NET: Fix FIB rules compatability

2007-04-06T10:43:14Z

[NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakage Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy. The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all" or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute, but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a validation error. Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the length of an address. Report an error if address length is non zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on availability of attribute.

[DECNET]: Handle a failure in neigh_parms_alloc (take 2)

2007-01-25T23:51:51Z

While enhancing the neighbour code to handle multiple network namespaces I noticed that decnet is assuming neigh_parms_alloc will allways succeed, which is clearly wrong. So handle the failure. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Steven Whitehouse Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25Z

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] slab: remove SLAB_KERNEL

2006-12-07T16:39:24Z

SLAB_KERNEL is an alias of GFP_KERNEL. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[RTNETLINK]: Add rtnl_put_cacheinfo() to unify some code

2006-12-03T05:30:44Z

IPv4, IPv6, and DECNet all use struct rta_cacheinfo in a similiar way, therefore rtnl_put_cacheinfo() is added to reuse code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETLINK]: Remove unused dst_pid field in netlink_skb_parms

2006-12-03T05:30:43Z

The destination PID is passed directly to netlink_unicast() respectively netlink_multicast(). Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[DECNET] address: Convert to new netlink interface

2006-12-03T05:30:30Z

Extends the netlink interface to support the __le16 type and converts address addition, deletion and, dumping to use the new netlink interface. Fixes multiple occasions of possible illegal memory references due to not validated netlink attributes. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[DECNET] address: Rename rtmsg_ifa() to dn_ifaddr_notify()

2006-12-03T05:30:29Z

The name rtmsg_ifa is heavly overused and confusing. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
