[NET]: Rework dev_base via list_head (v3)

2007-05-03T22:13:45+00:00

Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device
list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable
and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev
loop. A few most complicated places were converted to using
first_netdev()/next_netdev().

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_copy_to_linear_data{_offset}

2007-04-26T05:28:29+00:00

To clearly state the intent of copying to linear sk_buffs, _offset being a
overly long variant but interesting for the sake of saving some bytes.

[SK_BUFF]: More skb_put related conversions to skb_reset_transport_header

2007-04-26T05:25:59+00:00

This is similar to the skb_reset_network_header(), i.e. at the point we reset
the transport header pointer/offset skb->tail is equal to skb->data.

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_transport_header(skb)

2007-04-26T05:25:15+00:00

For the common, open coded 'skb->h.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->h.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.

This one touches just the most simple cases:

skb->h.raw = skb->data;
skb->h.raw = {skb_push|[__]skb_pull}()

The next ones will handle the slightly more "complex" cases.

[NET]: Introduce SIOCGSTAMPNS ioctl to get timestamps with nanosec resolution

2007-04-26T05:24:04+00:00

Now network timestamps use ktime_t infrastructure, we can add a new
ioctl() SIOCGSTAMPNS command to get timestamps in 'struct timespec'.
User programs can thus access to nanosecond resolution.

[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl

2007-02-14T16:09:59+00:00

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.
