[LLC]: skb allocation size for responses

2008-04-01T04:02:47+00:00

Allocate the skb for llc responses with the received packet size by
using the size adjustable llc_frame_alloc.
Don't allocate useless extra payload.
Cleanup magic numbers.

So, this fixes oops.

[LLC]: Restrict LLC sockets to root

2008-03-28T03:28:10+00:00

LLC currently allows users to inject raw frames, including IP packets
encapsulated in SNAP. While Linux doesn't handle IP over SNAP, other
systems do. Restrict LLC sockets to root similar to packet sockets.

[LLC]: Use proc_create() to setup ->proc_fops first

2008-02-28T22:08:54+00:00

Use proc_create() to make sure that ->proc_fops be setup before gluing
PDE to main tree.

[NET]: Simple ctl_table to ctl_path conversions.

2008-01-28T23:01:07+00:00

This patch includes many places, that only required
replacing the ctl_table-s with appropriate ctl_paths
and call register_sysctl_paths().

Nothing special was done with them.

[NET]: Convert init_timer into setup_timer

2008-01-28T22:53:35+00:00

Many-many code in the kernel initialized the timer->function
and  timer->data together with calling init_timer(timer). There
is already a helper for this. Use it for networking code.

The patch is HUGE, but makes the code 130 lines shorter
(98 insertions(+), 228 deletions(-)).

[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.

Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks

2007-10-19T18:53:43+00:00

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.
