2007-10-10[RFKILL]: Add support for ultrawidebandIvo van Doorn4-0/+15
This patch will add support for UWB keys to rfkill, support for this has been requested by Inaky. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-10[RFKILL]: Remove IRDAIvo van Doorn3-10/+5
As Dmitry pointed out earlier, rfkill-input.c doesn't support irda because there are no users and we shouldn't add unrequired KEY_ defines. However, RFKILL_TYPE_IRDA was defined in the rfkill.h header file and would confuse people about whether it is implemented or not. This patch removes IRDA support completely, so it can be added whenever a driver wants the feature. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-10[NET]: Fix race when opening a proc file while a network namespace is exiting.Eric W. Biederman7-8/+39
The problem: proc_net files remember which network namespace the are against but do not remember hold a reference count (as that would pin the network namespace). So we currently have a small window where the reference count on a network namespace may be incremented when opening a /proc file when it has already gone to zero. To fix this introduce maybe_get_net and get_proc_net. maybe_get_net increments the network namespace reference count only if it is greater then zero, ensuring we don't increment a reference count after it has gone to zero. get_proc_net handles all of the magic to go from a proc inode to the network namespace instance and call maybe_get_net on it. PROC_NET the old accessor is removed so that we don't get confused and use the wrong helper function. Then I fix up the callers to use get_proc_net and handle the case case where get_proc_net returns NULL. In that case I return -ENXIO because effectively the network namespace has already gone away so the files we are trying to access don't exist anymore. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[NETNS]: Fix allnoconfig compilation error.Daniel Lezcano2-1/+8
When CONFIG_NET=no, init_net is unresolved because net_namespace.c is not compiled and the include pull init_net definition. This problem was very similar with the ipc namespace where the kernel can be compiled with SYSV ipc out. This patch fix that defining a macro which simply remove init_net initialization from nsproxy namespace aggregator. Compiled and booted on qemu-i386 with CONFIG_NET=no and CONFIG_NET=yes.

2007-10-10[NET_SCHED]: Making rate table lookups more flexible.Jesper Dangaard Brouer2-3/+5
This is done in order to, add support to changing the rate table to use the upper-boundry L2T (length to time) value. Currently we use the lower-boundry, which result in under-estimating the actual bandwidth usage. Extend the tc_ratespec struct, with two parameters: 1) "cell_align" that allow adjusting the alignment of the rate table. 2) "overhead" that allow adding a packet overhead before the lookup.

2007-10-10[NET_SCHED]: Cleanup L2T macros and handle oversized packetsJesper Dangaard Brouer5-9/+19
Change L2T (length to time) macros, in all rate based schedulers, to call a common function qdisc_l2t() that does the rate table lookup. This function handles if the packet size lookup is larger than the rate table, which often occurs with TSO enabled.

2007-10-10[NETNS]: Fix bad macro definition.Daniel Lezcano1-18/+17
The macro definition is bad. When calling next_net_device with parameter name "dev", the resulting code is: struct net_device *dev = dev and that leads to an unexpected behavior. Especially when llc_core is compiled in, the kernel panics at boot time. The patchset change macro definition with static inline functions as they were defined before.

2007-10-10[NETNS]: Fix loopback network namespace initialization.Daniel Lezcano1-0/+1
The core patchset of the network namespace sent by Eric Biederman does not do dynamic loopback creation. So there is no call to alloc_netdev_mq which fills the network namespace field of the netdevice. This patch assign the loopback to the init network namespace.

2007-10-10[PATCH] NET : convert IP route cache garbage collection from softirq processing to a workqueueEric Dumazet1-67/+122
When the periodic IP route cache flush is done (every 600 seconds on default configuration), some hosts suffer a lot and eventually trigger the "soft lockup" message. dst_run_gc() is doing a scan of a possibly huge list of dst_entries, eventually freeing some (less than 1%) of them, while holding the dst_lock spinlock for the whole scan. Then it rearms a timer to redo the full thing 1/10 s later... The slowdown can last one minute or so, depending on how active are the tcp sessions. This second version of the patch converts the processing from a softirq based one to a workqueue. Even if the list of entries in garbage_list is huge, host is still responsive to softirqs and can make progress. Instead of resetting gc timer to 0.1 second if one entry was freed in a gc run, we do this if more than 10% of entries were freed.
