packet: deliver VLAN TCI to userspace · 393e52e3

Patrick McHardy authored Jul 14, 2008

Store the VLAN tag in the auxillary data/tpacket2_hdr so userspace can
properly deal with hardware VLAN tagging/stripping.

packet: support extensible, 64 bit clean mmaped ring structure · bbd6ef87

Patrick McHardy authored Jul 14, 2008

The tpacket_hdr is not 64 bit clean due to use of an unsigned long
and can't be extended because the following struct sockaddr_ll needs
to be at a fixed offset.

Add support for a version 2 tpacket protocol that removes these
limitations.

Userspace can query the header size through a new getsockopt option
and change the protocol version through a setsockopt option. The
changes needed to switch to the new protocol version are:

1. replace struct tpacket_hdr by struct tpacket2_hdr
2. query header len and save
3. set protocol version to 2
 - set up ring as usual
4. for getting the sockaddr_ll, use (void *)hdr + TPACKET_ALIGN(hdrlen)
   instead of (void *)hdr + TPACKET_ALIGN(sizeof(struct tpacket_hdr))

Steps 2 and 4 can be omitted if the struct sockaddr_ll isn't needed.

vlan: deliver packets received with VLAN acceleration to network taps · bc1d0411

Patrick McHardy authored Jul 14, 2008

When VLAN header stripping is used, packets currently bypass packet
sockets (and other network taps) completely. For locally existing
VLANs, they appear directly on the VLAN device, for unknown VLANs
they are silently dropped.

Add a new function netif_nit_deliver() to deliver incoming packets
to all network interface taps and use it in __vlan_hwaccel_rx() to
make VLAN packets visible on the underlying device.

vlan: Don't store VLAN tag in cb · 6aa895b0

Patrick McHardy authored Jul 14, 2008

Use a real skb member to store the skb to avoid clashes with qdiscs,
which are allowed to use the cb area themselves. As currently only real
devices that consume the skb set the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX flag, no explicit
invalidation is neccessary.

The new member fills a hole on 64 bit, the skb layout changes from:

tipc: Optimization to multicast name lookup algorithm · 968edbe1

Allan Stephens authored Jul 14, 2008

This patch simplifies and speeds up TIPC's algorithm for identifying
on-node and off-node destinations that overlap a multicast name
sequence range.  Rather than traversing the list of all known name
publications within the cluster, it now traverses the (potentially
much shorter) list of name publications made by the node itself, and
determines if any off-node destinations exist by comparing the sizes
of the two lists.  (Since the node list must be a subset of the
cluster list, a difference in sizes means that at least one off-node
destination must exist.)

tipc: Fix bug in scope checking for multicast messages · 08d2cf0f

Allan Stephens authored Jul 14, 2008

This patch ensures that TIPC's multicast message name lookup
algorithm does individualized scope checking for each published
name it examines.  Previously, scope checking was only done for
the first name in a name table publication list, which could
result in incoming multicast messages being delivered to ports
publishing names with "node" scope, or not being delivered to
ports publishing names with "cluster" or "zone" scope.

tipc: Fix race condition that could cause accept() to fail · 2da59918

Allan Stephens authored Jul 14, 2008

This patch ensurs that accept() returns successfully even when
the newly created socket is immediately disconnected by its peer.
Previously, accept() would fail if it was unable to pass back
the optional address info for the socket's peer before the
socket became disconnected; TIPC now allows accept() to gather
peer address information after disconnection.  As a bonus, the
revised code accesses the socket's port more efficiently, without
the overhead incurred by a reference table lookup.

Though, from the slab point of view steps 3 and 4 are equivalent on
most architectures. So, lets skip 3 pages attempt.

By the way, should we switch from .doit to .dumpit interface here?

tun: Fix/rewrite packet filtering logic · f271b2cc

Max Krasnyansky authored Jul 14, 2008

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.
