gre: minor cleanups in netlink interface

2008-10-10T19:11:06+00:00

- use typeful helpers for IFLA_GRE_LOCAL/IFLA_GRE_REMOTE
- replace magic value by FIELD_SIZEOF
- use MODULE_ALIAS_RTNL_LINK macro

inet: Make tunnel RX/TX byte counters more consistent

2008-10-09T19:03:17+00:00

This patch makes the RX/TX byte counters for IPIP, GRE and SIT more
consistent.  Previously we included the external IP headers on the
way out but not when the packet is inbound.

The new scheme is to count payload only in both directions.  For
IPIP and SIT this simply means the exclusion of the external IP
header.  For GRE this means that we exclude the GRE header as
well.

gre: Add Transparent Ethernet Bridging

2008-10-09T19:00:17+00:00

This patch adds support for Ethernet over GRE encapsulation.
This is exposed to user-space with a new link type of "gretap"
instead of "gre".  It will create an ARPHRD_ETHER device in
lieu of the usual ARPHRD_IPGRE.

Note that to preserver backwards compatibility all Transparent
Ethernet Bridging packets are passed to an ARPHRD_IPGRE tunnel
if its key matches and there is no ARPHRD_ETHER device whose
key matches more closely.

gre: Add netlink interface

2008-10-09T18:59:55+00:00

This patch adds a netlink interface that will eventually displace
the existing ioctl interface.  It utilises the elegant rtnl_link_ops
mechanism.

This also means that user-space no longer needs to rely on the
tunnel interface being of type GRE to identify GRE tunnels.  The
identification can now occur using rtnl_link_ops.

gre: Move MTU setting out of ipgre_tunnel_bind_dev

2008-10-09T18:59:32+00:00

This patch moves the dev->mtu setting out of ipgre_tunnel_bind_dev.
This is in prepartion of using rtnl_link where we'll need to make
the MTU setting conditional on whether the user has supplied an
MTU.  This also requires the move of the ipgre_tunnel_bind_dev
call out of the dev->init function so that we can access the user
parameters later.

This patch also adds a check to prevent setting the MTU below
the minimum of 68.

gre: Use needed_headroom

2008-10-09T18:58:54+00:00

Now that we have dev->needed_headroom, we can use it instead of
having a bogus dev->hard_header_len.  This also allows us to
include dev->hard_header_len in the MTU computation so that when
we do have a meaningful hard_harder_len in future it is included
automatically in figuring out the MTU.

Incidentally, this fixes a bug where we ignored the needed_headroom
field of the underlying device in calculating our own hard_header_len.

net: The world is not perfect patch.

2008-05-22T00:47:54+00:00

  Unless there will be any objection here, I suggest consider the
following patch which simply removes the code for the
-DI_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT in the three methods which use it.

The compilation errors we get when using -DI_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT
show that this code was not built and not used for really a long time.
