Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2015 09:56:01 -0800 From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: davem@...emloft.net, stephen@...workplumber.org, kaber@...sh.net, bridge@...ts.linux-foundation.org, buytenh@...tstofly.org, Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/2] net: ipv4: handle DSA enabled master network devices The logic to configure a network interface for kernel IP auto-configuration is very simplistic, and does not handle the case where a device is stacked onto another such as with DSA. This causes the kernel not to open and configure the master network device in a DSA switch tree, and therefore slave network devices using this master network devices as conduit device cannot be open. This restriction comes from a check in net/dsa/slave.c, which is basically checking the master netdev flags for IFF_UP and returns -ENETDOWN if it is not the case. Automatically bringing-up DSA master network devices allows DSA slave network devices to be used as valid interfaces for e.g: NFS root booting by allowing kernel IP autoconfiguration to succeed on these interfaces. On the reverse path, make sure we do not attempt to close a DSA-enabled device as this would implicitely prevent the slave DSA network device from operating.
