The team, fib_frontend, route, and l2tp_netlink conflicts were simply
overlapping changes.

qmi_wwan and bat_iv_ogm were of the "use HEAD" variety.

ipv4/route: arg delay is useless in rt_cache_flush()

2012-09-18T19:44:34+00:00

Since route cache deletion (89aef8921bfbac22f), delay is no
more used. Remove it.

netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion

2012-09-10T19:30:41+00:00

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

net: reinstate rtnl in call_netdevice_notifiers()

2012-08-23T16:24:42+00:00

Eric Biederman pointed out that not holding RTNL while calling
call_netdevice_notifiers() was racy.

This patch is a direct transcription his feedback
against commit 0115e8e30d6fc (net: remove delay at device dismantle)

Thanks Eric !

net: remove delay at device dismantle

2012-08-23T04:50:36+00:00

I noticed extra one second delay in device dismantle, tracked down to
a call to dst_dev_event() while some call_rcu() are still in RCU queues.

These call_rcu() were posted by rt_free(struct rtable *rt) calls.

We then wait a little (but one second) in netdev_wait_allrefs() before
kicking again NETDEV_UNREGISTER.

As the call_rcu() are now completed, dst_dev_event() can do the needed
device swap on busy dst.

To solve this problem, add a new NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL, called
after a rcu_barrier(), but outside of RTNL lock.

Use NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL with care !

Change dst_dev_event() handler to react to NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL

Also remove NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH, as its not used anymore after
IP cache removal.

ipv4: change inet_addr_hash()

2012-08-04T08:27:57+00:00

Use net_hash_mix(net) instead of hash_ptr(net, 8), and use
hash_32() instead of using a serie of XOR

Define IN4_ADDR_HSIZE_SHIFT for clarity

__ip_dev_find() can perform the net_eq() call only if ifa_local
matches the key, to avoid unneeded dereferences.

remove inline attributes

ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8

2012-06-12T22:25:46+00:00

Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider
packets from that address block martian when routing and do
not process corresponding ARP requests.

This is a sane default but renders a huge address space
practically unuseable.

The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should
ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid
the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in
particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests
behind a load balancer.

This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet'
enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing
of ARP requests on a specific interface.

Note that for the feature to work, the default local route
covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed.

Example:
  $ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1
  $ ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local
  $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0
  $ ip route flush cache
