* rtnetlink: support specifying device flags on device creationPatrick McHardy2010-02-271-5/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit e8469ed959c373c2ff9e6f488aa5a14971aebe1f Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Date: Tue Feb 23 20:41:30 2010 +0100 Support specifying the initial device flags when creating a device though rtnl_link. Devices allocated by rtnl_create_link() are marked as INITIALIZING in order to surpress netlink registration notifications. To complete setup, rtnl_configure_link() must be called, which performs the device flag changes and invokes the deferred notifiers if everything went well. Two examples: # add macvlan to eth0 # $ ip link add link eth0 up allmulticast on type macvlan [LINK]11: macvlan0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,ALLMULTI,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/ether 26:f8:84:02:f9:2a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [ROUTE]ff00::/8 dev macvlan0 table local metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [ROUTE]fe80::/64 dev macvlan0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [LINK]11: macvlan0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,ALLMULTI,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 link/ether 26:f8:84:02:f9:2a [ADDR]11: macvlan0 inet6 fe80::24f8:84ff:fe02:f92a/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever [ROUTE]local fe80::24f8:84ff:fe02:f92a via :: dev lo table local proto none metric 0 mtu 16436 advmss 16376 hoplimit 0 [ROUTE]default via fe80::215:e9ff:fef0:10f8 dev macvlan0 proto kernel metric 1024 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [NEIGH]fe80::215:e9ff:fef0:10f8 dev macvlan0 lladdr 00:15:e9:f0:10:f8 router STALE [ROUTE]2001:6f8:974::/64 dev macvlan0 proto kernel metric 256 expires 0sec mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [PREFIX]prefix 2001:6f8:974::/64 dev macvlan0 onlink autoconf valid 14400 preferred 131084 [ADDR]11: macvlan0 inet6 2001:6f8:974:0:24f8:84ff:fe02:f92a/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 86399sec preferred_lft 14399sec # add VLAN to eth1, eth1 is down # $ ip link add link eth1 up type vlan id 1000 RTNETLINK answers: Network is down <no events> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.Eric W. Biederman2009-11-081-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

* veth: Allow setting the L3 MTUEric Biederman2009-03-041-6/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* veth: fix dev refcount raceDaniel Lezcano2008-02-201-13/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When deleting the veth driver, veth_close calls netif_carrier_off for the two extremities of the network device. netif_carrier_off on the peer device will fire an event and hold a reference on the peer device. Just after, the peer is unregistered taking the rtnl_lock while the linkwatch_event is scheduled. If __linkwatch_run_queue does not occurs before the unregistering, unregister_netdevice will wait for the dev refcount to reach zero holding the rtnl_lock and linkwatch_event will wait for the rtnl_lock and hold the dev refcount.

* [NET]: rtnl_link: fix use-after-freePatrick McHardy2008-01-211-13/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When unregistering the rtnl_link_ops, all existing devices using the ops are destroyed. With nested devices this may lead to a use-after-free despite the use of for_each_netdev_safe() in case the upper device is next in the device list and is destroyed by the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier. The easy fix is to restart scanning the device list after removing a device. Alternatively we could add new devices to the front of the list to avoid having dependant devices follow the device they depend on. A third option would be to only restart scanning if dev->iflink of the next device matches dev->ifindex of the current one. For now this seems like the safest solution. With this patch, the veth rtnl_link_ops unregistration can use rtnl_link_unregister() directly since it now also handles destruction of multiple devices at once.

* [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [NET]: Virtual ethernet device driver.Pavel Emelyanov2007-10-111-0/+477
Veth stands for Virtual ETHernet. It is a simple tunnel driver that works at the link layer and looks like a pair of ethernet devices interconnected with each other. Mainly it allows to communicate between network namespaces but it can be used as is as well. The newlink callback is organized that way to make it easy to create the peer device in the separate namespace when we have them in kernel. This implementation uses another interface - the RTM_NRELINK message introduced by Patric. Bug fixes from Daniel Lezcano.
