2010-07-02net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdiscJohn Fastabend
Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can be sent to the underlying driver. The flow for this is, dev_queue_xmit() dev_pick_tx() skb_tx_hash() => hash using real_num_tx_queues skb_set_queue_mapping() ... qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash ... dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n ... sch_direct_xmit() dev_hard_start_xmit() ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set 0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues. When the driver decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues. This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to rings that no longer exist.

add fast path for in-order fragments As the fragments are sent in order in most of OSes, such as Windows, Darwin and FreeBSD, it is likely the new fragments are at the end of the inet_frag_queue.

2010-06-30snmp: 64bit ipstats_mib for all archesEric Dumazet
/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.

2010-06-21mac80211: Add interface for driver to temporarily disable dynamic psJuuso Oikarinen
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.

2010-06-17netfilter: nf_nat: support user-specified SNAT rules in LOCAL_INPatrick McHardy
2.6.34 introduced 'conntrack zones' to deal with cases where packets from multiple identical networks are handled by conntrack/NAT. Packets are looped through veth devices, during which they are NATed to private addresses, after which they can continue normally through the stack and possibly have NAT rules applied a second time. This works well, but is needlessly complicated for cases where only a single SNAT/DNAT mapping needs to be applied to these packets. In that case, all that needs to be done is to assign each network to a seperate zone and perform NAT as usual. However this doesn't work for packets destined for the machine performing NAT itself since its corrently not possible to configure SNAT mappings for the LOCAL_IN chain. This patch adds a new INPUT chain to the NAT table and changes the targets performing SNAT to be usable in that chain. Example usage with two identical networks (192.168.0.0/24) on eth0/eth1: iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -j CT --zone 1 iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -j MARK --set-mark 1 iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -j CT --zone 2 iptabels -t raw -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -j MARK --set-mark 2 iptables -t nat -A INPUT -m mark --mark 1 -j NETMAP --to 10.0.0.0/24 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m mark --mark 1 -j NETMAP --to 10.0.0.0/24 iptables -t nat -A INPUT -m mark --mark 2 -j NETMAP --to 10.0.1.0/24 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m mark --mark 2 -j NETMAP --to 10.0.1.0/24 iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -d 10.0.0.0/24 -j CT --zone 1 iptables -t raw -A OUTPUT -d 10.0.0.0/24 -j CT --zone 1 iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -d 10.0.1.0/24 -j CT --zone 2 iptables -t raw -A OUTPUT -d 10.0.1.0/24 -j CT --zone 2 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 10.0.0.0/24 -j NETMAP --to 192.168.0.0/24 iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d 10.0.0.0/24 -j NETMAP --to 192.168.0.0/24 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 10.0.1.0/24 -j NETMAP --to 192.168.0.0/24 iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d 10.0.1.0/24 -j NETMAP --to 192.168.0.0/24 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2010-06-16inetpeer: restore small inet_peer structuresEric Dumazet
Addition of rcu_head to struct inet_peer added 16bytes on 64bit arches. Thats a bit unfortunate, since old size was exactly 64 bytes. This can be solved, using an union between this rcu_head an four fields, that are normally used only when a refcount is taken on inet_peer. rcu_head is used only when refcnt=-1, right before structure freeing. Add a inet_peer_refcheck() function to check this assertion for a while. We can bring back SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN qualifier in kmem cache creation.

2010-06-15inetpeer: RCU conversionEric Dumazet
inetpeer currently uses an AVL tree protected by an rwlock. It's possible to make most lookups use RCU 1) Add a struct rcu_head to struct inet_peer 2) add a lookup_rcu_bh() helper to perform lockless and opportunistic lookup. This is a normal function, not a macro like lookup(). 3) Add a limit to number of links followed by lookup_rcu_bh(). This is needed in case we fall in a loop. 4) add an smp_wmb() in link_to_pool() right before node insert. 5) make unlink_from_pool() use atomic_cmpxchg() to make sure it can take last reference to an inet_peer, since lockless readers could increase refcount, even while we hold peers.lock. 6) Delay struct inet_peer freeing after rcu grace period so that lookup_rcu_bh() cannot crash. 7) inet_getpeer() first attempts lockless lookup. Note this lookup can fail even if target is in AVL tree, but a concurrent writer can let tree in a non correct form. If this attemps fails, lock is taken a regular lookup is performed again. 8) convert peers.lock from rwlock to a spinlock 9) Remove SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN when peer_cachep is created, because rcu_head adds 16 bytes on 64bit arches, doubling effective size (64 -> 128 bytes) In a future patch, this is probably possible to revert this part, if rcu field is put in an union to share space with rid, ip_id_count, tcp_ts & tcp_ts_stamp.

2010-06-15mac80211: Fix ps-qos network latency handlingJuuso Oikarinen
The ps-qos latency handling is broken. It uses predetermined latency values to select specific dynamic PS timeouts. With common AP configurations, these values overlap with beacon interval and are therefore essentially useless (for network latencies less than the beacon interval, PSM is disabled.) This patch remedies the problem by replacing the predetermined network latency values with one high value (1900ms) which is used to go trigger full psm. For backwards compatibility, the value 2000ms is still mapped to a dynamic ps timeout of 100ms. Currently also the mac80211 internal value for storing user space configured dynamic PSM values is incorrectly in the driver visible ieee80211_conf struct. Move it to the ieee80211_local struct.

2010-06-14mac80211: remove non-irqsafe aggregation callbacksJohannes Berg
The non-irqsafe aggregation start/stop done callbacks are currently only used by ath9k_htc, and can cause callbacks into the driver again. This might lead to locking issues, which will only get worse as we modify locking. To avoid trouble, remove the non-irqsafe versions and change ath9k_htc to use those instead.

2010-06-11pkt_sched: gen_kill_estimator() rcu fixesEric Dumazet
gen_kill_estimator() API is incomplete or not well documented, since caller should make sure an RCU grace period is respected before freeing stats_lock. This was partially addressed in commit 5d944c640b4 (gen_estimator: deadlock fix), but same problem exist for all gen_kill_estimator() users, if lock they use is not already RCU protected. A code review shows xt_RATEEST.c, act_api.c, act_police.c have this problem. Other are ok because they use qdisc lock, already RCU protected.

2010-06-10ip: ip_ra_control() rcu fixEric Dumazet
commit 66018506e15b (ip: Router Alert RCU conversion) introduced RCU lookups to ip_call_ra_chain(). It missed proper deinit phase : When ip_ra_control() deletes an ip_ra_chain, it should make sure ip_call_ra_chain() users can not start to use socket during the rcu grace period. It should also delay the sock_put() after the grace period, or we risk a premature socket freeing and corruptions, as raw sockets are not rcu protected yet. This delay avoids using expensive atomic_inc_not_zero() in ip_call_ra_chain(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-06-08netfilter: nf_conntrack: IPS_UNTRACKED bitEric Dumazet
NOTRACK makes all cpus share a cache line on nf_conntrack_untracked twice per packet. This is bad for performance. __read_mostly annotation is also a bad choice. This patch introduces IPS_UNTRACKED bit so that we can use later a per_cpu untrack structure more easily. A new helper, nf_ct_untracked_get() returns a pointer to nf_conntrack_untracked. Another one, nf_ct_untracked_status_or() is used by nf_nat_init() to add IPS_NAT_DONE_MASK bits to untracked status. nf_ct_is_untracked() prototype is changed to work on a nf_conn pointer.
