[NET]: Forget the zero_it argument of sk_alloc()

2007-11-01T07:39:31+00:00

Finally, the zero_it argument can be completely removed from
the callers and from the function prototype.

Besides, fix the checkpatch.pl warnings about using the
assignments inside if-s.

This patch is rather big, and it is a part of the previous one.
I splitted it wishing to make the patches more readable. Hope 
this particular split helped.

[IPV4]: Add ICMPMsgStats MIB (RFC 4293)

2007-10-10T23:51:28+00:00

Background: RFC 4293 deprecates existing individual, named ICMP
type counters to be replaced with the ICMPMsgStatsTable. This table
includes entries for both IPv4 and IPv6, and requires counting of all
ICMP types, whether or not the machine implements the type.

These patches "remove" (but not really) the existing counters, and
replace them with the ICMPMsgStats tables for v4 and v6.
It includes the named counters in the /proc places they were, but gets the
values for them from the new tables. It also counts packets generated
from raw socket output (e.g., OutEchoes, MLD queries, RA's from
radvd, etc).

Changes:
1) create icmpmsg_statistics mib
2) create icmpv6msg_statistics mib
3) modify existing counters to use these
4) modify /proc/net/snmp to add "IcmpMsg" with all ICMP types
        listed by number for easy SNMP parsing
5) modify /proc/net/snmp printing for "Icmp" to get the named data
        from new counters.

[NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.

2007-10-10T23:49:07+00:00

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting.  By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched.  In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.

Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.

Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

[TCP]: Invoke tcp_sendmsg() directly, do not use inet_sendmsg().

2007-08-03T02:42:28+00:00

As discovered by Evegniy Polyakov, if we try to sendmsg after
a connection reset, we can do incredibly stupid things.

The core issue is that inet_sendmsg() tries to autobind the
socket, but we should never do that for TCP.  Instead we should
just go straight into TCP's sendmsg() code which will do all
of the necessary state and pending socket error checks.

TCP's sendpage already directly vectors to tcp_sendpage(), so this
merely brings sendmsg() in line with that.

[NET]: IPV6 checksum offloading in network devices

2007-07-11T05:15:52+00:00

The existing model for checksum offload does not correctly handle
devices that can offload IPV4 and IPV6 only. The NETIF_F_HW_CSUM flag
implies device can do any arbitrary protocol.

This patch:
 * adds NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM for those devices
 * fixes bnx2 and tg3 devices that need it
 * add NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM to ipv6 output (incl GSO)
 * fixes assumptions about NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM in nat
 * adjusts bridge union of checksumming computation

header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used

2007-05-08T18:15:07+00:00

Remove includes of  where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

[IPV4]: Consolidate common SNMP code

2007-04-26T05:29:51+00:00

This patch moves the SNMP code shared between IPv4/IPv6 from proc.c
into net/ipv4/af_inet.c.  This makes sense because these functions
aren't specific to /proc.

As a result we can again skip proc.o if /proc is disabled.

[NET]: inet_ehash_secret should be __read_mostly and set only once

2007-04-26T05:28:17+00:00

There is a very tiny probability that build_ehash_secret() is called
at the same time by different CPUS.

Also, using __read_mostly is a must for inet_ehash_secret
