[BRIDGE]: receive path optimization

2005-05-29T21:16:48+00:00

This improves the bridge local receive path by avoiding going through another softirq. The bridge receive path is already being called from a netif_receive_skb() there is no point in going through another receiveq round trip. Recursion is limited because bridge can never be a port of a bridge so handle_bridge() always returns. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[BRIDGE]: prevent bad forwarding table updates

2005-05-29T21:15:55+00:00

Avoid poisoning of the bridge forwarding table by frames that have been dropped by filtering. This prevents spoofed source addresses on hostile side of bridge from causing packet leakage, a small but possible security risk. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[BRIDGE]: set features based on enslaved devices

2005-05-29T21:15:17+00:00

Make features of the bridge pseudo-device be a subset of the underlying devices. Motivated by Xen and others who use bridging to do failover. Signed-off-by: Catalin BOIE Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] kobject/hotplug split - net bridge

2005-04-19T04:57:37+00:00

kobject_add() and kobject_del() don't emit hotplug events anymore. We need to do it ourselves now. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

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!
