tokenring: delete all remaining driver support

2012-05-16T00:23:16Z

This represents the mass deletion of the of the tokenring support. It gets rid of: - the net/tr.c which the drivers depended on - the drivers/net component - the Kbuild infrastructure around it - any tokenring related CONFIG_ settings in any defconfigs - the tokenring headers in the include/linux dir - the firmware associated with the tokenring drivers. - any associated token ring documentation.

net: delete all instances of special processing for token ring

2012-05-16T00:14:35Z

We are going to delete the Token ring support. This removes any special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring support present but inert. The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate commit, so that the history of these files that we still care about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.

802: Convert compare_ether_addr to ether_addr_equal

net: Convert all sysctl registrations to register_net_sysctl

2012-04-21T01:22:30Z

This results in code with less boiler plate that is a bit easier to read. Additionally stops us from using compatibility code in the sysctl core, hastening the day when the compatibility code can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Move all of the network sysctls without a namespace into init_net.

2012-04-21T01:21:17Z

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network namespace. This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the initial network namespace in other namespaces. This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to userspace and I can't honestly remember why we didn't do this for sysctls right from the start. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

net/garp: fix GID rbtree ordering

2012-04-13T17:10:33Z

The comparison operators were backwards in both garp_attr_lookup and garp_attr_create, so the entire GID rbtree was in reverse order. (There was no practical side effect to this though, except that PDUs were sent with attributes listed in reverse order, which is still valid by the protocol. This change is only for clarity.)

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Provide device string properly for USB i2400m wimax devices, also don't OOPS when providing firmware string. From Phil Sutter. 2) Add support for sh_eth SH7734 chips, from Nobuhiro Iwamatsu. 3) Add another device ID to USB zaurus driver, from Guan Xin. 4) Loop index start in pool vector iterator is wrong causing MAC to not get configured in bnx2x driver, fix from Dmitry Kravkov. 5) EQL driver assumes HZ=100, fix from Eric Dumazet. 6) Now that skb_add_rx_frag() can specify the truesize increment separately, do so in f_phonet and cdc_phonet, also from Eric Dumazet. 7) virtio_net accidently uses net_ratelimit() not only on the kernel warning but also the statistic bump, fix from Rick Jones. 8) ip_route_input_mc() uses fixed init_net namespace, oops, use dev_net(dev) instead. Fix from Benjamin LaHaise. 9) dev_forward_skb() needs to clear the incoming interface index of the SKB so that it looks like a new incoming packet, also from Benjamin LaHaise. 10) iwlwifi mistakenly initializes a channel entry as 2GHZ instead of 5GHZ, fix from Stanislav Yakovlev. 11) Missing kmalloc() return value checks in orinoco, from Santosh Nayak. 12) ath9k doesn't check for HT capabilities in the right way, it is checking ht_supported instead of the ATH9K_HW_CAP_HT flag. Fix from Sujith Manoharan. 13) Fix x86 BPF JIT emission of 16-bit immediate field of AND instructions, from Feiran Zhuang. 14) Avoid infinite loop in GARP code when registering sysfs entries.

From Roland Stigge. 17) Make ipv6 RTM_GETROUTE interpret RTA_IIF attribute the same way that ipv4 does.

Fix from Andreas Mohr. 19) RIONET assumes 4K page size, fix from Akinobu Mita. 20) Initialization of imask register in sky2 is buggy, because bits are "or'd" into an uninitialized local variable.

net/garp: avoid infinite loop if attribute already exists

2012-04-01T20:47:11Z

An infinite loop occurred if garp_attr_create was called with the values of an existing attribute. This might happen if a previous leave request for the attribute has not yet been followed by a PDU transmission (or, if the application previously issued a join request for the attribute and is now issuing another one, without having issued a leave request). If garp_attr_create finds an existing attribute having the same values, return the address to it. Its state will then get updated (i.e., if it was in a leaving state, it will move into a non-leaving state and not get deleted during the next PDU transmission). To accomplish this fix, collapse garp_attr_insert into garp_attr_create (which is its only caller). Thanks to Jorge Boncompte [DTI2] for contributing to this fix.
