2009-10-27mac80211: Learn about mesh portals from multicast trafficJavier Cardona
Mesh portals proxy traffic for nodes external to the mesh. When a proxied frame is received by a mesh interface, it should update its mesh portal table. This was only happening for unicast frames. With this change we also learn about mesh portals from proxied multicast frames. Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-10-20net: Use sk_tx_queue_mapping for connected socketsKrishna Kumar
For connected sockets, the first run of dev_pick_tx saves the calculated txq in sk_tx_queue_mapping. This is not saved if either the device has a queue select or the socket is not connected. Next iterations of dev_pick_tx uses the cached value of sk_tx_queue_mapping. Signed-off-by: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-10-20net: Fix for dst_negative_adviceKrishna Kumar
dst_negative_advice() should check for changed dst and reset sk_tx_queue_mapping accordingly. Pass sock to the callers of dst_negative_advice. (sk_reset_txq is defined just for use by dst_negative_advice. The only way I could find to get around this is to move dst_negative_() from dst.h to dst.c, include sock.h in dst.c, etc) Signed-off-by: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-20net: Introduce sk_tx_queue_mappingKrishna Kumar
Introduce sk_tx_queue_mapping; and functions that set, test and get this value. Reset sk_tx_queue_mapping to -1 whenever the dst cache is set/reset, and in socket alloc. Setting txq to -1 and using valid txq=<0 to n-1> allows the tx path to use the value of sk_tx_queue_mapping directly instead of subtracting 1 on every tx.

2009-10-20filter: Add SKF_AD_QUEUE instructionEric Dumazet
It can help being able to filter packets on their queue_mapping. If filter performance is not good, we could add a "numqueue" field in struct packet_type, so that netif_nit_deliver() and other functions can directly ignore packets with not expected queue number. Lets experiment this simple filter extension first. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-10-20af_packet: Avoid cache line dirtyingEric Dumazet
While doing multiple captures, I found af_packet was dirtying cache line containing its prot_hook. This slow down machines where several cpus are necessary to handle capture traffic, as each prot_hook is traversed for each packet coming in or out the host. This patches moves "struct packet_type prot_hook" to the end of packet_sock, and uses a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp to make sure this remains shared by all cpus.

2009-10-18inet: rename some inet_sock fieldsEric Dumazet
In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch. Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first read-mostly cache line (inside struct sock_common) and move sk_refcnt to a separate cache line (only written by rx path) This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr, sport and id fields. This allows a future patch to define these fields as macros, like sk_refcnt, without name clashes. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-17genetlink: Optimize and one bug fix in genl_generate_id()Krishna Kumar
1. GENL_MIN_ID is a valid id -> no need to start at GENL_MIN_ID + 1. 2. Avoid going through the ids two times: If we start at GENL_MIN_ID+1 (*or bigger*) and all ids are over!, the code iterates through the list twice (*or lesser*). 3. Simplify code - no need to start at idx=0 which gets reset to GENL_MIN_ID. Patch on net-next-2.6. Reboot test shows that first id passed to genl_register_family was 16, next two were GENL_ID_GENERATE and genl_generate_id returned 17 & 18 (user level testing of same code shows expected values across entire range of MIN/MAX).

2009-10-13tcp: fix tcp_defer_accept to consider the timeoutWilly Tarreau
I was trying to use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and noticed that if the client does not talk, the connection is never accepted and remains in SYN_RECV state until the retransmits expire, where it finally is deleted. This is bad when some firewall such as netfilter sits between the client and the server because the firewall sees the connection in ESTABLISHED state while the server will finally silently drop it without sending an RST. This behaviour contradicts the man page which says it should wait only for some time : TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT (since Linux 2.4) Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives on the socket. Takes an integer value (seconds), this can bound the maximum number of attempts TCP will make to complete the connection. This option should not be used in code intended to be portable. Also, looking at ipv4/tcp.c, a retransmit counter is correctly computed : case TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT: icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept = 0; if (val > 0) { /* Translate value in seconds to number of * retransmits */ while (icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept < 32 && val > ((TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT / HZ) << icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept)) icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++; icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++; } break; ==> rskq_defer_accept is used as a counter of retransmits. But in tcp_minisocks.c, this counter is only checked. And in fact, I have found no location which updates it. So I think that what was intended was to decrease it in tcp_minisocks whenever it is checked, which the trivial patch below does. Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-10-12net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscallArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and net stack entry/exit operations. Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation. This takes into account comments made by: . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram, sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest. . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that works in the same fashion as the ppoll one. If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB one) it has received so far. . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it in the next call. This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg, where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at every underlying recvmsg call.

2009-10-12net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsgNeil Horman
Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested successfully by me. Notes: 1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops. Deltas must be computed in user space. 2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero, and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism. 3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit 977750076d98c7ff6cbda51858bb5a5894a9d9ab (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-12mac80211: document ieee80211_rx() context requirementJohannes Berg
ieee80211_rx() must be called with softirqs disabled since the networking stack requires this for netif_rx() and some code in mac80211 can assume that it can not be processing its own tasklet and this call at the same time. It may be possible to remove this requirement after a careful audit of mac80211 and doing any needed locking improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around netif_rx(). An alternative might be to push all packet processing to process context in mac80211, instead of to the tasklet, and add other synchronisation.

2009-10-12mac80211: fix ibss raceJohannes Berg
When a scan completes, we call ieee80211_sta_find_ibss(), which is also called from other places. When the scan was done in software, there's no problem as both run from the single-threaded mac80211 workqueue and are thus serialised against each other, but with hardware scan the completion can be in a different context and race against callers of this function from the workqueue (e.g. due to beacon RX). So instead of calling ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() directly, just arm the timer and have it fire, scheduling the work, which will invoke ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() (if that is appropriate in the current state).
