net/802/mrp: fix lockdep splat

2013-05-14T20:02:30+00:00

commit fb745e9a037895 ("net/802/mrp: fix possible race condition when
calling mrp_pdu_queue()") introduced a lockdep splat.

[   19.735147] =================================
[   19.735235] [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
[   19.735324] 3.9.2-build-0063 #4 Not tainted
[   19.735412] ---------------------------------
[   19.735500] inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} -> {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} usage.
[   19.735592] rmmod/1840 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes:
[   19.735682]  (&(&app->lock)->rlock#2){+.?...}, at: []
mrp_uninit_applicant+0x69/0xba [mrp]

app->lock is normally taken under softirq context, so disable BH to
avoid the splat.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

net/802/mrp: fix possible race condition when calling mrp_pdu_queue()

2013-04-12T19:10:48+00:00

(Adapted from a very similar change to net/802/garp.c by Cong Wang.)

mrp_pdu_queue() should ways be called with the applicant spin lock.
mrp_uninit_applicant() only holds the rtnl lock which is not enough;
a race is possible because mrp_rcv() is called in BH context:

	mrp_rcv()
	  |->mrp_pdu_parse_msg()
	    |->mrp_pdu_parse_vecattr()
	      |->mrp_pdu_parse_vecattr_event()
	        |-> mrp_attr_event()
	          |-> mrp_pdu_append_vecattr_event()
	            |-> mrp_pdu_queue()

802: fix a possible race condition

2013-04-07T21:04:17+00:00

(Resend with a better changelog)

garp_pdu_queue() should ways be called with this spin lock.
garp_uninit_applicant() only holds rtnl lock which is not
enough here.  A possible race can happen as garp_pdu_rcv()
is called in BH context:

	garp_pdu_rcv()
	  |->garp_pdu_parse_msg()
	    |->garp_pdu_parse_attr()
	      |-> garp_gid_event()

Found by code inspection.

tokenring: delete all remaining driver support

2012-05-16T00:23:16+00:00

This represents the mass deletion of the of the tokenring support.

It gets rid of:
  - the net/tr.c which the drivers depended on
  - the drivers/net component
  - the Kbuild infrastructure around it
  - any tokenring related CONFIG_ settings in any defconfigs
  - the tokenring headers in the include/linux dir
  - the firmware associated with the tokenring drivers.
  - any associated token ring documentation.

net: delete all instances of special processing for token ring

2012-05-16T00:14:35+00:00

We are going to delete the Token ring support.  This removes any
special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside
from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring
support present but inert.

The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate
commit, so that the history of these files that we still care
about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.

802: Convert compare_ether_addr to ether_addr_equal

2012-05-10T00:49:17+00:00

Use the new bool function ether_addr_equal to add
some clarity and reduce the likelihood for misuse
of compare_ether_addr for sorting.

net: Convert all sysctl registrations to register_net_sysctl

2012-04-21T01:22:30+00:00

This results in code with less boiler plate that is a bit easier
to read.

Additionally stops us from using compatibility code in the sysctl
core, hastening the day when the compatibility code can be removed.
