net: Allow accepted sockets to be bound to l3mdev domain

2015-12-18T19:43:38Z

Allow accepted sockets to derive their sk_bound_dev_if setting from the l3mdev domain in which the packets originated. A sysctl setting is added to control the behavior which is similar to sk_mark and sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept. This effectively allow a process to have a "VRF-global" listen socket, with child sockets bound to the VRF device in which the packet originated. A similar behavior can be achieved using sk_mark, but a solution using marks is incomplete as it does not handle duplicate addresses in different L3 domains/VRFs. Allowing sockets to inherit the sk_bound_dev_if from l3mdev domain provides a complete solution. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: sctp: dynamically enable or disable pf state

2015-12-16T15:56:50Z

As we all know, the value of pf_retrans >= max_retrans_path can disable pf state. The variables of pf_retrans and max_retrans_path can be changed by the userspace application. Sometimes the user expects to disable pf state while the 2 variables are changed to enable pf state. So it is necessary to introduce a new variable to disable pf state. According to the suggestions from Vlad Yasevich, extra1 and extra2 are removed. The initialization of pf_enable is added.

can-doc: Add hint about getting timestamps

2015-12-10T18:29:11Z

This patch adds a hint about how to get timestamps of received CAN frames with ioctl(2). This hint has been applied to the former SocketCAN Documentation, but it got lost during mainlining the first bits and pieces to linux kernel. Signed-off-by: Stefan Tatschner Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

e100.txt: Cleanup license info in kernel doc

2015-12-03T20:58:10Z

Apparently the e100.txt document contained a "License" section left over from days of old, which does not need to be in the kernel documentation. So clean it up.. CC: John Ronciak Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Tested-by: Aaron Brown
