ipv6: Remove neigh argument from ndisc_send_redirect()

2012-01-28T02:00:08+00:00

Instead, compute it as-needed inside of that function using dst_neigh_lookup(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Create fast inline ipv6 neigh lookup just like ipv4.

2011-12-28T20:41:23+00:00

Also, create and use an rt6_bind_neighbour() in net/ipv6/route.c to consolidate some common logic. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Use universal hash for NDISC.

2011-12-28T20:06:58+00:00

In order to perform a proper universal hash on a vector of integers, we have to use different universal hashes on each vector element. Which means we need 4 different hash randoms for ipv6. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Kill ndisc_get_neigh() inline helper.

2011-12-03T23:29:30+00:00

It's only used in net/ipv6/route.c and the NULL device check is superfluous for all of the existing call sites. Just expand the __ndisc_lookup_errno() call at each location. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Remove KERNEL cpp checks from include/net

2011-04-24T17:54:56+00:00

These header files are never installed to user consumption, so any __KERNEL__ cpp checks are superfluous. Projects should also not copy these files into their userland utility sources and try to use them there. If they insist on doing so, the onus is on them to sanitize the headers as needed.

inet: constify ip headers and in6_addr

2011-04-22T18:04:14+00:00

Add const qualifiers to structs iphdr, ipv6hdr and in6_addr pointers where possible, to make code intention more obvious. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: kill unused macros from head file

2010-12-02T21:27:33+00:00

These macros have been defined for several years since v2.6.12-rc2（tracing by git）, but never be used. So remove them. Signed-off-by: Shan Wei Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: use __packed annotation

2010-06-03T10:21:52+00:00

cleanup patch. Use new __packed annotation in net/ and include/ (except netfilter) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler

2009-09-24T14:21:04+00:00

It's unused. It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl shouldn't care about the rest. It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

ipv6: Fix sporadic sendmsg -EINVAL when sending to multicast groups.

2009-01-05T00:04:39+00:00

Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky. The core problem is that on a network with lots of active multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up. If we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does in ineffective because route entries hold a reference to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate entries with no references. IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS). So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.
