2008-04-25phylib: Add support for board-level PHY fixupsAndy Fleming
Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY requires special handling. For instance, to change where the PHY's clock input is, or to add a delay to account for latency issues in the data path. We add a mechanism for registering a callback with the PHY Lib to be called on matching PHYs when they are brought up, or reset.

2008-01-28[DCCP]: Support for server holding timewait stateGerrit Renker
This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3. Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled via a socket option. Documentation for this socket option has been added. The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.

2008-01-28[DCCP]: Promote CCID2 as default CCIDGerrit Renker
This patch addresses the following problems: 1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available. Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation. 2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2 (DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID). 3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a `minimum common denominator'; the specification says that: * "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints" * "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2. The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]" Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable. Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added. Discussions with Ian McDonald on this subject are gratefully acknowledged.

2008-01-28[DCCP]: Honour and make use of shutdown option set by userGerrit Renker
This extends the DCCP socket API by honouring any shutdown(2) option set by the user. The behaviour is, as much as possible, made consistent with the API for TCP's shutdown. This patch exploits the information provided by the user via the socket API to reduce processing costs: * if the read end is closed (SHUT_RD), it is not necessary to deliver to input CCID; * if the write end is closed (SHUT_WR), the same idea applies, but with a difference - as long as the TX queue has not been drained, we need to receive feedback to keep congestion-control rates up to date. Hence SHUT_WR is honoured only after the last packet (under congestion control) has been sent; * although SHUT_RDWR seems nonsensical, it is nevertheless supported in the same manner as for TCP (and agrees with test for SHUTDOWN_MASK in dccp_poll() in net/dccp/proto.c). Furthermore, most of the code already honours the sk_shutdown flags (dccp_recvmsg() for instance sets the read length to 0 if SHUT_RD had been called); CCID handling is now added to this by the present patch. There will also no longer be any delivery when the socket is in the final stages, i.e. when one of dccp_close(), dccp_fin(), or dccp_done() has been called - which is fine since at that stage the connection is its final stages. Motivation and background are on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/shutdown A FIXME has been added to notify the other end if SHUT_RD has been set (RFC 4340, 11.7). Note: There is a comment in inet_shutdown() in net/ipv4/af_inet.c which asks to "make sure the socket is a TCP socket". This should probably be extended to mean `TCP or DCCP socket' (the code is also used by UDP and raw sockets).

2007-12-07bonding: Add new layer2+3 hash for xor/802.3ad modesJay Vosburgh
Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Originally submitted by "Glenn Griffin" <ggriffin.kernel@gmail.com>; modified by Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2. Glenn's original comment follows: Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information. This is a middle ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the layer3+4 policy. This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link. As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the layer2 only policy.

2007-10-17KEYS: Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronousDavid Howells
Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for NFS to make use of them. There are now accessor functions that do asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion of construction. Note that the construction queue is now gone. Instead, keys under construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use it. This is done automatically for userspace. The following auxiliary changes are also made: (1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into linux/key-type.h. (2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly. (3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining __KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.

2007-10-10[DCCP]: Rate-limit DCCP-SyncsGerrit Renker
This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4: "To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets, such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second." The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and protects against attacks with forged source addresses. Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets are not supported. This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.) In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended). The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo. Commiter note: Rate limited the step 6 DCCP_WARN too, as it says we're sending a sync.
