      vlan: Centralize handling of hardware acceleration. · 3701e513
      Jesse Gross 提交于
      Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration
      must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass
      the stripped tag to a specialized receive function.  This is
      
      different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a
      significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping
      it in the networking core.
      
      This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms
      of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the
      following:
      * On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network
      core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing
      the header if no group
      * vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main
      receive routines
      * On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software
      if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic
      out in upper layers, such as bonding.
      
      There are a number of advantages to this:
      * Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once.
      * Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode
      (good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode).
      * Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which
      avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely
      necessary.
      * Consolidates common code in core networking.

      vlan: Avoid hash table lookup to find group. · 65ac6a5f
      Jesse Gross 提交于
      A struct net_device always maps to zero or one vlan groups and we
      always know the device when we are looking up a group.  We currently
      do a hash table lookup on the device to find the group but it is
      much simpler to just store a pointer.

      vlan: Rename VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN to VLAN_N_VID. · b738127d
      Jesse Gross 提交于
      VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN is simply the number of possible vlan VIDs.
      Since vlan groups will soon be more of an implementation detail
      for vlan devices, rename the constant to be descriptive of its
      actual purpose.

      vlan_dev: VLAN 0 should be treated as "no vlan tag" (802.1p packet) · ad1afb00
      Pedro Garcia 提交于
      - Without the 8021q module loaded in the kernel, all 802.1p packets 
      (VLAN 0 but QoS tagging) are silently discarded (as expected, as 
      the protocol is not loaded).
       
      - Without this patch in 8021q module, these packets are forwarded to 
      the module, but they are discarded also if VLAN 0 is not configured,
      which should not be the default behaviour, as VLAN 0 is not really
      a VLANed packet but a 802.1p packet. Defining VLAN 0 makes it almost
      impossible to communicate with mixed 802.1p and non 802.1p devices on
      the same network due to arp table issues.
      
      - Changed logic to skip vlan specific code in vlan_skb_recv if VLAN 
      is 0 and we have not defined a VLAN with ID 0, but we accept the 
      packet with the encapsulated proto and pass it later to netif_rx.
      
      - In the vlan device event handler, added some logic to add VLAN 0 
      to HW filter in devices that support it (this prevented any traffic
      in VLAN 0 to reach the stack in e1000e with HW filter under 2.6.35,
      and probably also with other HW filtered cards, so we fix it here).
      
      - In the vlan unregister logic, prevent the elimination of VLAN 0 
      in devices with HW filter.
      
      - The default behaviour is to ignore the VLAN 0 tagging and accept
      the packet as if it was not tagged, but we can still define a 
      VLAN 0 if desired (so it is backwards compatible).

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      net: convert unicast addr list · ccffad25
      Jiri Pirko 提交于
      This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using
      previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the
      locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not
      needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All
      reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes).
      
      I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address
      while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len.
      
      The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the
      change is not so trivial.

      vlan: update vlan carrier state for admin up/down · adc667e8
      Jay Vosburgh 提交于
      	Currently, the VLAN event handler does not adjust the VLAN
      device's carrier state when the real device or the VLAN device is set
      administratively up or down.
      
      	The following patch adds a transfer of operating state from the
      real device to the VLAN device when the real device is administratively
      set up or down, and sets the carrier state up or down during init, open
      and close of the VLAN device.
      
      	This permits observers above the VLAN device that care about the
      carrier state (bonding's link monitor, for example) to receive updates
      for administrative changes by more closely mimicing the behavior of real
      devices.
