net: Kill dev_rebuild_header

2015-03-02T21:43:41+00:00

Now that there are no more users kill dev_rebuild_header and all of it's
implementations.

This is long overdue.

net: Add Transparent Ethernet Bridging GRO support.

2015-01-02T20:46:41+00:00

Currently the only tunnel protocol that supports GRO with encapsulated
Ethernet is VXLAN. This pulls out the Ethernet code into a proper layer
so that it can be used by other tunnel protocols such as GRE and Geneve.

net: Add function for parsing the header length out of linear ethernet frames

2014-09-06T00:47:02+00:00

This patch updates some of the flow_dissector api so that it can be used to
parse the length of ethernet buffers stored in fragments.  Most of the
changes needed were to __skb_get_poff as it needed to be updated to support
sending a linear buffer instead of a skb.

I have split __skb_get_poff into two functions, the first is skb_get_poff
and it retains the functionality of the original __skb_get_poff.  The other
function is __skb_get_poff which now works much like __skb_flow_dissect in
relation to skb_flow_dissect in that it provides the same functionality but
works with just a data buffer and hlen instead of needing an skb.

net: dsa: reduce number of protocol hooks

2014-08-28T05:59:39+00:00

DSA is currently registering one packet_type function per EtherType it
needs to intercept in the receive path of a DSA-enabled Ethernet device.
Right now we have three of them: trailer, DSA and eDSA, and there might
be more in the future, this will not scale to the addition of new
protocols.

This patch proceeds with adding a new layer of abstraction and two new
functions:

dsa_switch_rcv() which will dispatch into the tag-protocol specific
receive function implemented by net/dsa/tag_*.c

dsa_slave_xmit() which will dispatch into the tag-protocol specific
transmit function implemented by net/dsa/tag_*.c

When we do create the per-port slave network devices, we iterate over
the switch protocol to assign the DSA-specific receive and transmit
operations.

A new fake ethertype value is used: ETH_P_XDSA to illustrate the fact
that this is no longer going to look like ETH_P_DSA or ETH_P_TRAILER
like it used to be.

This allows us to greatly simplify the check in eth_type_trans() and
always override the skb->protocol with ETH_P_XDSA for Ethernet switches
tagged protocol, while also reducing the number repetitive slave
netdevice_ops assignments.

net: set name_assign_type in alloc_netdev()

2014-07-15T23:12:48+00:00

Extend alloc_netdev{,_mq{,s}}() to take name_assign_type as argument, and convert
all users to pass NET_NAME_UNKNOWN.

net: eth_type_trans() should use skb_header_pointer()

2014-01-16T23:30:31+00:00

eth_type_trans() can read uninitialized memory as drivers
do not necessarily pull more than 14 bytes in skb->head before
calling it.

As David suggested, we can use skb_header_pointer() to
fix this without breaking some drivers that might not expect
eth_type_trans() pulling 2 additional bytes.

ethernet: use likely() for common Ethernet encap

2013-10-01T04:52:53+00:00

Mark code path's likely/unlikely based on most common usage.
  * Very few devices use dsa tags.
  * Most traffic is Ethernet (not 802.2)
  * No sane person uses trailer type or Novell encapsulation

ethernet: cleanup eth_type_trans

2013-10-01T04:52:52+00:00

Remove old legacy comment and weird if condition.
The comment has outlived it's stay and is throwback to some
early net code (before my time). Maybe Dave remembers what it meant.
