irda: move net/irda/ to drivers/staging/irda/net/

2017-08-28T23:42:56+00:00

It's time to get rid of IRDA. It's long been broken, and no one seems to use it anymore. So move it to staging and after a while, we can delete it from there. To start, move the network irda core from net/irda to drivers/staging/irda/net/ Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

irda: Convert IRDA_DEBUG to pr_debug

2014-11-12T18:56:41+00:00

Use the normal kernel debugging mechanism which also enables dynamic_debug at the same time. Other miscellanea: o Remove sysctl for irda_debug o Remove function tracing like uses (use ftrace instead) o Coalesce formats o Realign arguments o Remove unnecessary OOM messages Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Convert uses of typedef ctl_table to struct ctl_table

2013-06-13T09:36:09+00:00

Reduce the uses of this unnecessary typedef. Done via perl script: $ git grep --name-only -w ctl_table net | \ xargs perl -p -i -e '\ sub trim { my ($local) = @_; $local =~ s/(^\s+|\s+$)//g; return $local; } \ s/\b(? Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Convert all sysctl registrations to register_net_sysctl

2012-04-21T01:22:30+00:00

This results in code with less boiler plate that is a bit easier to read. Additionally stops us from using compatibility code in the sysctl core, hastening the day when the compatibility code can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Move all of the network sysctls without a namespace into init_net.

2012-04-21T01:21:17+00:00

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network namespace. This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the initial network namespace in other namespaces. This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to userspace and I can't honestly remember why we didn't do this for sysctls right from the start. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

IRDA: Fix global type conflicts in net/irda/irsysctl.c v2

2011-09-16T23:17:09+00:00

The externs here didn't agree with the declarations in qos.c. Better would be probably to move this into a header, but since it's common practice to have naked externs with sysctls I left it for now. Cc: samuel@sortiz.org Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sysctl net: Remove unused binary sysctl code

2009-11-12T10:05:06+00:00

Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be revmoed. In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not to pass one.

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler

2009-09-24T14:21:04+00:00

It's unused. It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl shouldn't care about the rest. It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

net: '&' redux

2008-11-04T02:21:05+00:00

I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of & will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break compilation. So, drop & in front of every ->proc_handler and every ->strategy handler, it was never needed in fact. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IrDA]: LMP discovery timer not started by default

2008-01-28T23:10:54+00:00

By default, LMP sets up a 3 seconds timer for discovery. We don't need it until discovery is set to 1. Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
