Added a large number of missing calls to free_pkb(). In the case of UDP,
no received packets were ever freed, which lead to memory exhaustion
remarkably quickly once pxelinux started up.
In general, any function with _rx() in its name which accepts a pk_buff
*must* either call free_pkb() or pass the pkb to another _rx() function
(e.g. the next layer up the stack). Since the UDP (and TCP) layers don't
pass packet buffers up to the higher-layer protocols (the
"applications"), they must free the packet buffer after calling the
application's newdata() method.
Kill off the static single net device and move to proper dynamic
registration (which we need with the new device model).
Break the (flawed) assumption that all network-layer protocols can use
ARP; such network-layer protocols (i.e. IPv4) must now register as an ARP
protocol using ARP_NET_PROTOCOL() and provide a single method for checking
the existence of a local network-layer address.
implementation allows for only one, and does so without compromising on
the efficiency of static allocation).
Link-layer protocols are cleanly separated from the device drivers.
Network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from individual network
devices.
Link-layer and network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from each
other.
