      cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfaces · ad4bb6f8
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
      (in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
      doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
      networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
      need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
      help here. The wireless address format used for these
      links has only space for three addresses, the
       * transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
       * receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
         the case of managed mode
       * the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
         network segment
      
      In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
      must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.
      
      To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
      wireless interface to a bridge.
      
      Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
      and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
      it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
      up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

      Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ?
      
      In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously.
      
      [PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle
      
      time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105
      
      real	0m0.266s
      user	0m0.000s
      sys	0m0.001s

      real	0m1.022s
      user	0m0.000s
      sys	0m0.000s
      
      One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the
      holding of device done by following chain :
      
      vlan_dev_stop() ->
      	netif_carrier_off(dev) ->
      		linkwatch_fire_event(dev) ->
      			dev_hold() ...
      
      And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later...
      
      A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method
      to unlink the device from the list of watched devices.
      
      dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory),
      to be able to unlink device in O(1).
      
      After patch :
      time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105
      
      real    0m0.024s

      net: introduce NETDEV_UNREGISTER_PERNET · 395264d5
      Octavian Purdila 提交于
      This new event is called once for each unique net namespace in batched
      unregister operations (with the argument set to a random device from
      that namespace) and once per device in non-batched unregister
      operations.
      
      It allows us to factorize some device unregister work such as clearing the
      routing cache.

      mm: allow memory hotplug and hibernation in the same kernel · 6ad696d2
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Allow memory hotplug and hibernation in the same kernel
      
      Memory hotplug and hibernation were exclusive in Kconfig.  This is
      obviously a problem for distribution kernels who want to support both in
      the same image.
      
      After some discussions with Rafael and others the only problem is with
      parallel memory hotadd or removal while a hibernation operation is in
      process.  It was also working for s390 before.
      
      This patch removes the Kconfig level exclusion, and simply makes the
      memory add / remove functions grab the pm_mutex to exclude against
      hibernation.
      
      Fixes a regression - old kernels didn't exclude memory hotadd and
      hibernation.

      udp: secondary hash on (local port, local address) · 512615b6
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Extends udp_table to contain a secondary hash table.
      
      socket anchor for this second hash is free, because UDP
      doesnt use skc_bind_node : We define an union to hold
      both skc_bind_node & a new hlist_nulls_node udp_portaddr_node
      
      udp_lib_get_port() inserts sockets into second hash chain
      (additional cost of one atomic op)
      
      udp_lib_unhash() deletes socket from second hash chain
      (additional cost of one atomic op)
      
      Note : No spinlock lockdep annotation is needed, because
      lock for the secondary hash chain is always get after
      lock for primary hash chain.
