[ATM]: deregistration removes device from atm_devs list immediately

2005-11-30T00:16:41+00:00

atm_dev_deregister() removes device from atm_dev list immediately to
prevent operations on a phantom device.  Decision to free device based
only on ->refcnt  now. Remove shutdown_atm_dev() use atm_dev_deregister()
instead.  atm_dev_deregister() also asynchronously releases all vccs
related to device.

[ATM]: avoid race conditions related to atm_devs list

2005-11-30T00:16:21+00:00

Use semaphore to protect atm_devs list, as no one need access to it from
interrupt context.  Avoid race conditions between atm_dev_register(),
atm_dev_lookup() and atm_dev_deregister().  Fix double spin_unlock() bug.

[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1

2005-10-08T22:00:57+00:00

 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

[ATM]: fix sparse gfp nocast warnings

2005-10-05T05:38:44+00:00

Fix implicit nocast warnings in atm code:
net/atm/atm_misc.c:35:44: warning: implicit cast to nocast type
drivers/atm/fore200e.c:183:33: warning: implicit cast to nocast type

Also use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc().

[IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnl

2005-10-03T21:35:55+00:00

The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.

1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().

There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition.  I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.
