2016-10-31	driver: tun: Use new macro SOCK_IOC_TYPE instead of literal number 0x89	Gao Feng	1	-0/+2
	The current codes use _IOC_TYPE(cmd) == 0x89 to check if the cmd is one socket ioctl command like SIOCGIFHWADDR. But the literal number 0x89 may confuse readers. So create one macro SOCK_IOC_TYPE to enhance the readability. Signed-off-by: Gao Feng <fgao@ikuai8.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-10-31	net: add an ioctl to get a socket network namespace	Andrey Vagin	1	-0/+1
	Each socket operates in a network namespace where it has been created, so if we want to dump and restore a socket, we have to know its network namespace. We have a socket_diag to get information about sockets, it doesn't report sockets which are not bound or connected. This patch introduces a new socket ioctl, which is called SIOCGSKNS and used to get a file descriptor for a socket network namespace. A task must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in a target network namespace to use this ioctl. Cc: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Eric W.

2016-01-05	include/uapi/linux/sockios.h: mark SIOCRTMSG unused	xypron.glpk@gmx.de	1	-1/+1
	IOCTL SIOCRTMSG does nothing but return EINVAL. So comment it as unused. SIOCRTMSG is only used in: * net/ipv4/af_inet.c * include/uapi/linux/sockios.h inet_ioctl calls ip_rt_ioctl. ip_rt_ioctl only handles SIOCADDRT and SIOCDELRT and returns -EINVAL otherwise.

2013-11-19	net_tstamp: Add SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl to match SIOCSHWTSTAMP	Ben Hutchings	1	-1/+2
	SIOCSHWTSTAMP returns the real configuration to the application using it, but there is currently no way for any other application to find out the configuration non-destructively. Add a new ioctl for this, making it unprivileged. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
