2008-08-12docsrc: build Documentation/ sourcesRandy Dunlap
Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code instead of bad examples. Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir. Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol. Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system. However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need to be installed (for userspace builds). Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32, sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.

2008-07-21udplite: Protection against coverage value wrap-aroundGerrit Renker
This patch clamps the cscov setsockopt values to a maximum of 0xFFFF. Setsockopt values greater than 0xffff can cause an unwanted wrap-around. Further, IPv6 jumbograms are not supported (RFC 3838, 3.5), so that values greater than 0xffff are not even useful. Further changes: fixed a typo in the documentation.

2008-06-18bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zeroJay Vosburgh
Permit bonding to function rationally if max_bonds is set to zero. This will load the module, but create no master devices (which can be created via sysfs). Requires some change to bond_create_sysfs; currently, the netdev sysfs directory is determined from the first bonding device created, but this is no longer possible. Instead, an interface from net/core is created to create and destroy files in net_class. Based on a patch submitted by Phil Oester <kernel@linuxaces.com>. Modified by Jay Vosburgh to fix the sysfs issue mentioned above and to update the documentation.

2008-06-18bonding: Rework / fix multiple gratuitous ARP supportJay Vosburgh
Support for sending multiple gratuitous ARPs during failovers was added by commit: commit 7893b2491a2d5f716540ac5643d78d37a7f6628b Author: Moni Shoua <monis@voltaire.com> Date: Sat May 17 21:10:12 2008 -0700 bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave takes over This change modifies that support to remove duplicated code, add support for ARP monitor (the original only supported miimon), clear the grat ARP counter in bond_close (lest a later "ifconfig up" immediately start spewing ARPs), and add documentation for the module parameter.

2008-06-14mac80211_hwsim: 802.11 radio simulator for mac80211Jouni Malinen
mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211 on a single device. It can be used to test most of the mac80211 functionality and user space tools (e.g., hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that matches very closely with the normal case of using real WLAN hardware. From the mac80211 view point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another hardware driver, i.e., no changes to mac80211 are needed to use this testing tool.

2008-05-22bonding: Add "follow" option to fail_over_macJay Vosburgh
Add a "follow" selection for fail_over_mac. This option causes the MAC address to move from slave to slave as the active slave changes. This is in addition to the existing fail_over_mac option that causes the bond's MAC address to change during failover. This new option is useful for devices that cannot tolerate multiple ports using the same MAC address simultaneously, either because it confuses them or incurs a performance penalty (as is the case with some LPAR-aware multiport devices). Because the MAC of the bond itself does not change, the "follow" option is slightly more reliable during failover and doesn't change the MAC of the bond during operation. This patch requires a previous ARP monitor change to properly handle RTNL during failovers. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-04-25phylib: Add support for board-level PHY fixupsAndy Fleming
Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY requires special handling. For instance, to change where the PHY's clock input is, or to add a delay to account for latency issues in the data path. We add a mechanism for registering a callback with the PHY Lib to be called on matching PHYs when they are brought up, or reset.

This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3. Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled via a socket option. Documentation for this socket option has been added. The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.
