[PATCH 2 0/4] Add ability to set defaultless network device MAC addresses to deterministic computed locally administered values

[PATCH 2 0/4] Add ability to set defaultless network device MAC addresses to deterministic computed locally administered values

[Andy Green]

The following series adds some code to generate legal, locally administered
MAC addresses from OMAP4 CPU Die ID fuse data, and then adds a helper at
net/ethernet taking care of accepting device path / MAC mapping registrations
and running a notifier to enforce the requested MAC when the matching network
device turns up.

On PandaBoard / ES, two devices have no board-level MAC either assigned by
the manufacturer or stored on the board, the last patch in the series adds
these device paths and gets them set when the network device is registered.

Lastly for convenient testing, there's a little patch on omap2plus_defconfig
that will get Ethernet and WLAN up on Pandaboard.

The patches are against today's linux-omap.

Thanks to Tony Lindgren and Arnd Bergmann for comments leading to the
helper in net/ethernet.

[PATCH 2 1/4] OMAP2+: add cpu id register to MAC address helper

[Andy Green]

From: Andy Green <andy@warmcat.com>

Introduce a generic helper function that can generate a valid MAC
address using data from the OMAP unique CPU ID register.

For comparison purposes this produces a MAC address of

  2e:20:3c:ea:46:01

for the ethernet device on my PandaBoard ES.

The MAC address space has space set aside for these kind of "locally
administered" MAC addresses, analogous to IPv4 10.x.x.x range, and this
patch marks the generated MAC addresses as such.

The patch leaves two bits allowing elaborating 4 different MACs from the
generated data.

[PATCH 2 2/4] net ethernet introduce mac_la_ap helper

[Andy Green]

From: Andy Green <andy@warmcat.com>

This introduces a small helper in net/ethernet, which registers a
network notifier on init, and accepts registrations of expected asynchronously-
probed network device paths (like, "usb1/1-1/1-1.1/1-1.1:1.0") and the MAC
that is needed to be assigned to the device when it appears.

This allows platform code to enforce valid, consistent MAC addresses on to
devices that have not been probed at boot-time, but due to being wired on the
board are always present at the same interface.  It has been tested with USB
and SDIO probed devices.

To make use of this safely you also need to make sure that any drivers that
may compete for the bus ordinal you are using (eg, mUSB and ehci in Panda
case) are loaded in a deterministic order.

At registration it makes a copy of the incoming data, so the data may be
__initdata or otherwise transitory.  Registration can be called multiple times
so registrations from Device Tree and platform may be mixed.

Since it needs to be called quite early in boot and there is no lifecycle for
what it does, it could not be modular and is not a driver.

Via suggestions from Arnd Bergmann and Tony Lindgren.

[PATCH 2 3/4] OMAP4 PANDA register ethernet and wlan for automatic mac allocation

[Andy Green]

From: Andy Green <andy@warmcat.com>

This provides the board-specific device paths needed to get
the panda boardfile working with the mac-la-ap api.

On Pandaboard / ES, neither the onboard Ethernet or onboard WLAN
module have onboard arrangements for MAC storage, without this
series yielding randomized MAC per-boot and consequent DHCP problems,
or in the case of wlan0 a MAC set by a firmware file in the rootfs
which unless customized yields a MAC of 00:00:00:00:00:00.  No
official MAC is reserved for either network device even if you do
take the approach to customize the firmware file.

This gets sane, consistent MAC addresses on both devices which
should stand a good probability of differing between PandaBoards.

Yes, looks good to me in principle. It needs to get sent to the linux-kernel
and netdev mailing lists for review though. A few small comments.

I find the name a bit non-obvious, not sure if we can come up with the
perfect one.

This one needs to be either a silent option (only selected by the
platforms that want it) or the header file has to provide a
static-inline fallback that does nothing, so we don't get
a build failure on platforms that need it if the option gets
disabled.

I'd prefer making it a silent option because then we don't bloat
the kernel if someone accidentally enables it on a platform that
does not use it.

> +static struct mac_la_ap mac_la_ap_list;

The normal way to do this is to have just a list head that the
entries get added to:

static LIST_HEAD(mac_la_ap_list);

That also takes care of the initialization.

These should all be static.

The mutex is already initialized, and the list head too if you do the
change above.

I think it would be simpler to register the notifier from an
initcall and drop the mac_la_ap_started variable.

I'm not sure if there is any point in exporting this function, my feeling
is that it would only ever be called from built-in code. If we can call it
from a module, we should probably also allow this file to be a loadable
module as well.

I really find it unfortunate that 'mac' for ethernet has the same name
as the Apple box as well. 'mac' in other contexts can usually
differentiate these two, but saying 'mac-platform' just screams of
forbidden fruit.

I wanted to hear that it had actually converged with what was being 
talked about first.  I just sent out a v3 with the relevant patch also 
cc-d to those lists but stg mail didn't seem to send it to them.  I'll 
wait for any further comments here and resend the whole thing including

Done.  It's already added as a select on the Panda board config.

I also moved it out of the "if NET" clause and took care about the case 
that CONFIG_NET is off but we still have mac-platform references.

That was my first approach, to structure it as a real driver.  I had 
tried a few likely-looking initcall levels but the init of the helper 
was coming after the init of the network code.

I found this time that core_initcall works, so I used that, dropped the 
flag.  But isn't it a bit tricky with these to know if the prerequisite 
you're trying to ensure is already initialized might not actually be at 
the same initcall level and you're working by accident?

Being a modular API for platform code to call doesn't make sense, I got 
rid of the export.

Maybe eth_mac_addr.h?
