From 1c430a727fa512500a422ffe4712166c550ea06a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 7 May 2012 15:39:06 +0200 Subject: net: compare_ether_addr[_64bits]() has no ordering Neither compare_ether_addr() nor compare_ether_addr_64bits() (as it can fall back to the former) have comparison semantics like memcmp() where the sign of the return value indicates sort order. We had a bug in the wireless code due to a blind memcmp replacement because of this. A cursory look suggests that the wireless bug was the only one due to this semantic difference.

Miller" Date: Thu, 10 May 2012 23:03:34 -0400 Subject: Revert "net: maintain namespace isolation between vlan and real device" This reverts commit 8a83a00b0735190384a348156837918271034144. It causes regressions for S390 devices, because it does an unconditional DST drop on SKBs for vlans and the QETH device needs the neighbour entry hung off the DST for certain things on transmit. Arnd can't remember exactly why he even needed this change. Conflicts: drivers/net/macvlan.c net/8021q/vlan_dev.c net/core/dev.c Signed-off-by: David S.
