* genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuseJohannes Berg2013-11-191-13/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.

* genetlink: pass family to functions using groupsJohannes Berg2013-11-191-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | This doesn't really change anything, but prepares for the next patch that will change the APIs to pass the group ID within the family, rather than the global group ID. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* hsr: don't call genl_unregister_mc_group()Johannes Berg2013-11-191-2/+0
| | | | | | | | There's no need to unregister the multicast group if the generic netlink family is registered immediately after. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops()Johannes Berg2013-11-191-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

* net/hsr: Fix possible leak in 'hsr_get_node_status()'Geyslan G. Bem2013-11-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | If 'hsr_get_node_data()' returns error, going directly to 'fail' label doesn't free the memory pointed by 'skb_out'. Signed-off-by: Geyslan G. Bem <geyslan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* genetlink: make all genl_ops users constJohannes Berg2013-11-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that genl_ops are no longer modified in place when registering, they can be made const. This patch was done mostly with spatch: @@ identifier ops; @@ +const struct genl_ops ops[] = { ... }; (except the struct thing in net/openvswitch/datapath.c) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* hsr: use genl_register_family_with_ops()Johannes Berg2013-11-141-29/+17
| | | | | | | | This simplifies the code since there's no longer a need to have error handling in the registration. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol ↵Arvid Brodin2013-11-031-0/+457
(HSRv0) High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and very short reaction time. HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring must be HSR capable. This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0). Signed-off-by: Arvid Brodin <arvid.brodin@xdin.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
