networking: make skb_push & __skb_push return void pointers

2017-06-16T15:48:40+00:00

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across
the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer
was used directly, all done with the following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };

Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the
more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

networking: make skb_put & friends return void pointers

2017-06-16T15:48:39+00:00

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void *
and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only
where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the
following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;

    @@
    - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
    + E = fn(SKB, LEN)

which actually doesn't cover pskb_put since there are only three
users overall.

A handful of stragglers were converted manually, notably a macro in
drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_bsdcomp.c and, oddly enough, one of the many
instances in net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c. In the former file, I also
had to fix one whitespace problem spatch introduced.

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

net: use core MTU range checking in misc drivers

2016-10-20T18:51:10+00:00

firewire-net:
- set min/max_mtu
- remove fwnet_change_mtu

nes:
- set max_mtu
- clean up nes_netdev_change_mtu

xpnet:
- set min/max_mtu
- remove xpnet_dev_change_mtu

hippi:
- set min/max_mtu
- remove hippi_change_mtu

batman-adv:
- set max_mtu
- remove batadv_interface_change_mtu
- initialization is a little async, not 100% certain that max_mtu is set
  in the optimal place, don't have hardware to test with

rionet:
- set min/max_mtu
- remove rionet_change_mtu

slip:
- set min/max_mtu
- streamline sl_change_mtu

um/net_kern:
- remove pointless ndo_change_mtu

hsi/clients/ssi_protocol:
- use core MTU range checking
- remove now redundant ssip_pn_set_mtu

ipoib:
- set a default max MTU value
- Note: ipoib's actual max MTU can vary, depending on if the device is in
  connected mode or not, so we'll just set the max_mtu value to the max
  possible, and let the ndo_change_mtu function continue to validate any new
  MTU change requests with checks for CM or not. Note that ipoib has no
  min_mtu set, and thus, the network core's mtu > 0 check is the only lower
  bounds here.

mptlan:
- use net core MTU range checking
- remove now redundant mpt_lan_change_mtu

fddi:
- min_mtu = 21, max_mtu = 4470
- remove now redundant fddi_change_mtu (including export)

fjes:
- min_mtu = 8192, max_mtu = 65536
- The max_mtu value is actually one over IP_MAX_MTU here, but the idea is to
  get past the core net MTU range checks so fjes_change_mtu can validate a
  new MTU against what it supports (see fjes_support_mtu in fjes_hw.c)

hsr:
- min_mtu = 0 (calls ether_setup, max_mtu is 1500)

f_phonet:
- min_mtu = 6, max_mtu = 65541

u_ether:
- min_mtu = 14, max_mtu = 15412

phonet/pep-gprs:
- min_mtu = 576, max_mtu = 65530
- remove redundant gprs_set_mtu

net: Kill dev_rebuild_header

Now that there are no more users kill dev_rebuild_header and all of it's
implementations.

This is long overdue.

neigh: use NEIGH_VAR_INIT in ndo_neigh_setup functions.

2014-01-16T19:31:58+00:00

When ndo_neigh_setup is called, the bitfield used by NEIGH_VAR_SET is
not initialized yet. This might cause confusion for the people who use
NEIGH_VAR_SET in ndo_neigh_setup. So rather introduce NEIGH_VAR_INIT for
usage in ndo_neigh_setup.

net: replace macros net_random and net_srandom with direct calls to prandom

2014-01-14T23:15:25+00:00

This patch removes the net_random and net_srandom macros and replaces
them with direct calls to the prandom ones. As new commits only seem to
use prandom_u32 there is no use to keep them around.
This change makes it easier to grep for users of prandom_u32.
