The call to batadv_nc_skb_forward() fits better in batadv_send_skb_to_orig(), as this is where the actual next hop is looked up. To let the caller of batadv_send_skb_to_orig() know wether the skb is transmitted, buffered or failed, the return value is changed from boolean to int. Signed-off-by:

Since the MSB bits of any vid variable are now used for storing flags, print the vid properly by taking the flags away and printing -1 in case of VID representing no real VLAN. Signed-off-by:

In order to make batman-adv fully vlan aware later, the semantic used for variables storing the VLAN ID values has to be changed in order to be adapted to the new one which will be used batman-adv wide. In particular, the VID has to be an "_unsigned_ short int" and its 4 MSB will be used as a flag bitfield, while the remaining 12 bits are used to store the real VID value Signed-off-by:

Instead of dealing with NET_IP_ALIGN during allocation and headroom reservation, it is possible to use netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() which transparently allocate and reserve the correct amount of data Signed-off-by:

Instead of passing a generic combination of flags as argument, it is easier to pass the entire tt_common structure (containing the flags already set) plus a bitfield of event flags that will be unified with the already existing ones before inserting the client in the event queue. In this way invocations of the modified function can be simplified. Signed-off-by:

Only one neigh_node per orig_node should match a given neighbor address, therefore, if more than one matching neigh_node is found, a WARNING has to be triggered to let the user know that something is wrong in the originator state instead of silently skipping the error. Signed-off-by:

Compatibility version is checked upon packet reception before calling any handler. For this reason it does need to be checked once more in the handler itself. Signed-off-by:

Antonio Quartulli authored
the sequence number is not stored in struct neigh_node, therefore there is no need to pass such value to the neigh_node creation procedure. At the moment the value is only used by a debug message, but given the fact that the seqno is not related to the neighbor object, it is better to print it elsewhere. Signed-off-by:

While it makes sense to send each broadcast thrice on 802.11 (WLAN) interfaces as broadcasts are often unreliable on these, there is no reason to do so on other interface types. The increased the overhead can be harmful on low-bandwidth links like VPN connections over slow internet lines, therefore it is better to reduce the number of broadcast packets sent on non-wireless links to one.

Previously batadv_is_wifi_iface() did two things at once: looking up a net_device from an interface index, and determining if it is a wifi device. The second part is useful itself when the caller already has a net_device reference. Signed-off-by:

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. The only downside would be the out of order packets but that is a small price to pay. Signed-off-by:

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.

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. Signed-off-by:
