netns bridge: allow bridges in netns!

2008-09-08T23:19:58Z

Bridge as netdevice doesn't cross netns boundaries. Bridge ports and bridge itself live in same netns. Notifiers are fixed. netns propagated from userspace socket for setup and teardown. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns: Use net_eq() to compare net-namespaces for optimization.

2008-07-20T05:34:43Z

Without CONFIG_NET_NS, namespace is always &init_net. Compiler will be able to omit namespace comparisons with this patch. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET] NETNS: Omit net_device->nd_net without CONFIG_NET_NS.

2008-03-25T19:39:53Z

Introduce per-net_device inlines: dev_net(), dev_net_set(). Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists. Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki

[NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe

2007-10-10T23:49:09Z

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: change when netlink events go to STP

2007-04-26T05:28:48Z

Need to tell STP daemon about more events, like any time a device is added even when it is down. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

[BRIDGE]: eliminate workqueue for carrier check

2007-02-26T19:42:59Z

Having a work queue for checking carrier leads to lots of race issues. Simpler to just get the cost when data structure is created and update on change. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[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.
