Both ip-link and ip-address support the 'up' argument, however this
isn't documented in neither their help outputs or ip-address' manpage.
This patch fixes that.

Recent kernel patches added support for VLAN filtering on the bridge.
This functionality allows one to turn a basic bridge into a VLAN bridge,
where VLANs dicatate packet forwarding and header transformation.
To configure the VLANs on the bridge and its ports a new command is
added to the 'bridge' utility.
# bridge vlan add dev eth0 vid 10 pvid untagged brdev
# bridge vlan add
# bridge vlan delete dev eth0 vid 10
# bridge vlan show
This command supports the following flags:
master - peform the operation on the software bridge device. This is
the default behavior.
self - perform the operation on the hardware associated with the port.
This flag is required when the device is the bridge device and
the configuration is desired on the bridge device itself (not
one of the ports).
pvid - Set the PVID (port vlan id) for a given port. Any untagged
frames arriving on the port will be assigned to this vlan.
untagged - Sets the egress policy of for a given vlan. Default port
egress policy is tagged. Set this flag if you wish traffic
associated with this VLAN to exit the port untagged.

Some platforms like ppc64 have unsigned long long as 128 bits, and
the printf format string would cause errors. Resolve this by using
unsigned long long where necessary (or unsigned long).

errors ) causes the following build error.

This is fixed by adding the prototype in the header include/iptables.h
I am not sure if this is due to something wrong on my build system but I am

Clearer error messages for fifo and tbf qdiscs:
- Say who is complaining
- Don't just say a parameter is bad, show the offending parameter
- Be clearer about duplicate parameters vs illegal pairs of parameters
- Try to give multiple error messages rather than let the user discover the errors one by one
- When there are parameter aliases, try to use the variant that was used, or at least mention them all
Note that in the old version an empty parameter list to tbf would just cause an explain() message
without a specific error message. By simply removing the relevant error check, the code now
handles this error more gracefully by printing an error message for all mandatory parameters.
It still prints the explain() message.

Platforms have different alignment requirements which need to be
fulfilled by the compiler. If the structure elements are already
4 byte (NLMGS_ALIGNTO) aligned by the compiler adding an explicit
padding element (align_rta) is not allowed.
Use __attribute__ ((aligned (NLMSG_ALIGNTO))) in order to achieve
the required alignment.
Experienced on ARM (xscale) with symptom
netlink: 12 bytes leftover after parsing attributes

PowerPC (32bit Big Endian)

Fixes Debian bug #700434
Need to table id in filter to be unsigned to avoid conversion to -1
The documentation for "ip" suggests that, when using multiple routing tables, the table ID can be an arbitrary 32 bit number. I've been writing a script that calculates a table Id based on an IP addresses and sets up tables accordingly based on it. This seems to work for everything I've tried except "ip route flush". If you specify a table to flush with an ID over 2^31, it flushes all IPv4 routing tables. For example:
Will delete all routing tables, including the default one. Needless to say, this is quite annoying. I think this is an upstream bug, but your opinions will be greatly appreciated.
This patch improves many error messages as follows:
- For incorrect parameters, show the value of the offending parameter, rather than just say that it is incorrect
- Rephrased messages for clarity
- Rephrased to more `mainstream' english

On openSUSE 12.2 (at least) xtables.h is not installed in the system-wide
include dir but in /usr/include/iptables-1.4.16.3/. This results in the
following build failure:
em_ipset.c:26:21: fatal error: xtables.h: No such file or directory
Other includers of xtables.h already call out to pkg-config
This is useful to know the 'real' status of an interface (the flag IFF_PROMISC
is exported by the kernel only when the user set it explicitly, for example it
will not be exported when a tcpdump is running).
This information will be displayed when '-details' is provided by the user.
Example:
$ ip -d l l tun10

The 'inherit/STRING' or 'inherit/00..ff' syntax indicates that the
TOS field of tunneled packets should be copied from the original IP
header, but for non-IP packets the value STRING or 00..ff should be
used instead. (This syntax is already used by 'ip tunnel show'.)
Also clarify the man page and the command usage text (particularly
that the TOS is not specified as a decimal number).

Sometimes "ip netns delete" fails because it can not delete the file a
network namespace was mounted on. If this only happened when a
network namespace was really in use this would be fine, but today it
is possible to pin all network namespaces by simply having a long
running process started with "ip netns exec".
Every mount is copied when a network namespace is created so it is
impossible to prevent the mounts from getting into other mount
namespaces. Modify all mounts in the files and subdirectories of
/var/run/netns to be shared mount points so that unmount events can
propogate, making it unlikely that "ip netns delete" will fail because
a directory is mounted in another mount namespace.

Ben Hutchings pointed out that the return value of do_netns is passed
to exit and the current convention of returning -1 for failure is
inconsitent with that reality.
Return EXIT_FAILURE instead of -1 and EXIT_SUCCESS instead of 0. To make
it clear that the return codes are expected to be passed to exit.

Some systems are now following the advice in
linux/Documentation/sharedsubtrees.txt and running with all mount
points shared between all mount namespaces by default.
After creating the mount namespace call mount on / with
MS_SLAVE|MS_REC to modify all mounts in the new mount namespace to
slave mounts if they are shared or private mounts otherwise.
Guarnateeing that changes to the mount namespace created with
"ip netns exec" don't propgate to other namespaces.
