0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

b402f06d6e [PATCH] sysctl: x25: remove unnecessary insert_at_head from register_sysctl_table
There has not been much maintenance on sysctl in years, and as a result is
there is a lot to do to allow future interesting work to happen, and being
ambitious I'm trying to do it all at once :)

The patches in this series fall into several general categories.

- Removal of useless attempts to override the standard sysctls

- Registers of sysctl numbers in sysctl.h so someone else does not use
  the magic number and conflict.

- C99 conversions so it becomes possible to change the layout of
  struct ctl_table without breaking everything.

- Removal of useless claims of module ownership, in the proc dir entries

- Removal of sys_sysctl support where people had used conflicting sysctl
  numbers. Trying to break glibc or other applications by changing the
  ABI is not cool.  9 instances of this in the kernel seems a little
  extreme.

- General enhancements when I got the junk I could see out.

This patch:

Since x25 uses unique binary numbers inserting yourself at the head of the
search list for sysctls so you can override already registered sysctls is
pointless.

da7071d7e3 [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 8
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

Adds call forwarding to X.25, allowing it to operate like an X.25 router.
Useful if one needs to manipulate X.25 traffic with tools like tc.
This is an update/cleanup based off a patch submitted by Daniel Ferenci a few years ago.

Thanks Alan for the feedback.

a64b7b936d [X25]: allow ITU-T DTE facilities for x25
Allows use of the optional user facility to insert ITU-T
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/) specified DTE facilities in call set-up x25
packets.  This feature is optional; no facilities will be added if the ioctl
is not used, and call setup packet remains the same as before.

If the ioctls provided by the patch are used, then a facility marker will be
added to the x25 packet header so that the called dte address extension
facility can be differentiated from other types of facilities (as described in
the ITU-T X.25 recommendation) that are also allowed in the x25 packet header.

Facility markers are made up of two octets, and may be present in the x25
packet headers of call-request, incoming call, call accepted, clear request,
and clear indication packets.  The first of the two octets represents the
facility code field and is set to zero by this patch.  The second octet of the
marker represents the facility parameter field and is set to 0x0F because the
marker will be inserted before ITU-T type DTE facilities.

Since according to ITU-T X.25 Recommendation X.25(10/96)- 7.1 "All networks
will support the facility markers with a facility parameter field set to all
ones or to 00001111", therefore this patch should work with all x.25 networks.

While there are many ITU-T DTE facilities, this patch implements only the
called and calling address extension, with placeholders in the
x25_dte_facilities structure for the rest of the facilities.

Testing:

This patch was tested using a cisco xot router connected on its serial ports
to an X.25 network, and on its lan ports to a host running an xotd daemon.

It is also possible to test this patch using an xotd daemon and an x25tap
patch, where the xotd daemons work back-to-back without actually using an x.25
network.  See www.fyonne.net for details on how to do this.

a20a855479 [X25]: Fix for broken x25 module.
When a user-space server application calls bind on a socket, then in kernel
space this bound socket is considered 'x25-linked' and the SOCK_ZAPPED flag
is unset.(As in x25_bind()/af_x25.c).

Now when a user-space client application attempts to connect to the server
on the listening socket, if the kernel accepts this in-coming call, then it
returns a new socket to userland and attempts to reply to the caller.

The reply/x25_sendmsg() will fail, because the new socket created on
call-accept has its SOCK_ZAPPED flag set by x25_make_new().
(sock_init_data() called by x25_alloc_socket() called by x25_make_new()
sets the flag to SOCK_ZAPPED)).

Fix: Using the sock_copy_flag() routine available in sock.h fixes this.

Tested on 32 and 64 bit kernels with x25 over tcp.

Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default

This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't
need to export dev_ioctl.

90ddc4f047 [NET]: move struct proto_ops to const
I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)

This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.

This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)

I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.

This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols.
With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a
good basis for further re-structuring.

The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is
fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several
"depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair.

Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are
small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed
out where they belongs.

ebc3f64b86 [X25]: Fast select with no restriction on response
This patch is a follow up to patch 1 regarding "Selective Sub Address
matching with call user data".  It allows use of the Fast-Select-Acceptance
optional user facility for X.25.

This patch just implements fast select with no restriction on response
(NRR).  What this means (according to ITU-T Recomendation 10/96 section
6.16) is that if in an incoming call packet, the relevant facility bits are
set for fast-select-NRR, then the called DTE can issue a direct response to
the incoming packet using a call-accepted packet that contains
call-user-data.  This patch allows such a response.  

The called DTE can also respond with a clear-request packet that contains
call-user-data.  However, this feature is currently not implemented by the
patch.

How is Fast Select Acceptance used?
By default, the system does not allow fast select acceptance (as before).
To enable a response to fast select acceptance,  
After a listen socket in created and bound as follows
	socket(AF_X25, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
	bind(call_soc, (struct sockaddr *)&locl_addr, sizeof(locl_addr));
but before a listen system call is made, the following ioctl should be used.
	ioctl(call_soc,SIOCX25CALLACCPTAPPRV);
Now the listen system call can be made
	listen(call_soc, 4);
After this, an incoming-call packet will be accepted, but no call-accepted 
packet will be sent back until the following system call is made on the socket
that accepts the call
	ioctl(vc_soc,SIOCX25SENDCALLACCPT);
The network (or cisco xot router used for testing here) will allow the 
application server's call-user-data in the call-accepted packet, 
provided the call-request was made with Fast-select NRR.

cb65d506c3 [X25]: Selective sub-address matching with call user data.
From: Shaun Pereira <spereira@tusc.com.au>

This is the first (independent of the second) patch of two that I am
working on with x25 on linux (tested with xot on a cisco router).  Details
are as follows.

Current state of module:

A server using the current implementation (2.6.11.7) of the x25 module will
accept a call request/ incoming call packet at the listening x.25 address,
from all callers to that address, as long as NO call user data is present
in the packet header.

If the server needs to choose to accept a particular call request/ incoming
call packet arriving at its listening x25 address, then the kernel has to
allow a match of call user data present in the call request packet with its
own.  This is required when multiple servers listen at the same x25 address
and device interface.  The kernel currently matches ALL call user data, if
present.

Current Changes:

This patch is a follow up to the patch submitted previously by Andrew
Hendry, and allows the user to selectively control the number of octets of
call user data in the call request packet, that the kernel will match.  By
default no call user data is matched, even if call user data is present. 
To allow call user data matching, a cudmatchlength > 0 has to be passed
into the kernel after which the passed number of octets will be matched. 
Otherwise the kernel behavior is exactly as the original implementation.

This patch also ensures that as is normally the case, no call user data
will be present in the Call accepted / call connected packet sent back to
the caller 

Future Changes on next patch:

There are cases however when call user data may be present in the call
accepted packet.  According to the X.25 recommendation (ITU-T 10/96)
section 5.2.3.2 call user data may be present in the call accepted packet
provided the fast select facility is used.  My next patch will include this
fast select utility and the ability to send up to 128 octets call user data
in the call accepted packet provided the fast select facility is used.  I
am currently testing this, again with xot on linux and cisco.
