llc: delete timers synchronously in llc_sk_free()

2018-04-22T18:55:03Z

The connection timers of an llc sock could be still flying after we delete them in llc_sk_free(), and even possibly after we free the sock. We could just wait synchronously here in case of troubles. Note, I leave other call paths as they are, since they may not have to wait, at least we can change them to synchronously when needed. Also, move the code to net/llc/llc_conn.c, which is apparently a better place. Reported-by: Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

llc: properly handle dev_queue_xmit() return value

2018-03-27T15:56:00Z

llc_conn_send_pdu() pushes the skb into write queue and calls llc_conn_send_pdus() to flush them out. However, the status of dev_queue_xmit() is not returned to caller, in this case, llc_conn_state_process(). llc_conn_state_process() needs hold the skb no matter success or failure, because it still uses it after that, therefore we should hold skb before dev_queue_xmit() when that skb is the one being processed by llc_conn_state_process(). For other callers, they can just pass NULL and ignore the return value as they are. Reported-by: Noam Rathaus Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Pass kern from net_proto_family.create to sk_alloc

2015-05-11T14:50:17Z

In preparation for changing how struct net is refcounted on kernel sockets pass the knowledge that we are creating a kernel socket from sock_create_kern through to sk_alloc. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

llc*.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-21T18:01:38Z

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

llc: use a device based hash table to speed up multicast delivery

2009-12-27T04:43:57Z

This patch adds a per SAP device based hash table to solve the multicast delivery scalability issue when we have large number of interfaces and a large number of sockets bound to the same SAP. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.

2007-10-10T23:49:07Z

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace. Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe. Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the exotic protocols are supported. Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1

2005-10-08T22:00:57Z

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.
