net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s

2010-05-18T06:23:14Z

This patch removes from net/ (but not any netfilter files) all the unnecessary return; statements that precede the last closing brace of void functions. It does not remove the returns that are immediately preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that. Done via: $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \ xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }' Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S.

net: spread __net_init, __net_exit

2010-01-18T03:16:02Z

__net_init/__net_exit are apparently not going away, so use them to full extent. In some cases __net_init was removed, because it was called from __net_exit code. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

missing bits of net-namespace / sysctl

2008-07-27T16:45:34Z

Piss-poor sysctl registration API strikes again, film at 11... What we really need is _pathname_ required to be present in already registered table, so that kernel could warn about bad order. That's the next target for sysctl stuff (and generally saner and more explicit order of initialization of ipv[46] internals wouldn't hurt either). For the time being, here are full fixups required by ..._rotable() stuff; we make per-net sysctl sets descendents of "ro" one and make sure that sufficient skeleton is there before we start registering per-net sysctls.

[PATCH] beginning of sysctl cleanup - ctl_table_set

2008-07-27T00:53:08Z

New object: set of sysctls [currently - root and per-net-ns]. Contains: pointer to parent set, list of tables and "should I see this set?" method (->is_seen(set)). Current lists of tables are subsumed by that; net-ns contains such a beast. ->lookup() for ctl_table_root returns pointer to ctl_table_set instead of that to ->list of that ctl_table_set. [folded compile fixes by rdd for configs without sysctl] Signed-off-by: Al Viro

sysctl: allow override of /proc/sys/net with CAP_NET_ADMIN

2008-07-25T17:53:45Z

Extend the permission check for networking sysctl's to allow modification when current process has CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and is not root. This version uses the until now unused permissions hook to override the mode value for /proc/sys/net if accessed by a user with capabilities. Found while working with Quagga. It is impossible to turn forwarding on/off through the command interface because Quagga uses secure coding practice of dropping privledges during initialization and only raising via capabilities when necessary. Since the dameon has reset real/effective uid after initialization, all attempts to access /proc/sys/net variables will fail. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: "Eric W.

netns: Introduce sysctl root for read-only net sysctls.

[NET]: Remove the empty net_table
