| * | mac80211: extend/document powersave APIJohannes Berg2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This modifies hardware flags for powersave to support three different flags: * IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS - indicates general PS support * IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK - indicates nullfunc sending in software * IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS - indicates dynamic PS on the device It also adds documentation for all this which explains how to set the various flags. Additionally, it fixes a few things: * a spot where && was used to test flags * enable CONF_PS only when associated again Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * | mac80211: clean up channel type configJohannes Berg2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The channel_type really doesn't need to be the only member in a new structure, so remove the struct. Additionally, remove the _CONF_CHANGE_HT flag and use _CONF_CHANGE_CHANNEL when the channel type changes, since that's enough of a change to require reprogramming the hardware anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | power_level in ieee80211_conf is being used for more than one purpose. It being used as user configured power limit and the final power limit given to the driver. By doing so, except very first time, the tx power limit is taken from min(chan->max_power, local->hw.conf.power_level) which is not what we want.

Declare variable cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace: move it into struct netns_ipv4. This variable counts the number of unresolved cache entries queued in the list mfc_unres_queue. This list is kept global to all netns as the number of entries per namespace is limited to 10 (hardcoded in routine ipmr_cache_unresolved). Entries belonging to different namespaces in mfc_unres_queue will be identified by matching the mfc_net member introduced previously in struct mfc_cache. Keeping this list global to all netns, also allows us to keep a single timer (ipmr_expire_timer) to handle their expiration. In some places cache_resolve_queue_len value was tested for arming or deleting the timer. These tests were equivalent to testing mfc_unres_queue value instead and are replaced in this patch.

* | inet: Allowing more than 64k connections and heavily optimize bind(0) time.Evgeniy Polyakov2009-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With simple extension to the binding mechanism, which allows to bind more than 64k sockets (or smaller amount, depending on sysctl parameters), we have to traverse the whole bind hash table to find out empty bucket. And while it is not a problem for example for 32k connections, bind() completion time grows exponentially (since after each successful binding we have to traverse one bucket more to find empty one) even if we start each time from random offset inside the hash table. So, when hash table is full, and we want to add another socket, we have to traverse the whole table no matter what, so effectivelly this will be the worst case performance and it will be constant. Attached picture shows bind() time depending on number of already bound sockets. Green area corresponds to the usual binding to zero port process, which turns on kernel port selection as described above. Red area is the bind process, when number of reuse-bound sockets is not limited by 64k (or sysctl parameters). The same exponential growth (hidden by the green area) before number of ports reaches sysctl limit. At this time bind hash table has exactly one reuse-enbaled socket in a bucket, but it is possible that they have different addresses. Actually kernel selects the first port to try randomly, so at the beginning bind will take roughly constant time, but with time number of port to check after random start will increase. And that will have exponential growth, but because of above random selection, not every next port selection will necessary take longer time than previous. So we have to consider the area below in the graph (if you could zoom it, you could find, that there are many different times placed there), so area can hide another. Blue area corresponds to the port selection optimization. This is rather simple design approach: hashtable now maintains (unprecise and racely updated) number of currently bound sockets, and when number of such sockets becomes greater than predefined value (I use maximum port range defined by sysctls), we stop traversing the whole bind hash table and just stop at first matching bucket after random start. Above limit roughly corresponds to the case, when bind hash table is full and we turned on mechanism of allowing to bind more reuse-enabled sockets, so it does not change behaviour of other sockets.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine modules from being removed. Once the clients are done re-enable module removal. Why?, beyond reducing complication: 1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line bouncing effects. 2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or dma-slave) 3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify clients of remove events. The driver can simply return NULL to a ->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * netlink: fix (theoretical) overrun in message iterationVegard Nossum2008-12-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | See commit 1045b03e07d85f3545118510a587035536030c1c ("netlink: fix overrun in attribute iteration") for a detailed explanation of why this patch is necessary. In short, nlmsg_next() can make "remaining" go negative, and the remaining >= sizeof(...) comparison will promote "remaining" to an unsigned type, which means that the expression will evaluate to true for negative numbers, even though it was not intended. I put "theoretical" in the title because I have no evidence that this can actually happen, but I suspect that a crafted netlink packet can trigger some badness. Note that the last test, which seemingly has the exact same problem (also true for nla_ok()), is perfectly OK, since we already know that remaining is positive.

| * | mac80211: implement dynamic power saveKalle Valo2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * | mac80211: Add HT rates into RX status reportingJouni Malinen2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * | mac80211: Fix HT channel selectionSujith2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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- ).

| * | tcp: Add GRO supportHerbert Xu2008-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the TCP-specific portion of GRO. The criterion for merging is extremely strict (the TCP header must match exactly apart from the checksum) so as to allow refragmentation. Otherwise this is pretty much identical to LRO, except that we support the merging of ECN packets. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | ipv4: Add GRO infrastructureHerbert Xu2008-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds GRO support for IPv4. The criteria for merging is more stringent than LRO, in particular, we require all fields in the IP header to be identical except for the length, ID and checksum. In addition, the ID must form an arithmetic sequence with a difference of one. The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware TSO solutions already obey this rule. Linux itself also obeys this whether GSO is in use or not. In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather making sure that we don't drop them when pulling the aggregate skb's tail).
