* [NET]: Rework dev_base via list_head (v3)Pavel Emelianov2007-05-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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().

* [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacksPatrick McHardy2007-04-251-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Since we're now holding the rtnl during the entire dump operation, we can remove additional locking for rtnl protected data. This patch does that for all simple cases (dev_base_lock for dev_base walking, RCU protection for FIB rule dumping). Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* bridge: add support for user mode STPStephen Hemminger2007-04-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [NETLINK]: Don't BUG on undersized allocationsPatrick McHardy2007-02-081-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently netlink users BUG when the allocated skb for an event notification is undersized. While this is certainly a kernel bug, its not critical and crashing the kernel is too drastic, especially when considering that these errors have appeared multiple times in the past and it BUGs even if no listeners are present. This patch replaces BUG by WARN_ON and changes the notification functions to inform potential listeners of undersized allocations using a unique error code (EMSGSIZE).

* [BRIDGE] netlink: Convert bridge netlink code to new netlink interfaceThomas Graf2006-12-021-54/+38
| | | | | | | | Removes dependency on buggy rta_buf, fixes a memory corruption bug due to a unvalidated netlink attribute, and simplifies the code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NETLINK]: Do precise netlink message allocations where possibleThomas Graf2006-12-021-6/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new() instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly. Replaces error handling of message construction functions when constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies a bug in calculating the size of the skb.

* [BRIDGE]: br_dump_ifinfo index fixAndrey Savochkin2006-07-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | Fix for inability of br_dump_ifinfo to handle non-zero start index: loop index never increases when entered with non-zero start. Spotted by Kirill Korotaev. Signed-off-by: Andrey Savochkin <saw@swsoft.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [BRIDGE]: netlink interface for link managementStephen Hemminger2006-06-171-0/+199
Add basic netlink support to the Ethernet bridge. Including: * dump interfaces in bridges * monitor link status changes * change state of bridge port For some demo programs see: http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/prototypes/brnl.tar.gz These are to allow building a daemon that does alternative implementations of Spanning Tree Protocol.
