* bridge: Eliminate unnecessary forward delayStephen Hemminger2008-08-061-7/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Based upon original patch by Herbert Xu, which contained the following problem description: -------------------- When the forward delay is set to zero, we still delay the setting of the forwarding state by one or possibly two timers depending on whether STP is enabled. This could either turn out to be instantaneous, or horribly slow depending on the load of the machine. As there is nothing preventing us from enabling forwarding straight away, this patch eliminates this potential delay by executing the code directly if the forward delay is zero. The effect of this problem is that immediately after the carrier comes on a port, the bridge will drop all packets received from that port until it enters forwarding mode, thus causing unnecessary packet loss. Note that this patch doesn't fully remove the delay due to the link watcher. We should also check the carrier state when we are about to drop an incoming packet because the port is disabled. But that's for another patch. -------------------- This version of the fix takes a different approach, in that it just does the state change directly. Signed-off-by: David S.

| * rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.hFranck Bui-Huu2008-05-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h. This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this list.h without creating some circular dependencies. For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference() without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but aren't probably because of this. Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to many changes/troubles.

* [BRIDGE]: Round off STP perodic timers.Stephen Hemminger2007-05-311-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | Peroidic STP timers don't have to be exact. The hold timer runs at 1HZ, and the hello timer normally runs at 2HZ; save power by aligning it them to next second. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not usedRandy Dunlap2007-05-081-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed. Suggested by Al Viro. Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc, sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

* bridge: add support for user mode STPStephen Hemminger2007-04-261-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | This patchset based on work by Aji_Srinivas@emc.com provides allows spanning tree to be controled from userspace. Like hotplug, it uses call_usermodehelper when spanning tree is enabled so there is no visible API change. If call to start usermode STP fails it falls back to existing kernel STP.

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!
