[IPV6] MCAST: Ensure to check multicast listener(s).

2008-04-01T02:30:45+00:00

In ip6_mc_input(), we need to check whether we have listener(s) for
the packet.

After commit ae7bf20a6316272acfcaef5d265b18aaa54b41e4, all packets
for multicast destinations are delivered to upper layer if
IFF_PROMISC or IFF_ALLMULTI is set.

In fact, bug was rather ancient; the original (before the commit)
intent of the dev->flags check was to skip the ipv6_chk_mcast_addr()
call, assuming L2 filters packets appropriately, but it was even not
true.

Let's explicitly check our multicast list.

[IPv6] RAW: Compact the API for the kernel

2008-01-28T22:54:29+00:00

Same as in the previous patch for ipv4, compact the
API and hide hash table and rwlock inside the raw.c
file.

Plus fix some "bad" places from checkpatch.pl point
of view (assignments inside if()).

[NETFILTER]: Introduce NF_INET_ hook values

2008-01-28T22:53:55+00:00

The IPv4 and IPv6 hook values are identical, yet some code tries to figure
out the "correct" value by looking at the address family. Introduce NF_INET_*
values for both IPv4 and IPv6. The old values are kept in a #ifndef __KERNEL__
section for userspace compatibility.

[IPV6]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff * in input handlers

2007-10-15T19:50:28+00:00

With all the users of the double pointers removed from the IPv6 input path,
this patch converts all occurances of sk_buff ** to sk_buff * in IPv6 input
handlers.

[IPV6]: Uninline netfilter okfns

2007-10-15T19:26:36+00:00

Uninline netfilter okfns for those cases where gcc can generate tail-calls.

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
8994153 1016524  524652 10535329         a0c1a1 vmlinux

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
8992761 1016524  524652 10533937         a0bc31 vmlinux
-------------------------------------------------------
  -1392

All cases have been verified to generate tail-calls with and without netfilter.

[NET]: Dynamically allocate the loopback device, part 1.

2007-10-10T23:52:14+00:00

This patch replaces all occurences to the static variable
loopback_dev to a pointer loopback_dev. That provides the
mindless, trivial, uninteressting change part for the dynamic
allocation for the loopback.
