From: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com>

What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for
macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single
hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no
sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device.

Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register
an rx_handler for needed net device.

v3->v4 
       - only one hook per device.
v2->v3
	- used GPL-ed exports
v1->v2
	- writers are locked by rtnl_lock (removed unnecessary spinlock)
	- using call_rcu in unregister
	- nicer macvlan_port_create cleanup
	- struct rx_hanler is made const in funtion parameters

Actually, I'm not happy about this (reducing to only one hook) and for two
reasons:

1) I think it's a good behaviour to "mask" one handler by another in case device
is for example used for macvlan and then added to bridge. Because when it's
again removed from the bridge, the original functionality is restored. And also,
this would be consistent with the current behaviour.

2) I would imagine a situation, when multiple handers are needed in cascade.
Actually I'm working on a virtual device draft which uses two handlers, although
in corner situation.

Regards,
	Jirka

I don't like it because:

1) Adding macvlan to bridge makes no sense. The bridge is already in promicious mode.

2) I don't like to see functionality added when it is not needed.

3) The extra overhead of traversing list causes more cache activity in extreme
   hot path.

Wait and add the multiple handlers when your code is included.

I think the idea of this is really good, and it has been long required to get rid of the bridging hook and the "hack" for macvlan to get into the network stack. 

However, I wonder, if this is to be used as a generic interface, then why the restriction of only having a single hook per device? Yes, it makes sense to do this for the bridge/macvlan combination, but in general there could be other cases where you would want to allow multiple receivers per device.

What happens with 'ret' here? It is completely ignored, isn't it? Because you assume that there is only a single receiver per device? I think it would be much better to have return codes that indicate whether a packet has been consumed by a receive handler, or whether it is supposed to be processed further. The same actually applies for the packet handlers that are processed a bit further down in netif_receive_skb() - the return code is ignored and so a handler has no control over further processing of the packet.

Yes, it makes sense to do this for the bridge/macvlan combination, but in general there could be other cases where you would want to allow multiple receivers per device. 

Right, I agree.

It's not ignored. it's returned at the end of the function __netif_receive_skb.

Right, I'm not saying it has sense to have it together in the same moment. But
you can to this:

# ip link add link eth0 type macvlan

You can use eth0 + macvlan0. Now you do:

# brctl addif br0 eth0

Direct use of eth0 and macvlan0 is not not possible now.

# brctl delif br0 eth0

Now the original functionality ot eth0 and macvlan0 is restored.

But ok, I hear your arguments, I thought about them myself before I did the
patch and I thought that added overhead (which is not too big, I see one more
dereference, rx_handler pointer) would be acceptible.

Maybe someone other then us has opinion too :)

Few nitpicks, I'm going to send patch reflecting this later.

Why not to use rcu_assign_pointer here? since this is not hot path, that would be
nicer. It should be done for rcu-protected pointers (see rcu_assign_poiter
comment).
