* wext: let get_wireless_stats() sleepJohannes Berg2009-10-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A number of drivers (recently including cfg80211-based ones) assume that all wireless handlers, including statistics, can sleep and they often also implicitly assume that the rtnl is held around their invocation. This is almost always true now except when reading from sysfs: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:280 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 10450, name: head 2 locks held by head/10450: #0: (&buffer->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<c10ceb99>] sysfs_read_file+0x24/0xf4 #1: (dev_base_lock){++.?..}, at: [<c12844ee>] wireless_show+0x1a/0x4c Pid: 10450, comm: head Not tainted 2.6.32-rc3 #1 Call Trace: [<c102301c>] __might_sleep+0xf0/0xf7 [<c1324355>] mutex_lock_nested+0x1a/0x33 [<f8cea53b>] wdev_lock+0xd/0xf [cfg80211] [<f8cea58f>] cfg80211_wireless_stats+0x45/0x12d [cfg80211] [<c13118d6>] get_wireless_stats+0x16/0x1c [<c12844fe>] wireless_show+0x2a/0x4c Fix this by using the rtnl instead of dev_base_lock.

* pktgen: Fix multiqueue handlingEric Dumazet2009-10-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue. When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly. I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender. This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one. Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.

* pktgen: Fix delay handlingEric Dumazet2009-10-011-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | After last pktgen changes, delay handling is wrong. pktgen actually sends packets at full line speed. Fix is to update pkt_dev->next_tx even if spin() returns early, so that next spin() calls have a chance to see a positive delay.

* net: restore tx timestamping for accelerated vlansEric Dumazet2009-09-301-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 9b22ea560957de1484e6b3e8538f7eef202e3596 ( net: fix packet socket delivery in rx irq handler ) We lost rx timestamping of packets received on accelerated vlans. Effect is that tcpdump on real dev can show strange timings, since it gets rx timestamps too late (ie at skb dequeueing time, not at skb queueing time) 14:47:26.986871 IP 192.168.20.110 > 192.168.20.141: icmp 64: echo request seq 1 14:47:26.986786 IP 192.168.20.141 > 192.168.20.110: icmp 64: echo reply seq 1 14:47:27.986888 IP 192.168.20.110 > 192.168.20.141: icmp 64: echo request seq 2 14:47:27.986781 IP 192.168.20.141 > 192.168.20.110: icmp 64: echo reply seq 2 14:47:28.986896 IP 192.168.20.110 > 192.168.20.141: icmp 64: echo request seq 3 14:47:28.986780 IP 192.168.20.141 > 192.168.20.110: icmp 64: echo reply seq 3 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* wext: add back wireless/ dir in sysfs for cfg80211 interfacesJohannes Berg2009-09-281-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The move away from having drivers assign wireless handlers, in favour of making cfg80211 assign them, broke the sysfs registration (the wireless/ dir went missing) because the handlers are now assigned only after registration, which is too late. Fix this by special-casing cfg80211-based devices, all of which are required to have an ieee80211_ptr, in the sysfs code, and also using get_wireless_stats() to have the same values reported as in procfs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previous update did not resched in inner loop causing watchdogs. Rewrite inner loop to: * account for delays better with less clock calls * more accurate timing of delay: - only delay if packet was successfully sent - if delay is 100ns and it takes 10ns to build packet then account for that * use wait_event_interruptible_timeout rather than open coding it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

| * bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()Moni Shoua2009-09-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses. This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks: *. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat) and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. *. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing table, which might be unnecessary. The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

| * net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_apiPatrick McHardy2009-09-061-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from a few problems: - with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion. - all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a shared qdisc has been attached. - Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete. This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first (non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

Since the drop_monitor code relies on the last_rx field to detect drops on recevie in hardware, We need to find a more reliable way to rate limit our drop checks (so that we don't check for drops on every frame recevied, which would be inefficient.

It allows us to hook in and examine each sk_buff that the system receives on a per-socket bases, and can be use to compile a list of which skb's were received by which processes.

| * | | net: Avoid enqueuing skb for default qdiscsKrishna Kumar2009-08-061-13/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

(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>
