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.

Now there are 2 paths for rx vlan frames. When rx-vlan-hw-accel is
enabled, skb is untagged by NIC, vlan_tci is set and the skb gets into
vlan code in __netif_receive_skb - vlan_hwaccel_do_receive.

For non-rx-vlan-hw-accel however, tagged skb goes thru whole
__netif_receive_skb, it's untagged in ptype_base hander and reinjected

This incosistency is fixed by this patch. Vlan untagging happens early in
__netif_receive_skb so the rest of code (ptype_all handlers, rx_handlers)
see the skb like it was untagged by hw.

caf586e5f23cebb2a68cbaf288d59dbbf2d74052 30-Sep-2010 Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counter

In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
drop it before it enters protocol stack :
- softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
- bad vlan tag (not accounted)
- unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)

We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)

This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped
accounting), thus reverting it.

With multi queue devices, its possible that several cpus call
vlan RX routines simultaneously for the same vlan device.

We update RX stats counter without any locking, so we can
get slightly wrong counters.

One possible fix is to use percpu counters, to get precise
accounting and also get guarantee of no cache line ping pongs
between cpus.

Note: this adds 16 bytes (32 bytes on 64bit arches) of percpu
data per vlan device.

We currently use a 16 bit field (vlan_tci) to store VLAN ID/PRIO on a skb.

Null value is used as a special value, meaning vlan tagging not enabled.
This forbids use of null vlan ID.

As pointed by David, some drivers use the 3 high order bits (PRIO)

As VLAN ID is 12 bits, we can use the remaining bit (CFI) as a flag, and
allow null VLAN ID.

In case future code really wants to use VLAN_CFI_MASK, we'll have to use
a bit outside of vlan_tci.

#define VLAN_PRIO_MASK 0xe000 /* Priority Code Point */
#define VLAN_PRIO_SHIFT 13
#define VLAN_CFI_MASK 0x1000 /* Canonical Format Indicator */
#define VLAN_TAG_PRESENT VLAN_CFI_MASK
#define VLAN_VID_MASK 0x0fff /* VLAN Identifier */

By default GVRP is disabled because we only support the applicant-only

determine that, the user is responsible for enabling it.

Since hardware header operations are part of the protocol class
not the device instance, make them into a separate object and
save memory.

The set_multicast_list function may be called without holding the rtnl
mutex, resulting in races when changing the underlying device's promiscous
and allmulti state. Use the change_rx_mode hook, which is always invoked
under the rtnl.

8c979c26a0f093c13290320edda799d8335e50ae 12-Jul-2007 Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> [VLAN]: Fix MAC address handling

The VLAN MAC address handling is broken in multiple ways. When the address
differs when setting it, the real device is put in promiscous mode twice,
but never taken out again. Additionally it doesn't resync when the real
device's address is changed and needlessly puts it in promiscous mode when
the vlan device is still down.

Fix by moving address handling to vlan_dev_open/vlan_dev_stop and properly
deal with address changes in the device notifier. Also switch to
dev_unicast_add (which needs the exact same handling).

Since the set_mac_address handler is identical to the generic ethernet one
with these changes, kill it and use ether_setup().

c17d8874f9959070552fddf1b4e1d73c0c144c0f 13-Jun-2007 Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> [VLAN]: Convert name-based configuration functions to struct netdevice *

Move the device lookup and checks to the ioctl handler under the RTNL and
change all name-based interfaces to take a struct net_device * instead.

This allows to use them from a netlink interface, which identifies devices
based on ifindex not name. It also avoids races between the ioctl interface
and the (upcoming) netlink interface since now all changes happen under the
RTNL.

As a nice side effect this greatly simplifies error handling in the helper
functions and fixes a number of incorrect error codes like -EINVAL for
device not found.

Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond()
decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original
device into packet_type->func() as an argument.

It remains to be seen whether we can use this same
exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well.

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!
