[TCP]: Allow minimum RTO to be configurable via routing metrics.

2007-08-31T05:10:28Z

Cell phone networks do link layer retransmissions and other things that cause unnecessary timeout retransmits. So allow the minimum RTO to be inflated per-route to deal with this. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[RTNETLINK]: Add nested compat attribute

2007-07-11T05:15:39Z

Add a nested compat attribute type that can be used to convert attributes that contain a structure to nested attributes in a backwards compatible way. The attribute looks like this: struct { [ compat contents ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = total size, .rta_type = type, } rta; struct old_structure struct; [ nested top-level attribute ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = nest size, .rta_type = type, } nest_attr; [ optional 0 .. n nested attributes ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = private attribute len, .rta_type = private attribute typ, } nested_attr; struct nested_data data; }; Since both userspace and kernel deal correctly with attributes that are larger than expected old versions will just parse the compat part and ignore the rest.

[RTNL]: Message handler registration interface

2007-04-26T05:27:04Z

This patch adds a new interface to register rtnetlink message handlers replacing the exported rtnl_links[] array which required many message handlers to be exported unnecessarly. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t

2007-04-26T05:26:28Z

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4 64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN... :-) Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network, mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being meaningful as offsets or pointers.

[NETLINK]: Restore API compatibility of address and neighbour bits

2006-12-09T01:19:27Z

Restore API compatibility due to bits moved from rtnetlink.h to separate headers. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[RTNETLINK]: Add rtnl_put_cacheinfo() to unify some code

2006-12-03T05:30:44Z

IPv4, IPv6, and DECNet all use struct rta_cacheinfo in a similiar way, therefore rtnl_put_cacheinfo() is added to reuse code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPv6] prefix: Convert RTM_NEWPREFIX notifications to use the new netlink api

2006-12-03T05:22:45Z

RTM_GETPREFIX is completely unused and is thus removed. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Move netlink interface bits to linux/if_link.h.

2006-09-29T01:02:50Z

Moving netlink interface bits to linux/if.h is rather troublesome for applications including both linux/if.h (which was changed to be included from linux/rtnetlink.h automatically) and net/if.h. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
