[PPP]: Fixed hardware RX checksum handling

2006-02-06T04:23:33+00:00

When we pull the PPP protocol off the skb, we forgot to update the
hardware RX checksum.  This may lead to messages such as

	dsl0: hw csum failure.

Similarly, we need to clear the hardware checksum flag when we use
the existing packet to store the decompressed result.

[NET]: Validate socket filters against BPF_MAXINSNS in one spot.

2005-12-27T21:57:59+00:00

Currently the checks are scattered all over and this leads
to inconsistencies and even cases where the check is not made.

Based upon a patch from Kris Katterjohn.

[PPP]: add PPP MPPE encryption module

2005-11-08T17:40:47+00:00

From: Matt Domsch 

The patch below implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption method
as a PPP compressor/decompressor.  This is necessary for Linux clients and
servers to interoperate with Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) servers (either Microsoft PPTP servers or the poptop project) which
use MPPE to encrypt data when creating a VPN.

This patch differs from the kernel_ppp_mppe DKMS pacakge at
pptpclient.sourceforge.net by utilizing the kernel crypto routines rather
than providing its own SHA1 and arcfour implementations.

Minor changes to ppp_generic.c try to prevent a link from disabling
compression (in our case, the encryption) after it has started using
compression (encryption).

Feedback to  please.

[PATCH] Driver Core: fix up all callers of class_device_create()

2005-10-28T16:52:52+00:00

The previous patch adding the ability to nest struct class_device
changed the paramaters to the call class_device_create().  This patch
fixes up all in-kernel users of the function.

[NET]: Remove explicit initializations of skb->input_dev

2005-08-29T22:33:26+00:00

Instead, set it in one place, namely the beginning of
netif_receive_skb().

Based upon suggestions from Jamal Hadi Salim.

[NET]: Transform skb_queue_len() binary tests into skb_queue_empty()

2005-07-08T21:57:23+00:00

This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.

Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

[PATCH] PPP multilink fragmentation improvements

2005-05-12T23:47:12+00:00

  
  Here's a patch for -mm for now.  Not sure whose territory this falls
  in, so I'm sending it to everyone I can think of. :)
  
  Some time ago I did some experiments with using PPP multilink over
  largish numbers of channels (up to 32).  The TCP performance was
  woeful due to wildly fluctuating packet latencies, which turned out to
  be because we would sometimes split a packet across all 32 channels,
  and sometimes we would send a whole packet down a single channel.
  
  This patch fixes those problems by being a bit cleverer about how the
  packets are split across the available channels, and in particular, it
  waits until at least half of the channels can take another fragment
  before starting to split up the next packet.
  
  The patch also fixes a buglet in the multilink reconstruction code
  where it would discard incoming packets that had just the multilink
  header and no data.  Such packets are valid and shouldn't be
  discarded.

[PPP]: remove redundant NULL pointer checks before kfree & vfree

2005-05-03T21:38:09+00:00

kfree() and vfree() can both deal with NULL pointers. This patch removes 
redundant NULL pointer checks from the ppp code in drivers/net/
