2009-11-18mac80211: convert aggregation to operate on vifs/stasJohannes Berg
The entire aggregation code currently operates on the hw pointer and station addresses, but that needs to change to make stations purely per-vif; As one step preparing for that make the aggregation code callable with the station, or by the combination of virtual interface and station address.

Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ? In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously.

And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later... A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method to unlink the device from the list of watched devices. dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory), to be able to unlink device in O(1).

2009-11-15net: Optimize hard_start_xmit() return checkingJarek Poplawski
Recent changes in the TX error propagation require additional checking and masking of values returned from hard_start_xmit(), mainly to separate cases where skb was consumed. This aim can be simplified by changing the order of NETDEV_TX and NET_XMIT codes, because the latter are treated similarly to negative (ERRNO) values. After this change much simpler dev_xmit_complete() is also used in sch_direct_xmit(), so it is moved to netdevice.h. Additionally NET_RX definitions in netdevice.h are moved up from between TX codes to avoid confusion while reading the TX comment.

2009-11-13inetpeer: Optimize inet_getid()Eric Dumazet
While investigating for network latencies, I found inet_getid() was a contention point for some workloads, as inet_peer_idlock is shared by all inet_getid() users regardless of peers. One way to fix this is to make ip_id_count an atomic_t instead of __u16, and use atomic_add_return(). In order to keep sizeof(struct inet_peer) = 64 on 64bit arches tcp_ts_stamp is also converted to __u32 instead of "unsigned long".

2009-11-13sctp: Set source addresses on the association before adding transportsVlad Yasevich
Recent commit 8da645e101a8c20c6073efda3c7cc74eec01b87f sctp: Get rid of an extra routing lookup when adding a transport introduced a regression in the connection setup. The behavior was different between IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 case ended up working because the route lookup routing returned a NULL route, which triggered another route lookup later in the output patch that succeeded. In the IPv6 case, a valid route was returned for first call, but we could not find a valid source address at the time since the source addresses were not set on the association yet. Thus resulted in a hung connection. The solution is to set the source addresses on the association prior to adding peers.

2009-11-13cfg80211: return channel noise via survey APIHolger Schurig
This patch implements the NL80211_CMD_GET_SURVEY command and an get_survey() ops that a driver can implement. The goal of this command is to allow a drivers to report channel survey data (e.g. channel noise, channel occupation). For now, only the mechanism to report back channel noise has been implemented. In future, there will either be a survey-trigger command --- or the existing scan-trigger command will be enhanced. This will allow user-space to request survey for arbitrary channels. Note: any driver that cannot report channel noise should not report any value at all, e.g. made-up -92 dBm. Signed-off-by: Holger Schurig <holgerschurig@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-11-13net: allow to propagate errors through ->ndo_hard_start_xmit()Patrick McHardy
Currently the ->ndo_hard_start_xmit() callbacks are only permitted to return one of the NETDEV_TX codes. This prevents any kind of error propagation for virtual devices, like queue congestion of the underlying device in case of layered devices, or unreachability in case of tunnels. This patches changes the NET_XMIT codes to avoid clashes with the NETDEV_TX codes and changes the two callers of dev_hard_start_xmit() to expect either errno codes, NET_XMIT codes or NETDEV_TX codes as return value. In case of qdisc_restart(), all non NETDEV_TX codes are mapped to NETDEV_TX_OK since no error propagation is possible when using qdiscs. In case of dev_queue_xmit(), the error is propagated upwards.

2009-11-08xfrm: SAD entries do not expire correctly after suspend-resumeYury Polyanskiy
This fixes the following bug in the current implementation of net/xfrm: SAD entries timeouts do not count the time spent by the machine in the suspended state. This leads to the connectivity problems because after resuming local machine thinks that the SAD entry is still valid, while it has already been expired on the remote server. The cause of this is very simple: the timeouts in the net/xfrm are bound to the old mod_timer() timers. This patch reassigns them to the CLOCK_REALTIME hrtimer. I have been using this version of the patch for a few months on my machines without any problems. Also run a few stress tests w/o any issues. This version of the patch uses tasklet_hrtimer by Peter Zijlstra (commit 9ba5f0). This patch is against 2.6.31.4. Please CC me.

2009-11-08net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.Eric W. Biederman
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace with a well known name. We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing logic into rtnl_link_get_net. In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base device source network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-11-06mac80211: async station powersave handlingJohannes Berg
Some devices require that all frames to a station are flushed when that station goes into powersave mode before being able to send frames to that station again when it wakes up or polls -- all in order to avoid reordering and too many or too few frames being sent to the station when it polls. Normally, this is the case unless the station goes to sleep and wakes up very quickly again. But in that case, frames for it may be pending on the hardware queues, and thus races could happen in the case of multiple hardware queues used for QoS/WMM. Normally this isn't a problem, but with the iwlwifi mechanism we need to make sure the race doesn't happen. This makes mac80211 able to cope with the race with driver help by a new WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER per-station flag that can be controlled by the driver and tells mac80211 whether it can transmit frames or not. This flag must be set according to very specific rules outlined in the documentation for the function that controls it. When we buffer new frames for the station, we normally set the TIM bit right away, but while the driver has blocked transmission to that sta we need to avoid that as well since we cannot respond to the station if it wakes up due to the TIM bit. Once the driver unblocks, we can set the TIM bit. Similarly, when the station just wakes up, we need to wait until all other frames are flushed before we can transmit frames to that station, so the same applies here, we need to wait for the driver to give the OK.
