2009-05-19sit: strictly restrict incoming traffic to tunnel link deviceSascha Hlusiak
Check link device when looking up a tunnel. When a tunnel is linked to a interface, traffic from a different interface must not reach the tunnel. This also allows creating of multiple tunnels with the same endpoints, if the link device differs. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hlusiak <contact@saschahlusiak.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-05-19ipv4: teach ipconfig about the MTU option in DHCPChris Friesen
The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU. This can be useful for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames. This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option correctly. It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU, but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would. This patch was originally submitted to LKML in 2003 by Hans-Peter Jansen. Signed-off-by: Chris Friesen <cfriesen@nortel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-19net: use NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE in nlmsg_new() allocationsPablo Neira Ayuso
nlmsg_new() adds the size of the netlink header to the value that has been passed as parameter. If NLMSG_GOODSIZE is selected, we request an allocation of one memory page plus the size of the header. Instead, NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE should be used since it already substracts the size of the Netlink header. I have the impression that the similar naming in both constant is error prone when using it with nlmsg_new().

2009-05-19r8169: allow true forced mode settingfrançois romieu
Due to mostly historic reasons, including a lack of reliability of the link handling (especially with the older 8169), the current r8169 driver emulates forced mode setting by limiting the advertised modes. With this change the driver allows real 10/100 forced mode settings on the 8169 and 8101/8102. Original idea by Vincent Steenhoute. The RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_03 tweak was extracted from Realtek's r8169 v6.010.00 driver.

2009-05-18net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()Eric Dumazet
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb). CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device, since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs. It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions. David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq() (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit(). List of devices that must clear this flag is : - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick : "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets already need to have a dst_entry attached." - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-05-18net: FIX bonding sysfs rtnl_lock deadlockEric W. Biederman
Sysfs files for a network device can not unconditionally take the rtnl_lock as the bonding sysfs files do. If someone accesses those sysfs files while the network device is being unregistered with the rtnl_lock held we will deadlock. So use trylock and restart_syscall to avoid this problem.

2009-05-18net: Fix devinet_sysctl_forwardEric W. Biederman
sysctls are unregistered with the rntl_lock held making it unsafe to unconditionally grab the the rtnl_lock. Instead we need to call rtnl_trylock and restart the system call if we can not grab it.

2009-05-18net: FIX ipv6_forward sysctl restartEric W. Biederman
Just returning -ERESTARTSYS without a signal pending is not good that will just leak it to userspace. We need return -ERESTARTNOINTR so we always restart and set signal pending so that we fall of the fast path of syscall return and setup the system call restart. So use restart_syscall() which does all of this for us. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-18net-sysfs: Use rtnl_trylock in sysfs methods.Eric W. Biederman
The earlier patch to fix the deadlock between a network device going away and writing to sysfs attributes was incomplete. - It did not set signal_pending so we would leak ERSTARTSYS to user space. - It used ERESTARTSYS which only restarts if sigaction configures it to. - It did not cover store and show for ifalias. So fix all of these up and use the new helper restart_syscall so we get the details correct on what it takes. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

(Two cache lines dirtied in tx path, we can do one only) Better solution is to add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped in struct netdev_queue because this structure is already touched in tx path and counters updates will then be free (no increase in size) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

One of the purposes of bonding is to allow for redundant links, and failover correctly if the cable is pulled. If all the members of a bonded device have no carrier present, the bonded device itself needs to report no carrier present to user space so management tools (like routing daemons) can respond. Bonding in 802.3ad mode does not work correctly for this because it incorrectly chooses a link that is down as a possible aggregator.

If bridge is configured with no STP and forwarding delay of 0 (which is typical for virtualization) then when link starts it will flood all packets for the first 20 seconds. This bug was introduced by a combination of earlier changes: * forwarding database uses hold time of zero to indicate user wants to always flood packets * optimzation of the case of forwarding delay of 0 avoids the initial timer tick The fix is to just skip all the topology change detection code if kernel STP is not being used.
