Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

[NET]: netlink support for moving devices between network namespaces. The simplest thing to implement is moving network devices between namespaces. However with the same attribute IFLA_NET_NS_PID we can easily implement creating devices in the destination network namespace as well. However that is a little bit trickier so this patch sticks to what is simple and easy. A pid is used to identify a process that happens to be a member of the network namespace we want to move the network device to. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

[RTNETLINK]: Add nested compat attribute Add a nested compat attribute type that can be used to convert attributes that contain a structure to nested attributes in a backwards compatible way. The attribute looks like this: struct { [ compat contents ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = total size, .rta_type = type, } rta; struct old_structure struct; [ nested top-level attribute ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = nest size, .rta_type = type, } nest_attr; [ optional 0 .. n nested attributes ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = private attribute len, .rta_type = private attribute typ, } nested_attr; struct nested_data data; }; Since both userspace and kernel deal correctly with attributes that are larger than expected old versions will just parse the compat part and ignore the rest.

[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace. 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.

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.

[NET] core: add RFC2863 operstate this patch adds a dormant flag to network devices, RFC2863 operstate derived from these flags and possibility for userspace interaction. It allows drivers to signal that a device is unusable for user traffic without disabling queueing (and therefore the possibility for protocol establishment traffic to flow) and a userspace supplicant (WPA, 802.1X) to mark a device unusable without changes to the driver. It is the result of our long discussion. However I must admit that it represents what Jamal and I agreed on with compromises towards Krzysztof, but Thomas and Krzysztof still disagree with some parts. Anyway I think it should be applied.

[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace. This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe.

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.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

[NET]: Rework dev_base via list_head (v3) 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().

[NET]: Convert link dumping to new netlink api Transforms netlink code to dump link tables to use the new netlink api. Makes rtnl_getlink() available regardless of the availability of the wireless extensions. Adding copy_rtnl_link_stats() avoids the structural dependency of struct rtnl_link_stats on struct net_device_stats and thus avoids troubles later on.

[RTNETLINK]: Introduce generic rtnl_create_link(). This routine gets the parsed rtnl attributes and creates a new link with generic info (IFLA_LINKINFO policy). Its intention is to help the drivers, that need to create several links at once (like VETH). This is nothing but a copy-paste-ed part of rtnl_newlink() function that is responsible for creation of new device.

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!

[NET]: Convert link modification to new netlink api Transforms do_setlink() into rtnl_setlink() using the new netlink api. A warning message printed to the console is added in the event that a change request fails while part of the change request has been comitted already. The ioctl() based nature of net devices makes it almost impossible to move on to atomic netlink operations without obsoleting some of the functionality.

[RTNETLINK]: Allow changing of subsets of netdevice flags in rtnl_setlink rtnl_setlink doesn't allow to change subsets of the flags, just to override the set entirely by a new one. This means that for simply setting a device up or down userspace first needs to query the current flags, change it and send the changed flags back, which is racy and needlessly complicated. Mask the flags using ifi_change since this is what it is intended for. For backwards compatibility treat ifi_change == 0 as ~0 (even though it seems quite unlikely that anyone has been using this so far).

[NET] core: add RFC2863 operstate this patch adds a dormant flag to network devices, RFC2863 operstate derived from these flags and possibility for userspace interaction. It allows drivers to signal that a device is unusable for user traffic without disabling queueing (and therefore the possibility for protocol establishment traffic to flow) and a userspace supplicant (WPA, 802.1X) to mark a device unusable without changes to the driver. It is the result of our long discussion. However I must admit that it represents what Jamal and I agreed on with compromises towards Krzysztof, but Thomas and Krzysztof still disagree with some parts. Anyway I think it should be applied.

[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace. 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.

[PATCH] WE-20 for kernel 2.6.16 This is version 20 of the Wireless Extensions. This is the completion of the RtNetlink work I started early 2004, it enables the full Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink. Few comments on the patch : o totally driver transparent, no change in drivers needed. o iwevent were already RtNetlink based since they were created (around 2.5.7). This adds all the regular SET and GET requests over RtNetlink, using the exact same mechanism and data format as iwevents. o This is a Kconfig option, as currently most people have no need for it. Surprisingly, patch is actually small and well encapsulated. o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean. o Code do probably too many checks and could be further optimised, but better safe than sorry. o RtNetlink based version of the Wireless Tools available on my web page for people inclined to try out this stuff. I would also like to thank Alexey Kuznetsov for his helpful suggestions to make this patch better. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes <jt@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Surprisingly, patch is actually small and well encapsulated. o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean. o Code do probably too many checks and could be further optimised, but better safe than sorry. o RtNetlink based version of the Wireless Tools available on my web page for people inclined to try out this stuff. I would also like to thank Alexey Kuznetsov for his helpful suggestions to make this patch better. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes <jt@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

[NET]: Convert link dumping to new netlink api Transforms netlink code to dump link tables to use the new netlink api. Makes rtnl_getlink() available regardless of the availability of the wireless extensions. Adding copy_rtnl_link_stats() avoids the structural dependency of struct rtnl_link_stats on struct net_device_stats and thus avoids troubles later on.

[NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious. This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced asynchronious user -> kernel communication. The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the user. Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing may occur in the arbitrary process context. This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet processing right in the netlink_unicast. Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched. EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now. Signed-off-by: Denis V.

[NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlink Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace, this includes the controlling kernel sockets. This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces. The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation at hash table insertion and hash table look up time. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

[RTNETLINK]: Add rtnetlink notification interface Adds rtnl_notify() to send rtnetlink notification messages and rtnl_set_sk_err() to report notification errors as socket errors in order to indicate the need of a resync due to loss of events. nlmsg_report() is added to properly document the meaning of NLM_F_ECHO.

[RTNETLINK]: Introduce generic rtnl_create_link(). This routine gets the parsed rtnl attributes and creates a new link with generic info (IFLA_LINKINFO policy). Its intention is to help the drivers, that need to create several links at once (like VETH). This is nothing but a copy-paste-ed part of rtnl_newlink() function that is responsible for creation of new device.
