2014-10-30net: dsa: Don't set skb->protocol on outgoing tagged packetsGuenter Roeck3-6/+0
Setting skb->protocol to a private protocol type may result in warning messages such as e1000e 0000:00:19.0 em1: checksum_partial proto=dada! This happens if the L3 protocol is IP or IPv6 and skb->ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. Looking through the code, it appears that changing skb->protocol for transmitted packets is not necessary and may actually be harmful. For example, it prevents purposely unmodified (from a DSA perspective) network drivers from properly setting up their transmit checksum offload pointers since they inspect skb->protocol to set up the IPv4 header or IPv6 header pointers. So don't unnecessarily change the protocol field. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2014-10-29net: ipv6: Add a sysctl to make optimistic addresses useful candidatesErik Kline4-2/+59
Add a sysctl that causes an interface's optimistic addresses to be considered equivalent to other non-deprecated addresses for source address selection purposes. Preferred addresses will still take precedence over optimistic addresses, subject to other ranking in the source address selection algorithm. This is useful where different interfaces are connected to different networks from different ISPs (e.g., a cell network and a home wifi network). The current behaviour complies with RFC 3484/6724, and it makes sense if the host has only one interface, or has multiple interfaces on the same network (same or cooperating administrative domain(s), but not in the multiple distinct networks case. For example, if a mobile device has an IPv6 address on an LTE network and then connects to IPv6-enabled wifi, while the wifi IPv6 address is undergoing DAD, IPv6 connections will try use the wifi default route with the LTE IPv6 address, and will get stuck until they time out. Also, because optimistic nodes can receive frames, issue an RTM_NEWADDR as soon as DAD starts (with the IFA_F_OPTIMSTIC flag appropriately set). A second RTM_NEWADDR is sent if DAD completes (the address flags have changed), otherwise an RTM_DELADDR is sent. Also: add an entry in ip-sysctl.txt for optimistic_dad.

2014-10-29tcp: allow for bigger reordering levelEric Dumazet6-12/+23
While testing upcoming Yaogong patch (converting out of order queue into an RB tree), I hit the max reordering level of linux TCP stack. Reordering level was limited to 127 for no good reason, and some network setups [1] can easily reach this limit and get limited throughput. Allow a new max limit of 300, and add a sysctl to allow admins to even allow bigger (or lower) values if needed.

This patch generalizes commit d6a4a1041176 ("tcp: GSO should be TSQ friendly") to protocols using skb_set_owner_w() TCP uses its own destructor (tcp_wfree) and needs a more complex scheme as explained in commit 6ff50cd55545 ("tcp: gso: do not generate out of order packets") This allows UDP sockets using UFO to get proper backpressure, thus avoiding qdisc drops and excessive cpu usage.

2014-10-29gianfar: Implement PAUSE frame generation supportMatei Pavaluca3-2/+93
The hardware can automatically generate pause frames when the number of free buffers drops under a certain threshold, but in order to do this, the address of the last free buffer needs to be written to a specific register for each RX queue. This has to be done in 'gfar_clean_rx_ring' which is called for each RX queue. In order not to impact performance, by adding a register write for each incoming packet, this operation is done only when the PAUSE frame transmission is enabled. Whenever the link is readjusted, this capability is turned on or off. Signed-off-by: Matei Pavaluca <matei.pavaluca@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-10-29Fix the way the local advertising flow options are determinedPavaluca Matei-B466101-1/+5
Local flow control options needed in order to resolve the negotiation are incorrectly calculated. Previously 'mii_advertise_flowctrl' was called to determine the local advertising options, but these were determined based on FLOW_CTRL_RX/TX flags which are never set through ethtool. The patch simply translates from ethtool flow options to mii flow options. Signed-off-by: Pavaluca Matei <matei.pavaluca@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Flow control flags need to be added to the supported capabilities of the phydev by the driver.

It was as pointed out by Thomas Graf that this helper would be best off living in netlink.h.

2014-10-27bridge: Add support for IEEE 802.11 Proxy ARPKyeyoon Park6-1/+72
This feature is defined in IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 10.23.13. It allows the AP devices to keep track of the hardware-address-to-IP-address mapping of the mobile devices within the WLAN network. The AP will learn this mapping via observing DHCP, ARP, and NS/NA frames. When a request for such information is made (i.e. ARP request, Neighbor Solicitation), the AP will respond on behalf of the associated mobile device. In the process of doing so, the AP will drop the multicast request frame that was intended to go out to the wireless medium. It was recommended at the LKS workshop to do this implementation in the bridge layer. vxlan.c is already doing something very similar. The DHCP snooping code will be added to the userspace application (hostapd) per the recommendation. This RFC commit is only for IPv4. A similar approach in the bridge layer will be taken for IPv6 as well. Signed-off-by: Kyeyoon Park <kyeyoonp@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
