2015-03-06switchdev: implement IPv4 fib ndo wrappersScott Feldman
Flesh out ndo wrappers to call into device driver. To call into device driver, the wrapper must interate over route's nexthops to ensure all nexthop devs belong to the same switch device. Currently, there is no support for route's nexthops spanning offloaded and non-offloaded devices, or spanning ports of multiple offload devices. Since switch device ports may be stacked under virtual interfaces (bonds and/or bridges), and the route's nexthop may be on the virtual interface, the wrapper will traverse the nexthop dev down to the base dev. It's the base dev that's passed to the switchdev driver's ndo ops. Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman <sfeldma@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2015-02-19Merge branch 'kconfig' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild Pull kconfig updates from Michal Marek: "Yann E Morin was supposed to take over kconfig maintainership, but this hasn't happened. So I'm sending a few kconfig patches that I collected: - Fix for missing va_end in kconfig - merge_config.sh displays used if given too few arguments - s/boolean/bool/ in Kconfig files for consistency, with the plan to only support bool in the future" * 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: kconfig: use va_end to match corresponding va_start merge_config.sh: Display usage if given too few arguments kconfig: use bool instead of boolean for type definition attributes
2015-02-01swdevice: add new apis to set and del bridge port attributesRoopa Prabhu
This patch adds two new api's netdev_switch_port_bridge_setlink and netdev_switch_port_bridge_dellink to offload bridge port attributes to switch port (The names of the apis look odd with 'switch_port_bridge', but am more inclined to change the prefix of the api to something else. Will take any suggestions). The api's look at the NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD feature flag to pass bridge port attributes to the port device.

2015-01-18switchdev: introduce switchdev notifierJiri Pirko
This patch introduces new notifier for purposes of exposing events which happen on switch driver side. The consumers of the event messages are mainly involved masters, namely bridge and ovs. Suggested-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman <sfeldma@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-12-02bridge: call netdev_sw_port_stp_update when bridge port STP status changesScott Feldman
To notify switch driver of change in STP state of bridge port, add new .ndo op and provide switchdev wrapper func to call ndo op. Use it in bridge code then.

2014-12-02net: introduce generic switch devices supportJiri Pirko
The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is only one ndo defined: - for getting physical switch id is in place. Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.
