2006-06-17[LLC]: allow applications to get copy of kernel datagramsStephen Hemminger
It is legal for an application to bind to a SAP that is also being used by the kernel. This happens if the bridge module binds to the STP SAP, and the user wants to have a daemon for STP as well. It is possible to have kernel doing STP on one bridge, but let application do RSTP on another bridge. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-06-17[LLC]: allow datagram recvmsgStephen Hemminger
LLC receive is broken for SOCK_DGRAM. If an application does recv() on a datagram socket and there is no data present, don't return "not connected". Instead, just do normal datagram semantics.

In net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c, there is a bug that prints extended sign information whenever the byte value exceeds 0x7f. The following patch changes the printk to use a u8 cast to limit the output to 2 digits. This bug was first noticed by Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com>.

2006-06-11[TCP]: continued: reno sacked_out count fixAki M Nyrhinen
From: Aki M Nyrhinen <anyrhine@cs.helsinki.fi> IMHO the current fix to the problem (in_flight underflow in reno) is incorrect. it treats the symptons but ignores the problem. the problem is timing out packets other than the head packet when we don't have sack. i try to explain (sorry if explaining the obvious). with sack, scanning the retransmit queue for timed out packets is fine because we know which packets in our retransmit queue have been acked by the receiver. without sack, we know only how many packets in our retransmit queue the receiver has acknowledged, but no idea which packets. think of a "typical" slow-start overshoot case, where for example every third packet in a window get lost because a router buffer gets full. with sack, we check for timeouts on those every third packet (as the rest have been sacked). the packet counting works out and if there is no reordering, we'll retransmit exactly the packets that were lost. without sack, however, we check for timeout on every packet and end up retransmitting consecutive packets in the retransmit queue. in our slow-start example, 2/3 of those retransmissions are unnecessary. these unnecessary retransmissions eat the congestion window and evetually prevent fast recovery from continuing, if enough packets were lost.

2006-06-09SUNRPC: NFS_ROOT always uses the same XIDsChuck Lever
The XID generator uses get_random_bytes to generate an initial XID. NFS_ROOT starts up before the random driver, though, so get_random_bytes doesn't set a random XID for NFS_ROOT. This causes NFS_ROOT mount points to reuse XIDs every time the client is booted. If the client boots often enough, the server will start serving old replies out of its DRC. Use net_random() instead. Test plan: I/O intensive workloads should perform well and generate no errors. Traces taken during client reboots should show that NFS_ROOT mounts use unique XIDs after every reboot.

2006-06-09SUNRPC: select privileged port numbers at randomChuck Lever
Make the RPC client select privileged ephemeral source ports at random. This improves DRC behavior on the server by using the same port when reconnecting for the same mount point, but using a different port for fresh mounts. The Linux TCP implementation already does this for nonprivileged ports. Note that TCP sockets in TIME_WAIT will prevent quick reuse of a random ephemeral port number by leaving the port INUSE until the connection transitions out of TIME_WAIT. Test plan: Connectathon against every known server implementation using multiple mount points. Locking especially.

2006-06-05[TCP]: Avoid skb_pull if possible when trimming headHerbert Xu ~{PmVHI~}
Trimming the head of an skb by calling skb_pull can cause the packet to become unaligned if the length pulled is odd. Since the length is entirely arbitrary for a FIN packet carrying data, this is actually quite common. Unaligned data is not the end of the world, but we should avoid it if it's easily done. In this case it is trivial. Since we're discarding all of the head data it doesn't matter whether we move skb->data forward or back. However, it is still possible to have unaligned skb->data in general. So network drivers should be prepared to handle it instead of crashing. This patch also adds an unlikely marking on len < headlen since partial ACKs on head data are extremely rare in the wild. As the return value of __pskb_trim_head is no longer ever NULL that has been removed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu ~{PmV>HI~} <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-06-05[PATCH] softmac: Fix handling of authentication failureDaniel Drake
My router blew up earlier, but exhibited some interesting behaviour during its dying moments. It was broadcasting beacons but wouldn't respond to any authentication requests. I noticed that softmac wasn't playing nice with this, as I couldn't make it try to connect to other networks after it had timed out authenticating to my ill router. To resolve this, I modified the softmac event/notify API to pass the event code to the callback, so that callbacks being notified from IEEE80211SOFTMAC_EVENT_ANY masks can make some judgement. In this case, the ieee80211softmac_assoc callback needs to make a decision based upon whether the association passed or failed.

2006-06-05[PATCH] softmac: complete shared key authenticationDaniel Drake
This patch finishes of the partially-complete shared key authentication implementation in softmac. The complication here is that we need to encrypt a management frame during the authentication process. I don't think there are any other scenarios where this would have to happen. To get around this without causing too many headaches, we decided to just use software encryption for this frame. The softmac config option now selects IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP so that we can ensure this available. This also involved a modification to some otherwise unused ieee80211 API.
