* ipv: Re-enable IP when MTU > 68Breno Leitao2008-09-021-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | Re-enable IP when the MTU gets back to a valid size. This patch just checks if the in_dev is NULL on a NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event and if MTU is valid (bigger than 68), then re-enable in_dev. Also a function that checks valid MTU size was created.

* net: convert BUG_TRAP to generic WARN_ONIlpo Järvinen2008-07-251-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to WARN_ON() rather than BUG_ON() though some might actually be promoted to BUG_ON() but I left that to future. I could make at least one BUILD_BUG_ON conversion. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [IPV4]: Reset scope when changing addressBjorn Mork2008-02-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This bug did bite at least one user, who did have to resort to rebooting the system after an "ifconfig eth0 127.0.0.1" typo. Deleting the address and adding a new is a less intrusive workaround. But I still beleive this is a bug that should be fixed. Some way or another. Another possibility would be to remove the scope mangling based on address. This will always be incomplete (are 127/8 the only address space with host scope requirements?) We set the scope to RT_SCOPE_HOST if an IPv4 interface is configured with a loopback address (127/8). The scope is never reset, and will remain set to RT_SCOPE_HOST after changing the address. This patch resets the scope if the address is changed again, to restore normal functionality. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | inet_confirm_addr can be called with NULL in_dev from arp_ignore iff scope is RT_SCOPE_LINK.

* [IPV4]: Remove extra argument from arp_ignore.Denis V. Lunev2008-01-281-11/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | arp_ignore has two arguments: dev & in_dev. dev is used for inet_confirm_addr calling only. inet_confirm_addr, in turn, either gets in_dev from the device passed or iterates over all network devices if the device passed is NULL.

* [IPV4]: Store the net pointer on devinet's ctl tablesPavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-11/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some handers and strategies of devinet sysctl tables need to know the net to propagate the ctl change to all the net devices. I use the (currently unused) extra2 pointer on the tables to get it. Holding the reference on the struct net is not possible, because otherwise we'll get a net->ctl_table->net circular dependency. But since the ctl tables are unregistered during the net destruction, this is safe to get it w/o additional protection. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [IPV4]: Make __devinet_sysctl_register return an errorPavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, this function is void, so failures in creating sysctls for new/renamed devices are not reported to anywhere. Fixing this is another complex (needed?) task, but this return value is needed during the namespaces creation to handle the case, when we failed to create "all" and "default" entries.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AFAIS these two entries should do the same thing - change the forwarding state on ipv4_devconf and on all the devices. I propose to merge the handlers together using ctl paths. The inet_forward_change() is static after this and I move it higher to be closer to other "propagation" helpers and to avoid diff making patches based on { and } matching :) i.e. - make them easier to read.

* [IPV4]: Use ctl paths to register devinet sysctlsPavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-49/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This looks very much like the patch for neighbors. The path is also located on the stack and is prepared inside the function. This time, the call to the registering function is guarded with the RTNL lock, but I decided to keep it on the stack not to litter the devinet.c file with unneeded names and to make it look similar to the neighbors code. This is also intended to help us with the net namespaces and saves the vmlinux size as well - this time by more than 670 bytes. The difference from the first version is just the patch offsets, that changed due to changes in the patch #2.

* [IPV4]: Unify and cleanup calls to devinet_sysctl_registerPavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-18/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently this call is used to register sysctls for devices and for the "default" confs. The "all" sysctls are registered separately. Besides, the inet_device is passed to this function, but it is not needed there at all - just the device name and ifindex are required. Thanks to Herbert, who noticed, that this call doesn't even require the devconf pointer (the last argument) - all we need we can take from the in_device itself. The fix is to make a __devinet_sysctl_register(), which registers sysctls for all "devices" we need, including "default" and "all" :) The original devinet_sysctl_register() works with struct net_device, not the inet_device, and calls the introduced function, passing the device name and ifindex (to be used as procname and ctl_name) into it.

* [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-101-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safeEric W. Biederman2007-10-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
