2011-02-18ipv4: Add hash table of interface addresses.David S. Miller
This will be used to optimize __ip_dev_find() and friends. With help from Eric Dumazet. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-12-06__in_dev_get_rtnl() can use rtnl_dereference()Eric Dumazet
If caller holds RTNL, we dont need a memory barrier (smp_read_barrier_depends) included in rcu_dereference(). Just use rtnl_dereference() to properly document the assertions. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-11-17inet: Define IPV4_DEVCONF_MAXThomas Graf
Define IPV4_DEVCONF_MAX to get rid of MAX - 1 notation. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-11-12igmp: RCU conversion of in_dev->mc_listEric Dumazet
in_dev->mc_list is protected by one rwlock (in_dev->mc_list_lock). This can easily be converted to a RCU protection. Writers hold RTNL, so mc_list_lock is removed, not replaced by a spinlock.

2010-09-30ipv4: introduce __ip_dev_find()Eric Dumazet
ip_dev_find(net, addr) finds a device given an IPv4 source address and takes a reference on it. Introduce __ip_dev_find(), taking a third argument, to optionally take the device reference. Callers not asking the reference to be taken should be in an rcu_read_lock() protected section. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-09-15ipv4: ip_ptr cleanupsEric Dumazet
dev->ip_ptr is protected by rtnl and rcu. Yet some places dont use appropriate primitives and/or locking rules. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-16net ipv4: Decouple ipv4 interface parameters from binary sysctl numbersEric W. Biederman
Stop using the binary sysctl enumeartion in sysctl.h as an index into a per interface array. This leads to unnecessary binary sysctl number allocation, and a fragility in data structure and implementation because of unnecessary coupling. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-01-07net: RFC3069, private VLAN proxy arp supportJesper Dangaard Brouer
This is to be used together with switch technologies, like RFC3069, that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with each other, but they are allowed to talk to the upstream router. As described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing. This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received). Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan": /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan This switch technology is known by different vendor names: - In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation. - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN. - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation. - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

2009-12-25net: restore ip source validationJamal Hadi Salim
when using policy routing and the skb mark: there are cases where a back path validation requires us to use a different routing table for src ip validation than the one used for mapping ingress dst ip. One such a case is transparent proxying where we pretend to be the destination system and therefore the local table is used for incoming packets but possibly a main table would be used on outbound. Make the default behavior to allow the above and if users need to turn on the symmetry via sysctl src_valid_mark Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@cyberus.ca> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-12-03ipv4 05/05: add sysctl to accept packets with local source addressesPatrick McHardy
commit 8ec1e0ebe26087bfc5c0394ada5feb5758014fc8 Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Date: Thu Dec 3 12:16:35 2009 +0100 ipv4: add sysctl to accept packets with local source addresses Change fib_validate_source() to accept packets with a local source address when the "accept_local" sysctl is set for the incoming inet device. Combined with the previous patches, this allows to communicate between multiple local interfaces over the wire. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-07-27ip: fix logic of reverse path filter sysctlStephen Hemminger
Even though reverse path filter was changed from simple boolean to trinary control, the loose mode only works if both all and device are configured because of this logic error. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-02-01net: add ARP notify option for devicesStephen Hemminger

2008-06-03route: Remove unused ifa_anycast fieldThomas Graf
The field was supposed to allow the creation of an anycast route by assigning an anycast address to an address prefix. It was never implemented so this field is unused and serves no purpose. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-03-26[NET] NETNS: Omit net_device->nd_net without CONFIG_NET_NS.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki

2008-01-28[IPV4]: Remove extra argument from arp_ignore.Denis V. Lunev
arp_ignore has two arguments: dev & in_dev. dev is used for inet_confirm_addr calling only. inet_confirm_addr, in turn, either gets in_dev from the device passed or iterates over all network devices if the device passed is NULL. It seems logical to directly pass in_dev into inet_confirm_addr. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-28[IPV4]: Switch users of ipv4_devconf(_all) to use the pernet onePavel Emelyanov

2008-01-28[INET]: Merge sys.net.ipv4.ip_forward and sys.net.ipv4.conf.all.forwardingPavel Emelyanov
AFAIS these two entries should do the same thing - change the forwarding state on ipv4_devconf and on all the devices. I propose to merge the handlers together using ctl paths. The inet_forward_change() is static after this and I move it higher to be closer to other "propagation" helpers and to avoid diff making patches based on { and } matching :) i.e. - make them easier to read.

2007-06-07[IPV4]: Restore old behaviour of default config valuesHerbert Xu
Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added (or rarely in ipmr). Therefore the default config values they get are the ones at the time of these operations. Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour of default config values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519). This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly set by the user since the inet device's creation.

2007-06-07[IPV4]: Add default config support after inetdev_initHerbert Xu
Previously once inetdev_init has been called on a device any changes made to ipv4_devconf_dflt would have no effect on that device's configuration. This creates a problem since we have moved the point where inetdev_init is called from when an address is added to where the device is registered. This patch is the first half of a set that tries to mimic the old behaviour while still calling inetdev_init. It propagates any changes to ipv4_devconf_dflt to those devices that have not had the corresponding attribute set. The next patch will forcibly set all values at the point where inetdev_init was previously called. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-06-07[IPV4]: Convert IPv4 devconf to an arrayHerbert Xu
This patch converts the ipv4_devconf config members (everything except sysctl) to an array.

2005-10-03[IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnlHerbert Xu
The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case. 1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get(). 2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu(). 3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl(). There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
