The documentation is not quite done yet, I'll finish it when I find some spare time. Changes since the last post: - fix attribute parsing after module load - fix module aliases - refuse all unsupported options on device creation - turn xstats_size into a function to calculate the size since it turned out not to be flexible enough for my multiqueue simulator device - use const and __read_mostly where possible - rename IFLA_INFO_NAME to IFLA_INFO_KIND VLAN: - remove broken VLAN_MASK patch - support REORDER_HDR flag - support setting initial MTU The patches are against net-2.6, but AFAICS the only thing in net-2.6.23 conflicting with them is the previous series. Please apply/replace, thanks :) drivers/net/dummy.c | 145 ++++++++---- drivers/net/ifb.c | 116 +++++++--- include/linux/if_link.h | 47 ++++ include/linux/if_vlan.h | 11 include/linux/netdevice.h | 5 include/net/rtnetlink.h | 58 +++++ net/8021q/Makefile | 2 net/8021q/vlan.c | 525 +++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------- net/8021q/vlan.h | 23 +- net/8021q/vlan_dev.c | 182 +++++---------- net/8021q/vlan_netlink.c | 236 ++++++++++++++++++++ net/8021q/vlanproc.c | 4 net/core/rtnetlink.c | 447 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 13 files changed, 1271 insertions(+), 530 deletions(-) Patrick McHardy (18): [NET]: Mark struct net_device * argument to netdev_priv const [RTNETLINK]: Split up rtnl_setlink [RTNETLINK]: Link creation API [DUMMY]: Use dev->stats [DUMMY]: Keep dummy devices on list [DUMMY]: Use rtnl_link API [IFB]: Keep ifb devices on list [IFB]: Use rtnl_link API [VLAN]: Convert name-based configuration functions to struct netdevice * [VLAN]: Move some device intialization code to dev->init callback [VLAN]: Move vlan_group allocation to seperate function [VLAN]: Split up device checks [VLAN]: Move device registation to seperate function [VLAN]: Return proper error codes in register_vlan_device [VLAN]: Use 32 bit value for skb->priority mapping [VLAN]: Keep track of number of QoS mappings [VLAN]: Introduce symbolic constants for flag values [VLAN]: Use rtnl_link API
