bridge: forwarding table information for >256 devices

2008-05-02T23:53:33Z

The forwarding table binary interface (my bad choice), only exposes the port number of the first 8 bits. The bridge code was limited to 256 ports at the time, but now the kernel supports up 1024 ports, so the upper bits are lost when doing: brctl showmacs The fix is to squeeze the extra bits into small hole left in data structure, to maintain binary compatiablity.

[NETFILTER]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff *

2007-10-15T19:26:29Z

With all the users of the double pointers removed, this patch mops up by finally replacing all occurances of sk_buff ** in the netfilter API by sk_buff *. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.

2007-10-10T23:49:10Z

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

bridge: eliminate call by reference

2007-04-26T05:28:44Z

Change the bridging hook to be simple function with return value rather than modifying the skb argument. This could generate better code and is cleaner. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

[BRIDGE]: Fix oops when mangling and brouting and tcpdumping packets

2004-08-25T09:35:34Z

The ebtables brouting chain, traversed through the call br_should_route_hook(), can alter a packet. The redirect target does this, f.e., to change the MAC destination. Bart discovered this and proposed a patch; this is a revised version. This version cleans up the handle_bridge code in net/core/dev.c as well as getting rid of extra rcu_read_lock and only does the br_port checking once.

[PATCH] sparse: net/bridge annotation

2004-06-03T14:37:55Z

net/bridge partially annotated. There are nasty problems with net/bridge/netfilter/* and they'll need to be dealt with at some point - it mixes kernel and userland pointers a lot and while it seems to avoid obvious breakage, it's not a nice code.

[BRIDGE]: New ioctl interface for 32/64 compatability.

2004-05-22T06:46:09Z

Add four new ioctl's for the operations that can't be done through sysfs. The existing bridge ioctl's are multiplexed, and most go through SIOCDEVPRIVATE so they won't work in a mixed 32/64bit environment. The new release of bridge-utils will use these if possible, and fall back to the old interface.

[BRIDGE]: Add sysfs support.

2004-05-22T06:44:51Z

[BRIDGE]: Include file cleanup.

2004-04-16T07:11:59Z

Cleanup some of the include file's in the bridge code. * if_bridge.h defines net_bridge, but not needed as part of the API. * get rid of places that include if_bridge.h and uaccess.h but don't actually do API work.
