2008-04-16[VLAN]: Tag vlan_group_device with net device, not ifindex.Pavel Emelyanov
Currently vlan group is searched using one key - the ifindex. We'll have to lookup the vlan_group by two keys - ifindex and net. Turning the vlan_group lookup key to struct net_device pointer will make this process easier. Besides, this will eliminate one more place in the networking, that assumes that indexes are unique in the kernel.

2008-03-26[VLAN]: Reduce memory consumed by vlan_groupsPavel Emelyanov
Currently each vlan_groupd contains 8 pointers on arrays with 512 pointers on struct net_device each :) Such a construction "in many cases ... wastes memory". My proposal is to allow for some of these arrays pointers be NULL, meaning that there are no devices in it. When a new device is added to the vlan_group, the appropriate array is allocated. The check in vlan_group_get_device's is safe, since the pointer vg->vlan_devices_arrays[x] can only switch from NULL to not-NULL. The vlan_group_prealloc_vid() is guarded with rtnl lock and is also safe. I've checked (I hope that) all the places, that use these arrays and found, that the register_vlan_dev is the only place, that can put a vlan device on an empty vlan_group. Rough calculations shows, that after the patch a setup with a single vlan dev (or up to 512 vlans with sequential vids) will occupy approximately 8 times less memory. The question I have is - does this patch makes sense, or a totally new structures are required to store the vlan_devs?

2008-01-28[VLAN]: Simplify vlan unregistrationPatrick McHardy
Keep track of the number of VLAN devices in a vlan group. This allows to have the caller sense when the group is going to be destroyed and stop using it, which in turn allows to remove the wrapper around unregister_vlan_dev for the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier and avoid iterating over all possible VLAN ids whenever a device in unregistered. Also fix what looks like a use-after-free (but is actually safe since we're holding the RTNL), the real_dev reference should not be dropped while we still use it.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman
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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-07-14[VLAN]: Fix promiscous/allmulti synchronization racesPatrick McHardy

2007-07-11[VLAN]: Fix MAC address handlingPatrick McHardy
The VLAN MAC address handling is broken in multiple ways. When the address differs when setting it, the real device is put in promiscous mode twice, but never taken out again. Additionally it doesn't resync when the real device's address is changed and needlessly puts it in promiscous mode when the vlan device is still down. Fix by moving address handling to vlan_dev_open/vlan_dev_stop and properly deal with address changes in the device notifier. Also switch to dev_unicast_add (which needs the exact same handling). Since the set_mac_address handler is identical to the generic ethernet one with these changes, kill it and use ether_setup(). Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

For the places where we need a pointer to the mac header, it is still legal to touch skb->mac.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it to another layer header. This one also converts some more cases to skb_reset_mac_header() that my regex missed as it had no spaces before nor after '=', ugh.

2007-03-02[VLAN]: Avoid a 4-order allocation.Dan Aloni
This patch splits the vlan_group struct into a multi-allocated struct. On x86_64, the size of the original struct is a little more than 32KB, causing a 4-order allocation, which is prune to problems caused by buddy-system external fragmentation conditions. I couldn't just use vmalloc() because vfree() cannot be called in the softirq context of the RCU callback.

2006-08-17[VLAN]: Make sure bonding packet drop checks get done in hwaccel RX path.David S. Miller
Since __vlan_hwaccel_rx() is essentially bypassing the netif_receive_skb() call that would have occurred if we did the VLAN decapsulation in software, we are missing the skb_bond() call and the assosciated checks it does. Export those checks via an inline function, skb_bond_should_drop(), and use this in __vlan_hwaccel_rx(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-07-14[VLAN]: __vlan_hwaccel_rx can use the faster ether_compare_addrStephen Hemminger

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
