netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_LLTX to dev->lltx

2024-09-03T09:36:43+00:00

NETIF_F_LLTX can't be changed via Ethtool and is not a feature, rather an attribute, very similar to IFF_NO_QUEUE (and hot). Free one netdev_features_t bit and make it a "hot" private flag. Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

net: nlmon: Simplify nlmon_get_stats64

2024-03-04T10:18:02+00:00

Do not set rtnl_link_stats64 fields to zero, since they are zeroed before ops->ndo_get_stats64 is called in core dev_get_stats() function. Also, simplify the data collection by removing the temporary variable. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: nlmon: Remove init and uninit functions

2024-03-04T10:18:02+00:00

With commit 34d21de99cea9 ("net: Move {l,t,d}stats allocation to core and convert veth & vrf"), stats allocation could be done on net core instead of this driver. With this new approach, the driver doesn't have to bother with error handling (allocation failure checking, making sure free happens in the right spot, etc). This is core responsibility now. Remove the allocation in the nlmon driver and leverage the network core allocation. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: don't include ethtool.h from netdevice.h

2020-11-24T01:27:04+00:00

linux/netdevice.h is included in very many places, touching any of its dependecies causes large incremental builds. Drop the linux/ethtool.h include, linux/netdevice.h just needs a forward declaration of struct ethtool_ops. Fix all the places which made use of this implicit include.

net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.

2017-06-07T19:53:24+00:00

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: make ndo_get_stats64 a void function

2017-01-08T22:51:44+00:00

The network device operation for reading statistics is only called in one place, and it ignores the return value. Having a structure return value is potentially confusing because some future driver could incorrectly assume that the return value was used. Fix all drivers with ndo_get_stats64 to have a void function. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
