2012-06-15ipv6: Handle PMTU in ICMP error handlers.David S. Miller
One tricky issue on the ipv6 side vs. ipv4 is that the ICMP callouts to handle the error pass the 32-bit info cookie in network byte order whereas ipv4 passes it around in host byte order. Like the ipv4 side, we have two helper functions. One for when we have a socket context and one for when we do not. ip6ip6 tunnels are not handled here, because they handle PMTU events by essentially relaying another ICMP packet-too-big message back to the original sender. This patch allows us to get rid of rt6_do_pmtu_disc(). It handles all kinds of situations that simply cannot happen when we do the PMTU update directly using a fully resolved route. In fact, the "plen == 128" check in ip6_rt_update_pmtu() can very likely be removed or changed into a BUG_ON() check. We should never have a prefixed ipv6 route when we get there. Another piece of strange history here is that TCP and DCCP, unlike in ipv4, never invoke the update_pmtu() method from their ICMP error handlers. This is incredibly astonishing since this is the context where we have the most accurate context in which to make a PMTU update, namely we have a fully connected socket and associated cached socket route.

2012-06-14ipv4: Handle PMTU in all ICMP error handlers.David S. Miller
With ip_rt_frag_needed() removed, we have to explicitly update PMTU information in every ICMP error handler. Create two helper functions to facilitate this. 1) ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() This updates the PMTU when we have a socket context to work with. 2) ipv4_update_pmtu() Raw version, used when no socket context is available. For this interface, we essentially just pass in explicit arguments for the flow identity information we would have extracted from the socket. And you'll notice that ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() is simply implemented in terms of ipv4_update_pmtu() Note that __ip_route_output_key() is used, rather than something like ip_route_output_flow() or ip_route_output_key(). This is because we absolutely do not want to end up with a route that does IPSEC encapsulation and the like. Instead, we only want the route that would get us to the node described by the outermost IP header. Reported-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-06-14ixgbe: Check PTP Rx timestamps via BPF filterJacob Keller
This patch fixes a potential Rx timestamp deadlock that causes the Rx timestamping to stall indefinitely. The issue could occur when a PTP packet is timestamped by hardware but never reaches the Rx queue. In order to prevent a permanent loss of timestamping, the RXSTMP(L/H) registers have to be read to unlock them. (This used to only occur when a packet that was timestamped reached the software.) However the registers can't be read early otherwise there is no way to correlate them to the packet. This patch introduces a filter function which can be used to determine if a packet should have been timestamped. Supplied with the filter setup by the hwtstamp ioctl, check to make sure the PTP protocol and message type match the expected values. If so, then read the timestamp registers (to free them.) At this point check the descriptor bit, if the bit is set then we know this packet correlates to the timestamp stored in the RXTSTAMP registers. Otherwise, assume that packet was dropped by the hardware, and ignore this timestamp value. However, we have at least unlocked the rxtstamp registers for future timestamping. Due to the way the driver handles skb data, it cannot be directly accessed. In order to work around this, a copy of the skb data into a linear buffer is made. From this buffer it becomes possible to read the data correctly Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Tested-by: Phil Schmitt <phillip.j.schmitt@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>
2012-06-14ixgbe: PTP Fix hwtstamp mode settingsJacob Keller
When enabling the hwtstamp mode for Rx timestamping the V2 ptp event type specific modes (Delay Request and Sync) have been rolled into the V2 all event packet modes, in order to more accurately represent what hardware is doing. Hardware always timestamps the Path delay packets when a V2 mode is selected, regardless of what type was selected (in order to always support Path delay mode). However this means the user selected modes of timestamping only Sync or Delay Request is not truly supported. This patch correctly sets the mode for the hwtstamp config and returns to the user that all V2 event packets will be timestamped.

2012-06-14ixgbe: align flow control DV macros with datasheetJohn Fastabend
The flow control DV macros are used to calculate the flow control high and low thresholds. This patch annotates these macros slightly better and fixes the issues below. The macro variables are renamed LINK to _max_frame_link and TC to _max_frame_tc. This was to avoid confusion and make them more readable. It was found that people auditing the code read TC to be 'traffic class' in the 802.1Q definition instead of the max frame size of the tc. Hopefully it is clear now. This audit also found the following real deviations from the theoretical values. Fixed in this patch. * I multiplied the DV calculations by (36/25) which always evaluates to 1. This does not match the intended theoretical value of 1.44. * IXGBE_BT2KB added 1023 to account for rounding however this really should be 8 * 1023 - 1 to account for division by 8k. * x2 multiplication of max frame in DV calculations to account for updated hardware recommendations. With this patch the DV values are inline with the recommendations in the 82599 and 82598 data sheets. Its worth noting I did not see any dropped frames with flow control on in my experiments without this patch. However aligning with the hardware specs and recommendations seems like a good idea here to account for worst case scenarios.

2012-06-12bonding: Fix corrupted queue_mappingEric Dumazet
In the transmit path of the bonding driver, skb->cb is used to stash the skb->queue_mapping so that the bonding device can set its own queue mapping. This value becomes corrupted since the skb->cb is also used in __dev_xmit_skb. When transmitting through bonding driver, bond_select_queue is called from dev_queue_xmit. In bond_select_queue the original skb->queue_mapping is copied into skb->cb (via bond_queue_mapping) and skb->queue_mapping is overwritten with the bond driver queue. Subsequently in dev_queue_xmit, __dev_xmit_skb is called which writes the packet length into skb->cb, thereby overwriting the stashed queue mappping. In bond_dev_queue_xmit (called from hard_start_xmit), the queue mapping for the skb is set to the stashed value which is now the skb length and hence is an invalid queue for the slave device. If we want to save skb->queue_mapping into skb->cb[], best place is to add a field in struct qdisc_skb_cb, to make sure it wont conflict with other layers (eg : Qdiscc, Infiniband...) This patchs also makes sure (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data is aligned on 8 bytes : netem qdisc for example assumes it can store an u64 in it, without misalignment penalty. Note : we only have 20 bytes left in (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data[]. The largest user is CHOKe and it fills it. Based on a previous patch from Tom Herbert.

2012-06-12ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8Thomas Graf
Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider packets from that address block martian when routing and do not process corresponding ARP requests. This is a sane default but renders a huge address space practically unuseable. The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests behind a load balancer. This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet' enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing of ARP requests on a specific interface. Note that for the feature to work, the default local route covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed. Example: $ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1 $ ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0 $ ip route flush cache V2: Fix invalid check to auto flush cache (thanks davem) Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-06-11mwifiex: scan less channels per scan command to improve Tx trafficAmitkumar Karwar
Currently 4 channels are scanned per scan command. if scan request is issued by user during Tx traffic, radio will be out of channel for "4 * per_chan_scan_time" for each scan command and will not be able to receive Rx packets. This adds delay in data traffic. We can minimize it by reducing number of channels scanned per scan command in this scenario. We can not always scan 1 channel per scan command due to limitation of number of command buffers. So we add code to decide number of channels scanned per scan command in associated state.

2012-06-11mwifiex: fix simultaneous scan and Tx traffic problemAmitkumar Karwar
If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running, driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic there is a delay for Tx packets. This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by 20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will be aborted.
