a14462f1bd net: adjust handle_macvlan to pass port struct to hook
Now there's null check here and also again in the hook. Looking at bridge bits
which are simmilar, port structure is rcu_dereferenced right away in
handle_bridge and passed to hook. Looks nicer.

8a83a00b07 net: maintain namespace isolation between vlan and real device
In the vlan and macvlan drivers, the start_xmit function forwards
data to the dev_queue_xmit function for another device, which may
potentially belong to a different namespace.

To make sure that classification stays within a single namespace,
this resets the potentially critical fields.

618e1b7482 macvlan: implement bridge, VEPA and private mode
This allows each macvlan slave device to be in one
of three modes, depending on the use case:

MACVLAN_PRIVATE:
  The device never communicates with any other device
  on the same upper_dev. This even includes frames
  coming back from a reflective relay, where supported
  by the adjacent bridge.

MACVLAN_VEPA:
  The new Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) mode,
  we assume that the adjacent bridge returns all frames
  where both source and destination are local to the
  macvlan port, i.e. the bridge is set up as a reflective
  relay.
  Broadcast frames coming in from the upper_dev get
  flooded to all macvlan interfaces in VEPA mode.
  We never deliver any frames locally.

MACVLAN_BRIDGE:
  We provide the behavior of a simple bridge between
  different macvlan interfaces on the same port. Frames
  from one interface to another one get delivered directly
  and are not sent out externally. Broadcast frames get
  flooded to all other bridge ports and to the external
  interface, but when they come back from a reflective
  relay, we don't deliver them again.
  Since we know all the MAC addresses, the macvlan bridge
  mode does not require learning or STP like the bridge
  module does.

Based on an earlier patch "macvlan: Reflect macvlan packets
meant for other macvlan devices" by Eric Biederman.

fccaf71011 macvlan: Precise RX stats accounting
With multi queue devices, its possible that several cpus call
macvlan RX routines simultaneously for the same macvlan device.

We update RX stats counter without any locking, so we can
get slightly wrong counters.

One possible fix is to use percpu counters, to get precise
accounting and also get guarantee of no cache line ping pongs
between cpus.

Note: this adds 16 bytes (32 bytes on 64bit arches) of percpu
data per macvlan device.

81adee47df net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.

We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.

In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

2c11455321 macvlan: add multiqueue capability
macvlan devices are currently not multi-queue capable.

We can do that defining rtnl_link_ops method,
get_tx_queues(), called from rtnl_create_link()

This new method gets num_tx_queues/real_num_tx_queues
from lower device.

macvlan_get_tx_queues() is a copy of vlan_get_tx_queues().

Because macvlan_start_xmit() has to update netdev_queue
stats only (and not dev->stats), I chose to change
tx_errors/tx_aborted_errors accounting to tx_dropped,
since netdev_queue structure doesnt define tx_errors /
tx_aborted_errors.

ef5c89967d drivers/net/macvlan.c: fix cloning of tagged VLAN interfaces
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13348

akpm: the reporter disappeared, so I typed it in again.

It is not possible to make clone of tagged VLAN interface to be used as
mac-based vlan interfave.

How reproducible:
Use any 802.1q tagged vlan interface, e.g. eth2.700 and clone it:

  ip link add link eth2.700 address 00:04:75:cb:38:09 macvlan0 type macvlan
  ip link set dev macvlan0 up
  ip addr add 10.195.1.1/24 dev macvlan0

So far, so good. Now try to ping anything via macvlan0:

  ping 10.195.1.2

Actual results:
For every attempted packet tx kernel writes to console:

ccffad25b5 net: convert unicast addr list
This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using
previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the
locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not
needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All
reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes).

I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address
while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len.

The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the
change is not so trivial.

93f154b594 net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).

CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.

It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.

David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().

List of devices that must clear this flag is :

- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
    "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
     already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function

- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

f9ac30f080 macvlan: Deterministic ingress packet delivery
Changing the mac address when a macvlan device is up will leave the
device on the wrong hash chain making it impossible to receive
packets.

There is no checking of the mac address set on the macvlan.  Allowing
a misconfiguration to grab packets from the the underlying device or
another macvlan.

To resolve these problems I update the hash table of macvlans when the
mac address of a macvlan changes, and when updating the hash table
I verify that the new mac address is usable.

The result is well defined and predictable if not perfect handling of
mac vlan mac addresses.

To keep the code clear I have created a set of hash table maintenance
in macvlan so I am not open coding the hash function and the logic
needed to update the hash table all over the place.

e8a0464cc9 netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.

Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
interfaces.  This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.

Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

b89fb7da2f macvlan: Check return of dev_set_allmulti
allmulti might overflow.
Commit: "netdevice: Fix promiscuity and allmulti overflow" in net-next makes
dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti return error number if overflow happened.

Here, we check the positive increment for allmulti to get error return.

82524746c2 rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.h
Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h.

This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the
kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this
list.h without creating some circular dependencies.

For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference()
without including rcupdate.h.  It actually compiles because users of
rcu_dereference() are macros.  Others RCU functions could be used too but
aren't probably because of this.

Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to
many changes/troubles.

7312096454 macvlan: Fix memleak on device removal/crash on module removal
As noticed by Ben Greear, macvlan crashes the kernel when unloading the
module. The reason is that it tries to clean up the macvlan_port pointer
on the macvlan device itself instead of the underlying device. A non-NULL
pointer is taken as indication that the macvlan_handle_frame_hook is
valid, when receiving the next packet on the underlying device it tries
to call the NULL hook and crashes.

Clean up the macvlan_port on the correct device to fix this.

52913246e0 [MACVLAN]: Setting macvlan_handle_frame_hook to NULL when rtnl_link_register() fails.
In drivers/net/macvlan.c, when rtnl_link_register() fails in
macvlan_init_module(), there is no point to set it (second time in
this method) to macvlan_handle_frame; macvlan_init_module() will
return a negative number, so instead this patch sets
macvlan_handle_frame_hook to NULL.

f12ca5f97b [MACVLAN]: Fix thinko in macvlan_transfer_operstate()
When the lower device's carrier is off, the macvlan devices's
carrier state should be checked to decide whether it needs to
be turned off. Currently the lower device's state is checked
a second time.

This still works, but unnecessarily tries to turn off the
carrier when its already off.
