[NETLINK]: illegal use of pid in rtnetlink

2006-02-10T00:43:41+00:00

When a netlink message is not related to a netlink socket,
it is issued by kernel socket with pid 0. Netlink "pid" has nothing
to do with current->pid. I called it incorrectly, if it was named "port",
the confusion would be avoided.

[INET_SOCK]: Move struct inet_sock & helper functions to net/inet_sock.h

2006-01-03T21:11:21+00:00

To help in reducing the number of include dependencies, several files were
touched as they were getting needed headers indirectly for stuff they use.

Thanks also to Alan Menegotto for pointing out that net/dccp/proto.c had
linux/dccp.h include twice.

[IPV4]: Fix setting broadcast for SIOCSIFNETMASK

2005-10-26T03:20:21+00:00

Fix setting of the broadcast address when the netmask is set via
SIOCSIFNETMASK in Linux 2.6.  The code wanted the old value of
ifa->ifa_mask but used it after it had already been overwritten with
the new value.

[IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnl

2005-10-03T21:35:55+00:00

The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.

1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().

There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition.  I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

[PATCH] create a kstrdup library function

2005-06-23T16:45:18+00:00

This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local"
implementations in several places to use this function.

Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems.  The sound part
had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S.
Miller.

I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code
carefully before making changes there.

[NETLINK]: Correctly set NLM_F_MULTI without checking the pid

2005-06-19T05:54:12+00:00

This patch rectifies some rtnetlink message builders that derive the
flags from the pid. It is now explicit like the other cases
which get it right. Also fixes half a dozen dumpers which did not
set NLM_F_MULTI at all.
