2008-03-06mac80211: export mesh_plink_brokenJohannes Berg
This needs to be exported because rate control algorithms can be modular. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-03-06mac80211: code for on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh ProtocolLuis Carlos Cobo
This file implements the on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol, at this moment using hop-count as the metric. When no mesh path exists for a given destination or the mesh path is not active, frames addressed to that destination will be queued and a Path Request frame will be sent. Queued frames will be sent when the path is resolved (usually after reception of a Path Response) or discarded if discovery times out. Path Requests will also be sent to refresh paths that are being used and are close to expiring. Path Errors are sent when a path discovery process triggered by the attempt to forward a frame originated in a different mesh point times out. Path Errors are also sent when a peer link is determined to be unreachable because of high error rates. Multiple destination support in Path Requests and Path Errors and precursors have not been implemented yet.

2008-03-06mac80211: mesh path table implementationLuis Carlos Cobo
The mesh path table associates destinations with the next hop to reach them. The table is a hash of linked lists protected by rcu mechanisms. Every mesh path contains a lock to protect the mesh path state. Each outgoing mesh frame requires a look up into this table. Therefore, the table it has been designed so it is not necessary to hold any lock to find the appropriate next hop. If the path is determined to be active within a rcu context we can safely dereference mpath->next_hop->addr, since it holds a reference to the sta next_hop. After a mesh path has been set active for the first time it next_hop must always point to a valid sta. If this is not possible the mpath must be deleted or replaced in a RCU safe fashion.

2008-03-06mac80211: support functions for meshLuis Carlos Cobo
The two important features coded in mesh.c are: Recently Multicast Cache: in on-demand HWMP, multicast traffic is retransmitted by every receiving node. Even though a mesh TTL counter avoids infinite loops, it is also necessary to avoid traffic explosion by keeping a cache of multicast mesh frame that have been received recently. With this feature, maximum number of retransmissions of a multicast frame for the case of N nodes within the range of each other would be N. Without it, the maximum number of retransmissions would be in the order of N^(MESH_TTL - 1). Code to support mesh tables.

2008-03-05SCTP: Fix chunk parameter processing bugGui Jianfeng
If an address family is not listed in "Supported Address Types" parameter(INIT Chunk), but the packet is sent by that family, this address family should be considered as supported by peer. Otherwise, an error condition will occur. For instance, if kernel receives an IPV6 SCTP INIT chunk with "Support Address Types" parameter which indicates just supporting IPV4 Address family. Kernel will reply an IPV6 SCTP INIT ACK packet, but the source ipv6 address in ipv6 header will be vacant. This is not correct. refer to RFC4460 as following: IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: If an SCTP endpoint lists in the 'Supported Address Types' parameter either IPv4 or IPv6, but uses the other family for sending the packet containing the INIT chunk, or if it also lists addresses of the other family in the INIT chunk, then the address family that is not listed in the 'Supported Address Types' parameter SHOULD also be considered as supported by the receiver of the INIT chunk. The receiver of the INIT chunk SHOULD NOT respond with any kind of error indication. Here is a fix to comply to RFC.

2008-03-05[NETNS][IPV6] addrconf - make addrconf per namespaceBenjamin Thery
All the infrastructure to propagate the network namespace information is ready. Make use of it. There is a special case here between the initial network namespace and the other namespaces: * When ipv6 is initialized at boot time (aka in the init_net), it registers to the notifier callback. So addrconf_notify will be called as many time as there are network devices setup on the system and the function will add ipv6 addresses to the network devices. But the first device which needs to have its ipv6 address setup is the loopback, unfortunatly this is not the case. So the loopback address is setup manually in the ipv6 init function. * With the network namespace, this ordering problem does not appears because notifier is already setup and active, so as soon as we register the loopback the ipv6 address is setup and it will be the first device.

2008-03-04[IPCONFIG]: The kernel gets no IP from some DHCP serversStephen Hemminger
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Based upon a patch by Marcel Wappler: This patch fixes a DHCP issue of the kernel: some DHCP servers (i.e. in the Linksys WRT54Gv5) are very strict about the contents of the DHCPDISCOVER packet they receive from clients. Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and 'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'. These DHCP servers ignore Linux kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to '255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as 'dhclient' or 'udhcpc'). This leads to a not booting system. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-03-04[TCP]: TCP cubic v2.2Sangtae Ha
We have updated CUBIC to fix some issues with slow increase in large BDP networks. We also improved its convergence speed. The fix is in fact very simple -- the window increase limit of smax during the window probing phase (i.e., convex growth phase) is removed. We found that this does not affect TCP friendliness, but only improves its scalability. We have run some tests in our lab and also over the Internet path from NCSU to Japan.

namespaces This patch makes the necessary changes to make IPv6 dst_entry garbage collection work with multiple network namespaces. In ip6_dst_gc(), static local variables are now declared per-namespace.

2008-03-04[NETNS][IPV6] route6 - move ip6_dst_ops inside the network namespaceBenjamin Thery
The ip6_dst_ops is moved inside the network namespace structure. All references to this structure are now relative to the initial network namespace.

2008-03-04[NETNS][IPV6] route6 - dynamically allocate ip6_dst_opsDaniel Lezcano
ip6_dst_ops is dynamically allocated in init and exit functions. That provides the ability to do multiple instanciations of this structure. This will be needed for network namespaces, indeed dst_ops stores data that are required to be per namespace: entries and gc_thresh.

2008-03-04[NETNS][IPV6] rt6_info - make rt6_info accessed as a pointerDaniel Lezcano
This patch make mindless changes and prepares the code to use dynamic allocation for rt6_info structure. The code accesses the rt6_info structure as a pointer instead of a global static variable.

2008-03-04[NETNS][IPV6] route6 - make route6 per namespaceDaniel Lezcano
This patch makes the routing engine use the network namespaces to access routing informations: Add a network namespace parameter to ipv6_route_ioctl and propagate the network namespace value to all the routing code that have not yet been changed.
