2012-11-03pktgen: clean up ktime_t helpersDaniel Borkmann
Some years ago, the ktime_t helper functions ktime_now() and ktime_lt() have been introduced. Instead of defining them inside pktgen.c, they should either use ktime_t library functions or, if not available, they should be defined in ktime.h, so that also others can benefit from them. ktime_compare() is introduced with a similar notion as in timespec_compare().

2012-10-11pktgen: fix crash when generating IPv6 packetsAmerigo Wang
For IPv6, sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) = 40, thus the following expression will result negative: datalen = pkt_dev->cur_pkt_size - 14 - sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) - sizeof(struct udphdr) - pkt_dev->pkt_overhead; And, the check "if (datalen < sizeof(struct pktgen_hdr))" will be passed as "datalen" is promoted to unsigned, therefore will cause a crash later. This is a quick fix by checking if "datalen" is negative. The following patch will increase the default value of 'min_pkt_size' for IPv6. This bug should exist for a long time, so Cc -stable too.

2011-07-28net: add IFF_SKB_TX_SHARED flag to priv_flagsNeil Horman
Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by some drivers as they keep state information in skbs. This patch adds a flag marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path. Drivers are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can handle shared skbs.

Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather obscure header file dependency. So this fixes things up a bit, using grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]') grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]') to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h> inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

2010-10-28pktgen: Limit how much data we copy onto the stack.Nelson Elhage
A program that accidentally writes too much data to the pktgen file can overflow the kernel stack and oops the machine. This is only triggerable by root, so there's no security issue, but it's still an unfortunate bug. printk() won't print more than 1024 bytes in a single call, anyways, so let's just never copy more than that much data. We're on a fairly shallow stack, so that should be safe even with CONFIG_4KSTACKS. Signed-off-by: Nelson Elhage <nelhage@ksplice.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-10-24pktgen: clean up handling of local/transient counter varsPaul Gortmaker
The temporary variable "i" is needlessly initialized to zero in two distinct cases in this file: 1) where it is set to zero and then used as an argument in an addition before being assigned a non-zero value. 2) where it is only used in a standard/typical loop counter For (1), simply delete assignment to zero and usages while still zero; for (2) simply make the loop start at zero as per standard practice as seen everywhere else in the same file.
