openvswitch: Remove unneeded ovs_netdev_get_ifindex()

2013-04-30T04:19:11Z

The only user is get_dpifindex(), no need to redirect via the port operations. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

openvswitch: Use parallel_ops genl.

2013-04-25T05:43:15Z

OVS locking was recently changed to have private OVS lock which simplified overall locking. Therefore there is no need to have another global genl lock to protect OVS data structures. Following patch uses of parallel_ops genl family for OVS. This also allows more granual OVS locking using ovs_mutex for protecting OVS data structures, which gives more concurrencey. E.g multiple genl operations OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE can run in parallel, etc. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2013-04-23T00:32:51Z

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/mac80211_if.c include/net/scm.h net/batman-adv/routing.c net/ipv4/tcp_input.c The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around. The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next. An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that code. Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first argument. Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes. Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several of these merge resolutions. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: vlan: add protocol argument to packet tagging functions

2013-04-19T18:46:06Z

Add a protocol argument to the VLAN packet tagging functions. In case of HW tagging, we need that protocol available in the ndo_start_xmit functions, so it is stored in a new field in the skb. The new field fits into a hole (on 64 bit) and doesn't increase the sks's size. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

openvswitch: Simplify datapath locking.

2013-04-15T21:38:40Z

Currently OVS uses combination of genl and rtnl lock to protect datapath state. This was done due to networking stack locking. But this has complicated locking and there are few lock ordering issues with new tunneling protocols. Following patch simplifies locking by introducing new ovs mutex and now this lock is used to protect entire ovs state. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

openvswitch: Refine Netlink message size calculation and kill FLOW_BUFSIZE

2013-03-30T00:53:57Z

Kills the FLOW_BUFSIZE constant which needs to be calculated manually and replaces it with key_attr_size() based on nla_total_size(). Calculates the size of datapath messages instead of relying on NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE and moves the existing message size calculations into own functions for clarity.

openvswitch: Use nla_memcpy() to memcpy() data from attributes

2013-03-30T00:53:46Z

Less error prone as it takes into account the length of both the destination buffer and the source attribute and documents when data is copied from an attribute. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

openvswitch: Specify the minimal length of OVS_PACKET_ATTR_PACKET in the policy

2013-03-30T00:53:18Z

Specifying the minimal length in the policy makes it reuseable and documents the interface. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

net: add ETH_P_802_3_MIN

2013-03-28T05:20:42Z

Add a new constant ETH_P_802_3_MIN, the minimum ethernet type for an 802.3 frame. Frames with a lower value in the ethernet type field are Ethernet II. Also update all the users of this value that David Miller and I could find to use the new constant. Also correct a bug in util.c. The comparison with ETH_P_802_3_MIN should be >= not >. As suggested by Jesse Gross. Compile tested only. Cc: David Miller Cc: Jesse Gross Cc: Karsten Keil Cc: John W.
