* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* macvtap: add GSO/csum offload supportArnd Bergmann2010-02-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Added flags field to macvtap_queue to enable/disable processing of virtio_net_hdr via IFF_VNET_HDR. This flag is checked to prepend virtio_net_hdr in the receive path and process/skip virtio_net_hdr in the send path. Original patch by Sridhar, further changes by Arnd.

* net/macvtap: add vhost supportArnd Bergmann2010-02-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for passing a macvtap file descriptor into vhost-net, much like we already do for tun/tap. Most of the new code is taken from the respective patch in the tun driver and may get consolidated in the future.

* macvtap: rework object lifetime rulesArnd Bergmann2010-02-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reworks the change done by the previous patch in a more complete way. The original macvtap code has a number of problems resulting from the use of RCU for protecting the access to struct macvtap_queue from open files. This includes - need for GFP_ATOMIC allocations for skbs - potential deadlocks when copy_*_user sleeps - inability to work with vhost-net Changing the lifetime of macvtap_queue to always depend on the open file solves all these. The RCU reference simply moves one step down to the reference on the macvlan_dev, which we only need for nonblocking operations.

* net/macvtap: fix reference countingArnd Bergmann2010-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The RCU usage in the original code was broken because there are cases where we possibly sleep with rcu_read_lock held. As a fix, change the macvtap_file_get_queue to get a reference on the socket and the netdev instead of taking the full rcu_read_lock. Also, change macvtap_file_get_queue failure case to not require a subsequent macvtap_file_put_queue, as pointed out by Ed Swierk.

* net: macvtap driverArnd Bergmann2010-02-03
In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend with a character device with the same interface as the tun driver, with a minimum set of features. Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a handle for configuration and accounting, while the data goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its own character device, simplifying permission management significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.
