CONFIG_HOTPLUG removal from networking core

2012-12-22T08:03:00+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is always enabled now, so remove the unused code that was
trying to be compiled out when this option was disabled, in the
networking core.

Minor iwlwifi conflict in TX queue disabling between 'net', which
removed a bogus warning, and 'net-next' which added some status
register poking code.

net: Allow userns root control of the core of the network stack.

2012-11-19T01:32:45+00:00

Allow an unpriviled user who has created a user namespace, and then
created a network namespace to effectively use the new network
namespace, by reducing capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) and
capable(CAP_NET_RAW) calls to be ns_capable(net->user_ns,
CAP_NET_ADMIN), or capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW) calls.

Settings that merely control a single network device are allowed.
Either the network device is a logical network device where
restrictions make no difference or the network device is hardware NIC
that has been explicity moved from the initial network namespace.

In general policy and network stack state changes are allowed
while resource control is left unchanged.

Allow ethtool ioctls.

Allow binding to network devices.
Allow setting the socket mark.
Allow setting the socket priority.

Allow setting the network device alias via sysfs.
Allow setting the mtu via sysfs.
Allow changing the network device flags via sysfs.
Allow setting the network device group via sysfs.

Allow the following network device ioctls.
SIOCGMIIPHY
SIOCGMIIREG
SIOCSIFNAME
SIOCSIFFLAGS
SIOCSIFMETRIC
SIOCSIFMTU
SIOCSIFHWADDR
SIOCSIFSLAVE

wireless: add back sysfs directory

2012-11-16T20:37:52+00:00

commit 35b2a113cb0298d4f9a1263338b456094a414057 broke (at least)
Fedora's networking scripts, they check for the existence of the
wireless directory. As the files aren't used, add the directory
back and not the files. Also do it for both drivers based on the
old wireless extensions and cfg80211, regardless of whether the
compat code for wext is built into cfg80211 or not.

net: add unknown state to sysfs NIC duplex export

2012-09-05T21:40:07+00:00

Currently when the NIC duplex state is DUPLEX_UNKNOWN it is exported as
full through sysfs, this patch adds support for DUPLEX_UNKNOWN. It is
handled the same way as in ethtool.

static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()

2012-02-24T09:05:59+00:00

So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.

Typical usage scenarios:

        #include 

        struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;

        if (static_key_false(&key))
                do unlikely code
        else
                do likely code

Or:

        if (static_key_true(&key))
                do likely code
        else
                do unlikely code

The static key is modified via:

        static_key_slow_inc(&key);
        ...
        static_key_slow_dec(&key);

The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.

I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.

On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.
