Ben Hutchings 0187bdfb05 net: Disable LRO on devices that are forwarding
Large Receive Offload (LRO) is only appropriate for packets that are
destined for the host, and should be disabled if received packets may be
forwarded.  It can also confuse the GSO on output.

Add dev_disable_lro() function which uses the appropriate ethtool ops to
disable LRO if enabled.

Add calls to dev_disable_lro() in br_add_if() and functions that enable
IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding.

Bjorn Mork 148f97292e [IPV4]: Reset scope when changing address
This bug did bite at least one user, who did have to resort to rebooting
the system after an "ifconfig eth0 127.0.0.1" typo.

Deleting the address and adding a new is a less intrusive workaround.
But I still beleive this is a bug that should be fixed.  Some way or
another.

Another possibility would be to remove the scope mangling based on
address.  This will always be incomplete (are 127/8 the only address
space with host scope requirements?)

We set the scope to RT_SCOPE_HOST if an IPv4 interface is configured
with a loopback address (127/8).  The scope is never reset, and will
remain set to RT_SCOPE_HOST after changing the address. This patch
resets the scope if the address is changed again, to restore normal
functionality.

Pavel Emelyanov c0ce9fb304 [IPV4]: Store the net pointer on devinet's ctl tables
Some handers and strategies of devinet sysctl tables need
to know the net to propagate the ctl change to all the
net devices.

I use the (currently unused) extra2 pointer on the tables
to get it.

Holding the reference on the struct net is not possible,
because otherwise we'll get a net->ctl_table->net circular
dependency. But since the ctl tables are unregistered during
the net destruction, this is safe to get it w/o additional
protection.

AFAIS these two entries should do the same thing - change the

I propose to merge the handlers together using ctl paths.

The inet_forward_change() is static after this and I move
it higher to be closer to other "propagation" helpers and
to avoid diff making patches based on { and } matching :)
i.e. - make them easier to read.

Pavel Emelyanov bfada697bd [IPV4]: Use ctl paths to register devinet sysctls
This looks very much like the patch for neighbors.

The path is also located on the stack and is prepared
inside the function. This time, the call to the registering
function is guarded with the RTNL lock, but I decided
to keep it on the stack not to litter the devinet.c file
with unneeded names and to make it look similar to the
neighbors code.

This is also intended to help us with the net namespaces
and saves the vmlinux size as well - this time by more
than 670 bytes.

The difference from the first version is just the patch
offsets, that changed due to changes in the patch #2.

Pavel Emelyanov 66f27a5203 [IPV4]: Unify and cleanup calls to devinet_sysctl_register
Currently this call is used to register sysctls for devices
and for the "default" confs. The "all" sysctls are registered
separately.

Besides, the inet_device is passed to this function, but it is
not needed there at all - just the device name and ifindex are
required.

Thanks to Herbert, who noticed, that this call doesn't even
require the devconf pointer (the last argument) - all we need
we can take from the in_device itself.

The fix is to make a __devinet_sysctl_register(), which registers
sysctls for all "devices" we need, including "default" and "all" :)

The original devinet_sysctl_register() works with struct net_device,
not the inet_device, and calls the introduced function, passing
the device name and ifindex (to be used as procname and ctl_name)
into it.

Eric W. Biederman 881d966b48 [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.

Eric W. Biederman e9dc865340 [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.

Bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8876

Not all ips are shown by "ip addr show" command when IPs number assigned to an

presence on each address).

Steps to reproduce:
It's terribly simple to reproduce:

# for i in $(seq 1 100); do ip ad add 10.0.$i.1/24 dev eth10 ; done
# ip addr show

this will _not_ show all IPs.
Looks like the problem is in netlink/ipv4 message processing.

Herbert Xu 31be308541 [IPV4]: Add default config support after inetdev_init
Previously once inetdev_init has been called on a device any changes
made to ipv4_devconf_dflt would have no effect on that device's
configuration.

This creates a problem since we have moved the point where
inetdev_init is called from when an address is added to where the
device is registered.

This patch is the first half of a set that tries to mimic the old
behaviour while still calling inetdev_init.

It propagates any changes to ipv4_devconf_dflt to those devices that
have not had the corresponding attribute set.

The next patch will forcibly set all values at the point where
inetdev_init was previously called.

Herbert Xu 42f811b8bc [IPV4]: Convert IPv4 devconf to an array
This patch converts the ipv4_devconf config members (everything except
sysctl) to an array.  This allows easier manipulation which will be
needed later on to provide better management of default config values.

Herbert Xu 8d76527e72 [IPV4]: Only panic if inetdev_init fails for loopback
When I made the inetdev_init call work on all devices I incorrectly
left in the panic call as well.  It is obviously undesirable to
panic on an allocation failure for a normal network device.  This
patch moves the panic call under the loopback if clause.

Pavel Emelianov 7562f876cd [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().

Patrick McHardy 6313c1e099 [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks
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).
