net: proc: change proc_net_remove to remove_proc_entry

2013-02-18T19:53:08+00:00

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries
that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
need to call remove_proc_entry.

this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.
we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

net: proc: change proc_net_fops_create to proc_create

2013-02-18T19:53:08+00:00

Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create
to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules
such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create.

It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of
proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove
proc_net_fops_create after this patch.

ipmr: fix sparse warning when testing origin or group

2013-01-22T19:24:29+00:00

mfc_mcastgrp and mfc_origin are __be32, thus we need to convert INADDR_ANY.
Because INADDR_ANY is 0, this patch just fix sparse warnings.

mcast: add multicast proxy support (IPv4 and IPv6)

2013-01-21T18:55:14+00:00

This patch add the support of proxy multicast, ie being able to build a static
multicast tree. It adds the support of (*,*) and (*,G) entries.

The user should define an (*,*) entry which is not used for real forwarding.
This entry defines the upstream in iif and contains all interfaces from the
static tree in its oifs. It will be used to forward packet upstream when they
come from an interface belonging to the static tree.
Hence, the user should define (*,G) entries to build its static tree. Note that
upstream interface must be part of oifs: packets are sent to all oifs
interfaces except the input interface. This ensures to always join the whole
static tree, even if the packet is not coming from the upstream interface.

ipmr: advertise new mfc entries via rtnl

2012-12-04T18:08:11+00:00

This patch allows to monitor mfc activities via rtnetlink.
To avoid parsing two times the mfc oifs, we use maxvif to allocate the rtnl
msg, thus we may allocate some superfluous space.

ipmr/ip6mr: allow to get unresolved cache via netlink

2012-12-04T18:08:11+00:00

/proc/net/ip[6]_mr_cache allows to get all mfc entries, even if they are put in
the unresolved list (mfc[6]_unres_queue). But only the table RT_TABLE_DEFAULT is
displayed.
This patch adds the parsing of the unresolved list when the dump is made via
rtnetlink, hence each table can be checked.

In IPv6, we set rtm_type in ip6mr_fill_mroute(), because in case of unresolved
mfc __ip6mr_fill_mroute() will not set it. In IPv4, it is already done.

ipmr/ip6mr: report origin of mfc entry into rtnl msg

2012-12-04T18:08:11+00:00

A mfc entry can be static or not (added via the mroute_sk socket). The patch
reports MFC_STATIC flag into rtm_protocol by setting rtm_protocol to
RTPROT_STATIC or RTPROT_MROUTED.

ipmr/ip6mr: advertise mfc stats via rtnetlink

2012-12-04T18:08:10+00:00

These statistics can be checked only via /proc/net/ip_mr_cache or
SIOCGETSGCNT[_IN6] and thus only for the table RT_TABLE_DEFAULT.
Advertising them via rtnetlink allows to get statistics for all cache entries,
whatever the table is.

netconf: advertise mc_forwarding status

This patch advertise the MC_FORWARDING status for IPv4 and IPv6.
This field is readonly, only multicast engine in the kernel updates it.
