tcp_splice_read() doesnt take into account socket's O_NONBLOCK flag
Before this patch :
splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE);
causes a random endless block (if pipe is full) and
splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK);
will return 0 immediately if the TCP buffer is empty.
User application has no way to instruct splice() that socket should be in blocking mode
but pipe in nonblock more.
Many projects cannot use splice(tcp -> pipe) because of this flaw.
http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=history;f=source3/lib/recvfile.c;h=ea0159642137390a0f7e57a123684e6e63e47581;hb=HEAD
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0807.2/0687.html
Linus introduced SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK in commit 29e350944fdc2dfca102500790d8ad6d6ff4f69d
(splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag )
It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the
actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they
have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations
nonblocking.
Linus intention was clear : let SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK control the splice pipe mode only
This patch instruct tcp_splice_read() to use the underlying file O_NONBLOCK
flag, as other socket operations do.
Users will then call :
splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK );
to block on data coming from socket (if file is in blocking mode),
and not block on pipe output (to avoid deadlock)

This patch against v2.6.31 adds support for route lookup using sk_mark in some
more places. The benefits from this patch are the following.
First, SO_MARK option now has effect on UDP sockets too.
Second, ip_queue_xmit() and inet_sk_rebuild_header() could fail to do routing
lookup correctly if TCP sockets with SO_MARK were used.

Acknowledge TCP window scale support by inserting the proper option in SYN/ACK
and SYN headers even if our window scale is zero.
This fixes the following observed behavior:
1. Client sends a SYN with TCP window scaling option and non zero window scale
value to a Linux box.
2. Linux box notes large receive window from client.
3. Linux decides on a zero value of window scale for its part.
4. Due to compare against requested window scale size option, Linux does not to
send windows scale TCP option header on SYN/ACK at all.
With the following result:
Client box thinks TCP window scaling is not supported, since SYN/ACK had no
TCP window scale option, while Linux thinks that TCP window scaling is
supported (and scale might be non zero), since SYN had TCP window scale
option and we have a mismatched idea between the client and server
regarding window sizes.
Probably it also fixes up the following bug (not observed in practice):
1. Linux box opens TCP connection to some server.
2. Linux decides on zero value of window scale.
3. Due to compare against computed window scale size option, Linux does
not to set windows scale TCP option header on SYN.
With the expected result that the server OS does not use window scale option
due to not receiving such an option in the SYN headers, leading to suboptimal
performance.

After last pktgen changes, delay handling is wrong.
pktgen actually sends packets at full line speed.
Fix is to update pkt_dev->next_tx even if spin() returns early,
so that next spin() calls have a chance to see a positive delay.

Since commit 9b22ea560957de1484e6b3e8538f7eef202e3596
( net: fix packet socket delivery in rx irq handler )
We lost rx timestamping of packets received on accelerated vlans.
Effect is that tcpdump on real dev can show strange timings, since it gets rx timestamps
too late (ie at skb dequeueing time, not at skb queueing time)

When requesting all prl entries (kprl.addr == INADDR_ANY) and there are

Consider the following step-by step:
1. A STA authenticates and associates with the AP and exchanges
traffic.
2. The STA reports to the AP that it is going to PS state.
3. Some time later the STA device goes to the stand-by mode (not only
its wi-fi card, but the device itself) and drops the association state
without sending a disassociation frame.
4. The STA device wakes up and begins authentication with an
Auth frame as it hasn't been authenticated/associated previously.
At the step 4 the AP "remembers" the STA and considers it is still in
the PS state, so the AP buffers frames, which it has to send to the STA.
But the STA isn't actually in the PS state and so it neither checks
TIM bits nor reports to the AP that it isn't power saving.
Because of that authentication/[re]association fails.
To fix authentication/[re]association stage of this issue, Auth, Assoc
Resp and Reassoc Resp frames are transmitted disregarding of STA's power
saving state.
N.B. This patch doesn't fix further data frame exchange after
authentication/[re]association. A patch in hostapd is required to fix
that.

The move away from having drivers assign wireless handlers,
in favour of making cfg80211 assign them, broke the sysfs
registration (the wireless/ dir went missing) because the
handlers are now assigned only after registration, which is
too late.
Fix this by special-casing cfg80211-based devices, all
of which are required to have an ieee80211_ptr, in the
sysfs code, and also using get_wireless_stats() to have
the same values reported as in procfs.

Multiple problems were reported due to interaction
between wpa_supplicant and the wext compat code in
cfg80211, which appear to be due to it not getting
any bss pointer here when wpa_supplicant sets all
parameters -- do that now. We should still get the
bss after doing an extra scan, but that appears to
increase the time we need for connecting enough to
sometimes cause timeouts.

The sys_socketcall() function has a very clever system for the copy
size of its arguments. Unfortunately, gcc cannot deal with this in
terms of proving that the copy_from_user() is then always in bounds.
This is the last (well 9th of this series, but last in the kernel) such
case around.
With this patch, we can turn on code to make having the boundary provably
right for the whole kernel, and detect introduction of new security
accidents of this type early on.

While the code does not actually break anything, it does not completely follow
RFC5214 yet. After talking back with Fred L. Templin, I agree that completing the
ISATAP specific RS/RA code, would pollute the kernel a lot with code that is better

It seems recursion field from "struct ip_tunnel" is not anymore needed.
recursion prevention is done at the upper level (in dev_queue_xmit()),

This avoids a cache line ping pong on "struct ip_tunnel" : This structure

[[resending with correct cc: - "vfs.kernel.org" just isn't right!]]
xprt->reestablish_timeout is used to cause TCP connection attempts to
back off if the connection fails so as not to hammer the network,
but to still allow immediate connections when there is no reason to
believe there is a problem.
It is not used for the first connection (when transport->sock is NULL)
but only on reconnects.
It is currently set:
a/ to 0 when xs_tcp_state_change finds a state of TCP_FIN_WAIT1
on the assumption that the client has closed the connection
so the reconnect should be immediate when needed.
b/ to at least XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO when xs_tcp_state_change
detects TCP_CLOSING or TCP_CLOSE_WAIT on the assumption that the
server closed the connection so a small delay at least is
required.
c/ as above when xs_tcp_state_change detects TCP_SYN_SENT, so that
it is never 0 while a connection has been attempted, else
the doubling will produce 0 and there will be no backoff.
d/ to double is value (up to a limit) when delaying a connection,
thus providing exponential backoff and
e/ to XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO in xs_setup_tcp as simple initialisation.
So you can see it is highly dependant on xs_tcp_state_change being
called as expected. However experimental evidence shows that
xs_tcp_state_change does not see all state changes.
("rpcdebug -m rpc trans" can help show what actually happens).
Results show:
TCP_ESTABLISHED is reported when a connection is made. TCP_SYN_SENT
is never reported, so rule 'c' above is never effective.
When the server closes the connection, TCP_CLOSE_WAIT and
TCP_LAST_ACK *might* be reported, and TCP_CLOSE is always
reported. This rule 'b' above will sometimes be effective, but
not reliably.
When the client closes the connection, it used to result in
TCP_FIN_WAIT1, TCP_FIN_WAIT2, TCP_CLOSE. However since commit
f75e674 (SUNRPC: Fix the problem of EADDRNOTAVAIL syslog floods on
reconnect) we don't see *any* events on client-close. I think this
is because xs_restore_old_callbacks is called to disconnect
xs_tcp_state_change before the socket is closed.
In any case, rule 'a' no longer applies.
So all that is left are rule d, which successfully doubles the
timeout which is never rest, and rule e which initialises the timeout.
Even if the rules worked as expected, there would be a problem because
a successful connection does not reset the timeout, so a sequence
of events where the server closes the connection (e.g. during failover
testing) will cause longer and longer timeouts with no good reason.
This patch:
- sets reestablish_timeout to 0 in xs_close thus effecting rule 'a'
- sets it to 0 in xs_tcp_data_ready to ensure that a successful
connection resets the timeout
- sets it to at least XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO after it is doubled,
thus effecting rule c
I have not reimplemented rule b and the new version of rule c
seems sufficient.
I suspect other code in xs_tcp_data_ready needs to be revised as well.
For example I don't think connect_cookie is being incremented as often
as it should be.

When cfg80211 is instructed to connect, it always
uses the default WEP key for the privacy setting,
which clearly is wrong when using wpa_supplicant.
Don't overwrite the setting, and rely on it being
false when wpa_supplicant is not running, instead
set it to true when we have keys.

When the DTIM setting is read from beacons, mac80211 will
assume it is 1 if the TIM IE is not present or the value
is 0. This sounds fine, but the same function processes
probe responses as well, which don't have a TIM IE. This
leads to overwriting any values previously parsed out of
beacon frames.
Thus, instead of checking for the presence of the TIM IE
when setting the default, simply check whether the DTIM
period value is valid already. If the TIM IE is not there
then the value cannot be valid (it is initialised to 0)
and probe responses received after beacons will not lead
to overwriting an already valid value.

There's a check saying
/* we're good if we have both BSSID and channel */
if (wdev->conn->params.bssid && wdev->conn->params.channel) {
but that isn't true -- we need the BSS struct. This leads
to errors such as
Trying to associate with 00:1b:53:11:dc:40 (SSID='TEST' freq=2412 MHz)
ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: No such file or directory
ioctl[SIOCSIWESSID]: No such file or directory
Association request to the driver failed
Associated with 00:1b:53:11:dc:40
in wpa_supplicant, as reported by Holger.
Instead, we really need to have the BSS struct, and if we
don't, then we need to initiate a scan for it. But we may
already have the BSS struct here, so hang on to it if we
do and scan if we don't.
