* [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1Al Viro2005-10-081-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | - 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.

* [NET]: Fix module reference counts for loadable protocol modulesFrank Filz2005-09-271-8/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have been experimenting with loadable protocol modules, and ran into several issues with module reference counting. The first issue was that __module_get failed at the BUG_ON check at the top of the routine (checking that my module reference count was not zero) when I created the first socket. When sk_alloc() is called, my module reference count was still 0. When I looked at why sctp didn't have this problem, I discovered that sctp creates a control socket during module init (when the module ref count is not 0), which keeps the reference count non-zero. This section has been updated to address the point Stephen raised about checking the return value of try_module_get(). The next problem arose when my socket init routine returned an error. This resulted in my module reference count being decremented below 0. My socket ops->release routine was also being called. The issue here is that sock_release() calls the ops->release routine and decrements the ref count if sock->ops is not NULL. Since the socket probably didn't get correctly initialized, this should not be done, so we will set sock->ops to NULL because we will not call try_module_get(). While searching for another bug, I also noticed that sys_accept() has a possibility of doing a module_put() when it did not do an __module_get so I re-ordered the call to security_socket_accept().

* [NET]: Make sure l_linger is unsigned to avoid negative timeoutsEric Dumazet2005-09-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of my x86_64 (linux 2.6.13) server log is filled with : schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca This is because some application does a struct linger li; li.l_onoff = 1; li.l_linger = -1; setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, &li, sizeof(li)); And unfortunatly l_linger is defined as a 'signed int' in include/linux/socket.h: struct linger { int l_onoff; /* Linger active */ int l_linger; /* How long to linger for */ }; I dont know if it's safe to change l_linger to 'unsigned int' in the include file (It might be defined as int in ABI specs) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [INET]: Generalise tcp_tw_bucket, aka TIME_WAIT socketsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-291-1/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This paves the way to generalise the rest of the sock ID lookup routines and saves some bytes in TCPv4 TIME_WAIT sockets on distro kernels (where IPv6 is always built as a module): [root@qemu ~]# grep tw_sock /proc/slabinfo tw_sock_TCPv6 0 0 128 31 1 tw_sock_TCP 0 0 96 41 1 [root@qemu ~]# Now if a protocol wants to use the TIME_WAIT generic infrastructure it only has to set the sk_prot->twsk_obj_size field with the size of its inet_timewait_sock derived sock and proto_register will create sk_prot->twsk_slab, for now its only for INET sockets, but we can introduce timewait_sock later if some non INET transport protocolo wants to use this stuff. Next changesets will take advantage of this new infrastructure to generalise even more TCP code.

* [NET] Generalise TCP's struct open_request minisock infrastructureArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-06-181-0/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to ease peer review. Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn has two new members: ->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep ->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for a specific protocol The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an open_request. I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an or_calltable. Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-) Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g, etc. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentationPavel Pisa2005-05-011-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our university students again. The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

* [PATCH] kill gratitious includes of major.h under net/*Al Viro2005-04-251-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A lot of places in there are including major.h for no reason whatsoever. Removed. And yes, it still builds. The history of that stuff is often amusing. E.g. for net/core/sock.c the story looks so, as far as I've been able to reconstruct it: we used to need major.h in net/socket.c circa 1.1.early. In 1.1.13 that need had disappeared, along with register_chrdev(SOCKET_MAJOR, "socket", &net_fops) in sock_init(). Include had not. When 1.2 -> 1.3 reorg of net/* had moved a lot of stuff from net/socket.c to net/core/sock.c, this crap had followed...

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+1565
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
