2007-04-25[NET_SCHED]: Eliminate qdisc_tree_lockPatrick McHardy
Since we're now holding the rtnl during the entire dump operation, we can remove qdisc_tree_lock, whose only purpose is to protect dump callbacks from concurrent changes to the qdisc tree. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_tArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4 64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN... :-) Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network, mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being meaningful as offsets or pointers.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2006-09-28[NET_SCHED]: Fix fallout from dev->qdisc RCU changePatrick McHardy
The move of qdisc destruction to a rcu callback broke locking in the entire qdisc layer by invalidating previously valid assumptions about the context in which changes to the qdisc tree occur. The two assumptions were: - since changes only happen in process context, read_lock doesn't need bottem half protection. Now invalid since destruction of inner qdiscs, classifiers, actions and estimators happens in the RCU callback unless they're manually deleted, resulting in dead-locks when read_lock in process context is interrupted by write_lock_bh in bottem half context. - since changes only happen under the RTNL, no additional locking is necessary for data not used during packet processing (f.e. u32_list). Again, since destruction now happens in the RCU callback, this assumption is not valid anymore, causing races while using this data, which can result in corruption or use-after-free. Instead of "fixing" this by disabling bottem halfs everywhere and adding new locks/refcounting, this patch makes these assumptions valid again by moving destruction back to process context. Since only the dev->qdisc pointer is protected by RCU, but ->enqueue and the qdisc tree are still protected by dev->qdisc_lock, destruction of the tree can be performed immediately and only the final free needs to happen in the rcu callback to make sure dev_queue_xmit doesn't access already freed memory.

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!
