2011-05-12garp: remove last synchronize_rcu() callEric Dumazet1-0/+1
When removing last vlan from a device, garp_uninit_applicant() calls synchronize_rcu() to make sure no user can still manipulate struct garp_applicant before we free it. Use call_rcu() instead, as a step to further net_device dismantle optimizations. Add the temporary garp_cleanup_module() function to make sure no pending call_rcu() are left at module unload time [ this will be removed when kfree_rcu() is available ] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-05-09garp: remove one synchronize_rcu() callEric Dumazet1-0/+1
Speedup vlan dismantling in CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_GVRP=y cases, by using a call_rcu() to free the memory instead of waiting with expensive synchronize_rcu() [ while RTNL is held ] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Cc: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Cc: Paul E.

2008-07-05vlan: Add GVRP supportPatrick McHardy1-0/+1
Add GVRP support for dynamically registering VLANs with switches. By default GVRP is disabled because we only support the applicant-only participant model, which means it should not be enabled on vlans that are members of a bridge. Since there is currently no way to cleanly determine that, the user is responsible for enabling it. The code is pretty small and low impact, its wrapped in a config option though because it depends on the GARP implementation and the STP core.

2008-07-05net: Add GARP applicant-only participantPatrick McHardy1-0/+127
Add an implementation of the GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) applicant-only participant. This will be used by the following patch to add GVRP support to the VLAN code. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
