* ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are acceptedTore Anderson2011-09-171-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch improves the logic determining when to send ICMPv6 Router Solicitations, so that they are 1) always sent when the kernel is accepting Router Advertisements, and 2) never sent when the kernel is not accepting RAs. In other words, the operational setting of the "accept_ra" sysctl is used. The change also makes the special "Hybrid Router" forwarding mode ("forwarding" sysctl set to 2) operate exactly the same as the standard Router mode (forwarding=1). The only difference between the two was that RSes was being sent in the Hybrid Router mode only. The sysctl documentation describing the special Hybrid Router mode has therefore been removed. Rationale for the change: Currently, the value of forwarding sysctl is the only thing determining whether or not to send RSes. If it has the value 0 or 2, they are sent, otherwise they are not. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in the following cases: * accept_ra=0, forwarding=0 * accept_ra=0, forwarding=2 * accept_ra=1, forwarding=2 * accept_ra=2, forwarding=1 In the first three cases, the kernel will send RSes, even though it will not accept any RAs received in reply. In the last case, it will not send any RSes, even though it will accept and process any RAs received. (Most routers will send unsolicited RAs periodically, so suppressing RSes in the last case will merely delay auto-configuration, not prevent it.) Also, it is my opinion that having the forwarding sysctl control RS sending behaviour (completely independent of whether RAs are being accepted or not) is simply not what most users would intuitively expect to be the case.

* can-gw: add netlink based CAN routingOliver Hartkopp2011-09-163-0/+973
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a CAN Gateway/Router to route (and modify) CAN frames. It is based on the PF_CAN core infrastructure for msg filtering and msg sending and can optionally modify routed CAN frames on the fly. CAN frames can *only* be routed between CAN network interfaces (one hop). They can be modified with AND/OR/XOR/SET operations as configured by the netlink configuration interface known e.g. from iptables. From the netlink view this can-gw implements RTM_{NEW|DEL|GET}ROUTE for PF_CAN. The CAN specific userspace tool to manage CAN routing entries can be found in the CAN utils http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/socketcan/trunk/can-utils/cangw.c at the SocketCAN SVN on BerliOS.

This makes it easier to read and less error prone. Since the old buffer was only 10 bytes long and the value is masked by a nibble-mask anyway, we don't need to use kstrtoul but rather kstrtou8.

Put ASSERT_RTNL there. - dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings() - changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls. - introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create() so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they are from other places. - use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> v2->v3: -removed dev_ethtool_get_settings() -added ASSERT_RTNL into __ethtool_get_settings() -prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo - use __dev_get_by_index() and lock around it and __ethtool_get_settings() call v1->v2: add missing export_symbol Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> [except FCoE bits] Acked-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * mac80211: fix race condition between assoc_done and first EAP packetGuy Eilam2011-08-264-60/+236
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When associating to an AP, the station might miss the first EAP packet that the AP sends due to a race condition between the association success procedure and the rx flow in mac80211. In such cases, the packet might fall in ieee80211_rx_h_check due to the fact that the relevant rx->sta wasn't allocated yet. Allocation of the relevant station info struct before actually sending the association request and setting it with a new dummy_sta flag solve this problem. The station will accept only EAP packets from the AP while it is in the pre-association/dummy state. This dummy station entry is not seen by normal sta_info_get() calls, only by sta_info_get_bss_rx(). The driver is not notified for the first insertion of the dummy station. The driver is notified only after the association is complete and the dummy flag is removed from the station entry. That way, all the rest of the code flow should be untouched by this change.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As described at [1] some STAs (i.e. Intel 5100 Windows) can end up correctly BlockAcking incoming frames without delivering them to user space if a AMPDU subframe got lost and we don't flush the receipients reorder buffer with a BlockAckReq. This in turn results in stuck connections. According to 802.11n-2009 it is not necessary to send a BAR to flush the recepients RX reorder buffer but we still do that to be polite. However, assume the following frame exchange: AP -> STA, AMPDU (failed) AP -> STA, BAR (failed) The client in question then ends up in the same situation and won't deliver frames to userspace anymore since we weren't able to flush its reorder buffer. This is not a hypothetical situation but I was able to observe this exact behavior during a stress test between a rt2800pci AP and a Intel 5100 Windows client. In order to work around this issue just tear down the BA session as soon as a BAR failed to be TX'ed.

* | Scm: Remove unnecessary pid & credential references in Unix socket's send ↵Tim Chen2011-08-251-16/+29

However, the atomic reference counts on pid and credentials caused plenty of cache bouncing when there are numerous threads of the same pid sharing a UNIX socket. This patch mitigates the problem by eliminating extraneous reference counts on pid and credentials on both send and receive path of UNIX sockets. I found a 2x improvement in hackbench's threaded case. On the receive path in unix_dgram_recvmsg, currently there is an increment of reference count on pid and credentials in scm_set_cred. Then there are two decrement of the reference counts. Once in scm_recv and once when skb_free_datagram call skb->destructor function unix_destruct_scm. One pair of increment and decrement of ref count on pid and credentials can be eliminated from the receive path. Until we destroy the skb, we already set a reference when we created the skb on the send side. On the send path, there are two increments of ref count on pid and credentials, once in scm_send and once in unix_scm_to_skb. Then there is a decrement of the reference counts in scm_destroy's call to scm_destroy_cred at the end of unix_dgram_sendmsg functions. One pair of increment and decrement of the reference counts can be removed so we only need to increment the ref counts once. By incorporating these changes, for hackbench running on a 4 socket NHM-EX machine with 40 cores, the execution of hackbench on 50 groups of 20 threads sped up by factor of 2.

* | Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP.Nandita Dukkipati2011-08-252-7/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) for TCP. PRR is an algorithm that determines TCP's sending rate in fast recovery. PRR avoids excessive window reductions and aims for the actual congestion window size at the end of recovery to be as close as possible to the window determined by the congestion control algorithm. PRR also improves accuracy of the amount of data sent during loss recovery. The patch implements the recommended flavor of PRR called PRR-SSRB (Proportional rate reduction with slow start reduction bound) and replaces the existing rate halving algorithm. PRR improves upon the existing Linux fast recovery under a number of conditions including: 1) burst losses where the losses implicitly reduce the amount of outstanding data (pipe) below the ssthresh value selected by the congestion control algorithm and, 2) losses near the end of short flows where application runs out of data to send. As an example, with the existing rate halving implementation a single loss event can cause a connection carrying short Web transactions to go into the slow start mode after the recovery. This is because during recovery Linux pulls the congestion window down to packets_in_flight+1 on every ACK. A short Web response often runs out of new data to send and its pipe reduces to zero by the end of recovery when all its packets are drained from the network. Subsequent HTTP responses using the same connection will have to slow start to raise cwnd to ssthresh. PRR on the other hand aims for the cwnd to be as close as possible to ssthresh by the end of recovery. A description of PRR and a discussion of its performance can be found at the following links: - IETF Draft: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mathis-tcpm-proportional-rate-reduction-01 - IETF Slides: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/80/slides/tcpm-6.pdf http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/81/slides/tcpm-2.pdf - Paper to appear in Internet Measurements Conference (IMC) 2011: Improving TCP Loss Recovery Nandita Dukkipati, Matt Mathis, Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Changes: C1) tpacket_rcv() C1.1) packet_current_frame() is replaced by packet_current_rx_frame() The bulk of the processing is then moved in the following chain: packet_current_rx_frame() __packet_lookup_frame_in_block fill_curr_block() or retire_current_block dispatch_next_block or return NULL(queue is plugged/paused) Signed-off-by: Chetan Loke <loke.chetan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
