Hi everyone, This is a set of changes for network drivers and core code to get rid of the use of time_t and derived data structures. I have a longer set of patches that enables me to build kernels with the time_t definition removed completely as a help to find y2038 overflow issues. This is the subset for networking that contains all code that has a reasonable way of fixing at the moment and that is either commonly used (in one of the defconfigs) or that blocks building a whole subsystem. Most of the patches in this series should be noncontroversial, but the last two that I marked [RFC] are a bit tricky and need input from people that are more familiar with the code than I am. All 12 patches are independent of one another and can be applied in any order, so feel free to pick all that look good. Patches that are not included here are: - disabling less common device drivers that I don't have a fix for yet, this includes drivers/net/ethernet/brocade/bna/bfa_ioc.c drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/netxen/netxen_nic_hw.c drivers/net/ethernet/tile/tilegx.c drivers/net/hamradio/baycom_ser_fdx.c drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.h drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ drivers/net/wireless/atmel.c drivers/net/wireless/prism54/isl_38xx.c drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00debug.c drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/ drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/ drivers/staging/ozwpan/ net/atm/mpoa_caches.c net/atm/mpoa_proc.c net/dccp/probe.c net/ipv4/tcp_probe.c net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue_core.c net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue_core.c net/netfilter/xt_time.c net/openvswitch/flow.c net/sctp/probe.c net/sunrpc/auth_gss/ net/sunrpc/svcauth_unix.c net/vmw_vsock/af_vsock.c We'll get there eventually, or we an add a dependency to ensure they are not built on 32-bit kernels that need to survive beyond 2038. Most of these should be really easy to fix. - recvmmsg/sendmmsg system calls: patches have been sent out as part of the syscall series, need a little more work and review - SIOCGSTAMP/SIOCGSTAMPNS/ ioctl calls: tricky, need to discuss with some folks at kernel summit - SO_RCVTIMEO/SO_SNDTIMEO/SO_TIMESTAMP/SO_TIMESTAMPNS socket opt: similar and related to the ioctl - mmapped packet socket: need to create v4 of the API, nontrivial - pktgen: sends 32-bit timestamps over network, need to find out if using unsigned stamps is good enough - af_rxpc: similar to pktgen, uses 32-bit times for deadlines - ppp ioctl: patch is being worked on, nontrivial but doable Arnd Arnd Bergmann (12): net: fec: avoid timespec use net: stmmac: avoid using timespec net: igb: avoid using timespec mwifiex: use ktime_get_real for timestamping mwifiex: avoid gettimeofday in ba_threshold setting mac80211: use ktime_get_seconds atm: hide 'struct zatm_t_hist' nfnetlink: use y2038 safe timestamp ipv6: use ktime_t for internal timestamps net: sctp: avoid incorrect time_t use [RFC] ipv4: avoid timespec in timestamp computation [RFC] can: avoid using timeval for uapi drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_ptp.c | 6 ++-- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb.h | 4 +-- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c | 15 +++++----- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_ptp.c | 8 +++--- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c | 8 ++++-- drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/11n_aggr.c | 4 +-- drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/wmm.c | 15 +++------- include/linux/timekeeping.h | 2 ++ include/uapi/linux/atm_zatm.h | 3 +- include/uapi/linux/can/bcm.h | 7 ++++- kernel/time/timekeeping.c | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++ net/can/bcm.c | 15 ++++++---- net/ipv4/icmp.c | 8 ++---- net/ipv4/ip_options.c | 9 ++---- net/ipv6/mip6.c | 16 +++++------ net/mac80211/sta_info.c | 8 ++---- net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c | 6 ++-- net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c | 2 +- net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c | 2 +- 19 files changed, 99 insertions(+), 73 deletions(-) Cc: coreteam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: intel-wired-lan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-api@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-atm-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-can@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-sctp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: netfilter-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 2.1.0.rc2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
