ipv4: ipconfig: avoid unused ic_proto_used symbol

2016-01-30T03:39:09+00:00

When CONFIG_PROC_FS, CONFIG_IP_PNP_BOOTP, CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP and
CONFIG_IP_PNP_RARP are all disabled, we get a warning about the
ic_proto_used variable being unused:

net/ipv4/ipconfig.c:146:12: error: 'ic_proto_used' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-variable]

This avoids the warning, by making the definition conditional on
whether a dynamic IP configuration protocol is configured. If not,
we know that the value is always zero, so we can optimize away the
variable and all code that depends on it.

net/ipv4/ipconfig: Rejoin broken lines in console output

2015-11-24T17:00:09+00:00

Commit 09605cc12c078306 ("net ipv4: use preferred log methods") replaced
a few calls of pr_cont() after a console print without a trailing
newline by pr_info(), causing lines to be split during IP
autoconfiguration, like:

    .
    ,
     OK
    IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 192.168.97.254,
    my address is 192.168.97.44

Convert these back to using pr_cont(), so it prints again:

    ., OK
    IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 192.168.97.254, my address is 192.168.97.44

Absorb the printing of "my address ..." into the previous call to
pr_info(), as there's no reason to use a continuation there.

Convert one more pr_info() to print nameservers while we're at it.

net ipv4: use preferred log methods

Replace printk calls with preferred unconditional log method calls to keep
kernel messages clean.

Added newline to "too small MTU" message.

ipconfig: send Client-identifier in DHCP requests

2015-10-19T02:23:52+00:00

A dhcp server may provide parameters to a client from a pool of IP
addresses and using a shared rootfs, or provide a specific set of
parameters for a specific client, usually using the MAC address to
identify each client individually. The dhcp protocol also specifies
a client-id field which can be used to determine the correct
parameters to supply when no MAC address is available. There is
currently no way to tell the kernel to supply a specific client-id,
only the userspace dhcp clients support this feature, but this can
not be used when the network is needed before userspace is available
such as when the root filesystem is on NFS.

This patch is to be able to do something like "ip=dhcp,client_id_type,
client_id_value", as a kernel parameter to enable the kernel to
identify itself to the server.

net: ipv4: increase dhcp inter device timeout

2015-08-12T23:40:22+00:00

When a system has multiple ethernet devices and during DHCP
request (for using NFS), the system waits only for HZ/2 which is
500mS before switching to another interface for DHCP.

There are some routers (Ex: Trendnet routers) which responds to
DHCP request at about 560mS. When the system has only one
ethernet interface there is no issue as the timeout is 2S and the
dev xid doesn't changes and only retries.

But when the system has multiple Ethernet like DRA74x with CPSW
in dual EMAC mode, the DHCP response is dropped as the dev xid
changes while shifting to the next device. So changing inter
device timeout to HZ (which is 1S).

ipv4: coding style: comparison for equality with NULL

2015-04-03T16:11:15+00:00

The ipv4 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check
for NULL pointer is done as x == NULL and sometimes as !x. !x is
preferred according to checkpatch and this patch makes the code
consistent by adopting the latter form.

No changes detected by objdiff.

net: ipv4: handle DSA enabled master network devices

2015-01-19T20:45:10+00:00

The logic to configure a network interface for kernel IP
auto-configuration is very simplistic, and does not handle the case
where a device is stacked onto another such as with DSA. This causes the
kernel not to open and configure the master network device in a DSA
switch tree, and therefore slave network devices using this master
network devices as conduit device cannot be open.

This restriction comes from a check in net/dsa/slave.c, which is
basically checking the master netdev flags for IFF_UP and returns
-ENETDOWN if it is not the case.

Automatically bringing-up DSA master network devices allows DSA slave
network devices to be used as valid interfaces for e.g: NFS root booting
by allowing kernel IP autoconfiguration to succeed on these interfaces.

On the reverse path, make sure we do not attempt to close a DSA-enabled
device as this would implicitely prevent the slave DSA network device
from operating.

ipconfig: Use time_before

2014-08-22T19:23:11+00:00

The functions time_before, time_before_eq, time_after, and time_after_eq
are more robust for comparing jiffies against other values.

A simplified version of the Coccinelle semantic patch making this change
is as follows:

@change@
expression E1,E2;
@@
- jiffies - E1 < E2
+ time_before(jiffies, E1+E2)
