* saner FASYNC handling on file closeAl Viro2008-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync() need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget. So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we don't have to bother anymore.

* tun: fallback if skb_alloc() fails on big packetsRusty Russell2008-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | skb_alloc produces linear packets (using kmalloc()). That can fail, so should we fall back to making paged skbs. My original version of this patch always allocate paged skbs for big packets. But that made performance drop from 8.4 seconds to 8.8 seconds on 1G lguest->Host TCP xmit. So now we only do that as a fallback. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Acked-by: Max Krasnyansky <maxk@qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tun: TUNGETIFF interface to query name and flagsMark McLoughlin2008-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a TUNGETIFF interface so that userspace can query a tun/tap descriptor for its name and flags. This is needed because it is common for one app to create a tap interface, exec another app and pass it the file descriptor for the interface. Without TUNGETIFF the spawned app has no way of detecting wheter the interface has e.g. IFF_VNET_HDR set.

Original patch went in without proper review and ACK. It was broken and confusing to start with and subsequent patches broke it completely. To give you an idea of what's broken here are some of the issues: - Very confusing comments throughout the code that imply that the character device is a network interface in its own right, and that packets are passed between the two nics. Which is completely wrong. - Wrong set of ioctls is used for setting up filters. They look like shortcuts for manipulating state of the tun/tap network interface but in reality manipulate the state of the TX filter. - ioctls that were originally used for setting address of the the TX filter got "fixed" and now set the address of the network interface itself. Which made filter totaly useless. - Filtering is done too late. Instead of filtering early on, to avoid unnecessary wakeups, filtering is done in the read() call. The list goes on and on :) So the patch cleans all that up. It introduces simple and clean interface for setting up TX filters (TUNSETTXFILTER + tun_filter spec) and does filtering before enqueuing the packets. TX filtering is useful in the scenarios where TAP is part of a bridge, in which case it gets all broadcast, multicast and potentially other packets when the bridge is learning. So for example Ethernet tunnelling app may want to setup TX filters to avoid tunnelling multicast traffic. QEMU and other hypervisors can push RX filtering that is currently done in the guest into the host context therefore saving wakeups and unnecessary data transfer.

| * | tun: Persistent devices can get stuck in xoff stateMax Krasnyansky2008-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap. TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue(). App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup. Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck. Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But in the case of persistent devices this happens only during initial setup. The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens it we clear xoff state and that gets things moving again.

Unfortunately, TUNSETIFF has always just ignored flags it doesn't understand, so there's no good way of detecting whether the kernel supports new IFF_ flags. This patch implements a TUNGETFEATURES ioctl which returns all the valid IFF flags. It could be extended later to include other features. Here's an example program which uses it: #include <linux/if_tun.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <err.h> #include <stdio.h> static struct { unsigned int flag; const char *name; } known_flags[] = { { IFF_TUN, "TUN" }, { IFF_TAP, "TAP" }, { IFF_NO_PI, "NO_PI" }, { IFF_ONE_QUEUE, "ONE_QUEUE" }, }; int main() { unsigned int features, i; int netfd = open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR); if (netfd < 0) err(1, "Opening /dev/net/tun"); if (ioctl(netfd, TUNGETFEATURES, &features) != 0) { printf("Kernel does not support TUNGETFEATURES, guessing\n"); features = (IFF_TUN|IFF_TAP|IFF_NO_PI|IFF_ONE_QUEUE); } printf("Available features are: "); for (i = 0; i < sizeof(known_flags)/sizeof(known_flags[0]); i++) { if (features & known_flags[i].flag) { features &= ~known_flags[i].flag; printf("%s ", known_flags[i].name); } } if (features) printf("(UNKNOWN %#x)", features); printf("\n"); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Acked-by: Max Krasnyansky <maxk@qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TUN]: Allow to register tun devices in namespace.Pavel Emelyanov2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is basically means that a net is set for a new device, but actually also involves two more steps: 1. mark the tun device as "local", i.e. do not allow for it to move across namespaces. This is done so, since tun device is most often associated to some file (and thus to some process) and moving the device alone is not valid while keeping the file and the process outside. The need in ability to move a detached persistent device is to be investigated later. 2. get the tun device's net when tun becomes attached and put one when it becomes detached. This is needed to handle the case when a task owning the tun dies, but a files lives for some more time - in this case we must not allow for net to be freed, since its exit hook will spoil that file's private data by unregistering the tun from under tun_chr_close.

* tun: impossible to deassert IFF_ONE_QUEUE or IFF_NO_PINathaniel Filardo2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: "Nathaniel Filardo" <nwfilardo@gmail.com> Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9806 The TUN/TAP driver only permits one-way transitions of IFF_NO_PI or IFF_ONE_QUEUE during the lifetime of a tap/tun interface. Note that tun_set_iff contains 541 if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_NO_PI) 542 tun->flags |= TUN_NO_PI; 543 544 if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_ONE_QUEUE) 545 tun->flags |= TUN_ONE_QUEUE; This is easily fixed by adding else branches which clear these bits. Steps to reproduce: This is easily reproduced by setting an interface persistant using tunctl then attempting to open it as IFF_TAP or IFF_TUN, without asserting the IFF_NO_PI flag. The ioctl() will succeed and the ifr.flags word is not modified, but the interface remains in IFF_NO_PI mode (as it was set by tunctl).

* [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

However, if SIOCSIFHWADDR is performed on the net device directly (for instance, setting the hw address using ifconfig), the tun device does not get updated. Perhaps the tun.dev_addr field should be removed completely at some point, as it is redundant and net_device.dev_addr can be used anywhere it is used.
