net: network device name ifalias support

2008-09-23T04:28:11+00:00

This patch add support for keeping an additional character alias
associated with an network interface. This is useful for maintaining
the SNMP ifAlias value which is a user defined value. Routers use this
to hold information like which circuit or line it is connected to. It
is just an arbitrary text label on the network device.

There are two exposed interfaces with this patch, the value can be
read/written either via netlink or sysfs.

This could be maintained just by the snmp daemon, but it is more
generally useful for other management tools, and the kernel is good
place to act as an agreed upon interface to store it.

[NET]: netlink support for moving devices between network namespaces.

2007-10-10T23:49:13+00:00

The simplest thing to implement is moving network devices between
namespaces.  However with the same attribute IFLA_NET_NS_PID we can
easily implement creating devices in the destination network
namespace as well.  However that is a little bit trickier so this
patch sticks to what is simple and easy.

A pid is used to identify a process that happens to be a member
of the network namespace we want to move the network device to.

[NETLINK]: Put {IFA,IFLA}_{RTA,PAYLOAD} macros back for userspace.

2006-12-09T01:19:33+00:00

GLIBC uses them etc.

They are guarded by ifndef __KERNEL__ so nobody will start
accidently using them in the kernel again, it's just for
userspace.

[NET]: Move netlink interface bits to linux/if_link.h.

2006-09-29T01:02:50+00:00

Moving netlink interface bits to linux/if.h is rather troublesome for
applications including both linux/if.h (which was changed to be included
from linux/rtnetlink.h automatically) and net/if.h.
