net: Fix indentation of the conf/ documentation block

2016-03-22T02:56:37+00:00

Commit d67ef35fff67 ("clarify documentation for
net.ipv4.igmp_max_memberships") mistakenly indented a block of
documentation such that it now looks like it belongs to a specific sysctl.
Restore that block's original position.

RDS: Drop stale iWARP RDMA transport

2016-03-02T19:13:17+00:00

RDS iWarp support code has become stale and non testable. As
indicated earlier, am dropping the support for it.

If new iWarp user(s) shows up in future, we can adapat the RDS IB
transprt for the special RDMA READ sink case. iWarp needs an MR
for the RDMA READ sink.

net: ipv6: Make address flushing on ifdown optional

2016-02-26T02:45:15+00:00

Currently, all ipv6 addresses are flushed when the interface is configured
down, including global, static addresses:

    $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
    3: eth1:  mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000
        inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
        inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    $ ip link set dev eth1 down
    $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
    << nothing; all addresses have been flushed>>

Add a new sysctl to make this behavior optional. The new setting defaults to
flush all addresses to maintain backwards compatibility. When the set global
addresses with no expire times are not flushed on an admin down. The sysctl
is per-interface or system-wide for all interfaces

    $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth1.keep_addr_on_down=1
or
    $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down=1

Will keep addresses on eth1 on an admin down.

    $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
    3: eth1:  mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000
        inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
        inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    $ ip link set dev eth1 down
    $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
    3: eth1:  mtu 1500 state DOWN qlen 1000
        inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global tentative
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
        inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link tentative
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

net: dsa: drop vlan_getnext

2016-02-25T20:20:21+00:00

The VLAN GetNext operation is specific to some switches, and thus can be
complicated to implement for some drivers.

Remove the support for the vlan_getnext/port_pvid_get approach in favor
of the generic and simpler port_vlan_dump function.
