[REQSK]: Don't reset rskq_defer_accept in reqsk_queue_alloc

2006-02-27T21:30:43Z

In 295f7324ff8d9ea58b4d3ec93b1aaa1d80e048a9 I moved defer_accept from tcp_sock to request_queue and mistakingly reset it at reqsl_queue_alloc, causing calls to setsockopt(TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT ) to be lost after bind, the fix is to remove the zeroing of rskq_defer_accept from reqsl_queue_alloc. Thanks to Alexandra N. Kossovsky for reporting and testing the suggested fix. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETLINK]: illegal use of pid in rtnetlink

2006-02-10T00:43:41Z

When a netlink message is not related to a netlink socket, it is issued by kernel socket with pid 0. Netlink "pid" has nothing to do with current->pid. I called it incorrectly, if it was named "port", the confusion would be avoided. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] percpu data: only iterate over possible CPUs

2006-02-05T19:06:51Z

percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus. As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS loops to use for_each_cpu(). (The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h. powerpc has gone it alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's currently corrupting memory).
