2009-08-29Speed-up pfifo_fast lookup using a private bitmapKrishna Kumar
Maintain a per-qdisc bitmap for pfifo_fast giving availability of skbs for each band. This allows faster lookup for a skb when there are no high priority skbs. Also, it helps in (rare) cases when there are no skbs on the list, where an immediate lookup is faster than iterating through the three bands.

2009-08-29ipv6: Update Neighbor Cache when IPv6 RA is received on a routerDavid Ward
When processing a received IPv6 Router Advertisement, the kernel creates or updates an IPv6 Neighbor Cache entry for the sender -- but presently this does not occur if IPv6 forwarding is enabled (net.ipv6.conf.*.forwarding = 1), or if IPv6 Router Advertisements are not accepted (net.ipv6.conf.*.accept_ra = 0), because in these cases processing of the Router Advertisement has already halted. This patch allows the Neighbor Cache to be updated in these cases, while still avoiding any modification to routes or link parameters. This continues to satisfy RFC 4861, since any entry created in the Neighbor Cache as the result of a received Router Advertisement is still placed in the STALE state.

2009-08-29tcp: fix premature termination of FIN_WAIT2 time-wait socketsOctavian Purdila
There is a race condition in the time-wait sockets code that can lead to premature termination of FIN_WAIT2 and, subsequently, to RST generation when the FIN,ACK from the peer finally arrives: Time TCP header 0.000000 30755 > http [SYN] Seq=0 Win=2920 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=282912 TSER=0 0.000008 http > 30755 aSYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 Win=2896 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=... 0.136899 HEAD /1b.html?n1Lg=v1 HTTP/1.0 [Packet size limited during capture] 0.136934 HTTP/1.0 200 OK [Packet size limited during capture] 0.136945 http > 30755 [FIN, ACK] Seq=187 Ack=207 Win=2690 Len=0 TSV=270521... 0.136974 30755 > http [ACK] Seq=207 Ack=187 Win=2734 Len=0 TSV=283049 TSER=... 0.177983 30755 > http [ACK] Seq=207 Ack=188 Win=2733 Len=0 TSV=283089 TSER=... 0.238618 30755 > http [FIN, ACK] Seq=207 Ack=188 Win=2733 Len=0 TSV=283151... 0.238625 http > 30755 [RST] Seq=188 Win=0 Len=0 Say twdr->slot = 1 and we are running inet_twdr_hangman and in this instance inet_twdr_do_twkill_work returns 1. At that point we will mark slot 1 and schedule inet_twdr_twkill_work. We will also make twdr->slot = 2. Next, a connection is closed and tcp_time_wait(TCP_FIN_WAIT2, timeo) is called which will create a new FIN_WAIT2 time-wait socket and will place it in the last to be reached slot, i.e. twdr->slot = 1. At this point say inet_twdr_twkill_work will run which will start destroying the time-wait sockets in slot 1, including the just added TCP_FIN_WAIT2 one. To avoid this issue we increment the slot only if all entries in the slot have been purged. This change may delay the slots cleanup by a time-wait death row period but only if the worker thread didn't had the time to run/purge the current slot in the next period (6 seconds with default sysctl settings). However, on such a busy system even without this change we would probably see delays... Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-08-28fib_trie: resize reworkJens Låås
Here is rework and cleanup of the resize function. Some bugs we had. We were using ->parent when we should use node_parent(). Also we used ->parent which is not assigned by inflate in inflate loop. Also a fix to set thresholds to power 2 to fit halve and double strategy. max_resize is renamed to max_work which better indicates it's function. Reaching max_work is not an error, so warning is removed. max_work only limits amount of work done per resize. (limits CPU-usage, outstanding memory etc). The clean-up makes it relatively easy to add fixed sized root-nodes if we would like to decrease the memory pressure on routers with large routing tables and dynamic routing. If we'll need that... Its been tested with 280k routes. Work done together with Robert Olsson. Signed-off-by: Jens Låås <jens.laas@its.uu.se> Signed-off-by: Robert Olsson <robert.olsson@its.uu.se> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-08-28sit: allow ip fragmentation when using nopmtudisc to fix package lossSascha Hlusiak
if tunnel parameters have frag_off set to IP_DF, pmtudisc on the ipv4 link will be performed by deriving the mtu from the ipv4 link and setting the DF-Flag of the encapsulating IPv4 Header. If fragmentation is needed on the way, the IPv4 pmtu gets adjusted, the ipv6 package will be resent eventually, using the new and lower mtu and everyone is happy. If the frag_off parameter is unset, the mtu for the tunnel will be derived from the tunnel device or the ipv6 pmtu, which might be higher than the ipv4 pmtu. In that case we must allow the fragmentation of the IPv4 packet because the IPv6 mtu wouldn't 'learn' from the adjusted IPv4 pmtu, resulting in frequent icmp_frag_needed and package loss on the IPv6 layer. This patch allows fragmentation when tunnel was created with parameter nopmtudisc, like in ipip/gre tunnels. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hlusiak <contact@saschahlusiak.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-08-28mac80211: remove tasklet enable/disableJohannes Berg
Due to the way the tasklets work in mac80211 there's no need to ever disable them. However, we need to clear the pending packets when taking down the last interface because otherwise the tx_pending_tasklet might be queued if the driver mucks with the queues (which it shouldn't). I've had a situation occasionally with ar9170 in which ksoftirq was using 100% CPU time because a disabled tasklet was scheduled, and I think that was due to ar9170 receiving a packet while the tasklet was disabled. That's strange and it really should not do that for other reasons, but there's no need to waste that much CPU time over it, it should just warn instead.

2009-08-28cfg80211: clean up properly on interface type changeJohannes Berg
When the interface type changes while connected, and the driver does not require the interface to be down for a type change, it is currently possible to get very strange results unless the driver takes special care, which it shouldn't have to. To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail the call. Also process all events that may be pending to avoid running into a situation where an event is reported but only processed after the type has already changed, which would lead to missing events and warnings. A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails, but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or disconnect, this is not a problem.

2009-08-28cfg80211: make spurious warnings less likely, configurableJohannes Berg
Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due to a race condition between drivers and userspace, when the driver reports joined but the user in the meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck delaying the code that does the check and sends the event. So first, make the warning trigger closer to the driver, which means it's not locked, but since only the warning depends on it that's ok. And secondly, users will not want to have spurious warnings at all, so make those that are known to be racy in such a way configurable.

2009-08-28cfg80211: check lost scans later, fix bugJohannes Berg
When we lose a scan, cfg80211 tries to clean up after the driver. However, it currently does this too early, it does this in GOING_DOWN already instead of DOWN, so it may happen with mac80211. Besides fixing this, also make it more robust by leaking the scan request so if the driver later actually finishes the scan, it won't crash. Also check in ___cfg80211_scan_done whether a scan request is still pending and exit if not.

2009-08-28mac80211: fix configure_filter invocation after stopJohannes Berg
Since configure_filter can sleep now, any multicast configuration needed to be postponed to a work struct. This, however, lead to a problem that we could queue the work, stop the device and then afterwards invoke configure_filter which may lead to driver hangs and is a bug. To fix this, we can just cancel the filter work since it's unnecessary to do after stopping the hw. Since there are various places that call drv_stop, and two of them do very similar things, the code for them can be put into a shared function at the same time.
