tipc: Fix initialization sequence problems when entering network mode

2008-05-21T21:55:04Z

This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration service are shut down before switching into "network mode". This ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary "publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully initialized for sending off-node messages. Note that the node's current network address is now updated only after the two services are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.

tipc: Fix skb_under_panic when configuring TIPC without privileges

2008-05-21T21:52:30Z

This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it is issued by a process lacking those privileges. The revised error handling code avoids the use of a potentially uninitialized global variable by transforming the unauthorized command into a new command, then following the standard command processing path to generate the required error message.

tipc: Simplify log buffer resizing

2008-05-05T08:20:04Z

This patch simplifies & standardizes the way TIPC's print buffer log is resized. Code to terminate use of the log buffer is eliminated by simply setting the log buffer size to 0 bytes. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t

2007-04-26T05:26:28Z

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4 64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN... :-) Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network, mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being meaningful as offsets or pointers.

[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls

2006-12-13T17:05:58Z

Run this: #!/bin/sh for f in $(grep -Erl "$[^$]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do echo "De-casting $f..." perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?$[^$]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f done And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers to non-pointers. And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

[TIPC]: Unrecognized configuration command now returns error message

2006-10-19T02:55:23Z

This patch causes TIPC to return an error message when it receives an unrecognized configuration command. (Previously, the sender received no feedback.) Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens Signed-off-by: Per Liden Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] spin/rwlock init cleanups

2006-06-28T00:32:39Z

locking init cleanups: - convert " = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED" to spin_lock_init() or DEFINE_SPINLOCK() - convert rwlocks in a similar manner this patch was generated automatically. Motivation: - cleanliness - lockdep needs control of lock initialization, which the open-coded variants do not give - it's also useful for -rt and for lock debugging in general Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
