CONNECTOR: Don't touch queue dev after decrement of ref count.

2008-02-06T19:43:44+00:00

[CONNECTOR]: Don't touch queue dev after decrement of ref count. [ Upstream commit: cf585ae8ae9ac7287a6d078425ea32f22bf7f1f7 ] cn_queue_free_callback() will touch 'dev'(i.e. cbq->pdev), so it should be called before atomic_dec(&dev->refcnt).

[NETLINK]: Switch cb_lock spinlock to mutex and allow to override it

2007-04-26T05:29:03+00:00

Switch cb_lock to mutex and allow netlink kernel users to override it with a subsystem specific mutex for consistent locking in dump callbacks. All netlink_dump_start users have been audited not to rely on any side-effects of the previously used spinlock. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETLINK]: Introduce nlmsg_hdr() helper

2007-04-26T05:26:34+00:00

For the common "(struct nlmsghdr *)skb->data" sequence, so that we reduce the number of direct accesses to skb->data and for consistency with all the other cast skb member helpers. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[CONNECTOR]: Bugfix for cn_call_callback()

2007-03-08T00:08:08+00:00

When system under heavy stress and must allocate new work instead of reusing old one, new work must use correct completion callback. Patch is based on Philipp's and Lars' work. I only cleaned small stuff (and removed spaces instead of tabs). Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Polyakov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] connector: some fixes for ia64 unaligned access errors

2007-01-06T07:55:29+00:00

On ia64, the various functions that make up cn_proc.c cause kernel unaligned access errors. If you are using these, for example, to get notification about all tasks forking and exiting, you get multiple unaligned access errors per process. Use put_unaligned() in the appropriate palces to fix this. Signed-off-by: Erik Jacobson Cc: Evgeniy Polyakov Cc: "Luck, Tony" Cc: Cc: "David S.

[CONNECTOR]: Fix compilation breakage introduced recently.

2006-12-18T05:59:24+00:00

Linus has changed work queue structure and has not tested it with connector compiled in, his changes break the build. Attached patch fixes compilation error. Patch is against commit 99f5e9718185f07458ae70c2282c2153a2256c91. Thanks to Toralf Förster for pointing this out. Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Polyakov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestamp

2006-07-31T20:28:36+00:00

Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field (struct timespec) is not arch independent. This affects the fields that follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes. This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels on ppc64, s390, x86-64.. any "biarch" system. Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier. We have since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov. This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which stores the number of nanoseconds. Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit application and on a i386 system.

[PATCH] connector-exports
