So far, only net_device * could be passed along with netdevice notifier event. This patch provides a possibility to pass custom structure able to provide info that event listener needs to know.

As Stephen proposed: Since bonding supports configuration via iproute (netlink) and sysfs, I think it is time to purge the old ifenslave code out of Documentation/networking and update the documentation.

Since the xmit_hash_policy pointer is always valid and not dependent on anything, we can change it while the bond device is up and running.

Simon Horman says: ==================== In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module. MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross. Based in part on "v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE" by Pravin B Shelar.

In order to mitigate ongoing incresase in the size of struct skbuff use 16 bit integer offsets rather than pointers for inner_*_headers. This appears to reduce the size of struct skbuff from 0xd0 to 0xc0 bytes on x86_64 with the following all unset. CONFIG_XFRM CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_MODULE NET_SKBUFF_NF_DEFRAG_NEEDED CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER CONFIG_NET_SCHED CONFIG_IPV6_NDISC_NODETYPE CONFIG_NET_DMA CONFIG_NETWORK_SECMARK Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

Florian Fainelli authored
libphy currently always reports a PHY as an external transceiver from the ethtool output. This is inaccurate, because some drivers should be able to tell that a PHY device is an internal transceiver of an Ethernet MAC. Add a new flag (PHY_IS_INTERNAL) which can be set by PHY drivers just like other flags, and a corresponding helper: phy_is_internal() which can be used by networking drivers to query if a given PHY device is internal.

Add a comment which explains the real meaning of XCVR_INTERNAL (PHY and Ethernet MAC in the same package/die) and XCVR_EXTERNAL (PHY and Ethernet MAC in a different package/die). Most if not all of the drivers setting their transceiver type already do it the way the comment describes it.

This changes the PCI power management scheme of the bnx2x driver to be similar to those of most network drivers - the driver will now changes the power state into D3hot whenever the driver will be removed, instead of whenever an interface is unloaded. This change enables the driver to access its eeprom via ethtool callbacks even when interfaces are unloaded (such access requires the function to be in D0active).

Implement the PCI shutdown callback to support un-orderly shutdown, i.e., shutdowns in which the remove callback will not be called. Due to the lack of this functionality, when an un-orderly shutdown occurred, it was possible for wake-on-lan to remain disabled. This is now fixed as the callback introduces the correct place in which `system_state' can be queried and wake-on-lan be configured accordingly.

Use the wrapper functions for getting and setting the driver data using platform_device instead of using dev_{get,set}_drvdata() with &pdev->dev, so we can directly pass a struct platform_device.

This adds the ability to send ICMPv6 echo requests without a raw socket. The equivalent ability for ICMPv4 was added in 2011. Instead of having separate code paths for IPv4 and IPv6, make most of the code in net/ipv4/ping.c dual-stack and only add a few IPv6-specific bits (like the protocol definition) to a new net/ipv6/ping.c. Hopefully this will reduce divergence and/or duplication of bugs in the future. Caveats: - Setting options via ancillary data (e.g., using IPV6_PKTINFO to specify the outgoing interface) is not yet supported. - There are no separate security settings for IPv4 and IPv6; everything is controlled by /proc/net/ipv4/ping_group_range. - The proc interface does not yet display IPv6 ping sockets properly. Tested with a patched copy of ping6 and using raw socket calls. Compiles and works with all of CONFIG_IPV6={n,m,y}. Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Colitti <lorenzo@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
