2015-05-20mac80211: add missing drv_priv description for TXQ structJohannes Berg

2015-05-19tcp: add rfc3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallbackDaniel Borkmann
This work as a follow-up of commit f7b3bec6f516 ("net: allow setting ecn via routing table") and adds RFC3168 section 6.1.1.1. fallback for outgoing ECN connections. In other words, this work adds a retry with a non-ECN setup SYN packet, as suggested from the RFC on the first timeout: [...] A host that receives no reply to an ECN-setup SYN within the normal SYN retransmission timeout interval MAY resend the SYN and any subsequent SYN retransmissions with CWR and ECE cleared. [...] Schematic client-side view when assuming the server is in tcp_ecn=2 mode, that is, Linux default since 2009 via commit 255cac91c3c9 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN"): 1) Normal ECN-capable path: SYN ECE CWR -----> <----- SYN ACK ECE ACK -----> 2) Path with broken middlebox, when client has fallback: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN -----> <----- SYN ACK ACK -----> In case we would not have the fallback implemented, the middlebox drop point would basically end up as: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) In any case, it's rather a smaller percentage of sites where there would occur such additional setup latency: it was found in end of 2014 that ~56% of IPv4 and 65% of IPv6 servers of Alexa 1 million list would negotiate ECN (aka tcp_ecn=2 default), 0.42% of these webservers will fail to connect when trying to negotiate with ECN (tcp_ecn=1) due to timeouts, which the fallback would mitigate with a slight latency trade-off. Recent related paper on this topic: Brian Trammell, Mirja Kühlewind, Damiano Boppart, Iain Learmonth, Gorry Fairhurst, and Richard Scheffenegger: "Enabling Internet-Wide Deployment of Explicit Congestion Notification." Proc. PAM 2015, New York. http://ecn.ethz.ch/ecn-pam15.pdf Thus, when net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=1 is being set, the patch will perform RFC3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallback on timeout. For users explicitly not wanting this which can be in DC use case, we add a net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback knob that allows for disabling the fallback. tp->ecn_flags are not being cleared in tcp_ecn_clear_syn() on output, but rather we let tcp_ecn_rcv_synack() take that over on input path in case a SYN ACK ECE was delayed. Thus a spurious SYN retransmission will not prevent ECN being negotiated eventually in that case.

2015-05-19cfg802154: introduce wpan phy flagsAlexander Aring
This patch introduce a flag property for the wpan phy structure. The current flag settings in ieee802154_hw are accessable in mac802154 layer only which is okay for flags which indicates MAC handling which are done by phy. For real PHY layer settings like cca mode, transmit power, cca energy detection level. The difference between these flags are that the MAC handling flags are only handled in mac802154/HardMac layer e.g. on an interface up. The phy settings are direct netlink calls from nl802154 into the driver layer and the nl802154 need to have a chance to check if the driver supports this handling before sending to the next layer. We also check now on PHY flags while dumping and setting pib attributes. In comparing with MIB attributes the 802.15.4 gives us an default value which we assume when a transceiver implement less functionality. In case of MIB settings the nl802154 layer doesn't need to check on the ieee802154_hw flags then.

If a transceiver can support 802.15.4 default values only, then the values should be overwirtten by values the transceiver supports.

2015-05-19bridge_netfilter: No ICMP packet on IPv4 fragmentation errorAndy Zhou
When bridge netfilter re-fragments an IP packet for output, all packets that can not be re-fragmented to their original input size should be silently discarded. However, current bridge netfilter output path generates an ICMP packet with 'size exceeded MTU' message for such packets, this is a bug. This patch refactors the ip_fragment() API to allow two separate use cases. The bridge netfilter user case will not send ICMP, the routing output will, as before.

2015-05-14tcp: syncookies: extend validity rangeEric Dumazet
Now we allow storing more request socks per listener, we might hit syncookie mode less often and hit following bug in our stack : When we send a burst of syncookies, then exit this mode, tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() can return false if the ACK packets coming from clients are coming three seconds after the end of syncookie episode. This is a way too strong requirement and conflicts with rest of syncookie code which allows ACK to be aged up to 2 minutes. Perfectly valid ACK packets are dropped just because clients might be in a crowded wifi environment or on another planet. So let's fix this, and also change tcp_synq_overflow() to not dirty a cache line for every syncookie we send, as we are under attack.

2015-05-12switchdev: introduce get/set attrs opsScott Feldman
Add two new swdev ops for get/set switch port attributes. Most swdev interactions on a port are gets or sets on port attributes, so rather than adding ops for each attribute, let's define clean get/set ops for all attributes, and then we can have clear, consistent rules on how attributes propagate on stacked devs. Add the basic algorithms for get/set attr ops. Use the same recusive algo to walk lower devs we've used for STP updates, for example. For get, compare attr value for each lower dev and only return success if attr values match across all lower devs. For sets, set the same attr value for all lower devs. We'll use a two-phase prepare-commit transaction model for sets. In the first phase, the driver(s) are asked if attr set is OK. If all OK, the commit attr set in second phase. A driver would NACK the prepare phase if it can't set the attr due to lack of resources or support, within it's control. RTNL lock must be held across both phases because we'll recurse all lower devs first in prepare phase, and then recurse all lower devs again in commit phase. If any lower dev fails the prepare phase, we need to abort the transaction for all lower devs. If lower dev recusion isn't desired, allow a flag SWITCHDEV_F_NO_RECURSE to indicate get/set only work on port (lowest) device.
