neigh: Pass neighbour entry to output ops.

2011-07-18T06:11:17+00:00

This will get us closer to being able to do "neigh stuff"
completely independent of the underlying dst_entry for
protocols (ipv4/ipv6) that wish to do so.

We will also be able to make dst entries neigh-less.

neigh: Kill ndisc_ops->queue_xmit

2011-07-17T01:30:59+00:00

It is always dev_queue_xmit().

neigh: Kill neigh_ops->hh_output

2011-07-17T00:39:57+00:00

It's always dev_queue_xmit().

ipv4: Inline neigh binding.

2011-07-13T08:12:28+00:00

Get rid of all of the useless and costly indirection
by doing the neigh hash table lookup directly inside
of the neighbour binding.

Rename from arp_bind_neighbour to rt_bind_neighbour.

Use new helpers {__,}ipv4_neigh_lookup()

In rt_bind_neighbour() get rid of useless tests which
are never true in the context this function is called,
namely dev is never NULL and the dst->neighbour is
always NULL.

ipv4: Use universal hash for ARP.

2011-07-11T08:37:28+00:00

We need to make sure the multiplier is odd.

net: gre: provide multicast mappings for ipv4 and ipv6

2011-03-30T07:10:47+00:00

My commit 6d55cb91a0020ac0 (gre: fix hard header destination
address checking) broke multicast.

The reason is that ip_gre used to get ipgre_header() calls with
zero destination if we have NOARP or multicast destination. Instead
the actual target was decided at ipgre_tunnel_xmit() time based on
per-protocol dissection.

Instead of allowing the "abuse" of ->header() calls with invalid
destination, this creates multicast mappings for ip_gre. This also
fixes "ip neigh show nud noarp" to display the proper multicast
mappings used by the gre device.

ipv4: Create and use route lookup helpers.

2011-03-12T23:08:42+00:00

The idea here is this minimizes the number of places one has to edit
in order to make changes to how flows are defined and used.

ipv4: Make output route lookup return rtable directly.

2011-03-02T22:31:35+00:00

Instead of on the stack.

net: arp_ioctl() must hold RTNL

2011-01-24T21:16:16+00:00

Commit 941666c2e3e0 "net: RCU conversion of dev_getbyhwaddr() and
arp_ioctl()" introduced a regression, reported by Jamie Heilman.
"arp -Ds 192.168.2.41 eth0 pub" triggered the ASSERT_RTNL() assert
in pneigh_lookup()

Removing RTNL requirement from arp_ioctl() was a mistake, just revert
that part.

arp: allow to invalidate specific ARP entries

2011-01-11T00:10:37+00:00

IPv4 over firewire needs to be able to remove ARP entries
from the ARP cache that belong to nodes that are removed, because
IPv4 over firewire uses ARP packets for private information
about nodes.

This information becomes invalid as soon as node drops
off the bus and when it reconnects, its only possible
to start talking to it after it responded to an ARP packet.
But ARP cache prevents such packets from being sent.
