[PATCH] rename net_random to random32

2006-10-17T15:18:43+00:00

Make net_random() more widely available by calling it random32

akpm: hopefully this will permit the removal of carta_random32.  That needs
confirmation from Stephane - this code looks somewhat more computationally
expensive, and has a different (ie: callee-stateful) interface.

[akpm@osdl.org: lots of build fixes, cleanups]

[NET]: Fix potential stack overflow in net/core/utils.c

2006-08-17T23:29:47+00:00

On High end systems (1024 or so cpus) this can potentially cause stack
overflow.  Fix the stack usage.

[PATCH] for_each_possible_cpu: network codes

2006-04-11T13:18:31+00:00

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs.  We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs.  This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.

We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.

This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu under /net

[PATCH] percpu data: only iterate over possible CPUs

2006-02-05T19:06:51+00:00

percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of
cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus.

As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS
loops to use for_each_cpu().

(The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h.  powerpc has gone it
alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's
currently corrupting memory).

[PATCH] net: allow newline terminated IP addresses in in_aton

2005-11-13T19:48:17+00:00

in_aton() gives weird results if it sees a newline at the end of the
input. This patch makes it able to handle such input correctly.
