bridge: use rx_handler_data pointer to store net_bridge_port pointer

2010-06-15T18:48:58Z

Register net_bridge_port pointer as rx_handler data pointer. As br_port is removed from struct net_device, another netdev priv_flag is added to indicate the device serves as a bridge port. Also rcuized pointers are now correctly dereferenced in br_fdb.c and in netfilter parts. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: update sysfs link names if port device names have changed

2010-05-16T06:10:15Z

Links for each port are created in sysfs using the device name, but this could be changed after being added to the bridge. As well as being unable to remove interfaces after this occurs (because userspace tools don't recognise the new name, and the kernel won't recognise the old name), adding another interface with the old name to the bridge will cause an error trying to create the sysfs link. This fixes the problem by listening for NETDEV_CHANGENAME notifications and renaming the link. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12743 Signed-off-by: Simon Arlott Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.

net: forbid underlaying devices to change its type

2010-03-19T03:00:02Z

It's not desired for underlaying devices to change type. At the time, there is for example possible to have bond with changed type from Ethernet to Infiniband as a port of a bridge. This patch fixes this. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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: remove CVS keywords

2008-06-12T04:00:38Z

This patch removes CVS keywords that weren't updated for a long time from comments. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk 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
