* bridge : Sanitize skb before it enters the IP stackBandan Das2010-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Related dicussion here : http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/3/16 Introduce a function br_parse_ip_options that will audit the skb and possibly refill IP options before a packet enters the IP stack. If no options are present, the function will zero out the skb cb area so that it is not misinterpreted as options by some unsuspecting IP layer routine. If packet consistency fails, drop it.

* stmmac: consolidate and tidy-up the COE supportGiuseppe CAVALLARO2010-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first version of the driver had hard-coded the logic for handling the checksum offloading. This was designed according to the chips included in the STM platforms where: o MAC10/100 supports no COE at all. o GMAC fully supports RX/TX COE. This is not good for other chip configurations where, for example, the mac10/100 supports the tx csum in HW or when the GMAC has no IPC. Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach; he provided me a first draft of this patch that only reviewed the IPC for the GMAC devices. This patch also helps on SPEAr platforms where the MAC10/100 can perform the TX csum in HW. Thanks to Deepak SIKRI for his support on this. In the end, GMAC devices for STM platforms have a bugged Jumbo frame support that needs to have the Tx COE disabled for oversized frames (due to limited buffer sizes). This information is also passed through the driver's platform structure.

* Phonet: resource routing backendRémi Denis-Courmont2010-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When both destination device and object are nul, Phonet routes the packet according to the resource field. In fact, this is the most common pattern when sending Phonet "request" packets. In this case, the packet is delivered to whichever endpoint (socket) has registered the resource. This adds a new table so that Linux processes can register their Phonet sockets to Phonet resources, if they have adequate privileges. (Namespace support is not implemented at the moment.)

* Phonet: remove dangling pipe if an endpoint is closed earlyRémi Denis-Courmont2010-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Closing a pipe endpoint is not normally allowed by the Phonet pipe, other than as a side after-effect of removing the pipe between two endpoints. But there is no way to prevent Linux userspace processes from being killed or suffering from bugs, so this can still happen. We might as well forcefully close Phonet pipe endpoints then. The cellular modem supports only a few existing pipes at a time. So we really should not leak them. This change instructs the modem to destroy the pipe if either of the pipe's endpoint (Linux socket) is closed too early.

| * dccp ccid-3: Simplify and consolidate tx_parse_optionsGerrit Renker2010-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simplifies and consolidates the TX option-parsing code: 1. The Loss Intervals option is not currently used, so dead code related to this option is removed. I am aware of no plans to support the option, but if someone wants to implement it (e.g. for inter-op tests), it is better to start afresh than having to also update currently unused code. 2. The Loss Event and Receive Rate options have a lot of code in common (both are 32 bit, both have same length etc.), so this is consolidated. 3. The test against GSR is not necessary, because - on first loading CCID3, ccid_new() zeroes out all fields in the socket; - ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv() treats 0 and ~0U equivalently, due to pinv = opt_recv->ccid3or_loss_event_rate; if (pinv == ~0U || pinv == 0) hctx->p = 0; - as a result, the sequence number field is removed from opt_recv.

| * dccp ccid-3: remove buggy RTT-sampling history lookupGerrit Renker2010-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the RTT-sampling function tfrc_tx_hist_rtt(), since 1. it suffered from complex passing of return values (the return value both indicated successful lookup while the value doubled as RTT sample); 2. when for some odd reason the sample value equalled 0, this triggered a bug warning about "bogus Ack", due to the ambiguity of the return value; 3. on a passive host which has not sent anything the TX history is empty and thus will lead to unwanted "bogus Ack" warnings such as ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-28197148 ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-26641606. The fix is to replace the implicit encoding by performing the steps manually. Furthermore, the "bogus Ack" warning has been removed, since it can actually be triggered due to several reasons (network reordering, old packet, (3) above), hence it is not very useful.

| * dccp ccid-3: A lower bound for the inter-packet scheduling algorithmGerrit Renker2010-09-15

The algorithm from RFC 5348, 8.3 below continually computes a send time t_nom, which is initialised with the current time t_now; t_gran = 1E6 / HZ specifies the scheduling granularity, s the packet size, and X the sending rate: t_distance = t_nom - t_now; // in microseconds t_delta = min(t_ipi, t_gran) / 2; // `delta' parameter in microseconds if (t_distance >= t_delta) { reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds; } else { t_ipi = s / X; // inter-packet interval in usec t_nom += t_ipi; // compute the next send time send packet now; } Problem: -------- Rescheduling requires a conversion into milliseconds (sk_reset_timer()). The highest jiffy resolution with HZ=1000 is 1 millisecond, so using a higher granularity does not make much sense here. As a consequence, values of t_distance < 1000 are truncated to 0. This issue has so far been resolved by using instead if (t_distance >= t_delta + 1000) reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds; This is unnecessarily large, a lower bound is t_delta' = max(t_delta, 1000). And it implies a further simplification: a) when HZ >= 500, then t_delta <= t_gran/2 = 10^6/(2*HZ) <= 1000, so that t_delta' = MAX(1000, t_delta) = 1000 (constant value); b) when HZ < 500, then t_delta = 1/2*MIN(rtt, t_ipi, t_gran) <= t_gran/2, so that 1000 <= t_delta' <= t_gran/2. The maximum error of using a constant t_delta in (b) is less than half a jiffy. Fix: ---- The patch replaces t_delta with a constant, whose value depends on CONFIG_HZ, changing the above algorithm to: if (t_distance >= t_delta') reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds; where t_delta' = 10^6/(2*HZ) if HZ < 500, and t_delta' = 1000 otherwise.
