38231b7a8d tun: Make tun_net_xmit atomic wrt tun_attach && tun_detach
Currently this small race allows for a packet to be received when we
detach from an tun device and still be enqueued.  Not especially
important but not what the code is trying to do.

36b50bab53 tun: Grab the netns in open.
Grabbing namespaces in open, and putting them in close always seems to
be the cleanest approach with the fewest surprises.

So now that we have tun_file so we have somepleace to put the network
namespace, let's grab the network namespace on file open and put on
file close.

631ab46b79 tun: Introduce tun_file
Currently the tun code suffers from only having a single word of
data that exists for the entire life of the tun file descriptor.

This results in peculiar holding of references to the network namespace
as well as races between free_netdevice and tun_chr_close.

Fix this by introducing tun_file which will hold the per file state.
For the moment it still holds just a single word so the differences
are all logic changes with no changes in semantics.

a7385ba211 tun: Fix races in tun_set_iff
It is possible for two different tasks with access to the same file
descriptor to call tun_set_iff on it at the same time and race to
attach to a tap device.  Prevent this by placing all of the logic to
attach to a file descriptor in one function and testing the file
descriptor to be certain it is not already attached to another tun
device.

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that

So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

f271b2cc78 tun: Fix/rewrite packet filtering logic
Please see the following thread to get some context on this
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121564433018903&w=2

Basically the issue is that current multi-cast filtering stuff in
the TUN/TAP driver is seriously broken.
Original patch went in without proper review and ACK. It was broken and
confusing to start with and subsequent patches broke it completely.
To give you an idea of what's broken here are some of the issues:

- Very confusing comments throughout the code that imply that the
character device is a network interface in its own right, and that packets
are passed between the two nics. Which is completely wrong.

- Wrong set of ioctls is used for setting up filters. They look like
shortcuts for manipulating state of the tun/tap network interface but
in reality manipulate the state of the TX filter.

- ioctls that were originally used for setting address of the the TX filter
got "fixed" and now set the address of the network interface itself. Which
made filter totaly useless.

- Filtering is done too late. Instead of filtering early on, to avoid
unnecessary wakeups, filtering is done in the read() call.

The list goes on and on :)

So the patch cleans all that up. It introduces simple and clean interface for
setting up TX filters (TUNSETTXFILTER + tun_filter spec) and does filtering
before enqueuing the packets.

TX filtering is useful in the scenarios where TAP is part of a bridge, in
which case it gets all broadcast, multicast and potentially other packets when
the bridge is learning. So for example Ethernet tunnelling app may want to
setup TX filters to avoid tunnelling multicast traffic. QEMU and other
hypervisors can push RX filtering that is currently done in the guest into the
host context therefore saving wakeups and unnecessary data transfer.

e35259a953 tun: Persistent devices can get stuck in xoff state
The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap.
TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue().
App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup.
Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but
the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But
in the case of persistent devices this happens only during
initial setup.

The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens
it we clear xoff state and that gets things moving again.

07240fd090 tun: Interface to query tun/tap features.
The problem with introducing checksum offload and gso to tun is they
need to set dev->features to enable GSO and/or checksumming, which is
supposed to be done before register_netdevice(), ie. as part of
TUNSETIFF.

Unfortunately, TUNSETIFF has always just ignored flags it doesn't
understand, so there's no good way of detecting whether the kernel
supports new IFF_ flags.

This patch implements a TUNGETFEATURES ioctl which returns all the valid IFF
flags.  It could be extended later to include other features.

Here's an example program which uses it:

#include <linux/if_tun.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static struct {
	unsigned int flag;
	const char *name;
} known_flags[] = {
	{ IFF_TUN, "TUN" },
	{ IFF_TAP, "TAP" },
	{ IFF_NO_PI, "NO_PI" },
	{ IFF_ONE_QUEUE, "ONE_QUEUE" },
};

int main()
{
	unsigned int features, i;

	int netfd = open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR);
	if (netfd < 0)
		err(1, "Opening /dev/net/tun");

	if (ioctl(netfd, TUNGETFEATURES, &features) != 0) {
		printf("Kernel does not support TUNGETFEATURES, guessing\n");
		features = (IFF_TUN|IFF_TAP|IFF_NO_PI|IFF_ONE_QUEUE);
	}
	printf("Available features are: ");
	for (i = 0; i < sizeof(known_flags)/sizeof(known_flags[0]); i++) {
		if (features & known_flags[i].flag) {
			features &= ~known_flags[i].flag;
			printf("%s ", known_flags[i].name);
		}
	}
	if (features)
		printf("(UNKNOWN %#x)", features);
	printf("\n");
	return 0;
}

fc54c65853 [TUN]: Allow to register tun devices in namespace.
This is basically means that a net is set for a new device, but
actually also involves two more steps:

1. mark the tun device as "local", i.e. do not allow for it to
   move across namespaces.

This is done so, since tun device is most often associated to some
file (and thus to some process) and moving the device alone is not
valid while keeping the file and the process outside. The need in 
ability to move a detached persistent device is to be investigated 
later.

2. get the tun device's net when tun becomes attached and put one
   when it becomes detached.

This is needed to handle the case when a task owning the tun dies,
but a files lives for some more time - in this case we must not
allow for net to be freed, since its exit hook will spoil that file's
private data by unregistering the tun from under tun_chr_close.

a26af1e08a tun: impossible to deassert IFF_ONE_QUEUE or IFF_NO_PI
From: "Nathaniel Filardo" <nwfilardo@gmail.com>

Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9806

The TUN/TAP driver only permits one-way transitions of IFF_NO_PI or
IFF_ONE_QUEUE during the lifetime of a tap/tun interface.  Note that
tun_set_iff contains

 541         if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_NO_PI)
 542                 tun->flags |= TUN_NO_PI;
 543 
 544         if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_ONE_QUEUE)
 545                 tun->flags |= TUN_ONE_QUEUE;

This is easily fixed by adding else branches which clear these bits.

Steps to reproduce:

This is easily reproduced by setting an interface persistant using tunctl then
attempting to open it as IFF_TAP or IFF_TUN, without asserting the IFF_NO_PI
flag.  The ioctl() will succeed and the ifr.flags word is not modified, but the
interface remains in IFF_NO_PI mode (as it was set by tunctl).

09f75cd7bf [NET] drivers/net: statistics cleanup #1 -- save memory and shrink code
We now have struct net_device_stats embedded in struct net_device,
and the default ->get_stats() hook does the obvious thing for us.

Run through drivers/net/* and remove the driver-local storage of
statistics, and driver-local ->get_stats() hook where applicable.

This was just the low-hanging fruit in drivers/net; plenty more drivers
remain to be updated.

881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

36226a8ded [NET] tun/tap: fixed hw address handling
Fixed tun/tap driver's handling of hw addresses.  The hw address is stored
in both the net_device.dev_addr and tun.dev_addr fields.  These fields were
not kept synchronized, and in fact weren't even initialized to the same
value.  Now during both init and when performing SIOCSIFHWADDR on the tun
device these values are both updated.  However, if SIOCSIFHWADDR is
performed on the net device directly (for instance, setting the hw address
using ifconfig), the tun device does not get updated.  Perhaps the
tun.dev_addr field should be removed completely at some point, as it is
redundant and net_device.dev_addr can be used anywhere it is used.

The tuntap driver allows an admin to create persistent devices and
assign ownership of them to individual users. Unfortunately, relaxing
the permissions on the /dev/net/tun device node so that they can
actually use those devices will _also_ allow those users to create
arbitrary new devices of their own. This patch corrects that, and
adjusts the recommended permissions for the device node accordingly.

b03efcfb21 [NET]: Transform skb_queue_len() binary tests into skb_queue_empty()
This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.

Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.
