* smack: Add a new '-CIPSO' option to the network address label configurationEtienne Basset2009-03-281-5/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new special option '-CIPSO' to the Smack subsystem. When used in the netlabel list, it means "use CIPSO networking". A use case is when your local network speaks CIPSO and you want also to connect to the unlabeled Internet. This patch also add some documentation describing that. The patch also corrects an oops when setting a '' SMACK64 xattr to a file.

* selinux: Remove the "compat_net" compatibility codePaul Moore2009-03-282-20/+0
| | | | | | | | | | The SELinux "compat_net" is marked as deprecated, the time has come to finally remove it from the kernel. Further code simplifications are likely in the future, but this patch was intended to be a simple, straight-up removal of the compat_net code.

* cfg80211: make regdom module parameter available oustide of OLD_REGLuis R. Rodriguez2009-03-271-4/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems a few users are using this module parameter although its not recommended. People are finding it useful despite there being utilities for setting this in userspace. I'm not aware of any distribution using this though. Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg code to help these users migrate. Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled system will world roam. This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module parameter circa March 2010. Hope is by then nirvana is reached and users will abandoned the module parameter completely.

|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * 'bkl-removal' of git://git.lwn.net/linux-2.6: Rationalize fasync return values Move FASYNC bit handling to f_op->fasync() Use f_lock to protect f_flags Rename struct file->f_ep_lock
| * Move FASYNC bit handling to f_op->fasync()Jonathan Corbet2009-03-161-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removing the BKL from FASYNC handling ran into the challenge of keeping the setting of the FASYNC bit in filp->f_flags atomic with regard to calls to the underlying fasync() function. Andi Kleen suggested moving the handling of that bit into fasync(); this patch does exactly that. As a result, we have a couple of internal API changes: fasync() must now manage the FASYNC bit, and it will be called without the BKL held. As it happens, every fasync() implementation in the kernel with one exception calls fasync_helper(). So, if we make fasync_helper() set the FASYNC bit, we can avoid making any changes to the other fasync() functions - as long as those functions, themselves, have proper locking. Most fasync() implementations do nothing but call fasync_helper() - which has its own lock - so they are easily verified as correct. The BKL had already been pushed down into the rest. The networking code has its own version of fasync_helper(), so that code has been augmented with explicit FASYNC bit handling.

If DAD fails and accept_dad > 1, we will still set disable_ipv6=1, but then instead of allowing an RA to add an address then immediately fail DAD, we simply don't allow the address to be added in the first place. This also lets the user set this flag and disable all IPv6 addresses on the interface, or on the entire system. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled separately for each field in the message because some of the fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead. User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart and choose what suits its needs. When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket associated with it. The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's start_hard_xmit routine.

The 83xx and 86xx chips don't have a proper cache for this. U-Boot has been updated to add stashing properties to the device tree nodes of gianfar devices on 85xx. So now we modify Linux to keep stashing off unless those properties are there. Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
