[INET]: Let inet_diag and friends autoload

2007-10-22T09:59:54+00:00

By adding module aliases to inet_diag, tcp_diag and dccp_diag, we let
them load automatically as needed. This makes tools like "ss" run
faster.

[NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.

2007-10-10T23:49:07+00:00

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting.  By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched.  In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.

Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.

Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

[AF_RXRPC]: Provide secure RxRPC sockets for use by userspace and kernel both

2007-04-26T22:48:28+00:00

Provide AF_RXRPC sockets that can be used to talk to AFS servers, or serve
answers to AFS clients.  KerberosIV security is fully supported.  The patches
and some example test programs can be found in:

	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/

This will eventually replace the old implementation of kernel-only RxRPC
currently resident in net/rxrpc/.

[NET]: Don't export linux/random.h outside KERNEL.

2006-12-31T22:06:49+00:00

Don't add it there please; add it lower down inside the existing #ifdef
__KERNEL__. You just made the _userspace_ net.h include random.h, which
then fails to compile unless  was already included.

[PATCH] rename net_random to random32

2006-10-17T15:18:43+00:00

Make net_random() more widely available by calling it random32

akpm: hopefully this will permit the removal of carta_random32.  That needs
confirmation from Stephane - this code looks somewhat more computationally
expensive, and has a different (ie: callee-stateful) interface.

[akpm@osdl.org: lots of build fixes, cleanups]

[NET]: sock_register interface changes

2006-09-22T21:54:20+00:00

The sock_register() doesn't change the family, so the protocols can
define it read-only.  No caller ever checks return value from
sock_unregister()

[NET]: Round out in-kernel sockets API

2006-09-22T21:54:05+00:00

This patch implements wrapper functions that provide a convenient way
to access the sockets API for in-kernel users like sunrpc, cifs &
ocfs2 etc and any future users.
