| * | | | mac80211: split up and insert custom IEs correctlyJohannes Berg2009-12-283-27/+154
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we insert all user-specified IEs before the HT IE for association, and after the HT IE for probe requests. For association, that's correct only if the user-specified IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN), after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs). For probes, split the IEs in different places to be correct according to the spec. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Additionally, put the HT IE before the vendor-specific WMM IE. This still leaves things not quite ordered correctly, due to user-specified IEs, add a note about that for now.

| * | | | mac80211: generalise work handlingJohannes Berg2009-12-289-835/+1112

For other purposes, a generic work handling (potentially on another channel) will be useful. To achieve that, this patch moves much of the MLME work handling out of mlme into a new work API. The API can currently handle probing a specific AP, authentication and association. The MLME previously handled probe/authentication as one step and will continue to do so, but they are separate in the new work handling. Work items are RCU-managed to be able to check for existence of an item for a specific frame in the RX path, but they can be re-used which the MLME right now will do for its combined probe/auth step.

Also since the previous patch made sure a new work item is used for association, we can make the different data a union.

| * | | | mac80211: let cfg80211 manage auth stateJohannes Berg2009-12-282-103/+73

That can lead to confusing behaviour like rejecting scans while authenticated to any AP (but not yet associated.) It also means that it needs to keep track of the work struct while associated for when it gets disassociated (or disassociates.) Change this to free the work struct after the authentication completed successfully and allocate a new one for associating, thereby letting cfg80211 manage the auth state. Another change necessary for this is to tell cfg80211 about all unicast deauth frames sent to mac80211 since now it can no longer check the auth state, but that check was racy anyway.

Replacing the list with a a local address based hash significantly improves the bind and listener lookup operations as well as the datagram delivery. Connected sockets delivery is also improved, but this patch does not address the case where we have lots of sockets with the same local address connected to different remote addresses.

In this case there is no need to restart the lookup, since sockets are inserted at the start of the list and the worst that will happen is that we will iterate throught some of the list elements more then once. Note that the /proc and multicast delivery was not yet converted to RCU, it still uses spinlocks for protection. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In doing so, this also reduces the number of pointer dereferences in many places, because of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming sdata->vif.addr.

This restriction should be lifted so that in the future we can, for instance, support bluetooth 3 with an access point that mac80211 is already associated to. We can do that by requiring all sta_info_get users to provide the virtual interface and making the RX code aware that an address may match more than one station struct. Thanks to the previous patches this one isn't all that large and except for the RX and TX status paths changes has low complexity.

However, nl80211 was converting MCS rates into a reasonable bitrate number. This patch moves the nl80211 code to cfg80211 where it is now shared between both the nl80211 interface and the wireless extensions interface. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* | | | | net: Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive windowlaurent chavey2009-12-233-6/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window size advertised by passive and active TCP connections. The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial receive window to the one prescribed by slow start. For short lived TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results in increased latency to complete the transaction. Support for setting initial congestion window is already supported using rtnetlink init_cwnd, but the feature is useless without the ability to set a larger TCP initial receive window. The rtnetlink init_rcvwnd allows increasing the TCP initial receive window, allowing TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window than the ones bounded by slow start.

The only other modification is to change: } else if (i == MAX_SKB_FRAGS || (!i && !(sk->sk_route_caps & NETIF_F_SG))) { to: } else if (i == MAX_SKB_FRAGS || !sg) { The reason why this change is correct: this code (other than the MAX_SKB_FRAGS case) executes only due to the else part of: "if (skb_tailroom(skb) > 0) {" - i.e. there was no space in the skb to put the data inline. Hence SG is false is a sufficient condition, and there is no way a fragment can be added to the skb.

If, as is usually the case, the AP uses WMM parameter set sequence number zero, we'd never update it until the AP changes the sequence number. Add the missing initialisation back to get the WMM settings from the AP applied locally.

Instead of overwriting the SM PS settings with the local bits, we need to keep the remote bits. The bug was part of the original HT code from over two years ago, but unfortunately nobody noticed that it makes no sense -- we shouldn't be overwriting the peer's setting with our own but rather keep it intact when masking the peer capabilities with our own. While fixing that, I noticed that the masking of capabilities is completely useless for most of the bits, so also fix those other bits. Finally, I also noticed that PSMP_SUPPORT no longer exists in the final 802.11n version, so also remove that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
