2007-05-19[NET]: Fix race condition about network device name allocation.Stephen Hemminger1-1/+7
Kenji Kaneshige found this race between device removal and registration. On unregister it is possible for the old device to exist, because sysfs file is still open. A new device with 'eth%d' will select the same name, but sysfs kobject register will fial. The following changes the shutdown order slightly. It hold a removes the sysfs entries earlier (on unregister_netdevice), but holds a kobject reference. Then when todo runs the actual last put free happens.

2006-09-25[PATCH] WE-21 support (core API)John W. Linville1-4/+1
This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog : o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1) o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more o long/short retry This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean Tourrilhes. I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor). CC: Jean Tourrilhes <jt@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2006-05-06[NET]: Create netdev attribute_groups with class_device_addStephen Hemminger1-37/+12

2006-03-20[NET] core: add RFC2863 operstateStefan Rompf1-0/+41
this patch adds a dormant flag to network devices, RFC2863 operstate derived from these flags and possibility for userspace interaction. It allows drivers to signal that a device is unusable for user traffic without disabling queueing (and therefore the possibility for protocol establishment traffic to flow) and a userspace supplicant (WPA, 802.1X) to mark a device unusable without changes to the driver. It is the result of our long discussion. However I must admit that it represents what Jamal and I agreed on with compromises towards Krzysztof, but Thomas and Krzysztof still disagree with some parts. Anyway I think it should be applied.

dev->get_wireless_stats is deprecated but removing it also removes wireless subdirectory in sysfs. This patch puts it back. akpm: I don't know what's happening here.

2006-01-04[PATCH] net: swich device attribute creation to default attrsKay Sievers1-47/+21
Recent udev versions don't longer cover bad sysfs timing with built-in logic. Explicit rules are required to do that. For net devices, the following is needed: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="address" to handle access to net device properties from an event handler without races. This patch changes the main net attributes to be created by the driver core, which is done _before_ the event is sent out and will not require the stat() loop of the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS key.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+461
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
