2012-03-11net: Convert printks to pr_<level>Joe Perches1-55/+55
Use a more current kernel messaging style. Convert a printk block to print_hex_dump. Coalesce formats, align arguments. Use %s, __func__ instead of embedding function names. Some messages that were prefixed with <foo>_close are now prefixed with <foo>_fini. Some ah4 and esp messages are now not prefixed with "ip ". The intent of this patch is to later add something like #define pr_fmt(fmt) "IPv4: " fmt. to standardize the output messages. Text size is trivially reduced.

2011-12-20net: have ipconfig not wait if no dev is availableGerlando Falauto1-0/+4
previous commit 3fb72f1e6e6165c5f495e8dc11c5bbd14c73385c makes IP-Config wait for carrier on at least one network device. Before waiting (predefined value 120s), check that at least one device was successfully brought up. Otherwise (e.g. buggy bootloader which does not set the MAC address) there is no point in waiting for carrier.

2011-11-18ipv4: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACEHerbert Xu1-2/+4
ipv4: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived. It applies the alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom. As the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small. This patch replaces all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE in net/ipv4 with the macro LL_RESERVED_SPACE and direct reference to needed_tailroom. This also fixes the problem with needed_headroom changing between allocating the skb and reserving the head room. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
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.

2010-03-12ipconfig: Handle devices which take some time to come up.David S. Miller1-10/+47
Some network devices, particularly USB ones, take several seconds to fully init and appear in the device list. If the user turned ipconfig on, they are using it for NFS root or some other early booting purpose. So it makes no sense to just flat out fail immediately if the device isn't found. It also doesn't make sense to just jack up the initial wait to something crazy like 10 seconds. Instead, poll immediately, and then periodically once a second, waiting for a usable device to appear. Fail after 12 seconds. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Tested-by: Christian Pellegrin <chripell@fsfe.org>

2009-05-19ipv4: teach ipconfig about the MTU option in DHCPChris Friesen1-4/+37
The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU. This can be useful for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames. This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option correctly. It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU, but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would.

2009-05-17ipconfig: handle case of delayed DHCP serverChris Friesen1-0/+12
If a DHCP server is delayed, it's possible for the client to receive the DHCPOFFER after it has already sent out a new DHCPDISCOVER message from a second interface. The client then sends out a DHCPREQUEST from the second interface, but the server doesn't recognize the device and rejects the request. This patch simply tracks the current device being configured and throws away the OFFER if it is not intended for the current device. A more sophisticated approach would be to put the OFFER information into the struct ic_device rather than storing it globally.

2008-03-04[IPCONFIG]: The kernel gets no IP from some DHCP serversStephen Hemminger1-2/+2
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Based upon a patch by Marcel Wappler: This patch fixes a DHCP issue of the kernel: some DHCP servers (i.e. in the Linksys WRT54Gv5) are very strict about the contents of the DHCPDISCOVER packet they receive from clients. Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and 'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'. These DHCP servers ignore Linux kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to '255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as 'dhclient' or 'udhcpc'). This leads to a not booting system. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

David Brownell pointed out a regression in my recent "Fix ip command line processing" patch. It turns out to be a fairly blatant oversight on my part whereby ic_enable is never set, and thus autoconfiguration is never enabled. Clearly my testing was broken :-( The solution that I have is to set ic_enable to 1 if we hit ip_auto_config_setup(), which basically means that autoconfiguration is activated unless told otherwise. I then flip ic_enable to 0 if ip=off, ip=none, ip=::::::off or ip=::::::none using ic_proto_name(); The incremental patch is below, let me know if a non-incremental version is prepared, as I did as for the original patch to be reverted pending a fix.
