[PATCH 1/8] AF_RXRPC: Move generic skbuff stuff from XFRM code to generic code [try #2]

2007-04-03 Thread David Howells
Move generic skbuff stuff from XFRM code to generic code so that AF_RXRPC can use it too. The kdoc comments I've attached to the functions needs to be checked by whoever wrote them as I had to make some guesses about the workings of these functions. Signed-Off-By: David Howells [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PATCH 3/8] AF_RXRPC: Key facility changes for AF_RXRPC [try #2]

2007-04-03 Thread David Howells
Export the keyring key type definition and document its availability. Add alternative types into the key's type_data union to make it more useful. Not all users necessarily want to use it as a list_head (AF_RXRPC doesn't, for example), so make it clear that it can be used in other ways.

[PATCH 2/8] AF_RXRPC: Make it possible to merely try to cancel timers and delayed work [try #2]

2007-04-03 Thread David Howells
Export try_to_del_timer_sync() for use by the RxRPC module. Add a try_to_cancel_delayed_work() so that it is possible to merely attempt to cancel a delayed work timer. Signed-Off-By: David Howells [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- include/linux/workqueue.h | 21 + kernel/timer.c

[PATCH 6/8] AF_RXRPC: Add an interface to the AF_RXRPC module for the AFS filesystem to use [try #2]

2007-04-03 Thread David Howells
Add an interface to the AF_RXRPC module so that the AFS filesystem module can more easily make use of the services available. AFS still opens a socket but then uses the action functions in lieu of sendmsg() and registers an intercept functions to grab messages before they're queued on the socket

[PATCH 0/8] AF_RXRPC socket family and AFS rewrite [try #2]

2007-04-03 Thread David Howells
The first of these patches together provide secure client-side RxRPC connectivity as a Linux kernel socket family. Only the RxRPC transport/session side is supplied - the presentation side (marshalling the data) is left to the client. Copies of the patches can be found here:
