[NET]: Fix race condition in sk_wait_event().

2006-03-18T00:05:43+00:00

It is broken, the condition is checked out of socket lock. It is wonderful the bug survived for so long time. [ This fixes bugzilla #6233: race condition in tcp_sendmsg when connection became established ] Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Add CONFIG_NETDEBUG to suppress bad packet messages.

2006-02-03T04:40:09+00:00

If you are on a hostile network, or are running protocol tests, you can easily get the logged swamped by messages about bad UDP and ICMP packets. This turns those messages off unless a config option is enabled. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: Dave Jones Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Change sk_run_filter()'s return type in net/core/filter.c

2006-01-06T21:08:20+00:00

It should return an unsigned value, and fix sk_filter() as well. Signed-off-by: Kris Katterjohn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[SOCK]: Introduce sk_receive_skb

2006-01-03T21:11:19+00:00

Its common enough to to justify that, TCP still can't use it as it has the prequeueing stuff, still to be made generic in the not so distant future :-) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[TWSK]: Introduce struct timewait_sock_ops

2006-01-03T21:10:54+00:00

So that we can share several timewait sockets related functions and make the timewait mini sockets infrastructure closer to the request mini sockets one. Next changesets will take advantage of this, moving more code out of TCP and DCCP v4 and v6 to common infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Avoid atomic xchg() for non-error case

2006-01-03T21:10:44+00:00

It also looks like there were 2 places where the test on sk_err was missing from the event wait logic (in sk_stream_wait_connect and sk_stream_wait_memory), while the rest of the sock_error() users look to be doing the right thing. This version of the patch fixes those, and cleans up a few places that were testing ->sk_err directly. Signed-off-by: Benjamin LaHaise Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[TCP]: speed up SACK processing

2005-11-11T01:14:59+00:00

Use "hints" to speed up the SACK processing. Various forms of this have been used by TCP developers (Web100, STCP, BIC) to avoid the 2x linear search of outstanding segments. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: sk_add_backlog convert from macro to inline

2005-11-08T17:39:42+00:00

There is no reason for sk_add_backlog to be a macro. It can just be an inline function and get type checking. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] gfp_t: net/*

[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.
