2008-07-17mac80211: Reimplement WME using ->select_queue().David S. Miller
The only behavior change is that we do not drop packets under any circumstances. If that is absolutely needed, we could easily add it back. With cleanups and help from Johannes Berg. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17netdev: Add netdev->select_queue() method.David S. Miller
Devices or device layers can set this to control the queue selection performed by dev_pick_tx(). This function runs under RCU protection, which allows overriding functions to have some way of synchronizing with things like dynamic ->real_num_tx_queues adjustments. This makes the spinlock prefetch in dev_queue_xmit() a little bit less effective, but that's the price right now for correctness. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17net: Use queue aware tests throughout.David S. Miller
This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures. Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes. The interfaces they use such as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero. So everything "just works" for them. Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(), netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc. pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others. In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely improved. The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the wrong queue, which is mostly harmless. The thing to do is probably to invoke fill_packet() earlier. The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping. Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx(). If we end up needing any kind of special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here. Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver indicates how many TX queues are actually active. With IGB changes from Jeff Kirsher. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17mac80211: Temporarily mark QoS support BROKEN.David S. Miller
We will undo this after a few changsets. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17pkt_sched: Remove RR scheduler.David S. Miller
This actually fixes a bug added by the RR scheduler changes. The ->bands and ->prio2band parameters were being set outside of the sch_tree_lock() and thus could result in strange behavior and inconsistencies. It might be possible, in the new design (where there will be one qdisc per device TX queue) to allow similar functionality via a TX hash algorithm for RR but I really see no reason to export this aspect of how these multiqueue cards actually implement the scheduling of the the individual DMA TX rings and the single physical MAC/PHY port.

2008-07-17netdev: Kill NETIF_F_MULTI_QUEUE.David S. Miller
There is no need for a feature bit for something that can be tested by simply checking the TX queue count. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.David S. Miller
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

2008-07-16core: add stat to track unresolved discards in neighbor cacheNeil Horman
in __neigh_event_send, if we have a neighbour entry which is in NUD_INCOMPLETE state, we enqueue any outbound frames to that neighbour to the neighbours arp_queue, which is default capped to a length of 3 skbs. If that queue exceeds its set length, it will drop an skb on the queue to enqueue the newly arrived skb. This results in a drop for which we have no statistics incremented. This patch adds an unresolved_discards stat to /proc/net/stat/ndisc_cache to track these lost frames. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-07-16mib: add net to NET_ADD_STATS_BHPavel Emelyanov
This one is tricky. The thing is that this macro is only used when killing tw buckets, but since this killer is promiscuous wrt to which net each particular tw belongs to, I have to use it only when NET_NS is off. When the net namespaces are on, I use the INET_INC_STATS_BH for each bucket. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-07-16tcp: replace tcp_sock argument with sock in some placesPavel Emelyanov
These places have a tcp_sock, but we'd prefer the sock itself to get net from it. Fortunately, tcp_sk macro is just a type cast, so this replace is really cheap. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-07-16sock: add net to prot->enter_memory_pressure callbackPavel Emelyanov
The tcp_enter_memory_pressure calls NET_INC_STATS, but doesn't have where to get the net from. I decided to add a sk argument, not the net itself, only to factor all the required sock_net(sk) calls inside the enter_memory_pressure callback itself.

2008-07-16tcp: add net to tcp_mib_initPavel Emelyanov

2008-07-16ipvs: More reliable synchronization on connection closeRumen G. Bogdanovski
This patch enhances the synchronization of the closing connections between the master and the backup director. It prevents the closed connections to expire with the 15 min timeout of the ESTABLISHED state on the backup and makes them expire as they would do on the master with much shorter timeouts.

2008-07-16ipvs: Put backup thread on mcast socket wait queueSven Wegener
Instead of doing an endless loop with sleeping for one second, we now put the backup thread onto the mcast socket wait queue and it gets woken up as soon as we have data to process. Signed-off-by: Sven Wegener <sven.wegener@stealer.net> Acked-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>
2008-07-16ipvs: Use kthread_run() instead of doing a double-fork via kernel_thread()Sven Wegener
This also moves the setup code out of the daemons, so that we're able to return proper error codes to user space. The current code will return success to user space when the daemon is started with an invald mcast interface. With these changes we get an appropriate "No such device" error. We longer need our own completion to be sure the daemons are actually running, because they no longer contain code that can fail and kthread_run() takes care of the rest.

2008-07-15net: refactor tcp splice receive path to improve readabilityOctavian Purdila
- move all of the details on offsets, lengths and buffers into a single function instead of doing these operation from multiple places - use a bottom up approach: try to avoid details in the high level functions, introduce them gradually as we go deeper in the function call stack With helpful feedback from Jarek Poplawski.

2008-07-15netdev: Add netdev->addr_list_lock protection.David S. Miller
Add netif_addr_{lock,unlock}{,_bh}() helpers. Use them to protect operations that operate on or read the network device unicast and multicast address lists.
