Patrick McHardy 9bb8582efb vlan: TCI related type and naming cleanups
The VLAN code contains multiple spots that use tag, id and tci as
identifiers for arguments and variables incorrectly and they actually
contain or are expected to contain something different. Additionally
types are used inconsistently (unsigned short vs u16) and identifiers
are sometimes capitalized.

- consistently use u16 for storing TCI, ID or QoS values
- consistently use vlan_id and vlan_tci for storing the respective values
- remove capitalization
- add kdoc comment to netif_hwaccel_{rx,receive_skb}

Patrick McHardy 70c03b49b8 vlan: Add GVRP support
Add GVRP support for dynamically registering VLANs with switches.

By default GVRP is disabled because we only support the applicant-only
participant model, which means it should not be enabled on vlans that
are members of a bridge. Since there is currently no way to cleanly
determine that, the user is responsible for enabling it.

The code is pretty small and low impact, its wrapped in a config
option though because it depends on the GARP implementation and
the STP core.

Franck Bui-Huu 82524746c2 rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.h
Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h.

This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the
kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this
list.h without creating some circular dependencies.

For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference()
without including rcupdate.h.  It actually compiles because users of
rcu_dereference() are macros.  Others RCU functions could be used too but
aren't probably because of this.

Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to
many changes/troubles.

Pavel Emelyanov 67727184f2 [VLAN]: Reduce memory consumed by vlan_groups
Currently each vlan_groupd contains 8 pointers on arrays with 512
pointers on struct net_device each  :)  Such a construction "in many
cases ... wastes memory".

My proposal is to allow for some of these arrays pointers be NULL,
meaning that there are no devices in it. When a new device is added
to the vlan_group, the appropriate array is allocated.

The check in vlan_group_get_device's is safe, since the pointer
vg->vlan_devices_arrays[x] can only switch from NULL to not-NULL.
The vlan_group_prealloc_vid() is guarded with rtnl lock and is
also safe.

I've checked (I hope that) all the places, that use these arrays
and found, that the register_vlan_dev is the only place, that can
put a vlan device on an empty vlan_group.

Rough calculations shows, that after the patch a setup with a
single vlan dev (or up to 512 vlans with sequential vids) will
occupy approximately 8 times less memory.

The question I have is - does this patch makes sense, or a totally
new structures are required to store the vlan_devs?

Pavel Emelyanov 3f03e38789 [VLAN]: Fix potential race in vlan_cleanup_module vs vlan_ioctl_handler.
The vlan module cleanup function starts with

	vlan_netlink_fini();
	vlan_ioctl_set(NULL);

The first call removes all the vlan devices and
the second one closes the vlan ioctl.

AFAIS there's a tiny race window between these two
calls - after rtnl unregistered all the vlans, but
the ioctl handler isn't set to NULL yet, user can
manage to call this ioctl and create one vlan device,
and that this function will later BUG_ON seeing
non-emply hashes.

I think, that we must first close the vlan ioctl
and only after this remove all the vlans with the
vlan_netlink_fini() call.

Based on report and patch by Doug Kehn <rdkehn@yahoo.com>:

vconfig returns the following error when attempting to execute the
set_ingress_map command:

vconfig: socket or ioctl error for set_ingress_map: Operation not permitted

In vlan.c, vlan_ioctl_handler for SET_VLAN_INGRESS_PRIORITY_CMD
sets err = -EPERM and calls vlan_dev_set_ingress_priority.
vlan_dev_set_ingress_priority is a void function so err remains
at -EPERM and results in the vconfig error (even though the ingress
map was set).

Fix by setting err = 0 after the vlan_dev_set_ingress_priority call.

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

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.

Patrick McHardy 6c78dcbd47 [VLAN]: Fix promiscous/allmulti synchronization races
The set_multicast_list function may be called without holding the rtnl
mutex, resulting in races when changing the underlying device's promiscous
and allmulti state. Use the change_rx_mode hook, which is always invoked
under the rtnl.
