2011-10-31Cache network interface informationUlrich Drepper
Whenever getaddrinfo needed network interface information it used the netlink interface to read the information every single time. The problem is that this information can change at any time. The patch implements monitoring of the network interfaces through nscd. If no change is detected the previously read information can be reused (which is the norm). This timestamp information is also made available to other processes using the shared memory segment between nscd and those processes.
2007-11-14* include/ifaddrs.h: Remove in6ai_temporary.Ulrich Drepper
(struct in6addrinfo): Add index element. Declare __check_native. * inet/Makefile (aux): Add check_native. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check_native.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check_pf.c: No need to recognize IFA_F_TEMPORARY. Pass back ifa_index. * sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c: Remove netlink compatibility code. (rfc3484_sort): Add new parameter. Implement rule 7 correctly: call __check_native if necessary. (getaddrinfo): Fill in index field. Use qsort_r instead of qsort to sort addresses. Pass information about the results. * posix/tst-rfc3484.c: Adjust for addition of index field and change of rfc3484_sort interface. * posix/tst-rfc3484-2.c: Likewise.
2007-11-12(struct in6addrinfo): Add prefixlen field.Ulrich Drepper
2006-09-24* sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c (rfc3484_sort): Implement rule 4,Ulrich Drepper
home addresses. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check_pf.c (make_request): Recognize IFA_F_HOMEADDRESS flag for interfaces. * include/ifaddrs.h (struct in6addrinfo): Define in6ai_homeaddress.
2006-04-20* include/ifaddrs.h: Get uint32_t definition.Ulrich Drepper
* posix/tst-rfc3484.c: Update fake __check_pf implementation. * posix/tst-rfc3484-2.c: Likewise.
2006-04-16* include/ifaddrs.h: Define struct in6addrinfo.Ulrich Drepper
Add two more parameters to __check_pf. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check_pf.c: When using the netlink interface, determine whether IPv6 addresses are deprecated or temporary. Create array of those addresses. * inet/check_pf.c: Always tell caller there are no depracated and temporary addresses. * sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c: Pretty printing. (struct sort_result): Add source_addr_flags field. (rfc3484_sort): Implement rule 3 and 7. (in6aicmp): New function. (getaddrinfo): Call __check_pf also when we need info about IPv6 source addresses. When creating array for sorting addresses, look up deprecated and temporary addresses returned by __check_pf and add flag if necessary.
2004-12-22(CFLAGS-tst-align.c): Add -mpreferred-stack-boundary=4.Ulrich Drepper
2007-07-122.5-18.1Jakub Jelinek
2003-06-10Update.Ulrich Drepper
* inet/Makefile (aux): Add check_fd. * include/ifaddrs.h: Add prototype for __check_fd. * sysdeps/generic/check_fd.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check_fd.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ifaddrs.h (__no_netlink_support): Renamed from no_netlink_support. Export. * sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c (getaddrinfo): Don't call getifaddrs, call __check_pf. * sysdeps/generic/ifaddrs.h: Add libc_hidden_def.
