Removed the statements about ARP cache size as this config option does not affect it. The cache size is controlled by neigh_table gc thresholds. Remove also expiremental and obsolete markings as the API originally intended for arp caching is useful for implementing ARP-like protocols (e.g. NHRP) in user space and has been there for a long enough time.

2009-06-13netfilter: conntrack: optional reliable conntrack event deliveryPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch improves ctnetlink event reliability if one broadcast listener has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option. The logic is the following: if an event delivery fails, we keep the undelivered events in the missed event cache. Once the next packet arrives, we add the new events (if any) to the missed events in the cache and we try a new delivery, and so on. Thus, if ctnetlink fails to deliver an event, we try to deliver them once we see a new packet. Therefore, we may lose state transitions but the userspace process gets in sync at some point. At worst case, if no events were delivered to userspace, we make sure that destroy events are successfully delivered. Basically, if ctnetlink fails to deliver the destroy event, we remove the conntrack entry from the hashes and we insert them in the dying list, which contains inactive entries. Then, the conntrack timer is added with an extra grace timeout of random32() % 15 seconds to trigger the event again (this grace timeout is tunable via /proc). The use of a limited random timeout value allows distributing the "destroy" resends, thus, avoiding accumulating lots "destroy" events at the same time. Event delivery may re-order but we can identify them by means of the tuple plus the conntrack ID. The maximum number of conntrack entries (active or inactive) is still handled by nf_conntrack_max. Thus, we may start dropping packets at some point if we accumulate a lot of inactive conntrack entries that did not successfully report the destroy event to userspace. During my stress tests consisting of setting a very small buffer of 2048 bytes for conntrackd and the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag, and generating lots of very small connections, I noticed very few destroy entries on the fly waiting to be resend. A simple way to test this patch consist of creating a lot of entries, set a very small Netlink buffer in conntrackd (+ a patch which is not in the git tree to set the BROADCAST_ERROR flag) and invoke `conntrack -F'. For expectations, no changes are introduced in this patch. Currently, event delivery is only done for new expectations (no events from expectation expiration, removal and confirmation). In that case, they need a per-expectation event cache to implement the same idea that is exposed in this patch. This patch can be useful to provide reliable flow-accouting. We still have to add a new conntrack extension to store the creation and destroy time. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2009-06-13netfilter: conntrack: move event caching to conntrack extension infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso
This patch reworks the per-cpu event caching to use the conntrack extension infrastructure. The main drawback is that we consume more memory per conntrack if event delivery is enabled. This patch is required by the reliable event delivery that follows to this patch. BTW, this patch allows you to enable/disable event delivery via /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_events in runtime, although you can still disable event caching as compilation option.

2009-06-13netfilter: nf_conntrack: use mod_timer_pending() for conntrack refreshPatrick McHardy
Use mod_timer_pending() instead of atomic sequence of del_timer()/ add_timer(). mod_timer_pending() does not rearm an inactive timer, so we don't need the conntrack lock anymore to make sure we don't accidentally rearm a timer of a conntrack which is in the process of being destroyed. With this change, we don't need to take the global lock anymore at all, counter updates can be performed under the per-conntrack lock. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2009-06-11[PATCH] net core: Some interface flags not returned by SIOCGIFFLAGSJohn Dykstra
Commit b00055aacdb172c05067612278ba27265fcd05ce " [NET] core: add RFC2863 operstate" defined new interface flag values. Its documentation specified that these flags could be accessed from user space via SIOCGIFFLAGS. However, this does not work because the new flags do not fit in that ioctl's argument width. Change the documentation to match the code's behavior. Also change the source to explicitly show the truncation. This _should_ have no effect on executable code, and did not with gcc 4.2.4 generating x86 code. A new ioctl could be defined to return all interface flags to user space. However, since this has been broken for three years with no one complaining, there doesn't seem much need. They are still accessible via netlink.

2009-06-11neigh: fix state transition INCOMPLETE->FAILED via Netlink requestTimo Teras
The current code errors out the INCOMPLETE neigh entry skb queue only from the timer if maximum probes have been attempted and there has been no reply. This also causes the transtion to FAILED state. However, the neigh entry can be also updated via Netlink to inform that the address is unavailable. Currently, neigh_update() just stops the timers and leaves the pending skb's unreleased. This results that the clean up code in the timer callback is never called, preventing also proper garbage collection. This fixes neigh_update() to process the pending skb queue immediately if INCOMPLETE -> FAILED state transtion occurs due to a Netlink request.

2009-06-11net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each txEric Dumazet
One of the problem with sock memory accounting is it uses a pair of sock_hold()/sock_put() for each transmitted packet. This slows down bidirectional flows because the receive path also needs to take a refcount on socket and might use a different cpu than transmit path or transmit completion path. So these two atomic operations also trigger cache line bounces. We can see this in tx or tx/rx workloads (media gateways for example), where sock_wfree() can be in top five functions in profiles. We use this sock_hold()/sock_put() so that sock freeing is delayed until all tx packets are completed. As we also update sk_wmem_alloc, we could offset sk_wmem_alloc by one unit at init time, until sk_free() is called. Once sk_free() is called, we atomic_dec_and_test(sk_wmem_alloc) to decrement initial offset and atomicaly check if any packets are in flight. skb_set_owner_w() doesnt call sock_hold() anymore sock_wfree() doesnt call sock_put() anymore, but check if sk_wmem_alloc reached 0 to perform the final freeing. Drawback is that a skb->truesize error could lead to unfreeable sockets, or even worse, prematurely calling __sk_free() on a live socket. Nice speedups on SMP. tbench for example, going from 2691 MB/s to 2711 MB/s on my 8 cpu dev machine, even if tbench was not really hitting sk_refcnt contention point. 5 % speedup on a UDP transmit workload (depends on number of flows), lowering TX completion cpu usage.

2009-06-10cfg80211: fix rfkill locking problemJohannes Berg
rfkill currently requires a global lock within the rfkill_register() function, and holds that lock over calls to the set_block() methods. This means that we cannot hold a lock around rfkill_register() that we also require in set_block(), directly or indirectly.

2009-06-10mac80211: disable moving between PS modes during scanLuis R. Rodriguez
We don't want to trigger moving between PS mode during scan, because then we will sometimes end up sending nullfunc frames during scan. We're supposed to only send one prior to scan and after scan. This fixes an oops which occured due to an assert in ath9k: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124277331319024 The assert was happening because the rate control algorithm figures it should find at least one valid dual stream or single stream rate. Since we allow mac80211 to send nullfunc frames during scan and dynamic PS was enabled at times we ended up trying to send nullfunc frames for the target sta on the wrong band for which we have no valid rate to communicate with it. This breaks the assumptions in rate control. We determine we also need to disable moving between PS modes when not associated so lets just add that now as well, and we should not have a ps_sdata when that interface cannot actually go into PS because it's not associated.

2009-06-10rfkill: remove set_global_sw_stateAlan Jenkins
rfkill_set_global_sw_state() (previously rfkill_set_default()) will no longer be exported by the rewritten rfkill core. Instead, platform drivers which can provide persistent soft-rfkill state across power-down/reboot should indicate their initial state by calling rfkill_set_sw_state() before registration. Otherwise, they will be initialized to a default value during registration by a set_block call. We remove existing calls to rfkill_set_sw_state() which happen before registration, since these had no effect in the old model. If these drivers do have persistent state, the calls can be put back (subject to testing :-). This affects hp-wmi and acer-wmi. Drivers with persistent state will affect the global state only if rfkill-input is enabled. This is required, otherwise booting with wireless soft-blocked and pressing the wireless-toggle key once would have no apparent effect. This special case will be removed in future along with rfkill-input, in favour of a more flexible userspace daemon (see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt). Now rfkill_global_states[n].def is only used to preserve global states over EPO, it is renamed to ".sav".

2009-06-10mac80211: do not pass PS frames out of mac80211 againJohannes Berg
In order to handle powersave frames properly we had needed to pass these out to the device queues again, and introduce the skb->requeue bit. This, however, also has unnecessary overhead by needing to 'clean up' already tried frames, and this clean-up code is also buggy when software encryption is used. Instead of sending the frames via the master netdev queue again, simply put them into the pending queue.

2009-06-10mac80211: fix minstrel single-rate memory corruptionBob Copeland
The minstrel rate controller periodically looks up rate indexes in a sampling table. When accessing a specific row and column, minstrel correctly does a bounds check which, on the surface, appears to handle the case where mi->n_rates < 2. However, mi->sample_idx is actually defined as an unsigned, so the right hand side is taken to be a huge positive number when negative, and the check will always fail. Consequently, the RC will overrun the array and cause random memory corruption when communicating with a peer that has only a single rate. The max value of mi->sample_idx is around 25 so casting to int should have no ill effects. Without the change, uptime is a few minutes under load with an AP that has a single hard-coded rate, and both the AP and STA could potentially crash. With the change, both lasted 12 hours with a steady load. Thanks to Ognjen Maric for providing the single-rate clue so I could reproduce this.

2009-06-10netfilter: nf_conntrack: use per-conntrack locks for protocol dataPatrick McHardy
Introduce per-conntrack locks and use them instead of the global protocol locks to avoid contention. Especially tcp_lock shows up very high in profiles on larger machines. This will also allow to simplify the upcoming reliable event delivery patches. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2009-06-10sunrpc/auth_gss: Call rcu_barrier() on module unload.Jesper Dangaard Brouer
As the module uses rcu_call() we should make sure that all rcu callback has been completed before removing the code. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> Acked-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-06-10sctp: protocol.c call rcu_barrier() on unload.Jesper Dangaard Brouer
On module unload call rcu_barrier(), this is needed as synchronize_rcu() is not strong enough. The kmem_cache_destroy() does invoke synchronize_rcu() but it does not provide same protection.

2009-06-108021q: Vlan driver should use rcu_barrier() on unload instead of ↵Jesper Dangaard Brouer
syncronize_net() The VLAN 8021q driver needs to call rcu_barrier() when unloading the module, instead of syncronize_net(). This is needed to make sure that outstanding call_rcu() callbacks have completed, before the callback function code is removed on module unload.

2009-06-09net: add IEEE 802.15.4 socket family implementationSergey Lapin
Add support for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. This implementation is neither certified nor complete, but aims to that goal. This commit contains only the socket interface for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. One can either send RAW datagrams or use SOCK_DGRAM to encapsulate data inside normal IEEE 802.15.4 packets. Configuration interface, drivers and software MAC 802.15.4 implementation will follow. Initial implementation was done by Maxim Gorbachyov, Maxim Osipov and Pavel Smolensky as a research project at Siemens AG. Later the stack was heavily reworked to better suit the linux networking model, and is now maitained as an open project partially sponsored by Siemens.
