Hao Zheng 0a85df0046 vlan: Add function to retrieve EtherType from vlan packets.
Depending on how a packet is vlan tagged (i.e. hardware accelerated or
not), the encapsulated protocol is stored in different locations.  This
provides a consistent method of accessing that protocol, which is needed
by drivers, security checks, etc.

Jesse Gross 0988c4c7fb vlan: Calling vlan_hwaccel_do_receive() is always valid.
It is now acceptable to receive vlan tagged packets at any time,
even if CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q is not set.  This means that calling
vlan_hwaccel_do_receive() should not result in BUG() but rather just
behave as if there were no vlan devices configured.

Jesse Gross 3701e51382 vlan: Centralize handling of hardware acceleration.
Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration
must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass
the stripped tag to a specialized receive function.  This is

different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a
significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping
it in the networking core.

This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms
of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the
following:
* On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network
core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing
the header if no group
* vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main
receive routines
* On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software
if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic
out in upper layers, such as bonding.

There are a number of advantages to this:
* Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once.
* Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode
(good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode).
* Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which
avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely
necessary.
* Consolidates common code in core networking.

Jesse Gross 65ac6a5fa6 vlan: Avoid hash table lookup to find group.
A struct net_device always maps to zero or one vlan groups and we
always know the device when we are looking up a group.  We currently
do a hash table lookup on the device to find the group but it is
much simpler to just store a pointer.

Patrick McHardy 5e75659305 vlan: support "loose binding" to the underlying network device
Currently the UP/DOWN state of VLANs is synchronized to the state of the
underlying device, meaning all VLANs are set down once the underlying
device is set down. This causes all routes to the VLAN devices to vanish.

Add a flag to specify a "loose binding" mode, in which only the operstate
is transfered, but the VLAN device state is independant.

Eric Dumazet 05423b2413 vlan: allow null VLAN ID to be used
We currently use a 16 bit field (vlan_tci) to store VLAN ID/PRIO on a skb.

Null value is used as a special value, meaning vlan tagging not enabled.
This forbids use of null vlan ID.

As pointed by David, some drivers use the 3 high order bits (PRIO)

As VLAN ID is 12 bits, we can use the remaining bit (CFI) as a flag, and
allow null VLAN ID.

In case future code really wants to use VLAN_CFI_MASK, we'll have to use
a bit outside of vlan_tci.

#define VLAN_PRIO_MASK         0xe000 /* Priority Code Point */
#define VLAN_PRIO_SHIFT        13
#define VLAN_CFI_MASK          0x1000 /* Canonical Format Indicator */
#define VLAN_TAG_PRESENT       VLAN_CFI_MASK
#define VLAN_VID_MASK          0x0fff /* VLAN Identifier */

Herbert Xu e1c096e251 vlan: Add GRO interfaces
This patch adds GRO interfaces for hardware-assisted VLAN reception.
With this in place we're now at parity with LRO as far as the
interface is concerned.  That is, you can now take any LRO driver
and convert it over to GRO.

As the CB memory clashes with GRO's use of CB, I've removed it
entirely by storing dev in skb->dev.  This is OK because VLAN
gets called first thing in netif_receive_skb and skb->dev is
not used in between us calling netif_rx and netif_receive_skb
getting called.

Patrick McHardy 9b22ea5609 net: fix packet socket delivery in rx irq handler
The changes to deliver hardware accelerated VLAN packets to packet
sockets (commit bc1d0411) caused a warning for non-NAPI drivers.
The __vlan_hwaccel_rx() function is called directly from the drivers
RX function, for non-NAPI drivers that means its still in RX IRQ
context:

Split hardware accelerated VLAN reception into two parts to fix this:

  device lookup, then calls netif_receive_skb()/netif_rx()

- vlan_hwaccel_do_receive(), which is invoked by netif_receive_skb()
  in softirq context, performs the real reception and delivery to
  packet sockets.

Patrick McHardy 11a100f844 vlan: avoid header copying and linearisation where possible
- vlan_dev_reorder_header() is only called on the receive path after
  calling skb_share_check(). This means we can use skb_cow() since
  all we need is a writable header.

- vlan_dev_hard_header() includes a work-around for some apparently
  broken out of tree MPLS code. The hard_header functions can expect
  to always have a headroom of at least there own hard_header_len
  available, so the reallocation check is unnecessary.

- __vlan_put_tag() can use skb_cow_head() to avoid the skb_unshare()
  copy when the header is writable.

necessary at all.

By default GVRP is disabled because we only support the applicant-only
participant model, which means it should not be enabled on vlans that

determine that, the user is responsible for enabling it.

The code is pretty small and low impact, its wrapped in a config
option though because it depends on the GARP implementation and

We'll have to lookup the vlan_group by two keys - ifindex and

Besides, this will eliminate one more place in the networking,

Pavel Emelyanov 67727184f2 [VLAN]: Reduce memory consumed by vlan_groups
Currently each vlan_groupd contains 8 pointers on arrays with 512
pointers on struct net_device each  :)  Such a construction "in many
cases ... wastes memory".

My proposal is to allow for some of these arrays pointers be NULL,
meaning that there are no devices in it. When a new device is added
to the vlan_group, the appropriate array is allocated.

The check in vlan_group_get_device's is safe, since the pointer
vg->vlan_devices_arrays[x] can only switch from NULL to not-NULL.
The vlan_group_prealloc_vid() is guarded with rtnl lock and is
also safe.

I've checked (I hope that) all the places, that use these arrays
and found, that the register_vlan_dev is the only place, that can
put a vlan device on an empty vlan_group.

Rough calculations shows, that after the patch a setup with a
single vlan dev (or up to 512 vlans with sequential vids) will
occupy approximately 8 times less memory.

The question I have is - does this patch makes sense, or a totally
new structures are required to store the vlan_devs?

Eric W. Biederman 881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
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.

Patrick McHardy 8c979c26a0 [VLAN]: Fix MAC address handling
The VLAN MAC address handling is broken in multiple ways. When the address
differs when setting it, the real device is put in promiscous mode twice,
but never taken out again. Additionally it doesn't resync when the real
device's address is changed and needlessly puts it in promiscous mode when
the vlan device is still down.

Fix by moving address handling to vlan_dev_open/vlan_dev_stop and properly
deal with address changes in the device notifier. Also switch to
dev_unicast_add (which needs the exact same handling).

Since the set_mac_address handler is identical to the generic ethernet one
with these changes, kill it and use ether_setup().

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo b0e380b1d8 [SK_BUFF]: unions of just one member don't get anything done, kill them
Renaming skb->h to skb->transport_header, skb->nh to skb->network_header and
skb->mac to skb->mac_header, to match the names of the associated helpers
(skb[_[re]set]_{transport,network,mac}_header).

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 98e399f82a [SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_mac_header()
For the places where we need a pointer to the mac header, it is still legal to
touch skb->mac.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it
to another layer header.

This one also converts some more cases to skb_reset_mac_header() that my
regex missed as it had no spaces before nor after '=', ugh.

Dan Aloni 5c15bdec5c [VLAN]: Avoid a 4-order allocation.
This patch splits the vlan_group struct into a multi-allocated struct. On
x86_64, the size of the original struct is a little more than 32KB, causing
a 4-order allocation, which is prune to problems caused by buddy-system
external fragmentation conditions.

I couldn't just use vmalloc() because vfree() cannot be called in the
softirq context of the RCU callback.

David S. Miller 7ea49ed73c [VLAN]: Make sure bonding packet drop checks get done in hwaccel RX path.
Since __vlan_hwaccel_rx() is essentially bypassing the
netif_receive_skb() call that would have occurred if we did the VLAN
decapsulation in software, we are missing the skb_bond() call and the
assosciated checks it does.

Export those checks via an inline function, skb_bond_should_drop(),
and use this in __vlan_hwaccel_rx().

Stephen Hemminger 0610d11b53 [VLAN]: __vlan_hwaccel_rx can use the faster ether_compare_addr
The inline function compare_ether_addr is faster than memcmp.
Also, don't need to drag in proc_fs.h, the only reference to proc_dir_entry
is a pointer so the declaration is needed here.

David S. Miller f2ccd8fa06 [NET]: Kill skb->real_dev
Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond()
decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original
device into packet_type->func() as an argument.

It remains to be seen whether we can use this same
exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
