2006-03-24	[BRIDGE]: Unaligned accesses in the ethernet bridge	Peter Chubb	1	-2/+3
	I see lots of kernel unaligned access to 0xa0000001009dbb6f, ip=0xa000000100811591 kernel unaligned access to 0xa0000001009dbb6b, ip=0xa0000001008115c1 kernel unaligned access to 0xa0000001009dbb6d, ip=0xa0000001008115f1 messages in my logs on IA64 when using the ethernet bridge with 2.6.16. Appended is a patch to fix them. Signed-off-by: Peter Chubb <peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au> Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20	[BRIDGE]: use LLC to send STP	Stephen Hemminger	1	-69/+59
	The bridge code can use existing LLC output code when building spanning tree protocol packets. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20	[BRIDGE]: allow show/store of group multicast address	Stephen Hemminger	1	-2/+2
	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	-18/+33
	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]: stp timer to jiffies cleanup	Stephen Hemminger	1	-9/+8
	Cleanup the get/set of bridge timer value in the packets. It is clearer not to bury the conversion in macro. 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	-12/+18
	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>
2005-05-29	[BRIDGE]: prevent bad forwarding table updates	Stephen Hemminger	1	-0/+3
	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/+205
	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!
