2010-08-31mac80211: cancel scan in ieee80211_restart_hw if software scan pendingJohn W. Linville
This function exists to clean-up after a hardware error or something similar. The restart is accomplished using the same infrastructure used to resume after a suspend. The suspend path cancels running scans, so it seems appropriate to do that here as well for software-based scans. If a hardware-based scan is pending, issue a warning message since this indicates that the drivers has failed to clean-up after itself. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This fixes an issue where the initial CQM events are reported incorrectly with a burst of events while the running average approaches the correct value after the incorrect initialization.

2010-08-30dccp ccid-3: use per-route RTO or TCP RTO as fallbackGerrit Renker
This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN also available to CCID-3, replacing the compile-time RTO lower bound with a per-route tunable value. The original Kconfig option solved the problem that a very low RTT (in the order of HZ) can trigger too frequent and unnecessary reductions of the sending rate. This tunable does not affect the initial RTO value of 2 seconds specified in RFC 5348, section 4.2 and Appendix B. But like the hardcoded Kconfig value, it allows to adapt to network conditions. The same effect as the original Kconfig option of 100ms is now achieved by > ip route replace to unicast 192.168.0.0/24 rto_min 100j dev eth0 (assuming HZ=1000).

2010-08-30dccp ccid-2: Share TCP's minimum RTO codeGerrit Renker
Using a fixed RTO_MIN of 0.2 seconds was found to cause problems for CCID-2 over 802.11g: at least once per session there was a spurious timeout. It helped to then increase the the value of RTO_MIN over this link. Since the problem is the same as in TCP, this patch makes the solution from commit "05bb1fad1cde025a864a90cfeb98dcbefe78a44a" "[TCP]: Allow minimum RTO to be configurable via routing metrics." available to DCCP. This avoids reinventing the wheel, so that e.g. the following works in the expected way now also for CCID-2: > ip route change 10.0.0.2 rto_min 800 dev ath0 Luckily this useful rto_min function was recently moved to net/tcp.h, which simplifies sharing code originating from TCP.

2010-08-30dccp ccid-2: Remove wrappers around sk_{reset,stop}_timer()Gerrit Renker
This removes the wrappers around the sk timer functions, since not much is gained from using them: the BUG_ON in start_rto_timer will never trigger since that function is called only if: * the RTO timer expires (rto_expire, and then timer_pending() is false); * in tx_packet_sent only if !timer_pending() (BUG_ON is redundant here); * previously in new_ack, after stopping the timer (timer_pending() false). Removing the wrappers also clears the way for eventually replacing the RTO timer with the icsk-retransmission-timer, as it is already part of the DCCP socket.

2010-08-30dccp ccid-2: Use u32 timestamps uniformlyGerrit Renker
Since CCID-2 is de facto a mini implementation of TCP, it makes sense to share as much code as possible. Hence this patch aligns CCID-2 timestamping with TCP timestamping. This also halves the space consumption (on 64-bit systems). The necessary include file <net/tcp.h> is already included by way of net/dccp.h. Redundant includes have been removed.

2010-08-30wireless extensions: fix kernel heap content leakJohannes Berg
Wireless extensions have an unfortunate, undocumented requirement which requires drivers to always fill iwp->length when returning a successful status. When a driver doesn't do this, it leads to a kernel heap content leak when userspace offers a larger buffer than would have been necessary. Arguably, this is a driver bug, as it should, if it returns 0, fill iwp->length, even if it separately indicated that the buffer contents was not valid. However, we can also at least avoid the memory content leak if the driver doesn't do this by setting the iwp length to max_tokens, which then reflects how big the buffer is that the driver may fill, regardless of how big the userspace buffer is. To illustrate the point, this patch also fixes a corresponding cfg80211 bug (since this requirement isn't documented nor was ever pointed out by anyone during code review, I don't trust all drivers nor all cfg80211 handlers to implement it correctly).

2010-08-30tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option.Jerry Chu
This patch provides a "user timeout" support as described in RFC793. The socket option is also needed for the the local half of RFC5482 "TCP User Timeout Option". TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int, when > 0, to specify the maximum amount of time in ms that transmitted data may remain unacknowledged before TCP will forcefully close the corresponding connection and return ETIMEDOUT to the application. If 0 is given, TCP will continue to use the system default. Increasing the user timeouts allows a TCP connection to survive extended periods without end-to-end connectivity. Decreasing the user timeouts allows applications to "fail fast" if so desired. Otherwise it may take upto 20 minutes with the current system defaults in a normal WAN environment. The socket option can be made during any state of a TCP connection, but is only effective during the synchronized states of a connection (ESTABLISHED, FIN-WAIT-1, FIN-WAIT-2, CLOSE-WAIT, CLOSING, or LAST-ACK). Moreover, when used with the TCP keepalive (SO_KEEPALIVE) option, TCP_USER_TIMEOUT will overtake keepalive to determine when to close a connection due to keepalive failure. The option does not change in anyway when TCP retransmits a packet, nor when a keepalive probe will be sent. This option, like many others, will be inherited by an acceptor from its listener.

2010-08-30mac80211: delete work timerJohannes Berg
The new workqueue changes helped me find this bug that's been lingering since the changes to the work processing in mac80211 -- the work timer is never deleted properly. Do that to avoid having it fire after all data structures have been freed. It can't be re-armed because all it will do, if running, is schedule the work, but that gets flushed later and won't have anything to do since all work items are gone by now (by way of interface removal).

2010-08-27mac80211: fix offchannel queue stopJohannes Berg
Somebody noticed this problem, and I outlined to them how to fix it, but haven't heard back from them. So while I was adding the state field I figured I could use it to fix it. The problem, as I understand it, is that when we go offchannel while the driver has a queue stopped, the driver will likely start draining the queue and then enable it while offchannel. This in turn will enable the interface queue, and that leads to transmitting data frames on the wrong channel. Fix this by keeping track of offchannel status per interface, and not enabling the interface queues on interfaces that are offchannel when the driver enables a queue.

On x86_64, __napi_gro_receive() has now 38 instructions instead of 53 As gcc-4.4.3 still choose to not inline it, add inline keyword to this performance critical function.

caif does not build on ia64 starting with 2.6.32-rc1. Using asm/unaligned.h instead of linux/unaligned/le_byteshift.h fixes the issue. include/linux/unaligned/le_byteshift.h:40:50: error: redefinition of 'get_unaligned_le16' include/linux/unaligned/le_byteshift.h:45:50: error: redefinition of 'get_unaligned_le32' include/linux/unaligned/le_byteshift.h:50:50: error: redefinition of 'get_unaligned_le64' include/linux/unaligned/le_byteshift.h:55:51: error: redefinition of 'put_unaligned_le16' include/linux/unaligned/le_byteshift.h:60:51: error: redefinition of 'put_unaligned_le32' include/linux/unaligned/le_byteshift.h:65:51: error: redefinition of 'put_unaligned_le64' include/linux/unaligned/le_struct.h:31:51: note: previous definition of 'put_unaligned_le64' was here Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-08-26net: use scnprintf() to avoid potential buffer overflowChangli Gao
strlcpy() returns the total length of the string they tried to create, so we should not use its return value without any check. scnprintf() returns the number of characters written into @buf not including the trailing '\0', so use it instead here.

2010-08-26l2tp: test for ethernet header in l2tp_eth_dev_recv()Eric Dumazet
close https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16529 Before calling dev_forward_skb(), we should make sure skb head contains at least an ethernet header, even if length included in upper layer said so. Use pskb_may_pull() to make sure this ethernet header is present in skb head.
