net: count hw_addr syncs so that unsync works properly.

2013-04-05T04:18:46Z

A few drivers use dev_uc_sync/unsync to synchronize the address lists from master down to slave/lower devices. In some cases (bond/team) a single address list is synched down to multiple devices. At the time of unsync, we have a leak in these lower devices, because "synced" is treated as a boolean and the address will not be unsynced for anything after the first device/call. Treat "synced" as a count (same as refcount) and allow all unsync calls to work. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: move procfs code to net/core/net-procfs.c

2013-02-19T05:51:10Z

Similar to net/core/net-sysfs.c, group procfs code to a single unit. Cc: "David S. Miller" Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: proc: change proc_net_remove to remove_proc_entry

2013-02-18T19:53:08Z

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still need to call remove_proc_entry. this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove. we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

net: proc: change proc_net_fops_create to proc_create

2013-02-18T19:53:08Z

Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create. It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove proc_net_fops_create after this patch. Signed-off-by: Gao feng Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: correct check in dev_addr_del()

2012-11-15T22:57:53Z

Check (ha->addr == dev->dev_addr) is always true because dev_addr_init() sets this. Correct the check to behave properly on addr removal. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdev: make address const in device address management

2012-09-19T20:35:22Z

The internal functions for add/deleting addresses don't change their argument. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: addr_list: add exclusive dev_uc_add and dev_mc_add

2012-04-15T17:06:04Z

This adds a dev_uc_add_excl() and dev_mc_add_excl() calls similar to the original dev_{uc|mc}_add() except it sets the global bit and returns -EEXIST for duplicat entires. This is useful for drivers that support SR-IOV, macvlan devices and any other devices that need to manage the unicast and multicast lists. v2: fix typo UNICAST should be MULTICAST in dev_mc_add_excl() CC: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: David S.

net: fix /proc/net/dev regression

2012-04-03T21:23:23Z

Commit f04565ddf52 (dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops) added a second regression, as some devices are missing from /proc/net/dev if many devices are defined. When seq_file buffer is filled, the last ->next/show() method is canceled (pos value is reverted to value prior ->next() call) Problem is after above commit, we dont restart the lookup at right position in ->start() method. Fix this by removing the internal 'pos' pointer added in commit, since we need to use the 'loff_t *pos' provided by seq_file layer. This also reverts commit 5cac98dd0 (net: Fix corruption in /proc/*/net/dev_mcast), since its not needed anymore.

net: introduce netif_addr_lock_nested() and call if when appropriate

2012-01-09T20:46:58Z

dev_uc_sync() and dev_mc_sync() are acquiring netif_addr_lock for destination device of synchronization. Since netif_addr_lock is already held at the time for source device, this triggers lockdep deadlock warning. There's no way this deadlock can happen so use spin_lock_nested() to silence the warning.
