[NET]: BRIDGE_EBT_ARPREPLY must depend on INET

2005-07-19T21:00:13Z

BRIDGE_EBT_ARPREPLY=y and INET=n results in the following compile error: net/built-in.o: In function `ebt_target_reply': ebt_arpreply.c:(.text+0x68fb9): undefined reference to `arp_send' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: move config options out to individual protocols

2005-07-12T04:13:56Z

Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.

[NETFILTER]: Fix connection tracking bug in 2.6.12

2005-06-28T23:04:44Z

In 2.6.12 we started dropping the conntrack reference when a packet leaves the IP layer. This broke connection tracking on a bridge, because bridge-netfilter defers calling some NF_IP_* hooks to the bridge layer for locally generated packets going out a bridge, where the conntrack reference is no longer available. This patch keeps the reference in this case as a temporary solution, long term we will remove the defered hook calling. No attempt is made to drop the reference in the bridge-code when it is no longer needed, tc actions could already have sent the packet anywhere. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.

[EBTABLES]: Fix thinkos in ebt_log.c

2005-06-28T19:39:40Z

When converting over the skb_header_pointer(), I converted parts of this module incorrectly. Kill the 'u' union in ebt_log() and all the bogus references to it. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[BRIDGE]: receive path optimization

2005-05-29T21:16:48Z

This improves the bridge local receive path by avoiding going through another softirq. The bridge receive path is already being called from a netif_receive_skb() there is no point in going through another receiveq round trip. Recursion is limited because bridge can never be a port of a bridge so handle_bridge() always returns. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[BRIDGE]: prevent bad forwarding table updates

2005-05-29T21:15:55Z

Avoid poisoning of the bridge forwarding table by frames that have been dropped by filtering. This prevents spoofed source addresses on hostile side of bridge from causing packet leakage, a small but possible security risk. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[BRIDGE]: set features based on enslaved devices

2005-05-29T21:15:17Z

Make features of the bridge pseudo-device be a subset of the underlying devices. Motivated by Xen and others who use bridging to do failover. Signed-off-by: Catalin BOIE Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] kobject/hotplug split - net bridge

2005-04-19T04:57:37Z

kobject_add() and kobject_del() don't emit hotplug events anymore. We need to do it ourselves now. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
