[DECNET]: Handle a failure in neigh_parms_alloc (take 2)

2007-01-25T23:51:51+00:00

While enhancing the neighbour code to handle multiple network
namespaces I noticed that decnet is assuming neigh_parms_alloc
will allways succeed, which is clearly wrong.  So handle the
failure.

[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25+00:00

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

[RTNETLINK]: Add rtnl_put_cacheinfo() to unify some code

2006-12-03T05:30:44+00:00

IPv4, IPv6, and DECNet all use struct rta_cacheinfo in a similiar
way, therefore rtnl_put_cacheinfo() is added to reuse code.

[DECNET] address: Convert to new netlink interface

2006-12-03T05:30:30+00:00

Extends the netlink interface to support the __le16 type and
converts address addition, deletion and, dumping to use the
new netlink interface.

Fixes multiple occasions of possible illegal memory references
due to not validated netlink attributes.
