2007-10-10	[NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe	Eric W. Biederman	1	-0/+4
	Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25	bridge: change when netlink events go to STP	Stephen Hemminger	1	-4/+9
	Need to tell STP daemon about more events, like any time a device is added even when it is down. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
2007-02-26	[BRIDGE]: eliminate workqueue for carrier check	Stephen Hemminger	1	-14/+11
	Having a work queue for checking carrier leads to lots of race issues. Simpler to just get the cost when data structure is created and update on change. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-06-17	[BRIDGE]: netlink interface for link management	Stephen Hemminger	1	-0/+2
	Add basic netlink support to the Ethernet bridge. Including: * dump interfaces in bridges * monitor link status changes * change state of bridge port For some demo programs see: http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/prototypes/brnl.tar.gz These are to allow building a daemon that does alternative implementations of Spanning Tree Protocol.

2006-01-03	[BRIDGE]: handle speed detection after carrier changes	Stephen Hemminger	1	-11/+3
	Speed of a interface may not be available until carrier is detected in the case of autonegotiation. To get the correct value we need to recheck speed after carrier event. But the check needs to be done in a context that is similar to normal ethtool interface (can sleep). Also, delay check for 1ms to try avoid any carrier bounce transitions.

2005-05-29	[BRIDGE]: set features based on enslaved devices	Stephen Hemminger	1	-0/+9
	Make features of the bridge pseudo-device be a subset of the underlying devices. Motivated by Xen and others who use bridging to do failover.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+87
	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!
