2011-08-11ipv4: some rt_iif -> rt_route_iif conversionsJulian Anastasov
As rt_iif represents input device even for packets coming from loopback with output route, it is not an unique key specific to input routes. Now rt_route_iif has such role, it was fl.iif in 2.6.38, so better to change the checks at some places to save CPU cycles and to restore 2.6.38 semantics. compare_keys: - input routes: only rt_route_iif matters, rt_iif is same - output routes: only rt_oif matters, rt_iif is not used for matching in __ip_route_output_key - now we are back to 2.6.38 state ip_route_input_common: - matching rt_route_iif implies input route - compared to 2.6.38 we eliminated one rth->fl.oif check because it was not needed even for 2.6.38 compare_hash_inputs: Only the change here is not an optimization, it has effect only for output routes. I assume I'm restoring the original intention to ignore oif, it was using fl.iif - now we are back to 2.6.38 state Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-08-09net_sched: prio: use qdisc_dequeue_peekedFlorian Westphal
commit 07bd8df5df4369487812bf85a237322ff3569b77 (sch_sfq: fix peek() implementation) changed sfq to use generic peek helper. This makes HFSC complain about a non-work-conserving child qdisc, if prio with sfq child is used within hfsc: hfsc peeks into prio qdisc, which will then peek into sfq. returned skb is stashed in sch->gso_skb. Next, hfsc tries to dequeue from prio, but prio will call sfq dequeue directly, which may return NULL instead of previously peeked-at skb. Have prio call qdisc_dequeue_peeked, so sfq->dequeue() is not called in this case. Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-08-09Bridge: Always send NETDEV_CHANGEADDR up on br MAC change.Andrei Warkentin
This ensures the neighbor entries associated with the bridge dev are flushed, also invalidating the associated cached L2 headers. This means we br_add_if/br_del_if ports to implement hand-over and not wind up with bridge packets going out with stale MAC. This means we can also change MAC of port device and also not wind up with bridge packets going out with stale MAC. This builds on Stephen Hemminger's patch, also handling the br_del_if case and the port MAC change case.

2011-08-09ath5k: fix error handling in ath5k_beacon_sendBob Copeland
This cleans up error handling for the beacon in case of dma mapping failure. We need to free the skb when dma mapping fails instead of nulling and leaking the pointer, and we should bail out to avoid giving the hardware the bad descriptor. Finally, we need to perform the null check after trying to update the beacon, or else beacons will never be sent after a single mapping failure.

2011-08-07dp83640: increase receive time stamp buffer sizeRichard Cochran
The dp83640 buffers receive time stamps from special PHY status frames, matching them to received PTP packets in a work queue. Because the timeout for orphaned time stamps is so long and the buffer is so small, the driver can drop time stamps under moderate PTP traffic. This commit fixes the issue by decreasing the timeout to (at least) one timer tick and increasing the buffer size.

2011-08-07gianfar: fix fiper alignment after resetting the timeRichard Cochran
After resetting the time, the PPS signals on the FIPER output channels are incorrectly offset from the clock time, as can be readily verified by a looping back the FIPER to the external time stamp input. Despite its name, setting the "Fiper Realignment Disable" bit seems to fix the problem, at least on the P2020. Also, following the example code from the Freescale BSP, it is not really necessary to disable and re-enable the timer in order to reprogram the FIPER. (The documentation is rather unclear on this point. It seems that writing to the alarm register also disables the FIPER.)

2011-08-07netfilter: TCP and raw fix for ip_route_me_harderJulian Anastasov
TCP in some cases uses different global (raw) socket to send RST and ACK. The transparent flag is not set there. Currently, it is a problem for rerouting after the previous change. Fix it by simplifying the checks in ip_route_me_harder and use FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC even for sockets. It looks safe because the initial routing allowed this source address to be used and now we just have to make sure the packet is rerouted. As a side effect this also allows rerouting for normal raw sockets that use spoofed source addresses which was not possible even before we eliminated the ip_route_input call.

Currently userland will barf when including linux/netlink.h unless it precisely includes sys/socket.h first. The issue is where the definition of "sa_family_t" comes from. We've been back and forth on how to fix this issue in the past, see: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/622621 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/143380 Ben Hutchings suggested we take a hint from how we handle the sockaddr_storage type. First we define a "__kernel_sa_family_t" to linux/socket.h that is always defined. Then if __KERNEL__ is defined, we also define "sa_family_t" as equal to "__kernel_sa_family_t". Then in places like linux/netlink.h we use __kernel_sa_family_t in user visible datastructures. Reported-by: Michel Machado <michel@digirati.com.br> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-08-07ipv4: fix the reusing of routing cache entriesJulian Anastasov
compare_keys and ip_route_input_common rely on rt_oif for distinguishing of input and output routes with same keys values. But sometimes the input route has also same hash chain (keyed by iif != 0) with the output routes (keyed by orig_oif=0). Problem visible if running with small number of rhash_entries. Fix them to use rt_route_iif instead. By this way input route can not be returned to users that request output route.

2011-08-07arm: remove "optimized" SHA1 routinesLinus Torvalds
Since commit 1eb19a12bd22 ("lib/sha1: use the git implementation of SHA-1"), the ARM SHA1 routines no longer work. The reason? They depended on the larger 320-byte workspace, and now the sha1 workspace is just 16 words (64 bytes). So the assembly version would overwrite the stack randomly. The optimized asm version is also probably slower than the new improved C version, so there's no reason to keep it around. At least that was the case in git, where what appears to be the same assembly language version was removed two years ago because the optimized C BLK_SHA1 code was faster.

2011-08-06vfs: optimize inode cache access patternsLinus Torvalds
The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths really do care. The path lookup in particular is already quite D$ intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz' fields is quite costly. We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode ops that are used during pathname lookup. It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the order accessed. The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel "make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename lookup), so it's visible. The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture. So there's more tuning to be done. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
