net: Pass kern from net_proto_family.create to sk_alloc

2015-05-11T14:50:17+00:00

In preparation for changing how struct net is refcounted
on kernel sockets pass the knowledge that we are creating
a kernel socket from sock_create_kern through to sk_alloc.

net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg

2015-03-02T18:06:31+00:00

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.

net: llc: use correct size for sysctl timeout entries

2015-01-25T08:23:21+00:00

The timeout entries are sizeof(int) rather than sizeof(long), which
means that when they were getting read we'd also leak kernel memory
to userspace along with the timeout values.

llc: Make llc_sap_action_t function pointer arrays const

2014-12-10T20:21:24+00:00

It's better when function pointer arrays aren't modifiable.

Net change:

$ size net/llc/built-in.o.*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

new helper: memcpy_from_msg()

2014-11-24T09:28:48+00:00

Signed-off-by: Al Viro

net: Add and use skb_copy_datagram_msg() helper.

2014-11-05T21:46:40+00:00

This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers
with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr->msg_iov, length".

When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will
sit in the msghdr.

Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch
during that transformation.

Based upon descriptions and patch from Al Viro.

net_dma: simple removal

2014-09-28T14:05:16+00:00

Per commit "77873803363c net_dma: mark broken" net_dma is no longer used
and there is no plan to fix it.

This is the mechanical removal of bits in CONFIG_NET_DMA ifdef guards.
Reverting the remainder of the net_dma induced changes is deferred to
subsequent patches.

Marked for stable due to Roman's report of a memory leak in
dma_pin_iovec_pages():
