Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 17:08:12 +0100 From: Danny Kukawka <danny.kukawka@...ect.de> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: Danny Kukawka <dkukawka@...e.de>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 0/8] validate MAC address before call .ndo_set_mac_address Validate the given MAC address directly in dev_set_mac_address() if a .ndo_validate_addr function is available before calling the .ndo_set_mac_address function. Changed .ndo_validate_addr to take a second parameter containing a sockaddr struct to be checked instead of the net_device dev_addr. The behaviour of .ndo_validate_addr is now: if the second parameter is NULL the net_device->dev_addr gets validate, if != NULL the given parameter/sockaddr gets validated instead. This patch series include adaptations for some drivers which use .ndo_set_mac_address functions directly - to prevent double checks and to enable validations via .ndo_validate_addr. If these patches get accepted, an other series will follow to cleanup the validation checks in the .ndo_set_mac_address functions. Note: resend for ML's Danny Kukawka (8): net: validate MAC address directly in dev_set_mac_address() bnx2x: adopt bnx2x_validate_addr() to .ndo_validate_addr changes cris/eth_v10: use dev_set_mac_address() instead of e100_set_mac_address() bcm63xx_enet: use dev_set_mac_address() instead of bcm_enet_set_mac_address() ethoc: add .ndo_validate_addr to net_device_ops lantiq_etop: use dev_set_mac_address() instead of ltq_etop_set_mac_address() neterion/s2io: fix s2io_set_mac_addr() to prevent double checks octeon: use dev_set_mac_address() instead of octeon_mgmt_set_mac_address() drivers/net/cris/eth_v10.c | 3 +-- drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bcm63xx_enet.c | 2 +- drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_main.c | 13 ++++++++++--- drivers/net/ethernet/ethoc.c | 4 +--- drivers/net/ethernet/lantiq_etop.c | 4 ++-- drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/s2io.c | 5 +---- drivers/net/ethernet/octeon/octeon_mgmt.c | 6 ++---- include/linux/etherdevice.h | 2 +- include/linux/netdevice.h | 7 +++++-- net/core/dev.c | 7 ++++++- net/ethernet/eth.c | 12 +++++++++--- 11 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) -- 1.7.8.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
