2009-08-06net: Avoid enqueuing skb for default qdiscsKrishna Kumar
dev_queue_xmit enqueue's a skb and calls qdisc_run which dequeue's the skb and xmits it. In most cases, the skb that is enqueue'd is the same one that is dequeue'd (unless the queue gets stopped or multiple cpu's write to the same queue and ends in a race with qdisc_run). For default qdiscs, we can remove the redundant enqueue/dequeue and simply xmit the skb since the default qdisc is work-conserving. The patch uses a new flag - TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS to identify the default fast queue. The controversial part of the patch is incrementing qlen when a skb is requeued - this is to avoid checks like the second line below: + } else if ((q->flags & TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS) && !qdisc_qlen(q) && >> !q->gso_skb && + !test_and_set_bit(__QDISC_STATE_RUNNING, &q->state)) { Results of a 2 hour testing for multiple netperf sessions (1, 2, 4, 8, 12 sessions on a 4 cpu system-X).

2009-08-05net: implement a SO_DOMAIN getsockoptionJan Engelhardt
This sockopt goes in line with SO_TYPE and SO_PROTOCOL. It makes it possible for userspace programs to pass around file descriptors — I am referring to arguments-to-functions, but it may even work for the fd passing over UNIX sockets — without needing to also pass the auxiliary information (PF_INET6/IPPROTO_TCP).

2009-08-05net: implement a SO_PROTOCOL getsockoptionJan Engelhardt
Similar to SO_TYPE returning the socket type, SO_PROTOCOL allows to retrieve the protocol used with a given socket. I am not quite sure why we have that-many copies of socket.h, and why the values are not the same on all arches either, but for where hex numbers dominate, I use 0x1029 for SO_PROTOCOL as that seems to be the next free unused number across a bunch of operating systems, or so Google results make me want to believe. SO_PROTOCOL for others just uses the next free Linux number, 38. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-08-04mac80211: FIF_PSPOLL filter flagIgor Perminov
When an interface is configured in the AP mode, the mac80211 implementation doesn't inform the driver to receive PS Poll frames. It leads to inability to communicate with power-saving stations reliably. The FIF_CONTROL flag isn't passed by mac80211 to ieee80211_ops.configure_filter when an interface is in the AP mode. And it's ok, because we don't want to receive ACK frames and other control ones, but only PS Poll ones. This patch introduces the FIF_PSPOLL filter flag in addition to FIF_CONTROL, which means for the driver "pass PS Poll frames". This flag is passed to the driver: A) When an interface is configured in the AP mode. B) In all cases, when the FIF_CONTROL flag was passed earlier (in addition to it).

Since the bss is always set now once we are connected, if the bss has its own information element we refer to it and pass that instead of relying on mac80211's parsing. Now all cfg80211 drivers get country IE support, automatically and we reduce the call overhead that we had on mac80211 which called this upon every beacon and instead now call this only upon a successfull connection by a STA on cfg80211.

2009-08-04mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueueLuis R. Rodriguez
The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211 takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never really had requirements on drivers for how they should use the workqueue in consideration for suspend. We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue: * ieee80211_queue_work() * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work() These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211 flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times, but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the suspend cycle. Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work in the mac80211 stop() callback. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-08-02neigh: Convert garbage collection from softirq to workqueueEric Dumazet
Current neigh_periodic_timer() function is fired by timer IRQ, and scans one hash bucket each round (very litle work in fact) As we are supposed to scan whole hash table in 15 seconds, this means neigh_periodic_timer() can be fired very often. (depending on the number of concurrent hash entries we stored in this table) Converting this to a workqueue permits scanning whole table, minimizing icache pollution, and firing this work every 15 seconds, independantly of hash table size. This 15 seconds delay is not a hard number, as work is a deferrable one. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-07-30xfrm: select sane defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_threshNeil Horman
Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values (set to 1024). Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical. This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as the routing table can. For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash buckets in the route cache. Given that xfrm4 starts garbage collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 * gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size. For ipv6, its a bit trickier. there is no maximum route cache size, but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024. It seems sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4 code does).

When a station queries us for a PS-poll response, we wrongly queue the frame on the virtual interface's queue rather than the pending queue. Additionally, fix a race condition where we could potentially send multiple frames to the sleeping station due to using a station flag rather than a packet flag. When converting to a packet flag, we can also convert p54 and remove the filter clearing we added for it.

2009-07-27cfg80211: make aware of net namespacesJohannes Berg
In order to make cfg80211/nl80211 aware of network namespaces, we have to do the following things: * del_virtual_intf method takes an interface index rather than a netdev pointer - simply change this * nl80211 uses init_net a lot, it changes to use the sender's network namespace * scan requests use the interface index, hold a netdev pointer and reference instead * we want a wiphy and its associated virtual interfaces to be in one netns together, so - we need to be able to change ns for a given interface, so export dev_change_net_namespace() - for each virtual interface set the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL flag, and clear that flag only when the wiphy changes ns, to disallow breaking this invariant * when a network namespace goes away, we need to reparent the wiphy to init_net * cfg80211 users that support creating virtual interfaces must create them in the wiphy's namespace, currently this affects only mac80211 The end result is that you can now switch an entire wiphy into a different network namespace with the new command iw phy#<idx> set netns <pid> and all virtual interfaces will follow (or the operation fails).
