* [IPV6] NDISC: Set per-entry is_router flag in Proxy NA.Ville Nuorvala2006-09-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have sent NA with router flag from the node-wide forwarding configuration. This is not appropriate for proxy NA, and it should be set according to each proxy entry's configuration. This is used by Mobile IPv6 home agent to support physical home link in acting as a proxy router for mobile node which is not a router, for example. Based on MIPL2 kernel patch.

* [NEIGHBOUR]: Use ALIGN() macro.Stephen Hemminger2006-09-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Rather than opencoding the mask, it looks better to use ALIGN() macro from kernel.h. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NEIGH]: Move netlink neighbour bits to linux/neighbour.hThomas Graf2006-09-221-37/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moves netlink neighbour bits to linux/neighbour.h. Also moves bits to be exported to userspace from net/neighbour.h to linux/neighbour.h and removes __KERNEL__ guards, userspace is not supposed to be using it. rtnetlink_rcv_msg() is not longer required to parse attributes for the neighbour layer, remove dependency on obsolete and buggy rta_buf.

* [NEIGH]: Fix IP-over-ATM and ARP interaction.Simon Kelley2006-05-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The classical IP over ATM code maintains its own IPv4 <-> <ATM stuff> ARP table, using the standard neighbour-table code. The neigh_table_init function adds this neighbour table to a linked list of all neighbor tables which is used by the functions neigh_delete() neigh_add() and neightbl_set(), all called by the netlink code. Once the ATM neighbour table is added to the list, there are two tables with family == AF_INET there, and ARP entries sent via netlink go into the first table with matching family. This is indeterminate and often wrong. To see the bug, on a kernel with CLIP enabled, create a standard IPv4 ARP entry by pinging an unused address on a local subnet. Then attempt to complete that entry by doing ip neigh replace <ip address> lladdr <some mac address> nud reachable Looking at the ARP tables by using ip neigh show will reveal two ARP entries for the same address. One of these can be found in /proc/net/arp, and the other in /proc/net/atm/arp. This patch adds a new function, neigh_table_init_no_netlink() which does everything the neigh_table_init() does, except add the table to the netlink all-arp-tables chain. In addition neigh_table_init() has a check that all tables on the chain have a distinct address family. The init call in clip.c is changed to call neigh_table_init_no_netlink(). Since ATM ARP tables are rather more complicated than can currently be handled by the available rtattrs in the netlink protocol, no functionality is lost by this patch, and non-ATM ARP manipulation via netlink is rescued. A more complete solution would involve a rtattr for ATM ARP entries and some way for the netlink code to give neigh_add and friends more information than just address family with which to find the correct ARP table. [ I've changed the assertion checking in neigh_table_init() to not use BUG_ON() while holding neigh_tbl_lock. Instead we remember that we found an existing tbl with the same family, and after dropping the lock we'll give a diagnostic kernel log message and a stack dump. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Simon Kelley <simon@thekelleys.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET]: Move destructor from neigh->ops to neigh_paramsMichael S. Tsirkin2006-03-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct neigh_ops currently has a destructor field, which no in-kernel drivers outside of infiniband use. The infiniband/ulp/ipoib in-tree driver stashes some info in the neighbour structure (the results of the second-stage lookup from ARP results to real link-level path), and it uses neigh->ops->destructor to get a callback so it can clean up this extra info when a neighbour is freed. We've run into problems with this: since the destructor is in an ops field that is shared between neighbours that may belong to different net devices, there's no way to set/clear it safely. The following patch moves this field to neigh_parms where it can be safely set, together with its twin neigh_setup. Two additional patches in the patch series update ipoib to use this new interface.

* [INET_SOCK]: Move struct inet_sock & helper functions to net/inet_sock.hArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2006-01-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | To help in reducing the number of include dependencies, several files were touched as they were getting needed headers indirectly for stuff they use. Thanks also to Alan Menegotto for pointing out that net/dccp/proto.c had linux/dccp.h include twice. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NETLINK]: Neighbour table configuration and statistics via rtnetlinkThomas Graf2005-06-191-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To retrieve the neighbour tables send RTM_GETNEIGHTBL with the NLM_F_DUMP flag set. Every neighbour table configuration is spread over multiple messages to avoid running into message size limits on systems with many interfaces. The first message in the sequence transports all not device specific data such as statistics, configuration, and the default parameter set. This message is followed by 0..n messages carrying device specific parameter sets. Although the ordering should be sufficient, NDTA_NAME can be used to identify sequences. The initial message can be identified by checking for NDTA_CONFIG. The device specific messages do not contain this TLV but have NDTPA_IFINDEX set to the corresponding interface index. To change neighbour table attributes, send RTM_SETNEIGHTBL with NDTA_NAME set. Changeable attribute include NDTA_THRESH[1-3], NDTA_GC_INTERVAL, and all TLVs in NDTA_PARMS unless marked otherwise. Device specific parameter sets can be changed by setting NDTPA_IFINDEX to the interface index of the corresponding device. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-171-0/+370
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
