Raw Normal View History

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!

Use menuconfig objects II - netdev (general+100mbit) CONFIG_NETDEVICES, CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET: Change Kconfig objects from "menu, config" into "menuconfig" so that the user can disable the whole feature without having to enter the menu first.

[PATCH] uml: arch Kconfig menu cleanups *) mark as "EXPERIMENTAL" various items that either aren't very stable or that are actively crashing the setup of users which don't really need them (i.e. HIGHMEM and 3-level pagetables on x86 - nobody needs either, everybody reports "I'm using it and getting trouble"). *) move net/Kconfig near to the rest of network configurations, and drivers/block/Kconfig near "Block layer" submenu. *) it's useless and doesn't work well to force NETDEVICES on and to disable the prompt like it's done. Better remove the attempt, and change that to a simple "default y if UML". *) drop the warning about "report problems about HPPFS" - it's redundant anyway, as that's the usual procedure, and HPPFS users are especially technical (i.e. they know reporting bugs is _good_).

[NET]: Add IFB (Intermediate Functional Block) network device. A new device to do intermidiate functional block in a system shared manner. To use the new functionality, you need to turn on qos/classifier actions. The new functionality can be grouped as: 1) qdiscs/policies that are per device as opposed to system wide. ifb allows for a device which can be redirected to thus providing an impression of sharing. 2) Allows for queueing incoming traffic for shaping instead of dropping. Packets are redirected to this device using tc/action mirred redirect construct. If they are sent to it by plain routing instead then they will merely be dropped and the stats would indicate that.

net: introduce ethernet teaming device This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding driver. Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available here: https://github.com/jpirko/libteam Note it's still in its dipers atm. team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc. Python binding of libteam was recently introduced. Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in kernel team driver. v7->v8: - check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling them. - use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb() v6->v7: - transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths. That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is present v5->v6: - changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers v4->v5: - team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port list - mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and possibly other weird things with mac addresses. Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then enslaved. - Extended Kconfig text v3->v4: - remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode() - revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte" - extend comment of function __team_change_mode() v2->v3: - team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind - set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte - port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure - error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now - fixed rtln->rtnl v1->v2: - modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and extendable. - several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed - several other bugs were fixed. - note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode "random") in future.

net: macvtap driver In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend with a character device with the same interface as the tun driver, with a minimum set of features. Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a handle for configuration and accounting, while the data goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its own character device, simplifying permission management significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

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!

drivers/net: Kconfig & Makefile cleanup The is does a general cleanup of the drivers/net/ Kconfig and Makefile. This patch create a "core" option and places all the networking core drivers into this option (default is yes for this option). In addition, it alphabitizes the Kconfig driver options. As a side cleanup, found that the arcnet, token ring, and PHY Kconfig options were a tri-state option and should have been a bool option. Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

xen network backend driver netback is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in drivers/net/xen-netfront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs and even Windows. The patch is based on the driver from the xen.git pvops kernel tree but has been put through the checkpatch.pl wringer plus several manual cleanup passes and review iterations. The driver has been moved from drivers/xen/netback to drivers/net/xen-netback. One major change from xen.git is that the guest transmit path (i.e. what looks like receive to netback) has been significantly reworked to remove the dependency on the out of tree PageForeign page flag (a core kernel patch which enables a per page destructor callback on the final put_page). This page flag was used in order to implement a grant map based transmit path (where guest pages are mapped directly into SKB frags). Instead this version of netback uses grant copy operations into regular memory belonging to the backend domain. Reinstating the grant map functionality is something which I would like to revisit in the future. Note that this driver depends on 2e820f58f7ad "xen/irq: implement bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler for backend drivers" which is in linux next via the "xen-two" tree and is intended for the 2.6.39 merge window: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/backends this branch has only that single commit since 2.6.38-rc2 and is safe for cross merging into the net branch.
