[NETFILTER] nfnetlink: use highest bit of nfa_type to indicate nested TLV

2005-10-11T03:52:19+00:00

As Henrik Nordstrom pointed out, all our efforts with "split endian" (i.e.
host byte order tags, net byte order values) are useless, unless a parser
can determine whether an attribute is nested or not.

This patch steals the highest bit of nfattr.nfa_type to indicate whether
the data payload contains a nested nfattr (1) or not (0).

This will break userspace compatibility, but luckily no kernel with
nfnetlink was released so far.

[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1

2005-10-08T22:00:57+00:00

 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

[NET]: Fix packet timestamping.

2005-10-03T20:57:23+00:00

I've found the problem in general.  It affects any 64-bit
architecture.  The problem occurs when you change the system time.

Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base.  You then wind the clock back
by a day.  From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.

In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.

When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

[NETFILTER] remove bogus hand-coded htonll() from nenetlink_queue

2005-09-06T01:09:08+00:00

htonll() is nothing else than cpu_to_be64(), so we'd rather call the
latter.
