macvlan: Set IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag to prevent unnecessary promisc mode.

2013-03-20T20:05:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 87ab7f6f2874f1115817e394a7ed2dea1c72549e ] Macvlan already supports hw address filters. Set the IFF_UNICAST_FLT so that it doesn't needlesly enter PROMISC mode when macvlans are stacked. Signed-of-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Revert "net: maintain namespace isolation between vlan and real device"

2012-05-11T03:03:34+00:00

This reverts commit 8a83a00b0735190384a348156837918271034144. It causes regressions for S390 devices, because it does an unconditional DST drop on SKBs for vlans and the QETH device needs the neighbour entry hung off the DST for certain things on transmit. Arnd can't remember exactly why he even needed this change. Conflicts: drivers/net/macvlan.c net/8021q/vlan_dev.c net/core/dev.c Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: use eth_hw_addr_random() and reset addr_assign_type

2012-02-15T20:34:17+00:00

Use eth_hw_addr_random() instead of calling random_ether_addr() to set addr_assign_type correctly to NET_ADDR_RANDOM. Reset the state to NET_ADDR_PERM as soon as the MAC get changed via .ndo_set_mac_address. v2: adapt to renamed eth_hw_addr_random() Signed-off-by: Danny Kukawka Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macvlan: fix a possible use after free

2012-01-23T18:56:18+00:00

Commit bc416d9768 (macvlan: handle fragmented multicast frames) added a possible use after free in macvlan_handle_frame(), since ip_check_defrag() uses pskb_may_pull() : skb header can be reallocated. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: introduce vlan_vid_[add/del] and use them instead of direct [add/kill]_vid ndo calls

2011-12-09T00:52:42+00:00

This patch adds wrapper for ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid/ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid functions. Check for NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER feature is done in this wrapper. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: make vlan ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid return error value

2011-12-09T00:52:37+00:00

Let caller know the result of adding/removing vlan id to/from vlan filter. In some drivers I make those functions to just return 0. But in those where there is able to see if hw setup went correctly, return value is set appropriately. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macvlan: receive multicast with local address

2011-11-04T21:39:32+00:00

When implementing VRRP v2 using macvlan several problems were discovered. VRRP is weird in that all routers participating in a redundant group use the same virtual MAC address. Macvlan is a natural driver to use for this but it doesn't work. The problem is that packets with a macvlan device's source address are not received. The problem is actually a regression that date back almost 2 years now. The original problems started with: commit 618e1b7482f7a8a4c6c6e8ccbe140e4c331df4e9 Author: Arnd Bergmann Date: Thu Nov 26 06:07:10 2009 +0000 macvlan: implement bridge, VEPA and private mode This patches restores the original 2.6.32 behavior. Allowing multicast packets received with the VRRP source address to be received. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macvlan: handle fragmented multicast frames

2011-10-19T03:22:07+00:00

Fragmented multicast frames are delivered to a single macvlan port, because ip defrag logic considers other samples are redundant. Implement a defrag step before trying to send the multicast frame. Reported-by: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macvlan/macvtap: Fix unicast between macvtap interfaces in bridge mode

2011-10-05T03:31:23+00:00

Packets should always be forwarded to the lowerdev using dev_forward_skb. vlan->forward is for packets being forwarded directly to another macvlan/ macvtap device (used for multicast in bridge mode). Reported-and-tested-by: Shlomo Pongratz Signed-off-by: David Ward Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
