ipv4: teach ipconfig about the MTU option in DHCP

2009-05-19T22:36:17+00:00

The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU.  This can be useful
for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames.
This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option
correctly.

It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU,
but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise
necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would.

This patch was originally submitted to LKML in 2003 by Hans-Peter Jansen.

ipconfig: handle case of delayed DHCP server

2009-05-18T03:39:33+00:00

If a DHCP server is delayed, it's possible for the client to receive the 
DHCPOFFER after it has already sent out a new DHCPDISCOVER message from 
a second interface.  The client then sends out a DHCPREQUEST from the 
second interface, but the server doesn't recognize the device and 
rejects the request.

This patch simply tracks the current device being configured and throws 
away the OFFER if it is not intended for the current device.  A more 
sophisticated approach would be to put the OFFER information into the 
struct ic_device rather than storing it globally.

netns: Use net_eq() to compare net-namespaces for optimization.

2008-07-20T05:34:43+00:00

Without CONFIG_NET_NS, namespace is always &init_net.
Compiler will be able to omit namespace comparisons with this patch.

net: Allow netdevices to specify needed head/tailroom

2008-05-13T03:48:31+00:00

This patch adds needed_headroom/needed_tailroom members to struct
net_device and updates many places that allocate sbks to use them. Not
all of them can be converted though, and I'm sure I missed some (I
mostly grepped for LL_RESERVED_SPACE)

ipv4: annotate a few functions __init in ipconfig.c

2008-04-30T03:58:15+00:00

A few functions are only used from __init context.
So annotate these with __init for consistency and silence
the following warnings:

WARNING: net/ipv4/built-in.o(.text+0x2a876): Section mismatch
         in reference from the function ic_bootp_init() to
         the variable .init.data:bootp_packet_type
WARNING: net/ipv4/built-in.o(.text+0x2a907): Section mismatch
         in reference from the function ic_bootp_cleanup() to
         the variable .init.data:bootp_packet_type

Note: The warnings only appear with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y
