* [NET]: Remove more unneeded typecasts on *malloc()Kris Katterjohn2006-01-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | This removes more unneeded casts on the return value for kmalloc(), sock_kmalloc(), and vmalloc(). Signed-off-by: Kris Katterjohn <kjak@users.sourceforge.net> Acked-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: Add a dev_ioctl() fallback to sock_ioctl()Christoph Hellwig2006-01-031-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | 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]: restructure sock_aio_{read,write} / sock_{readv,writev}Christoph Hellwig2006-01-031-114/+110
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mid-term I plan to restructure the file_operations so that we don't need to have all these duplicate aio and vectored versions. This patch is a small step in that direction but also a worthwile cleanup on it's own: (1) introduce a alloc_sock_iocb helper that encapsulates allocating a proper sock_iocb (2) add do_sock_read and do_sock_write helpers for common read/write code Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET]: Fix sock_init() return value.David S. Miller2006-01-031-0/+2
| | | | | | | | It needs to return zero now that it is an initcall. Also, net/nonet.c no longer needs a dummy sock_init(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: Small cleanup to socket initializationAndi Kleen2006-01-031-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | sock_init can be done as a core_initcall instead of calling it directly in init/main.c Also I removed an out of date #ifdef. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: Fix module reference counts for loadable protocol modulesFrank Filz2005-09-281-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have been experimenting with loadable protocol modules, and ran into several issues with module reference counting. The first issue was that __module_get failed at the BUG_ON check at the top of the routine (checking that my module reference count was not zero) when I created the first socket. When sk_alloc() is called, my module reference count was still 0. When I looked at why sctp didn't have this problem, I discovered that sctp creates a control socket during module init (when the module ref count is not 0), which keeps the reference count non-zero. This section has been updated to address the point Stephen raised about checking the return value of try_module_get(). The next problem arose when my socket init routine returned an error. This resulted in my module reference count being decremented below 0. My socket ops->release routine was also being called. The issue here is that sock_release() calls the ops->release routine and decrements the ref count if sock->ops is not NULL. Since the socket probably didn't get correctly initialized, this should not be done, so we will set sock->ops to NULL because we will not call try_module_get(). While searching for another bug, I also noticed that sys_accept() has a possibility of doing a module_put() when it did not do an __module_get so I re-ordered the call to security_socket_accept().

* [NET]: Make sure ctl buffer is aligned properly in sys_sendmsg().Alex Williamson2005-09-261-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | It's on the stack and declared as "unsigned char[]", but pointers and similar can be in here thus we need to give it an explicit alignment attribute.

* [PATCH] Fix 32bit sendmsg() flawAl Viro2005-09-081-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we copy 32bit ->msg_control contents to kernel, we walk the same userland data twice without sanity checks on the second pass. Second version of this patch: the original broke with 64-bit arches running 32-bit-compat-mode executables doing sendmsg() syscalls with unaligned CMSG data areas Another thing is that we use kmalloc() to allocate and sock_kfree_s() to free afterwards; less serious, but also needs fixing.

* [NET]: Use file->private_data to get socket pointer.Eric Dumazet2005-09-061-11/+11
| | | | | | | | Avoid touching file->f_dentry on sockets, since file->private_data directly gives us the socket pointer. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: use __read_mostly on kmem_cache_t , DEFINE_SNMP_STAT pointersEric Dumazet2005-08-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section (read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without memory ping pongs. On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a reload.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-171-0/+2088
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
