For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional space (taking alignment into consideration). There are no additions to tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock. This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old) patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original author (Adam Langley): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586 The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce, instead of a user configured offset in the data. This is more flexible and less subject to user configuration error. Such a cookie option has been suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing several related concepts to use the same extension option.

When using register_pernet_gen_device and freeing the data in exit_net it is impossible to delay allocation until after exit_net has called as the device uninit methods are no longer safe. To correct this, and to simplify working with per network namespace data I have moved allocation and deletion of per network namespace data into the network namespace core. The core now frees the data only after all of the network namespace exit routines have run. Now it is only required to set the new fields .id and .size in the pernet_operations structure if you want network namespace data to be managed for you automatically. This makes the current register_pernet_gen_device and register_pernet_gen_subsys routines unnecessary. For the moment I have left them as compatibility wrappers in net_namespace.h They will be removed once all of the users have been updated. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Either because they are nested one inside the other or because they are cooperating in multiple machine networking experiments. As the network stack control logic does not parallelize easily batch up multiple network namespaces existing together. To get the full benefit of batching the virtual network devices to be removed must be all removed in one batch. For that purpose I have added a loop after the last network device operations have run that batches up all remaining network devices and deletes them. An extra benefit is that the reorganization slightly shrinks the size of the per network namespace data structures replaceing a work_struct with a list_head. In a trivial test with 4K namespaces this change reduced the cost of a destroying 4K namespaces from 7+ minutes (at 12% cpu) to 44 seconds (at 60% cpu). The bulk of that 44s was spent in inet_twsk_purge. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

For further batching improvements I need a guarantee that the netdevices are unregistered in order allowing me to unregister an all of the network devices in a network namespace at the same time with the guarantee that the loopback device is really and truly unregistered last. Additionally it appears that we moved the route cache flush after the final synchronize_net, which seems wrong and there was no explanation. So I have restored the original location of the final synchronize_net. Cc: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The decay is happening becuase the connection is idle and we are allowed to fill the congestion window. The point of max.burst is to limit micro-bursts in response to large acks. This still happens, as max.burst is still applied to each transmit opportunity. It will also apply if a very large send is made (greater then allowed by burst).

It was only used when determining if CWND needs to be updated due to idle transport. However, idle transport detection was based on a Heartbeat timer and last_time_used was not incremented when sending Heartbeats. As a result the check for cwnd reduction was always true. We can get rid of the variable and just base our cwnd manipulation on the HB timer (like the code comment sais). We also have to call into the cwnd manipulation function regardless of whether HBs are enabled or not. That way we will detect idle transports if the user has disabled Heartbeats.

The patch looks larger than it really is: __cfg80211_auth_remove() is split out from cfg80211_send_auth_timeout(), there's no new code except __cfg80211_auth_canceled() (a one-liner) and the mac80211 bits (7 new lines of code).

Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and seems to require it being set for all frames, but that can be fixed in rt2x00.

The goal of this command is to allow a drivers to report channel survey data (e.g. channel noise, channel occupation). For now, only the mechanism to report back channel noise has been implemented. In future, there will either be a survey-trigger command --- or the existing scan-trigger command will be enhanced. This will allow user-space to request survey for arbitrary channels. Note: any driver that cannot report channel noise should not report any value at all, e.g. made-up -92 dBm. Signed-off-by: Holger Schurig <holgerschurig@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

One way to fix this is to make ip_id_count an atomic_t instead of __u16, and use atomic_add_return(). In order to keep sizeof(struct inet_peer) = 64 on 64bit arches tcp_ts_stamp is also converted to __u32 instead of "unsigned long".

Normally, this is the case unless the station goes to sleep and wakes up very quickly again. But in that case, frames for it may be pending on the hardware queues, and thus races could happen in the case of multiple hardware queues used for QoS/WMM. Normally this isn't a problem, but with the iwlwifi mechanism we need to make sure the race doesn't happen. This makes mac80211 able to cope with the race with driver help by a new WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER per-station flag that can be controlled by the driver and tells mac80211 whether it can transmit frames or not. This flag must be set according to very specific rules outlined in the documentation for the function that controls it. When we buffer new frames for the station, we normally set the TIM bit right away, but while the driver has blocked transmission to that sta we need to avoid that as well since we cannot respond to the station if it wakes up due to the TIM bit. Once the driver unblocks, we can set the TIM bit. Similarly, when the station just wakes up, we need to wait until all other frames are flushed before we can transmit frames to that station, so the same applies here, we need to wait for the driver to give the OK.

Since it is unused anyway, this patch deprecates it in the hope that drivers will remove their sometimes quite expensive calculations of the value. I'm open to actual uses of the value, but the best way of using it seems to be what the Intel drivers do which should probably be generalised if we have noise values from the hardware.

Also, drivers would have to copy the code to generate the radiotap bits that now mac80211 generates. If some driver in the future needs to add some driver-specific information I'd expect that to be in a radiotap vendor namespace and we can add a different way of passing such data up and having mac80211 include it. Additionally, rename IEEE80211_CONF_RADIOTAP to IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR since it's still used by b43(legacy) to obtain per-frame timestamps. The purpose of this patch is to simplify the RX code in mac80211 to make it easier to add paged skb support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
