* [LIB]: Introduce struct pcounterArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2008-01-283-0/+129

* mac80211: adding 802.11n definitions in ieee80211.hRon Rindjunsky2008-01-281-0/+134
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds several structs and definitions to ieee80211.h to support 802.11n draft specifications. As 802.11n depends on and extends the 802.11e standard in several issues, there are also several definitions that belong to 802.11e.

* mac80211: provide interface iterator for driversJohannes Berg2008-01-282-0/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes drivers need to know which interfaces are associated with their hardware. Rather than forcing those drivers to keep track of the interfaces that were added, this adds an iteration function to mac80211. As it is intended to be used from the interface add/remove callbacks, the iteration function may currently only be called under RTNL.

* [NET]: Compact sk_stream_mem_schedule() codePavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-13/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function references sk->sk_prot->xxx for many times. It turned out, that there's so many code in it, that gcc cannot always optimize access to sk->sk_prot's fields. After saving the sk->sk_prot on the stack and comparing disassembled code, it turned out that the function became ~10 bytes shorter and made less dereferences (on i386 and x86_64). Stack consumption didn't grow. Besides, this patch drives most of this function into the 80 columns limit.

* [NET]: Make netns cleanup to run in a separate queueBenjamin Thery2008-01-281-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a separate workqueue for cleaning up a network namespace. If we use the keventd workqueue to execute cleanup_net(), there is a problem to unregister devices in IPv6. Indeed the code that cleans up also schedule work in keventd: as long as cleanup_net() hasn't return, dst_gc_task() cannot run and as long as dst_gc_task() has not run, there are still some references pending on the net devices and cleanup_net() can not unregister and exit the keventd workqueue.

* [PATCH] IPV4 : Move ip route cache flush (secret_rebuild) from softirq to ↵Eric Dumazet2008-01-281-24/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | workqueue Every 600 seconds (ip_rt_secret_interval), a softirq flush of the whole ip route cache is triggered. On loaded machines, this can starve softirq for many seconds and can eventually crash. This patch moves this flush to a workqueue context, using the worker we intoduced in commit 39c90ece7565f5c47110c2fa77409d7a9478bd5b (IPV4: Convert rt_check_expire() from softirq processing to workqueue.) Also, immediate flushes (echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush) are using rt_do_flush() helper function, wich take attention to rescheduling. Next step will be to handle delayed flushes ("echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush" or "ip route flush cache") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [RAW]: Consolidate proc interface.Pavel Emelyanov2008-01-283-95/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both ipv6/raw.c and ipv4/raw.c use the seq files to walk through the raw sockets hash and show them. The "walking" code is rather huge, but is identical in both cases. The difference is the hash table to walk over and the protocol family to check (this was not in the first virsion of the patch, which was noticed by YOSHIFUJI) Make the ->open store the needed hash table and the family on the allocated raw_iter_state and make the start/next/stop callbacks work with it.

* [NET]: Make the netlink methods in rtnetlink handle multiple network namespacesEric W. Biederman2008-01-281-24/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the previous prep work this just consists of removing checks limiting the code to work in the initial network namespace, and updating rtmsg_ifinfo so we can generate events for devices in something other then the initial network namespace. Referring to network other network devices like the IFLA_LINK and IFLA_MASTER attributes do, gets interesting if those network devices happen to be in other network namespaces. Currently ifindex numbers are allocated globally so I have taken the path of least resistance and not still report the information even though the devices they are talking about are invisible. If applications start getting confused or when ifindex numbers become local to the network namespace we may need to do something different in the future. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache useIlpo Järvinen2008-01-284-117/+172
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Key points of this patch are: - In case new SACK information is advance only type, no skb processing below previously discovered highest point is done - Optimize cases below highest point too since there's no need to always go up to highest point (which is very likely still present in that SACK), this is not entirely true though because I'm dropping the fastpath_skb_hint which could previously optimize those cases even better. Whether that's significant, I'm not too sure. Currently it will provide skipping by walking. Combined with RB-tree, all skipping would become fast too regardless of window size (can be done incrementally later). Previously a number of cases in TCP SACK processing fails to take advantage of costly stored information in sack_recv_cache, most importantly, expected events such as cumulative ACK and new hole ACKs. Processing on such ACKs result in rather long walks building up latencies (which easily gets nasty when window is huge). Those latencies are often completely unnecessary compared with the amount of _new_ information received, usually for cumulative ACK there's no new information at all, yet TCP walks whole queue unnecessary potentially taking a number of costly cache misses on the way, etc.! Since the inclusion of highest_sack, there's a lot information that is very likely redundant (SACK fastpath hint stuff, fackets_out, highest_sack), though there's no ultimate guarantee that they'll remain the same whole the time (in all unearthly scenarios). Take advantage of this knowledge here and drop fastpath hint and use direct access to highest SACKed skb as a replacement. Effectively "special cased" fastpath is dropped. This change adds some complexity to introduce better coveraged "fastpath", though the added complexity should make TCP behave more cache friendly. The current ACK's SACK blocks are compared against each cached block individially and only ranges that are new are then scanned by the high constant walk. For other parts of write queue, even when in previously known part of the SACK blocks, a faster skip function is used (if necessary at all). In addition, whenever possible, TCP fast-forwards to highest_sack skb that was made available by an earlier patch. In typical case, no other things but this fast-forward and mandatory markings after that occur making the access pattern quite similar to the former fastpath "special case". DSACKs are special case that must always be walked. The local to recv_sack_cache copying could be more intelligent w.r.t DSACKs which are likely to be there only once but that is left to a separate patch.
