  • 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.)

  • a19800d70   net: Add STP demux layer ... Browse Code »

    Add small STP demux layer for demuxing STP PDUs based on MAC address.
    This is needed to run both GARP and STP in parallel (or even load the
    modules) since both use LLC_SAP_BSPAN.

    The NETFILTER_ADVANCED option hides lots of the rather obscure netfilter
    options when disabled and provides defaults (M) that should allow to
    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.

    This patchset moves non-filesystem interfaces of v9fs from fs/9p to net/9p.
    It moves the transport, packet marshalling and connection layers to net/9p
    leaving only the VFS related files in fs/9p. This work is being done in
    preparation for in-kernel 9p servers as well as alternate 9p clients (other
    than VFS).

    and some example test programs can be found in:

    It looks like I was stupid and made NetLabel depend on CONFIG_NET and not
    CONFIG_INET, the patch below should fix this by making NetLabel depend on
    CONFIG_INET and CONFIG_SECURITY. Please review and apply for 2.6.19.

  • 54208991e   [NET]: Kconfig: NETCONSOLE and NETPOLL together ... Browse Code »

    Put NETCONSOLE and NETPOLL options together since they are related.
    This cuts down on the hassle of flipping back and forth between
    the Networking menu and the Network drivers menu to change their
    config settings.

    Tested with menuconfig, gconfig, and xconfig.
    gconfig has a small problem with this. I think that it's
    a bug in gconfig and I will take it up with Romain Lievin.
