* [NET]: Fix packet timestamping.Herbert Xu2005-10-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit architecture. The problem occurs when you change the system time. Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day. This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in. In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while yet. When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

* [AF_PACKET]: Remove bogus checks added to packet_sendmsg().David S. Miller2005-09-261-6/+0
| | | | | | | These broke existing apps, and the checks are superfluous as the values being verified aren't even used. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [AF_PACKET]: Allow for > 8 byte hardware addresses.Eric W. Biederman2005-09-211-17/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The convention is that longer addresses will simply extend the hardeware address byte arrays at the end of sockaddr_ll and packet_mreq. In making this change a small information leak was also closed. The code only initializes the hardware address bytes that are used, but all of struct sockaddr_ll was copied to userspace. Now we just copy sockaddr_ll to the last byte of the hardware address used. For error checking larger structures than our internal maximums continue to be allowed but an error is signaled if we can not fit the hardware address into our internal structure.

* [NET]: Use file->private_data to get socket pointer.Eric Dumazet2005-09-061-4/+2
| | | | | | | | Avoid touching file->f_dentry on sockets, since file->private_data directly gives us the socket pointer. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: Store skb->timestamp as offset to a base timestampPatrick McHardy2005-08-291-4/+4

* [NET]: Kill skb->real_devDavid S. Miller2005-08-291-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond() decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original device into packet_type->func() as an argument. It remains to be seen whether we can use this same exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NETFILTER]: Revert nf_reset changePhil Oester2005-07-121-0/+6

* [NET]: move config options out to individual protocolsSam Ravnborg2005-07-111-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.

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!
