2009-06-24percpu: cleanup percpu array definitionsTejun Heo
Currently, the following three different ways to define percpu arrays are in use. 1. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type[array_len], array_name); 2. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type, array_name[array_len]); 3. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type, array_name)[array_len]; Unify to #1 which correctly separates the roles of the two parameters and thus allows more flexibility in the way percpu variables are defined.

2009-06-18net: group address list and its countJiri Pirko
This patch is inspired by patch recently posted by Johannes Berg. Basically what my patch does is to group list and a count of addresses into newly introduced structure netdev_hw_addr_list. This brings us two benefits: 1) struct net_device becames a bit nicer. 2) in the future there will be a possibility to operate with lists independently on netdevices (with exporting right functions). I wanted to introduce this patch before I'll post a multicast lists conversion.

2009-06-18ipv4: Fix fib_trie rebalancing, part 2Jarek Poplawski
My previous patch, which explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the list to flush them after the update is finished, isn't strict enough. It treats exceptionally tnodes without parent, assuming they are newly created, so "invisible" for the read side yet. But the top tnode doesn't have parent as well, so we have to exclude all exceptions (at least until a better way is found). Additionally we need to move rcu assignment of this node before flushing, so the return type of the trie_rebalance() function is changed.

2009-06-16page allocator: use a pre-calculated value instead of num_online_nodes() in ↵Christoph Lameter
fast paths num_online_nodes() is called in a number of places but most often by the page allocator when deciding whether the zonelist needs to be filtered based on cpusets or the zonelist cache. This is actually a heavy function and touches a number of cache lines. This patch stores the number of online nodes at boot time and updates the value when nodes get onlined and offlined. The value is then used in a number of important paths in place of num_online_nodes().

Patch calls the PM callback functions of iucv-bus devices, which are responsible for removal of their established iucv pathes. The PM freeze callback for the first iucv-bus device disables all iucv interrupts except the connection severed interrupt. The PM freeze callback for the last iucv-bus device shuts down iucv. The PM thaw callback for the first iucv-bus device re-enables iucv if it has been shut down during freeze. If freezing has been interrupted, it re-enables iucv interrupts according to the needs of iucv-exploiters. The PM restore callback for the first iucv-bus device re-enables iucv.

2009-06-15mac80211: fix wext bssid/ssid settingJohannes Berg
When changing to a new BSSID or SSID, the code in ieee80211_set_disassoc() needs to have the old data still valid to be able to disconnect and clean up properly. Currently, however, the old data is thrown away before ieee80211_set_disassoc() is ever called, so fix that by calling the function _before_ the old data is overwritten. This is (one of) the issue(s) causing mac80211 to hold cfg80211's BSS structs forever, and them thus being returned in scan results after they're long gone. http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2015 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-06-15mac80211: disconnect when user changes channelJohannes Berg
If we do not disconnect when a channel switch is requested, we end up eventually detection beacon loss from the AP and then disconnecting, without ever really telling the AP, so we might just as well disconnect right away. Additionally, this fixes a problem with iwlwifi where the driver will clear some internal state on channel changes like this and then get confused when we actually go clear that state from mac80211. It may look like this patch drops the no-IBSS check, but that is already handled by cfg80211 in the wext handler it provides for IBSS (cfg80211_ibss_wext_siwfreq).

2009-06-15mac80211: Do not try to associate with an empty SSIDJouni Malinen
It looks like some programs (e.g., NM) are setting an empty SSID with SIOCSIWESSID in some cases. This seems to trigger mac80211 to try to associate with an invalid configuration (wildcard SSID) which will result in failing associations (or odd issues, potentially including kernel panic with some drivers) if the AP were to actually accept this anyway). Only start association process if the SSID is actually set. This speeds up connection with NM in number of cases and avoids sending out broken association request frames.

It is currently prevented with preempt_disable() on the update side, but it's not safe, except maybe classic RCU, plus it conflicts with memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL flag used from these functions.

2009-06-13netfilter: conntrack: optional reliable conntrack event deliveryPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch improves ctnetlink event reliability if one broadcast listener has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option. The logic is the following: if an event delivery fails, we keep the undelivered events in the missed event cache. Once the next packet arrives, we add the new events (if any) to the missed events in the cache and we try a new delivery, and so on. Thus, if ctnetlink fails to deliver an event, we try to deliver them once we see a new packet. Therefore, we may lose state transitions but the userspace process gets in sync at some point. At worst case, if no events were delivered to userspace, we make sure that destroy events are successfully delivered. Basically, if ctnetlink fails to deliver the destroy event, we remove the conntrack entry from the hashes and we insert them in the dying list, which contains inactive entries. Then, the conntrack timer is added with an extra grace timeout of random32() % 15 seconds to trigger the event again (this grace timeout is tunable via /proc). The use of a limited random timeout value allows distributing the "destroy" resends, thus, avoiding accumulating lots "destroy" events at the same time. Event delivery may re-order but we can identify them by means of the tuple plus the conntrack ID. The maximum number of conntrack entries (active or inactive) is still handled by nf_conntrack_max. Thus, we may start dropping packets at some point if we accumulate a lot of inactive conntrack entries that did not successfully report the destroy event to userspace. During my stress tests consisting of setting a very small buffer of 2048 bytes for conntrackd and the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag, and generating lots of very small connections, I noticed very few destroy entries on the fly waiting to be resend. A simple way to test this patch consist of creating a lot of entries, set a very small Netlink buffer in conntrackd (+ a patch which is not in the git tree to set the BROADCAST_ERROR flag) and invoke `conntrack -F'. For expectations, no changes are introduced in this patch. Currently, event delivery is only done for new expectations (no events from expectation expiration, removal and confirmation). In that case, they need a per-expectation event cache to implement the same idea that is exposed in this patch. This patch can be useful to provide reliable flow-accouting. We still have to add a new conntrack extension to store the creation and destroy time. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

This patch moves the helper destruction to a function that lives in nf_conntrack_helper.c. This new function is used in the patch to add ctnetlink reliable event delivery. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2009-06-13netfilter: conntrack: move event caching to conntrack extension infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso
This patch reworks the per-cpu event caching to use the conntrack extension infrastructure. The main drawback is that we consume more memory per conntrack if event delivery is enabled. This patch is required by the reliable event delivery that follows to this patch. BTW, this patch allows you to enable/disable event delivery via /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_events in runtime, although you can still disable event caching as compilation option.

2009-06-13netfilter: nf_conntrack: use mod_timer_pending() for conntrack refreshPatrick McHardy
Use mod_timer_pending() instead of atomic sequence of del_timer()/ add_timer(). mod_timer_pending() does not rearm an inactive timer, so we don't need the conntrack lock anymore to make sure we don't accidentally rearm a timer of a conntrack which is in the process of being destroyed. With this change, we don't need to take the global lock anymore at all, counter updates can be performed under the per-conntrack lock. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

This patch changes FDB entry check for ATM LANE bridge integration. There's no point in holding a FDB entry around SKB building. br_fdb_get()/br_fdb_put() pair are changed into single br_fdb_test_addr() hook that checks if the addr has FDB entry pointing to other port to the one the request arrived on.

2009-06-11[PATCH] net core: Some interface flags not returned by SIOCGIFFLAGSJohn Dykstra
Commit b00055aacdb172c05067612278ba27265fcd05ce " [NET] core: add RFC2863 operstate" defined new interface flag values. Its documentation specified that these flags could be accessed from user space via SIOCGIFFLAGS. However, this does not work because the new flags do not fit in that ioctl's argument width. Change the documentation to match the code's behavior. Also change the source to explicitly show the truncation. This _should_ have no effect on executable code, and did not with gcc 4.2.4 generating x86 code. A new ioctl could be defined to return all interface flags to user space. However, since this has been broken for three years with no one complaining, there doesn't seem much need. They are still accessible via netlink.
