2013-09-20garp.h: Remove extern from function prototypesJoe Perches
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

2011-05-12garp: remove last synchronize_rcu() callEric Dumazet
When removing last vlan from a device, garp_uninit_applicant() calls synchronize_rcu() to make sure no user can still manipulate struct garp_applicant before we free it. Use call_rcu() instead, as a step to further net_device dismantle optimizations. Add the temporary garp_cleanup_module() function to make sure no pending call_rcu() are left at module unload time [ this will be removed when kfree_rcu() is available ] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-05-09garp: remove one synchronize_rcu() callEric Dumazet
Speedup vlan dismantling in CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_GVRP=y cases, by using a call_rcu() to free the memory instead of waiting with expensive synchronize_rcu() [ while RTNL is held ] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Cc: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Cc: Paul E.

2010-10-25net/802: add __rcu annotationsEric Dumazet
(struct net_device)->garp_port is rcu protected : (struct garp_port)->applicants is rcu protected : add __rcu annotation and proper rcu primitives. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-06vlan: Add GVRP supportPatrick McHardy
Add GVRP support for dynamically registering VLANs with switches. By default GVRP is disabled because we only support the applicant-only participant model, which means it should not be enabled on vlans that are members of a bridge. Since there is currently no way to cleanly determine that, the user is responsible for enabling it. The code is pretty small and low impact, its wrapped in a config option though because it depends on the GARP implementation and the STP core.

2008-07-06net: Add GARP applicant-only participantPatrick McHardy
Add an implementation of the GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) applicant-only participant. This will be used by the following patch to add GVRP support to the VLAN code. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
