2009-01-04dccp: Lockless integration of CCID congestion-control pluginsGerrit Renker
Based on Arnaldo's earlier patch, this patch integrates the standardised CCID congestion control plugins (CCID-2 and CCID-3) of DCCP with dccp.ko: * enables a faster connection path by eliminating the need to always go through the CCID registration lock; * updates the implementation to use only a single array whose size equals the number of configured CCIDs instead of the maximum (256); * since the CCIDs are now fixed array elements, synchronization is no longer needed, simplifying use and implementation. CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10); CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.

2009-01-04can: update can-bcm for hrtimer hardirq callbacksOliver Hartkopp
Since commit ca109491f612aab5c8152207631c0444f63da97f ("hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes") the hrtimer callbacks are processed only in hardirq context. This patch moves some functionality into tasklets to run in softirq context. Additionally some duplicated code was removed in bcm_rx_thr_flush() and an avoidable memcpy was removed from bcm_rx_handler().

2009-01-04net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28Michael Marineau
From: Michael Marineau <mike@marineau.org> Commit b47300168e770b60ab96c8924854c3b0eb4260eb "Do not fire linkwatch events until the device is registered." was made as a workaround for drivers that call netif_carrier_off before registering the device. Unfortunately this causes these drivers to incorrectly report their link status as IF_OPER_UNKNOWN which can falsely set the IFF_RUNNING flag when the interface is first brought up. This issues was previously pointed out[1] but was dismissed saying that IFF_RUNNING is not related to the link status. From my digging IFF_RUNNING, as reported to userspace, is based on the link state. It is set based on __LINK_STATE_START and IF_OPER_UP or IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. See [2], [3], and [4]. (Whether or not the kernel has IFF_RUNNING set in flags is not reported to user space so it may well be independent of the link, I don't know if and when it may get set.) The end result depends slightly depending on the driver. The the two I tested were e1000e and b44. With e1000e if the system is booted without a network cable attached the interface will falsely report RUNNING when it is brought up causing NetworkManager to attempt to start it and eventually time out. With b44 when the system is booted with a network cable attached and brought up with dhcpcd it will time out the first time. The attached patch that will still set the operstate variable correctly to IF_OPER_UP/DOWN/etc when linkwatch_fire_event is called but then return rather than skipping the linkwatch_fire_event call entirely as the previous fix did.

2009-01-04gro: Add page frag supportHerbert Xu
This patch allows GRO to merge page frags (skb_shinfo(skb)->frags) in one skb, rather than using the less efficient frag_list. It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating an skb. This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's lro_receive_frags interface. The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed there. The merging itself is rather simple. We store any new frag entries after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first new entry can be merged with the last existing entry. Making this check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation. If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now.

2009-01-04gro: Use gso_size to store MSSHerbert Xu
In order to allow GRO packets without frag_list at all, we need to store the MSS in the packet itself. The obvious place is gso_size. The only thing to watch out for is if the packet ends up not being GRO then we need to clear gso_size before pushing the packet into the stack.

2009-01-04ipv6: Fix sporadic sendmsg -EINVAL when sending to multicast groups.David S. Miller
Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky. The core problem is that on a network with lots of active multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up. If we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does in ineffective because route entries hold a reference to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate entries with no references. IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS). So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.

2008-12-29netns: foreach_netdev_safe is insufficient in default_device_exitEric W. Biederman
During network namespace teardown we either move or delete all of the network devices associated with a network namespace. In the case of veth devices deleting one will also delete it's pair device. If both devices are in the same network namespace then for_each_netdev_safe is insufficient as next may point to the second veth device we have deleted. To avoid problems I do what we do in __rtnl_kill_links and restart the scan of the device list, after we have deleted a device. Currently dev_change_netnamespace does not appear to suffer from this problem, but wireless devices are also paired and likely should be moved between network namespaces together. So I have errored on the side of caution and restart the scan of the network devices in that case as well. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-12-26net: Init NAPI dev_list on napi_delPeter P Waskiewicz Jr
The recent GRO patches introduced the NAPI removal of devices in free_netdev. For drivers that can change the number of queues during driver operation, the NAPI infrastructure doesn't allow the freeing and re-addition of NAPI entities without reloading the driver. This change reinitializes the dev_list in each NAPI struct on delete, instead of just deleting it (and assigning the list pointers to POISON). Drivers that wish to remove/re-add NAPI will need to re-initialize the netdev napi_list after removing all NAPI instances, before re-adding NAPI devices again.

2008-12-25tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxtHerbert Xu
Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the sequence number of a packet. This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification (though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible. Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up. Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data. Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted. This way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet. The only potential downside is that applications on the remote end may see multiple SIGURG notifications. However, this would occur anyway with other TCP stacks. More importantly, the outcome of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since the signal itself does not carry any information other than the fact that we're in urgent mode.

2008-12-19mac80211: implement dynamic power saveKalle Valo
This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some require the host to do it. The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms: iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware. It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle. In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS. Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.

2008-12-19mac80211: fix a typo in ieee80211_send_assoc() method.Rami Rosen
This patch fixes a typo in ieee80211_send_assoc(), net/mac80211/mlme.c. The error is usage of a wrong member when building the ie80211 management frame (it should be assoc_req, and not reassoc_req).

2008-12-19mac80211: Remove radiotap rate-present flag for HTJouni Malinen
Since we do not currently report HT rates (MCS index) in radiotap header for HT rates, we should not claim the rate is present. The rate octet itself is used as padding in this case, so only the it_present flag needs to be removed in case of HT rates.

2008-12-19mac80211: Send Layer 2 Update frame on reassociationJouni Malinen
When a STA roams back to the same AP before the previous STA entry has expired, a new STA entry is not added in mac80211. However, a Layer 2 Update frame still needs to be transmitted to update layer 2 devices about the new location for the STA. Without this, switches may continue to forward frames to the previous (now incorrect) port when STA roams between APs. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-12-19mac80211: Add HT rates into RX status reportingJouni Malinen
This patch adds option for HT-enabled drivers to report HT rates (HT20/HT40, short GI, MCS index) to mac80211. These rates are currently not in the rate table, so the rate_idx is used to indicate MCS index. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-12-19mac80211: Fix HT channel selectionSujith
HT management is done differently for AP and STA modes, unify to just the ->config() callback since HT is fundamentally a PHY property and cannot be per-BSS. Rename enum nl80211_sec_chan_offset as nl80211_channel_type to denote the channel type ( NO_HT, HT20, HT40+, HT40- ).
