2010-05-31arp_notify: allow drivers to explicitly request a notification event.Ian Campbell
Currently such notifications are only generated when the device comes up or the address changes. However one use case for these notifications is to enable faster network recovery after a virtual machine migration (by causing switches to relearn their MAC tables). A migration appears to the network stack as a temporary loss of carrier and therefore does not trigger either of the current conditions. Rather than adding carrier up as a trigger (which can cause issues when interfaces a flapping) simply add an interface which the driver can use to explicitly trigger the notification.

2010-05-31caif: cleanup: remove duplicate checksDan Carpenter
"phyinfo" can never be null here because we assigned it an address, so I removed both the assert and the second check inside the if statement. I removed the "phyinfo->phy_layer != NULL" check as well because that was asserted earlier. Walter Harms suggested I move the "phyinfo->phy_ref_count++;" outside the if condition for readability, so I have done that.

2010-05-31caif: remove unneeded null check in caif_connect()Dan Carpenter
We already dereferenced uaddr towards the start of the function when we checked that "uaddr->sa_family != AF_CAIF". Both the check here and the earlier check were added in bece7b2398d0: "caif: Rewritten socket implementation". Before that patch, we assumed that we recieved a valid pointer for uaddr, and based on that, I have removed this check.

2010-05-27net: fix lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bhEric Dumazet
This new sock lock primitive was introduced to speedup some user context socket manipulation. But it is unsafe to protect two threads, one using regular lock_sock/release_sock, one using lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bh This patch changes lock_sock_bh to be careful against 'owned' state. If owned is found to be set, we must take the slow path. lock_sock_bh() now returns a boolean to say if the slow path was taken, and this boolean is used at unlock_sock_bh time to call the appropriate unlock function. After this change, BH are either disabled or enabled during the lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bh protected section. This might be misleading, so we rename these functions to lock_sock_fast()/unlock_sock_fast().

2010-05-24cls_cgroup: Store classid in struct sockHerbert Xu
Up until now cls_cgroup has relied on fetching the classid out of the current executing thread. This runs into trouble when a packet processing is delayed in which case it may execute out of another thread's context. Furthermore, even when a packet is not delayed we may fail to classify it if soft IRQs have been disabled, because this scenario is indistinguishable from one where a packet unrelated to the current thread is processed by a real soft IRQ. In fact, the current semantics is inherently broken, as a single skb may be constructed out of the writes of two different tasks. A different manifestation of this problem is when the TCP stack transmits in response of an incoming ACK. This is currently unclassified. As we already have a concept of packet ownership for accounting purposes in the skb->sk pointer, this is a natural place to store the classid in a persistent manner. This patch adds the cls_cgroup classid in struct sock, filling up an existing hole on 64-bit :) The value is set at socket creation time. So all sockets created via socket(2) automatically gains the ID of the thread creating it. Whenever another process touches the socket by either reading or writing to it, we will change the socket classid to that of the process if it has a valid (non-zero) classid. For sockets created on inbound connections through accept(2), we inherit the classid of the original listening socket through sk_clone, possibly preceding the actual accept(2) call. In order to minimise risks, I have not made this the authoritative classid. For now it is only used as a backup when we execute with soft IRQs disabled. Once we're completely happy with its semantics we can use it as the sole classid. Footnote: I have rearranged the error path on cls_group module creation. If we didn't do this, then there is a window where someone could create a tc rule using cls_group before the cgroup subsystem has been registered.

the commit: commit d90310243fd750240755e217c5faa13e24f41536 Author: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Date: Wed Nov 18 02:36:59 2009 +0000 net: device name allocation cleanups introduced a bug when there is a hash collision making impossible to rename a device with eth%d. This bug is very hard to reproduce and appears rarely. The problem is coming from we don't pass a temporary buffer to __dev_alloc_name but 'dev->name' which is modified by the function.
