2009-10-06net: speedup sk_wake_async()Eric Dumazet1-0/+3
An incoming datagram must bring into cpu cache *lot* of cache lines, in particular : (other parts omitted (hash chains, ip route cache...)) On 32bit arches : offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf) =0x30 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) =0x34 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_sleep) =0x50 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc) =0x64 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0x74 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x98 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_callback_lock)=0xcc (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0xd8 (read if we add dropcount support, rw if frame dropped) offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter) =0xf8 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_socket) =0x138 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_data_ready) =0x15c (read) We can avoid sk->sk_socket and socket->fasync_list referencing on sockets with no fasync() structures. (socket->fasync_list ptr is probably already in cache because it shares a cache line with socket->wait, ie location pointed by sk->sk_sleep) This avoids one cache line load per incoming packet for common cases (no fasync()) We can leave (or even move in a future patch) sk->sk_socket in a cold location Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-05wext: let get_wireless_stats() sleepJohannes Berg1-2/+2
A number of drivers (recently including cfg80211-based ones) assume that all wireless handlers, including statistics, can sleep and they often also implicitly assume that the rtnl is held around their invocation.

2009-10-05net: export device speed and duplex via sysfsAndy Gospodarek1-0/+40
This patch exports the link-speed (in Mbps) and duplex of an interface via sysfs. This eliminates the need to use ethtool just to check the link-speed. Not requiring 'ethtool' and not relying on the SIOCETHTOOL ioctl should be helpful in an embedded environment where space is at a premium as well. NOTE: This patch also intentionally allows non-root users to check the link speed and duplex -- something not possible with ethtool. Here's some sample output: # cat /sys/class/net/eth0/speed 100 # cat /sys/class/net/eth0/duplex half # ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: Not reported Advertised auto-negotiation: No Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Half Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: off Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x000000ff (255) Link detected: yes Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-05af_packet: add interframe drop cmsg (v6)Neil Horman1-0/+33
Add Ancilliary data to better represent loss information I've had a few requests recently to provide more detail regarding frame loss during an AF_PACKET packet capture session. Specifically the requestors want to see where in a packet sequence frames were lost, i.e. they want to see that 40 frames were lost between frames 302 and 303 in a packet capture file. In order to do this we need: 1) The kernel to export this data to user space 2) The applications to make use of it This patch addresses item (1). It does this by doing the following: A) Anytime we drop a frame for which we would increment po->stats.tp_drops, we also no increment a stats called po->stats.tp_gap. B) Every time we successfully enqueue a frame to sk_receive_queue, we record the value of po->stats.tp_gap in skb->mark. skb->cb would nominally be the place to record this, but since all the space there is used up, we're overloading skb->mark. Its safe to do since any enqueued packet is guaranteed to be unshared at this point, and skb->mark isn't used for anything else in the rx path to the application. After we record tp_gap in the skb, we zero po->stats.tp_gap. This allows us to keep a counter of the number of frames lost between any two enqueued packets C) When the application goes to dequeue a frame from the packet socket, we look at skb->mark for that frame. If it is non-zero, we add a cmsg chunk to the msghdr of level SOL_PACKET and type PACKET_GAPDATA. Its a 32 bit integer that represents the number of frames lost between this packet and the last previous frame received. Note there is a chance that if there is frame loss after a receive, and then the socket is closed, some gap data might be lost. This is covered by the use of the PACKET_AUXDATA socket option, which gives total loss data. With a bit of math, the final gap can be determined that way. I've tested this patch myself, and it works well.

2009-10-05icmp: No need to call sk_write_space()Eric Dumazet1-0/+4
We can make icmp messages tx completion callback a litle bit faster. Setting SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE sk flag tells sock_wfree() to not call sk_write_space() on a socket we know no thread is posssibly waiting for write space. (on per cpu kernel internal icmp sockets only) This avoids the sock_def_write_space() call and read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)/read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) calls as well.

2009-10-04pktgen: Fix multiqueue handlingEric Dumazet1-1/+1
It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue. When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly. I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender. This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one. Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.

2009-10-02net: splice() from tcp to pipe should take into account O_NONBLOCKEric Dumazet1-1/+1
tcp_splice_read() doesnt take into account socket's O_NONBLOCK flag Before this patch : splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE); causes a random endless block (if pipe is full) and splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK); will return 0 immediately if the TCP buffer is empty. User application has no way to instruct splice() that socket should be in blocking mode but pipe in nonblock more. Many projects cannot use splice(tcp -> pipe) because of this flaw. http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=history;f=source3/lib/recvfile.c;h=ea0159642137390a0f7e57a123684e6e63e47581;hb=HEAD http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0807.2/0687.html Linus introduced SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK in commit 29e350944fdc2dfca102500790d8ad6d6ff4f69d (splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag ) It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations nonblocking. Linus intention was clear : let SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK control the splice pipe mode only This patch instruct tcp_splice_read() to use the underlying file O_NONBLOCK flag, as other socket operations do. Users will then call : splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK ); to block on data coming from socket (if file is in blocking mode), and not block on pipe output (to avoid deadlock) First version of this patch was submitted by Octavian Purdila Reported-by: Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org> Reported-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@obsidianresearch.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-01IPv4 TCP fails to send window scale option when window scale is zeroOri Finkelman1-5/+6
Acknowledge TCP window scale support by inserting the proper option in SYN/ACK and SYN headers even if our window scale is zero. This fixes the following observed behavior: 1. Client sends a SYN with TCP window scaling option and non zero window scale value to a Linux box. 2. Linux box notes large receive window from client. 3. Linux decides on a zero value of window scale for its part. 4. Due to compare against requested window scale size option, Linux does not to send windows scale TCP option header on SYN/ACK at all. With the following result: Client box thinks TCP window scaling is not supported, since SYN/ACK had no TCP window scale option, while Linux thinks that TCP window scaling is supported (and scale might be non zero), since SYN had TCP window scale option and we have a mismatched idea between the client and server regarding window sizes. Probably it also fixes up the following bug (not observed in practice): 1. Linux box opens TCP connection to some server. 2. Linux decides on zero value of window scale. 3. Due to compare against computed window scale size option, Linux does not to set windows scale TCP option header on SYN. With the expected result that the server OS does not use window scale option due to not receiving such an option in the SYN headers, leading to suboptimal performance.

2009-09-29mac80211: Fix [re]association power saving issue on AP sideIgor Perminov1-1/+4
Consider the following step-by step: 1. A STA authenticates and associates with the AP and exchanges traffic. 2. The STA reports to the AP that it is going to PS state. 3. Some time later the STA device goes to the stand-by mode (not only its wi-fi card, but the device itself) and drops the association state without sending a disassociation frame. 4. The STA device wakes up and begins authentication with an Auth frame as it hasn't been authenticated/associated previously. At the step 4 the AP "remembers" the STA and considers it is still in the PS state, so the AP buffers frames, which it has to send to the STA. But the STA isn't actually in the PS state and so it neither checks TIM bits nor reports to the AP that it isn't power saving. Because of that authentication/[re]association fails. To fix authentication/[re]association stage of this issue, Auth, Assoc Resp and Reassoc Resp frames are transmitted disregarding of STA's power saving state. N.B. This patch doesn't fix further data frame exchange after authentication/[re]association. A patch in hostapd is required to fix that.

When wpa_supplicant is used to connect to open networks, it causes the wdev->wext.keys to point to key memory, but that key memory is all empty. Only use privacy when there is a default key to be used. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Tested-by: Luis R.

Currently, cfg80211's SIOCGIWAP implementation returns the BSSID that the user set, even if the connection has since been dropped due to other changes. It only should return the current BSSID when actually connected. Also do a small code cleanup. Reported-by: Thomas H.

2009-09-28net: Add explicit bound checks in net/socket.cArjan van de Ven1-1/+6
The sys_socketcall() function has a very clever system for the copy size of its arguments. Unfortunately, gcc cannot deal with this in terms of proving that the copy_from_user() is then always in bounds. This is the last (well 9th of this series, but last in the kernel) such case around. With this patch, we can turn on code to make having the boundary provably right for the whole kernel, and detect introduction of new security accidents of this type early on.

2009-09-28bridge: Fix double-free in br_add_if.Jeff Hansen1-0/+1
There is a potential double-kfree in net/bridge/br_if.c. If br_fdb_insert fails, then the kobject is put back (which calls kfree due to the kobject release), and then kfree is called again on the net_bridge_port. This patch fixes the crash. Thanks to Stephen Hemminger for the one-line fix. Signed-off-by: Jeff Hansen <x@jeffhansen.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-09-26Revert "sit: stateless autoconf for isatap"Sascha Hlusiak2-59/+0
This reverts commit 645069299a1c7358cf7330afe293f07552f11a5d. While the code does not actually break anything, it does not completely follow RFC5214 yet. After talking back with Fred L. Templin, I agree that completing the ISATAP specific RS/RA code, would pollute the kernel a lot with code that is better implemented in userspace. The kernel should not send RS packages for ISATAP at all. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hlusiak <contact@saschahlusiak.de> Acked-by: Fred L. Templin <Fred.L.Templin@boeing.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-09-24tunnel: eliminate recursion fieldEric Dumazet4-35/+1
It seems recursion field from "struct ip_tunnel" is not anymore needed. recursion prevention is done at the upper level (in dev_queue_xmit()), since we use HARD_TX_LOCK protection for tunnels. This avoids a cache line ping pong on "struct ip_tunnel" : This structure should be now mostly read on xmit and receive paths.
