[NETROM/ROSE]: Kill module init version kernel log messages.

2006-05-06T00:19:26+00:00

There are out of date and don't tell the user anything useful.
The similar messages which IPV4 and the core networking used
to output were killed a long time ago.

[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.

[NETROM]: Remove unessecary lock_sock calls in netrom_ioctl()

2006-01-03T22:14:46+00:00

lock_sock is needed only in very few cases, so do it there instead of
around the switch statement.

[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.

[NETROM]: Fix three if-statements in nr_state1_machine()

2005-12-22T02:38:26+00:00

I found these while compiling with extra gcc warnings;
considering the indenting surely they are not intentional?

[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.
