device refcount stuff, I found a device refcount leak
through DECNET.
This nasty bug can be used to hold refcounts on any !DECNET netdevice.

net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.

2009-09-30T23:12:20+00:00

This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.

Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler

2009-09-24T14:21:04+00:00

It's unused.

It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl
shouldn't care about the rest.

It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pages

2009-09-22T14:17:38+00:00

Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical
pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount
of) non-RAM pages.  The amount of what actually is usable as storage
should instead be used as a basis here.

Some of the calculations (i.e.  those not intending to use high memory)
should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

These tables are never modified at runtime. Move to read-only

net: remove NET_RX_BAD and NET_RX_CN* defines

2009-07-06T02:15:35+00:00

almost no users in the tree; and the few that use them treat them
like NET_RX_DROP.

decnet: Use rcu_barrier() on module unload.

2009-06-26T20:51:27+00:00

The decnet module unloading as been disabled with a '#if 0' statement,
because it have had issues.

We add a rcu_barrier() anyhow for correctness.

The maintainer (Chrissie Caulfield) will look into the unload issue
when time permits.

net: correct off-by-one write allocations reports

2009-06-18T07:29:12+00:00

commit 2b85a34e911bf483c27cfdd124aeb1605145dc80
(net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx)
changed initial sk_wmem_alloc value.

We need to take into account this offset when reporting
sk_wmem_alloc to user, in PROC_FS files or various
ioctls (SIOCOUTQ/TIOCOUTQ)

net: skb->dst accessors

2009-06-03T09:51:04+00:00

Define three accessors to get/set dst attached to a skb

struct dst_entry *skb_dst(const struct sk_buff *skb)

void skb_dst_set(struct sk_buff *skb, struct dst_entry *dst)

void skb_dst_drop(struct sk_buff *skb)
This one should replace occurrences of :
dst_release(skb->dst)
skb->dst = NULL;

Delete skb->dst field
