2010-02-16CAPI: Rework locking of controller data structuresJan Kiszka
This patch applies the mutex so far only protecting the controller list to (almost) all accesses of controller data structures. It also reworks waiting on state changes in old_capi_manufacturer so that it no longer poll and holds a module reference to the controller owner while waiting (the latter was partly done already). Modification and checking of the blocked state remains racy by design, the caller is responsible for dealing with this. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-02-16CAPI: Rework controller state notifierJan Kiszka
Another step towards proper locking: Rework the callback provided to capidrv for controller state changes. This is so far attached to an application, which would require us to hold the corresponding lock across notification calls. But there is no direct relation between a controller up/down event and an application, so let's decouple them and provide a notifier call chain for those events instead. This notifier chain is first of all used internally. Here we request the highest priority to unsure that housekeeping work is done before any other notifications. The chain is exported via [un]register_capictr_notifier to our only user, capidrv, to replace the racy and unfixable capi20_set_callback.

2010-02-16net neigh: Decouple per interface neighbour table controls from binary sysctlsEric W. Biederman
Stop computing the number of neighbour table settings we have by counting the number of binary sysctls. This behaviour was silly and meant that we could not add another neighbour table setting without also adding another binary sysctl. Don't pass the binary sysctl path for neighour table entries into neigh_sysctl_register. These parameters are no longer used and so are just dead code. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2010-02-16net ipv4: Decouple ipv4 interface parameters from binary sysctl numbersEric W. Biederman
Stop using the binary sysctl enumeartion in sysctl.h as an index into a per interface array. This leads to unnecessary binary sysctl number allocation, and a fragility in data structure and implementation because of unnecessary coupling. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2010-02-15netfilter: CONFIG_COMPAT: allow delta to exceed 32767Florian Westphal
with 32 bit userland and 64 bit kernels, it is unlikely but possible that insertion of new rules fails even tough there are only about 2000 iptables rules. This happens because the compat delta is using a short int. Easily reproducible via "iptables -m limit" ; after about 2050 rules inserting new ones fails with -ELOOP. Note that compat_delta included 2 bytes of padding on x86_64, so structure size remains the same. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

This patch adds GSO/checksum offload to af_packet sockets using virtio_net_hdr. Based on Rusty's patch to add this support to tun. It allows GSO/checksum offload to be enabled when using raw socket backend with virtio_net. Adds PACKET_VNET_HDR socket option to prepend virtio_net_hdr in the receive path and process/skip virtio_net_hdr in the send path. This option is only allowed with SOCK_RAW sockets attached to ethernet type devices. v2 updates ---------- Michael's Comments - Perform length check in packet_snd() when GSO is off even when vnet_hdr is present. - Check for SKB_GSO_FCOE type and return -EINVAL - don't allow tx/rx ring when vnet_hdr is enabled.

2010-02-04net: use helpers to access mc list V2Jiri Pirko
This patch introduces the similar helpers as those already done for uc list. However multicast lists are no list_head lists but "mademanually". The three macros added by this patch will make the transition of mc_list to list_head smooth in two steps: 1) convert all drivers to use these macros (with the original iterator of type "struct dev_mc_list") 2) once all drivers are converted, convert list type and iterators to "struct netdev_hw_addr" in one patch. >From now on, drivers can (and should) use "netdev_for_each_mc_addr" to iterate over the addresses with iterator of type "struct netdev_hw_addr". Also macros "netdev_mc_count" and "netdev_mc_empty" to read list's length. This is the state which should be reached in all drivers.

2010-02-03net: macvtap driverArnd Bergmann
In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend with a character device with the same interface as the tun driver, with a minimum set of features. Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a handle for configuration and accounting, while the data goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its own character device, simplifying permission management significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about (un)registered events from connector. Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some other clients were (un)registered.
