drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.

2008-11-04T05:11:17Z

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the bonding ARP monitor. Drivers need not do it any more. Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

lapbeth: Release ->ethdev when unregistering device.

2008-05-04T04:10:58Z

Otherwise it leaks forever. Based upon a report by Roland Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET] NETNS: Omit net_device->nd_net without CONFIG_NET_NS.

2008-03-25T19:39:53Z

Introduce per-net_device inlines: dev_net(), dev_net_set(). Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists. Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki

[NET]: Wrap netdevice hardware header creation.

2007-10-10T23:52:50Z

Add inline for common usage of hardware header creation, and fix bug in IPV6 mcast where the assumption about negative return is an errno. Negative return from hard_header means not enough space was available,(ie -N bytes). Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Nuke SET_MODULE_OWNER macro.

2007-10-10T23:51:13Z

It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to remove it. The number of people that could object because they're maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

[NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe

2007-10-10T23:49:09Z

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Make packet reception network namespace safe

2007-10-10T23:49:08Z

This patch modifies every packet receive function registered with dev_add_pack() to drop packets if they are not from the initial network namespace. This should ensure that the various network stacks do not receive packets in a anything but the initial network namespace until the code has been converted and is ready for them.

[NET]: Kill skb->real_dev

2005-08-29T22:32:25Z

Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond() decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original device into packet_type->func() as an argument. It remains to be seen whether we can use this same exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
