2007-10-10[NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.Eric W. Biederman1-2/+4
This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace. Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe. Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the exotic protocols are supported. Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespaceEric W. Biederman5-16/+21
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace. The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument, and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument. This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces. Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents that are relevant to a single network namespace.

2007-10-10[NET]: Basic network namespace infrastructure.Eric W. Biederman2-1/+293
This is the basic infrastructure needed to support network namespaces. This infrastructure is: - Registration functions to support initializing per network namespace data when a network namespaces is created or destroyed. - struct net. The network namespace data structure. This structure will grow as variables are made per network namespace but this is the minimal starting point. - Functions to grab a reference to the network namespace. I provide both get/put functions that keep a network namespace from being freed. And hold/release functions serve as weak references and will warn if their count is not zero when the data structure is freed. Useful for dealing with more complicated data structures like the ipv4 route cache. - A list of all of the network namespaces so we can iterate over them. - A slab for the network namespace data structure allowing leaks to be spotted.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfsSatyam Sharma1-19/+25
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated accordingly. Issues and brief design overview: (1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there. (2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus, netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of _this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls. (3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt. (4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API, that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure. netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to be used from netconsole.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger4-109/+131
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device. With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier, Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

2007-09-14[NET]: Fix two issues wrt. SO_BINDTODEVICE.David S. Miller1-48/+58
1) Comments suggest that setting optlen to zero will unbind the socket from whatever device it might be attached to. This hasn't been the case since at least 2.2.x because the first thing this function does is return -EINVAL if 'optlen' is less than sizeof(int). This check also means that passing in a two byte string doesn't work so well. It's almost as if this code was testing with "eth?" patterned strings and nothing else :-) Fix this by breaking the logic of this facility out into a seperate function which validates optlen more appropriately. The optlen==0 and small string cases now work properly. 2) We should reset the cached route of the socket after we have made the device binding changes, not before. Reported by Ben Greear.

2007-08-13[NET]: Share correct feature code between bridging and bondingHerbert Xu1-0/+39
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the bonding driver may produce bogus combinations of the checksum flags and SG/TSO. For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that has neither flag set. If both have TSO then this produces an illegal combination. The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to deal with this. In fact, the same code can be used for both. So this patch moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both bonding and bridging. In the process I've made small adjustments such as only setting GSO_ROBUST if at least one constituent device supports it.

Those days are long behind us, all in-tree drivers use the ethtool_ops way, and so we no longer need to support this.

2007-07-31[NET]: Allow netdev REGISTER/CHANGENAME events to failHerbert Xu1-10/+52
This patch adds code to allow errors to be passed up from event handlers of NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_CHANGENAME. It also adds the notifier_from_errno/notifier_to_errnor helpers to pass the errno value up to the notifier caller. If an error is detected when a device is registered, it causes that operation to fail. A NETDEV_UNREGISTER will be sent to all event handlers. Similarly if NETDEV_CHANGENAME fails the original name is restored and a new NETDEV_CHANGENAME event is sent. As such all event handlers must be idempotent with respect to these events. When an event handler is registered NETDEV_REGISTER events are sent for all devices currently registered. Should any of them fail, we will send NETDEV_GOING_DOWN/NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UNREGISTER events to that handler for the devices which have already been registered with it. The handler registration itself will fail. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-31[NET]: Take dev_base_lock when moving device name hash list entryHerbert Xu1-0/+4
When we added name-based hashing the dev_base_lock was designated as the lock to take when changing the name hash list. Unfortunately, because it was a preexisting lock that just happened to be taken in the right spots we neglected to take it in dev_change_name. The race can affect calles of __dev_get_by_name that do so without taking the RTNL. They may end up walking down the wrong hash chain and end up missing the device that they're looking for.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+2
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

I think this bit is not used otherwise but the networking people will know better. This new flag is not recognized by recvfrom and recv. These functions cannot be used for that purpose and the asymmetry this introduces is not worse than the already existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT situations. The patch must be applied on the patch which introduced O_CLOEXEC. It has to remove static from the new get_unused_fd_flags function but since scm.c cannot live in a module the function still hasn't to be exported. Here's a test program to make sure the code works.

2007-07-14[NET]: dev_mcast: add multicast list synchronization helpersPatrick McHardy1-0/+75
The method drivers currently use to synchronize multicast lists is not very pretty: - walk the multicast list - search each entry on a copy of the previous list - if new add to lower device - walk the copy of the previous list - search each entry on the current list - if removed delete from lower device - copy entire list This patch adds a new field to struct dev_addr_list to store the synchronization state and adds two helper functions for synchronization and cleanup.
