Daniel Borkmann 207895fd38 net: mark some potential candidates __read_mostly
They are all either written once or extremly rarely (e.g. from init
code), so we can move them to the .data..read_mostly section.

Mahesh Bandewar 2aab9525c3 ipvlan: fix incorrect usage of IS_ERR() macro in IPv6 code path.
The ip6_route_output() always returns a valid dst pointer unlike in IPv4
case. So the validation has to be different from the IPv4 path. Correcting
that error in this patch.

This was picked up by a static checker with a following warning -

   drivers/net/ipvlan/ipvlan_core.c:380 ipvlan_process_v6_outbound()
        warn: 'dst' isn't an ERR_PTR

Mahesh Bandewar 5933fea7aa ipvlan: move the device check function into netdevice.h
Move the port check [ipvlan_dev_master()] and device check
[ipvlan_dev_slave()] functions to netdevice.h and rename them
netif_is_ipvlan_port() and netif_is_ipvlan() resp. to be
consistent with macvlan api naming.

Mahesh Bandewar 764e433b3c ipvlan: play well with macvlan device
If a device is already a macvlan port then refuse to use it as
an ipvlan port in the early stage of port creation.

Markus Elfring 04901cea21 net-ipvlan: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "free_percpu"
The free_percpu() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Mahesh Bandewar 265de6d19c ipvlan: ipvlan depends on INET and IPV6
This driver uses ip_out_local() and ip6_route_output() which are
defined only if CONFIG_INET and CONFIG_IPV6 are enabled respectively.

Mahesh Bandewar 2ad7bf3638 ipvlan: Initial check-in of the IPVLAN driver.
This driver is very similar to the macvlan driver except that it
uses L3 on the frame to determine the logical interface while
functioning as packet dispatcher. It inherits L2 of the master
device hence the packets on wire will have the same L2 for all
the packets originating from all virtual devices off of the same
master device.

This driver was developed keeping the namespace use-case in
mind. Hence most of the examples given here take that as the
base setup where main-device belongs to the default-ns and
virtual devices are assigned to the additional namespaces.

The device operates in two different modes and the difference
in these two modes in primarily in the TX side.

(a) L2 mode : In this mode, the device behaves as a L2 device.
TX processing upto L2 happens on the stack of the virtual device
associated with (namespace). Packets are switched after that
into the main device (default-ns) and queued for xmit.

RX processing is simple and all multicast, broadcast (if
applicable), and unicast belonging to the address(es) are
delivered to the virtual devices.

(b) L3 mode : In this mode, the device behaves like a L3 device.
TX processing upto L3 happens on the stack of the virtual device
associated with (namespace). Packets are switched to the
main-device (default-ns) for the L2 processing. Hence the routing
table of the default-ns will be used in this mode.

RX processins is somewhat similar to the L2 mode except that in
this mode only Unicast packets are delivered to the virtual device
while main-dev will handle all other packets.

The devices can be added using the "ip" command from the iproute2
package -

	ip link add link <master> <virtual> type ipvlan mode [ l2 | l3 ]
