2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfsSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated accordingly. Issues and brief design overview: (1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there. (2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus, netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of _this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls. (3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt. (4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API, that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure. netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to be used from netconsole.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Support multiple logging targetsSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. This patch introduces support for multiple targets, independent of CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC -- this is useful even in the default case and (including the infrastructure introduced in previous patches) doesn't really add too many bytes to module text. All the complexity (and size) comes with the dynamic reconfigurability / userspace interface patch, and so it's plausible users may want to keep this enabled but that disabled (say to avoid a dependency on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS too). Also update documentation to mention the use of ";" separator to specify multiple logging targets in the boot/module option string. Brief overview: We maintain a target_list (and corresponding lock). Get rid of the static "default_target" and introduce allocation and release functions for our netconsole_target objects (but keeping sure to preserve previous behaviour such as default values). During init_netconsole(), ";" is used as the separator to identify multiple target specifications in the boot/module option string. The target specifications are parsed and netpolls setup. During exit, the target_list is torn down and all items released.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Introduce netconsole_netdev_notifierSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. To update fields of underlying netpoll structure at runtime on corresponding NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME notifications. ioctl(SIOCSIFHWADDR or SIOCSIFNAME) could be used to change the hardware/MAC address or name of the local interface that our netpoll is attached to. Whenever this happens, netdev notifier chain is called out with the NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME event message. We respond to that and update the local_mac or dev_name field of the struct netpoll. This makes sense anyway, but is especially required for dynamic netconsole because the netpoll structure's internal members become user visible files when either sysfs or configfs are used. So this helps us to keep up with the MAC address/name changes and keep values in struct netpoll uptodate. [ Note that ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) to change IP address of interface at runtime is not handled (to update local_ip of netpoll) on purpose -- some setups may set the local_ip to a private address, not necessary the actual IP address of the sender host, as presently allowed. ] Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma <satyam@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Introduce netconsole_targetSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. Introduce a wrapper structure over netpoll to represent logging targets configured in netconsole. This will get extended with other members in further patches. This is done independent of the (to-be-introduced) NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC config option so that we're able to drastically cut down on the #ifdef complexity of final netconsole.c. Also, struct netconsole_target would be required for multiple targets support also, and not just dynamic reconfigurability.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Simplify boot/module option setup logicSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. Presently, boot/module parameters are set up quite differently for the case of built-in netconsole (__setup() -> obsolete_checksetup() -> netpoll_parse_options() -> strlen(config) == 0 in init_netconsole()) vs modular netconsole (module_param_string() -> string copied to the config variable -> strlen(config) != 0 init_netconsole() -> netpoll_parse_options()). This patch makes both of them similar by doing exactly the equivalent of a module_param_string() in option_setup() also -- just copying the param string passed from the kernel command line into "config" variable. So, strlen(config) != 0 in both cases, and netpoll_parse_options() is always called from init_netconsole(), thus making the setup logic for both cases similar. Now, option_setup() is only ever called / used for the built-in case, so we put it inside a #ifndef MODULE, otherwise gcc will complain about option_setup() being "defined but not used". Also, the "configured" variable is redundant with this patch and hence removed.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Remove bogus checkSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. The (!np.dev) check in write_msg() is bogus (always false), because: np.dev is set by netpoll_setup(), which is called by init_netconsole() before register_console(), so write_msg() cannot be triggered unless netpoll_setup() successfully set np.dev. Also np.dev cannot go away from under us, because netpoll_setup() grabs us reference on it. So let's remove the bogus check.

2007-10-10[NET]: Virtual ethernet device driver.Pavel Emelyanov
Veth stands for Virtual ETHernet. It is a simple tunnel driver that works at the link layer and looks like a pair of ethernet devices interconnected with each other. Mainly it allows to communicate between network namespaces but it can be used as is as well. The newlink callback is organized that way to make it easy to create the peer device in the separate namespace when we have them in kernel. This implementation uses another interface - the RTM_NRELINK message introduced by Patric. Bug fixes from Daniel Lezcano.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device. With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier, Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim. Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra, Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan. [ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted.

2007-10-10[MAC80211]: improved short preamble handlingDaniel Drake
Similarly to CTS protection, whether short preambles are used for 802.11b transmissions should be a per-subif setting, not device global. For STAs, this patch makes short preamble handling automatic based on the ERP IE. For APs, hostapd still uses the prism ioctls, but the write ioctl has been restricted to AP-only subifs. ieee80211_txrx_data.short_preamble (an unused field) was removed. Unfortunately, some API changes were required for the following functions: - ieee80211_generic_frame_duration - ieee80211_rts_duration - ieee80211_ctstoself_duration - ieee80211_rts_get - ieee80211_ctstoself_get Affected drivers were updated accordingly.

2007-09-20[PPP] L2TP: Fix skb handling in pppol2tp_xmitHerbert Xu
This patch makes pppol2tp_xmit call skb_cow_head so that we don't modify cloned skb data. It also gets rid of skb2 we only need to preserve the original skb for congestion notification, which is only applicable for ppp_async and ppp_sync. The other semantic change made here is the removal of socket accounting for data tranmitted out of pppol2tp_xmit. The original code leaked any existing socket skb accounting. We could fix this by dropping the original skb owner. However, this is undesirable as the packet has not physically left the host yet. In fact, all other tunnels in the kernel do not account skb's passing through to their own socket. In partciular, ESP over UDP does not do so and it is the closest tunnel type to PPPoL2TP. So this patch simply removes the socket accounting in pppol2tp_xmit. The accounting still applies to control packets of course. I've also added a reminder that the outgoing checksum here doesn't work. I suppose existing deployments don't actually enable checksums.

2007-09-19r8169: workaround against ignored TxPoll writes (8168)Francois Romieu
The 8168 ignores the requests to fetch the Tx descriptors when the relevant TxPoll bit is already set. It easily kills the performances of the 8168. David Gundersen has noticed that it is enough to wait for the completion of the DMA transfer (NPQ bit is cleared) before writing the TxPoll register again. The extra IO traffic added by the proposed workaround could be minimalized but it is not a high-priority task.
