connector: Added coredumping event to the process connector

2013-03-20T17:23:21+00:00

Process connector can now also detect coredumping events.

Main aim of patch is get notified at start of coredumping, instead of
having to wait for it to finish and then being notified through EXIT
event.

Could be used for instance by process-managers that want to get
notified as soon as possible about process failures, and not
necessarily beeing notified after coredump, which could be in the
order of minutes depending on size of coredump, piping and so on.

proc connector: reject unprivileged listener bumps

2013-02-27T18:08:35+00:00

While PROC_CN_MCAST_LISTEN/IGNORE is entirely advisory, it was possible
for an unprivileged user to turn off notifications for all listeners by
sending PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE. Instead, require the same privileges as
required for a multicast bind.

net: proc: change proc_net_remove to remove_proc_entry

2013-02-18T19:53:08+00:00

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries
that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
need to call remove_proc_entry.

this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.
we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

net: proc: change proc_net_fops_create to proc_create

2013-02-18T19:53:08+00:00

Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create
to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules
such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create.

It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of
proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove
proc_net_fops_create after this patch.

Drivers: misc: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:16+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

2012-10-02T20:38:27+00:00

Pull networking changes from David Miller:

 1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.

 2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.

 3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.

 4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.

 5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.

 6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.

 7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
    Borkmann.

 8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
    outgoing networking traffic.  This benefits processes that have very
    many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.

    From Eric Dumazet.

10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
    smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail.  Benefits are
    a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
    allocator c) less waste of space.

    From Eric Dumazet.

11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.

12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
    limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
    From Stephen Hemminger.

13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
    perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.

Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
namespace changes.

netlink: hide struct module parameter in netlink_kernel_create

2012-09-08T22:46:30+00:00

This patch defines netlink_kernel_create as a wrapper function of
__netlink_kernel_create to hide the struct module *me parameter
(which seems to be THIS_MODULE in all existing netlink subsystems).

userns: Convert process event connector to handle kuids and kgids

2012-09-07T02:37:10+00:00

- Only allow asking for events from the initial user and pid namespace,
  where we generate the events in.

- Convert kuids and kgids into the initial user namespace to report
  them via the process event connector.
