Revert "NET: Add if_addrlabel.h to sanitized headers."

2008-03-24T18:47:03+00:00

This reverts commit 5fb7ba76544d95bfa05199f7394a442de5660be7.

It was incorrectly added to the .24.y stable tree and causes build
breakages.

[VETH]: move veth.h to include/linux

2007-12-27T03:36:35+00:00

Move veth.h from net/ to linux/ since it is a user api, and add it to
user header processing Kbuild.

[ Use header-y as suggested by Sam Ravnborg.  -DaveM ]

[TIPC]: Fix headercheck wrt. tipc_config.h

2007-10-31T04:44:00+00:00

It wants string functions like memcpy() for inline
routines, and these define userland interfaces.

The only clean way to deal with this is to simply
put linux/string.h into unifdef-y and have it
include  when not-__KERNEL__.

Block driver using virtio.

2007-10-23T05:49:54+00:00

The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the
request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector
and inbuf id.  The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last
sg is the status byte.  Whether the N entries are in or out depends on
whether it's a read or a write.

We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other
side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported.  It's
not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know
if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir().

Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd,
CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace.  This needs a separate
patch.

Net driver using virtio

2007-10-23T05:49:54+00:00

The network driver uses two virtqueues: one for input packets and one
for output packets.  This has nice locking properties (ie. we don't do
any for recv vs send).

TODO:
	1) Big packets.
	2) Multi-client devices (maybe separate driver?).
	3) Resolve freeing of old xmit skbs (Christian Borntraeger)

Virtio interface

2007-10-23T05:49:54+00:00

This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms.  It will no-doubt need further enhancement.

The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.

There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.

Make asm-x86/bootparam.h includable from userspace.

2007-10-23T05:49:47+00:00

To actually write a bootloader (or, say, the lguest launcher)
currently requires duplication of these structures.  Making them
includable from userspace is much nicer.

We merge the common userspace-required definitions of e820_32/64.h
into e820.h for export.
