      netdev: introduce dev_get_stats() · eeda3fd6
      Stephen Hemminger 提交于
      In order for the network device ops get_stats call to be immutable, the handling
      of the default internal network device stats block has to be changed. Add a new
      helper function which replaces the old use of internal_get_stats.
      
      Note: change return code to make it clear that the caller should not
      go changing the returned statistics.

      netdev: network device operations infrastructure · d314774c
      Stephen Hemminger 提交于
      This patch changes the network device internal API to move adminstrative
      operations out of the network device structure and into a separate structure.
      
      This patch involves some hackery to maintain compatablity between the
      new and old model, so all 300+ drivers don't have to be changed at once.
      For drivers that aren't converted yet, the netdevice_ops virt function list
      still resides in the net_device structure. For old protocols, the new
      net_device_ops are copied out to the old net_device pointers.
      
      After the transistion is completed the nag message can be changed to
      an WARN_ON, and the compatiablity code can be made configurable.
      
      Some function pointers aren't moved:
      * destructor can't be in net_device_ops because
        it may need to be referenced after the module is unloaded.
      * neighbor setup is manipulated in a couple of places that need special
        consideration
      * hard_start_xmit is in the fast path for transmit.

      net: Guaranetee the proper ordering of the loopback device. · ae33bc40
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      I was recently hunting a bug that occurred in network namespace
      cleanup.  In looking at the code it became apparrent that we have
      and will continue to have cases where if we have anything going
      on in a network namespace there will be assumptions that the
      loopback device is present.   Things like sending igmp unsubscribe
      messages when we bring down network devices invokes the routing
      code which assumes that at least the loopback driver is present.
      
      Therefore to avoid magic initcall ordering hackery that is hard
      to follow and hard to get right insert a call to register the
      loopback device directly from net_dev_init().    This guarantes
      that the loopback device is the first device registered and
      the last network device to go away.

      net: Fix disjunct computation of netdev features · b63365a2
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      My change
      
          commit e2a6b852
          net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device
      
      didn't do what was intended because the netdev_compute_features
      function was designed for conjunctions.  So what happened was that
      it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device.
      
      This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions
      under the new name of netdev_increment_features.
      
      It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the
      sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration.  This ensures
      that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination
      since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via
      ethtool.
      
      The two users of netdev_compute_features have been converted.

      dsa: add support for original DSA tagging format · cf85d08f
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      Most of the DSA switches currently in the field do not support the
      Ethertype DSA tagging format that one of the previous patches added
      support for, but only the original DSA tagging format.
      
      The original DSA tagging format carries the same information as the
      Ethertype DSA tagging format, but with the difference that it does not
      have an ethertype field.  In other words, when receiving a packet that
      is tagged with an original DSA tag, there is no way of telling in
      eth_type_trans() that this packet is in fact a DSA-tagged packet.
      
      This patch adds a hook into eth_type_trans() which is only compiled in
      if support for a switch chip that doesn't support Ethertype DSA is
      selected, and which checks whether there is a DSA switch driver
      instance attached to this network device which uses the old tag format.
      If so, it sets the protocol field to ETH_P_DSA without looking at the
      packet, so that the packet ends up in the right place.

      net: Distributed Switch Architecture protocol support · 91da11f8
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      Distributed Switch Architecture is a protocol for managing hardware
      switch chips.  It consists of a set of MII management registers and
      commands to configure the switch, and an ethernet header format to
      signal which of the ports of the switch a packet was received from
      or is intended to be sent to.
      
      The switches that this driver supports are typically embedded in
      access points and routers, and a typical setup with a DSA switch
      looks something like this:
      
      	+-----------+       +-----------+
      	|           | RGMII |           |
      	|           +-------+           +------ 1000baseT MDI ("WAN")
      	|           |       |  6-port   +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN1")
      	|    CPU    |       |  ethernet +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN2")
      	|           |MIImgmt|  switch   +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN3")
      	|           +-------+  w/5 PHYs +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN4")
      	|           |       |           |
      	+-----------+       +-----------+
      
      The switch driver presents each port on the switch as a separate
      network interface to Linux, polls the switch to maintain software
      link state of those ports, forwards MII management interface
      accesses to those network interfaces (e.g. as done by ethtool) to
      the switch, and exposes the switch's hardware statistics counters
      via the appropriate Linux kernel interfaces.
      
      This initial patch supports the MII management interface register
      layout of the Marvell 88E6123, 88E6161 and 88E6165 switch chips, and
      supports the "Ethertype DSA" packet tagging format.
      
      (There is no officially registered ethertype for the Ethertype DSA
      packet format, so we just grab a random one.  The ethertype to use
      is programmed into the switch, and the switch driver uses the value
      of ETH_P_EDSA for this, so this define can be changed at any time in
      the future if the one we chose is allocated to another protocol or
      if Ethertype DSA gets its own officially registered ethertype, and
      everything will continue to work.)

      net: network device name ifalias support · 0b815a1a
      Stephen Hemminger 提交于
      This patch add support for keeping an additional character alias
      associated with an network interface. This is useful for maintaining
      the SNMP ifAlias value which is a user defined value. Routers use this
      to hold information like which circuit or line it is connected to. It
      is just an arbitrary text label on the network device.
      
      There are two exposed interfaces with this patch, the value can be
      read/written either via netlink or sysfs.
      
      This could be maintained just by the snmp daemon, but it is more
      generally useful for other management tools, and the kernel is good
      place to act as an agreed upon interface to store it.

      net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_STOLEN flag · 378a2f09
      Jarek Poplawski 提交于
      Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed:
      "The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is
      TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
      even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs'
      qlen counters."
      
      and later explained:
      "The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase
      the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by
      other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter
      when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though.
      
      This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to
      the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN,
      return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
      in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS."
      
      David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed:
      "Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of
      bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific
      attributes.
      
      So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT"
      
      The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller,
      such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their
      way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the
      qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way."
      
      This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

      pkt_sched: Manage qdisc list inside of root qdisc. · 30723673
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Idea is from Patrick McHardy.
      
      Instead of managing the list of qdiscs on the device level, manage it
      in the root qdisc of a netdev_queue.  This solves all kinds of
      visibility issues during qdisc destruction.
      
      The way to iterate over all qdiscs of a netdev_queue is to visit
      the netdev_queue->qdisc, and then traverse it's list.
      
      The only special case is to ignore builting qdiscs at the root when
      dumping or doing a qdisc_lookup().  That was not needed previously
      because builtin qdiscs were not added to the device's qdisc_list.
