macvlan: receive multicast with local address

2011-11-04T21:39:32+00:00

When implementing VRRP v2 using macvlan several problems were
discovered.  VRRP is weird in that all routers participating
in a redundant group use the same virtual MAC address.
Macvlan is a natural driver to use for this but it doesn't
work.  The problem is that packets with a macvlan device's
source address are not received.

The problem is actually a regression that date back almost 2 years now.
The original problems started with:

    macvlan: implement bridge, VEPA and private mode

This patches restores the original 2.6.32 behavior. Allowing multicast
packets received with the VRRP source address to be received.

macvlan: handle fragmented multicast frames

2011-10-19T03:22:07+00:00

Fragmented multicast frames are delivered to a single macvlan port,
because ip defrag logic considers other samples are redundant.

Implement a defrag step before trying to send the multicast frame.

macvlan/macvtap: Fix unicast between macvtap interfaces in bridge mode

2011-10-05T03:31:23+00:00

Packets should always be forwarded to the lowerdev using dev_forward_skb.
vlan->forward is for packets being forwarded directly to another macvlan/
macvtap device (used for multicast in bridge mode).

net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings calling

2011-09-15T21:32:26+00:00

This patch does several things:
- introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and
  from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there.
- dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings()
- changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In
  iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This
  fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same
  problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of
  dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls.
- introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create()
  so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they
  are from other places.
- use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code

v2->v3:
	-removed dev_ethtool_get_settings()
	-added ASSERT_RTNL into __ethtool_get_settings()
	-prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo - use __dev_get_by_index() and lock
	 around it and __ethtool_get_settings() call
v1->v2:
        add missing export_symbol

net: Audit drivers to identify those needing IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING cleared

2011-07-28T05:39:30+00:00

After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in
their skbs.  There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of
course, and need to be fixed up.  This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the
IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags

macvlan: add VLAN filters to lowerdev

2011-06-06T23:43:43+00:00

Stacking VLANs on top of the macvlan device does not
work if the lowerdev device is using vlan filters set
by NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER. Add ndo ops to pass vlan
calls to lowerdev.

macvlan: Forward unicast frames in bridge mode to lowerdev

2011-05-23T01:01:18+00:00

Unicast frames between macvlan interfaces in bridge mode are not otherwise
sent to network taps on the lowerdev (as all other macvlan frames are), so
forward the frames to the receive queue of the lowerdev first.
