[BRIDGE]: netlink interface for link management

2006-06-18T04:26:14Z

Add basic netlink support to the Ethernet bridge. Including: * dump interfaces in bridges * monitor link status changes * change state of bridge port For some demo programs see: http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/prototypes/brnl.tar.gz These are to allow building a daemon that does alternative implementations of Spanning Tree Protocol.

[BRIDGE]: fix module startup error handling

2006-06-18T04:26:12Z

Return address in use, if some other kernel code has the SAP. Propogate out error codes from netfilter registration and unwind. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[BRIDGE]: need to ref count the LLC sap

2006-05-23T22:20:25Z

Bridge will OOPS on removal if other application has the SAP open. The bridge SAP might be shared with other usages, so need to do reference counting on module removal rather than explicit close/delete. Since packet might arrive after or during removal, need to clear the receive function handle, so LLC only hands it to user (if any). Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[BRIDGE]: use llc for receiving STP packets

2006-03-21T06:59:06Z

Use LLC for the receive path of Spanning Tree Protocol packets. This allows link local multicast packets to be received by other protocols (if they care), and uses the existing LLC code to get STP packets back into bridge code. The bridge multicast address is also checked, so bridges using other link local multicast addresses are ignored. This allows for use of different multicast addresses to define separate STP domains.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36Z

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!
