2008-10-09gre: Add Transparent Ethernet BridgingHerbert Xu
This patch adds support for Ethernet over GRE encapsulation. This is exposed to user-space with a new link type of "gretap" instead of "gre". It will create an ARPHRD_ETHER device in lieu of the usual ARPHRD_IPGRE. Note that to preserver backwards compatibility all Transparent Ethernet Bridging packets are passed to an ARPHRD_IPGRE tunnel if its key matches and there is no ARPHRD_ETHER device whose key matches more closely.

2008-10-09gre: Add netlink interfaceHerbert Xu
This patch adds a netlink interface that will eventually displace the existing ioctl interface. It utilises the elegant rtnl_link_ops mechanism. This also means that user-space no longer needs to rely on the tunnel interface being of type GRE to identify GRE tunnels. The identification can now occur using rtnl_link_ops.

2008-10-08dsa: add support for Trailer tagging formatLennert Buytenhek
This adds support for the Trailer switch tagging format. This is another tagging that doesn't explicitly mark tagged packets with a distinct ethertype, so that we need to add a similar hack in the receive path as for the Original DSA tagging format.

2008-10-08dsa: add support for original DSA tagging formatLennert Buytenhek
Most of the DSA switches currently in the field do not support the Ethertype DSA tagging format that one of the previous patches added support for, but only the original DSA tagging format. The original DSA tagging format carries the same information as the Ethertype DSA tagging format, but with the difference that it does not have an ethertype field. In other words, when receiving a packet that is tagged with an original DSA tag, there is no way of telling in eth_type_trans() that this packet is in fact a DSA-tagged packet. This patch adds a hook into eth_type_trans() which is only compiled in if support for a switch chip that doesn't support Ethertype DSA is selected, and which checks whether there is a DSA switch driver instance attached to this network device which uses the old tag format. If so, it sets the protocol field to ETH_P_DSA without looking at the packet, so that the packet ends up in the right place.

2008-10-08net: Distributed Switch Architecture protocol supportLennert Buytenhek
Distributed Switch Architecture is a protocol for managing hardware switch chips. It consists of a set of MII management registers and commands to configure the switch, and an ethernet header format to signal which of the ports of the switch a packet was received from or is intended to be sent to. The switches that this driver supports are typically embedded in access points and routers, and a typical setup with a DSA switch looks something like this: +-----------+ +-----------+ | | RGMII | | | +-------+ +------ 1000baseT MDI ("WAN") | | | 6-port +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN1") | CPU | | ethernet +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN2") | |MIImgmt| switch +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN3") | +-------+ w/5 PHYs +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN4") | | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ The switch driver presents each port on the switch as a separate network interface to Linux, polls the switch to maintain software link state of those ports, forwards MII management interface accesses to those network interfaces (e.g. as done by ethtool) to the switch, and exposes the switch's hardware statistics counters via the appropriate Linux kernel interfaces. This initial patch supports the MII management interface register layout of the Marvell 88E6123, 88E6161 and 88E6165 switch chips, and supports the "Ethertype DSA" packet tagging format. (There is no officially registered ethertype for the Ethertype DSA packet format, so we just grab a random one. The ethertype to use is programmed into the switch, and the switch driver uses the value of ETH_P_EDSA for this, so this define can be changed at any time in the future if the one we chose is allocated to another protocol or if Ethertype DSA gets its own officially registered ethertype, and everything will continue to work.)

2008-10-08netfilter: xtables: move extension arguments into compound structure (1/6)Jan Engelhardt
The function signatures for Xtables extensions have grown over time. It involves a lot of typing/replication, and also a bit of stack space even if they are not used. Realize an NFWS2008 idea and pack them into structs. The skb remains outside of the struct so gcc can continue to apply its optimizations. This patch does this for match extensions' match functions. A few ambiguities have also been addressed. The "offset" parameter for example has been renamed to "fragoff" (there are so many different offsets already) and "protoff" to "thoff" (there is more than just one protocol here, so clarify).

2008-10-07tcp: kill pointless urg_modeIlpo Järvinen
It all started from me noticing that this urgent check in tcp_clean_rtx_queue is unnecessarily inside the loop. Then I took a longer look to it and found out that the users of urg_mode can trivially do without, well almost, there was one gotcha. Bonus: those funny people who use urg with >= 2^31 write_seq - snd_una could now rejoice too (that's the only purpose for the between being there, otherwise a simple compare would have done the thing). Not that I assume that the rest of the tcp code happily lives with such mind-boggling numbers :-). Alas, it turned out to be impossible to set wmem to such numbers anyway, yes I really tried a big sendfile after setting some wmem but nothing happened :-). ...Tcp_wmem is int and so is sk_sndbuf...

However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it taking i_mutex. In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.

2008-10-01ipsec: Put dumpers on the dump listHerbert Xu
Herbert Xu came up with the idea and the original patch to make xfrm_state dump list contain also dumpers: As it is we go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that states don't go away while dumpers go to sleep. It's much easier if we just put the dumpers themselves on the list since they can't go away while they're going. I've also changed the order of addition on new states to prevent a never-ending dump. Timo Teräs improved the patch to apply cleanly to latest tree, modified iteration code to be more readable by using a common struct for entries in the list, implemented the same idea for xfrm_policy dumping and moved the af_key specific "last" entry caching to af_key.

This patch adds skb_recycle_check(), which can be used by a network driver after transmitting an skb to check whether this skb can be recycled as a receive buffer. skb_recycle_check() checks that the skb is not shared or cloned, and that it is linear and its head portion large enough (as determined by the driver) to be recycled as a receive buffer.
