atm: [br2684] allow routed mode operation again

2009-12-09T04:22:31+00:00

in routed mode, we don't have a hardware address so netdev_ops doesnt
need to validate our hardware address via .ndo_validate_addr

atm: [lec] initialize .netdev_ops before calling register_netdev()

2009-12-09T04:22:30+00:00

fix oops when initializing lane interfaces. lec should probably be
changed to use alloc_netdev() instead.

net/atm: move all compat_ioctl handling to atm/ioctl.c

2009-11-12T03:22:23+00:00

We have two implementations of the compat_ioctl handling for ATM, the
one that we have had for ages in fs/compat_ioctl.c and the one added to
net/atm/ioctl.c by David Woodhouse. Unfortunately, both versions are
incomplete, and in practice we use a very confusing combination of the
two.

For ioctl numbers that have the same identifier on 32 and 64 bit systems,
we go directly through the compat_ioctl socket operation, for those that

differ, we do a conversion in fs/compat_ioctl.c.

This patch moves both variants into the vcc_compat_ioctl() function,
while preserving the current behaviour. It also kills off the COMPATIBLE_IOCTL
definitions that we never use here.
Doing it this way is clearly not a good solution, but I hope it is a
step into the right direction, so that someone is able to clean up this
mess for real.

net: pass kern to net_proto_family create function

2009-11-06T06:18:14+00:00

The generic __sock_create function has a kern argument which allows the
security system to make decisions based on if a socket is being created by
the kernel or by userspace.  This patch passes that flag to the
net_proto_family specific create function, so it can do the same thing.

net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg

2009-10-12T20:26:31+00:00

Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows

Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames.  This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg.  AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option.  As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames.  It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count).  Tested
successfully by me.

Notes:

1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.

2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me.  This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.

3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
977750076d98c7ff6cbda51858bb5a5894a9d9ab (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.

2009-09-30T23:12:20+00:00

This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.

Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.

atm/br2684: netif_stop_queue() when atm device busy and netif_wake_queue() when we can send packets again.

2009-09-03T06:46:10+00:00

This patch removes the call to dev_kfree_skb() when the atm device is busy.
Calling dev_kfree_skb() causes heavy packet loss then the device is under
heavy load, the more correct behavior should be to stop the upper layers,
then when the lower device can queue packets again wake the upper layers.
