percpu: add __percpu sparse annotations to net

2010-02-17T07:05:38Z

Add __percpu sparse annotations to net. These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be in a different address space and warn if accessed without going through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds. The macro and type tricks around snmp stats make things a bit interesting. DEFINE/DECLARE_SNMP_STAT() macros mark the target field as __percpu and SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS() macro is updated accordingly. All snmp_mib_*() users which used to cast the argument to (void **) are updated to cast it to (void __percpu **). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: David S.

[SOCK][NETNS]: Add the percpu prot_inuse counter in the struct net.

2008-04-01T02:42:16Z

Such an accounting would cost us two more dereferences to get the percpu variable from the struct net, so I make sock_prot_inuse_get and _add calls work differently depending on CONFIG_NET_NS - without it old optimized routines are used. The per-cpu counter for init_net is prepared in core_initcall, so that even af_inet, that starts as fs_initcall, will already have the init_net prepared.

[NETNS]: Introduce a netns_core structure.

2008-04-01T02:41:14Z

There's already some stuff on the struct net, that should better be folded into netns_core structure. I'm making the per-proto inuse counter be per-net also, which is also a candidate for this, so introduce this structure and populate it a bit. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S.
