net: reintroduce missing rcu_assign_pointer() calls

2012-02-03T17:22:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit cf778b00e96df6d64f8e21b8395d1f8a859ecdc7 ]

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).

We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.

decnet: proper socket refcounting

2011-11-26T20:49:07+00:00

Better use sk_reset_timer() / sk_stop_timer() helpers to make sure we
dont access already freed/reused memory later.

net: Move mtu handling down to the protocol depended handlers

2011-11-26T19:29:51+00:00

We move all mtu handling from dst_mtu() down to the protocol
layer. So each protocol can implement the mtu handling in
a different manner.

net: Rename the dst_opt default_mtu method to mtu

2011-11-26T19:29:50+00:00

We plan to invoke the dst_opt->default_mtu() method unconditioally
from dst_mtu(). So rename the method to dst_opt->mtu() to match
the name with the new meaning.

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
of module.h from everywhere.

rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER

2011-08-02T11:29:23+00:00

When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier
is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon
change to not handle the special case.

Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value.

//smpl
@@ expression P; @@

- rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL)
+ RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL)

//

net: Add ->neigh_lookup() operation to dst_ops

2011-07-18T07:40:17+00:00

In the future dst entries will be neigh-less.  In that environment we
need to have an easy transition point for current users of
dst->neighbour outside of the packet output fast path.

neigh: Pass neighbour entry to output ops.

2011-07-18T06:11:17+00:00

This will get us closer to being able to do "neigh stuff"
completely independent of the underlying dst_entry for
protocols (ipv4/ipv6) that wish to do so.

We will also be able to make dst entries neigh-less.
