net: reintroduce missing rcu_assign_pointer() calls

2012-01-12T20:26:56+00:00

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).

We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.

net: Add queue state xoff flag for stack

2011-11-29T17:46:19+00:00

Create separate queue state flags so that either the stack or drivers
can turn on XOFF.  Added a set of functions used in the stack to determine
if a queue is really stopped (either by stack or driver)

net: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE

2011-11-18T19:37:09+00:00

net: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE

The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived.  It applies the
alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom.  As
the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom
with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small.

This patch replaces all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE with the macro
LL_RESERVED_SPACE and direct reference to needed_tailroom.

This also fixes the problem with needed_headroom changing between
allocating the skb and reserving the head room.

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
of module.h from everywhere.

netpoll: fix incorrect access to skb data in __netpoll_rx

2011-08-26T16:49:04+00:00

__netpoll_rx() doesnt properly handle skbs with small header

pskb_may_pull() or pskb_trim_rcsum() can change skb->data, we must
reload it.

rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER

2011-08-02T11:29:23+00:00

When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier
is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon
change to not handle the special case.

Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value.

//smpl
@@ expression P; @@

- rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL)
+ RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL)

netpoll: Remove unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs of netpoll_poll and netpoll_poll_dev

2011-07-04T03:02:07+00:00

Unused symbols waste space.

Commit 0e34e93177fb
"(netpoll: add generic support for bridge and bonding devices)"
added the symbol more than a year ago with the promise of "future use".

Because it is so far unused, remove it for now.
It can be easily readded if or when it actually needs to be used.
