2005-06-18[NETLINK] Routing attribute related shortcutsThomas Graf
RTA_GET_U(32|64)(tlv) Assumes TLV is a u32/u64 field and returns its value. RTA_GET_[M]SECS(tlv) Assumes TLV is a u64 and transports jiffies converted to seconds or milliseconds and returns its value. RTA_PUT_U(32|64)(skb, type, value) Appends %value as fixed u32/u64 to %skb as TLV %type. RTA_PUT_[M]SECS(skb, type, jiffies) Converts %jiffies to secs/msecs and appends it as u64 to %skb as TLV %type. RTA_PUT_STRING(skb, type, string) Appends %NUL terminated %string to %skb as TLV %type. RTA_NEST(skb, type) Starts a nested TLV %type and returns the nesting handle. RTA_NEST_END(skb, nesting_handle) Finishes the nested TLV %nesting_handle, must be called symmetric to RTA_NEST(). Returns skb->len RTA_NEST_CANCEL(skb, nesting_handle) Cancel the nested TLV %nesting_handle and trim nested TLV from skb again, returns -1.

2005-06-18[NETLINK]: New message building macrosThomas Graf
NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER(skb, nlcb, type, length) Start a new netlink message as answer to a request, returns the message header. NLMSG_END(skb, nlh) End a netlink message, fixes total message length, returns skb->len. NLMSG_CANCEL(skb, nlh) Cancel the building process and trim whole message from skb again, returns -1.

2005-06-18[NET] Generalise tcp_listen_optArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This chunks out the accept_queue and tcp_listen_opt code and moves them to net/core/request_sock.c and include/net/request_sock.h, to make it useful for other transport protocols, DCCP being the first one to use it. Next patches will rename tcp_listen_opt to accept_sock and remove the inline tcp functions that just call a reqsk_queue_ function.

2005-06-18[NET] Rename open_request to request_sockArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Ok, this one just renames some stuff to have a better namespace and to dissassociate it from TCP: struct open_request -> struct request_sock tcp_openreq_alloc -> reqsk_alloc tcp_openreq_free -> reqsk_free tcp_openreq_fastfree -> __reqsk_free With this most of the infrastructure closely resembles a struct sock methods subset.

2005-06-18[NET] Generalise TCP's struct open_request minisock infrastructureArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to ease peer review. Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn has two new members: ->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep ->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for a specific protocol The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an open_request. I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an or_calltable. Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-) Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g, etc. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-06-13[IPV4]: Sysctl configurable icmp error source address.J. Simonetti
This patch alows you to change the source address of icmp error messages. It applies cleanly to 2.6.11.11 and retains the default behaviour. In the old (default) behaviour icmp error messages are sent with the ip of the exiting interface. The new behaviour (when the sysctl variable is toggled on), it will send the message with the ip of the interface that received the packet that caused the icmp error. This is the behaviour network administrators will expect from a router. It makes debugging complicated network layouts much easier. Also, all 'vendor routers' I know of have the later behaviour.

Great! FWIW I've briefly tested a modified version of usbatm using the list head in struct urb instead of creating a wrapper struct, and I haven't seen any failures yet.

2005-05-28Input:Adrian Bunk
This patch adds dummy gameport_register_port, gameport_unregister_port and gameport_set_phys functions to gameport.h for the case when a driver can't use gameport. This fixes the compilation of some OSS drivers with GAMEPORT=n without the need to #if inside every single driver. This patch also removes the non-working and now obsolete SOUND_GAMEPORT. This patch is also an alternative solution for ALSA drivers with similar problems (but #if's inside the drivers might have the advantage of saving some more bytes of gameport is not available). The only user-visible change is that for GAMEPORT=m the affected OSS drivers are now allowed to be built statically (but they won't have gameport support).
