macvlan: Initialize vlan_features to turn on offload support.

2014-08-19T15:15:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 081e83a78db9b0ae1f5eabc2dedecc865f509b98 ]

Macvlan devices do not initialize vlan_features.  As a result,
any vlan devices configured on top of macvlans perform very poorly.
Initialize vlan_features based on the vlan features of the lower-level
device.

net: force a list_del() in unregister_netdevice_many()

2014-06-23T08:28:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 87757a917b0b3c0787e0563c679762152be81312 ]

unregister_netdevice_many() API is error prone and we had too
many bugs because of dangling LIST_HEAD on stacks.

See commit f87e6f47933e3e ("net: dont leave active on stack LIST_HEAD")

In fact, instead of making sure no caller leaves an active list_head,
just force a list_del() in the callee. No one seems to need to access
the list after unregister_netdevice_many()

macvlan: Don't propagate IFF_ALLMULTI changes on down interfaces.

2014-05-29T09:49:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit bbeb0eadcf9fe74fb2b9b1a6fea82cd538b1e556 ]

Clearing the IFF_ALLMULTI flag on a down interface could cause an allmulti
overflow on the underlying interface.

Attempting the set IFF_ALLMULTI on the underlying interface would cause an
error and the log message:

"allmulti touches root, set allmulti failed."

Revert "macvlan : fix checksums error when we are in bridge mode"

2014-05-29T09:49:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit f114890cdf84d753f6b41cd0cc44ba51d16313da ]

This reverts commit 12a2856b604476c27d85a5f9a57ae1661fc46019.
The commit above doesn't appear to be necessary any more as the
checksums appear to be correctly computed/validated.

Additionally the above commit breaks kvm configurations where
one VM is using a device that support checksum offload (virtio) and
the other VM does not.
In this case, packets leaving virtio device will have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
set.  The packets is forwarded to a macvtap that has offload features
turned off.  Since we use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the host does does not
update the checksum and thus a bad checksum is passed up to
the guest.

macvlan: Move skb_clone check closer to call

2013-09-11T20:03:12+00:00

Currently macvlan calls skb_clone in macvlan_broadcast but checks
for a NULL return in macvlan_broadcast_one instead.  This is
needlessly confusing and may lead to bugs introduced later.

This patch moves the error check to where the skb_clone call is.

The only other caller of macvlan_broadcast_one never passes in a
NULL value so it doesn't need the check either.

net: macvlan: inherit addr_assign_type along with dev_addr

2013-09-04T00:57:49+00:00

A device inheriting a random or set address should reflect this in
its addr_assign_type.

macvlan: validate flags

2013-08-05T18:02:48+00:00

commit df8ef8f3aaa6692970a436204c4429210addb23a
    macvlan: add FDB bridge ops and macvlan flags
added a flags field to macvlan, which can be
controlled from userspace.
The idea is to make the interface future-proof
so we can add flags and not new fields.

However, flags value isn't validated, as a result,
userspace can't detect which flags are supported.
