* mac80211: IBSS join reworkAlina Friedrichsen2009-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I hold back this patch for around a week to avoid confusion. This is the second step of "mac80211: Fixed BSSID handling revisited". With it, in the situation of a strange merge to the same BSSID (e.g. caused by a TSF overflow) only reset_tsf() is called. And sta_info_flush_delayed() is only called if you change the network manually, not on an automatic BSSID merge. Signed-off-by: Alina Friedrichsen <x-alina@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: Creating new IBSS with fixed BSSIDAlina Friedrichsen2009-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a bug when creating a new IBSS network with a fixed BSSID. The fixed BSSID situation is now with one of my last patches handled in ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() function. It's more robust to test against (ifsta->flags & IEEE80211_STA_PREV_BSSID_SET), because ifsta->state is not seted right in every situation and so the creating of the new IBSS network sometimes hangs after the first try to scan for a network to merge.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch optimises the Ethernet header comparison to use 2-byte and 4-byte xors instead of memcmp.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the messages to the listeners have failed: 1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return -ENOBUFS. 2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0. 3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH. In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for conntrackd) in return. This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side if they hit ENOBUFS. BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

* | gro: Fix frag_list merging on imprecisely split packetsHerbert Xu2009-02-06

In particular, the packet headers end up in the data stream. This patch fixes this plus another issue where an imprecisely split packet header may be read incorrectly (this is mostly harmless since it'll simply cause the packet to not match and be rejected for GRO).

* | net: Partially allow skb destructors to be used on receive pathHerbert Xu2009-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it currently stands, skb destructors are forbidden on the receive path because the protocol end-points will overwrite any existing destructor with their own. This is the reason why we have to call skb_orphan in the loopback driver before we reinject the packet back into the stack, thus creating a period during which loopback traffic isn't charged to any socket. With virtualisation, we have a similar problem in that traffic is reinjected into the stack without being associated with any socket entity, thus providing no natural congestion push-back for those poor folks still stuck with UDP. Now had we been consistent in telling them that UDP simply has no congestion feedback, I could just fob them off. Unfortunately, we appear to have gone to some length in catering for this on the standard UDP path, with skb/socket accounting so that has created a very unhealthy dependency. Alas habits are difficult to break out of, so we may just have to allow skb destructors on the receive path. It turns out that making skb destructors useable on the receive path isn't as easy as it seems. For instance, simply adding skb_orphan to skb_set_owner_r isn't enough. This is because we assume all over the IP stack that skb->sk is an IP socket if present. The new transparent proxy code goes one step further and assumes that skb->sk is the receiving socket if present. Now all of this can be dealt with by adding simple checks such as only treating skb->sk as an IP socket if skb->sk->sk_family matches. However, it turns out that for bridging at least we don't need to do all of this work. This is of interest because most virtualisation setups use bridging so we don't actually go through the IP stack on the host (with the exception of our old nemesis the bridge netfilter, but that's easily taken care of). So this patch simply adds skb_orphan to the point just before we enter the IP stack, but after we've gone through the bridge on the receive path. It also adds an skb_orphan to the one place in netfilter that touches skb->sk/skb->destructor, that is, tproxy. One word of caution, because of the internal code structure, anyone wishing to deploy this must use skb_set_owner_w as opposed to skb_set_owner_r since many functions that create a new skb from an existing one will invoke skb_set_owner_w on the new skb.

Because the thread for a freezeable workqueue is stopped before the device class suspend() is called, flush_workqueue() will hang in the suspend-to-disk case. Converting it back to a non-freezeable queue will keep suspend from hanging. Moreover, since we flush the workqueue under RTNL and userspace is stopped, there won't be any new work in the workqueue until after resume.

In the second version of this patch the handling of the stupid merges to the same BSSID is moved out to get reworked into an other patch. And this version hopefully solves the problems with some low-level drivers and re-adds the config BSSID warning to help debugging the low-level drivers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows drivers to request strict regulatory settings to be applied to its devices. This is desirable for devices where proper calibration and compliance can only be gauranteed for for the device's programmed regulatory domain. Regulatory domain settings will be ignored until the device's own regulatory domain is properly configured. If no regulatory domain is received only the world regulatory domain will be applied -- if OLD_REG (default to "US") is not enabled. If OLD_REG behaviour is not acceptable to drivers they must update their wiphy with a custom reuglatory prior to wiphy registration. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| * | cfg80211: pass more detailed regulatory request information on reg_notifier()Luis R. Rodriguez2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drivers may need more information than just who set the last regulatory domain, as such lets just pass the last regulatory_request receipt. To do this we need to move out to headers struct regulatory_request, and enum environment_cap. While at it lets add documentation for enum environment_cap. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| * | cfg80211: move check for ignore_reg_update() on wiphy_update_regulatory()Luis R. Rodriguez2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This ensures that the initial REGDOM_SET_BY_CORE upon wiphy registration respects the wiphy->custom_regulatory setting. Without this and if OLD_REG is disabled (which will be default soon as we remove it) the wiphy->custom_regulatory is simply ignored. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| * | cfg80211: ignore consecutive equal regulatory hintsLuis R. Rodriguez2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We ignore regulatory hints for the same alpha2 if we already have processed the same alpha2 on the current regulatory domain. For a driver regulatory_hint() this means we copy onto its wiphy->regd the previously procesed regulatory domain from CRDA without having to call CRDA again. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

This can be used by drivers that do not have a direct 1-1 mapping between a regulatory domain and a country. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a flag to notify drivers to start and stop beaconing when needed, for example, during a scan run. Based on Sujith's first patch to do the same, but now disables beaconing for all virtual interfaces while scanning, has a separate change flag and tracks user-space requests.

| * | wireless: restrict to 32 legacy ratesJohannes Berg2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the standards only define 12 legacy rates, 32 is certainly a sane upper limit and we don't need to use u64 everywhere.
