2007-02-14	[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h	Tim Schmielau	1	-1/+0
	After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2006-12-06	[NET_SCHED]: cls_fw: fix NULL pointer dereference	Patrick McHardy	1	-1/+2
	When the first fw classifier is initialized, there is a small window between the ->init() and ->change() calls, during which the classifier is active but not entirely set up and tp->root is still NULL (->init() does nothing). When a packet is queued during this window a NULL pointer dereference occurs in fw_classify() when trying to dereference head->mask; Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-12-02	[NET]: Turn nfmark into generic mark	Thomas Graf	1	-5/+1
	nfmark is being used in various subsystems and has become the defacto mark field for all kinds of packets. Therefore it makes sense to rename it to `mark' and remove the dependency on CONFIG_NETFILTER. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-09-22	[NET_SCHED]: Add mask support to fwmark classifier	Patrick McHardy	1	-1/+24
	Support masking the nfmark value before the search. The mask value is global for all filters contained in one instance. It can only be set when a new instance is created, all filters must specify the same mask. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-04-24	[PKT_SCHED]: improve hashing performance of cls_fw	Thomas Graf	1	-4/+27
	Calculate hashtable size to fit into a page instead of a hardcoded 256 buckets hash table. Results in a 1024 buckets hashtable on most systems. Replace old naive extract-8-lsb-bits algorithm with a better algorithm xor'ing 3 or 4 bit fields at the size of the hashtable array index in order to improve distribution if the majority of the lower bits are unused while keeping zero collision behaviour for the most common use case. Thanks to Wang Jian <lark@linux.net.cn> for bringing this issue to attention and to Eran Mann <emann@mrv.com> for the initial idea for this new algorithm.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+378
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
