The tun code does not cope gracefully if the network device goes away before
the tun file descriptor is closed. It looks like we can trigger this with
rmmod, and moving tun devices between network namespaces will allow this
to be triggered when network namespaces exit.
To fix this I introduce an intermediate data structure tun_file which
holds a count of users and a pointer to the struct tun_struct. tun_get
increments that reference count if it is greater than 0. tun_put decrements
that reference count and detaches from the network device if the count is 0.
While we have a file attached to the network device I hold a reference
to the network device keeping it from going away completely.
When a network device is unregistered I decrement the count of the
attached tun_file and if that was the last user I detach the tun_file,
and all processes on read_wait are woken up to ensure they do not
sleep indefinitely. As some of those sleeps happen with the count on
the tun device elevated waking up the read waiters ensures that
tun_file will be detached in a timely manner.

This results in peculiar holding of references to the network namespace

Please see the following thread to get some context on this
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121564433018903&w=2
Basically the issue is that current multi-cast filtering stuff in
the TUN/TAP driver is seriously broken.
Original patch went in without proper review and ACK. It was broken and
confusing to start with and subsequent patches broke it completely.
To give you an idea of what's broken here are some of the issues:
- Very confusing comments throughout the code that imply that the
character device is a network interface in its own right, and that packets
are passed between the two nics. Which is completely wrong.
- Wrong set of ioctls is used for setting up filters. They look like
shortcuts for manipulating state of the tun/tap network interface but
in reality manipulate the state of the TX filter.
- ioctls that were originally used for setting address of the the TX filter
got "fixed" and now set the address of the network interface itself. Which
made filter totaly useless.
- Filtering is done too late. Instead of filtering early on, to avoid
unnecessary wakeups, filtering is done in the read() call.
The list goes on and on :)
So the patch cleans all that up. It introduces simple and clean interface for
setting up TX filters (TUNSETTXFILTER + tun_filter spec) and does filtering
before enqueuing the packets.
TX filtering is useful in the scenarios where TAP is part of a bridge, in
which case it gets all broadcast, multicast and potentially other packets when
the bridge is learning. So for example Ethernet tunnelling app may want to
setup TX filters to avoid tunnelling multicast traffic. QEMU and other
hypervisors can push RX filtering that is currently done in the guest into the
host context therefore saving wakeups and unnecessary data transfer.

The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap.
TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue().
App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup.
Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but
the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But
in the case of persistent devices this happens only during
initial setup.
The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens
it we clear xoff state and that gets things moving again.

The problem with introducing checksum offload and gso to tun is they
need to set dev->features to enable GSO and/or checksumming, which is
supposed to be done before register_netdevice(), ie. as part of
TUNSETIFF.
Unfortunately, TUNSETIFF has always just ignored flags it doesn't
understand, so there's no good way of detecting whether the kernel
supports new IFF_ flags.
This patch implements a TUNGETFEATURES ioctl which returns all the valid IFF
flags. It could be extended later to include other features.
Here's an example program which uses it:
#include <linux/if_tun.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>

unsigned int flag;
const char *name;
} known_flags[] = {
{ IFF_TUN, "TUN" },
{ IFF_TAP, "TAP" },
{ IFF_NO_PI, "NO_PI" },
{ IFF_ONE_QUEUE, "ONE_QUEUE" },
};
int main()
{
unsigned int features, i;
int netfd = open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR);
if (netfd < 0)
err(1, "Opening /dev/net/tun");
if (ioctl(netfd, TUNGETFEATURES, &features) != 0) {
printf("Kernel does not support TUNGETFEATURES, guessing\n");
features = (IFF_TUN|IFF_TAP|IFF_NO_PI|IFF_ONE_QUEUE);
}
printf("Available features are: ");
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(known_flags)/sizeof(known_flags[0]); i++) {
if (features & known_flags[i].flag) {
features &= ~known_flags[i].flag;
printf("%s ", known_flags[i].name);
}
}
if (features)
printf("(UNKNOWN %#x)", features);
printf("\n");
return 0;

This is basically means that a net is set for a new device, but
actually also involves two more steps:
1. mark the tun device as "local", i.e. do not allow for it to
move across namespaces.
This is done so, since tun device is most often associated to some
file (and thus to some process) and moving the device alone is not
valid while keeping the file and the process outside. The need in
ability to move a detached persistent device is to be investigated
later.
2. get the tun device's net when tun becomes attached and put one
when it becomes detached.
This is needed to handle the case when a task owning the tun dies,
but a files lives for some more time - in this case we must not
allow for net to be freed, since its exit hook will spoil that file's
private data by unregistering the tun from under tun_chr_close.

Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9806
The TUN/TAP driver only permits one-way transitions of IFF_NO_PI or
IFF_ONE_QUEUE during the lifetime of a tap/tun interface. Note that
tun_set_iff contains
541 if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_NO_PI)
542 tun->flags |= TUN_NO_PI;
543
544 if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_ONE_QUEUE)
545 tun->flags |= TUN_ONE_QUEUE;
This is easily fixed by adding else branches which clear these bits.
Steps to reproduce:
This is easily reproduced by setting an interface persistant using tunctl then
attempting to open it as IFF_TAP or IFF_TUN, without asserting the IFF_NO_PI
flag. The ioctl() will succeed and the ifr.flags word is not modified, but the
interface remains in IFF_NO_PI mode (as it was set by tunctl).

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.

the permissions on the /dev/net/tun device node so that they can
actually use those devices will _also_ allow those users to create
arbitrary new devices of their own. This patch corrects that, and
adjusts the recommended permissions for the device node accordingly.

Currently tun/tap only supports the EN10MB ARP type. For use with
wireless and other networking types it should be possible to set the
ARP type via an ioctl.
Patch v2: Included check that the tap interface is down before changing the
link type out from underneath it

This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.
Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

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!
