2006-09-24[DCCP]: Allow default/fallback service code.Gerrit Renker1-3/+5
This has been discussed on dccp@vger and removes the necessity for applications to supply service codes in each and every case. If an application does not want to provide a service code, that's fine, it will be given 0. Otherwise, service codes can be set via socket options as before. This patch has been tested using various client/server configurations (including listening on multiple service codes).

2006-08-17[NET]: Terminology in ip-sysctl.txtJan "Yenya" Kasprzak1-3/+3
this minor patch fixes the description of net.ipv4.tcp_mem sysctl in ip-sysctl.txt - the headline names the values "min, pressure, max", while the description uses the "low, pressure, high" values. Both tcp_rmem and tcp_wmem descriptions use the "min, pressure, max" values, so I have changed the tcp_mem to match this and not vice versa.

2006-07-29[PATCH] qla3xxx NIC driverRon Mercer1-0/+46
This is a complementary network driver for our ISP4XXX parts. There is a concurrent effort underway to get the iSCSI driver (qla4xxx) integrated upstream as well. I have been through several iterations with the linux-netdev list and have had much response from Stephen Hemminger. - Built and tested using kernel 2.6.17-rc4. - The chip supports two ethernet and two iSCSI functions. - The functions ql_sem_lock, ql_sem_spinlock, ql_sem_unlock, and ql_wait_for_drvr_lock are used to protect resources that are shared across the network and iSCSI functions. This protection is mostly during chip initialization and resets, but also include link management. - The PHY/MII are not exported through ethtool due to the fact that the iSCSI function will control the common link at least 50% of the time. This driver has been through several iterations on the netdev list and we feel this driver is ready for inclusion in the upstream kernel. It has been built and tested on x86 and PPC64 platforms.

2006-06-23[NET]: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN to create tuntap devices.David Woodhouse1-4/+7
The tuntap driver allows an admin to create persistent devices and assign ownership of them to individual users. Unfortunately, relaxing the permissions on the /dev/net/tun device node so that they can actually use those devices will _also_ allow those users to create arbitrary new devices of their own. This patch corrects that, and adjusts the recommended permissions for the device node accordingly. Signed-off-By: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-06-17[TCP]: Add tcp_slow_start_after_idle sysctl.David S. Miller1-0/+7
A lot of people have asked for a way to disable tcp_cwnd_restart(), and it seems reasonable to add a sysctl to do that. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-06-17[NET]: Add netif_tx_lockHerbert Xu1-4/+4
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner. This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use. With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take xmit_lock recursively. While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible. So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner. I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock. This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small bug fix in winbond. It currently uses netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to use netif_tx_disable. The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-03-20[TCP]: sysctl to allow TCP window > 32767 sans wscaleRick Jones1-0/+7
Back in the dark ages, we had to be conservative and only allow 15-bit window fields if the window scale option was not negotiated. Some ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of the TCP header and would get confused. Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default now. There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old stacks Signed-off-by: Rick Jones <rick.jones2@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
