2008-11-20netdev: add more functions to netdevice opsStephen Hemminger
This patch moves neigh_setup and hard_start_xmit into the network device ops structure. For bisection, fix all the previously converted drivers as well. Bonding driver took the biggest hit on this. Added a prefetch of the hard_start_xmit in the fast path to try and reduce any impact this would have. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-10-23net: Fix disjunct computation of netdev featuresHerbert Xu
My change commit e2a6b85247aacc52d6ba0d9b37a99b8d1a3e0d83 net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device didn't do what was intended because the netdev_compute_features function was designed for conjunctions. So what happened was that it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device. This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions under the new name of netdev_increment_features. It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration. This ensures that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via ethtool. The two users of netdev_compute_features have been converted. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-07-30bridge: send correct MTU value in PMTU (revised)Simon Wunderlich
When bridging interfaces with different MTUs, the bridge correctly chooses the minimum of the MTUs of the physical devices as the bridges MTU. But when a frame is passed which fits through the incoming, but not through the outgoing interface, a "Fragmentation Needed" packet is generated. However, the propagated MTU is hardcoded to 1500, which is wrong in this situation. The sender will repeat the packet again with the same frame size, and the same problem will occur again. Instead of sending 1500, the (correct) MTU value of the bridge is now sent via PMTU. To achieve this, the corresponding rtable structure is stored in its net_bridge structure. Modified to get rid of fake_net_device as well. Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <siwu@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de> Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-06-17bridge: make bridge address settings stickyStephen Hemminger

2008-05-21bridge: Use on-device stats instead of private ones.Pavel Emelyanov

2007-12-16[BRIDGE]: Assign random address.Stephen Hemminger
Assigning a valid random address to bridge device solves problems when bridge device is brought up before adding real device to bridge. When the first real device is added to the bridge, it's address will overide the bridges random address. Note: any device added to a bridge must already have a valid ethernet address. br_add_if -> br_fdb_insert -> fdb_insert -> is_valid_ether_addr Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-10[ETHTOOL] Provide default behaviors for a few ethtool sub-ioctlsJeff Garzik
For the operations get-tx-csum get-sg get-tso get-ufo the default ethtool_op_xxx behavior is fine for all drivers, so we permit op==NULL to imply the default behavior. This provides a more uniform behavior across all drivers, eliminating ethtool(8) "ioctl not supported" errors on older drivers that had not been updated for the latest sub-ioctls. The ethtool_op_xxx() functions are left exported, in case anyone wishes to call them directly from a driver-private implementation -- a not-uncommon case. Should an ethtool_op_xxx() helper remain unused for a while, except by net/core/ethtool.c, we can un-export it at a later date.

2007-09-16[BRIDGE]: Kill clone argument to br_flood_*Herbert Xu
The clone argument is only used by one caller and that caller can clone the packet itself. This patch moves the clone call into the caller and kills the clone argument. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-08-13[NET]: Share correct feature code between bridging and bondingHerbert Xu
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the bonding driver may produce bogus combinations of the checksum flags and SG/TSO. For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that has neither flag set. If both have TSO then this produces an illegal combination. The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to deal with this. In fact, the same code can be used for both. So this patch moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both bonding and bridging. In the process I've made small adjustments such as only setting GSO_ROBUST if at least one constituent device supports it.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_mac_header(skb)Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the common, open coded 'skb->mac.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->mac.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.

2006-06-29[NET]: Added GSO header verificationHerbert Xu
When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain), we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware. Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY. Packets with this bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST. If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the hardware if it passes the header check. This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag. The same method can be used to implement TSO ECN support. We simply have to mark packets with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them. The GSO engine can either fully segment the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for further segmentation.

2006-06-17[BRIDGE]: Add support for NETIF_F_HW_CSUM devicesHerbert Xu
As it is the bridge will only ever declare NETIF_F_IP_CSUM even if all its constituent devices support NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. This patch fixes this by supporting the first one out of NETIF_F_NO_CSUM, NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM that is supported by all constituent devices.

2006-01-03[BRIDGE]: allow setting hardware address of bridge pseudo-devStephen Hemminger

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
