[IPV4] ipmr: ip multicast route bug fix.

2006-07-25T23:45:12+00:00

IP multicast route code was reusing an skb which causes use after free
and double free.

From: Alexey Kuznetsov 

Note, it is real skb_clone(), not alloc_skb(). Equeued skb contains
the whole half-prepared netlink message plus room for the rest.
It could be also skb_copy(), if we want to be puristic about mangling
cloned data, but original copy is really not going to be used.

[IPV4]: Get rid of redundant IPCB->opts initialisation

2006-07-21T21:29:53+00:00

Now that we always zero the IPCB->opts in ip_rcv, it is no longer
necessary to do so before calling netif_rx for tunneled packets.

[NET]: dev_put/dev_hold cleanup

2006-03-21T06:32:28+00:00

Get rid of the old __dev_put macro that is just a hold over from pre 2.6
kernel.  And turn dev_hold into an inline instead of a macro.

[INET_SOCK]: Move struct inet_sock & helper functions to net/inet_sock.h

2006-01-03T21:11:21+00:00

To help in reducing the number of include dependencies, several files were
touched as they were getting needed headers indirectly for stuff they use.

Thanks also to Alan Menegotto for pointing out that net/dccp/proto.c had
linux/dccp.h include twice.

[IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnl

2005-10-03T21:35:55+00:00

The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.

1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().

There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition.  I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

[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.
