netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion

2012-09-10T19:30:41+00:00

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

net decnet: Convert to use register_net_sysctl

2012-04-21T01:22:29+00:00

Using an ascii path to register_net_sysctl as opposed to the slightly
awkward ctl_path allows for much simpler code.

net: Move all of the network sysctls without a namespace into init_net.

2012-04-21T01:21:17+00:00

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network
namespace.

This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the
initial network namespace in other namespaces.

This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to
userspace and I can't honestly remember why we didn't do this for
sysctls right from the start.

decnet: Stop using NLA_PUT*().

2012-04-02T08:33:42+00:00

These macros contain a hidden goto, and are thus extremely error
prone and make code hard to audit.

Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h preparatory to splitting and killing
it.  Performed with the following command:

perl -p -i -e 's!^#\s*include\s*.*\n!!' `grep -Irl '^#\s*include\s*' *`

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.

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)

decnet: Reduce switch/case indent

2011-07-01T23:11:15+00:00

Make the case labels the same indent as the switch.

git diff -w shows differences for line wrapping.
(fit multiple lines to 80 columns, join where possible)

net: Remove casts of void *

2011-06-17T03:19:27+00:00

Unnecessary casts of void * clutter the code.

These are the remainder casts after several specific
patches to remove netdev_priv and dev_priv.

Done via coccinelle script:

$ cat cast_void_pointer.cocci
@@
type T;
T *pt;
void *pv;
@@

- pt = (T *)pv;
+ pt = pv;
