[RXRPC]: Add missing select on CRYPTO

2007-11-30T12:30:40+00:00

AF_RXRPC uses the crypto services, so should depend on or select CRYPTO.

[NET]: Add the helper kernel_sock_shutdown()

2007-11-13T02:10:39+00:00

...and fix a couple of bugs in the NBD, CIFS and OCFS2 socket handlers.

Looking at the sock->op->shutdown() handlers, it looks as if all of them
take a SHUT_RD/SHUT_WR/SHUT_RDWR argument instead of the
RCV_SHUTDOWN/SEND_SHUTDOWN arguments.
Add a helper, and then define the SHUT_* enum to ensure that kernel users
of shutdown() don't get confused.

[SG] Get rid of __sg_mark_end()

2007-11-02T07:47:06+00:00

sg_mark_end() overwrites the page_link information, but all users want
__sg_mark_end() behaviour where we just set the end bit. That is the most
natural way to use the sg list, since you'll fill it in and then mark the
end point.

So change sg_mark_end() to only set the termination bit. Add a sg_magic
debug check as well, and clear a chain pointer if it is set.

[NET]: Forget the zero_it argument of sk_alloc()

2007-11-01T07:39:31+00:00

Finally, the zero_it argument can be completely removed from
the callers and from the function prototype.

Besides, fix the checkpatch.pl warnings about using the
assignments inside if-s.

This patch is rather big, and it is a part of the previous one.
I splitted it wishing to make the patches more readable. Hope 
this particular split helped.

[NET]: Fix incorrect sg_mark_end() calls.

2007-10-31T04:29:29+00:00

This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by

	commit 68e3f5dd4db62619fdbe520d36c9ebf62e672256
	[CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors

The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the
sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry.

The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end().

After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct
solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is
what all of the callers would end up doing anyways.

I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is
the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec().

Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to
__sg_mark_end() as well.

Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't
just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is
what led to these bugs in the first place.

The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable()
and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that
we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h

[CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors

2007-10-27T07:52:07+00:00

This patch fixes the errors made in the users of the crypto layer during
the sg_init_table conversion.  It also adds a few conversions that were
missing altogether.

KEYS: Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous

2007-10-17T15:42:57+00:00

Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for
NFS to make use of them.  There are now accessor functions that do
asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to
complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion
of construction.

Note that the construction queue is now gone.  Instead, keys under
construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that
anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use
it.  This is done automatically for userspace.

The following auxiliary changes are also made:

 (1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into
     linux/key-type.h.

 (2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does
     not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly.

 (3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if
     they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining
     __KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.

 (3) Documentation.

[NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.

2007-10-10T23:49:07+00:00

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting.  By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched.  In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.

Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.

Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

[NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace

2007-10-10T23:49:06+00:00

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.
