Add missing skb->dev assignment in Frame Relay RX code

2008-07-04T12:09:39+00:00

Commit 4c13eb6657fe9ef7b4dc8f1a405c902e9e5234e0 ([ETH]: Make
eth_type_trans set skb->dev like the other *_type_trans) removed
skb->dev assignment from hdlc_fr.c:fr_rx(). Unfortunately it was also
needed for cases other than eth_type_trans().

Adding it back.

It's quite serious and may be a security risk as it causes a wrong
input interface indication (the physical hdlcX instead of logical
pvcX). Probably -stable class fix.

syncppp: Fix crashes.

2008-05-12T10:29:11+00:00

The syncppp layer wants a mid-level netdev private pointer.

It was using netdev->priv but that only worked by accident,
and thus this scheme was broken when the device private
allocation strategy changed.

Add a proper mid-layer private pointer for uses like this,
update syncppp and all users, and remove the HDLC_PPP broken
tag from drivers/net/wan/Kconfig

tty: The big operations rework

2008-04-30T15:29:47+00:00

- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux
  objects

- Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour

- Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer

- Document which functions are needed/optional

- Make put_char report success/fail

- Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops

- Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need

- Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan

- Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc
  combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present

pc300: Update to tty_set_operations

This driver somehow escaped the tty operations changes way back when.  Update
it so that we can switch to tty->ops shortly.

Removing dead code in drivers/net/wan/hdlc_fr.c

2008-04-25T06:08:09+00:00

The local variable "prefix" is never used anymore, and the content of
this string appears a bit later, directly in a call to "alloc_netdev"
after doing exactly the same if/else test. So there seems to be no
point keeping those 4 lines anymore.
