| * can: vxcan: improve handling of missing peer name attributeOliver Hartkopp2018-01-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Picking up the patch from Serhey Popovych (commit 191cdb3822e5df6b3c8, "veth: Be more robust on network device creation when no attributes"). When the peer name attribute is not provided the former implementation tries to register the given device name twice ... which leads to -EEXIST. If only one device name is given apply an automatic generated and valid name for the peer.

* | can: vxcan: Use common error handling code in vxcan_newlink()Markus Elfring2017-12-011-8/+8
|/ | | | | | | | | | | Add a jump target so that a bit of exception handling can be better reused at the end of this function. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* can: enable CAN FD for virtual CAN devices by defaultOliver Hartkopp2017-06-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | CAN FD capable CAN interfaces can handle (classic) CAN 2.0 frames too. New users usually fail at their first attempt to explore CAN FD on virtual CAN interfaces due to the current CAN_MTU default. Set the MTU to CANFD_MTU by default to reduce this confusion. If someone *really* needs a 'classic CAN'-only device this can be set with the 'ip' tool with e.g. 'ip link set vcan0 mtu 16' as before.

* net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.David S. Miller2017-06-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* can: add Virtual CAN Tunnel driver (vxcan)Oliver Hartkopp2017-04-251-0/+316
Similar to the virtual ethernet driver veth, vxcan implements a local CAN traffic tunnel between two virtual CAN network devices. See Kconfig entry for details. Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@hartkopp.net> Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>
