[NET]: Use newer is_multicast_ether_addr() in some files

2006-01-06T21:05:58+00:00

This uses is_multicast_ether_addr() because it has recently been
changed to do the same thing these seperate tests are doing.

[NET]: move struct proto_ops to const

2006-01-03T21:11:15+00:00

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)

This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.

This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)

I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.

This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

[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.
