Fix IFB net driver input device crashes

2007-04-13T20:47:04+00:00

[IFB]: Fix crash on input device removal

The input_device pointer is not refcounted, which means the device may
disappear while packets are queued, causing a crash when ifb passes packets
with a stale skb->dev pointer to netif_rx().

Fix by storing the interface index instead and do a lookup where neccessary.

[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25+00:00

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

[PATCH] node-aware skb allocation

2006-12-07T16:39:22+00:00

Node-aware allocation of skbs for the receive path.

Details:

  - __alloc_skb gets a new node argument and cals the node-aware
    slab functions with it.
  - netdev_alloc_skb passed the node number it gets from dev_to_node
    to it, everyone else passes -1 (any node)

[NET]: Preliminaty annotation of skb->csum.

2006-12-03T05:23:44+00:00

It's still not completely right; we need to split it into anon unions
of __wsum and unsigned - for cases when we use it for partial checksum
and for offset of checksum in skb
