| * mac82011: Allow selection of minstrel_ht as default rc algorithmHelmut Schaa2010-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow selection of minstrel_ht as default rate control algorithm. At the moment minstrel_ht can only be requested by the driver code but not selected as default in make menuconfig. Fix this by using minstrel_ht when minstrel was selected as default and minstrel_ht is available. This change won't affect legacy devices as minstrel_ht falls back to minstrel in that case.

| * nl80211: Add option to adjust transmit powerJuuso Oikarinen2010-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds transmit power setting type and transmit power level attributes to NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY in order to facilitate adjusting of the transmit power level of the device. The added attributes allow selection of automatic, limited or fixed transmit power level, with the level definable in signed mBm format.

| * cfg80211/mac80211: Update set_tx_power to use mBm instead of dBm unitsJuuso Oikarinen2010-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation for a TX power setting interface in the nl80211, change the .set_tx_power function to use mBm units instead of dBm for greater accuracy and smaller power levels. Also, already in advance move the tx_power_setting enumeration to nl80211. This change affects the .tx_set_power function prototype. As a result, the corresponding changes are needed to modules using it. These are mac80211, iwmc3200wifi and rndis_wlan.

| * mac80211: avoid scheduling while atomic in mesh_rx_plink_frameJohn W. Linville2010-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While mesh_rx_plink_frame holds sta->lock... mesh_rx_plink_frame -> mesh_plink_inc_estab_count -> ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify ...but ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify is allowed to sleep. A driver taking advantage of that allowance can cause a scheduling while atomic bug. Similar paths exist for mesh_plink_dec_estab_count, so work around those as well. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16099 Also, correct a minor kerneldoc comment error (mismatched function names).

| * mac80211: Add interface for driver to temporarily disable dynamic psJuuso Oikarinen2010-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This mechanism introduced in this patch applies (at least) for hardware designs using a single shared antenna for both WLAN and BT. In these designs, the antenna must be toggled between WLAN and BT. In those hardware, managing WLAN co-existence with Bluetooth requires WLAN full power save whenever there is Bluetooth activity in order for WLAN to be able to periodically relinquish the antenna to be used for BT. This is because BT can only access the shared antenna when WLAN is idle or asleep. Some hardware, for instance the wl1271, are able to indicate to the host whenever there is BT traffic. In essence, the hardware will send an indication to the host whenever there is, for example, SCO traffic or A2DP traffic, and will send another indication when the traffic is over. The hardware gets information of Bluetooth traffic via hardware co-existence control lines - these lines are used to negotiate the shared antenna ownership. The hardware will give the antenna to BT whenever WLAN is sleeping. This patch adds the interface to mac80211 to facilitate temporarily disabling of dynamic power save as per request of the WLAN driver. This interface will immediately force WLAN to full powersave, hence allowing BT coexistence as described above. In these kind of shared antenna desings, when WLAN powersave is fully disabled, Bluetooth will not work simultaneously with WLAN at all. This patch does not address that problem. This interface will not change PSM state, so if PSM is disabled it will remain so. Solving this problem requires knowledge about BT state, and is best done in user-space.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, detection in hwsim and ath9k can detect that two sw scans are in flight at the same time, which isn't really true. It is caused by a race condition, because the scan complete callback is called too late, after the lock has been dropped, so that a new scan can be started before it is called. It is also called too early semantically, as it is currently called _after_ the return to the operating channel -- it should be before so that drivers know this is the operating channel again.

* | ethtool: Add support for control of RX flow hash indirectionBen Hutchings2010-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many NICs use an indirection table to map an RX flow hash value to one of an arbitrary number of queues (not necessarily a power of 2). It can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered there. It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for user processes with the same CPU-affinity as the RX interrupts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ethtool_op_set_flags() does not check for unsupported flags, and has no way of doing so. This means it is not suitable for use as a default implementation of ethtool_ops::set_flags. Add a 'supported' parameter specifying the flags that the driver and hardware support, validate the requested flags against this, and change all current callers to pass this parameter. Change some other trivial implementations of ethtool_ops::set_flags to call ethtool_op_set_flags().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/netstat expose SNMP counters. Width of these counters is either 32 or 64 bits, depending on the size of "unsigned long" in kernel. This means user program parsing these files must already be prepared to deal with 64bit values, regardless of user program being 32 or 64 bit. This patch introduces 64bit snmp values for IPSTAT mib, where some counters can wrap pretty fast if they are 32bit wide. # netstat -s|egrep "InOctets|OutOctets" InOctets: 244068329096 OutOctets: 244069348848 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is thanks to Andre Noll who reported the issue and helped testing. The Syn-RTT sampled during the initial handshake currently only works for the client sending the DCCP-Request. TFRC penalizes the absence of an RTT sample with a very slow initial speed (1 packet per second), which delays slow-start significantly, resulting in sluggish performance. This patch mirrors the "Syn RTT" principle by adding a timestamp also onto the DCCP-Response, producing an RTT sample when the (Data)Ack completing the handshake arrives. Also changed the documentation to 'TFRC' since Syn RTTs are also used by CCID-4. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | tcp: do not send reset to already closed socketsKonstantin Khorenko2010-06-25

Moreover, a packet with reset is sent with different source port as original port number has been already cleared on socket. Besides that incrementing stat counter for LINUX_MIB_TCPABORTONCLOSE also does not look correct in this case. Initially this issue was found on 2.6.18-x RHEL5 kernel, but the same seems to be true for the current mainstream kernel (checked on 2.6.35-rc3). Please, correct me if i missed something. How that happens: 1) the server receives a packet for socket in TCP_CLOSE_WAIT state that triggers a tcp_reset(): Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff8025b9b9>] tcp_reset+0x12f/0x1e8 [<ffffffff80046125>] tcp_rcv_state_process+0x1c0/0xa08 [<ffffffff8003eb22>] tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x310/0x37a [<ffffffff80028bea>] tcp_v4_rcv+0x74d/0xb43 [<ffffffff8024ef4c>] ip_local_deliver_finish+0x0/0x259 [<ffffffff80037131>] ip_local_deliver+0x200/0x2f4 [<ffffffff8003843c>] ip_rcv+0x64c/0x69f [<ffffffff80021d89>] netif_receive_skb+0x4c4/0x4fa [<ffffffff80032eca>] process_backlog+0x90/0xec [<ffffffff8000cc50>] net_rx_action+0xbb/0x1f1 [<ffffffff80012d3a>] __do_softirq+0xf5/0x1ce [<ffffffff8001147a>] handle_IRQ_event+0x56/0xb0 [<ffffffff8006334c>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x28 [<ffffffff80070476>] do_softirq+0x2c/0x85 [<ffffffff80070441>] do_IRQ+0x149/0x152 [<ffffffff80062665>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xa <EOI> [<ffffffff80008a2e>] __handle_mm_fault+0x6cd/0x1303 [<ffffffff80008903>] __handle_mm_fault+0x5a2/0x1303 [<ffffffff80033a9d>] cache_free_debugcheck+0x21f/0x22e [<ffffffff8006a263>] do_page_fault+0x49a/0x7dc [<ffffffff80066487>] thread_return+0x89/0x174 [<ffffffff800c5aee>] audit_syscall_exit+0x341/0x35c [<ffffffff80062e39>] error_exit+0x0/0x84 tcp_rcv_state_process() ... // (sk_state == TCP_CLOSE_WAIT here) ... /* step 2: check RST bit */ if(th->rst) { tcp_reset(sk); goto discard; } ... --------------------------------- tcp_rcv_state_process tcp_reset tcp_done tcp_set_state(sk, TCP_CLOSE); inet_put_port __inet_put_port inet_sk(sk)->num = 0; sk->sk_shutdown = SHUTDOWN_MASK; 2) After that the process (socket owner) tries to write something to that socket and "inet_autobind" sets a _new_ (which differs from the original!) port number for the socket: Call Trace: [<ffffffff80255a12>] inet_bind_hash+0x33/0x5f [<ffffffff80257180>] inet_csk_get_port+0x216/0x268 [<ffffffff8026bcc9>] inet_autobind+0x22/0x8f [<ffffffff80049140>] inet_sendmsg+0x27/0x57 [<ffffffff8003a9d9>] do_sock_write+0xae/0xea [<ffffffff80226ac7>] sock_writev+0xdc/0xf6 [<ffffffff800680c7>] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x9/0xe [<ffffffff8001fb49>] __pollwait+0x0/0xdd [<ffffffff8008d533>] default_wake_function+0x0/0xe [<ffffffff800a4f10>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e [<ffffffff800f0b49>] do_readv_writev+0x163/0x274 [<ffffffff80066538>] thread_return+0x13a/0x174 [<ffffffff800145d8>] tcp_poll+0x0/0x1c9 [<ffffffff800c56d3>] audit_syscall_entry+0x180/0x1b3 [<ffffffff800f0dd0>] sys_writev+0x49/0xe4 [<ffffffff800622dd>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0 3) sendmsg fails at last with -EPIPE (=> 'write' returns -EPIPE in userspace): F: tcp_sendmsg1 -EPIPE: sk=ffff81000bda00d0, sport=49847, old_state=7, new_state=7, sk_err=0, sk_shutdown=3 Call Trace: [<ffffffff80027557>] tcp_sendmsg+0xcb/0xe87 [<ffffffff80033300>] release_sock+0x10/0xae [<ffffffff8016f20f>] vgacon_cursor+0x0/0x1a7 [<ffffffff8026bd32>] inet_autobind+0x8b/0x8f [<ffffffff8003a9d9>] do_sock_write+0xae/0xea [<ffffffff80226ac7>] sock_writev+0xdc/0xf6 [<ffffffff800680c7>] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x9/0xe [<ffffffff8001fb49>] __pollwait+0x0/0xdd [<ffffffff8008d533>] default_wake_function+0x0/0xe [<ffffffff800a4f10>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e [<ffffffff800f0b49>] do_readv_writev+0x163/0x274 [<ffffffff80066538>] thread_return+0x13a/0x174 [<ffffffff800145d8>] tcp_poll+0x0/0x1c9 [<ffffffff800c56d3>] audit_syscall_entry+0x180/0x1b3 [<ffffffff800f0dd0>] sys_writev+0x49/0xe4 [<ffffffff800622dd>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0 tcp_sendmsg() ... /* Wait for a connection to finish. */ if ((1 << sk->sk_state) & ~(TCPF_ESTABLISHED | TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT)) { int old_state = sk->sk_state; if ((err = sk_stream_wait_connect(sk, &timeo)) != 0) { if (f_d && (err == -EPIPE)) { printk("F: tcp_sendmsg1 -EPIPE: sk=%p, sport=%u, old_state=%d, new_state=%d, " "sk_err=%d, sk_shutdown=%d\n", sk, ntohs(inet_sk(sk)->sport), old_state, sk->sk_state, sk->sk_err, sk->sk_shutdown); dump_stack(); } goto out_err; } } ... 4) Then the process (socket owner) understands that it's time to close that socket and does that (and thus triggers sending reset packet): Call Trace: ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It has been reported that the new UFO software fallback path fails under certain conditions with NFS. I tracked the problem down to the generation of UFO packets that are smaller than the MTU. The software fallback path simply discards these packets. This patch fixes the problem by not generating such packets on the UFO path. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Reviewed-by: Michael S.

Change to run only as soon as needed or at next ageing timer interval which ever is sooner. Use round_jiffies_up macro rather than attempting round up by changing value.

| * | Clear IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE for teql interfacesTom Hughes2010-06-16

The problem is that the transmit routine relies on being able to access the destination address in the skb in order to do address resolution once it has decided which underlying interface it is going to transmit through. In 2.6.31 the IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE flag was introduced, and set by default for all interfaces, which causes the destination address to be released before the transmit routine for the interface is called. The solution is to clear that flag for teql interfaces. Signed-off-by: Tom Hughes <tom@compton.nu> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
