net: copy userspace buffers on device forwarding

2011-09-15T18:49:44Z

dev_forward_skb loops an skb back into host networking stack which might hang on the memory indefinitely. In particular, this can happen in macvtap in bridged mode. Copy the userspace fragments to avoid blocking the sender in that case. As this patch makes skb_copy_ubufs extern now, I also added some documentation and made it clear the SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY flag automatically instead of doing it in all callers. This can be made into a separate patch if people feel it's worth it. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Convert struct net_device uc_promisc to bool

2011-07-25T23:17:35Z

No need to use int, its uses are boolean. May save a few bytes one day. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: unexport netdev_fix_features()

net: cleanup vlan_features setting in register_netdev

2011-07-14T21:41:11Z

vlan_features contains features inherited from underlying device. NETIF_SOFT_FEATURES are not inherited but belong to the vlan device itself (ensured in vlan_dev_fix_features()). Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add GSO to vlan_features initialization

2011-07-06T05:34:52Z

Just add GSO to vlan_features initialization, and update comments. When we set offload features, vlan_dev_fix_features() will do more check. In vlan_dev_fix_features(), final features is decided by features of real device and vlan_features of real device. Signed-off-by: Shan Wei Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnl: provide link dump consistency info

2011-07-01T22:39:53Z

This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place, the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages of the same dump. Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a complete list of links and not miss any. Testing: I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set. I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the wireless tree. I just wanted to give this some testing right away. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ip: introduce ip_is_fragment helper inline function

2011-06-22T03:33:34Z

There are enough instances of this: iph->frag_off & htons(IP_MF | IP_OFFSET) that a helper function is probably warranted. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

vlan: Fix the ingress VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR check

2011-06-11T23:15:50Z

Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag but rather in vlan_do_receive. Otherwise the vlan header will not be properly put on the packet in the case of vlan header accelleration. As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean. Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof and look at the wrong field. Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats for a multicast packet. Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove the code. Until then this keeps it working correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

v2 ethtool: remove support for ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE

2011-06-08T23:45:31Z

This change is meant to remove all support for displaying an ntuple as strings via ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE. The reason for this change is due to the fact that multiple issues have been found including: - Multiple buffer overruns for strings being displayed. - Incorrect filters displayed, cleared filters with ring of -2 are displayed - Setting get_rx_ntuple displays no rules if defined. - Endianess wrong on displayed values. - Hard limit of 1024 filters makes display functionality extremely limited The only driver that had supported this interface was ixgbe. Since it no longer uses the interface and due to the issues mentioned above I am submitting this patch to remove it. v2: Updated based on comments from Ben Hutchings - Left ETH_SS_NTUPLE_FILTERS in code but commented on it being deprecated - Removed ethtool_rx_ntuple_list and ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec_container - Left ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE but commented it as deprecated Also cleaned up set_rx_ntuple since there is no flow spec container to maintain we can drop all the code for the alloc and free of it and just return ops->set_rx_ntuple().
