[NET] NETNS: Omit sock->sk_net without CONFIG_NET_NS.

2008-03-25T19:39:55+00:00

Introduce per-sock inlines: sock_net(), sock_net_set()
and per-inet_timewait_sock inlines: twsk_net(), twsk_net_set().
Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists.
Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations.

[DECNET]: Switch to using ctl_paths.

2008-01-28T23:01:09+00:00

The decnet includes two places to patch. The first one is
the net/decnet table itself, and it is patched just like
other subsystems in the first patch in this series.

The second place is a bit more complex - it is the
net/decnet/conf/xxx entries,. similar to those in
ipv4/devinet.c and ipv6/addrconf.c. This code is made similar
to those in ipv[46].

[NET]: Make rtnetlink infrastructure network namespace aware (v3)

2008-01-28T22:54:25+00:00

After this patch none of the netlink callback support anything
except the initial network namespace but the rtnetlink infrastructure
now handles multiple network namespaces.

Changes from v2:
- IPv6 addrlabel processing

Changes from v1:
- no need for special rtnl_unlock handling
- fixed IPv6 ndisc

[NET]: Modify all rtnetlink methods to only work in the initial namespace (v2)

2008-01-28T22:54:24+00:00

Before I can enable rtnetlink to work in all network namespaces I need
to be certain that something won't break.  So this patch deliberately
disables all of the rtnletlink methods in everything except the
initial network namespace.  After the methods have been audited this
extra check can be disabled.

Changes from v1:
- added IPv6 addrlabel protection

[DECNET]: dn_nl_deladdr() almost always returns no error

2007-11-30T12:43:31+00:00

As far as I see from the err variable initialization
the dn_nl_deladdr() routine was designed to report errors
like "EADDRNOTAVAIL" and probaby "ENODEV".

But the code sets this err to 0 after the first nlmsg_parse
and goes on, returning this 0 in any case.

[DECNET]: "addr" module param can't be __initdata

2007-11-07T12:08:55+00:00

sysfs keeps references to module parameters via /sys/module/*/parameters,
so marking them as __initdata can't work.

Steps to reproduce:

	modprobe decnet
	cat /sys/module/decnet/parameters/addr

[NET]: Make the loopback device per network namespace.

2007-10-10T23:52:49+00:00

This patch makes loopback_dev per network namespace.  Adding
code to create a different loopback device for each network
namespace and adding the code to free a loopback device
when a network namespace exits.

This patch modifies all users the loopback_dev so they
access it as init_net.loopback_dev, keeping all of the
code compiling and working.  A later pass will be needed to
update the users to use something other than the initial network
namespace.

[NET]: Dynamically allocate the loopback device, part 1.

2007-10-10T23:52:14+00:00

This patch replaces all occurences to the static variable
loopback_dev to a pointer loopback_dev. That provides the
mindless, trivial, uninteressting change part for the dynamic
allocation for the loopback.

[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.

2007-10-10T23:49:10+00:00

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.
