2006-03-20[IPV6]: ADDRCONF: Use our standard algorithm for randomized ifid.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki
RFC 3041 describes an algorithm to generate random interface identifier. In RFC 3041bis, it is allowed to use different algorithm than one described in RFC 3041. So, let's use our standard pseudo random algorithm to simplify our implementation. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-03-20SUNRPC: Ensure rpc_call_async() always calls tk_ops->rpc_release()Trond Myklebust
Currently this will not happen if we exit before rpc_new_task() was called. Also fix up rpc_run_task() to do the same (for consistency). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-03-20[PATCH] promiscuous modeSteve Grubb
Hi, When a network interface goes into promiscuous mode, its an important security issue. The attached patch is intended to capture that action and send an event to the audit system. The patch carves out a new block of numbers for kernel detected anomalies. These are events that may indicate suspicious activity. Other examples of potential kernel anomalies would be: exceeding disk quota, rlimit violations, changes to syscall entry table.

2006-03-20SUNRPC: minor cleanupChuck Lever
RPC_DEBUG_DATA no longer needed in net/sunrpc/xprt.c. Test plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-03-20SUNRPC: eliminate rpc_call()Chuck Lever
Clean-up: replace rpc_call() helper with direct call to rpc_call_sync. This makes NFSv2 and NFSv3 synchronous calls more computationally efficient, and reduces stack consumption in functions that used to invoke rpc_call more than once. Test plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Connectathon on NFS version 2, version 3, and version 4 mount points.

2006-03-20SUNRPC: display human-readable procedure name in rpc_iostats outputChuck Lever
Add fields to the rpc_procinfo struct that allow the display of a human-readable name for each procedure in the rpc_iostats output. Also fix it so that the NFSv4 stats are broken up correctly by sub-procedure number. NFSv4 uses only two real RPC procedures: NULL, and COMPOUND. Test plan: Mount with NFSv2, NFSv3, and NFSv4, and do "cat /proc/self/mountstats". Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-03-20SUNRPC: provide a mechanism for collecting stats in the RPC clientChuck Lever
Add a simple mechanism for collecting stats in the RPC client. Stats are tabulated during xprt_release. Note that per_cpu shenanigans are not required here because the RPC client already serializes on the transport write lock. Test plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Basic performance regression testing with high-speed networking and high performance server. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-03-20SUNRPC: introduce per-task RPC iostatsChuck Lever
Account for various things that occur while an RPC task is executed. Separate timers for RPC round trip and RPC execution time show how long RPC requests wait in queue before being sent. Eventually these will be accumulated at xprt_release time in one place where they can be viewed from userland. Test plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled.

2006-03-20SUNRPC: add a handful of per-xprt countersChuck Lever

2006-03-20SUNRPC: Auto-load RPC authentication kernel modulesOlaf Kirch

2006-03-19[AX.25]: Fix potencial memory hole.Ralf Baechle DL5RB
If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3 (or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet. Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported AX.25 dialects. The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.

2006-03-17[PATCH] ieee80211: Don't update network statistics from off-channel packets.James Ketrenos
This patch fixes a problem in the ieee80211 probe response and beacon reception code that would use the packet statistics for a network even if they were received on a channel other than that which the network exists on. This causes a problem in overlapping channels where, for example, a strong AP on channel 2 could have its beacons received on channels 1 and 3, but at much lower signal levels. If scanning was done sequentially, this means the beacon received on channel 3 would update the AP's signal level as being much lower than it really is, which subsequently could cause that AP to be passed over and an alternate AP selected.

Fix QoS is not active even the network and the card is QOS enabled. The problem is we pass the wrong ieee80211_network address to ipw_handle_beacon/ipw_handle_probe_response, thus the ieee80211_network->qos_data.active will not be set, causing the driver not sending QoS frames at all.

2006-03-08[PATCH] fix file countingDipankar Sarma
I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant performance difference on kernbench. Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc. The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched freeing. For scalability reasons, file accounting was constructor/destructor based. This meant that nr_files was decremented only when the object was removed from the slab cache. This is susceptible to slab fragmentation. With RCU based file structure, consequent batched freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up with a very fragmented slab - llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 587730 0 758844 At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache. The following patch I fixes this problem. This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock. Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api. In the sysctl handler for nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user. Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU. Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Paul E.
