2010-01-05mac80211: fix skb buffering issueJohannes Berg
Since I removed the master netdev, we've been keeping internal queues only, and even before that we never told the networking stack above the virtual interfaces about congestion. This means that packets are queued in mac80211 and the upper layers never know, possibly leading to memory exhaustion and other problems. This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding queues for the virtual interfaces as well. The injection case will use VO by default for non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.

2010-01-05IPVS: Allow boot time change of hash sizeCatalin(ux) M. BOIE
I was very frustrated about the fact that I have to recompile the kernel to change the hash size. So, I created this patch. If IPVS is built-in you can append ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=?? to kernel command line, or, if you built IPVS as modules, you can add options ip_vs conn_tab_bits=??. To keep everything backward compatible, you still can select the size at compile time, and that will be used as default. It has been about a year since this patch was originally posted and subsequently dropped on the basis of insufficient test data. Mark Bergsma has provided the following test results which seem to strongly support the need for larger hash table sizes: We do however run into the same problem with the default setting (212 = 4096 entries), as most of our LVS balancers handle around a million connections/SLAB entries at any point in time (around 100-150 kpps load). With only 4096 hash table entries this implies that each entry consists of a linked list of 256 connections *on average*. To provide some statistics, I did an oprofile run on an 2.6.31 kernel, with both the default 4096 table size, and the same kernel recompiled with IP_VS_CONN_TAB_BITS set to 18 (218 = 262144 entries). I built a quick test setup with a part of Wikimedia/Wikipedia's live traffic mirrored by the switch to the test host. With the default setting, at ~ 120 kpps packet load we saw a typical %si CPU usage of around 30-35%, and oprofile reported a hot spot in ip_vs_conn_in_get: samples % image name app name symbol name 1719761 42.3741 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_in_get 302577 7.4554 bnx2 bnx2 /bnx2 181984 4.4840 vmlinux vmlinux __ticket_spin_lock 128636 3.1695 vmlinux vmlinux ip_route_input 74345 1.8318 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_out_get 68482 1.6874 vmlinux vmlinux mwait_idle After loading the recompiled kernel with 218 entries, %si CPU usage dropped in half to around 12-18%, and oprofile looks much healthier, with only 7% spent in ip_vs_conn_in_get: samples % image name app name symbol name 265641 14.4616 bnx2 bnx2 /bnx2 143251 7.7986 vmlinux vmlinux __ticket_spin_lock 140661 7.6576 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_in_get 94364 5.1372 vmlinux vmlinux mwait_idle 86267 4.6964 vmlinux vmlinux ip_route_input [ horms@verge.net.au: trivial up-port and minor style fixes ] Signed-off-by: Catalin(ux) M.

2010-01-04ipvs: Add boundary check on ioctl argumentsArjan van de Ven
The ipvs code has a nifty system for doing the size of ioctl command copies; it defines an array with values into which it indexes the cmd to find the right length. Unfortunately, the ipvs code forgot to check if the cmd was in the range that the array provides, allowing for an index outside of the array, which then gives a "garbage" result into the length, which then gets used for copying into a stack buffer. Fix this by adding sanity checks on these as well as the copy size.

The off-channel operation should behave similarly to scan, i.e. the local station (if associated) moves into power save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel operation to be completed. The duration parameter can be used to request enough time to receive a response from the target station.

For association, that's correct only if the user-specified IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN), after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs).

2009-12-28mac80211: generalise work handlingJohannes Berg
In order to use auth/assoc for different purposes other than MLME, it needs to be split up. For other purposes, a generic work handling (potentially on another channel) will be useful. To achieve that, this patch moves much of the MLME work handling out of mlme into a new work API. The API can currently handle probing a specific AP, authentication and association. The MLME previously handled probe/authentication as one step and will continue to do so, but they are separate in the new work handling. Work items are RCU-managed to be able to check for existence of an item for a specific frame in the RX path, but they can be re-used which the MLME right now will do for its combined probe/auth step.

2009-12-28mac80211: let cfg80211 manage auth stateJohannes Berg

It also means that it needs to keep track of the work struct while associated for when it gets disassociated (or disassociates.) Change this to free the work struct after the authentication completed successfully and allocate a new one for associating, thereby letting cfg80211 manage the auth state. Another change necessary for this is to tell cfg80211 about all unicast deauth frames sent to mac80211 since now it can no longer check the auth state, but that check was racy anyway.

2009-12-28mac80211: fix propagation of failed hardware reconfigurationsLuis R. Rodriguez
mac80211 does not propagate failed hardware reconfiguration requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers, queue work, and so on for a device which is completley unfunctional. The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a device if mac80211 was unable to start the device.

2009-12-28mac80211: fix race with suspend and dynamic_ps_disable_workLuis R. Rodriguez
When mac80211 suspends it calls a driver's suspend callback as a last step and after that the driver assumes no calls will be made to it until we resume and its start callback is kicked. If such calls are made, however, suspend can end up throwing hardware in an unexpected state and making the device unusable upon resume. Fix this by preventing mac80211 to schedule dynamic_ps_disable_work by checking for when mac80211 starts to suspend and starts quiescing. Frames should be allowed to go through though as that is part of the quiescing steps and we do not flush the mac80211 workqueue since it was already done towards the beginning of suspend cycle. The other mac80211 issue will be hanled in the next patch. For further details see refer to the thread: http://marc.info/?t=126144866100001&r=1&w=2 Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

Joseph Nahmias reported, in http://bugs.debian.org/562016, that he was getting the following warning (with some log around the issue): ath0: direct probe to AP 00:11:95:77:e0:b0 (try 1) ath0: direct probe responded ath0: authenticate with AP 00:11:95:77:e0:b0 (try 1) ath0: authenticated ath0: associate with AP 00:11:95:77:e0:b0 (try 1) ath0: deauthenticating from 00:11:95:77:e0:b0 by local choice (reason=3) ath0: direct probe to AP 00:11:95:77:e0:b0 (try 1) ath0: RX AssocResp from 00:11:95:77:e0:b0 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=2) ath0: associated ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at net/wireless/mlme.c:97 cfg80211_send_rx_assoc+0x14d/0x152 [cfg80211]() Hardware name: 7658CTO ...

In that case, it may happen that mac80211 tries to report the assoc success to cfg80211, but gets blocked on the wdev lock that is held because the user is requesting the deauth. The result is that we run into a warning. This is mostly harmless, but maybe cause an unexpected event to be sent to userspace; we'd send an assoc success event although userspace was no longer expecting that. To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the race happened and in that case abort processing.

2009-12-28mac80211: fix ibss join with fixed-bssidFelix Fietkau
When fixed bssid is requested when joining an ibss network, incoming beacons that match the configured bssid cause mac80211 to create new sta entries, even before the ibss interface is in joined state. When that happens, it fails to bring up the interface entirely, because it checks for existing sta entries before joining. This patch fixes this bug by refusing to create sta info entries before the interface is fully operational. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-12-26llc: fix SAP reference counting w.r.t. socket handlingOctavian Purdila

2009-12-26llc: replace the socket list with a local address based hashOctavian Purdila
For the cases where a lot of interfaces are used in conjunction with a lot of LLC sockets bound to the same SAP, the iteration of the socket list becomes prohibitively expensive. Replacing the list with a a local address based hash significantly improves the bind and listener lookup operations as well as the datagram delivery. Connected sockets delivery is also improved, but this patch does not address the case where we have lots of sockets with the same local address connected to different remote addresses. In order to keep the socket sanity checks alive and fast a socket counter was added to the SAP structure. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-12-26llc: use a device based hash table to speed up multicast deliveryOctavian Purdila
This patch adds a per SAP device based hash table to solve the multicast delivery scalability issue when we have large number of interfaces and a large number of sockets bound to the same SAP.

2009-12-26llc: convert the socket list to RCU lockingOctavian Purdila
For the reclamation phase we use the SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU mechanism, which require some extra checks in the lookup code: a) If the current socket was released, reallocated & inserted in another list it will short circuit the iteration for the current list, thus we need to restart the lookup. b) If the current socket was released, reallocated & inserted in the same list we just need to recheck it matches the look-up criteria and if not we can skip to the next element. In this case there is no need to restart the lookup, since sockets are inserted at the start of the list and the worst that will happen is that we will iterate throught some of the list elements more then once. Note that the /proc and multicast delivery was not yet converted to RCU, it still uses spinlocks for protection. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-12-26llc: add support for SO_BINDTODEVICEOctavian Purdila
Using bind(MAC address) with LLC sockets has O(n) complexity, where n is the number of interfaces. To overcome this, we add support for SO_BINDTODEVICE which drops the complexity to O(1). Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
