a58ce43f2f mac80211: avoid spurious deauth frames/messages
With WEXT, it happens frequently that the SME
requests an authentication but then deauthenticates
right away because some new parameters came along.
Every time this happens we print a deauth message
and send a deauth frame, but both of that is rather
confusing. Avoid it by aborting the authentication
process silently, and telling cfg80211 about that.

The patch looks larger than it really is:
__cfg80211_auth_remove() is split out from
cfg80211_send_auth_timeout(), there's no new code
except __cfg80211_auth_canceled() (a one-liner) and
the mac80211 bits (7 new lines of code).

7351c6bd48 mac80211: request TX status where needed
Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to
request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only
the injected frames need TX status (the latter for
hostapd) so move setting this flag.

The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but
they don't require it.

Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and
seems to require it being set for all frames, but
that can be fixed in rt2x00.

This doesn't really change anything for any drivers
but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may
opt to not report TX status for frames that don't
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set.

ad4bb6f888 cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfaces
A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
(in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
help here. The wireless address format used for these
links has only space for three addresses, the
 * transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
 * receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
   the case of managed mode
 * the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
   network segment

In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.

To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
wireless interface to a bridge.

Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

9bc383de37 cfg80211: introduce capability for 4addr mode
It's very likely that not many devices will support
four-address mode in station or AP mode so introduce
capability bits for both modes, set them in mac80211
and check them when userspace tries to use the mode.
Also, keep track of 4addr in cfg80211 (wireless_dev)
and not in mac80211 any more. mac80211 can also be
improved for the VLAN case by not looking at the
4addr flag but maintaining the station pointer for
it correctly. However, keep track of use_4addr for
station mode in mac80211 to avoid all the derefs.

ceb99fe071 mac80211: fix resume
When mac80211 resumes, it currently first sets suspended
to false so the driver can start doing things and we can
receive frames.

However, if we actually receive frames then it can end
up starting some work which adds timers and then later
runs into a BUG_ON in the timer code because it tries
add_timer() on a pending timer.

Fix this by keeping track of the resuming process by
introducing a new variable 'resuming' which gets set to
true early on instead of setting 'suspended' to false,
and allow queueing work but not receiving frames while
resuming.

24b6b15f7d cfg80211: Allow reassociation in associated state
cfg80211 rejects all association requests when in associated state. This
prevents clean roaming within an ESS since one would first need to
disassociate before being able to request reassociation.

Accept the reassociation request and let the old association to be
dropped when the new one is completed. This fixes nl80211-based
roaming with the current snapshot version of wpa_supplicant (that has
code for requesting reassociation explicitly withthe previous BSSID
attribute).

af65cd96dd mac80211: make software rate control optional
Some devices implement the entire rate control in
firmware in some way, like wl1271 or like iwlwifi
which does some things in software but not a lot.
Therefore generic software rate control is rather
useless for them and just adds avoidable overhead

they do not need rate control, but they need to
fulfil a number of conditions that we encode in

instance in tkip.c, which will be shared if it

3e5b1101f5 mac80211: reduce the amount of unnecessary traffic on cooked monitor interfaces
In order to handle association and authentication in AP mode,
hostapd needs access to the tx status info of its own frames
through a cooked monitor interface. Without this patch the
cooked monitor interfaces also passed on tx status information
for packets from other virtual interfaces. This creates a
significant performance issue on embedded system. Hostapd
tries to work around this by installing a Linux Socket Filter
that only captures the frames it's interested in, however
data duplication and socket filter matching still uses up
enough CPU cycles to be very noticeable on small systems.
This patch ensures that tx status information of non-injected
frames does not make it to cooked monitor interfaces.

left a problem in there, even if the timer was
never started it could be deleted and then added.

Linus pointed out that del_timer_sync() isn't
actually needed if we make the timer able to
deal with no longer being needed when it gets
queued _while_ we're in the locked section that
also deletes it. For that the timer function only
needs to check the HT_ADDBA_RECEIVED_MSK bit as
well as the HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK bit, only if
the former is clear should it do anything.

Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ?

In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously.

[PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle

time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105

real	0m0.266s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.001s

real	0m0.770s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s

real	0m1.022s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s

One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the
holding of device done by following chain :

vlan_dev_stop() ->
	netif_carrier_off(dev) ->
		linkwatch_fire_event(dev) ->
			dev_hold() ...

And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later...

A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method
to unlink the device from the list of watched devices.

dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory),
to be able to unlink device in O(1).

After patch :
time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105

real    0m0.024s
user    0m0.000s

9793241fe9 vlan: Precise RX stats accounting
With multi queue devices, its possible that several cpus call
vlan RX routines simultaneously for the same vlan device.

We update RX stats counter without any locking, so we can
get slightly wrong counters.

One possible fix is to use percpu counters, to get precise
accounting and also get guarantee of no cache line ping pongs
between cpus.

Note: this adds 16 bytes (32 bytes on 64bit arches) of percpu
data per vlan device.

69c0cab120 gro: Fix illegal merging of trailer trash
When we've merged skb's with page frags, and subsequently receive
a trailer skb (< MSS) that is not completely non-linear (this can
occur on Intel NICs if the packet size falls below the threshold),
GRO ends up producing an illegal GSO skb with a frag_list.

This is harmless unless the skb is then forwarded through an
interface that requires software GSO, whereupon the GSO code
will BUG.

This patch detects this case in GRO and avoids merging the
trailer skb.

9a1654ba0b net: Optimize hard_start_xmit() return checking
Recent changes in the TX error propagation require additional checking
and masking of values returned from hard_start_xmit(), mainly to
separate cases where skb was consumed. This aim can be simplified by
changing the order of NETDEV_TX and NET_XMIT codes, because the latter
are treated similarly to negative (ERRNO) values.

After this change much simpler dev_xmit_complete() is also used in
sch_direct_xmit(), so it is moved to netdevice.h.

Additionally NET_RX definitions in netdevice.h are moved up from
between TX codes to avoid confusion while reading the TX comment.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg02473.html

This also causes bug when initiating SSP connection from

The reason is because bluetoothd does not store link keys
since HCIGETAUTHINFO returns 0. Setting default to general

While investigating for network latencies, I found inet_getid() was a
contention point for some workloads, as inet_peer_idlock is shared
by all inet_getid() users regardless of peers.

One way to fix this is to make ip_id_count an atomic_t instead
of __u16, and use atomic_add_return().

In order to keep sizeof(struct inet_peer) = 64 on 64bit arches
tcp_ts_stamp is also converted to __u32 instead of "unsigned long".

Indeed. But we dump at most one skb (<= 8192 bytes ?), so rcu_read_lock
holding time is small, unless we meet many netdevices without
addresses. I wonder if its really common...

Recent commit 8da645e101
	sctp: Get rid of an extra routing lookup when adding a transport
introduced a regression in the connection setup.  The behavior was

different between IPv4 and IPv6.  IPv4 case ended up working because the
route lookup routing returned a NULL route, which triggered another
route lookup later in the output patch that succeeded.  In the IPv6 case,
a valid route was returned for first call, but we could not find a valid
source address at the time since the source addresses were not set on the
association yet.  Thus resulted in a hung connection.

The solution is to set the source addresses on the association prior to
adding peers.

61fa713c75 cfg80211: return channel noise via survey API
This patch implements the NL80211_CMD_GET_SURVEY command and an get_survey()
ops that a driver can implement. The goal of this command is to allow a
drivers to report channel survey data (e.g. channel noise, channel
occupation).

For now, only the mechanism to report back channel noise has been
implemented.

In future, there will either be a survey-trigger command --- or the existing
scan-trigger command will be enhanced. This will allow user-space to
request survey for arbitrary channels.

Note: any driver that cannot report channel noise should not report
any value at all, e.g. made-up -92 dBm.

cbbef5e183 vlan/macvlan: propagate transmission state to upper layers
Both vlan and macvlan devices usually don't use a qdisc and immediately
queue packets to the underlying device. Propagate transmission state of
the underlying device to the upper layers so they can react on congestion
and/or inform the sending process.

572a9d7b6f net: allow to propagate errors through ->ndo_hard_start_xmit()
Currently the ->ndo_hard_start_xmit() callbacks are only permitted to return
one of the NETDEV_TX codes. This prevents any kind of error propagation for
virtual devices, like queue congestion of the underlying device in case of
layered devices, or unreachability in case of tunnels.

This patches changes the NET_XMIT codes to avoid clashes with the NETDEV_TX
codes and changes the two callers of dev_hard_start_xmit() to expect either
errno codes, NET_XMIT codes or NETDEV_TX codes as return value.

In case of qdisc_restart(), all non NETDEV_TX codes are mapped to NETDEV_TX_OK
since no error propagation is possible when using qdiscs. In case of
dev_queue_xmit(), the error is propagated upwards.

d792c1006f tcp: provide more information on the tcp receive_queue bugs
The addition of rcv_nxt allows to discern whether the skb
was out of place or tp->copied. Also catch fancy combination
of flags if necessary (sadly we might miss the actual causer
flags as it might have already returned).

Btw, we perhaps would want to forward copied_seq in
somewhere or otherwise we might have some nice loop with
WARN stuff within but where to do that safely I don't
know at this stage until more is known (but it is not
made significantly worse by this patch).

805003a41c net/atm: move all compat_ioctl handling to atm/ioctl.c
We have two implementations of the compat_ioctl handling for ATM, the
one that we have had for ages in fs/compat_ioctl.c and the one added to
net/atm/ioctl.c by David Woodhouse. Unfortunately, both versions are
incomplete, and in practice we use a very confusing combination of the
two.

For ioctl numbers that have the same identifier on 32 and 64 bit systems,
we go directly through the compat_ioctl socket operation, for those that

differ, we do a conversion in fs/compat_ioctl.c.

This patch moves both variants into the vcc_compat_ioctl() function,
while preserving the current behaviour. It also kills off the COMPATIBLE_IOCTL
definitions that we never use here.
Doing it this way is clearly not a good solution, but I hope it is a
step into the right direction, so that someone is able to clean up this
mess for real.

a2116ed223 net/compat: fix dev_ifsioc emulation corner cases
Handling for SIOCSHWTSTAMP is broken on architectures
with a split user/kernel address space like s390,
because it passes a real user pointer while using
set_fs(KERNEL_DS).
A similar problem might arise the next time somebody
adds code to dev_ifsioc.

Split up dev_ifsioc into three separate functions for
SIOCSHWTSTAMP, SIOC*IFMAP and all other numbers so
we can get rid of set_fs in all potentially affected
cases.
