      [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace. · 881d966b
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
      namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
      network namespace variable, and then it picks up
      a few associated variables.  The functions:
      dev_getbyhwaddr
      dev_getfirsthwbytype
      dev_get_by_flags
      dev_get_by_name
      __dev_get_by_name
      dev_get_by_index
      __dev_get_by_index
      dev_ioctl
      dev_ethtool
      dev_load
      wireless_process_ioctl
      
      were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
      deal with it.
      
      vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
      hooks will receive a network namespace argument.
      
      So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
      affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
      multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
      simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
      namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
      stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.
      
      For now the ifindex generator is left global.
      
      Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
      we will have corner case problems with migration when
      we get that far.
      
      At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
      that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
      the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
      the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
      you change namespaces, and the like.

      [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace · 457c4cbc
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
      variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
      The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
      and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
      This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
      usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
      has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
      
      Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
      in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
      network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
      that are relevant to a single network namespace.

      [NEIGH]: Netlink notifications · d961db35
      Thomas Graf 提交于
      Currently neighbour event notifications are limited to update
      notifications and only sent if the ARP daemon is enabled. This
      patch extends the existing notification code by also reporting
      neighbours being removed due to gc or administratively and
      removes the dependency on the ARP daemon. This allows to keep
      track of neighbour states without periodically fetching the
      complete neighbour table.

      mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create(). · 20c2df83
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
      c59def9f change. They've been
      BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
      either.
      
      This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
      completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
      about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
      or the documentation references).

      [NET]: Set a separate lockdep class for neighbour table's proxy_queue · c2ecba71
      Pavel Emelianov 提交于
      Otherwise the following calltrace will lead to a wrong
      lockdep warning:
      
        neigh_proxy_process()
          `- lock(neigh_table->proxy_queue.lock);
        arp_redo /* via tbl->proxy_redo */

        neigh_update
        skb_queue_purge
          `- lock(neighbor->arp_queue.lock);
      
      This is not a deadlock actually, as neighbor table's proxy_queue
      and the neighbor's arp_queue are different queues.
      
      Lockdep thinks there is a deadlock as both queues are initialized
      with skb_queue_head_init() and thus have a common class.

      [NET]: Fix neighbour destructor handling. · ecbb4169
      Alexey Kuznetsov 提交于
      ->neigh_destructor() is killed (not used), replaced with
      ->neigh_cleanup(), which is called when neighbor entry goes to dead
      state. At this point everything is still valid: neigh->dev,
      neigh->parms etc.
      
      The device should guarantee that dead neighbor entries (neigh->dead !=
      0) do not get private part initialized, otherwise nobody will cleanup
      it.
      
      I think this is enough for ipoib which is the only user of this thing.
      Initialization private part of neighbor entries happens in ipib
      start_xmit routine, which is not reached when device is down.  But it
      would be better to add explicit test for neigh->dead in any case.

      [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl · 0b4d4147
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
      sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
      pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
      
      I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
      register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
      duplicate sysctl entries.
      
      So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
      the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
      enhancments harder.

      [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h · cd354f1a
      Tim Schmielau 提交于
      After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
      recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
      There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
      anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
      macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
      course of cleaning it up.
      
      To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
      removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
      
      Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
      arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
      allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
      configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
      introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
      by unnecessarily included header files).

      [NET]: user of the jiffies rounding code: Networking · f5a6e01c
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      This patch introduces users of the round_jiffies() function in the
      networking code.
      
      These timers all were of the "about once a second" or "about once
      every X seconds" variety and several showed up in the "what wakes the
      cpu up" profiles that the tickless patches provide.  Some timers are
      highly dynamic based on network load; but even on low activity systems
      they still show up so the rounding is done only in cases of low
      activity, allowing higher frequency timers in the high activity case.
      
      The various hardware watchdogs are an obvious case; they run every 2
      seconds but aren't otherwise specific of exactly when they need to
      run.

      [NETLINK]: Don't BUG on undersized allocations · 26932566
      Patrick McHardy 提交于
      Currently netlink users BUG when the allocated skb for an event
      notification is undersized. While this is certainly a kernel bug,
      its not critical and crashing the kernel is too drastic, especially
      when considering that these errors have appeared multiple times in
      the past and it BUGs even if no listeners are present.
      
      This patch replaces BUG by WARN_ON and changes the notification
      functions to inform potential listeners of undersized allocations
      using a unique error code (EMSGSIZE).
