veth: Enforce minimum size of VETH_INFO_PEER

2012-03-01T00:31:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 237114384ab22c174ec4641e809f8e6cbcfce774 ]

VETH_INFO_PEER carries struct ifinfomsg plus optional IFLA
attributes. A minimal size of sizeof(struct ifinfomsg) must be
enforced or we may risk accessing that struct beyond the limits
of the netlink message.

drivers/net: Add module.h to drivers who were implicitly using it

2011-10-31T23:31:07+00:00

The device.h header was including module.h, making it present for
most of these drivers.  But we want to clean that up.  Call out the
include of module.h in the modular network drivers.

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

Exclude duplicated checking for iface-up. This flags is checked in 'is_skb_forwardable' function, which is subroutine of 'dev_forward_skb'.

veth: fix 64bit stats on 32bit arches

2011-06-20T05:48:34+00:00

Using 64bit stats on 32bit arches must use a synchronization or readers
can get transient values.
