      net: fix bogus cast in skb_pagelen() and use unsigned variables · c72d8cda
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      1) cast to "int" is unnecessary:
         u8 will be promoted to int before decrementing,
         small positive numbers fit into "int", so their values won't be changed
         during promotion.
      
         Once everything is int including loop counters, signedness doesn't
         matter: 32-bit operations will stay 32-bit operations.
      
         But! Someone tried to make this loop smart by making everything of
         the same type apparently in an attempt to optimise it.
         Do the optimization, just differently.
         Do the cast where it matters. :^)
      
      2) frag size is unsigned entity and sum of fragments sizes is also
         unsigned.
      
      Make everything unsigned, leave no MOVSX instruction behind.

      netlink: smaller nla_attr_minlen table · 32d84cdc
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      Length of a netlink attribute may be u16 but lengths of basic attributes
      are much smaller, so small we can save 16 bytes of .rodata and pocket
      change inside .text.
      
      16-bit is worse on x86-64 than 8-bit because of operand size override prefix.

      netlink: use "unsigned int" in nla_next() · 3b2c75d3
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      ->nla_len is unsigned entity (it's length after all) and u16,
      thus it can't overflow when being aligned into int/unsigned int.
      
      (nlmsg_next has the same code, but I didn't yet convince myself
      it is correct to do so).
      
      There is pointer arithmetic in this function and offset being
      unsigned is better:

      ====================
      This feature patchset includes the following changes:
      
       - 6 patches adding functionality to detect a WiFi interface under
         other virtual interfaces, like VLANs. They introduce a cache for
         the detected the WiFi configuration to avoid RTNL locking in
         critical sections. Patches have been prepared by Marek Lindner
         and Sven Eckelmann
      
       - Enable automatic module loading for genl requests, by Sven Eckelmann
      
       - Fix a potential race condition on interface removal. This is not
         happening very often in practice, but requires bigger changes to fix,
         so we are sending this to net-next. By Linus Luessing

      af_packet: Use virtio_net_hdr_from_skb() directly. · 5a213881
      Jarno Rajahalme authored
      Remove static function __packet_rcv_vnet(), which only called
      virtio_net_hdr_from_skb() and BUG()ged out if an error code was
      returned.  Instead, call virtio_net_hdr_from_skb() from the former
      call sites of __packet_rcv_vnet() and actually use the error handling
      code that is already there.

      af_packet: Use virtio_net_hdr_to_skb(). · db60eb5f
      Jarno Rajahalme authored
      Use the common virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() instead of open coding it.
      Other call sites were changed by commit fd2a0437, but this one was
      missed, maybe because it is split in two parts of the source code.
      
      Interim comparisons of 'vnet_hdr->gso_type' still work as both the
      vnet_hdr and skb notion of gso_type is zero when there is no gso.
      
      Fixes: fd2a0437 ("virtio_net: introduce virtio_net_hdr_{from,to}_skb")
