atm: fix const assignment/discard warnings in the ATM networking driver

2008-07-30T23:31:46Z

Fix const assignment/discard warnings in the ATM networking driver. The lane2_assoc_ind() function needed its arguments changing to match changes in the lane2_ops struct (patch 61c33e012964ce358b42d2a1e9cd309af5dab02b "atm: use const where reasonable").

netns: Use net_eq() to compare net-namespaces for optimization.

2008-07-20T05:34:43Z

Without CONFIG_NET_NS, namespace is always &init_net. Compiler will be able to omit namespace comparisons with this patch. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki 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

[ATM]: Check IP header validity in mpc_send_packet

2008-01-09T11:51:59Z

Al went through the ip_fast_csum callers and found this piece of code that did not validate the IP header. While root crashing the machine by sending bogus packets through raw or AF_PACKET sockets isn't that serious, it is still nice to react gracefully. This patch ensures that the skb has enough data for an IP header and that the header length field is valid. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.

2007-10-10T23:49:10Z

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

[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

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_copy_to_linear_data{_offset}

2007-04-26T05:28:29Z

To clearly state the intent of copying to linear sk_buffs, _offset being a overly long variant but interesting for the sake of saving some bytes. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_network_header(skb)

2007-04-26T05:24:46Z

For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit. This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more "complex" cases. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
