2006-03-20[BRIDGE]: use kzallocStephen Hemminger
Use kzalloc versus kmalloc+memset. Also don't need to do memset() of bridge address since it is in netdev private data that is already zero'd in alloc_netdev. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[BRIDGE]: use kcallocStephen Hemminger
Use kcalloc rather than kmalloc + memset. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-04[BRIDGE]: generate kobject remove eventStephen Hemminger
The earlier round of kobject/sysfs changes to bridge caused it not to generate a uevent on removal. Don't think any application cares (not sure about Xen) but since it generates add uevent it should generate remove as well.

2006-03-04[BRIDGE]: port timer initializationStephen Hemminger
Initialize the STP timers for a port when it is created, rather than when it is enabled. This will prevent future race conditions where timer gets started before port is enabled. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemmigner@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-04[BRIDGE]: fix crash in STPStephen Hemminger
Bridge would crash because of uninitailized timer if STP is used and device was inserted into a bridge before bridge was up. This got introduced when the delayed port checking was added. Fix is to not enable STP on port unless bridge is up.

2006-02-09[BRIDGE]: fix error handling for add interface to bridgeStephen Hemminger
Refactor how the bridge code interacts with kobject system. It should still use kobjects even if not using sysfs. Fix the error unwind handling in br_add_if. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-02-09[BRIDGE]: fix for RCU and deadlock on device removalStephen Hemminger
Change Bridge receive path to correctly handle RCU removal of device from bridge. Also fixes deadlock between carrier_check and del_nbp. This replaces the previous deleted flag fix. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-01-31[BRIDGE]: Fix device delete race.Stephen Hemminger
This is a simpler fix for the two races in bridge device removal. The Xen race of delif and notify is managed now by a new deleted flag. No need for barriers or other locking because of rtnl mutex. The del_timer_sync()'s are unnecessary, because br_stp_disable_port delete's the timers, and they will finish running before RCU callback.

2006-01-05[NET]: Change 1500 to ETH_DATA_LEN in some filesKris Katterjohn
These patches add the header linux/if_ether.h and change 1500 to ETH_DATA_LEN in some files. Signed-off-by: Kris Katterjohn <kjak@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-01-03[BRIDGE]: limited ethtool supportStephen Hemminger
Add limited ethtool support to bridge to allow disabling features. Note: if underlying device does not support a feature (like checksum offload), then the bridge device won't inherit it. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-01-03[BRIDGE]: handle speed detection after carrier changesStephen Hemminger
Speed of a interface may not be available until carrier is detected in the case of autonegotiation. To get the correct value we need to recheck speed after carrier event. But the check needs to be done in a context that is similar to normal ethtool interface (can sleep). Also, delay check for 1ms to try avoid any carrier bounce transitions.

2005-11-23[BRIDGE]: recompute features when adding a new deviceOlaf Rempel
We must recompute bridge features everytime the list of underlying devices changes, or we might end up with features that are not supported by all devices (eg. NETIF_F_TSO) This patch adds the missing recompute when adding a device to the bridge. Signed-off-by: Olaf Rempel <razzor@kopf-tisch.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-10-12[BRIDGE]: fix race on bridge del ifStephen Hemminger
This fixes the RCU race on bridge delete interface. Basically, the network device has to be detached from the bridge in the first step (pre-RCU), rather than later. At that point, no more bridge traffic will come in, and the other code will not think that network device is part of a bridge. This should also fix the XEN test problems.

2005-05-29[BRIDGE]: set features based on enslaved devicesStephen Hemminger
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 <catab at umrella.ro> Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
