  • c1f19b51d   net: support time stamping in phy devices. ... Browse Code »

    This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps
    from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and
    outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible
    time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are
    deferred for later delivery by the driver.

    The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl
    and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may
    optionally implement these functions.

  • fd558d186   l2tp: Split pppol2tp patch into separate l2tp and ppp parts ... Browse Code »

    This patch splits the pppol2tp driver into separate L2TP and PPP parts
    to prepare for L2TPv3 support. In L2TPv3, protocols other than PPP can
    be carried, so this split creates a common L2TP core that will handle
    the common L2TP bits which protocol support modules such as PPP will
    use.

    Note that the existing pppol2tp module is split into l2tp_core and
    l2tp_ppp by this change.

    There are no feature changes here. Internally, however, there are
    significant changes, mostly to handle the separation of PPP-specific
    data from the L2TP session and to provide hooks in the core for
    modules like PPP to access.

    RPS currently depends on SMP and SYSFS

    Adding a CONFIG_RPS makes sense in case this requirement changes in the
    future. This patch saves about 1500 bytes of kernel text in case SMP is
    on but SYSFS is off.

  • 1dacc76d0   net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasks ... Browse Code »

    Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events
    are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of
    pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms
    cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of
    strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices
    disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a
    32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is
    lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00.

    The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller
    fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort.

    A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the
    ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a
    32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its
    internal information, which is worse than it not getting the
    information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a
    custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a
    severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern
    access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this
    patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event.

    A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink
    users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for
    64-bit quantities.

    In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to
    send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send
    the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in
    skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read
    from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only
    the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was
    suggested by David Miller, my original approach required
    always sending two skbs but that had various small problems.

    To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the
    MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and
    recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg
    parameter.

    I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't
    think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read()
    rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong
    (64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do
    this, nor would it be a regression.

  • 9ec767160   net: add IEEE 802.15.4 socket family implementation ... Browse Code »

    Add support for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. This implementation
    is neither certified nor complete, but aims to that goal. This commit contains
    only the socket interface for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks.
    One can either send RAW datagrams or use SOCK_DGRAM to encapsulate data
    inside normal IEEE 802.15.4 packets.

    Configuration interface, drivers and software MAC 802.15.4 implementation will
    follow.

    Initial implementation was done by Maxim Gorbachyov, Maxim Osipov and Pavel
    Smolensky as a research project at Siemens AG. Later the stack was heavily
    reworked to better suit the linux networking model, and is now maitained
    as an open project partially sponsored by Siemens.

  • d314774cf   netdev: network device operations infrastructure ... Browse Code »
    46

    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.

  • 3891845e1   netns: Coexist with the sysfs limitations v2 ... Browse Code »

    To make testing of the network namespace simpler allow
    the network namespace code and the sysfs code to be
    compiled and run at the same time. To do this only
    virtual devices are allowed in the additional network
    namespaces and those virtual devices are not placed
    in the kobject tree.

    Since virtual devices don't actually do anything interesting
    hardware wise that needs device management there should
    be no loss in keeping them out of the kobject tree and
    by implication sysfs. The gain in ease of testing
    and code coverage should be significant.

    Changelog:

    v2: As pointed out by Benjamin Thery it only makes sense to call
    device_rename in the initial network namespace for now.

  • 91da11f87   net: Distributed Switch Architecture protocol support ... Browse Code »

    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.)

  • 9dd776b6d   [NET]: Add network namespace clone & unshare support. ... Browse Code »

    This patch allows you to create a new network namespace
    using sys_clone, or sys_unshare.

    As the network namespace is still experimental and under development
    clone and unshare support is only made available when CONFIG_NET_NS is
    selected at compile time.

    As this patch introduces network namespace support into code paths
    that exist when the CONFIG_NET is not selected there are a few
    additions made to net_namespace.h to allow a few more functions
    to be used when the networking stack is not compiled in.
