    Now that most network device drivers in (all but one in x86_64 allmodconfig)
    support net_device_ops. Expose it as a configuration parameter. Still
    need to address even older 32 bit drivers, and other arch before
    compatiablity can be scheduled for removal in some future release.

  • 2f90b8657   ixgbe: this patch adds support for DCB to the kernel and ixgbe driver ... Browse Code »

    This adds support for Data Center Bridging (DCB) features in the ixgbe
    driver and adds an rtnetlink interface for configuring DCB to the
    kernel. The DCB feature support included are Priority Grouping (PG) -
    which allows bandwidth guarantees to be allocated to groups to traffic
    based on the 802.1q priority, and Priority Based Flow Control (PFC) -
    which introduces a new MAC control PAUSE frame which works at
    granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the link (IEEE 802.3x).

  • d314774cf   netdev: network device operations infrastructure ... Browse Code »
    44

    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.)

    run a distribution firewall without further thinking.

    Defaults to 'y' to avoid breaking current configurations.

  • 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.
