* [NET] net/core: Fix error handlingJosef 'Jeff' Sipek2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | Upon failure to register "ptype" procfs entry, "softnet_stat" was not removed, and an incorrect attempt was made to remove the "ptype" entry. Signed-off-by: Josef 'Jeff' Sipek <jsipek@cs.sunysb.edu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: Rework dev_base via list_head (v3)Pavel Emelianov2007-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev loop. A few most complicated places were converted to using first_netdev()/next_netdev().

* [NET]: Remove NETIF_F_INTERNAL_STATS, default to internal stats.Rusty Russell2007-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | Herbert Xu conviced me that a new flag was overkill; every driver currently overrides get_stats, so we might as well make the internal one the default. If someone did fail to set get_stats, they would now get all 0 stats instead of "No statistics available".

* [NET]: Warn about GSO/checksum abuseHerbert Xu2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | Now that Patrick has added the code to deal with GSO in netfilter, we no longer need the crutch that computes partial checksums just before transmission. This patch turns this into a warning again. If this goes OK, we can then turn it into a BUG_ON and remove the gso_send_check cruft.

* [NET_SCHED]: ingress: switch back to using ingress_lockPatrick McHardy2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | Switch ingress queueing back to use ingress_lock. qdisc_lock_tree now locks both the ingress and egress qdiscs on the device. All changes to data that might be used on both ingress and egress needs to be protected by using qdisc_lock_tree instead of manually taking dev->queue_lock. Additionally the qdisc stats_lock needs to be initialized to ingress_lock for ingress qdiscs. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [NET]: Use csum_start offset instead of skb_transport_headerHerbert Xu2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The skb transport pointer is currently used to specify the start of the checksum region for transmit checksum offload. Unfortunately, the same pointer is also used during receive side processing. This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer would be overwritten. This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose of checksums. This offset is calculated from skb->head so that it does not have to change when skb->data changes. No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start. For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.

* [NET]: Inline net_device_statsRusty Russell2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if this were done by default. 1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device". 2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one" 3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set. 4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if ->get_stats is set. This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code. Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.

* [SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_tArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2007-04-26

* [NET]: convert network timestamps to ktime_tEric Dumazet2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain 'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct sock. This has some drawbacks : - Fixed resolution of micro second. - Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16 I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution. As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...) Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS) Note : this patch includes a bug correction in compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> CC: John find <linux.kernel@free.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [PATCH] net: Ignore sysfs network device rename bugs.Eric W. Biederman2007-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The generic networking code ensures that no two networking devices have the same name, so there is no time except when sysfs has implementation bugs that device_rename when called from dev_change_name will fail. The current error handling for errors from device_rename in dev_change_name is wrong and results in an unusable and unrecoverable network device if device_rename is happens to return an error. This patch removes the buggy error handling. Which confines the mess when device_rename hits a problem to sysfs, instead of propagating it the rest of the network stack. Making linux a little more robust. Without this patch you can observe what happens when sysfs has a bug when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set and you attempt to rename a real network device to a name like (broken_parity_status, device, modalias, power, resource2, subsystem_vendor, class, driver, irq, msi_bus, resource, subsystem, uevent, config, enable, local_cpus, numa_node, resource0, subsystem_device, vendor) Greg has a patch that fixes the sysfs bugs but he doesn't trust it for a 2.6.21 timeframe. This patch which just ignores errors should be safe and it keeps the system from going completely wacky. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [NET_SCHED]: Fix fallout from dev->qdisc RCU changePatrick McHardy2006-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The move of qdisc destruction to a rcu callback broke locking in the entire qdisc layer by invalidating previously valid assumptions about the context in which changes to the qdisc tree occur. The two assumptions were: - since changes only happen in process context, read_lock doesn't need bottem half protection. Now invalid since destruction of inner qdiscs, classifiers, actions and estimators happens in the RCU callback unless they're manually deleted, resulting in dead-locks when read_lock in process context is interrupted by write_lock_bh in bottem half context. - since changes only happen under the RTNL, no additional locking is necessary for data not used during packet processing (f.e. u32_list). Again, since destruction now happens in the RCU callback, this assumption is not valid anymore, causing races while using this data, which can result in corruption or use-after-free. Instead of "fixing" this by disabling bottem halfs everywhere and adding new locks/refcounting, this patch makes these assumptions valid again by moving destruction back to process context. Since only the dev->qdisc pointer is protected by RCU, but ->enqueue and the qdisc tree are still protected by dev->qdisc_lock, destruction of the tree can be performed immediately and only the final free needs to happen in the rcu callback to make sure dev_queue_xmit doesn't access already freed memory.
