ppp_generic: use stats from net_device structure

2008-04-24T01:54:01+00:00

Use stats which now is in the net_device instead of one declared in
ppp structure.
Kill ppp_net_stats function, because by default it is used identical
internal_stats function from net/core/dev.c

[PPP]: Sparse warning fixes.

2008-01-28T23:11:27+00:00

Fix a bunch of warnings in PPP and related drivers. Mostly because
sparse doesn't like it when the the function is only marked private in
the forward declaration.

[PPP] generic: Fix receive path data clobbering & non-linear handling

2007-09-16T23:22:13+00:00

This patch adds missing pskb_may_pull calls to deal with non-linear
packets that may arrive from pppoe or pppol2tp.

It also copies cloned packets before writing over them.

[PPP] generic: Call skb_cow_head before scribbling over skb

2007-09-16T23:21:42+00:00

It's rude to write over data that other people are still using.  So call
skb_cow_head before PPP proceeds to modify the skb data.

[PPP]: Fix output buffer size in ppp_decompress_frame().

2007-08-22T03:59:35+00:00

This patch addresses the issue with "osize too small" errors in mppe
encryption.  The patch fixes the issue with wrong output buffer size
being passed to ppp decompression routine.

--------------------
As pointed out by Suresh Mahalingam, the issue addressed by
ppp-fix-osize-too-small-errors-when-decoding patch is not fully resolved yet.
The size of allocated output buffer is correct, however it size passed to
ppp->rcomp->decompress in ppp_generic.c if wrong. The patch fixes that.

unregister_chrdev(): ignore the return value

2007-07-19T17:04:43+00:00

unregister_chrdev() always returns 0.  There is no need to check the return
value.

[PPP]: Fix osize too small errors when decoding mppe.

2007-06-24T06:05:54+00:00

The mppe_decompress() function required a buffer that is 1 byte too
small when receiving a message of mru size. This fixes buffer
allocation to prevent this from occurring.

header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used

2007-05-08T18:15:07+00:00

Remove includes of  where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).
