| * mac80211: mesh gate implementationJavier Cardona2011-08-241-0/+284
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this implementation, a mesh gate is a root node with a certain bit set in its RANN flags. The mpath to this root node is marked as a path to a gate, and added to our list of known gates for this if_mesh. Once a path discovery process fails, we forward the unresolved frames to a known gate. Thanks to Luis Rodriguez for refactoring and bug fix help.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The locking in mesh_{mpath,mpp}_table_grow not only has an rcu_read_unlock() missing, it's also racy (though really only technically since it's invoked from a single function only) since it obtains the new size of the table without any locking, so two invocations of the function could attempt the same resize. Additionally, it uses synchronize_rcu() which is rather expensive and can be avoided trivially here. Modify the functions to only use the table lock and use call_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu().

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so prepare for that by reducing the reliance on having a netdev. This patch moves the name and address fields into the sdata struct and uses them from there all over. Some work is needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not a lot of work and in slow paths anyway. In doing so, this also reduces the number of pointer dereferences in many places, because of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming sdata->vif.addr.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Assign next hop address to pending mesh frames once the path is resolved. Regression. Frames transmitted when a mesh path was wating to be resolved were being transmitted with an invalid Receiver Address. [Changes since v1] Suggested by Johannes: - Improved frame_queue traversal - Narower RCU scope Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrey Yurovsky <andrey@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: use correct address for mesh Path ErrorJavier Cardona2009-07-211-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | For forwarded frames, we save the precursor address in addr1 in case it needs to be used to send a Path Error. mesh_path_discard_frame, however, was using addr2 instead of addr1 to send Path Error frames, so correct that and also make the comment regarding this more clear.

* mac80211: disable meshJohannes Berg2009-07-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My kvm instance was complaining a lot about sleeping in atomic contexts in the mesh code, and it turns out that both mesh_path_add() and mpp_path_add() need to be able to sleep (they even use synchronize_rcu()!). I put in a might_sleep() to annotate that, but I see no way, at least right now, of actually making sure those functions are only called from process context since they are both called during TX and RX and the mesh code itself even calls them with rcu_read_lock() "held". Therefore, let's disable it completely for now. It's possible that I'm only seeing this because the hwsim's beaconing is broken and thus the peers aren't discovered right away, but it is possible that this happens even if beaconing is working, for a peer that doesn't exist or so. It should be possible to solve this by deferring the freeing of the tables to call_rcu() instead of using synchronize_rcu(), and also using atomic allocations, but maybe it makes more sense to rework the code to not call these from atomic contexts and defer more of the work to the workqueue. Right now, I can't work on either of those solutions though. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: mesh portal functionality supportYanBo2008-09-241-1/+126
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently the mesh code doesn't support bridging mesh point interfaces with wired ethernet or AP to construct an MPP or MAP. This patch adds code to support the "6 address frame format packet" functionality to mesh point interfaces. Now the mesh network can be used as backhaul for end to end communication.

* mac80211: split off mesh handling entirelyJohannes Berg2008-09-151-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch splits off mesh handling from the STA/IBSS. Unfortunately it increases mesh code size a bit, but I think it makes things clearer. The patch also reduces per-interface run-time memory usage. Also clean up a few places where ifdef is not required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* replace net_device arguments with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriateJasper Bryant-Greene2008-08-221-41/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate. It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device. If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway, the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat. This patch probably does not convert all the functions which could be converted, but it is a large chunk and followup patches will be provided.

* mac80211: fix use of skb->cb for mesh forwardingLuis Carlos Cobo2008-08-071-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now we deal with mesh forwarding before the 802.11->802.3 conversion, thus eliminating a few unnecessary steps. The next hop lookup is called from ieee80211_master_start_xmit() instead of subif_start_xmit(). Until the next hop is found, RA in the frame will be all zeroes for frames originating from the device. For forwarded frames, RA will contain the TA of the received frame, which will be necessary to send a path error if a next hop is not found.
