Even if we create a stacked vlan interface such as veth0.10.20, it sends single tagged frames (tagged with only vid 10). Because vlan_features of a veth interface has the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_[CTAG/STAG]_TX bits, veth0.10 also has that feature, so dev_hard_start_xmit(veth0.10) doesn't call __vlan_put_tag() and vlan_dev_hard_start_xmit(veth0.10) overwrites vlan_tci. This prevents us from using a combination of 802.1ad and 802.1Q in containers, etc. Signed-off-by:

In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we must explicitly initialize any locks. The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize the structure. This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes this worth while. Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with the seqcount lockdep enablement. Feedback would be appreciated! Signed-off-by:

This patch removes an unused parameter (src_net) from rtnl_create_link() method and from the method single invocation, in veth. This parameter was used in the past when calling ops->get_tx_queues(src_net, tb) in rtnl_create_link(). The get_tx_queues() member of rtnl_link_ops was replaced by two methods, get_num_tx_queues() and get_num_rx_queues(), which do not get any parameter. This was done in commit d40156aa by Jiri Pirko ("rtnl: allow to specify different num for rx and tx queue count"). Signed-off-by:

The ifinfomsg is in there (thanks kaber@ for foreseeing this long time ago), so take the given ifidex and register netdev with it. Ben noticed, that this code path previously ignored ifmp->ifi_index and userland could be passing in garbage. Thus it may now fail occasionally because the value clashes with an existing interface. To address this it's assumed that if the caller specifies the ifindex for the veth master device, then it's aware of this possibility and should explicitly specify (or set to 0 for auto-assignment) the peer's ifindex as well. With this the compatibility with old tools not setting ifindex is preserved. Signed-off-by:

This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation. All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been updated. Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work Signed-off-by:

Commit 44540960 "veth: move loopback logic to common location" introduced a bug in the packet counters. I don't understand why that happened as it is not explained in the comments and the mut check in dev_forward_skb retains the assumption that skb->len is the total length of the packet. I just measured this emperically by setting up a veth pair between two noop network namespaces setting and attempting a telnet connection between the two. I saw three packets in each direction and the byte counters were exactly 14*3 = 42 bytes high in each direction. I got the actual packet lengths with tcpdump. So remove the extra ETH_HLEN from the veth byte count totals. Signed-off-by:
