net: Fix sysctl restarts...

2010-02-19T23:40:50Z

Yuck. It turns out that when we restart sysctls we were restarting with the values already changed. Which unfortunately meant that the second time through we thought there was no change and skipped all kinds of work, despite the fact that there was indeed a change. I have fixed this the simplest way possible by restoring the changed values when we restart the sysctl write. One of my coworkers spotted this bug when after disabling forwarding on an interface pings were still forwarded. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: speedup inet6_dump_addr()

2009-11-14T04:46:57Z

When handling large number of netdevices, inet6_dump_addr() is very slow because it has O(N^2) complexity. Instead of scanning one single list, we can use the NETDEV_HASHENTRIES sub lists of the dev_index hash table, and RCU lookups. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sysctl net: Remove unused binary sysctl code

2009-11-12T10:05:06Z

Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be revmoed. In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not to pass one.

ipv6: Allow inet6_dump_addr() to handle more than 64 addresses

2009-11-11T04:54:42Z

Apparently, inet6_dump_addr() is not able to handle more than 64 ipv6 addresses per device. We must break from inner loops in case skb is full, or else cursor is put at the end of list. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Introduce for_each_netdev_rcu() iterator

2009-11-04T13:43:23Z

Adds RCU management to the list of netdevices. Convert some for_each_netdev() users to RCU version, if it can avoid read_lock-ing dev_base_lock Ie: read_lock(&dev_base_loack); for_each_netdev(net, dev) some_action(); read_unlock(&dev_base_lock); becomes : rcu_read_lock(); for_each_netdev_rcu(net, dev) some_action(); rcu_read_unlock(); Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
