2010-04-26mac80211: Fix sta->last_tx_rate setting with no-op rate control devicesJuuso Oikarinen
The sta->last_tx_rate is traditionally updated just before transmitting a frame based on information from the rate control algorithm. However, for hardware drivers with IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL this is not performed, as the rate control algorithm is not executed, and because the used rate is not known before the frame has actually been transmitted. This causes atleast a fixed 1Mb/s to be reported to user space. A few other instances of code also rely on this information. Fix this by setting the sta->last_tx_rate in tx_status handling. There, look for last rates entry set by the driver, and use that as value for sta->last_tx_rate. Signed-off-by: Juuso Oikarinen <juuso.oikarinen@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-04-26net: ipmr: add support for dumping routing tables over netlinkPatrick McHardy
The ipmr /proc interface (ip_mr_cache) can't be extended to dump routes from any tables but the main table in a backwards compatible fashion since the output format ends in a variable amount of output interfaces. Introduce a new netlink interface to dump multicast routes from all tables, similar to the netlink interface for regular routes. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2010-04-26net: rtnetlink: decouple rtnetlink address families from real address familiesPatrick McHardy
Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO. This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table without breaking compatibility. This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values above that may be used arbitrarily. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2010-04-26net: fib_rules: mark arguments to fib_rules_register const and __net_initdataPatrick McHardy

Additionally the templates are only needed when instantiating a new namespace, so mark them as __net_initdata, which means they can be discarded when CONFIG_NET_NS=n.

Add an SKF_AD_HATYPE field to the packet ancilliary data area, giving access to skb->dev->type, as reported in the sll_hatype field. When capturing packets on a PF_PACKET/SOCK_RAW socket bound to all interfaces, there doesn't appear to be a way for the filter program to actually find out the underlying hardware type the packet was captured on.

2010-04-22IPv6: Generic TTL Security Mechanism (final version)Stephen Hemminger
This patch adds IPv6 support for RFC5082 Generalized TTL Security Mechanism. Not to users of mapped address; the IPV6 and IPV4 socket options are seperate. The server does have to deal with both IPv4 and IPv6 socket options and the client has to handle the different for each family. On client: int ttl = 255; getaddrinfo(argv[1], argv[2], &hint, &result); for (rp = result; rp != NULL; rp = rp->ai_next) { s = socket(rp->ai_family, rp->ai_socktype, rp->ai_protocol); if (s < 0) continue; if (rp->ai_family == AF_INET) { setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_TTL, &ttl, sizeof(ttl)); } else if (rp->ai_family == AF_INET6) { setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS, &ttl, sizeof(ttl))) } if (connect(s, rp->ai_addr, rp->ai_addrlen) == 0) { ...

2010-04-22rps: immediate send IPI in process_backlog()Eric Dumazet
If some skb are queued to our backlog, we are delaying IPI sending at the end of net_rx_action(), increasing latencies. This defeats the queueing, since we want to quickly dispatch packets to the pool of worker cpus, then eventually deeply process our packets. It's better to send IPI before processing our packets in upper layers, from process_backlog(). Change the _and_disable_irq suffix to _and_enable_irq(), since we enable local irq in net_rps_action(), sorry for the confusion.

2010-04-21net: ipv6 bind to device issueJiri Olsa
The issue raises when having 2 NICs both assigned the same IPv6 global address. If a sender binds to a particular NIC (SO_BINDTODEVICE), the outgoing traffic is being sent via the first found. The bonded device is thus not taken into an account during the routing. From the ip6_route_output function: If the binding address is multicast, linklocal or loopback, the RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE bit is set, but not for global address. So binding global address will neglect SO_BINDTODEVICE-binded device, because the fib6_rule_lookup function path won't check for the flowi::oif field and take first route that fits.

2010-04-21ipv6: allow to send packet after receiving ICMPv6 Too Big message with MTU ↵Shan Wei
field less than IPV6_MIN_MTU According to RFC2460, PMTU is set to the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU (1280) and a fragment header should always be included after a node receiving Too Big message reporting PMTU is less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU. After receiving a ICMPv6 Too Big message reporting PMTU is less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU, sctp *can't* send any data/control chunk that total length including IPv6 head and IPv6 extend head is less than IPV6_MIN_MTU(1280 bytes). The failure occured in p6_fragment(), about reason see following(take SHUTDOWN chunk for example): sctp_packet_transmit (SHUTDOWN chunk, len=16 byte) |------sctp_v6_xmit (local_df=0) |------ip6_xmit |------ip6_output (dst_allfrag is ture) |------ip6_fragment In ip6_fragment(), for local_df=0, drops the the packet and returns EMSGSIZE. The patch fixes it with adding check length of skb->len. In this case, Ipv6 not to fragment upper protocol data, just only add a fragment header before it.

2010-04-21fasync: RCU and fine grained lockingEric Dumazet
kill_fasync() uses a central rwlock, candidate for RCU conversion, to avoid cache line ping pongs on SMP. fasync_remove_entry() and fasync_add_entry() can disable IRQS on a short section instead during whole list scan. Use a spinlock per fasync_struct to synchronize kill_fasync_rcu() and fasync_{remove|add}_entry(). This spinlock is IRQ safe, so sock_fasync() doesnt need its own implementation and can use fasync_helper(), to reduce code size and complexity. We can remove __kill_fasync() direct use in net/socket.c, and rename it to kill_fasync_rcu(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Paul E.

When IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR is configured by the driver, starting of ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer should be prevented, as it is then not needed. This is currently partially the case. As it seems, when a probe-response is received from the AP the timer is still restarted, thus restarting the host based connection keep-alive mechanism.

2010-04-20ath9k: Group Key fix for VAPsDaniel Yingqiang Ma
When I set up multiple VAPs with ath9k, I encountered an issue that the traffic may be lost after a while. The detailed phenomenon is 1. After a while the clients connected to one of these VAPs will get into a state that no broadcast/multicast packets can be transfered successfully while the unicast packets can be transfered normally. 2. Minutes latter the unitcast packets transfer will fail as well, because the ARP entry is expired and it can't be freshed due to the broadcast trouble. It's caused by the group key overwritten and someone discussed this issue in ath9k-devel maillist before, but haven't work out a fix yet. I referred the method in madwifi, and made a patch for ath9k. The method is to set the high bit of the sender(AP)'s address, and associated that mac and the group key. It requires the hardware supports multicast frame key search. It seems true for AR9160. Not sure whether it's the correct way to fix this issue. But it seems to work in my test. The patch is attached, feel free to revise it.

2010-04-20net: emphasize rtnl lock required in call_netdevice_notifiersJiri Pirko
Since netdev_chain is guarded by rtnl_lock, ASSERT_RTNL should be present here to make sure that all callers of call_netdevice_notifiers does the locking properly. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-04-20rps: consistent rxhashEric Dumazet
In case we compute a software skb->rxhash, we can generate a consistent hash : Its value will be the same in both flow directions. This helps some workloads, like conntracking, since the same state needs to be accessed in both directions. tbench + RFS + this patch gives better results than tbench with default kernel configuration (no RPS, no RFS) Also fixed some sparse warnings.
