netns: Use net_eq() to compare net-namespaces for optimization.

2008-07-20T05:34:43+00:00

Without CONFIG_NET_NS, namespace is always &init_net.
Compiler will be able to omit namespace comparisons with this patch.

sock: add net to prot->enter_memory_pressure callback

2008-07-17T03:28:10+00:00

The tcp_enter_memory_pressure calls NET_INC_STATS, but doesn't
have where to get the net from.

I decided to add a sk argument, not the net itself, only to factor
all the required sock_net(sk) calls inside the enter_memory_pressure 
callback itself.

net: add fib_rules_ops to flush_cache method

2008-07-06T02:01:28+00:00

This is required to pass namespace context into rt_cache_flush called from
->flush_cache.

decnet: Remove SOCK_SLEEP_{PRE,POST} usage.

2008-06-17T08:06:01+00:00

Just expand the wait sequence.  And as a nice side-effect
the timeout is respected now.

ip: Use inline function dst_metric() instead of direct access to dst->metric[]

2008-05-05T05:14:42+00:00

There are functions to refer to the value of dst->metric[THE_METRIC-1]
directly without use of a inline function "dst_metric" defined in
net/dst.h.

The following patch changes them to use the inline function
consistently.

[NET] NETNS: Omit sock->sk_net without CONFIG_NET_NS.

2008-03-25T19:39:55+00:00

Introduce per-sock inlines: sock_net(), sock_net_set()
and per-inet_timewait_sock inlines: twsk_net(), twsk_net_set().
Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists.
Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations.

[NET] NETNS: Omit net_device->nd_net without CONFIG_NET_NS.

2008-03-25T19:39:53+00:00

Introduce per-net_device inlines: dev_net(), dev_net_set().
Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists.
Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations.

[ATALK/DECNET]: Use seq_open_private in appletalk and decnet.

2008-02-29T19:38:24+00:00

These two also perform manual seq_open_private, so patch them both at
once. But unlike ATM code, these already use the seq_release_private,
so I splitted this patch from the previous one.

[DECNET] ROUTE: remove unecessary alignment

2008-02-08T07:29:57+00:00

Same alignment requirement was removed on IP route cache in the past.

This alignment actually has bad effect on 32 bit arches, uniprocessor,
since sizeof(dn_rt_hash_bucket) is forced to 8 bytes instead of 4.
