Merge branch 'filter-next'
Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== net: filter: split sk_filter into socket and bpf, cleanup names The main goal of the series is to split 'struct sk_filter' into socket and bpf parts and cleanup names in the following way: - everything that deals with sockets keeps 'sk_*' prefix - everything that is pure BPF is changed to 'bpf_*' prefix split 'struct sk_filter' into struct sk_filter { atomic_t refcnt; struct rcu_head rcu; struct bpf_prog *prog; }; and struct bpf_prog { u32 jited:1, len:31; struct sock_fprog_kern *orig_prog; unsigned int (*bpf_func)(const struct sk_buff *skb, const struct bpf_insn *filter); union { struct sock_filter insns[0]; struct bpf_insn insnsi[0]; struct work_struct work; }; }; so that 'struct bpf_prog' can be used independent of sockets and cleans up 'unattached' bpf use cases: isdn, ppp, team, seccomp, ptp, xt_bpf, cls_bpf, test_bpf which don't need refcnt/rcu fields. It's a follow up to the rcu cleanup started by Pablo in commit 34c5bd66 ("net: filter: don't release unattached filter through call_rcu()") Patch 1 - cleans up socket memory charging and makes it possible for functions sk(bpf)_migrate_filter(), sk(bpf)_prepare_filter() to be socket independent Patches 2-4 - trivial renames Patch 5 - sk_filter split and renames of related sk_*() functions ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
