2010-11-24cfg80211/mac80211: improve ad-hoc multicast rate handlingFelix Fietkau
- store the multicast rate as an index instead of the rate value (reduces cpu overhead in a hotpath) - validate the rate values (must match a bitrate in at least one sband) Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-11-24mac80211: probe the AP when resumingFelix Fietkau
Check the connection by probing the AP (either using nullfunc or a probe request). If nullfunc probing is supported and the assoc is no longer valid, the AP will send a disassoc/deauth immediately.

2010-11-24mac80211: calculate beacon loss time accuratelyFelix Fietkau
Instead of using a fixed 2 second timeout, calculate beacon loss interval from the advertised beacon interval and a frame count. With this beacon loss happens after N (default 7) consecutive frames are missed which for a typical setup (100TU beacon interval) is ~700ms (or ~1/3 previous).

2010-11-24xps: Transmit Packet SteeringTom Herbert
This patch implements transmit packet steering (XPS) for multiqueue devices. XPS selects a transmit queue during packet transmission based on configuration. This is done by mapping the CPU transmitting the packet to a queue. This is the transmit side analogue to RPS-- where RPS is selecting a CPU based on receive queue, XPS selects a queue based on the CPU (previously there was an XPS patch from Eric Dumazet, but that might more appropriately be called transmit completion steering). Each transmit queue can be associated with a number of CPUs which will use the queue to send packets. This is configured as a CPU mask on a per queue basis in: /sys/class/net/eth<n>/queues/tx-<n>/xps_cpus The mappings are stored per device in an inverted data structure that maps CPUs to queues. In the netdevice structure this is an array of num_possible_cpu structures where each structure holds and array of queue_indexes for queues which that CPU can use. The benefits of XPS are improved locality in the per queue data structures. Also, transmit completions are more likely to be done nearer to the sending thread, so this should promote locality back to the socket on free (e.g. UDP). The benefits of XPS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application load, and other factors. XPS would nominally be configured so that a queue would only be shared by CPUs which are sharing a cache, the degenerative configuration woud be that each CPU has it's own queue. Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of this patch. The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp. bnx2x on 16 core AMD XPS (16 queues, 1 TX queue per CPU) 1234K at 100% CPU No XPS (16 queues) 996K at 100% CPU Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-11-24xps: Improvements in TX queue selectionTom Herbert
In dev_pick_tx, don't do work in calculating queue index or setting the index in the sock unless the device has more than one queue. This allows the sock to be set only with a queue index of a multi-queue device which is desirable if device are stacked like in a tunnel. We also allow the mapping of a socket to queue to be changed. To maintain in order packet transmission a flag (ooo_okay) has been added to the sk_buff structure. If a transport layer sets this flag on a packet, the transmit queue can be changed for the socket. Presumably, the transport would set this if there was no possbility of creating OOO packets (for instance, there are no packets in flight for the socket). This patch includes the modification in TCP output for setting this flag. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Lower SCM_MAX_FD from 255 to 253 so that allocations for scm_fp_list are halved.

2010-11-22mac80211: Disable hw crypto for GTKs on AP VLAN interfacesHelmut Schaa
When using AP VLAN interfaces, each VLAN interface should be in its own broadcast domain. Hostapd achieves this by assigning different GTKs to different AP VLAN interfaces. However, mac80211 drivers are not aware of AP VLAN interfaces and as such mac80211 sends the GTK to the driver in the context of the base AP mode interface. This causes problems when multiple AP VLAN interfaces are used since the driver will use the same key slot for the different GTKs (there's no way for the driver to distinguish the different GTKs from different AP VLAN interfaces). Thus, only the clients associated to one AP VLAN interface (the one that was created last) can actually use broadcast traffic. Fix this by not programming any GTKs for AP VLAN interfaces into the hw but fall back to using software crypto. The GTK for the underlying AP interface is still sent to the driver. That means, broadcast traffic to stations associated to an AP VLAN interface is encrypted in software whereas broadcast traffic to stations associated to the non-VLAN AP interface is encrypted in hardware.

2010-11-22cfg80211: Fix regulatory bug with multiple cards and delaysLuis R. Rodriguez
When two cards are connected with the same regulatory domain if CRDA had a delayed response then cfg80211's own set regulatory domain would still be the world regulatory domain. There was a bug on cfg80211's logic such that it assumed that once you pegged a request as the last request it was already the currently set regulatory domain. This would mean we would race setting a stale regulatory domain to secondary cards which had the same regulatory domain since the alpha2 would match. We fix this by processing each regulatory request atomically, and only move on to the next one once we get it fully processed. In the case CRDA is not present we will simply world roam. This issue is only present when you have a slow system and the CRDA processing is delayed. Because of this it is not a known regression. Without this fix when a delay is present with CRDA the second card would end up with an intersected regulatory domain and not allow it to use the channels it really is designed for. When two cards with two different regulatory domains were inserted you'd end up rejecting the second card's regulatory domain request. This fails with mac80211_hswim's regtest=2 (two requests, same alpha2) and regtest=3 (two requests, different alpha2) module parameter options. This was reproduced and tested against mac80211_hwsim using this CRDA delayer: #!/bin/bash echo $COUNTRY >> /tmp/log sleep 2 /sbin/crda.orig And these regulatory tests: modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=2 modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=3 Reported-by: Mark Mentovai <mark@moxienet.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2010-11-19filter: optimize sk_run_filterEric Dumazet
Remove pc variable to avoid arithmetic to compute fentry at each filter instruction. Jumps directly manipulate fentry pointer. As the last instruction of filter[] is guaranteed to be a RETURN, and all jumps are before the last instruction, we dont need to check filter bounds (number of instructions in filter array) at each iteration, so we remove it from sk_run_filter() params. On x86_32 remove f_k var introduced in commit 57fe93b374a6b871 (filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory) Note : We could use a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{FEW|MANY}_REGISTERS in order to avoid too many ifdefs in this code. This helps compiler to use cpu registers to hold fentry and A accumulator. On x86_32, this saves 401 bytes, and more important, sk_run_filter() runs much faster because less register pressure (One less conditional branch per BPF instruction) # size net/core/filter.o net/core/filter_pre.o text data bss dec hex filename 2948 0 0 2948 b84 net/core/filter.o 3349 0 0 3349 d15 net/core/filter_pre.o on x86_64 : # size net/core/filter.o net/core/filter_pre.o text data bss dec hex filename 5173 0 0 5173 1435 net/core/filter.o 5224 0 0 5224 1468 net/core/filter_pre.o Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Changli Gao <xiaosuo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
