decnet: Move rtm_dn_policy to dn_route to make it available if !CONFIG_DECNET_ROUTER

2013-03-22T16:51:59+00:00

Otherwise build fails with CONFIG_DECNET && !CONFIG_DECNET_ROUTER

rtnetlink: Remove passing of attributes into rtnl_doit functions

2013-03-22T14:31:16+00:00

With decnet converted, we can finally get rid of rta_buf and its
computations around it. It also gets rid of the minimal header
length verification since all message handlers do that explicitly
anyway.

decnet: Parse netlink attributes on our own

2013-03-22T14:31:16+00:00

decnet is the only subsystem left that is relying on the global
netlink attribute buffer rta_buf. It's horrible design and we
want to get rid of it.

This converts all of decnet to do implicit attribute parsing. It
also gets rid of the error prone struct dn_kern_rta.

Yes, the fib_magic() stuff is not pretty.

It's compiled tested but I need someone with appropriate hardware
to test the patch since I don't have access to it.

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.

decnet: use correct RCU API to deref sk_dst_cache field

2013-01-28T05:15:27+00:00

sock->sk_dst_cache is protected by RCU, therefore we should
use __sk_dst_get() to deref it once we lock the sock.

This fixes several sparse warnings.

netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion

2012-09-10T19:30:41+00:00

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

net: Loopback ifindex is constant now

2012-08-09T23:18:07+00:00

As pointed out, there are places, that access net->loopback_dev->ifindex
and after ifindex generation is made per-net this value becomes constant
equals 1. So go ahead and introduce the LOOPBACK_IFINDEX constant and use
it where appropriate.

decnet: Don't set RTCF_DIRECTSRC.

2012-07-23T20:16:59+00:00

It's an ipv4 defined route flag, and only ipv4 uses it.

net: Document dst->obsolete better.

2012-07-20T20:31:21+00:00

Add a big comment explaining how the field works, and use defines
instead of magic constants for the values assigned to it.
