[IPX]: Remove outdated information from Kconfig

2007-02-28T17:42:01+00:00

SPX was removed in early 2.5. How to connect to a Mac or the other OS isn't
hard to find out these days.

[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl

2007-02-14T16:09:59+00:00

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

[PATCH] sysctl: ipx: remove unnecessary insert_at_head flag

2007-02-14T16:09:55+00:00

The sysctl numbers used are unique so setting the insert_at_head flag servers
no semantic purpose and is just confusing.

[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 7

2007-02-12T17:48:46+00:00

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

[IPX]: Fix NULL pointer dereference on ipx unload

2007-02-09T00:02:21+00:00

Fixes a null pointer dereference when unloading the ipx module.

On initialization of the ipx module, registering certain packet
types can fail. When this happens, unloading the module later
dereferences NULL pointers.  This patch fixes that. Please apply.

[IPX]: Annotate and fix IPX checksum

2006-11-05T22:11:25+00:00

Calculation of IPX checksum got buggered about 2.4.0.  The old variant
mangled the packet; that got fixed, but calculation itself got buggered.
Restored the correct logics, fixed a subtle breakage we used to have even
back then: if the sum is 0 mod 0xffff, we want to return 0, not 0xffff.
The latter has special meaning for IPX (cheksum disabled).  Observation
(and obvious fix) nicked from history of FreeBSD ipx_cksum.c...
