With this patch, scanning with mshX interface will only return mesh networks. To
differentiate them, a specific mesh IE in beacons/probe responses is used. This
IE has been introduced in firmware release 5.110.14. Note:
Even though there can be at most a single mesh per channel, this scan might
return several networks in the same channel.
If all nodes in a mesh network are associated to an AP, they won't produce
beacons/probe responses, thus the network will not be listed. This will be fixed
in future firmware releases.
Scan on ethX interface is not filtered, so it will list both mesh and non-mesh
networks.

Replacing accesses to dev->priv to netdev_priv(dev). The replacment
is safe when netdev_priv is used to access a private structure that is
right next to the net_device structure in memory. Cf
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.development.system/browse_thread/thread/de19321bcd94dbb8/0d74a4adcd6177bd
This is the case when the net_device structure was allocated with

While in monitor mode the zd1211rw received only a limited
set of packets. This patch forwards now all packets the device
receives. Notify that while monitoring no FCS checks are done; so
strange packets might appear in the network sniffer of your
choice.
ATTENTION: Support for multiple interfaces on a single ZD1211
device is currently broken. So this code works only on the first
interface.
Here is an example to put the device in monitor mode.
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 channel 10

This patch introduces NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL a flag to indicate
a network device is local to a single network namespace and
should never be moved. Useful for pseudo devices that we
need an instance in each network namespace (like the loopback
device) and for any device we find that cannot handle multiple
network namespaces so we may trap them in the initial network
namespace.
This patch introduces the function dev_change_net_namespace
a function used to move a network device from one network
namespace to another. To the network device nothing
special appears to happen, to the components of the network
stack it appears as if the network device was unregistered
in the network namespace it is in, and a new device
was registered in the network namespace the device
was moved to.
This patch sets up a namespace device destructor that
upon the exit of a network namespace moves all of the
movable network devices to the initial network namespace
so they are not lost.

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables. The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl
were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.
vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.
So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.
For now the ifindex generator is left global.
Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.
At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
this includes the controlling kernel sockets.
This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
to only support the initial network namespace. Request
by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
that netlink protocol compiled in.
As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.
The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.
To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.
As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.
Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.
Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

This dongle does not follow the usb-irda specification, so it needs its own
special driver. First, it uses control URBs for data transfer, instead of
bulk or interrupt transfers; the only interrupt endpoint exposed seems to
be a dummy to prevent the interface from being rejected. Second, it uses
obfuscation and padding at the USB traffic level, for no apparent reason
other than to make reverse engineering harder (full details on obfuscation
in comments at beginning of source). Although it is advertised as a "4 Mbps
FIR dongle", it apparently loses packets at speeds greater than 57600 bps.
On plugin, this dongle reports vendor and device IDs: 0x07d0:0x4959 .

This dongle does not follow the usb-irda specification, so it needs its own
special driver. Just like the Kingsun/Donshine dongle, it exposes two
interrupt endpoints. Reception is performed through direct reads from the
input endpoint. Transmission requires splitting the IrDA frames into 8-byte
segments, in which the first byte encodes how many of the remaining 7 bytes
are used as data. Speed change is made with a control URB just like the one
in cypress_m8, and it seems to support up to 115200 bps.

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
This patch introduces support for multiple targets, independent of
CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC -- this is useful even in the default case and
(including the infrastructure introduced in previous patches) doesn't really
add too many bytes to module text. All the complexity (and size) comes with
the dynamic reconfigurability / userspace interface patch, and so it's
plausible users may want to keep this enabled but that disabled (say to avoid
a dependency on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS too).
Also update documentation to mention the use of ";" separator to specify
multiple logging targets in the boot/module option string.
Brief overview:
We maintain a target_list (and corresponding lock). Get rid of the static
"default_target" and introduce allocation and release functions for our
netconsole_target objects (but keeping sure to preserve previous behaviour
such as default values). During init_netconsole(), ";" is used as the
separator to identify multiple target specifications in the boot/module option
string. The target specifications are parsed and netpolls setup. During
exit, the target_list is torn down and all items released.

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
To update fields of underlying netpoll structure at runtime on corresponding
NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME notifications.
ioctl(SIOCSIFHWADDR or SIOCSIFNAME) could be used to change the hardware/MAC
address or name of the local interface that our netpoll is attached to.
Whenever this happens, netdev notifier chain is called out with the
NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME event message. We respond to that and
update the local_mac or dev_name field of the struct netpoll. This makes
sense anyway, but is especially required for dynamic netconsole because the
netpoll structure's internal members become user visible files when either
sysfs or configfs are used. So this helps us to keep up with the MAC
address/name changes and keep values in struct netpoll uptodate.
[ Note that ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) to change IP address of interface at
runtime is not handled (to update local_ip of netpoll) on purpose --
some setups may set the local_ip to a private address, not necessary
the actual IP address of the sender host, as presently allowed. ]

Introduce a wrapper structure over netpoll to represent logging targets
configured in netconsole. This will get extended with other members in
further patches.
This is done independent of the (to-be-introduced) NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC config
option so that we're able to drastically cut down on the #ifdef complexity of
final netconsole.c. Also, struct netconsole_target would be required for
multiple targets support also, and not just dynamic reconfigurability.

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
Presently, boot/module parameters are set up quite differently for the case of
built-in netconsole (__setup() -> obsolete_checksetup() ->
netpoll_parse_options() -> strlen(config) == 0 in init_netconsole()) vs
modular netconsole (module_param_string() -> string copied to the config
variable -> strlen(config) != 0 init_netconsole() -> netpoll_parse_options()).
This patch makes both of them similar by doing exactly the equivalent of a
module_param_string() in option_setup() also -- just copying the param string
passed from the kernel command line into "config" variable. So,
strlen(config) != 0 in both cases, and netpoll_parse_options() is always
called from init_netconsole(), thus making the setup logic for both cases
similar.
Now, option_setup() is only ever called / used for the built-in case, so we
put it inside a #ifndef MODULE, otherwise gcc will complain about
option_setup() being "defined but not used". Also, the "configured" variable
is redundant with this patch and hence removed.

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
The (!np.dev) check in write_msg() is bogus (always false), because: np.dev is
set by netpoll_setup(), which is called by init_netconsole() before
register_console(), so write_msg() cannot be triggered unless netpoll_setup()
successfully set np.dev. Also np.dev cannot go away from under us, because
netpoll_setup() grabs us reference on it. So let's remove the bogus check.

Veth stands for Virtual ETHernet. It is a simple tunnel driver
that works at the link layer and looks like a pair of ethernet
devices interconnected with each other.
Mainly it allows to communicate between network namespaces but
it can be used as is as well.
The newlink callback is organized that way to make it easy to
create the peer device in the separate namespace when we have
them in kernel.
This implementation uses another interface - the RTM_NRELINK
message introduced by Patric.

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.
With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.
Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.
[ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted. Integrated
Stephen's follow-on kerneldoc additions, and restored poll_list
handling to the old style to fix mutual exclusion issues. -DaveM ]
