ipip, sit: copy parms.name after register_netdevice

2012-01-06T22:16:49+00:00

commit 72b36015ba43a3cca5303f5534d2c3e1899eae29 upstream.

Same fix as 731abb9cb2 for ipip and sit tunnel.
Commit 1c5cae815d removed an explicit call to dev_alloc_name in
ipip_tunnel_locate and ipip6_tunnel_locate, because register_netdevice
will now create a valid name, however the tunnel keeps a copy of the
name in the private parms structure. Fix this by copying the name back
after register_netdevice has successfully returned.

This shows up if you do a simple tunnel add, followed by a tunnel show:

$ sudo ip tunnel add mode ipip remote 10.2.20.211
$ ip tunnel
tunl0: ip/ip  remote any  local any  ttl inherit  nopmtudisc
tunl%d: ip/ip  remote 10.2.20.211  local any  ttl inherit
$ sudo ip tunnel add mode sit remote 10.2.20.212
$ ip tunnel
sit0: ipv6/ip  remote any  local any  ttl 64  nopmtudisc 6rd-prefix 2002::/16
sit%d: ioctl 89f8 failed: No such device
sit%d: ipv6/ip  remote 10.2.20.212  local any  ttl inherit

sit tunnels: propagate IPv6 transport class to IPv4 Type of Service

2011-08-16T23:28:55+00:00

sit tunnels (IPv6 tunnel over IPv4) do not implement the "tos inherit"
case to copy the IPv6 transport class byte from the inner packet to
the IPv4 type of service byte in the outer packet. By contrast, ipip
tunnels and GRE tunnels do.

This patch, adapted from the similar code in net/ipv4/ipip.c and
net/ipv4/ip_gre.c, implements that.

This patch applies to 3.0.1, and has been tested on that version.

net,rcu: convert call_rcu(prl_entry_destroy_rcu) to kfree

2011-05-08T05:51:15+00:00

The RCU callback prl_entry_destroy_rcu() just calls kfree(), so we can
use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu().

net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdevice

2011-05-05T17:57:45+00:00

Force dev_alloc_name() to be called from register_netdevice() by
dev_get_valid_name(). That allows to remove multiple explicit
dev_alloc_name() calls.

The possibility to call dev_alloc_name in advance remains.

This also fixes veth creation regresion caused by
