net: Introduce L3 Master device abstraction

2015-09-30T03:40:32+00:00

L3 master devices allow users of the abstraction to influence FIB lookups
for enslaved devices. Current API provides a means for the master device
to return a specific FIB table for an enslaved device, to return an
rtable/custom dst and influence the OIF used for fib lookups.

lwtunnel: infrastructure for handling light weight tunnels like mpls

2015-07-21T17:39:03+00:00

Provides infrastructure to parse/dump/store encap information for
light weight tunnels like mpls. Encap information for such tunnels
is associated with fib routes.

This infrastructure is based on previous suggestions from
Eric Biederman to follow the xfrm infrastructure.

net: add CONFIG_NET_INGRESS to enable ingress filtering

2015-05-14T05:10:05+00:00

This new config switch enables the ingress filtering infrastructure that is
controlled through the ingress_needed static key. This prepares the
introduction of the Netfilter ingress hook that resides under this unique
static key.

Note that CONFIG_SCH_INGRESS automatically selects this, that should be no
problem since this also depends on CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT.

kconfig: use bool instead of boolean for type definition attributes

2015-01-07T12:08:04+00:00

Support for keyword 'boolean' will be dropped later on.

No functional change.

net: introduce generic switch devices support

2014-12-03T04:01:20+00:00

The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch
chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is
only one ndo defined:
- for getting physical switch id is in place.

Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.

bpf: split eBPF out of NET

2014-10-27T23:09:59+00:00

introduce two configs:
- hidden CONFIG_BPF to select eBPF interpreter that classic socket filters
  depend on
- visible CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL (default off) that tracing and sockets can use

that solves several problems:
- tracing and others that wish to use eBPF don't need to depend on NET.
  They can use BPF_SYSCALL to allow loading from userspace or select BPF
  to use it directly from kernel in NET-less configs.
- in 3.18 programs cannot be attached to events yet, so don't force it on
- when the rest of eBPF infra is there in 3.19+, it's still useful to
  switch it off to minimize kernel size

bloat-o-meter on x64 shows:
add/remove: 0/60 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-15601 (-15601)

tested with many different config combinations. Hopefully didn't miss anything.

net: bpf: fix bpf syscall dependence on anon_inodes

2014-10-10T19:02:23+00:00

minimal configurations where EPOLL, PERF_EVENTS, etc are disabled,
but NET is enabled, are failing to build with link error:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `bpf_prog_load':
syscall.c:(.text+0x3b728): undefined reference to `anon_inode_getfd'

fix it by selecting ANON_INODES when NET is enabled

netfilter: bridge: build br_nf_core only if required

2014-09-30T18:07:51+00:00

Eric reports build failure with
CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER=n

We insist to build br_nf_core.o unconditionally, but we must only do so
if br_netfilter was enabled, else it fails to build due to
functions being defined to empty stubs (and some structure members
being defined out).

Also, BRIDGE_NETFILTER=y|m makes no sense when BRIDGE=n.

netfilter: bridge: move br_netfilter out of the core

2014-09-26T16:42:31+00:00

Jesper reported that br_netfilter always registers the hooks since
this is part of the bridge core. This harms performance for people that
don't need this.

This patch modularizes br_netfilter so it can be rmmod'ed, thus,
the hooks can be unregistered. I think the bridge netfilter should have
been a separated module since the beginning, Patrick agreed on that.

Note that this is breaking compatibility for users that expect that
bridge netfilter is going to be available after explicitly 'modprobe
bridge' or via automatic load through brctl.

However, the damage can be easily undone by modprobing br_netfilter.
The bridge core also spots a message to provide a clue to people that
didn't notice that this has been deprecated.

On top of that, the plan is that nftables will not rely on this software
layer, but integrate the connection tracking into the bridge layer to
enable stateful filtering and NAT, which is was bridge netfilter users
seem to require.

This patch still keeps the fake_dst_ops in the bridge core, since this
is required by when the bridge port is initialized. So we can safely
modprobe/rmmod br_netfilter anytime.

6lowpan: introduce new net/6lowpan directory

2014-07-11T23:53:30+00:00

This patch moves generic code which is used by bluetooth and ieee802154
6lowpan to a new net/6lowpan directory. This directory contains generic
6LoWPAN code which is shared between bluetooth and ieee802154 MAC-Layer.

This is the IPHC - "IPv6 Header Compression" format at the moment. Which
is described by RFC 6282 [0]. The BLTE 6LoWPAN draft describes that the
IPHC is the same format like IEEE 802.15.4, see [1].

Futuremore we can put more code into this directory which is shared
between BLTE and IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN like RFC 6775 or the routing
protocol RPL RFC 6550.

To avoid naming conflicts I renamed 6lowpan-y to ieee802154_6lowpan-y
in net/ieee802154/Makefile.
