In drivers/net/macvlan.c, when rtnl_link_register() fails in
macvlan_init_module(), there is no point to set it (second time in
this method) to macvlan_handle_frame; macvlan_init_module() will
return a negative number, so instead this patch sets
macvlan_handle_frame_hook to NULL.Signed-off-by: Rami Rosen

When the lower device's carrier is off, the macvlan devices's
carrier state should be checked to decide whether it needs to
be turned off. Currently the lower device's state is checked
a second time.This still works, but unnecessarily tries to turn off the
carrier when its already off.Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

Only devices that are UP are in the hash, so macvlan_broadcast() doesn't
need to check for IFF_UP.Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

Don't allow to nest macvlan devices since it will cause lockdep

Since hardware header operations are part of the protocol class
not the device instance, make them into a separate object and

Add inline for common usage of hardware header creation, and
fix bug in IPV6 mcast where the assumption about negative return is
an errno. Negative return from hard_header means not enough space
was available,(ie -N bytes).Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

For the operations
get-tx-csum
get-sg
get-tso
get-ufo
the default ethtool_op_xxx behavior is fine for all drivers, so we
permit op==NULL to imply the default behavior.This provides a more uniform behavior across all drivers, eliminating
ethtool(8) "ioctl not supported" errors on older drivers that had
not been updated for the latest sub-ioctls.The ethtool_op_xxx() functions are left exported, in case anyone
wishes to call them directly from a driver-private implementation --
a not-uncommon case. Should an ethtool_op_xxx() helper remain unused
for a while, except by net/core/ethtool.c, we can un-export it at a
later date.[ Resolved conflicts with set/get value ethtool patch... -DaveM ]

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables. The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctlwere modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.For now the ifindex generator is left global.
Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman
