openvswitch: Use regular VXLAN net_device device

2015-07-21T17:39:07Z

This gets rid of all OVS specific VXLAN code in the receive and transmit path by using a VXLAN net_device to represent the vport. Only a small shim layer remains which takes care of handling the VXLAN specific OVS Netlink configuration. Unexports vxlan_sock_add(), vxlan_sock_release(), vxlan_xmit_skb() since they are no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnl: add link netns id to interface messages

2015-01-19T19:21:26Z

This patch adds a new attribute (IFLA_LINK_NETNSID) which contains the 'link' netns id when this netns is different from the netns where the interface stands (for example for x-net interfaces like ip tunnels). With this attribute, it's possible to interpret correctly all advertised information (like IFLA_LINK, etc.). Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: rtnetlink - make create_link take name_assign_type

2014-07-15T23:13:07Z

This passes down NET_NAME_USER (or NET_NAME_ENUM) to alloc_netdev(), for any device created over rtnetlink. v9: restore reverse-christmas-tree order of local variables Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnl: make ifla_policy static

2014-02-18T23:15:42Z

The only place this is used outside rtnetlink.c is veth. So provide wrapper function for this usage. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: provide api for getting and setting slave info

2014-01-23T05:57:05Z

Recent patch bonding: add netlink attributes to slave link dev (1d3ee88ae0d6) Introduced yet another device specific way to access slave information over rtnetlink. There is one already there for bridge. This patch introduces generic way to do this, for getting and setting info as well by extending link_ops. Later on, this new interface will be used for bridge ports as well. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: cleanup rntl_af_register

2014-01-02T04:42:19Z

The function __rtnl_af_register is never called outside this code, and the return value is always 0. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-23T05:51:09Z

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

rtnetlink: Remove passing of attributes into rtnl_doit functions

2013-03-22T14:31:16Z

With decnet converted, we can finally get rid of rta_buf and its computations around it. It also gets rid of the minimal header length verification since all message handlers do that explicitly anyway. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnelink: remove unused parameter from rtnl_create_link().

2012-11-30T17:24:40Z

This patch removes an unused parameter (src_net) from rtnl_create_link() method and from the method single invocation, in veth. This parameter was used in the past when calling ops->get_tx_queues(src_net, tb) in rtnl_create_link(). The get_tx_queues() member of rtnl_link_ops was replaced by two methods, get_num_tx_queues() and get_num_rx_queues(), which do not get any parameter. This was done in commit d40156aa5ecbd51fed932ed4813df82b56e5ff4d by Jiri Pirko ("rtnl: allow to specify different num for rx and tx queue count"). Signed-off-by: Rami Rosen Signed-off-by: David S.
