* [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-101-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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]: Rework dev_base via list_head (v3)Pavel Emelianov2007-05-031-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev loop. A few most complicated places were converted to using first_netdev()/next_netdev().

* bridge: add support for user mode STPStephen Hemminger2007-04-251-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [BRIDGE]: Fix locking of set path cost.Stephen Hemminger2007-02-281-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This change goes with earlier change to get rid of work queue for path cost. Now stp_set_path_cost does its own locking. This is to allow it to call br_path_cost() which calls ethtool interfaces (might sleep). Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

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!
