net: Kill ratelimit.h dependency in linux/net.h

2011-05-27T17:41:33Z

Ingo Molnar noticed that we have this unnecessary ratelimit.h dependency in linux/net.h, which hid compilation problems from people doing builds only with CONFIG_NET enabled. Move this stuff out to a seperate net/net_ratelimit.h file and include that in the only two places where this thing is needed. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Ingo Molnar

net: add mac_pton() for parsing MAC address

2011-05-09T19:10:49Z

mac_pton() parses MAC address in form XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX and only in that form. mac_pton() doesn't dirty result until it's sure string representation is valid. mac_pton() doesn't care about characters _after_ last octet, it's up to caller to deal with it. mac_pton() diverges from 0/-E return value convention. Target usage: if (!mac_pton(str, whatever->mac)) return -EINVAL; /* ->mac being u8 [ETH_ALEN] is filled at this point. */ /* optionally check str[3 * ETH_ALEN - 1] for termination */ Use mac_pton() in pktgen and netconsole for start.

printk: Remove ratelimit.h from kernel.h

2009-09-22T14:18:09Z

Decouple kernel.h from ratelimit.h: the global declaration of printk's ratelimit_state is not needed, and it leads to messy circular dependencies due to ratelimit.h's (new) adding of a spinlock_types.h include.

printk ratelimiting rewrite

2008-07-25T17:53:29Z

All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages (callbacks) will be lost. For example: a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will will be supressed. - rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter. Thanks for hints from andrew. - Add WARN_ON_RATELIMIT, update rcupreempt.h - remove __printk_ratelimit - use __ratelimit in net_ratelimit Signed-off-by: Dave Young Cc: "David S. Miller" Cc: "Paul E.
