Move group allocation to a seperate function to clean up the code a bit and allocate groups before registering the device. Device registration is globally visible and causes netlink events, so we shouldn't fail afterwards. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

Move some device initialization code to new dev->init callback to make it shareable with netlink. Additionally this fixes a minor bug, dev->iflink is set after registration, which causes an incorrect value in the initial netlink message.

Patrick McHardy authored
Move the device lookup and checks to the ioctl handler under the RTNL and change all name-based interfaces to take a struct net_device * instead. This allows to use them from a netlink interface, which identifies devices based on ifindex not name. It also avoids races between the ioctl interface and the (upcoming) netlink interface since now all changes happen under the RTNL. As a nice side effect this greatly simplifies error handling in the helper functions and fixes a number of incorrect error codes like -EINVAL for device not found.

Herbert Xu authored
Currently the code for /proc/net/tcp disable BH while iterating over the entire established hash table. Even though we call cond_resched_softirq for each entry, we still won't process softirq's as regularly as we would otherwise do which results in poor performance when the system is loaded near capacity. This anomaly comes from the 2.4 code where this was all in a single function and the local_bh_disable might have made sense as a small optimisation. The cost of each local_bh_disable is so small when compared against the increased latency in keeping it disabled over a large but mostly empty TCP established hash table that we should just move it to the individual read_lock/read_unlock calls as we do in inet_diag.

Over the years this code has gotten hairier. Resulting in many long discussions over long summer days and patches that get it wrong.

Allan Stephens authored
This patch enhances TIPC's stream socket send routine so that it avoids transmitting data in chunks that require fragmentation and reassembly, thereby improving performance at both the sending and receiving ends of the connection. The "maximum packet size" hint that records MTU info allows the socket to decide how big a chunk it should send; in the event that the hint has become stale, fragmentation may still occur, but the data will be passed correctly and the hint will be updated in time for the following send. Note: The 66060 byte pseudo-MTU used for intra-node connections requires the send routine to perform an additional check to ensure it does not exceed TIPC"s limit of 66000 bytes of user data per chunk.

This patch simplifies TIPC's Ethernet receive routine to take advantage of information already present in each incoming sk_buff indicating whether the packet was explicitly sent to the interface, has been broadcast to all interfaces, or was picked up because the interface is in promiscous mode. This new approach also fixes the problem of TIPC accepting unwanted traffic through UML's multicast-based Ethernet interfaces (which deliver traffic in a promiscuous manner even if the interface is not configured to be promiscuous).

Add the termios2 structure ready for enabling on most platforms. One or two like Sparc are plain weird so have been left alone.

Many places in kernel use seq_file API to iterate over a regular list_head. The code for such iteration is identical in all the places, so it's worth introducing a common helpers. This makes code about 300 lines smaller: The first version of this patch made the helper functions static inline in the seq_file.h header. This patch moves them to the fs/seq_file.c as Andrew proposed. The vmlinux .text section sizes are as follows: 2.6.22-rc1-mm1: 0x001794d5 with the previous version: 0x00179505 with this patch: 0x00179135 The config file used was make allnoconfig with the "y" inclusion of all the possible options to make the files modified by the patch compile plus drivers I have on the test node. This patch: Many places in kernel use seq_file API to iterate over a regular list_head. The code for such iteration is identical in all the places, so it's worth introducing a common helpers.

This is a hybrid version of the patch to add the LZO1X compression algorithm to the kernel. Nitin and myself have merged the best parts of the various patches to form this version which we're both happy with (and are jointly signing off). The performance of this version is equivalent to the original minilzo code it was based on. Bytecode comparisons have also been made on ARM, i386 and x86_64 with favourable results. There are several users of LZO lined up including jffs2, crypto and reiser4 since its much faster than zlib.
