[NET] net/core/utils: fix sparse warning

2007-08-08T01:02:43+00:00

net_msg_warn is not defined because it is in net/sock.h which isn't
included.

[NET]: parse ip:port strings correctly in in4_pton

2007-05-31T08:23:27+00:00

in4_pton converts a textual representation of an ip4 address
into an integer representation. However, when the textual representation
is of in the form ip:port, e.g. 192.168.1.1:5060, and 'delim' is set to
-1, the function bails out with an error when reading the colon.

It makes sense to allow the colon as a delimiting character without
explicitly having to set it through the 'delim' variable as there can be
no ambiguity in the point where the ip address is completely parsed. This
function is indeed called from nf_conntrack_sip.c in this way to parse
textual ip:port combinations which fails due to the reason stated above.

[NET]: New sysctls should use __read_mostly tags

2007-04-26T05:24:19+00:00

net_msg_warn should be placed in the read_mostly section, to avoid
performance problems on SMP

[NET]: Accept wildcard delimiters in in[46]_pton

2006-12-03T06:04:04+00:00

Accept -1 as delimiter to abort parsing without an error at the first
unknown character. This is needed by the upcoming nf_conntrack SIP
helper, where addresses are delimited by either '\r' or '\n' characters.

[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]
