[IPX]: Correct return type of ipx_map_frame_type().

2006-05-16T22:17:49+00:00

Casting BE16 to int and back may or may not work. Correct, to be sure.

[IPX]: Correct argument type of ipxrtr_delete().

2006-05-16T22:07:28+00:00

A single caller passes __u32. Inside function "net" is compared with
__u32 (__be32 really, just wasn't annotated).

[NET]: Fix ipx/econet/appletalk/irda ioctl crashes

2006-03-29T01:02:43+00:00

Fix kernel oopses whenever somebody issues compatible ioctl on AppleTalk,
Econet, IPX or IRDA socket.  For AppleTalk/Econet/IRDA it restores state
in which these sockets were before compat_ioctl was introduced to the socket
ops, for IPX it implements support for 4 ioctls which were not implemented
before - as these ioctls use structures which match between 32bit and 64bit
userspace, no special code is needed, just call 64bit ioctl handler.

[NET]: Add a dev_ioctl() fallback to sock_ioctl()

2006-01-03T22:18:33+00:00

Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default
fallback in their ioctl implementations.  This patch adds a fallback
to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD.
This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't
need to export dev_ioctl.

[NET]: move struct proto_ops to const

2006-01-03T21:11:15+00:00

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)

This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.

This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)

I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.

This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

[NET]: Fix sparse warnings

2005-08-29T23:01:32+00:00

Of this type, mostly:

CHECK   net/ipv6/netfilter.c
net/ipv6/netfilter.c:96:12: warning: symbol 'ipv6_netfilter_init' was not declared. Should it be static?
net/ipv6/netfilter.c:101:6: warning: symbol 'ipv6_netfilter_fini' was not declared. Should it be static?

[TCP]: Move the tcp sock states to net/tcp_states.h

2005-08-29T22:41:54+00:00

Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this
enum was, needs it.

This speeds up development of the refactorings as less sources are
rebuilt when things get moved from net/tcp.h.
