2009-11-18strcmp: fix overflow and possibly signedness errorLinus Torvalds1-6/+14
Doing the strcmp return value as signed char __res = *cs - *ct; is wrong for two reasons. The subtraction can overflow because __res doesn't use a type big enough. Moreover the compared bytes should be interpreted as unsigned char as specified by POSIX. The same problem is fixed in strncmp.

Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ? In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously. [PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105 real 0m0.266s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s real 0m0.770s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s real 0m1.022s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the holding of device done by following chain : vlan_dev_stop() -> netif_carrier_off(dev) -> linkwatch_fire_event(dev) -> dev_hold() ... And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later... A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method to unlink the device from the list of watched devices. dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory), to be able to unlink device in O(1). After patch : time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105 real 0m0.024s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s real 0m0.032s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s real 0m0.033s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-11-18net: introduce NETDEV_UNREGISTER_PERNETOctavian Purdila2-2/+28
This new event is called once for each unique net namespace in batched unregister operations (with the argument set to a random device from that namespace) and once per device in non-batched unregister operations. It allows us to factorize some device unregister work such as clearing the routing cache. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-11-17macvlan: Precise RX stats accountingEric Dumazet1-10/+66
With multi queue devices, its possible that several cpus call macvlan RX routines simultaneously for the same macvlan device. We update RX stats counter without any locking, so we can get slightly wrong counters. One possible fix is to use percpu counters, to get precise accounting and also get guarantee of no cache line ping pongs between cpus. Note: this adds 16 bytes (32 bytes on 64bit arches) of percpu data per macvlan device. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
