[BRIDGE]: fix locking and memory leak in br_add_bridge

2006-06-05T23:39:34+00:00

There are several bugs in error handling in br_add_bridge:
- when dev_alloc_name fails, allocated net_device is not freed
- unregister_netdev is called when rtnl lock is held
- free_netdev is called before netdev_run_todo has a chance to be run after
  unregistering net_device

[BRIDGE]: need to ref count the LLC sap

2006-05-23T22:20:25+00:00

Bridge will OOPS on removal if other application has the SAP open.
The bridge SAP might be shared with other usages, so need
to do reference counting on module removal rather than explicit
close/delete.

Since packet might arrive after or during removal, need to clear
the receive function handle, so LLC only hands it to user (if any).

[NETFILTER]: fix format specifier for netfilter log targets

2006-05-19T09:15:47+00:00

The prefix argument for nf_log_packet is a format specifier,
so don't pass the user defined string directly to it.

[BRIDGE]: Do sysfs registration inside rtnl.

2006-05-10T20:21:53+00:00

Now that netdevice sysfs registration is done as part of
register_netdevice; bridge code no longer has to be tricky when adding
it's kobjects to bridges.

[BRIDGE]: keep track of received multicast packets

2006-05-06T00:07:13+00:00

It makes sense to add this simple statistic to keep track of received
multicast packets.

[BRIDGE]: allow full size vlan packets

2006-04-26T09:39:19+00:00

Need to allow for VLAN header when bridging.

[EBTABLES]: Clean up vmalloc usage in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c

2006-04-20T07:14:49+00:00

Make all the vmalloc calls in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c follow
the standard convention.  Remove unnecessary casts, and use '*object'
instead of 'type'.

[BRIDGE] ebtables: fix allocation in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c

2006-04-12T00:25:38+00:00

Allocate an array of 'struct ebt_chainstack *', the current code allocates
array of 'struct ebt_chainstack'.

akpm: converted to use the

	foo = alloc(sizeof(*foo))

form.  Which would have prevented this from happening in the first place.

akpm: also removed unneeded typecast.

akpm: what on earth is this code doing anyway?  cpu_possible_map can be
sparse..

[BRIDGE]: receive link-local on disabled ports.

2006-04-12T00:21:05+00:00

This change allows link local packets (like 802.3ad and Spanning Tree
Protocol) to be processed even when the bridge is not using the port.
It fixes the chicken-egg problem for bridging a bonded device, and
may also fix problems with spanning tree failover.

[PATCH] for_each_possible_cpu: network codes

2006-04-11T13:18:31+00:00

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs.  We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs.  This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.

We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.

This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu under /net
