2010-02-28bridge: Split may_deliver/deliver_clone out of br_floodHerbert Xu
This patch moves the main loop body in br_flood into the function may_deliver. The code that clones an skb and delivers it is moved into the deliver_clone function. This allows this to be reused by the future multicast forward function. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-28bridge: Use BR_INPUT_SKB_CB on xmit pathHerbert Xu
this patch makes BR_INPUT_SKB_CB available on the xmit path so that we could avoid passing the br pointer around for the purpose of collecting device statistics. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-28bridge: Avoid unnecessary clone on forward pathHerbert Xu
When the packet is delivered to the local bridge device we may end up cloning it unnecessarily if no bridge port can receive the packet in br_flood. This patch avoids this by moving the skb_clone into br_flood. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-28bridge: Allow tail-call on br_pass_frame_upHerbert Xu
This patch allows tail-call on the call to br_pass_frame_up in br_handle_frame_finish. This is now possible because of the previous patch to call br_pass_frame_up last. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-28bridge: Do br_pass_frame_up after other portsHerbert Xu
At the moment we deliver to the local bridge port via the function br_pass_frame_up before all other ports. There is no requirement for this. For the purpose of IGMP snooping, it would be more convenient if we did the local port last. Therefore this patch rearranges the bridge input processing so that the local bridge port gets to see the packet last (if at all).

2010-02-27rtnetlink: support specifying device flags on device creationPatrick McHardy
commit e8469ed959c373c2ff9e6f488aa5a14971aebe1f Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Date: Tue Feb 23 20:41:30 2010 +0100 Support specifying the initial device flags when creating a device though rtnl_link. Devices allocated by rtnl_create_link() are marked as INITIALIZING in order to surpress netlink registration notifications. To complete setup, rtnl_configure_link() must be called, which performs the device flag changes and invokes the deferred notifiers if everything went well. Two examples: # add macvlan to eth0 # $ ip link add link eth0 up allmulticast on type macvlan [LINK]11: macvlan0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,ALLMULTI,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/ether 26:f8:84:02:f9:2a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [ROUTE]ff00::/8 dev macvlan0 table local metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [ROUTE]fe80::/64 dev macvlan0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [LINK]11: macvlan0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,ALLMULTI,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 link/ether 26:f8:84:02:f9:2a [ADDR]11: macvlan0 inet6 fe80::24f8:84ff:fe02:f92a/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever [ROUTE]local fe80::24f8:84ff:fe02:f92a via :: dev lo table local proto none metric 0 mtu 16436 advmss 16376 hoplimit 0 [ROUTE]default via fe80::215:e9ff:fef0:10f8 dev macvlan0 proto kernel metric 1024 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [NEIGH]fe80::215:e9ff:fef0:10f8 dev macvlan0 lladdr 00:15:e9:f0:10:f8 router STALE [ROUTE]2001:6f8:974::/64 dev macvlan0 proto kernel metric 256 expires 0sec mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [PREFIX]prefix 2001:6f8:974::/64 dev macvlan0 onlink autoconf valid 14400 preferred 131084 [ADDR]11: macvlan0 inet6 2001:6f8:974:0:24f8:84ff:fe02:f92a/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 86399sec preferred_lft 14399sec # add VLAN to eth1, eth1 is down # $ ip link add link eth1 up type vlan id 1000 RTNETLINK answers: Network is down <no events> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-02-27dev: support deferring device flag change notificationsPatrick McHardy
Split dev_change_flags() into two functions: __dev_change_flags() to perform the actual changes and __dev_notify_flags() to invoke netdevice notifiers. This will be used by rtnl_link to defer netlink notifications until the device has been fully configured. This changes ordering of some operations, in particular: - netlink notifications are sent after all changes have been performed. As a side effect this surpresses one unnecessary netlink message when the IFF_UP and other flags are changed simultaneously. - The NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_CHANGE notifiers are invoked after all changes have been performed. Their relative is unchanged. - net_dmaengine_put() is invoked before the NETDEV_DOWN notifier instead of afterwards. This should not make any difference since both RX and TX are already shut down at this point. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-27rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink notifications manuallyPatrick McHardy
In order to support specifying device flags during device creation, we must be able to roll back device registration in case setting the flags fails without sending any notifications related to the device to userspace. This patch changes rollback_registered_many() and register_netdevice() to manually send netlink notifications for devices not handled by rtnl_link and allows to defer notifications for devices handled by rtnl_link until setup is complete.

2010-02-27rtnetlink: ignore NETDEV_PRE_UP notifier in rtnetlink_event()Patrick McHardy
Commit 3b8bcfd (net: introduce pre-up netdev notifier) added a new notifier which is run before a device is set UP for use by cfg80211. The patch missed to add the new notifier to the ignore list in rtnetlink_event(), so we currently get an unnecessary netlink notification before a device is set UP.

2010-02-26mac80211: use listen interval 5 as defaultHelmut Schaa
Currently if a driver does not set hw.max_listen_interval a listen interval of 1 is negotiated with the AP. Thus, the AP could drop buffered frames for us after just one beacon interval which can easily happen with the current powersave and scan implementation. To avoid this issue increase the default interval to 5 which should be a reasonable safe default. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Clients will set their MTU to 1280 if they receive a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG message with an MTU less than 1280. To allow encapsulating of packets over a 1280 link we should always accept packets with a size of 1280 for forwarding even if the path has a lower MTU and fragment the encapsulated packets afterwards. In case a forwarded packet is not going to be encapsulated a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG msg will still be send by ip6_fragment() with the correct MTU.

2010-02-23net: bug fix for vlan + gro issueAjit Khaparde
Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled. Even the tcp handshake was not taking place. This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source. I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7. With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan and non-vlan interfaces.
