2010-05-17net: implements ip_route_input_noref()Eric Dumazet
ip_route_input() is the version returning a refcounted dst, while ip_route_input_noref() returns a non refcounted one. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-05-17net: add a noref bit on skb dstEric Dumazet
Use low order bit of skb->_skb_dst to tell dst is not refcounted. Change _skb_dst to _skb_refdst to make sure all uses are catched. skb_dst() returns the dst, regardless of noref bit set or not, but with a lockdep check to make sure a noref dst is not given if current user is not rcu protected. New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb. (with lockdep check) skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted. skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb is queued and not anymore RCU protected. Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if !IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue(). Use skb_dst_force() in dev_requeue_skb(). Note: dst_use_noref() still dirties dst, we might transform it later to do one dirtying per jiffies.

2010-05-16rtnetlink: make SR-IOV VF interface symmetricChris Wright
Now we have a set of nested attributes: IFLA_VFINFO_LIST (NESTED) IFLA_VF_INFO (NESTED) IFLA_VF_MAC IFLA_VF_VLAN IFLA_VF_TX_RATE This allows a single set to operate on multiple attributes if desired. Among other things, it means a dump can be replayed to set state. The current interface has yet to be released, so this seems like something to consider for 2.6.34.

2010-05-16net: Introduce sk_route_nocapsEric Dumazet
TCP-MD5 sessions have intermittent failures, when route cache is invalidated. ip_queue_xmit() has to find a new route, calls sk_setup_caps(sk, &rt->u.dst), destroying the sk->sk_route_caps &= ~NETIF_F_GSO_MASK that MD5 desperately try to make all over its way (from tcp_transmit_skb() for example) So we send few bad packets, and everything is fine when tcp_transmit_skb() is called again for this socket. Since ip_queue_xmit() is at a lower level than TCP-MD5, I chose to use a socket field, sk_route_nocaps, containing bits to mask on sk_route_caps.

2010-05-15net: Consistent skb timestampingEric Dumazet
With RPS inclusion, skb timestamping is not consistent in RX path. If netif_receive_skb() is used, its deferred after RPS dispatch. If netif_rx() is used, its done before RPS dispatch. This can give strange tcpdump timestamps results. I think timestamping should be done as soon as possible in the receive path, to get meaningful values (ie timestamps taken at the time packet was delivered by NIC driver to our stack), even if NAPI already can defer timestamping a bit (RPS can help to reduce the gap) Tom Herbert prefer to sample timestamps after RPS dispatch. In case sampling is expensive (HPET/acpi_pm on x86), this makes sense. Let admins switch from one mode to another, using a new sysctl, /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_tstamp_prequeue Its default value (1), means timestamps are taken as soon as possible, before backlog queueing, giving accurate timestamps. Setting a 0 value permits to sample timestamps when processing backlog, after RPS dispatch, to lower the load of the pre-RPS cpu.

2010-05-11revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commitsRobin Holt
Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the stack. Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was applied to fix the NO_MMU case. Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded. Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a userland stack address. Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages being used to solve a significant performance regression. This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches. The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack space a thread has. Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64 gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific. I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort, I decided to not change mm/Makefile. I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in place as that seemed worthwhile.

2010-05-11ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tablesPatrick McHardy
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances, named "tables". Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT6_TABLE. The table number is stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ip6mr setsockopt(), getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT6_TABLE_DFLT) is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pim6reg devices have the table number appended ("pim6regX"), with the exception of devices created in the default table, which are named just "pim6reg" for compatibility reasons. Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules, similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported additionally. Example usage: - bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table: uint32_t table = 123; setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, MRT6_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table)); - create routing rules directing packets to the new table: # ip -6 mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123 # ip -6 mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

Having a single shared queue for all these users seems to excessive, move the queue and the cleanup timer to the per-namespace data to unshare it.

2010-05-10Bluetooth: Fix race condition on l2cap_ertm_send()Gustavo F. Padovan
l2cap_ertm_send() can be called both from user context and bottom half context. The socket locks for that contexts are different, the user context uses a mutex(which can sleep) and the second one uses a spinlock_bh. That creates a race condition when we have interruptions on both contexts at the same time. The better way to solve this is to add a new spinlock to lock l2cap_ertm_send() and the vars it access. The other solution was to defer l2cap_ertm_send() with a workqueue, but we the sending process already has one defer on the hci layer. It's not a good idea add another one. The patch refactor the code to create l2cap_retransmit_frames(), then we encapulate the lock of l2cap_ertm_send() for some call. It also changes l2cap_retransmit_frame() to l2cap_retransmit_one_frame() to avoid confusion Signed-off-by: Gustavo F.

2010-05-07mac80211: improve HT channel handlingJohannes Berg
Currently, when one interface switches HT mode, all others will follow along. This is clearly undesirable, since the new one might switch to no-HT while another one is operating in HT. Address this issue by keeping track of the HT mode per interface, and allowing only changes that are compatible, i.e. switching into HT40+ is not possible when another interface is in HT40-, in that case the second one needs to fall back to HT20. Also, to allow drivers to know what's going on, store the per-interface HT mode (channel type) in the virtual interface's bss_conf.

2010-05-07cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handlingJohannes Berg
Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid things like setting up an AP on a certain channel, then adding another virtual interface and making that associate on another channel -- this will make the beaconing to move channel but obviously without the necessary IEs data update. In order to improve this situation, first make the configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need that in the future anyway. There's one userland API change and one API addition. The API change is that now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface index rather than only wiphy index in order to take effect for that interface -- luckily all current users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the old setting is preserved, but monitors are always slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees. The second userland API change is the introduction of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that hostapd should use going forward to make it easier to understand what's going on (it can automatically detect a kernel with this command). Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers are affected by this change because they only allow a single virtual interface. mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the channel settings are per interface now, and needs to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation, which is another important part of this patch. One of the immediate benefits is that you can now start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already has a connection on another virtual interface, as long as you specify the same channel. Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an improvement -- not a complete fix): * different HT/no-HT modes currently you could start an HT AP and then connect to a non-HT network on the same channel which would configure the hardware for no HT; that can be fixed fairly easily * CSA An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface might indicate switching channels, and in that case we would follow it, regardless of how many other interfaces are operating; this requires more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-05-07mac80211: fix BSS info reconfigurationJohannes Berg
When reconfiguring an interface due to a previous hardware restart, mac80211 will currently include the new IBSS flag on non-IBSS interfaces which may confuse drivers. Instead of doing the ~0 trick, simply spell out which things are going to be reconfigured. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-05-06net: Increase NET_SKB_PAD to 64 bytesEric Dumazet
eth_type_trans() & get_rps_cpus() currently need two 64bytes cache lines in packet to compute rxhash. Increasing NET_SKB_PAD from 32 to 64 reduces the need to one cache line only, and makes RPS faster.
