There are multiple problems with the newly added netpoll support:
1) Use-after-free on each netpoll packet.
2) Invoking unsafe code on netpoll/IRQ path.
3) Breaks when netpoll is enabled on the underlying device.
This patch fixes all of these problems. In particular, we now
allocate proper netpoll structures for each underlying device.
We only allow netpoll to be enabled on the bridge when all the
devices underneath it support netpoll. Once it is enabled, we
do not allow non-netpoll devices to join the bridge (until netpoll
is disabled again).
This allows us to do away with the npinfo juggling that caused
problem number 1.
Incidentally this patch fixes number 2 by bypassing unsafe code
such as multicast snooping and netfilter.

What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for
macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single
hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no
sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device.
Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register
an rx_handler for needed net device.

Links for each port are created in sysfs using the device
name, but this could be changed after being added to the
bridge.
As well as being unable to remove interfaces after this
occurs (because userspace tools don't recognise the new
name, and the kernel won't recognise the old name), adding
another interface with the old name to the bridge will
cause an error trying to create the sysfs link.
This fixes the problem by listening for NETDEV_CHANGENAME
notifications and renaming the link.

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.

A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
(in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
help here. The wireless address format used for these
links has only space for three addresses, the
* transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
* receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
the case of managed mode
* the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
network segment
In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.
To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
wireless interface to a bridge.
Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.
To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
within udev.
# cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent
DEVTYPE=wlan
INTERFACE=wlan0
IFINDEX=5
This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.
The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual
device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the
same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.

net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device
didn't do what was intended because the netdev_compute_features
function was designed for conjunctions. So what happened was that
it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device.
This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions
under the new name of netdev_increment_features.
It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the
sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration. This ensures
that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination
since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via
ethtool.

When bridging interfaces with different MTUs, the bridge correctly chooses
the minimum of the MTUs of the physical devices as the bridges MTU. But
when a frame is passed which fits through the incoming, but not through
the outgoing interface, a "Fragmentation Needed" packet is generated.
However, the propagated MTU is hardcoded to 1500, which is wrong in this
situation. The sender will repeat the packet again with the same frame
size, and the same problem will occur again.
Instead of sending 1500, the (correct) MTU value of the bridge is now sent
via PMTU. To achieve this, the corresponding rtable structure is stored
in its net_bridge structure.

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.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the

For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that
has neither flag set. If both have TSO then this produces
an illegal combination.
The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to
deal with this.
In fact, the same code can be used for both. So this patch
moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both

Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that
code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY. Packets with this
bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit
NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST. If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb
is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the
hardware if it passes the header check.
This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag. The same method
can be used to implement TSO ECN support. We simply have to mark packets
with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them. The GSO engine can either fully segment
the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for
further segmentation.

As it is the bridge will only ever declare NETIF_F_IP_CSUM even if all
its constituent devices support NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. This patch fixes
this by supporting the first one out of NETIF_F_NO_CSUM,
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM that is supported by all
constituent devices.

The current stack treats NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_NO_CSUM
identically so we test for them in quite a few places. For the sake
of brevity, I'm adding the macro NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM for these two. We
also test the disjunct of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and the other two in various
places, for that purpose I've added NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM.

There are several bugs in error handling in br_add_bridge:
- when dev_alloc_name fails, allocated net_device is not freed
- unregister_netdev is called when rtnl lock is held
- free_netdev is called before netdev_run_todo has a chance to be run after
unregistering net_device

The earlier round of kobject/sysfs changes to bridge caused
it not to generate a uevent on removal. Don't think any application
cares (not sure about Xen) but since it generates add uevent
it should generate remove as well.

Bridge would crash because of uninitailized timer if STP is used and
device was inserted into a bridge before bridge was up. This got
introduced when the delayed port checking was added. Fix is to not
enable STP on port unless bridge is up.

This is a simpler fix for the two races in bridge device removal.
The Xen race of delif and notify is managed now by a new deleted flag.
No need for barriers or other locking because of rtnl mutex.
The del_timer_sync()'s are unnecessary, because br_stp_disable_port
delete's the timers, and they will finish running before RCU callback.

Speed of a interface may not be available until carrier
is detected in the case of autonegotiation. To get the correct value
we need to recheck speed after carrier event. But the check needs to
be done in a context that is similar to normal ethtool interface (can sleep).
Also, delay check for 1ms to try avoid any carrier bounce transitions.

This fixes the RCU race on bridge delete interface. Basically,
the network device has to be detached from the bridge in the first
step (pre-RCU), rather than later. At that point, no more bridge traffic
will come in, and the other code will not think that network device
is part of a bridge.
This should also fix the XEN test problems.

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!
