666002218d [PATCH] proc_mkdir() should be used to create procfs directories
A bunch of create_proc_dir_entry() calls creating directories had crept

a79af59efd [NET]: Fix module reference counts for loadable protocol modules
I have been experimenting with loadable protocol modules, and ran into
several issues with module reference counting.

The first issue was that __module_get failed at the BUG_ON check at
the top of the routine (checking that my module reference count was
not zero) when I created the first socket. When sk_alloc() is called,
my module reference count was still 0. When I looked at why sctp
didn't have this problem, I discovered that sctp creates a control
socket during module init (when the module ref count is not 0), which
keeps the reference count non-zero. This section has been updated to
address the point Stephen raised about checking the return value of
try_module_get().

The next problem arose when my socket init routine returned an error.
This resulted in my module reference count being decremented below 0.
My socket ops->release routine was also being called. The issue here
is that sock_release() calls the ops->release routine and decrements
the ref count if sock->ops is not NULL. Since the socket probably
didn't get correctly initialized, this should not be done, so we will
set sock->ops to NULL because we will not call try_module_get().

While searching for another bug, I also noticed that sys_accept() has
a possibility of doing a module_put() when it did not do an
__module_get so I re-ordered the call to security_socket_accept().

45fc3b11f1 [NET]: Protect neigh_stat_seq_fops by CONFIG_PROC_FS
From: Amos Waterland <apw@us.ibm.com>

If CONFIG_PROC_FS is not selected, the compiler emits this warning:

 net/core/neighbour.c:64: warning: `neigh_stat_seq_fops' defined but not used

Which is correct, because neigh_stat_seq_fops is in fact only
initialized and used by code that is protected by CONFIG_PROC_FS.  So
this patch fixes that up.

6582c164f2 [PATCH] WE-19 for kernel 2.6.13
Hi Jeff,

	This is version 19 of the Wireless Extensions. It was supposed
to be the fallback of the WPA API changes, but people seem quite happy
about it (especially Jouni), so the patch is rather small.
	The patch has been fully tested with 2.6.13 and various
wireless drivers, and is in its final version. Would you mind pushing
that into Linus's kernel so that the driver and the apps can take
advantage ot it ?

	It includes :
	o iwstat improvement (explicit dBm). This is the result of
long discussions with Dan Williams, the authors of
NetworkManager. Thanks to him for all the fruitful feedback.
	o remove pointer from event stream. I was not totally sure if
this pointer was 32-64 bits clean, so I'd rather remove it and be at
peace with it.
	o remove linux header from wireless.h. This has long been
requested by people writting user space apps, now it's done, and it
was not even painful.
	o final deprecation of spy_offset. You did not like it, it's
now gone for good.
	o Start deprecating dev->get_wireless_stats -> debloat netdev
	o Add "check" version of event macros for ieee802.11
stack. Jiri Benc doesn't like the current macros, we aim to please ;-)
	All those changes, except the last one, have been bit-roting on
my web pages for a while...

	Patches for most kernel drivers will follow. Patches for the
Orinoco and the HostAP drivers have been sent to their respective
maintainers.

	Have fun...

	Jean

9261c9b042 [NET]: Make sure l_linger is unsigned to avoid negative timeouts
One of my x86_64 (linux 2.6.13) server log is filled with :

schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca

This is because some application does a

struct linger li;
li.l_onoff = 1;
li.l_linger = -1;
setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, &li, sizeof(li));

And unfortunatly l_linger is defined as a 'signed int' in
include/linux/socket.h:

struct linger {
         int             l_onoff;        /* Linger active                */
         int             l_linger;       /* How long to linger for       */
};

I dont know if it's safe to change l_linger to 'unsigned int' in the
include file (It might be defined as int in ABI specs)

1198ad002a [NET]: 2.6.13 breaks libpcap (and tcpdump)
Patrick McHardy says:

  Never mind, I got it, we never fall through to the second switch
  statement anymore. I think we could simply break when load_pointer
  returns NULL. The switch statement will fall through to the default
  case and return 0 for all cases but 0 > k >= SKF_AD_OFF.

Here's a patch to do just that.

I left BPF_MSH alone because it's really a hack to calculate the IP
header length, which makes no sense when applied to the special data.

d179cd1292 [NET]: Implement SKB fast cloning.

correct time.

8feaf0c0a5 [INET]: Generalise tcp_tw_bucket, aka TIME_WAIT sockets
This paves the way to generalise the rest of the sock ID lookup
routines and saves some bytes in TCPv4 TIME_WAIT sockets on distro
kernels (where IPv6 is always built as a module):

[root@qemu ~]# grep tw_sock /proc/slabinfo
tw_sock_TCPv6  0  0  128  31  1
tw_sock_TCP    0  0   96  41  1
[root@qemu ~]#

Now if a protocol wants to use the TIME_WAIT generic infrastructure it
only has to set the sk_prot->twsk_obj_size field with the size of its
inet_timewait_sock derived sock and proto_register will create
sk_prot->twsk_slab, for now its only for INET sockets, but we can
introduce timewait_sock later if some non INET transport protocolo
wants to use this stuff.

Next changesets will take advantage of this new infrastructure to
generalise even more TCP code.

[acme@toy net-2.6.14]$ grep built-in /tmp/before.size /tmp/after.size
/tmp/before.size: 188646   11764    5068  205478   322a6 net/ipv4/built-in.o

8728b834b2 [NET]: Kill skb->list
Remove the "list" member of struct sk_buff, as it is entirely
redundant.  All SKB list removal callers know which list the
SKB is on, so storing this in sk_buff does nothing other than
taking up some space.

Two tricky bits were SCTP, which I took care of, and two ATM
drivers which Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> fixed
up.

6869c4d8e0 [NETFILTER]: reduce netfilter sk_buff enlargement
As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller.  I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.

The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit.  Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them.  Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.

Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(

The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.

- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
  compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field.  IPVS maintainers can
  decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

53fb95d3c1 [NETPOLL]: fix initialization/NAPI race
This fixes a race during initialization with the NAPI softirq
processing by using an RCU approach.

This race was discovered when refill_skbs() was added to
the setup code.
