2008-08-11ipvs: Explictly clear ip_vs_stats membersSimon Horman1-1/+14
In order to align the coding styles of ip_vs_zero_stats() and its child-function ip_vs_zero_estimator(), clear ip_vs_stats members explicitlty rather than doing a limited memset(). This was chosen over modifying ip_vs_zero_estimator() to use memset() as it is more robust against changes in members in the relevant structures. memset() would be prefered if all members of the structure were to be cleared.

2008-08-11ipvs: Embed estimator object into stats objectSven Wegener2-80/+39
There's no reason for dynamically allocating an estimator object for every stats object. Directly embed an estimator object into every stats object and switch to using the kernel-provided list implementation. This makes the code much simpler and faster, as we do not need to traverse the list of all estimators to find the one belonging to a stats object. There's no need to use an rwlock, as we only have one reader. Also reorder the members of the estimator structure slightly to avoid padding overhead. This can't be done with the stats object as the members are currently copied to our user space object via memcpy() and changing it would break ABI.

2008-08-11ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in estimator codeSven Wegener1-2/+5
There is a slight chance for a deadlock in the estimator code. We can't call del_timer_sync() while holding our lock, as the timer might be active and spinning for the lock on another cpu. Work around this issue by using try_to_del_timer_sync() and releasing the lock. We could actually delete the timer outside of our lock, as the add and kill functions are only every called from userspace via [gs]etsockopt() and are serialized by a mutex, but better make this explicit.

2008-08-09udp: Drop socket lock for encapsulated packetsHerbert Xu2-5/+7
The socket lock is there to protect the normal UDP receive path. Encapsulation UDP sockets don't need that protection. In fact the locking is deadly for them as they may contain another UDP packet within, possibly with the same addresses. Also the nested bit was copied from TCP. TCP needs it because of accept(2) spawning sockets. This simply doesn't apply to UDP so I've removed it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.

2008-08-07pktgen: multiqueue etc.Robert Olsson1-3/+34
Sofar far pktgen have had a restriction to only use one device per kernel thread. With the new multiqueue architecture this is no longer adequate. The patch below is an effort to remove this by in pktgen configuration adding a tag to the device name a la eth0@0 etc. The tag is used for usual device config just as before. Also a new flag is introduced to mirror queue_map with sending threads smp_processor_id() QUEUE_MAP_CPU. An example: We use 4 CPU's to send to one 10g interface (eth0) and we use the new tagging to send a mix of packet sizes, 64, 576 and 1500 bytes. Also we use TX queues according to smp_processor_id() PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0 pgset "add_device eth0@0" PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_1 pgset "add_device eth0@1" PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_2 pgset "add_device eth0@2" PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_3 pgset "add_device eth0@3" ....

2008-08-06tcp: Fix kernel panic when calling tcp_v(4/6)_md5_do_lookupGui Jianfeng5-8/+12
If the following packet flow happen, kernel will panic. MathineA MathineB SYN ----------------------> SYN+ACK <---------------------- ACK(bad seq) ----------------------> When a bad seq ACK is received, tcp_v4_md5_do_lookup(skb->sk, ip_hdr(skb)->daddr)) is finally called by tcp_v4_reqsk_send_ack(), but the first parameter(skb->sk) is NULL at that moment, so kernel panic happens.

2008-08-05bridge: Eliminate unnecessary forward delayStephen Hemminger1-7/+18
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Based upon original patch by Herbert Xu, which contained the following problem description: -------------------- When the forward delay is set to zero, we still delay the setting of the forwarding state by one or possibly two timers depending on whether STP is enabled. This could either turn out to be instantaneous, or horribly slow depending on the load of the machine. As there is nothing preventing us from enabling forwarding straight away, this patch eliminates this potential delay by executing the code directly if the forward delay is zero. The effect of this problem is that immediately after the carrier comes on a port, the bridge will drop all packets received from that port until it enters forwarding mode, thus causing unnecessary packet loss. Note that this patch doesn't fully remove the delay due to the link watcher. We should also check the carrier state when we are about to drop an incoming packet because the port is disabled. But that's for another patch. -------------------- This version of the fix takes a different approach, in that it just does the state change directly. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-08-04net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_BYPASS flagJarek Poplawski9-17/+16
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed that it would be nice to handle NET_XMIT_BYPASS by NET_XMIT_SUCCESS with an internal qdisc flag __NET_XMIT_BYPASS and to remove the mapping from dev_queue_xmit(). David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> spotted a serious bug in the first version of this patch. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-08-04net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_STOLEN flagJarek Poplawski10-33/+54
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed: "The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs' qlen counters." and later explained: "The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though. This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN, return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS." David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed: "Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific attributes. So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT" The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller, such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way." This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

2008-08-04mac80211: automatic IBSS channel selectionDaniel Drake1-4/+16
When joining an ad-hoc network, the user is currently required to specify the channel. The network will not be joined otherwise, unless it happens to be sitting on the currently active channel. This patch implements automatic channel selection when the user has not locked the interface onto a specific channel.

2008-08-04mac80211: make listen_interval be limited by low level driverTomas Winkler2-2/+9
This patch makes possible for a driver to specify maximal listen interval The possibility for user to configure listen interval is not implemented yet, currently the maximum provided by the driver or 1 is used. Mac80211 uses config handler to set listen interval for to the driver.

2008-08-03net: eliminate refcounting in backlog queueStephen Hemminger1-7/+16
Avoid the overhead of atomic increment/decrement on each received packet. This helps performance of non-NAPI devices (like loopback). Use cleanup function to walk queue on each cpu and clean out any left over packets. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
