[DECNET]: fix SIGPIPE

2005-11-11T20:04:28+00:00

Currently recvmsg generates SIGPIPE whereas sendmsg does not; for the
other stacks it seems to be the other way round!

It also fixes the bug where reading from a socket whose peer has shutdown
returned -EINVAL rather than 0.

[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1

2005-10-08T22:00:57+00:00

 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

[DECNET]: Tidy send side socket SKB allocation.

2005-09-02T00:43:45+00:00

Patch from Steve Whitehouse which I've vetted and tested:

"This patch is really intended has a move towards fixing the
sendmsg/recvmsg functions in various ways so that we will finally
have working nagle. Also reduces code duplication."

[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.
