* netdev: add more functions to netdevice opsStephen Hemminger2008-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* net: Guaranetee the proper ordering of the loopback device. v2Eric W. Biederman2008-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was recently hunting a bug that occurred in network namespace cleanup. In looking at the code it became apparrent that we have and will continue to have cases where if we have anything going on in a network namespace there will be assumptions that the loopback device is present. Things like sending igmp unsubscribe messages when we bring down network devices invokes the routing code which assumes that at least the loopback driver is present. Therefore to avoid magic initcall ordering hackery that is hard to follow and hard to get right insert a call to register the loopback device directly from net_dev_init(). This guarantes that the loopback device is the first device registered and the last network device to go away. But do it carefully so we register the loopback device after we clear dev_boot_phase.

* drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.David S. Miller2008-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The generic packet receive code takes care of setting netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the bonding ARP monitor. Drivers need not do it any more. Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* net: Really remove all of LOOPBACK_TSO code.David S. Miller2008-10-31
| | | | | | | | | As noticed by Saikiran Madugula, commit 7447ef63cf2dfdc444f4c72ae13f604350b2e25f ("loopback: Remove rest of LOOPBACK_TSO code.") got rid of emulate_large_send_offload() but didn't get rid of the call site as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* loopback: Drop obsolete ip_summed settingHerbert Xu2008-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the network stack can handle inbound packets with partial checksums, we should no longer clobber the ip_summed field in the loopback driver. This is because CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY implies that the checksum field is actually valid which is not true for loopback packets since it's only partial (and thus complemented). This allows packets from lo to then be SNATed to an external source while still preserving the checksum's validity. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* loopback: Enable TSOHerbert Xu2008-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables TSO since the loopback device is naturally capable of handling packets of any size. This also means that we won't enable GSO on lo which is good until GSO is fixed to preserve netfilter state as netfilter treats loopback packets in a special way.

| | | | | | | | | | The private area of a netdev is now at a fixed offset once more. Unfortunately, some assumptions that netdev_priv() == netdev->priv crept back into the tree.

* [NET]: Marking struct pernet_operations __net_initdata was inappropriateEric W. Biederman2007-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is not safe to to place struct pernet_operations in a special section. We need struct pernet_operations to last until we call unregister_pernet_subsys. Which doesn't happen until module unload. So marking struct pernet_operations is a disaster for modules in two ways. - We discard it before we call the exit method it points to. - Because I keep struct pernet_operations on a linked list discarding it for compiled in code removes elements in the middle of a linked list and does horrible things for linked insert. So this looks safe assuming __exit_refok is not discarded for modules. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NETNS]: Don't panic on creating the namespace's loopbackPavel Emelyanov2007-10-15

* [NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=nPavel Emelyanov2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section, thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before. Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot. Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes" for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS is not set to save more space in memory. The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section, as noticed by David, since the init section will have references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already done with the __init_refok.

* [ETHTOOL] Provide default behaviors for a few ethtool sub-ioctlsJeff Garzik2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [NET]: Implement network device movement between namespacesEric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL a flag to indicate a network device is local to a single network namespace and should never be moved. Useful for pseudo devices that we need an instance in each network namespace (like the loopback device) and for any device we find that cannot handle multiple network namespaces so we may trap them in the initial network namespace. This patch introduces the function dev_change_net_namespace a function used to move a network device from one network namespace to another. To the network device nothing special appears to happen, to the components of the network stack it appears as if the network device was unregistered in the network namespace it is in, and a new device was registered in the network namespace the device was moved to. This patch sets up a namespace device destructor that upon the exit of a network namespace moves all of the movable network devices to the initial network namespace so they are not lost.

| | | | | | | | | | | | For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.

* [NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buffHerbert Xu2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So let's merge them. They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features field. I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type (e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features. For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need to be emulated in software. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

But the patch converts lots of open-coded test to use the preferred helper macros.
