| * net: Add checking to rcu_dereference() primitivesPaul E. McKenney2010-02-251-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update rcu_dereference() primitives to use new lockdep-based checking. The rcu_dereference() in __in6_dev_get() may be protected either by rcu_read_lock() or RTNL, per Eric Dumazet. The rcu_dereference() in __sk_free() is protected by the fact that it is never reached if an update could change it. Check for this by using rcu_dereference_check() to verify that the struct sock's ->sk_wmem_alloc counter is zero. Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: David S.

| * | Bluetooth: Add controller types for BR/EDR and 802.11 AMPMarcel Holtmann2010-02-272-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the Bluetooth 3.0 specification and the introduction of alternate MAC/PHY (AMP) support, it is required to differentiate between primary BR/EDR controllers and 802.11 AMP controllers. So introduce a special type inside HCI device for differentiation. For now all AMP controllers will be treated as raw devices until an AMP manager has been implemented.

Devices allocated by rtnl_create_link() are marked as INITIALIZING in order to surpress netlink registration notifications. To complete setup, rtnl_configure_link() must be called, which performs the device flag changes and invokes the deferred notifiers if everything went well.

| * | nl80211: add power save commandsKalle Valo2010-02-191-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had, is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible to enable and disable power save via nl80211. I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it. Basically there were three reasons: Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent. Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and still make sense to users, will be very difficult. Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on. Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this. For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network and other traffic parameters. Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

| * | cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action framesJouni Malinen2010-02-152-2/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements a new command to register for action frames that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

Additionally change expectation deletion by helper to compare the name directly - there might be multiple helper registrations using the same name, currently one of them is chosen in an unpredictable manner and only those expectations are removed.

So, I created this patch. If IPVS is built-in you can append ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=?? to kernel command line, or, if you built IPVS as modules, you can add options ip_vs conn_tab_bits=??. To keep everything backward compatible, you still can select the size at compile time, and that will be used as default. It has been about a year since this patch was originally posted and subsequently dropped on the basis of insufficient test data. Mark Bergsma has provided the following test results which seem to strongly support the need for larger hash table sizes: We do however run into the same problem with the default setting (212 = 4096 entries), as most of our LVS balancers handle around a million connections/SLAB entries at any point in time (around 100-150 kpps load). With only 4096 hash table entries this implies that each entry consists of a linked list of 256 connections *on average*. To provide some statistics, I did an oprofile run on an 2.6.31 kernel, with both the default 4096 table size, and the same kernel recompiled with IP_VS_CONN_TAB_BITS set to 18 (218 = 262144 entries). I built a quick test setup with a part of Wikimedia/Wikipedia's live traffic mirrored by the switch to the test host. With the default setting, at ~ 120 kpps packet load we saw a typical %si CPU usage of around 30-35%, and oprofile reported a hot spot in ip_vs_conn_in_get: samples % image name app name symbol name 1719761 42.3741 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_in_get 302577 7.4554 bnx2 bnx2 /bnx2 181984 4.4840 vmlinux vmlinux __ticket_spin_lock 128636 3.1695 vmlinux vmlinux ip_route_input 74345 1.8318 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_out_get 68482 1.6874 vmlinux vmlinux mwait_idle After loading the recompiled kernel with 218 entries, %si CPU usage dropped in half to around 12-18%, and oprofile looks much healthier, with only 7% spent in ip_vs_conn_in_get: samples % image name app name symbol name 265641 14.4616 bnx2 bnx2 /bnx2 143251 7.7986 vmlinux vmlinux __ticket_spin_lock 140661 7.6576 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_in_get 94364 5.1372 vmlinux vmlinux mwait_idle 86267 4.6964 vmlinux vmlinux ip_route_input [ horms@verge.net.au: trivial up-port and minor style fixes ] Signed-off-by: Catalin(ux) M.

| * | | | mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleepJohannes Berg2010-02-081-6/+15

This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to fail. The reason we didn't do this previously is that the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep. This patch will keep the station allocation in that path, but moves adding the station to the driver out of line. Since the addition can now fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver rejected -- in that case we still talk to the station but never tell the driver about it in the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be a driver that has a low limit on the number of stations and that cannot talk to any stations that are not known to it, we need to do come up with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs, maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.
