* udplite: Protection against coverage value wrap-aroundGerrit Renker2008-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch clamps the cscov setsockopt values to a maximum of 0xFFFF. Setsockopt values greater than 0xffff can cause an unwanted wrap-around. Further, IPv6 jumbograms are not supported (RFC 3838, 3.5), so that values greater than 0xffff are not even useful. Further changes: fixed a typo in the documentation.

* | bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zeroJay Vosburgh2008-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Permit bonding to function rationally if max_bonds is set to zero. This will load the module, but create no master devices (which can be created via sysfs). Requires some change to bond_create_sysfs; currently, the netdev sysfs directory is determined from the first bonding device created, but this is no longer possible. Instead, an interface from net/core is created to create and destroy files in net_class. Based on a patch submitted by Phil Oester <kernel@linuxaces.com>.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211 on a single device. It can be used to test most of the mac80211 functionality and user space tools (e.g., hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that matches very closely with the normal case of using real WLAN hardware. From the mac80211 view point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another hardware driver, i.e., no changes to mac80211 are needed to use this testing tool.

* | bonding: Add "follow" option to fail_over_macJay Vosburgh2008-05-22
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a "follow" selection for fail_over_mac. This option causes the MAC address to move from slave to slave as the active slave changes. This is in addition to the existing fail_over_mac option that causes the bond's MAC address to change during failover. This new option is useful for devices that cannot tolerate multiple ports using the same MAC address simultaneously, either because it confuses them or incurs a performance penalty (as is the case with some LPAR-aware multiport devices). Because the MAC of the bond itself does not change, the "follow" option is slightly more reliable during failover and doesn't change the MAC of the bond during operation. This patch requires a previous ARP monitor change to properly handle RTNL during failovers. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3.

The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.

* [DCCP]: Promote CCID2 as default CCIDGerrit Renker2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses the following problems: 1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available. Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation. 2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2 (DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID). 3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a `minimum common denominator'; the specification says that: * "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints" * "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2. The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]" Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable. Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added. Discussions with Ian McDonald on this subject are gratefully acknowledged.
