2011-10-16if_link: Add additional parameter to IFLA_VF_INFO for spoof checkingGreg Rose
Add configuration setting for drivers to turn spoof checking on or off for discrete VFs. v2 - Fix indentation problem, wrap the ifla_vf_info structure in #ifdef __KERNEL__ to prevent user space from accessing and change function paramater for the spoof check setting netdev op from u8 to bool. v3 - Preset spoof check setting to -1 so that user space tools such as ip can detect that the driver didn't report a spoofcheck setting. Prevents incorrect display of spoof check settings for drivers that don't report it. Signed-off-by: Greg Rose <gregory.v.rose@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

2011-10-14mac80211: Populate radiotap header with MCS info for TX framesHelmut Schaa
mac80211 already filled in the MCS rate info for rx'ed frames but tx'ed frames that are sent to a monitor interface during the status callback lack this information. Add the radiotap fields for MCS info to ieee80211_tx_status_rtap_hdr and populate them when sending tx'ed frames to the monitors. The needed headroom is only extended by one byte since we don't include legacy rate information in the rtap header for HT frames.

2011-10-14mac80211: Build TX radiotap header dynamicallyHelmut Schaa
Get rid of the ieee80211_tx_status_rtap_hdr struct and instead build the rtap header dynamically. This makes it easier to extend the rtap header generation in the future. Add ieee80211_tx_radiotap_len to calculate the expected size of the rtap header before generating it. Since we can't check if the rtap header fits into the requested headroom during compile time anymore add a WARN_ON_ONCE. Also move the actual rtap header generation into its own function.

2011-10-13net: more accurate skb truesizeEric Dumazet
skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head. kmalloc() roundings are also ignored. Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to take it into account for better memory accounting. This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various assumptions into a single place. At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks. Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are aligned to cache lines, as before. Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a more accurate memory accounting.

2011-10-12net-netlink: Add a new attribute to expose TOS values via netlinkMurali Raja
This patch exposes the tos value for the TCP sockets when the TOS flag is requested in the ext_flags for the inet_diag request. This would mainly be used to expose TOS values for both for TCP and UDP sockets. Currently it is supported for TCP. When netlink support for UDP would be added the support to expose the TOS values would alse be done. For IPV4 tos value is exposed and for IPV6 tclass value is exposed.

2011-10-11mac80211: dont orphan TX skbJohannes Berg
This was another workaround for truesize "bugs". The reason we did this was that when we orphaned the SKB it wouldn't be truesize-checked later. Now that the check is gone (and we just charge the former smaller size to the socket) there's no longer a reason to orphan the skb here. Keep the skb charged to the socket until it is really freed (or orphaned in TX status). This helps flow control and allows us to get at the socket later for other purposes.

2011-10-11mac80211: dont adjust truesizeJohannes Berg
There's no need to adjust truesize. The history of this was that we always ran into skb_truesize_bug (via skb_truesize_check) which has since been removed in commit 92a0acce186cd. skb_truesize_check() checked that truesize was bigger or equal to the actual allocation, which would trigger in mac80211 due to header adding.

2011-10-06bridge: allow forwarding some link local framesstephen hemminger
This is based on an earlier patch by Nick Carter with comments by David Lamparter but with some refinements. Thanks for their patience this is a confusing area with overlap of standards, user requirements, and compatibility with earlier releases. It adds a new sysfs attribute /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask that controls forwarding of frames with address of: 01-80-C2-00-00-0X The default setting has no forwarding to retain compatibility. One change from earlier releases is that forwarding of group addresses is not dependent on STP being enabled or disabled. This choice was made based on interpretation of tie 802.1 standards. I expect complaints will arise because of this, but better to follow the standard than continue acting incorrectly by default. The filtering mask is writeable, but only values that don't forward known control frames are allowed. It intentionally blocks attempts to filter control protocols. For example: writing a 8 allows forwarding 802.1X PAE addresses which is the most common request.

2011-10-04tcp: properly update lost_cnt_hint during shiftingYan, Zheng
lost_skb_hint is used by tcp_mark_head_lost() to mark the first unhandled skb. lost_cnt_hint is the number of packets or sacked packets before the lost_skb_hint; When shifting a skb that is before the lost_skb_hint, if tcp_is_fack() is ture, the skb has already been counted in the lost_cnt_hint; if tcp_is_fack() is false, tcp_sacktag_one() will increase the lost_cnt_hint. So tcp_shifted_skb() does not need to adjust the lost_cnt_hint by itself. When shifting a skb that is equal to lost_skb_hint, the shifted packets will not be counted by tcp_mark_head_lost(). So tcp_shifted_skb() should adjust the lost_cnt_hint even tcp_is_fack(tp) is true. Signed-off-by: Zheng Yan <zheng.z.yan@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-10-03mac80211: Send nullfunc frames at lower rate during connection monitorRajkumar Manoharan
Recently mac80211 was changed to use nullfunc instead of probe request for connection monitoring for tx ack status reporting hardwares. Sometimes in congested network, STA got disconnected quickly after the association. It was observered that the rate control was not adopted to environment due to minimal transmission. As the nullfunc are used for monitoring purpose, these frames should not be sacrificed for rate control updation.

2011-10-03make PACKET_STATISTICS getsockopt report consistently between ring and non-ringWillem de Bruijn
This is a minor change. Up until kernel 2.6.32, getsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_STATISTICS, ...) would return total and dropped packets since its last invocation. The introduction of socket queue overflow reporting [1] changed drop rate calculation in the normal packet socket path, but not when using a packet ring. As a result, the getsockopt now returns different statistics depending on the reception method used. With a ring, it still returns the count since the last call, as counts are incremented in tpacket_rcv and reset in getsockopt. Without a ring, it returns 0 if no drops occurred since the last getsockopt and the total drops over the lifespan of the socket otherwise. The culprit is this line in packet_rcv, executed on a drop: drop_n_acct: po->stats.tp_drops = atomic_inc_return(&sk->sk_drops); As it shows, the new drop number it taken from the socket drop counter, which is not reset at getsockopt. I put together a small example that demonstrates the issue [2]. It runs for 10 seconds and overflows the queue/ring on every odd second. The reported drop rates are: ring: 16, 0, 16, 0, 16, ... non-ring: 0, 15, 0, 30, 0, 46, 0, 60, 0 , 74. Note how the even ring counts monotonically increase. Because the getsockopt adds tp_drops to tp_packets, total counts are similarly reported cumulatively. Long story short, reinstating the original code, as the below patch does, fixes the issue at the cost of additional per-packet cycles. Another solution that does not introduce per-packet overhead is be to keep the current data path, record the value of sk_drops at getsockopt() at call N in a new field in struct packetsock and subtract that when reporting at call N+1. I'll be happy to code that, instead, it's just more messy.

2011-09-30mac80211: allow out-of-band EOSP notificationJohannes Berg
iwlwifi has a separate EOSP notification from the device, and to make use of that properly it needs to be passed to mac80211. To be able to mix with tx_status_irqsafe and rx_irqsafe it also needs to be an "_irqsafe" version in the sense that it goes through the tasklet, the actual flag clearing would be IRQ-safe but doing it directly would cause reordering issues. This is needed in the case of a P2P GO going into an absence period without transmitting any frames that should be driver-released as in this case there's no other way to inform mac80211 that the service period ended.

2011-09-30mac80211: explicitly notify drivers of frame releaseJohannes Berg
iwlwifi needs to know the number of frames that are going to be sent to a station while it is asleep so it can properly handle the uCode blocking of that station. Before uAPSD, we got by by telling the device that a single frame was going to be released whenever we encountered IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE. With uAPSD, however, that is no longer possible since there could be more than a single frame. To support this model, add a new callback to notify drivers when frames are going to be released.

2011-09-30mac80211: reply only once to each PS-pollJohannes Berg
If a PS-poll frame is retried (but was received) there is no way to detect that since it has no sequence number. As a consequence, the standard asks us to not react to PS-poll frames until the response to one made it out (was ACKed or lost). Implement this by using the WLAN_STA_SP flags to also indicate a PS-Poll "service period" and the IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag for the response packet to indicate the end of the "SP" as usual. We could use separate flags, but that will most likely completely confuse drivers, and while the standard doesn't exclude simultaneously polling using uAPSD and PS-Poll, doing that seems quite problematic.
