2011-04-05bridge: range check STP parametersstephen hemminger
Apply restrictions on STP parameters based 802.1D 1998 standard. * Fixes missing locking in set path cost ioctl * Uses common code for both ioctl and sysfs This is based on an earlier patch Sasikanth V but with overhaul. Note: 1. It does NOT enforce the restriction on the relationship max_age and forward delay or hello time because in existing implementation these are set as independant operations. 2. If STP is disabled, there is no restriction on forward delay 3. No restriction on holding time because users use Linux code to act as hub or be sticky. 4. Although standard allow 0-255, Linux only allows 0-63 for port priority because more bits are reserved for port number.

2011-03-28bridge: notify applications if address of bridge device changesstephen hemminger
The mac address of the bridge device may be changed when a new interface is added to the bridge. If this happens, then the bridge needs to call the network notifiers to tickle any other systems that care. Since bridge can be a module, this also means exporting the notifier function.

2010-05-16bridge: change console message interfacestephen hemminger
Use one set of macro's for all bridge messages. Note: can't use netdev_XXX macro's because bridge is purely virtual and has no device parent. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-06-17bridge: make bridge address settings stickyStephen Hemminger
Normally, the bridge just chooses the smallest mac address as the bridge id and mac address of bridge device. But if the administrator has explictly set the interface address then don't change it.

2007-07-18usermodehelper: Tidy up waitingJeremy Fitzhardinge
Rather than using a tri-state integer for the wait flag in call_usermodehelper_exec, define a proper enum, and use that. I've preserved the integer values so that any callers I've missed should still work OK.

2007-04-26bridge: change when netlink events go to STPStephen Hemminger

2007-04-26bridge: add support for user mode STPStephen Hemminger
This patchset based on work by Aji_Srinivas@emc.com provides allows spanning tree to be controled from userspace. Like hotplug, it uses call_usermodehelper when spanning tree is enabled so there is no visible API change. If call to start usermode STP fails it falls back to existing kernel STP.

2007-04-17[BRIDGE]: Unaligned access when comparing ethernet addressesEvgeny Kravtsunov
compare_ether_addr() implicitly requires that the addresses passed are 2-bytes aligned in memory. This is not true for br_stp_change_bridge_id() and br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id() in which one of the addresses is unsigned char *, and thus may not be 2-bytes aligned.

2006-06-18[BRIDGE]: netlink interface for link managementStephen Hemminger
Add basic netlink support to the Ethernet bridge. Including: * dump interfaces in bridges * monitor link status changes * change state of bridge port For some demo programs see: http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/prototypes/brnl.tar.gz These are to allow building a daemon that does alternative implementations of Spanning Tree Protocol.

2006-01-03[BRIDGE]: Fix faulty check in br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id()Stephen Hemminger

2006-01-03[BRIDGE]: allow setting hardware address of bridge pseudo-devStephen Hemminger
Some people are using bridging to hide multiple machines from an ISP that restricts by MAC address. So in that case allow the bridge mac address to be set to any of the existing interfaces.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
