2008-12-15tcp: Add GRO supportHerbert Xu
This patch adds the TCP-specific portion of GRO. The criterion for merging is extremely strict (the TCP header must match exactly apart from the checksum) so as to allow refragmentation. Otherwise this is pretty much identical to LRO, except that we support the merging of ECN packets. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-12-15ipv4: Add GRO infrastructureHerbert Xu
This patch adds GRO support for IPv4. The criteria for merging is more stringent than LRO, in particular, we require all fields in the IP header to be identical except for the length, ID and checksum. In addition, the ID must form an arithmetic sequence with a difference of one. The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware TSO solutions already obey this rule. Linux itself also obeys this whether GSO is in use or not. In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather making sure that we don't drop them when pulling the aggregate skb's tail).

2008-12-12mac80211: integrate sta_notify_ps cmds into sta_notifyChristian Lamparter
This patch replaces the newly introduced sta_notify_ps function, which can be used to notify the driver about every power state transition for all associated stations, by integrating its functionality back into the original sta_notify callback.

2008-12-12mac80211: remove fragmentation offload functionalityJohannes Berg
There's no driver that actually does fragmentation on the device, and the callback is buggy (when it returns an error, mac80211's fragmentation status is changed so reading the frag threshold from userspace reads the new value despite the error). Let's just remove it, if we really find some hardware supporting it we can add it back later. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-12-10netns: ip6mr: declare counter cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespaceBenjamin Thery
Preliminary work to make IPv6 multicast forwarding netns-aware. Declare variable cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace: moves it into struct netns_ipv6. This variable counts the number of unresolved cache entries queued in the list mfc_unres_queue. This list is kept global to all netns as the number of entries per namespace is limited to 10 (hardcoded in routine ip6mr_cache_unresolved). Entries belonging to different namespaces in mfc_unres_queue will be identified by matching the mfc_net member introduced previously in struct mfc6_cache. Keeping this list global to all netns, also allows us to keep a single timer (ipmr_expire_timer) to handle their expiration. In some places cache_resolve_queue_len value was tested for arming or deleting the timer. These tests were equivalent to testing mfc_unres_queue value instead and are replaced in this patch. At the moment, cache_resolve_queue_len is only referenced in init_net. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-12-05mac80211: add sta_notify_ps callbackChristian Lamparter
This patch is necessary in order to provide a proper Access point support for p54. Unfortunately for us, there is no documented way to disable the interfering power save buffering mechanism in firmware completely. Therefore we give in and notify the driver through our new sta_notify_ps callback, so that we can update the filter state.

2008-11-30Bluetooth: Enable per-module dynamic debug messagesMarcel Holtmann
With the introduction of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG it is possible to allow debugging without having to recompile the kernel. This patch turns all BT_DBG() calls into pr_debug() to support dynamic debug messages. As a side effect all CONFIG_BT_*_DEBUG statements are now removed and some broken debug entries have been fixed. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-11-30Bluetooth: Send HCI Reset command by default on device initializationMarcel Holtmann
The Bluetooth subsystem was not using the HCI Reset command when doing device initialization. The Bluetooth 1.0b specification was ambiguous on how the device firmware was suppose to handle it. Almost every device was triggering a transport reset at the same time. In case of USB this ended up in disconnects from the bus. All modern Bluetooth dongles handle this perfectly fine and a lot of them actually require that HCI Reset is sent. If not then they are either stuck in their HID Proxy mode or their internal structures for inquiry and paging are not correctly setup. To handle old and new devices smoothly the Bluetooth subsystem contains a quirk to force the HCI Reset on initialization. However maintaining such a quirk becomes more and more complicated. This patch turns the logic around and lets the old devices disable the HCI Reset command. The only device where the HCI_QUIRK_NO_RESET is still needed are the original Digianswer devices and dongles with an early CSR firmware. CSR reported that they fixed this for version 12 firmware. The last official release of version 11 firmware is build ID 115. The first version 12 candidate was build ID 117. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

2008-11-26net: Fix soft lockups/OOM issues w/ unix garbage collectordann frazier
This is an implementation of David Miller's suggested fix in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470201 It has been updated to use wait_event() instead of wait_event_interruptible(). Paraphrasing the description from the above report, it makes sendmsg() block while UNIX garbage collection is in progress. This avoids a situation where child processes continue to queue new FDs over a AF_UNIX socket to a parent which is in the exit path and running garbage collection on these FDs. This contention can result in soft lockups and oom-killing of unrelated processes. Signed-off-by: dann frazier <dannf@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-11-26pkt_sched: gen_estimator: Optimize gen_estimator_active()Jarek Poplawski
Since all other gen_estimator functions use bstats and rate_est params together, and searching for them is optimized now, let's use this also in gen_estimator_active(). The return type of gen_estimator_active() is changed to bool, and gen_find_node() parameters to const, btw. In tcf_act_police_locate() a check for ACT_P_CREATED is added before calling gen_estimator_active(). Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-11-25tc: policing requires a rate estimatorStephen Hemminger
