ipx: move peII functions

2012-07-19T17:48:00Z

The Ethernet II wrapper is only used by IPX protocol, may have once been used by Appletalk but not currently. Therefore it makes sense to move it to the IPX dust bin and drop the exports. Build tested only. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipx: Remove spurious NULL checking in ipx_ioctl().

2012-05-19T04:51:04Z

We already unconditionally dereference 'sk' via lock_sock(sk) earlier in this function, and our caller (sock_do_ioctl()) makes takes similar liberties. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: delete all instances of special processing for token ring

2012-05-16T00:14:35Z

We are going to delete the Token ring support. This removes any special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring support present but inert. The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate commit, so that the history of these files that we still care about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.

net: Convert all sysctl registrations to register_net_sysctl

2012-04-21T01:22:30Z

This results in code with less boiler plate that is a bit easier to read. Additionally stops us from using compatibility code in the sysctl core, hastening the day when the compatibility code can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Move all of the network sysctls without a namespace into init_net.

2012-04-21T01:21:17Z

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network namespace. This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the initial network namespace in other namespaces. This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to userspace and I can't honestly remember why we didn't do this for sysctls right from the start. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30Z

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence of module.h from everywhere. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

ipx: fix ipx_release()

2011-03-22T01:16:39Z

Commit b0d0d915d1d1a0 (remove the BKL) added a regression, because sock_put() can free memory while we are going to use it later. Fix is to delay sock_put() _after_ release_sock().

ipx: remove the BKL

2011-03-05T09:55:58Z

This replaces all instances of lock_kernel in the IPX code with lock_sock. As far as I can tell, this is safe to do, because there is no global state that needs to be locked in IPX, and the code does not recursively take the lock or sleep indefinitely while holding it. Compile-tested only. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Acked-by: David S. Miller Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org

BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL.

2010-10-21T13:44:13Z

With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do about them, this patch illustrates one of the options: Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig, and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL code itself is compiled out. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann
