008298231a netdev: add more functions to netdevice ops
This patch moves neigh_setup and hard_start_xmit into the network device ops
structure. For bisection, fix all the previously converted drivers as well.
Bonding driver took the biggest hit on this.

Added a prefetch of the hard_start_xmit in the fast path to try and reduce
any impact this would have.

babcda74e9 drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.
The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

233e70f422 saner FASYNC handling on file close
As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.

So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

f42157cb56 tun: fallback if skb_alloc() fails on big packets
skb_alloc produces linear packets (using kmalloc()).  That can fail,
so should we fall back to making paged skbs.

My original version of this patch always allocate paged skbs for big
packets.  But that made performance drop from 8.4 seconds to 8.8
seconds on 1G lguest->Host TCP xmit.  So now we only do that as a

e3b9955697 tun: TUNGETIFF interface to query name and flags
Add a TUNGETIFF interface so that userspace can query a
tun/tap descriptor for its name and flags.

This is needed because it is common for one app to create
a tap interface, exec another app and pass it the file
descriptor for the interface. Without TUNGETIFF the spawned
app has no way of detecting wheter the interface has e.g.
IFF_VNET_HDR set.

f271b2cc78 tun: Fix/rewrite packet filtering logic
Please see the following thread to get some context on this
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121564433018903&w=2

Basically the issue is that current multi-cast filtering stuff in
the TUN/TAP driver is seriously broken.
Original patch went in without proper review and ACK. It was broken and
confusing to start with and subsequent patches broke it completely.
To give you an idea of what's broken here are some of the issues:

- Very confusing comments throughout the code that imply that the
character device is a network interface in its own right, and that packets
are passed between the two nics. Which is completely wrong.

- Wrong set of ioctls is used for setting up filters. They look like
shortcuts for manipulating state of the tun/tap network interface but
in reality manipulate the state of the TX filter.

- ioctls that were originally used for setting address of the the TX filter
got "fixed" and now set the address of the network interface itself. Which
made filter totaly useless.

- Filtering is done too late. Instead of filtering early on, to avoid
unnecessary wakeups, filtering is done in the read() call.

The list goes on and on :)

So the patch cleans all that up. It introduces simple and clean interface for
setting up TX filters (TUNSETTXFILTER + tun_filter spec) and does filtering
before enqueuing the packets.

TX filtering is useful in the scenarios where TAP is part of a bridge, in
which case it gets all broadcast, multicast and potentially other packets when
the bridge is learning. So for example Ethernet tunnelling app may want to
setup TX filters to avoid tunnelling multicast traffic. QEMU and other
hypervisors can push RX filtering that is currently done in the guest into the
host context therefore saving wakeups and unnecessary data transfer.

e35259a953 tun: Persistent devices can get stuck in xoff state
The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap.
TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue().
App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup.
Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but
the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But
in the case of persistent devices this happens only during
initial setup.

The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens
it we clear xoff state and that gets things moving again.

07240fd090 tun: Interface to query tun/tap features.
The problem with introducing checksum offload and gso to tun is they
need to set dev->features to enable GSO and/or checksumming, which is
supposed to be done before register_netdevice(), ie. as part of
TUNSETIFF.

Unfortunately, TUNSETIFF has always just ignored flags it doesn't
understand, so there's no good way of detecting whether the kernel
supports new IFF_ flags.

This patch implements a TUNGETFEATURES ioctl which returns all the valid IFF
flags.  It could be extended later to include other features.

Here's an example program which uses it:

#include <linux/if_tun.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static struct {
	unsigned int flag;
	const char *name;
} known_flags[] = {
	{ IFF_TUN, "TUN" },
	{ IFF_TAP, "TAP" },
	{ IFF_NO_PI, "NO_PI" },
	{ IFF_ONE_QUEUE, "ONE_QUEUE" },
};

int main()
{
	unsigned int features, i;

	int netfd = open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR);
	if (netfd < 0)
		err(1, "Opening /dev/net/tun");

	if (ioctl(netfd, TUNGETFEATURES, &features) != 0) {
		printf("Kernel does not support TUNGETFEATURES, guessing\n");
		features = (IFF_TUN|IFF_TAP|IFF_NO_PI|IFF_ONE_QUEUE);
	}
	printf("Available features are: ");
	for (i = 0; i < sizeof(known_flags)/sizeof(known_flags[0]); i++) {
		if (features & known_flags[i].flag) {
			features &= ~known_flags[i].flag;
			printf("%s ", known_flags[i].name);
		}
	}
	if (features)
		printf("(UNKNOWN %#x)", features);
	printf("\n");
	return 0;
}

fc54c65853 [TUN]: Allow to register tun devices in namespace.
This is basically means that a net is set for a new device, but
actually also involves two more steps:

1. mark the tun device as "local", i.e. do not allow for it to
   move across namespaces.

This is done so, since tun device is most often associated to some
file (and thus to some process) and moving the device alone is not
valid while keeping the file and the process outside. The need in 
ability to move a detached persistent device is to be investigated 
later.

2. get the tun device's net when tun becomes attached and put one
   when it becomes detached.

This is needed to handle the case when a task owning the tun dies,
but a files lives for some more time - in this case we must not
allow for net to be freed, since its exit hook will spoil that file's
private data by unregistering the tun from under tun_chr_close.

a26af1e08a tun: impossible to deassert IFF_ONE_QUEUE or IFF_NO_PI
From: "Nathaniel Filardo" <nwfilardo@gmail.com>

Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9806

The TUN/TAP driver only permits one-way transitions of IFF_NO_PI or
IFF_ONE_QUEUE during the lifetime of a tap/tun interface.  Note that
tun_set_iff contains

 541         if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_NO_PI)
 542                 tun->flags |= TUN_NO_PI;
 543 
 544         if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_ONE_QUEUE)
 545                 tun->flags |= TUN_ONE_QUEUE;

This is easily fixed by adding else branches which clear these bits.

Steps to reproduce:

This is easily reproduced by setting an interface persistant using tunctl then
attempting to open it as IFF_TAP or IFF_TUN, without asserting the IFF_NO_PI
flag.  The ioctl() will succeed and the ifr.flags word is not modified, but the
interface remains in IFF_NO_PI mode (as it was set by tunctl).

881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

device these values are both updated.  However, if SIOCSIFHWADDR is
performed on the net device directly (for instance, setting the hw address
using ifconfig), the tun device does not get updated.  Perhaps the
tun.dev_addr field should be removed completely at some point, as it is
redundant and net_device.dev_addr can be used anywhere it is used.

d54b1fdb1d [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 5
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

609d7fa956 [PATCH] file: modify struct fown_struct to use a struct pid
File handles can be requested to send sigio and sigurg to processes.  By
tracking the destination processes using struct pid instead of pid_t we make
the interface safe from all potential pid wrap around problems.

ca6bb5d7ab [NET]: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN to create tuntap devices.
The tuntap driver allows an admin to create persistent devices and
assign ownership of them to individual users. Unfortunately, relaxing
the permissions on the /dev/net/tun device node so that they can
actually use those devices will _also_ allow those users to create
arbitrary new devices of their own. This patch corrects that, and
adjusts the recommended permissions for the device node accordingly.
