2006-05-05	[BRIDGE]: keep track of received multicast packets	Stephen Hemminger	1	-0/+1
	It makes sense to add this simple statistic to keep track of received multicast packets. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-04-11	[BRIDGE]: receive link-local on disabled ports.	Stephen Hemminger	1	-3/+0
	This change allows link local packets (like 802.3ad and Spanning Tree Protocol) to be processed even when the bridge is not using the port. It fixes the chicken-egg problem for bridging a bonded device, and may also fix problems with spanning tree failover. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-03-20	[BRIDGE]: Remove duplicate const from is_link_local() argument type.	Andrew Morton	1	-1/+1

2006-03-20	[BRIDGE]: allow show/store of group multicast address	Stephen Hemminger	1	-3/+4
	Bridge's communicate with each other using Spanning Tree Protocol over a standard multicast address. There are times when testing or layering bridges over existing topologies or tunnels, when it is useful to use alternative multicast addresses for STP packets. The 802.1d standard has some unused addresses, that can be used for this. This patch is restrictive in that it only allows one of the possible addresses in the standard.

2006-03-20	[BRIDGE]: use llc for receiving STP packets	Stephen Hemminger	1	-9/+23
	Use LLC for the receive path of Spanning Tree Protocol packets. This allows link local multicast packets to be received by other protocols (if they care), and uses the existing LLC code to get STP packets back into bridge code. The bridge multicast address is also checked, so bridges using other link local multicast addresses are ignored. This allows for use of different multicast addresses to define separate STP domains.

2006-03-20	[BRIDGE]: optimize frame pass up	Stephen Hemminger	1	-7/+1
	The netfilter hook that is used to receive frames doesn't need to be a stub. It is only called in two ways, both of which ignore the return value. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-02-09	[BRIDGE]: fix for RCU and deadlock on device removal	Stephen Hemminger	1	-7/+12
	Change Bridge receive path to correctly handle RCU removal of device from bridge. Also fixes deadlock between carrier_check and del_nbp. This replaces the previous deleted flag fix. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-01-06	[NET]: Use newer is_multicast_ether_addr() in some files	Kris Katterjohn	1	-1/+1
	This uses is_multicast_ether_addr() because it has recently been changed to do the same thing these seperate tests are doing. Signed-off-by: Kris Katterjohn <kjak@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-01-03	[BRIDGE]: filter packets in learning state	Stephen Hemminger	1	-4/+7
	While in the learning state, run filters but drop the result. This prevents us from acquiring bad fdb entries in learning state. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-10-31	[BRIDGE]: Use ether_compare	Stephen Hemminger	1	-1/+1
	Use compare_ether_addr in bridge code. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>
2005-06-21	[NETFILTER]: Kill nf_debug	Patrick McHardy	1	-4/+0

2005-05-29	[BRIDGE]: receive path optimization	Stephen Hemminger	1	-1/+1
	This improves the bridge local receive path by avoiding going through another softirq. The bridge receive path is already being called from a netif_receive_skb() there is no point in going through another receiveq round trip. Recursion is limited because bridge can never be a port of a bridge so handle_bridge() always returns. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-05-29	[BRIDGE]: prevent bad forwarding table updates	Stephen Hemminger	1	-2/+4
	Avoid poisoning of the bridge forwarding table by frames that have been dropped by filtering. This prevents spoofed source addresses on hostile side of bridge from causing packet leakage, a small but possible security risk.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+144
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
