Wireless networking, particularly with MESH enabled, has quite strong requirements for link-layer header space. Based upon some numbers and descriptions from Johannes Berg we use 96 (same as AX25) for plain wireless, and with mesh enabled we use 128. In the process, simplify the cpp conditional logic here by ordering the cases by those needing the most space down to those needing the least case. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The syncppp layer wants a mid-level netdev private pointer. It was using netdev->priv but that only worked by accident, and thus this scheme was broken when the device private allocation strategy changed. Add a proper mid-layer private pointer for uses like this, update syncppp and all users, and remove the HDLC_PPP broken tag from drivers/net/wan/Kconfig Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Update: My mailer ate one of Jarek's feedback mails... Fixed the parameter in netif_set_gso_max_size() to be u32, not u16. Fixed the whitespace issue due to a patch import botch. Changed the types from u32 to unsigned int to be more consistent with other variables in the area. Also brought the patch up to the latest net-2.6.26 tree. Update: Made gso_max_size container 32 bits, not 16. Moved the location of gso_max_size within netdev to be less hotpath. Made more consistent names between the sock and netdev layers, and added a define for the max GSO size. Update: Respun for net-2.6.26 tree. Update: changed max_gso_frame_size and sk_gso_max_size from signed to unsigned - thanks Stephen! This patch adds the ability for device drivers to control the size of the TSO frames being sent to them, per TCP connection. By setting the netdevice's gso_max_size value, the socket layer will set the GSO frame size based on that value. This will propogate into the TCP layer, and send TSO's of that size to the hardware. This can be desirable to help tune the bursty nature of TSO on a per-adapter basis, where one may have 1 GbE and 10 GbE devices coexisting in a system, one running multiqueue and the other not, etc. This can also be desirable for devices that cannot support full 64 KB TSO's, but still want to benefit from some level of segmentation offloading.

Reuse the existing logic for multicast list synchronization for the unicast address list. The core of dev_mc_sync/unsync are split out as __dev_addr_sync/unsync and moved from dev_mcast.c to dev.c. These are then used to implement dev_unicast_sync/unsync as well. I'm working on cleaning up Intel's FCoE stack, which generates new MAC addresses from the fibre channel device id assigned by the fabric as per the current draft specification in T11. When using such a protocol in a VLAN environment it would be nice to not always be forced into promiscuous mode, assuming the underlying Ethernet driver supports multiple unicast addresses as well.

Create a bit to signal that a napi_disable() is in progress. This sets up infrastructure such that net_rx_action() can generically break out of the ->poll() loop on a NAPI context that has a pending napi_disable() yet is being bombed with packets (and thus would otherwise poll endlessly and not allow the napi_disable() to finish). Now, what napi_disable() does is first set the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit (to indicate that a disable is pending), then it polls for the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit, and once the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is acquired the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit is cleared. Here, the test_and_set_bit() provides the necessary memory barrier between the various bitops. napi_schedule_prep() now tests for a pending disable as it's first action and won't try to obtain the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit if a disable is pending. As a result, we can remove the netif_running() check in netif_rx_schedule_prep() because the NAPI disable pending state serves this purpose. And, it does so in a NAPI centric manner which is what we really want. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

It is pointless, because everything that can make a device go away will do a napi_disable() first. The main impetus behind this is that now we can legally do a NAPI completion in generic code like net_rx_action() which a following changeset needs to do. net_rx_action() can only perform actions in NAPI centric ways, because there may be a one to many mapping between NAPI contexts and network devices (SKY2 is one example). We also want to get rid of this because it's an extra atomic in the NAPI paths, and also because it is one of the last instances where the NAPI interfaces care about net devices. The one remaining netdev detail the NAPI stuff cares about is the netif_running() check which will be killed off in a subsequent changeset. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch introduces NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL a flag to indicate a network device is local to a single network namespace and should never be moved. Useful for pseudo devices that we need an instance in each network namespace (like the loopback device) and for any device we find that cannot handle multiple network namespaces so we may trap them in the initial network namespace. This patch introduces the function dev_change_net_namespace a function used to move a network device from one network namespace to another. To the network device nothing special appears to happen, to the components of the network stack it appears as if the network device was unregistered in the network namespace it is in, and a new device was registered in the network namespace the device was moved to. This patch sets up a namespace device destructor that upon the exit of a network namespace moves all of the movable network devices to the initial network namespace so they are not lost.
