[PACKET]: Don't truncate non-linear skbs with mmaped IO

2006-09-18T06:59:57+00:00

Non-linear skbs are truncated to their linear part with mmaped IO.
Fix by using skb_copy_bits instead of memcpy.

[NET]: Add a dev_ioctl() fallback to sock_ioctl()

2006-01-03T22:18:33+00:00

Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default
fallback in their ioctl implementations.  This patch adds a fallback
to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD.
This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't
need to export dev_ioctl.

[NET]: move struct proto_ops to const

2006-01-03T21:11:15+00:00

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)

This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.

This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)

I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.

This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

[AF_PACKET]: Convert PACKET_MMAP over to vm_insert_page().

2005-12-07T00:38:35+00:00

So we can properly use __GFP_COMP and avoid the use of
PG_reserved pages.

With extremely helpful review from Hugh Dickins.

[NET]: Fix packet timestamping.

2005-10-03T20:57:23+00:00

I've found the problem in general.  It affects any 64-bit
architecture.  The problem occurs when you change the system time.

Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base.  You then wind the clock back
by a day.  From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.

In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.

When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

[AF_PACKET]: Remove bogus checks added to packet_sendmsg().

2005-09-26T22:23:58+00:00

These broke existing apps, and the checks are superfluous
as the values being verified aren't even used.
