[TCP]: Invoke tcp_sendmsg() directly, do not use inet_sendmsg().

2007-08-03T02:42:28Z

As discovered by Evegniy Polyakov, if we try to sendmsg after a connection reset, we can do incredibly stupid things. The core issue is that inet_sendmsg() tries to autobind the socket, but we should never do that for TCP. Instead we should just go straight into TCP's sendmsg() code which will do all of the necessary state and pending socket error checks. TCP's sendpage already directly vectors to tcp_sendpage(), so this merely brings sendmsg() in line with that. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: IPV6 checksum offloading in network devices

2007-07-11T05:15:52Z

The existing model for checksum offload does not correctly handle devices that can offload IPV4 and IPV6 only. The NETIF_F_HW_CSUM flag implies device can do any arbitrary protocol. This patch: * adds NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM for those devices * fixes bnx2 and tg3 devices that need it * add NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM to ipv6 output (incl GSO) * fixes assumptions about NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM in nat * adjusts bridge union of checksumming computation Signed-off-by: David S.

header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used

2007-05-08T18:15:07Z

Remove includes of where it is not used/needed. Suggested by Al Viro. Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc, sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs). Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[IPV4]: Consolidate common SNMP code

2007-04-26T05:29:51Z

This patch moves the SNMP code shared between IPv4/IPv6 from proc.c into net/ipv4/af_inet.c. This makes sense because these functions aren't specific to /proc. As a result we can again skip proc.o if /proc is disabled. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Acked-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV4] SNMP: Move some statistic bits to net/ipv4/proc.c.

2007-04-26T05:29:12Z

This also fixes memory leak in error path. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: inet_ehash_secret should be __read_mostly and set only once

2007-04-26T05:28:17Z

There is a very tiny probability that build_ehash_secret() is called at the same time by different CPUS. Also, using __read_mostly is a must for inet_ehash_secret Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[INET]: Use jhash + random secret for ehash.

2007-04-26T05:28:06Z

The days are gone when this was not an issue, there are folks out there with huge bot networks that can be used to attack the established hash tables on remote systems. So just like the routing cache and connection tracking hash, use Jenkins hash with random secret input. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_transport_header(skb)

2007-04-26T05:25:15Z

For the common, open coded 'skb->h.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->h.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 cases: skb->h.raw = skb->data; skb->h.raw = {skb_push|[__]skb_pull}() The next ones will handle the slightly more "complex" cases.

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_network_header()

2007-04-26T05:24:59Z

For the places where we need a pointer to the network header, it is still legal to touch skb->nh.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it to another layer header. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
