* [BRIDGE]: Fix OOPS when bridging device without ethtool.Stephen Hemminger2007-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bridge code calls ethtool to get speed. The conversion to using only ethtool_ops broke the case of devices without ethtool_ops. This is a new regression in 2.6.23. Rearranged the switch to a logical order, and use gcc initializer. Ps: speed should have been part of the network device structure from the start rather than burying it in ethtool.

* [NET]: Share correct feature code between bridging and bondingHerbert Xu2007-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the bonding driver may produce bogus combinations of the checksum flags and SG/TSO. For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that has neither flag set. If both have TSO then this produces an illegal combination. The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to deal with this. In fact, the same code can be used for both. So this patch moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both bonding and bridging. In the process I've made small adjustments such as only setting GSO_ROBUST if at least one constituent device supports it.

* [NET]: ethtool ops are the only wayMatthew Wilcox2007-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the transition to the ethtool_ops way of doing things, we supported calling the device's ->do_ioctl method to allow unconverted drivers to continue working. Those days are long behind us, all in-tree drivers use the ethtool_ops way, and so we no longer need to support this. The bonding driver is the biggest beneficiary of this; it no longer needs to call ioctl() as a fallback if ethtool_ops aren't supported. Also put a proper copyright statement on ethtool.c.

* [NET]: IPV6 checksum offloading in network devicesStephen Hemminger2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing model for checksum offload does not correctly handle devices that can offload IPV4 and IPV6 only. The NETIF_F_HW_CSUM flag implies device can do any arbitrary protocol. This patch: * adds NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM for those devices * fixes bnx2 and tg3 devices that need it * add NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM to ipv6 output (incl GSO) * fixes assumptions about NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM in nat * adjusts bridge union of checksumming computation Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET]: Rework dev_base via list_head (v3)Pavel Emelianov2007-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev loop. A few most complicated places were converted to using first_netdev()/next_netdev().

* bridge: change when netlink events go to STPStephen Hemminger2007-04-26

* bridge: add support for user mode STPStephen Hemminger2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | This patchset based on work by Aji_Srinivas@emc.com provides allows spanning tree to be controled from userspace. Like hotplug, it uses call_usermodehelper when spanning tree is enabled so there is no visible API change. If call to start usermode STP fails it falls back to existing kernel STP.

* [BRIDGE]: adding new device to bridge should enable if upAji Srinivas2007-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | One change introduced by the workqueue removal patch is that adding an interface that is up to a bridge which is also up does not ever call br_stp_enable_port(), leaving the port in DISABLED state until we do ifconfig down and up or link events occur. The following patch to the br_add_if function fixes it. This is a regression introduced in 2.6.21.

* [BRIDGE]: flush forwarding table when device carrier offStephen Hemminger2006-10-16

* [BRIDGE]: Disable SG/GSO if TX checksum is offHerbert Xu2006-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When the bridge recomputes features, it does not maintain the constraint that SG/GSO must be off if TX checksum is off. This patch adds that constraint. On a completely unrelated note, I've also added TSO6 and TSO_ECN feature bits if GSO is enabled on the underlying device through the new NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE macro.

* [NET]: Added GSO header verificationHerbert Xu2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain), we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware. Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY. Packets with this bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST. If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the hardware if it passes the header check. This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag. The same method can be used to implement TSO ECN support. We simply have to mark packets with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them. The GSO engine can either fully segment the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for further segmentation.

* [BRIDGE]: Add support for NETIF_F_HW_CSUM devicesHerbert Xu2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | As it is the bridge will only ever declare NETIF_F_IP_CSUM even if all its constituent devices support NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. This patch fixes this by supporting the first one out of NETIF_F_NO_CSUM, NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM that is supported by all constituent devices.

* [NET]: Add NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM and NETIF_F_ALL_CSUMHerbert Xu2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | The current stack treats NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_NO_CSUM identically so we test for them in quite a few places. For the sake of brevity, I'm adding the macro NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM for these two. We also test the disjunct of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and the other two in various places, for that purpose I've added NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM.

* [BRIDGE]: generate kobject remove eventStephen Hemminger2006-03-05

* [BRIDGE]: Fix device delete race.Stephen Hemminger2006-01-31

No need for barriers or other locking because of rtnl mutex. The del_timer_sync()'s are unnecessary, because br_stp_disable_port delete's the timers, and they will finish running before RCU callback.

* [BRIDGE]: handle speed detection after carrier changesStephen Hemminger2006-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Speed of a interface may not be available until carrier is detected in the case of autonegotiation. To get the correct value we need to recheck speed after carrier event.

* [BRIDGE]: fix race on bridge del ifStephen Hemminger2005-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the RCU race on bridge delete interface. Basically, the network device has to be detached from the bridge in the first step (pre-RCU), rather than later.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
