bridge: fix RCU races with bridge port

2010-11-15T19:13:17+00:00

The macro br_port_exists() is not enough protection when only
RCU is being used. There is a tiny race where other CPU has cleared port
handler hook, but is bridge port flag might still be set.

bridge: add proper RCU annotation to should_route_hook

2010-11-15T19:13:16+00:00

Add br_should_route_hook_t typedef, this is the only way we can
get a clean RCU implementation for function pointer.

Move route_hook to location where it is used.

vlan: Rename VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN to VLAN_N_VID.

2010-10-21T08:26:50+00:00

VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN is simply the number of possible vlan VIDs.
Since vlan groups will soon be more of an implementation detail
for vlan devices, rename the constant to be descriptive of its
actual purpose.

ebtables: Allow filtering of hardware accelerated vlan frames.

2010-10-21T08:26:49+00:00

An upcoming commit will allow packets with hardware vlan acceleration
information to be passed though more parts of the network stack, including
packets trunked through the bridge.  This adds support for matching and
filtering those packets through ebtables.

bridge: use rx_handler_data pointer to store net_bridge_port pointer

2010-06-15T18:48:58+00:00

Register net_bridge_port pointer as rx_handler data pointer. As br_port is
removed from struct net_device, another netdev priv_flag is added to indicate
the device serves as a bridge port. Also rcuized pointers are now correctly
dereferenced in br_fdb.c and in netfilter parts.

netfilter: xtables: change hotdrop pointer to direct modification

2010-05-11T16:35:27+00:00

Since xt_action_param is writable, let's use it. The pointer to
'bool hotdrop' always worried (8 bytes (64-bit) to write 1 byte!).
Surprisingly results in a reduction in size:

   text    data     bss filename
5457066  692730  357892 vmlinux.o-prev

netfilter: xtables: deconstify struct xt_action_param for matches

2010-05-11T16:33:37+00:00

In future, layer-3 matches will be an xt module of their own, and
need to set the fragoff and thoff fields. Adding more pointers would
needlessy increase memory requirements (esp. so for 64-bit, where
pointers are wider).

netfilter: xtables: combine struct xt_match_param and xt_target_param

2010-05-11T16:23:43+00:00

The structures carried - besides match/target - almost the same data.
It is possible to combine them, as extensions are evaluated serially,
and so, the callers end up a little smaller.
