net: Allow for more then a single subclass for netif_addr_lock

2014-05-31T20:20:34Z

[ Upstream commit 25175ba5c9bff9aaf0229df34bb5d54c81633ec3 ] Currently netif_addr_lock_nested assumes that there can be only a single nesting level between 2 devices. However, if we have multiple devices of the same type stacked, this fails. For example: eth0 <-- vlan0.10 <-- vlan0.10.20 A more complicated configuration may stack more then one type of device in different order. Ex: eth0 <-- vlan0.10 <-- macvlan0 <-- vlan1.10.20 <-- macvlan1 This patch adds an ndo_* function that allows each stackable device to report its nesting level. If the device doesn't provide this function default subclass of 1 is used. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: Find the nesting level of a given device by type.

2014-05-31T20:20:34Z

[ Upstream commit 4085ebe8c31face855fd01ee40372cb4aab1df3a ] Multiple devices in the kernel can be stacked/nested and they need to know their nesting level for the purposes of lockdep. This patch provides a generic function that determines a nesting level of a particular device by its type (ex: vlan, macvlan, etc). We only care about nesting of the same type of devices. For example: eth0 <- vlan0.10 <- macvlan0 <- vlan1.20 The nesting level of vlan1.20 would be 1, since there is another vlan in the stack under it. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Account for all vlan headers in skb_mac_gso_segment

2014-03-28T21:10:36Z

skb_network_protocol() already accounts for multiple vlan headers that may be present in the skb. However, skb_mac_gso_segment() doesn't know anything about it and assumes that skb->mac_len is set correctly to skip all mac headers. That may not always be the case. If we are simply forwarding the packet (via bridge or macvtap), all vlan headers may not be accounted for. A simple solution is to allow skb_network_protocol to return the vlan depth it has calculated. This way skb_mac_gso_segment will correctly skip all mac headers.

netdevice: move netdev_cap_txqueue for shared usage to header

2014-02-17T05:36:34Z

In order to allow users to invoke netdev_cap_txqueue, it needs to be moved into netdevice.h header file. While at it, also add kernel doc header to document the API. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdevice: add queue selection fallback handler for ndo_select_queue

2014-02-17T05:36:34Z

Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx(); fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers invoke this function within their customized implementation in case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc). This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that function to modules can be undone. Suggested-by: David S.

net: core: introduce netif_skb_dev_features

2014-02-13T22:17:02Z

Will be used by upcoming ipv4 forward path change that needs to determine feature mask using skb->dst->dev instead of skb->dev. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: remove ndo_get_slave

2014-01-23T05:57:17Z

No longer used API bond-specific can be removed now. This is now handled in a generic way in rtnl_link_ops. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add GRO support for UDP encapsulating protocols

2014-01-22T02:05:04Z

Add GRO handlers for protocols that do UDP encapsulation, with the intent of being able to coalesce packets which encapsulate packets belonging to the same TCP session. For GRO purposes, the destination UDP port takes the role of the ether type field in the ethernet header or the next protocol in the IP header. The UDP GRO handler will only attempt to coalesce packets whose destination port is registered to have gro handler. Use a mark on the skb GRO CB data to disallow (flush) running the udp gro receive code twice on a packet. This solves the problem of udp encapsulated packets whose inner VM packet is udp and happen to carry a port which has registered offloads.

bonding: add netlink attributes to slave link dev

2014-01-18T02:51:58Z

If link is IFF_SLAVE, extend link dev netlink attributes to include slave attributes with new IFLA_SLAVE nest. Add netlink notification (RTM_NEWLINK) when slave status changes from backup to active, or visa-versa. Adds new ndo_get_slave op to net_device_ops to fill skb with IFLA_SLAVE attributes. Currently only used by bonding driver, but could be used by other aggregating devices with slaves. Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net-sysfs: add support for device-specific rx queue sysfs attributes

2014-01-17T07:46:06Z

Extend existing support for netdevice receive queue sysfs attributes to permit a device-specific attribute group. Initial use case for this support will be to allow the virtio-net device to export per-receive queue mergeable receive buffer size. Signed-off-by: Michael Dalton Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
