* [NET]: fix-up schedule_timeout() usageNishanth Aravamudan2005-09-121-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Use schedule_timeout_{,un}interruptible() instead of set_current_state()/schedule_timeout() to reduce kernel size. Also use human-time conversion functions instead of hard-coded division to avoid rounding issues.

| * [PATCH] WE-19 for kernel 2.6.13Jean Tourrilhes2005-09-061-24/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hi Jeff, This is version 19 of the Wireless Extensions. It was supposed to be the fallback of the WPA API changes, but people seem quite happy about it (especially Jouni), so the patch is rather small. The patch has been fully tested with 2.6.13 and various wireless drivers, and is in its final version. Would you mind pushing that into Linus's kernel so that the driver and the apps can take advantage ot it ? It includes : o iwstat improvement (explicit dBm). This is the result of long discussions with Dan Williams, the authors of NetworkManager. Thanks to him for all the fruitful feedback. o remove pointer from event stream. I was not totally sure if this pointer was 32-64 bits clean, so I'd rather remove it and be at peace with it. o remove linux header from wireless.h. This has long been requested by people writting user space apps, now it's done, and it was not even painful. o final deprecation of spy_offset. You did not like it, it's now gone for good. o Start deprecating dev->get_wireless_stats -> debloat netdev o Add "check" version of event macros for ieee802.11 stack. Jiri Benc doesn't like the current macros, we aim to please ;-) All those changes, except the last one, have been bit-roting on my web pages for a while... Patches for most kernel drivers will follow. Patches for the Orinoco and the HostAP drivers have been sent to their respective maintainers. Have fun...

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of my x86_64 (linux 2.6.13) server log is filled with : schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca This is because some application does a struct linger li; li.l_onoff = 1; li.l_linger = -1; setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, &li, sizeof(li)); And unfortunatly l_linger is defined as a 'signed int' in include/linux/socket.h: struct linger { int l_onoff; /* Linger active */ int l_linger; /* How long to linger for */ }; I dont know if it's safe to change l_linger to 'unsigned int' in the include file (It might be defined as int in ABI specs) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | [NET]: 2.6.13 breaks libpcap (and tcpdump)Herbert Xu2005-09-051-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patrick McHardy says: Never mind, I got it, we never fall through to the second switch statement anymore. I think we could simply break when load_pointer returns NULL. The switch statement will fall through to the default case and return 0 for all cases but 0 > k >= SKF_AD_OFF. Here's a patch to do just that. I left BPF_MSH alone because it's really a hack to calculate the IP header length, which makes no sense when applied to the special data.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Protocols that make extensive use of SKB cloning, for example TCP, eat at least 2 allocations per packet sent as a result.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff. The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller. I did some basic testing on my notebook and it seems to work. The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a single bit. Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for them. Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space. Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code overloads pkt_type :( The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe to remove it. - remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code - don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field. IPVS maintainers can decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die. - remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes - move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET] Fix too aggressive backoff in dst garbage collectionDenis Lunev2005-07-301-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bug is evident when it is seen once. dst gc timer was backed off, when gc queue is not empty. But this means that timer quickly backs off, if at least one destination remains in use. Normally, the bug is invisible, because adding new dst entry to queue cancels the backoff. But it shots deadly with destination cache overflow when new destinations are not released for long time f.e. after an interface goes down. The fix is to cancel backoff when something was released.
