a43912ab19 tunnel: eliminate recursion field
It seems recursion field from "struct ip_tunnel" is not anymore needed.
recursion prevention is done at the upper level (in dev_queue_xmit()),
since we use HARD_TX_LOCK protection for tunnels.

This avoids a cache line ping pong on "struct ip_tunnel" : This structure
should be now mostly read on xmit and receive paths.

be77e59307 net: fix tunnels in netns after ndo_ changes
dev_net_set() should be the very first thing after alloc_netdev().

"ndo_" changes turned simple assignment (which is OK to do before netns
assignment) into quite non-trivial operation (which is not OK, init_net was
used). This leads to incomplete initialisation of tunnel device in netns.

64194c31a0 inet: Make tunnel RX/TX byte counters more consistent
This patch makes the RX/TX byte counters for IPIP, GRE and SIT more
consistent.  Previously we included the external IP headers on the
way out but not when the packet is inbound.

The new scheme is to count payload only in both directions.  For
IPIP and SIT this simply means the exclusion of the external IP
header.  For GRE this means that we exclude the GRE header as
well.

e1a8000228 gre: Add Transparent Ethernet Bridging
This patch adds support for Ethernet over GRE encapsulation.
This is exposed to user-space with a new link type of "gretap"
instead of "gre".  It will create an ARPHRD_ETHER device in
lieu of the usual ARPHRD_IPGRE.

Note that to preserver backwards compatibility all Transparent
Ethernet Bridging packets are passed to an ARPHRD_IPGRE tunnel
if its key matches and there is no ARPHRD_ETHER device whose
key matches more closely.

This is in prepartion of using rtnl_link where we'll need to make

parameters later.

Now that we have dev->needed_headroom, we can use it instead of
having a bogus dev->hard_header_len.  This also allows us to
include dev->hard_header_len in the MTU computation so that when

automatically in figuring out the MTU.

Incidentally, this fixes a bug where we ignored the needed_headroom

b37d428b24 [INET]: Don't create tunnels with '%' in name.
Four tunnel drivers (ip_gre, ipip, ip6_tunnel and sit) can receive a
pre-defined name for a device from the userspace.  Since these drivers
call the register_netdevice() (rtnl_lock, is held), which does _not_
generate the device's name, this name may contain a '%' character.

Not sure how bad is this to have a device with a '%' in its name, but
all the other places either use the register_netdev(), which call the
dev_alloc_name(), or explicitly call the dev_alloc_name() before
registering, i.e. do not allow for such names.

ee34c1eb35 [IP_GRE]: Rebinding of GRE tunnels to other interfaces
This is similar to the change already done for IPIP tunnels.

Once created, a GRE tunnel can't be bound to another device.
To reproduce:

# create a tunnel:
ip tunnel add tunneltest0 mode gre remote 10.0.0.1 dev eth0
# try to change the bounding device from eth0 to eth1:
ip tunnel change tunneltest0 dev eth1
# show the result:
ip tunnel show tunneltest0

tunneltest0: gre/ip  remote 10.0.0.1  local any  dev eth0  ttl inherit

Notice the bound device has not changed from eth0 to eth1.

This patch fixes it. When changing the binding, it also recalculates the
MTU according to the new bound device's MTU.

3b04ddde02 [NET]: Move hardware header operations out of netdevice.
Since hardware header operations are part of the protocol class
not the device instance, make them into a separate object and
save memory.

10d024c1b2 [NET]: Nuke SET_MODULE_OWNER macro.
It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it.  The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

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.
