[AX.25]: Fix packet socket crash

2005-10-05T19:16:04+00:00

Since changeset 98a82febb6340466824c3a453738d4fbd05db81a AX.25 is passing
received IP and ARP packets to the stack through netif_rx() but we don't
set the skb->mac.raw to right value which may result in a crash with
applications that use a packet socket.

[NETROM]: Introduct stuct nr_private

2005-09-12T21:28:03+00:00

NET/ROM's virtual interfaces don't have a proper private data
structure yet.  Create struct nr_private and put the statistics there.

[NETROM]: Implement G8PZT Circuit reset for NET/ROM

2005-09-12T21:27:37+00:00

NET/ROM is lacking a connection reset like TCP's RST flag which at times
may result in a connecting having to slowly timing out instead of just being
reset.  An earlier attempt to reset the connection by sending a
NR_CONNACK | NR_CHOKE_FLAG transport was inacceptable as it did result in
crashes of BPQ systems.  An alternative approach of introducing a new
transport type 7 (NR_RESET) has be implemented several years ago in
Paula Jayne Dowie G8PZT's Xrouter.

Implement NR_RESET for Linux's NET/ROM but like any messing with the state
engine consider this experimental for now and thus control it by a sysctl
(net.netrom.reset) which for the time being defaults to off.

[NETROM]: NET/ROM has no ARP

2005-09-12T21:26:26+00:00

ARP over NET/ROM does not exist so it's obviously not implemented on any
NET/ROM stack, so the NET/ROM interfaces really should default to IFF_NOARP.

[NETROM] NET/ROM has no txqueue

2005-09-12T21:25:57+00:00

NET/ROM uses virtual interfaces so setting a queue length is wrong.

[NETROM]: statistics fix

2005-09-12T21:23:06+00:00

Calling an incoming NET/ROM-encapsulated IP packet an error if the
interface isn't up is probably a bit over the top, so count it as
dropped instead of an error.

[NETROM]: Fix rebuild header mess

2005-09-12T21:21:48+00:00

For reason that probably nobody recalls NET/ROM does it's actual
packet transmission in nr_rebuild_header and even treats invocation of
it's hard_start_xmit method nr_xmit as a bug.  Fix that by splitting
the job done by nr_rebuild_header into two halves.  Along with that we
now also can get rid of the silly clone of the skb on transmit.

[PATCH] timer initialization cleanup: DEFINE_TIMER

2005-09-09T21:03:48+00:00

Clean up timer initialization by introducing DEFINE_TIMER a'la
DEFINE_SPINLOCK.  Build and boot-tested on x86.  A similar patch has been
been in the -RT tree for some time.

[AX25]: Make ax2asc thread-proof

2005-09-06T22:49:39+00:00

Ax2asc was still using a static buffer for all invocations which isn't
exactly SMP-safe.  Change ax2asc to take an additional result buffer as
the argument.  Change all callers to provide such a buffer.
