* [SCTP]: Rewrite of sctp buffer management codeNeil Horman2007-10-111-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces autotuning to the sctp buffer management code similar to the TCP. The buffer space can be grown if the advertised receive window still has room. This might happen if small message sizes are used, which is common in telecom environmens. New tunables are introduced that provide limits to buffer growth and memory pressure is entered if to much buffer spaces is used.

* [NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfsSatyam Sharma2007-10-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated accordingly. Issues and brief design overview: (1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there. (2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus, netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of _this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls. (3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt. (4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API, that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure. netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to be used from netconsole.

* [TCP]: Move sack_ok access to obviously named funcs & cleanupIlpo Järvinen2007-10-111-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously code had IsReno/IsFack defined as macros that were local to tcp_input.c though sack_ok field has user elsewhere too for the same purpose. This changes them to static inlines as preferred according the current coding style and unifies the access to sack_ok across multiple files. Magic bitops of sack_ok for FACK and DSACK are also abstracted to functions with appropriate names. Note: - One sack_ok = 1 remains but that's self explanary, i.e., it enables sack - Couple of !IsReno cases are changed to tcp_is_sack - There were no users for IsDSack => I dropped it Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queueIlpo Järvinen2007-10-111-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously TCP had a transitional state during which reno counted segments that are already below the current window into sacked_out, which is now prevented. In addition, re-try now the unconditional S+L skb catching. This approach conservatively calls just remove_sack and leaves reset_sack() calls alone. The best solution to the whole problem would be to first calculate the new sacked_out fully (this patch does not move reno_sack_reset calls from original sites and thus does not implement this). However, that would require very invasive change to fastretrans_alert (perhaps even slicing it to two halves). Alternatively, all callers of tcp_packets_in_flight (i.e., users that depend on sacked_out) should be postponed until the new sacked_out has been calculated but it isn't any simpler alternative.

* [TCP]: Left out sync->verify (the new meaning of it) & definifyIlpo Järvinen2007-10-111-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Left_out was dropped a while ago, thus leaving verifying consistency of the "left out" as only task for the function in question. Thus make it's name more appropriate. In addition, it is intentionally converted to #define instead of static inline because the location of the invariant failure is the most important thing to have if this ever triggers. I think it would have been helpful e.g. in this case where the location of the failure point had to be based on some quesswork: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/2/464 ...Luckily the guesswork seems to have proved to be correct.

* [NET]: Virtual ethernet device driver.Pavel Emelyanov2007-10-111-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Veth stands for Virtual ETHernet. It is a simple tunnel driver that works at the link layer and looks like a pair of ethernet devices interconnected with each other. Mainly it allows to communicate between network namespaces but it can be used as is as well. The newlink callback is organized that way to make it easy to create the peer device in the separate namespace when we have them in kernel. This implementation uses another interface - the RTM_NRELINK message introduced by Patric. Bug fixes from Daniel Lezcano.

* [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger2007-10-112-86/+330
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device. With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier, Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim. Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra, Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan. [ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similarly to CTS protection, whether short preambles are used for 802.11b transmissions should be a per-subif setting, not device global. For STAs, this patch makes short preamble handling automatic based on the ERP IE. For APs, hostapd still uses the prism ioctls, but the write ioctl has been restricted to AP-only subifs. ieee80211_txrx_data.short_preamble (an unused field) was removed. Unfortunately, some API changes were required for the following functions: - ieee80211_generic_frame_duration - ieee80211_rts_duration - ieee80211_ctstoself_duration - ieee80211_rts_get - ieee80211_ctstoself_get Affected drivers were updated accordingly.

* [MAC80211]: Add LONG_RETRY flag to ieee80211_tx_controlIvo van Doorn2007-10-111-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mac80211 informs the driver what the short and long retry values are through set_retry_limit(), but when packets are being transmitted it did not inform the driver which of the 2 retry limits should actually be used. Instead it sends the actual value, but for drivers that can only set the retry limit and the register and in the descriptor need to indicate which of the limits should be used this is not really useful. This patch will add a IEEE80211_TXCTL_LONG_RETRY_LIMIT flag to the ieee80211_tx_control structure. By default the short retry limit should be used but if the flag is set the long retry should be used. This does not prevent the driver to ignore the request for "no retry" packets, but at least those will be send out with the short retry limit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically commented in include/linux/prefetch.h. But in standard C, it is invalid to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and note #84). prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument. Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x" argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was inlined. Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint. [ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no cases known.

This patch will add some missing syscalls which make sense on Blackfin arch After appling this patch, toolchain should be rebuilt. Then recompiling the kernel with the new toolchain.

The idea is to store a value with one relocation so that subsequent ones can access it. Actually, this patch is required for Blackfin. Currently if BINFMT_FLAT is enabled, git-tree kernel will fail to compile.

* | i386: remove bogus comment about memory barrierNick Piggin2007-09-291-5/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The comment being removed by this patch is incorrect and misleading. In the following situation: 1. load ... 2. store 1 -> X 3. wmb 4. rmb 5. load a <- Y 6. store ... 4 will only ensure ordering of 1 with 5. 3 will only ensure ordering of 2 with 6. Further, a CPU with strictly in-order stores will still only provide that 2 and 6 are ordered (effectively, it is the same as a weakly ordered CPU with wmb after every store). In all cases, 5 may still be executed before 2 is visible to other CPUs! The additional piece of the puzzle that mb() provides is the store/load ordering, which fundamentally cannot be achieved with any combination of rmb()s and wmb()s. This can be an unexpected result if one expected any sort of global ordering guarantee to barriers (eg. that the barriers themselves are sequentially consistent with other types of barriers). However sfence or lfence barriers need only provide an ordering partial ordering of memory operations -- Consider that wmb may be implemented as nothing more than inserting a special barrier entry in the store queue, or, in the case of x86, it can be a noop as the store queue is in order. And an rmb may be implemented as a directive to prevent subsequent loads only so long as their are no previous outstanding loads (while there could be stores still in store queues). I can actually see the occasional load/store being reordered around lfence on my core2. That doesn't prove my above assertions, but it does show the comment is wrong (unless my program is -- can send it out by request). So: mb() and smp_mb() always have and always will require a full mfence or lock prefixed instruction on x86. And we should remove this comment.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based upon a report and initial patch by Peter Lieven. tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key need to start with the exact same members as tcp_md5sig_key. Because they are both cast to that type by tcp_v{4,6}_md5_do_lookup(). Unfortunately tcp{4,6}_md5sig_key use a u16 for the key length instead of a u8, which is what tcp_md5sig_key uses. This just so happens to work by accident on little-endian, but on big-endian it doesn't. Instead of casting, just place tcp_md5sig_key as the first member of the address-family specific structures, adjust the access sites, and kill off the ugly casts. Signed-off-by: David S.

* Revert "x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E"Linus Torvalds2007-09-271-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit e66485d747505e9d960b864fc6c37f8b2afafaf0, since Rafael Wysocki noticed that the change only works for his in -mm, not in mainline (and that both "noapictimer" _and_ "apicmaintimer" are broken on his hardware, but that's apparently not a regression, just a symptom of the same issue that causes the automatic apic timer disable to not work). It turns out that it really doesn't work correctly on x86-64, since x86-64 doesn't use the generic clock events for timers yet. Thanks to Rafal for testing, and here's the ugly details on x86-64 as per Thomas: "I just looked into the code and the logic vs. noapictimer on SMP is completely broken. On i386 the noapictimer option not only disables the local APIC timer, it also registers the CPUs for broadcasting via IPI on SMP systems. The x86-64 code uses the broadcast only when the local apic timer is active, i.e. "noapictimer" is not on the command line. This defeats the whole purpose of "noapictimer". It should be there to make boxen work, where the local APIC timer actually has a hardware problem, e.g. the nx6325. The current implementation of x86_64 only fixes the ACPI c-states related problem where the APIC timer stops in C3(2), nothing else. On nx6325 and other AMD X2 equipped systems which have the C1E enabled we run into the following: PIT keeps jiffies (and the system) running, but the local APIC timer interrupts can get out of sync due to this C1E effect. I don't think this is a critical problem, but it is wrong nevertheless. I think it's safe to revert the C1E patch and postpone the fix to the clock events conversion." On further reflection, Thomas noted: "It's even worse than I thought on the first check: "noapictimer" on the command line of an SMP box prevents _ONLY_ the boot CPU apic timer from being used. But the secondary CPU is still unconditionally setting up the APIC timer and uses the non calibrated variable calibration_result, which is of course 0, to setup the APIC timer. Wreckage guaranteed." so we'll just have to wait for the x86 merge to hopefully fix this up for x86-64. Tested-and-requested-by: Rafael J.

* x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1EThomas Gleixner2007-09-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 3556ddfa9284a86a59a9b78fe5894430f6ab4eef titled [PATCH] x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E solves a problem with AMD dual core laptops e.g. HP nx6325 (Turion 64 X2) with C1E enabled: When both cores go into idle at the same time, then the system switches into C1E state, which is basically the same as C3. This stops the local apic timer. This was debugged right after the dyntick merge on i386 and despite the patch title it fixes only the 32 bit path. x86_64 is still missing this fix. It seems that mainline is not really affected by this issue, as the PIT is running and keeps jiffies incrementing, but that's just waiting for trouble. -mm suffers from this problem due to the x86_64 high resolution timer patches. This is a quick and dirty port of the i386 code to x86_64. I spent quite a time with Rafael to debug the -mm / hrt wreckage until someone pointed us to this. I really had forgotten that we debugged this half a year ago already. Sigh, is it just me or is there something yelling arch/x86 into my ear?
