  • The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to
    a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info
    available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in
    which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately
    40 VFs were created per interface.

    Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will
    calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate
    enough data to satisfy the request.

  • While tracking dev_base_lock users, I found decnet used it in
    dnet_select_source(), but for a wrong purpose:

    Writers only hold RTNL, not dev_base_lock, so readers must use RCU if
    they cannot use RTNL.

    Adds an rcu_head in struct dn_ifaddr and handle proper RCU management.

    Adds __rcu annotation in dn_route as well.

  • …it 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.

  • Adds RCU management to the list of netdevices.

    Convert some for_each_netdev() users to RCU version, if
    it can avoid read_lock-ing dev_base_lock

    Ie:
    read_lock(&dev_base_loack);
    for_each_netdev(net, dev)
    some_action();
    read_unlock(&dev_base_lock);

    becomes :

    rcu_read_lock();
    for_each_netdev_rcu(net, dev)
    some_action();
    rcu_read_unlock();

  • 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_ioctl

    were 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.

  • Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device
    list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable
    and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev
    loop. A few most complicated places were converted to using
    first_netdev()/next_netdev().

  • Introduce RTA_TABLE route attribute and FRA_TABLE routing rule attribute
    to hold 32 bit routing table IDs. Usespace compatibility is provided by
    continuing to accept and send the rtm_table field, but because of its
    limited size it can only carry the low 8 bits of the table ID. This
    implies that if larger IDs are used, _all_ userspace programs using them
    need to use RTA_TABLE.

  • The typedef for dn_address has been removed in favour of using __le16
    or __u16 directly as appropriate. All the DECnet header files are
    updated accordingly.

    The byte ordering of dn_eth2dn() and dn_dn2eth() are both changed
    since just about all their callers wanted network order rather than
    host order, so the conversion is now done in the functions themselves.

    Several missed endianess conversions have been picked up during the
    conversion process. The nh_gw field in struct dn_fib_info has been
    changed from a 32 bit field to 16 bits as it ought to be.

    One or two cases of using htons rather than dn_htons in the routing
    code have been found and fixed.

    There are still a few warnings to fix, but this patch deals with the
    important cases.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
