2010-10-05mac80211: distinct between max rates and the number of rates the hw can reportHelmut Schaa
Some drivers cannot handle multiple retry rates specified by the rc algorithm but instead use their own retry table (for example rt2800). However, if such a device registers itself with a max_rates value of 1 the rc algorithm cannot make use of the extended information the device can provide about retried rates. On the other hand, if a device registers itself with a max_rates value > 1 the rc algorithm assumes that the device can handle multi rate retries. Fix this issue by introducing another hw parameter max_report_rates that can be set to a different value then max_rates to indicate if a device is capable of reporting more rates then specified in max_rates.

2010-10-05mac80211: Add validity check for beacon_crc valueJuuso Oikarinen
On association to an AP, after receiving beacons, the beacon_crc value is set. The beacon_crc value is not reset in disassociation, but the BSS data may be expired at a later point. When associating again, it's possible that a beacon for the AP is not received, resulting in the beacon_ies to remain NULL. After association, further beacons will not update the beacon data, as the crc value of the beacon has not changed, and the beacon_crc still holds a value matching the beacon. The beacon_ies will remain forever null. One of the results of this is that WLAN power save cannot be entered, the STA will remain foreven in active mode. Fix this by adding a validation flag for the beacon_crc, which is cleared on association.

ipt_LOG & ip6t_LOG use lot of calls to printk() and use a lock in a hope several cpus wont mix their output in syslog. printk() being very expensive [1], its better to call it once, on a prebuilt and complete line. Also, with mixed IPv4 and IPv6 trafic, separate IPv4/IPv6 locks dont avoid garbage. I used an allocation of a 1024 bytes structure, sort of seq_printf() but with a fixed size limit. Use a static buffer if dynamic allocation failed. Emit a once time alert if buffer size happens to be too short. [1]: printk() has various features like printk_delay()...

2010-10-04IPVS: sip persistence engineSimon Horman
Add the SIP callid as a key for persistence. This allows multiple connections from the same IP address to be differentiated on the basis of the callid. When used in conjunction with the persistence mask, it allows connections from different IP addresses to be aggregated on the basis of the callid. It is envisaged that a persistence mask of 0.0.0.0 will be a useful setting. That is, ignore the source IP address when checking for persistence. It is envisaged that this option will be used in conjunction with one-packet scheduling. This only works with UDP and cannot be made to work with TCP within the current framework.

2010-10-03net: introduce DST_NOCACHE flagEric Dumazet
While doing stress tests with IP route cache disabled, and multi queue devices, I noticed a very high contention on one rwlock used in neighbour code. When many cpus are trying to send frames (possibly using a high performance multiqueue device) to the same neighbour, they fight for the neigh->lock rwlock in order to call neigh_hh_init(), and fight on hh->hh_refcnt (a pair of atomic_inc/atomic_dec_and_test()) But we dont need to call neigh_hh_init() for dst that are used only once. It costs four atomic operations at least, on two contended cache lines, plus the high contention on neigh->lock rwlock. Introduce a new dst flag, DST_NOCACHE, that is set when dst was not inserted in route cache. With the stress test bench, sending 160000000 frames on one neighbour, results are : Before patch: real 2m28.406s user 0m11.781s sys 36m17.964s After patch: real 1m26.532s user 0m12.185s sys 20m3.903s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-10-03sctp: Fix out-of-bounds reading in sctp_asoc_get_hmac()Dan Rosenberg
The sctp_asoc_get_hmac() function iterates through a peer's hmac_ids array and attempts to ensure that only a supported hmac entry is returned. The current code fails to do this properly - if the last id in the array is out of range (greater than SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ID_MAX), the id integer remains set after exiting the loop, and the address of an out-of-bounds entry will be returned and subsequently used in the parent function, causing potentially ugly memory corruption. This patch resets the id integer to 0 on encountering an invalid id so that NULL will be returned after finishing the loop if no valid ids are found.

2010-10-03Revert "ipv4: Make INET_LRO a bool instead of tristate."Ben Hutchings
This reverts commit e81963b180ac502fda0326edf059b1e29cdef1a2. LRO is now deprecated in favour of GRO, and only a few drivers use it, so it is desirable to build it as a module in distribution kernels. The original change to prevent building it as a module was made in an attempt to avoid the case where some dependents are set to y and some to m, and INET_LRO can be set to m rather than y. However, the Kconfig system will reliably set INET_LRO=y in this case. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
