[BRIDGE]: Packets leaking out of disabled/blocked ports.

2007-08-31T05:15:35Z

This patch fixes some packet leakage in bridge. The bridging code was allowing forward table entries to be generated even if a device was being blocked. The fix is to not add forwarding database entries unless the port is active. The bug arose as part of the conversion to processing STP frames through normal receive path (in 2.6.17).

mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().

2007-07-20T01:11:58Z

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

[BRIDGE]: Reduce frequency of forwarding cleanup timer in bridge.

2007-05-31T08:23:38Z

The bridge cleanup timer is fired 10 times a second for timers that are at least 15 seconds ahead in time and that are not critical to be cleaned asap. This patch calculates the next time to run the timer as the minimum of all timers or a minimum based on the current state.

bridge: add sysfs hook to flush forwarding table

2007-04-26T05:28:47Z

The RSTP daemon needs to be able to flush all dynamic forwarding entries in the case of topology change. This is a temporary interface. It will change to a netlink interface before RSTP daemon is officially released. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

bridge: simpler hash with salt

2007-04-26T05:28:46Z

Instead of hashing the whole Ethernet address, it should be faster to just use the last 4 bytes. Add a random salt value to the hash to make it more difficult to construct worst case DoS hash chains. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

[BRIDGE]: Fix fdb RCU race

2007-03-22T19:25:20Z

br_fdb_get use atomic_inc to increase the refcount of an element found on a RCU protected list, which can lead to the following race: CPU0 CPU1 br_fdb_get: rcu_read_lock __br_fdb_get: find element fdb_delete: hlist_del_rcu br_fdb_put br_fdb_put: atomic_dec_and_test call_rcu(fdb_rcu_free) br_fdb_get: atomic_inc rcu_read_unlock fdb_rcu_free: kmem_cache_free Use atomic_inc_not_zero instead.

[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25Z

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
