* pkt_sched: gen_kill_estimator() rcu fixesEric Dumazet2010-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | gen_kill_estimator() API is incomplete or not well documented, since caller should make sure an RCU grace period is respected before freeing stats_lock. This was partially addressed in commit 5d944c640b4 (gen_estimator: deadlock fix), but same problem exist for all gen_kill_estimator() users, if lock they use is not already RCU protected. A code review shows xt_RATEEST.c, act_api.c, act_police.c have this problem. Other are ok because they use qdisc lock, already RCU protected.

* net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definitionEric Dumazet2009-08-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 5e140dfc1fe87eae27846f193086724806b33c7d "net: reorder struct Qdisc for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to userland via netlink. Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason. Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land, using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic) Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

* [NET_SCHED]: Kill CONFIG_NET_CLS_POLICEPatrick McHardy2007-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | The NET_CLS_ACT option is now a full replacement for NET_CLS_POLICE, remove the old code. The config option will be kept around to select the equivalent NET_CLS_ACT options for a short time to allow easier upgrades. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET_SCHED]: Remove unnecessary stats_lock pointersPatrick McHardy2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | Remove stats_lock pointers from qdisc-internal structures, in all cases it points to dev->queue_lock. The only case where it is necessary is for top-level qdiscs, where it might also point to dev->ingress_lock in case of the ingress qdisc. Also remove it from actions completely, it always points to the actions internal lock. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [PKT_SCHED]: Kill pkt_act.h inlining.David S. Miller2006-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was simply making templates of functions and mostly causing a lot of code duplication in the classifier action modules. We solve this more cleanly by having a common "struct tcf_common" that hash worker functions contained once in act_api.c can work with. Callers work with real action objects that have the common struct plus their module specific struct members. You go from a common object to the higher level one using a "to_foo()" macro which makes use of container_of() to do the dirty work. This also kills off act_generic.h which was only used by act_simple.c and keeping it around was more work than the it's value. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [PKT_SCHED]: Convert tc action functions to single skb pointersPatrick McHardy2006-01-09
| | | | | | | | | tcf_action_exec only gets a single skb pointer and doesn't own the skb, but passes double skb pointers (to a local variable) to the action functions. Change to use single skb pointers everywhere. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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!
