2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman
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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-03[NET]: Rework dev_base via list_head (v3)Pavel Emelianov
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().

2007-05-03[AFS]: Adjust the new netdevice scanning codeDavid Howells
Adjust the new netdevice scanning code provided by Patrick McHardy: (1) Restore the function banner comments that were dropped. (2) Rather than using an array size of 6 in some places and an array size of ETH_ALEN in others, pass a pointer instead and pass the array size through so that we can actually check it. (3) Do the buffer fill count check before checking the for_primary_ifa condition again. This permits us to skip that check should maxbufs be reached before we run out of interfaces.

2007-05-03[AFS]: Replace rtnetlink client by direct dev_base walkingPatrick McHardy
Replace the large and complicated rtnetlink client by two simple functions for getting the MAC address for the first ethernet device and building a list of IPv4 addresses.
