* rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTERStephen Hemminger2011-08-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon change to not handle the special case. Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value. //smpl @@ expression P; @@ - rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL) + RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

* Remove redundant linux/version.h includes from net/Jesper Juhl2011-06-211-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was suggested by "make versioncheck" that the follwing includes of linux/version.h are redundant: /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/caif/caif_dev.c: 14 linux/version.h not needed. /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/caif/chnl_net.c: 10 linux/version.h not needed. /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/ipv4/gre.c: 19 linux/version.h not needed. /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c: 20 linux/version.h not needed. /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/netfilter/xt_set.c: 16 linux/version.h not needed. and it seems that it is right. Beyond manually inspecting the source files I also did a few build tests with various configs to confirm that including the header in those files is indeed not needed. Here's a patch to remove the pointless includes. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Acked-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu> Signed-off-by: David S.

* PPTP: PPP over IPv4 (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)Dmitry Kozlov2010-08-211-0/+151
PPP: introduce "pptp" module which implements point-to-point tunneling protocol using pppox framework NET: introduce the "gre" module for demultiplexing GRE packets on version criteria (required to pptp and ip_gre may coexists) NET: ip_gre: update to use the "gre" module This patch introduces then pptp support to the linux kernel which dramatically speeds up pptp vpn connections and decreases cpu usage in comparison of existing user-space implementation (poptop/pptpclient). There is accel-pptp project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/accel-pptp/) to utilize this module, it contains plugin for pppd to use pptp in client-mode and modified pptpd (poptop) to build high-performance pptp NAS. There was many changes from initial submitted patch, most important are: 1. using rcu instead of read-write locks 2. using static bitmap instead of dynamically allocated 3. using vmalloc for memory allocation instead of BITS_PER_LONG + __get_free_pages 4. fixed many coding style issues Thanks to Eric Dumazet.
