2009-07-27NET: ROSE: Don't use static buffer.Ralf Baechle
The use of a static buffer in rose2asc() to return its result is not threadproof and can result in corruption if multiple threads are trying to use one of the procfs files based on rose2asc(). Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-06-18rose: improving AX25 routing frames via ROSE networkBernard Pidoux
ROSE network is organized through nodes connected via hamradio or Internet. AX25 packet radio frames sent to a remote ROSE address destination are routed through these nodes. Without the present patch, automatic routing mechanism did not work optimally due to an improper parameter checking. rose_get_neigh() function is called either by rose_connect() or by rose_route_frame(). In the case of a call from rose_connect(), f0 timer is checked to find if a connection is already pending. In that case it returns the address of the neighbour, or returns a NULL otherwise. When called by rose_route_frame() the purpose was to route a packet AX25 frame through an adjacent node given a destination rose address. However, in that case, t0 timer checked does not indicate if the adjacent node is actually connected even if the timer is not null. Thus, for each frame sent, the function often tried to start a new connexion even if the adjacent node was already connected. The patch adds a "new" parameter that is true when the function is called by rose route_frame(). This instructs rose_get_neigh() to check node parameter "restarted". If restarted is true it means that the route to the destination address is opened via a neighbour node already connected. If "restarted" is false the function returns a NULL. In that case the calling function will initiate a new connection as before. This results in a fast routing of frames, from nodes to nodes, until destination is reached, as originaly specified by ROSE protocole.

2007-10-08[ROSE]: Fix rose.ko oops on unloadAlexey Dobriyan
Commit a3d384029aa304f8f3f5355d35f0ae274454f7cd aka "[AX.25]: Fix unchecked rose_add_loopback_neigh uses" transformed rose_loopback_neigh var into statically allocated one. However, on unload it will be kfree's which can't work.

2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 1Arjan van de Ven
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.

2006-12-18[AX.25]: Fix unchecked rose_add_loopback_neigh usesRalf Baechle
rose_add_loopback_neigh uses kmalloc and the callers were ignoring the error value. Rewrite to let the caller deal with the allocation. This allows the use of static allocation of kmalloc use entirely. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-12-18[AX.25]: Mark all kmalloc users __must_checkRalf Baechle
The recent fix 0506d4068bad834aab1141b5dc5e748eb175c6b3 made obvious that error values were not being propagated through the AX.25 stack. To help with that this patch marks all kmalloc users in the AX.25, NETROM and ROSE stacks as __must_check. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
