* [SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_mac_header(skb)Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | For the common, open coded 'skb->mac.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->mac.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit. This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more "complex" cases. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

* [NET] ethernet: Fix first packet goes out with MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00Jamal Hadi Salim2006-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you turn off ARP on a netdevice then the first packet always goes out with a dstMAC of all zeroes. This is because the first packet is used to resolve ARP entries. Even though the ARP entry may be resolved (I tried by setting a static ARP entry for a host i was pinging from), it gets overwritten by virtue of having the netdevice disabling ARP. Subsequent packets go out fine with correct dstMAC address (which may be why people have ignored reporting this issue). To cut the story short: the culprit code is in net/ethernet/eth.c::eth_header() ---- /* * Anyway, the loopback-device should never use this function... */ if (dev->flags & (IFF_LOOPBACK|IFF_NOARP)) { memset(eth->h_dest, 0, dev->addr_len); return ETH_HLEN; } if(daddr) { memcpy(eth->h_dest,daddr,dev->addr_len); return ETH_HLEN; } ---- Note how the h_dest is being reset when device has IFF_NOARP. As a note: All devices including loopback pass a daddr. loopback in fact passes a 0 all the time ;-> This means i can delete the check totaly or i can remove the IFF_NOARP Alexey says: -------------------- I think, it was me who did this crap. It was so long ago I do not remember why it was made. I remember some troubles with dummy device. It tried to resolve addresses, apparently, without success and generated errors instead of blackholing. I think the problem was eventually solved at neighbour level. After some thinking I suspect the deletion of this chunk could change behaviour of some parts which do not use neighbour cache f.e. packet socket. I think safer approach would be to move this chunk after if (daddr). And the possibility to remove this completely could be analyzed later. -------------------- Patch updated with Alexey's safer suggestions.

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!
