2008-11-12net: Introduce read_pnet() and write_pnet() helpersEric Dumazet
This patch introduces two helpers that deal with reading and writing struct net pointers in various network structures. Their implementation depends on CONFIG_NET_NS For symmetry, both functions work with "struct net **pnet". Their usage should reduce the number of #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS, without adding many helpers for each network structure that hold a "struct net *pointer" Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-11-12dccp: Resolve dependencies of features on choice of CCIDGerrit Renker
This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of). For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows: * since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection; * a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4); * for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment in the source code. An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature, since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option, as it is used by the CCID3 code. Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID. The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has made all other registrations for changing default values of features. The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0' is used to mark the end of the table.

2008-11-12dccp: Query supported CCIDsGerrit Renker
This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported and three accessor functions: - a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests made by the user; - a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation; - documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities. The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices). Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.

2008-11-12dccp: Registration routines for changing feature valuesGerrit Renker
Two registration routines, for SP and NN features, are provided by this patch, replacing a previous routine which was used for both feature types. These are internal-only routines and therefore start with `__feat_register'. It further exports the known limits of Sequence Window and Ack Ratio as symbolic constants.

2008-11-12dccp: Limit feature negotiation to connection setup phaseGerrit Renker
This patch limits feature (capability) negotation to the connection setup phase: 1. Although it is theoretically possible to perform feature negotiation at any time (and RFC 4340 supports this), in practice this is prohibitively complex, as it requires to put traffic on hold for each new negotiation. 2. As a byproduct of restricting feature negotiation to connection setup, the feature-negotiation retransmit timer is no longer required. This part is now mapped onto the protocol-level retransmission. Details indicating why timers are no longer needed can be found on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/feature_negotiation/\ implementation_notes.html This patch disables anytime negotiation, subsequent patches work out full feature negotiation support for connection setup.

2008-11-11V4L/DVB (9492): unplug oops from dvb_frontend_init...Daniel J Blueman
When inadvertently hot-unplugging a WT-220U USB DVB-T receiver with 2.6.24, I was met with an oops [1]. The problem is relevant to 2.6.25/26-rc also. dvb_frontend_init() was called either from re-creation of the kdvb-fe0 thread - seems unlikely, or someone called dvb_frontend_reinitialise(), causing this path in the thread - really unlikely, as I can't find any call-site for it. Either way, quite a number of drivers call dvb_usb_generic_rw() [2] without checking the validity of the relevant member in the dvb_usb_device struct - which had changed. Having dvb_usb_generic_rw() sanity-check and fail (rather than loading from 0x120) seems reasonable defensive programming [3], in light of it being called in this way. The problem with this, is that drivers don't check the return code of the init call [4]. Does it make sense to cook a patch which allows the failure to be propagated back up, or am I missing something else?

2008-11-11V4L/DVB (9485): ivtv: remove incorrect V4L1 & tvaudio dependencyHans Verkuil
ivtv used tvaudio in the past and at the time tvaudio required V4L1. Since tvaudio is no longer dependent on V4L1 and since ivtv actually no longer uses tvaudio at all, this is no removed from Kconfig. Without this patch ivtv won't be build if V4L1 is disabled.
