net: replace hooks in __netif_receive_skb V5

2010-06-02T14:11:15Z

What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device. Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register an rx_handler for needed net device. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.

bridge: change console message interface

2010-05-16T06:10:02Z

Use one set of macro's for all bridge messages. Note: can't use netdev_XXX macro's because bridge is purely virtual and has no device parent. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: Use rcu_barrier() instead of syncronize_net() on unload.

2009-06-26T20:51:32Z

When unloading modules that uses call_rcu() callbacks, then we must use rcu_barrier(). This module uses syncronize_net() which is not enough to be sure that all callback has been completed. Acked-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: Simplify interface for ATM LANE

2009-06-12T04:03:21Z

This patch changes FDB entry check for ATM LANE bridge integration. There's no point in holding a FDB entry around SKB building. br_fdb_get()/br_fdb_put() pair are changed into single br_fdb_test_addr() hook that checks if the addr has FDB entry pointing to other port to the one the request arrived on. FDB entry refcounting is removed as it's not used anywhere else. Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: kernel panic when unloading bridge module

2008-04-29T10:18:13Z

There is a race condition when unloading bridge and netfilter. The problem happens if __fake_rtable is in use by a skb coming in, while someone starts to unload bridge.ko. br_netfilter_fini() is called at the beginning of unload in br_deinit() while skbs still are being forwarded and transferred to local ip stack. Thus there is a possibility of the __fake_rtable pointer not being removed in a skb that goes up to ip stack. This results in a kernel panic, as ip_rcv() calls the input-function of __fake_rtable, which is NULL. Moving the call of br_netfilter_fini() to the end of br_deinit() solves the problem.

[BRIDGE]: Lost call to br_fdb_fini() in br_init() error path

2007-11-29T12:41:43Z

In case the br_netfilter_init() (or any subsequent call) fails, the br_fdb_fini() must be called to free the allocated in br_fdb_init() br_fdb_cache kmem cache. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

[NETFILTER]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff *

2007-10-15T19:26:29Z

With all the users of the double pointers removed, this patch mops up by finally replacing all occurances of sk_buff ** in the netfilter API by sk_buff *. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
