* macvtap mode private - IFF_PROMISC flag visibility for userspace
From: Christian Benvenuti (benve) @ 2011-09-15 21:56 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netdev; +Cc: mst, Roopa Prabhu (roprabhu), David Wang (dwang2)
When you use/create a macvtap interface in passthrou mode, the lowerdev
is put
into promiscuous mode (NOTE: this may change if/once Roopa's rx_filter
changes
get merged - http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg174245.html).
However, macvtap also puts the lowerdev into promiscuous mode when
- mode is "macvtap private"
AND
- the lowerdev does not support ndo_set_rx_mode
This would be the codepath in the latter case:
macvlan_open
|
+--> dev_uc_add
|
+--> __dev_set_rx_mode
|
+--> if (!ndo_set_rx_mode)
__dev_set_promiscuity
The difference between the two cases above (passthru vs private) however
is that the status of IFF_PROMISC is not exported the same way to user
space:
In the second case (private) dev_get_flags does not return the
IFF_PROMISC flag.
This means that, for example, neither 'ifconfig' nor 'ip link' show that
the
lowerdev is in promisc mode. This does not help throubleshooting.
Yes, the kernel generates a log message when it changes the promiscuity
mode
of the card, but...
Yes, you can check whether IFF_PROMISC is set or not by looking at
/sys/class/net/<dev_name>/flags
but I can't see why dev_get_flags should not return it too.
Right now dev_get_flags returns IFF_PROMISC only if it set in
dev->gflags, ie it
ignores dev->flags & IFF_PROMISC.
Is this the expected behavior by design?

* pull request: wireless 2011-09-15
From: John W. Linville @ 2011-09-15 19:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: davem; +Cc: linux-wireless, netdev, linux-kernel
Dave,
Here is a batch of fixes intended for 3.1. Included is a calibration
fix for ath9k that avoids a hang, a couple of rtlwifi fixes for
connection failures, a mac80211 locking fix, a couple of iwlagn fixes
(including a corruption fix), an ath9k oops fix, an initialization
fix for AR9330 hardware in ath9k, and a patch to avoid a needless
BUG_ON in iwlegacy.
Please let me know if there are problems!
Thanks,
John

Applied, but as Joe Perches stated patch #8 claimed it just was
"code movement" but a test in the code was changed. Please don't
do that again.

I originally said that I'd want these targetted for net-next instead,
but I've changed my mind and decided to indeed apply these changes to
the net GIT tree, thanks.
