[PATCH 0/3] macvlan: support for guest vm direct rx/tx

From: Patrick Mullaney
Date: Fri Nov 13 2009 - 14:55:35 EST


(Applies to net-2.6.git/master:1dfc5827)

These patches allow other modules to override the receive
path of a macvlan. This is being done to support guest
VMs operating directly over a macvlan. Routines to allow
creation and deletion of macvlans from in-kernel modules
were also exposed/added.

Patrick Mullaney (3):
macvlan: allow in-kernel modules to create and manage macvlan devices
macvlan: derived from Arnd Bergmann's patch for macvtap
netdevice: provide common routine for macvlan and vlan operstate management
