2015-08-10T05:43:52+00:00

This patch fix a double word "the the"
in Documentation/DocBook/networking.xml and
Documentation/DocBook/networking/API-Wimax-report-rfkill-sw.html.

These files are generated from comment in source, so I had to
fix the typo in net/wimax/io-rfkill.c

wimax: remove dead code

2013-11-21T18:09:42+00:00

This removes a code line that is between a "return 0;" and an error label.
This code line can never be reached.

genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse

2013-11-19T21:39:06+00:00

Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with
the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead
of passing the global group ID to the various functions that
send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most
families that's just 0 because the only have one group.

This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new
field for the mcast group ID offset to the family.

At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups
again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now
check that a family only uses a group it owns.

genetlink: pass family to functions using groups

2013-11-19T21:39:06+00:00

This doesn't really change anything, but prepares for the
next patch that will change the APIs to pass the group ID
within the family, rather than the global group ID.

genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops()

2013-11-19T21:39:05+00:00

As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops()
a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the
macro, this is a little safer.

The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in
that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the
family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and
code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

genetlink: make all genl_ops users const

2013-11-14T22:10:41+00:00

Now that genl_ops are no longer modified in place when
registering, they can be made const. This patch was done
mostly with spatch:

@@
identifier ops;
@@
+const
 struct genl_ops ops[] = {
 ...
 };

(except the struct thing in net/openvswitch/datapath.c)

wimax: use genl_register_family_with_ops()

2013-11-14T22:10:40+00:00

This simplifies the code since there's no longer a need to
have error handling in the registration.

Unfortunately it means more extern function declarations are
needed, but the overall goal would seem to justify this.

Due to the removal of duplication in the netlink policies,
this reduces the size of wimax by almost 1k.

net: misc: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-10-19T23:12:11+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

net: cleanup unsigned to unsigned int

Use of "unsigned int" is preferred to bare "unsigned" in net tree.
