[BRIDGE]: Round off STP perodic timers.

2007-05-31T08:23:39+00:00

Peroidic STP timers don't have to be exact.  The hold timer runs at
1HZ, and the hello timer normally runs at 2HZ; save power by aligning
it them to next second.

[BRIDGE]: Reduce frequency of forwarding cleanup timer in bridge.

2007-05-31T08:23:38+00:00

The bridge cleanup timer is fired 10 times a second for timers that
are at least 15 seconds ahead in time and that are not critical to be
cleaned asap.

This patch calculates the next time to run the timer as the minimum of
all timers or a minimum based on the current state.

header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used

2007-05-08T18:15:07+00:00

Remove includes of  where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

[NET]: Rework dev_base via list_head (v3)

2007-05-03T22:13:45+00:00

Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device
list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable
and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev
loop. A few most complicated places were converted to using
first_netdev()/next_netdev().

[BRIDGE]: Missing rtnl.

2007-04-26T05:30:04+00:00

Writing to /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/stp_state causes a warning because
RTNL is not held when call br_stp_if.c

[BRIDGE]: if no STP then forward all BPDUs

2007-04-26T05:30:02+00:00

If a bridge is not running STP, then it has no way to detect a cycle
in the network. But if it is not running STP and some other machine
or device is running STP, then if STP BPDU's get forwarded to it can
detect the cycle.

This is how the old 2.4 and early 2.6 code worked.

[BRIDGE]: drop PAUSE frames

2007-04-26T05:30:01+00:00

Pause frames should never make it out of the network device into
the stack. But if a device was misconfigured, it might happen.
So drop pause frames in bridge.

[BRIDGE]: don't change packet type

2007-04-26T05:30:00+00:00

The change to forward STP bpdu's (for usermode STP) through normal path,
changed the packet type in the process. Since link local stuff is multicast, it
should stay pkt_type = PACKET_MULTICAST.  The code was probably copy/pasted
incorrectly from the bridge pseudo-device receive path.
