Gave asynchronous operations approximate POSIX signal semantics. This
will enable us to cascade async operations, which is necessary in order to
properly support DNS. (For example, an HTTP request may have to redirect
to a new location and will have to perform a new DNS lookup, so we can't
just rely on doing the name lookup at the time of parsing the initial
URL).
Anything other than HTTP is probably broken right now; I'll fix the others
up asap.
Make TCP give up immediately when it receives -ENETUNREACH from
tcpip_tx(). This avoids the irritating wait when you accidentally type
"kernel pxelinux.0" before bringing up the network interface.
Add ENETUNREACH to strerror()'s list.
Add "name" field to struct device to allow human-readable hardware device
names.
Add "dev" pointer in struct net_device to tie network interfaces back to a
hardware device.
Force natural alignment of data types in __table() macros. This seems to
prevent gcc from taking the unilateral decision to occasionally increase
their alignment (which screws up the table packing).
"when SYN is ACKed and we have already received SYN", or
"when SYN is received and we have already had SYN ACKed"
rather than just
"when SYN is ACKed"
This avoids spuriously calling the connected() method when we receive
a RST,ACK in response to a SYN.
We can't assert that the RX engine is idle in iscsi_done(), because it
may be called during the RX data processor, before the RX engine
transitions back to idle. It doesn't really matter if the RX engine
isn't idle when iscsi_done() is called, because it will just pick up
where it left off on the next call. (The same is not true for the TX
engine, so keep the TX engine assertion.)
Truncate TX length to TCP window at time of transmission rather than at
time of adding to TX packet; this is conceptually cleaner and also allows
the application to call tcp_send() multiple times to build up a single
packet.
Redefine TCP state to include "flags that have been sent" rather than
"flags that are currently being sent". This allows at least one special
case (checking that we haven't already sent a FIN in tcp_rx_fin()) to be
collapsed.
