can: gw: add a per rule limitation of frame hops

2013-08-29T20:58:24+00:00

Usually the received CAN frames can be processed/routed as much as 'max_hops'
times (which is given at module load time of the can-gw module).
Introduce a new configuration option to reduce the number of possible hops
for a specific gateway rule to a value smaller then max_hops.

net: pass info struct via netdevice notifier

2013-05-28T20:11:01+00:00

So far, only net_device * could be passed along with netdevice notifier
event. This patch provides a possibility to pass custom structure
able to provide info that event listener needs to know.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2013-05-02T00:51:54+00:00

Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,

Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).

7kloc removed.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

net: sock: make sock_tx_timestamp void

2013-04-14T19:41:49+00:00

Currently, sock_tx_timestamp() always returns 0. The comment that
describes the sock_tx_timestamp() function wrongly says that it
returns an error when an invalid argument is passed (from commit
20d4947353be, ``net: socket infrastructure for SO_TIMESTAMPING'').
Make the function void, so that we can also remove all the unneeded
if conditions that check for such a _non-existant_ error case in the
output path.

procfs: new helper - PDE_DATA(inode)

2013-04-09T18:13:32+00:00

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
really cares about is PDE(inode)->data.  Provide a helper
for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
layout.

can: gw: use kmem_cache_free() instead of kfree()

2013-04-09T07:58:44+00:00

Memory allocated by kmem_cache_alloc() should be freed using
kmem_cache_free(), not kfree().

rtnetlink: Remove passing of attributes into rtnl_doit functions

2013-03-22T14:31:16+00:00

With decnet converted, we can finally get rid of rta_buf and its
computations around it. It also gets rid of the minimal header
length verification since all message handlers do that explicitly
anyway.

can: dump stack on protocol bugs

2013-03-19T13:44:34+00:00

The rework of the kernel hlist implementation "hlist: drop the node parameter
from iterators" (b67bfe0d42cac56c512dd5da4b1b347a23f4b70a) created some
fallout in the form of non matching comments and obsolete code.

Additionally to the cleanup this patch adds a WARN() statement to catch the
caller of the wrong filter removal request.
