Modify sunvnet common code and data structures to be compatible
with both sunvnet and ldmvsw drivers.
Details:
Sunvnet operates on "vnet-port" nodes which appear in the Machine
Description (MD) in a guest domain. Ldmvsw operates on "vsw-port"
nodes which appear in the MD of a service domain.
A difference between the sunvnet driver and the ldmvsw driver is
the sunvnet driver creates a network interface (i.e. a struct net_device)
for every vnet-port *parent* "network" node. Several vnet-ports may appear
under this common parent network node - each corresponding to a common parent
network interface. Conversely, since bridge/vswitch software will need
to interface with every vsw-port in a system, the ldmvsw driver creates
a network interface (i.e. a struct net_device) for every vsw-port - not
every parent node as with sunvnet. This difference required some special
handling in the common code as explained below.
There are 2 key data structures used by the sunvnet and ldmvsw drivers
(which are now found in sunvnet_common.h):
1. struct vnet_port
This structure represents a vnet-port node in sunvnet and a vsw-port
in the ldmvsw driver.
2. struct vnet
This structure represents a parent "network" node in sunvnet and a parent
"virtual-network-switch" node in ldmvsw.
Since the sunvnet driver allocates a net_device for every parent "network"
node, a net_device member appears in the struct vnet. Since the ldmvsw
driver allocates a net_device for every port, a net_device member was
added to the vnet_port. The common code distinguishes which structure
net_device member to use by checking a 'vsw' bit that was added to the
vnet_port structure. See the VNET_PORT_TO_NET_DEVICE() marco in
sunvnet_common.h.
The netdev_priv() in sunvnet is allocated as a vnet. The netdev_priv()
in ldmvsw is a vnet_port. Therefore, any place in the common code
where a netdev_priv() call was made, a wrapper function was implemented
in each driver to first get the vnet and/or vnet_port (in a driver
specific way) and pass them as newly added parameters to the common
functions (see wrapper funcs: vnet_set_rx_mode() and vnet_poll_controller()).
Since these wrapper functions call __tx_port_find(), __tx_port_find() was
moved from the common code back into sunvnet.c. Note - ldmvsw.c does not
require this function.
These changes also required that port_is_up() be made
into a common function and thus it was given a _common suffix and
exported like the other common functions.
A wrapper function was also added for vnet_start_xmit_common() to pass a
driver-specific function arg to return the port associated with a given
struct sk_buff and struct net_device. This was required because
vnet_start_xmit_common() grabs a lock prior to getting the associated
port. Using a function pointer arg allowed the code to work unchanged
without risking changes to the non-trivial locking logic in
vnet_start_xmit_common().
