[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 7

2007-02-12T17:48:46Z

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[NET]: Memory barrier cleanups

2006-12-07T08:11:33Z

I believe all the below memory barriers only matter on SMP so therefore the smp_* variant of the barrier should be used. I'm wondering if the barrier in net/ipv4/inet_timewait_sock.c should be dropped entirely. schedule_work's implementation currently implies a memory barrier and I think sane semantics of schedule_work() should imply a memory barrier, as needed so the caller shouldn't have to worry. It's not quite obvious why the barrier in net/packet/af_packet.c is needed; maybe it should be implied through flush_dcache_page? Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] wireless: WE-20 compatibility for ESSID and NICKN ioctls

2006-10-19T21:08:19Z

WE-21 changed the ABI for the SIOC[SG]IW{ESSID,NICKN} ioctls by dropping NULL termination. This patch adds compatibility code so that WE-21 can work properly with WE-20 (and older) tools. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] WE-21 support (core API)

2006-09-25T20:52:14Z

This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog : o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1) o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more o long/short retry This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean Tourrilhes. I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor). CC: Jean Tourrilhes Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] Send wireless netlink events with a clean slate

2006-08-04T18:57:19Z

Drivers expect to be able to call wireless_send_event in arbitrary contexts. On the other hand, netlink really doesn't like being invoked in an IRQ context. So we need to postpone the sending of netlink skb's to a tasklet. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] wext: Fix RtNetlink ENCODE security permissions

2006-04-19T21:25:41Z

I've just realised that the RtNetlink code does not check the permission for SIOCGIWENCODE and SIOCGIWENCODEEXT, which means that any user can read the encryption keys. The fix is trivial and should go in 2.6.17 alonside the two other patch I sent you last week. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
