[BR_NETFILTER]: Fix leak if skb traverses > 1 bridge

2005-12-27T01:27:10+00:00

Call nf_bridge_put() before allocating a new nf_bridge structure and
potentially overwriting the pointer to a previously allocated one.
This fixes a memory leak which can occur when the bridge topology
allows for an skb to traverse more than one bridge.

[BRIDGE-NF]: Fix bridge-nf ipv6 length check

2005-12-19T22:00:08+00:00

A typo caused some bridged IPv6 packets to get dropped randomly,
as reported by Sebastien Chaumontet. The patch below fixes this
(using skb->nh.raw instead of raw) and also makes the jumbo packet
length checking up-to-date with the code in
net/ipv6/exthdrs.c::ipv6_hop_jumbo.

[BRIDGE]: recompute features when adding a new device

2005-11-24T03:04:08+00:00

We must recompute bridge features everytime the list of underlying 
devices changes, or we might end up with features that are not
supported by all devices (eg. NETIF_F_TSO)
This patch adds the missing recompute when adding a device to the bridge.

[NETFILTER]: Fix OOPSes on machines with discontiguous cpu numbering.

2005-10-13T21:41:23+00:00

Original patch by Harald Welte, with feedback from Herbert Xu
and testing by S�bastien Bernard.

EBTABLES, ARP tables, and IP/IP6 tables all assume that cpus
are numbered linearly.  That is not necessarily true.

This patch fixes that up by calculating the largest possible
cpu number, and allocating enough per-cpu structure space given
that.

[BRIDGE]: fix race on bridge del if

2005-10-12T22:10:01+00:00

This fixes the RCU race on bridge delete interface.  Basically,
the network device has to be detached from the bridge in the first
step (pre-RCU), rather than later. At that point, no more bridge traffic
will come in, and the other code will not think that network device
is part of a bridge.

This should also fix the XEN test problems.

[NET]: use __read_mostly on kmem_cache_t , DEFINE_SNMP_STAT pointers

2005-08-29T23:11:18+00:00

This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section
(read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without
memory ping pongs.

On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a
heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a
reload.
