* netns: embed ip6_dst_ops directlyAlexey Dobriyan2009-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct net::ipv6.ip6_dst_ops is separatedly dynamically allocated, but there is no fundamental reason for it. Embed it directly into struct netns_ipv6. For that: * move struct dst_ops into separate header to fix circular dependencies I honestly tried not to, it's pretty impossible to do other way * drop dynamical allocation, allocate together with netns For a change, remove struct dst_ops::dst_net, it's deducible by using container_of() given dst_ops pointer.

* Revert Backoff [v3]: Calculate TCP's connection close threshold as a time value.Damian Lukowski2009-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RFC 1122 specifies two threshold values R1 and R2 for connection timeouts, which may represent a number of allowed retransmissions or a timeout value. Currently linux uses sysctl_tcp_retries{1,2} to specify the thresholds in number of allowed retransmissions. For any desired threshold R2 (by means of time) one can specify tcp_retries2 (by means of number of retransmissions) such that TCP will not time out earlier than R2. This is the case, because the RTO schedule follows a fixed pattern, namely exponential backoff. However, the RTO behaviour is not predictable any more if RTO backoffs can be reverted, as it is the case in the draft "Make TCP more Robust to Long Connectivity Disruptions" (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zimmermann-tcp-lcd). In the worst case TCP would time out a connection after 3.2 seconds, if the initial RTO equaled MIN_RTO and each backoff has been reverted. This patch introduces a function retransmits_timed_out(N), which calculates the timeout of a TCP connection, assuming an initial RTO of MIN_RTO and N unsuccessful, exponentially backed-off retransmissions. Whenever timeout decisions are made by comparing the retransmission counter to some value N, this function can be used, instead. The meaning of tcp_retries2 will be changed, as many more RTO retransmissions can occur than the value indicates. However, it yields a timeout which is similar to the one of an unpatched, exponentially backing off TCP in the same scenario. As no application could rely on an RTO greater than MIN_RTO, there should be no risk of a regression.

* Revert Backoff [v3]: Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachableDamian Lukowski2009-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here, an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, is taken as an indication that the RTO retransmission has not been lost due to congestion, but because of a route failure somewhere along the path. With true congestion, a router won't trigger such a message and the patched TCP will operate as standard TCP. This patch reverts one RTO backoff, if an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, arrives. Based on the new RTO, the retransmission timer is reset to reflect the remaining time, or - if the revert clocked out the timer - a retransmission is sent out immediately. Backoffs are only reverted, if TCP is in RTO loss recovery, i.e. if there have been retransmissions and reversible backoffs, already. Changes from v2: 1) Renaming of skb in tcp_v4_err() moved to another patch. 2) Reintroduced tcp_bound_rto() and __tcp_set_rto(). 3) Fixed code comments.

* dcbnl: Add support for setapp/getapp commands to dcbnlYi Zou2009-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds dcbnl command definitions to support setapp/getapp functionality from the IEEE 802.1Qaz Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange protocol (DCBX) specification. Section 3.3 defines the application protocol and its 802.1p user priority in DCBX, which is implemented here as a pair of setapp/getapp commands in the kernel dcbnl for setting and retrieving the user priority for an given application protocol. The protocol is identified by the combination of an id and an idtype. Currently, when idtype is 0, the corresponding id gives the ether type of this protocol, e.g., for FCoE, it will be 0x8906; when idtype is 1, then the corresponding id gives the TCP or UDP port number. For more information regarding DCBX spec., please refer to the following: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2008/ az-wadekar-dcbx-capability-exchange-discovery-protocol-1108-v1.01.pdf Signed-off-by: Yi Zou <yi.zou@intel.com> Acked-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: Add ndo_fcoe_enable/ndo_fcoe_disable to net_device_opsYi Zou2009-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add ndo_fcoe_enable/_disable to net_device_ops so the corresponding HW can initialize itself for FCoE traffic or clean up after FCoE traffic is done. This is expected to be called by the kernel FCoE stack upon receiving a request for creating an FCoE instance on the corresponding netdev interface. When implemented by the actual HW, the HW driver check the op code to perform corresponding initialization or clean up for FCoE. The initialization normally includes allocating extra queues for FCoE, setting corresponding HW registers for FCoE, indicating FCoE offload features via netdev, etc. The clean-up would include releasing the resources allocated for FCoE.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using DEFER_SETUP on a RFCOMM socket, a SABM frame triggers authorization which when rejected send a DM response. This is fine according to the RFCOMM spec: the responding implementation may replace the "proper" response on the Multiplexer Control channel with a DM frame, sent on the referenced DLCI to indicate that the DLCI is not open, and that the responder would not grant a request to open it later either. But some stacks doesn't seems to cope with this leaving DLCI 0 open after receiving DM frame. To fix it properly a timer was introduced to rfcomm_session which is used to set a timeout when the last active DLC of a session is unlinked, this will give the remote stack some time to reply with a proper DISC frame on DLCI 0 avoiding both sides sending DISC to each other on stacks that follow the specification and taking care of those who don't by taking down DLCI 0.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | L2CAP uses retransmission and monitor timers to inquiry the other side about unacked I-frames. After sending each I-frame we (re)start the retransmission timer. If it expires, we start a monitor timer that send a S-frame with P bit set and wait for S-frame with F bit set.

The device model itself handles the memory details of this correctly, but the uevent order is not consistent. This causes various problems for systems like HAL or even X. So until device_put() does a proper cleanup, the device for Bluetooth connection will be protected with an extra reference counting to ensure the correct order of uevents when connections are terminated. This is not an automatic feature. Higher Bluetooth layers like HIDP or BNEP should grab this new reference to ensure that their uevents are send before the ones from the parent device.

| * mac80211: allow DMA optimisationJohannes Berg2009-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have a lot of frames to transmit at once, for instance with fragmentation, it can be an optimisation to only tell the DMA engine about them on the last fragment/frame to avoid banging the IO too much. This patch allows implementation such an optimisation by telling the driver when more frames can be expected. Currently, this is used by mac80211 only on fragmented frames, but could also be used in the future on other frames when the queue was full and there are multiple frames pending. Note that drivers need to be careful when using this flag, they need to kick their DMA engines not just when this flag is clear, but also when the queue gets full so that progress can be made.
