2013-01-10veth: fix a NULL deref in netif_carrier_offEric Dumazet
In commit d0e2c55e7c94 (veth: avoid a NULL deref in veth_stats_one) we now clear the peer pointers in veth_dellink() veth_close() must therefore make sure the peer pointer is set.

2013-01-07veth: avoid a NULL deref in veth_stats_oneEric Dumazet
commit 2681128f0ced8a (veth: extend device features) added a NULL deref in veth_stats_one(), as veth_get_stats64() was not testing if the peer device was setup or not. At init time, we call dev_get_stats() before veth pair is fully setup.

2012-11-30rtnelink: remove unused parameter from rtnl_create_link().Rami Rosen
This patch removes an unused parameter (src_net) from rtnl_create_link() method and from the method single invocation, in veth. This parameter was used in the past when calling ops->get_tx_queues(src_net, tb) in rtnl_create_link(). The get_tx_queues() member of rtnl_link_ops was replaced by two methods, get_num_tx_queues() and get_num_rx_queues(), which do not get any parameter. This was done in commit d40156aa5ecbd51fed932ed4813df82b56e5ff4d by Jiri Pirko ("rtnl: allow to specify different num for rx and tx queue count").

2012-08-09veth: Allow to create peer link with given ifindexPavel Emelyanov
The ifinfomsg is in there (thanks kaber@ for foreseeing this long time ago), so take the given ifidex and register netdev with it. Ben noticed, that this code path previously ignored ifmp->ifi_index and userland could be passing in garbage. Thus it may now fail occasionally because the value clashes with an existing interface. To address this it's assumed that if the caller specifies the ifindex for the veth master device, then it's aware of this possibility and should explicitly specify (or set to 0 for auto-assignment) the peer's ifindex as well. With this the compatibility with old tools not setting ifindex is preserved. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-04-29ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed APIDavid Decotigny
This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation.

2011-03-21veth: Fix the byte countersEric W. Biederman
Commit 44540960 "veth: move loopback logic to common location" introduced a bug in the packet counters. I don't understand why that happened as it is not explained in the comments and the mut check in dev_forward_skb retains the assumption that skb->len is the total length of the packet. I just measured this emperically by setting up a veth pair between two noop network namespaces setting and attempting a telnet connection between the two. I saw three packets in each direction and the byte counters were exactly 14*3 = 42 bytes high in each direction. I got the actual packet lengths with tcpdump.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h 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.

2009-11-08net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.Eric W. Biederman
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace with a well known name. We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing logic into rtnl_link_get_net. In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base device source network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

In commit 23289a37e2b127dfc4de1313fba15bb4c9f0cd5b (net: add a list_head parameter to dellink() method), I forgot to actually use this parameter in veth_dellink. I remember feeling a bit uncomfortable about veth_close(), because it does : netif_carrier_off(dev); netif_carrier_off(priv->peer); Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-28net: add a list_head parameter to dellink() methodEric Dumazet
Adding a list_head parameter to rtnl_link_ops->dellink() methods allow us to queue devices on a list, in order to dismantle them all at once. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-10-03this_cpu: Eliminate get/put_cpuChristoph Lameter
There are cases where we can use this_cpu_ptr and as the result of using this_cpu_ptr() we no longer need to determine the currently executing cpu. In those places no get/put_cpu combination is needed anymore. The local cpu variable can be eliminated. Preemption still needs to be disabled and enabled since the modifications of the per cpu variables is not atomic. There may be multiple per cpu variables modified and those must all be from the same processor.

2009-07-23veth: Zero timestamp in xmit path.Ben Greear
This patch zero's the timestamp before handing the packet to the peer interface. This lets the peer recalculate the rx timestamp if it cares about timestamps. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-07-05net: use NETDEV_TX_OK instead of 0 in ndo_start_xmit() functionsPatrick McHardy
This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK. Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be handled in a seperate patch. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-06-25Revert "veth: prevent oops caused by netdev destructor"David S. Miller
This reverts commit ae0e8e82205c903978a79ebf5e31c670b61fa5b4. This change had two problems: 1) Since it frees the stats in the drivers' close method, we can OOPS in the transmit routine. 2) stats are no longer remembered across ifdown/ifup which disagrees with how every other device operates. Thanks to analysis and test patch from Serge E. Hallyn and initial OOPS report by Sachin Sant. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-04-27veth: prevent oops caused by netdev destructorStephen Hemminger
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> The veth driver will oops if sysfs hooks are open while module is removed. The net device destructor can not point to code in a module; basically there are only two possible safe values: NULL - no destructor, or free_netdev - free on last use Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-03veth: Allow setting the L3 MTUEric Biederman
The limitation to only 1500 byte mtu's limits the utility of the veth device for testing routing. So implement implement a configurable MTU. For consistency I drop packets on the receive side when they are larger than the MTU. I count those drops. And I allow a little padding for vlan headers. I also test the mtu when a new device is created with netlink because that path currently bypasses the current mtu setting code.
