* warn: Turn the netdev timeout WARN_ON() into a WARN()Arjan van de Ven2008-09-081-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | this patch turns the netdev timeout WARN_ON_ONCE() into a WARN_ONCE(), so that the device and driver names are inside the warning message. This helps automated tools like kerneloops.org to collect the data and do statistics, as well as making it more likely that humans cut-n-paste the important message as part of a bugreport.

| * mac80211: Fix rate scale initialization in IBSSEmmanuel Grumbach2008-09-082-30/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch address some IBSS rate issues introduced or not covered by "mac80211: eliminate IBSS warning in rate_lowest_index()" and "cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion". This patch: 1. Moves addition of IBSS station from prepare_for_handlers to ieee80211_rx_bss_info when triggered from beacon eliminating bogus supported rates. 2. Initialize properly supported rates also in IBSS merging 3. Ensure that mandatory rates are always added into supported rates. This is needed in case when station addition is triggered from non beacon/probe packet. Some management frames need to be sent 4. Remove initialization of supported rates from self rates. This path was dead code after 6bc37c06bc4 and in general incorrect.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even if adding such an interface might fail later because of concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that.

* | net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one deviceHerbert Xu2008-09-081-0/+6
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it stands users of netdev_compute_features (e.g., bridges/bonding) will only enable TSO if all consituent devices support it. This is unnecessarily pessimistic since even on devices that do not support hardware TSO and SG, emulated TSO still performs to a par with TSO off. This patch enables TSO if at least on constituent device supports it in hardware. The direct beneficiaries will be virtualisation that uses bridging since this means that TSO will always be enabled for communication from the host to the guests.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use qdisc_root_sleeping_lock() instead of qdisc_root_lock() where appropriate. The only difference is while dev is deactivated, when currently we can use a sleeping qdisc with the lock of noop_qdisc.

The rates tag of the assoc request has room for only 8 rates. In case of 802.11g an extended rate tag is appended. However in net/wireless/mlme.c an extended (empty) rate tag is also appended if the number of rates is exact 8. This empty (length=0) extended rates tag causes some APs to deny association with code 18 (unsupported rates). These APs include my ZyXEL G-570U, and according to Tomas Winkler som Cisco APs. 'If count == 8' has been used to check for the need for an extended rates tag. But count would also be equal to 8 if the for loop exited because of no more supported rates. Therefore a check for count being less than rates_len would seem more correct.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previous version was using incorrect union structures for non-AP interfaces when adding and removing max_ratectrl_rateidx and force_unicast_rateidx entries. Depending on the vif type, this ended up in corrupting debugfs entries since the dentries inside different union structures ended up going being on top of eachother.. As the end result, debugfs files were being left behind with references to freed data (instant kernel oops on access) and directories were not removed properly when unloading mac80211 drivers. This patch fixes those issues by using only a single union structure based on the vif type. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | * mac80211: Use IWEVASSOCREQIE instead of IWEVCUSTOMJouni Malinen2008-08-261-39/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous code was using IWEVCUSTOM to report IEs from AssocReq and AssocResp frames into user space. This can easily hit the 256 byte limit (IW_CUSTOM_MAX) with APs that include number of vendor IEs in AssocResp. This results in the event message not being sent and dmesg showing "wlan0 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (366)" type of errors. Convert mac80211 to use IWEVASSOCREQIE/IWEVASSOCRESPIE to avoid the issue of being unable to send association IEs as wireless events. These newer event types use binary encoding and larger maximum size (IW_GENERIC_IE_MAX = 1024), so the likelyhood of not being able to send the IEs is much smaller than with IWEVCUSTOM. As an extra benefit, the code is also quite a bit simpler since there is no need to allocate an extra buffer for hex encoding.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a problem spotted with zebra, but not sure if it is necessary a kernel problem. With IPV6 when an address is added to an interface, Zebra creates a duplicate RIB entry, one as a connected route, and other as a kernel route. When an address is added to an interface the RTN_NEWADDR message causes Zebra to create a connected route. In IPV4 when an address is added to an interface a RTN_NEWROUTE message is set to user space with the protocol RTPROT_KERNEL. Zebra ignores these messages, because it already has the connected route. The problem is that route created in IPV6 has route protocol == RTPROT_BOOT. Was this a design decision or a bug? This fixes it. Same patch applies to both net-2.6 and stable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bit 4-5 of DSCP should not be considered by classify_d1. The 802.11 QoS Priority field is only depending on the precedence level. Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner <wagi@monom.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| * | mac80211: Handle scan result IEs in one blockJouni Malinen2008-08-292-159/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up and extend scan result processing by storing all the IEs from Beacon/Probe Response frames in a single block instead of allocating memory for each specific IE separately. This removes lot of unnecessary code and automatically supports reporting of new IEs (e.g., IEEE 802.11r) into user space without need to manually extend mac80211 scanning code whenever a new protocol adds IE(s).

| * | mac80211/cfg80211: Add BSS configuration options for AP modeJouni Malinen2008-08-292-0/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds a new cfg80211 command, NL80211_CMD_SET_BSS, to allow AP mode BSS parameters to be changed from user space (e.g., hostapd). The drivers using mac80211 are expected to be modified with separate changes to use the new BSS info parameter for short slot time in the bss_info_changed() handler.

* | | tcp: Skip empty hash buckets faster in /proc/net/tcpAndi Kleen2008-08-281-7/+19
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On most systems most of the TCP established/time-wait hash buckets are empty. When walking the hash table for /proc/net/tcp their read locks would always be aquired just to find out they're empty. This patch changes the code to check first if the buckets have any entries before taking the lock, which is much cheaper than taking a lock. Since the hash tables are large this makes a measurable difference on processing /proc/net/tcp, especially on architectures with slow read_lock (e.g. PPC) On a 2GB Core2 system time cat /proc/net/tcp > /dev/null (with a mostly empty hash table) goes from 0.046s to 0.005s. On systems with slower atomics (like P4 or POWER4) or larger hash tables (more RAM) the difference is much higher. This can be noticeable because there are some daemons around who regularly scan /proc/net/tcp. Original idea for this patch from Marcus Meissner, but redone by me.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can't access the cache entry outside of our critical read-locked region, because someone may free that entry. Also getting an entry under read lock, then locking for write and trying to delete that entry looks fishy, but should be no problem here, because we're only comparing a pointer. Also there is no need for our own rwlock, there is already one in the service structure for use in the schedulers.

And we also need to check in the critical region wether the destination is still available, i.e. it's not in the trash. If we drop our reference counter, the destination can be purged from the trash at any time. Our caller only guarantees that no destination is moved to the trash, while we are scheduling.
