vlan: Use bitmask of feature flags instead of seperate feature bits

2008-05-23T07:27:50+00:00

Herbert Xu points out that the use of seperate feature bits for features
to be propagated to VLAN devices is going to get messy real soon.
Replace the VLAN feature bits by a bitmask of feature flags to be
propagated and restore the old GSO_SHIFT/MASK values.

[VLAN]: Propagate selected feature bits to VLAN devices

2008-05-20T21:54:50+00:00

Propagate feature bits from the NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE notifier. For now
only TSO is propagated for devices that announce their ability to
support TSO in combination with VLAN accel by setting the NETIF_F_VLAN_TSO
flag.

net: Allow netdevices to specify needed head/tailroom

2008-05-13T03:48:31+00:00

This patch adds needed_headroom/needed_tailroom members to struct
net_device and updates many places that allocate sbks to use them. Not
all of them can be converted though, and I'm sure I missed some (I
mostly grepped for LL_RESERVED_SPACE)

net: Set LL_MAX_HEADER properly for wireless.

2008-05-13T03:17:33+00:00

Wireless networking, particularly with MESH enabled, has
quite strong requirements for link-layer header space.

Based upon some numbers and descriptions from Johannes Berg
we use 96 (same as AX25) for plain wireless, and with
mesh enabled we use 128.

In the process, simplify the cpp conditional logic here by
ordering the cases by those needing the most space down
to those needing the least case.

syncppp: Fix crashes.

2008-05-12T10:29:11+00:00

The syncppp layer wants a mid-level netdev private pointer.

It was using netdev->priv but that only worked by accident,
and thus this scheme was broken when the device private
allocation strategy changed.

Add a proper mid-layer private pointer for uses like this,
update syncppp and all users, and remove the HDLC_PPP broken
tag from drivers/net/wan/Kconfig

[NETNS]: Add netns refcnt debug for network devices.

2008-04-16T09:02:18+00:00

dev_set_net is called for
- just allocated devices
- devices moving from one namespace to another
release_net has proper check inside to distinguish these cases.

[NETNS]: Declare init_net even without CONFIG_NET defined.

2008-04-03T20:04:33+00:00

This does not look good, but there is no other choice. The compilation
without CONFIG_NET is broken and can not be fixed with ease.

After that there is no need for the following commits:

[NET]: Fix allnoconfig build on powerpc and avr32
