2010-11-21netns: let net_generic take pointer-to-const argsJan Engelhardt
This commit is same in nature as v2.6.37-rc1-755-g3654654; the network namespace itself is not modified when calling net_generic, so the parameter can be const. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-11-18nl80211/mac80211: Report signal averageBruno Randolf
Extend nl80211 to report an exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) of the signal value. Since the signal value usually fluctuates between different packets, an average can be more useful than the value of the last packet. This uses the recently added generic EWMA library function.

2010-11-17rtnetlink: Link address family APIThomas Graf
Each net_device contains address family specific data such as per device settings and statistics. We already expose this data via procfs/sysfs and partially netlink. The netlink method requires the requester to send one RTM_GETLINK request for each address family it wishes to receive data of and then merge this data itself. This patch implements a new API which combines all address family specific link data in a new netlink attribute IFLA_AF_SPEC. IFLA_AF_SPEC contains a sequence of nested attributes, one for each address family which in turn defines the structure of its own attribute. Example: [IFLA_AF_SPEC] = { [AF_INET] = { [IFLA_INET_CONF] = ..., }, [AF_INET6] = { [IFLA_INET6_FLAGS] = ..., [IFLA_INET6_CONF] = ..., } } The API also allows for address families to implement a function which parses the IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute sent by userspace to implement address family specific link options.

2010-11-16mac80211: Add function to get probe request template for current APJuuso Oikarinen
Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss, for example.) For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also the supported rate IE's. This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.

2010-11-16mac80211: Add antenna configurationBruno Randolf
Allow antenna configuration by calling driver's function for it.

2010-11-16cfg80211: Add nl80211 antenna configurationBruno Randolf
Allow setting of TX and RX antennas configuration via nl80211. The antenna configuration is defined as a bitmap of allowed antennas to use. This API can be used to mask out antennas which are not attached or should not be used for other reasons like regulatory concerns or special setups. Separate bitmaps are used for RX and TX to allow configuring different antennas for receiving and transmitting. Each bitmap is 32 bit long, each bit representing one antenna, starting with antenna 1 at the first bit. If an antenna bit is set, this means the driver is allowed to use this antenna for RX or TX respectively; if the bit is not set the hardware is not allowed to use this antenna. Using bitmaps has the benefit of allowing for a flexible configuration interface which can support many different configurations and which can be used for 802.11n as well as non-802.11n devices. Instead of relying on some hardware specific assumptions, drivers can use this information to know which antennas are actually attached to the system and derive their capabilities based on that. 802.11n devices should enable or disable chains, based on which antennas are present (If all antennas belonging to a particular chain are disabled, the entire chain should be disabled). HT capabilities (like STBC, TX Beamforming, Antenna selection) should be calculated based on the available chains after applying the antenna masks. Should a 802.11n device have diversity antennas attached to one of their chains, diversity can be enabled or disabled based on the antenna information. Non-802.11n drivers can use the antenna masks to select RX and TX antennas and to enable or disable antenna diversity. While covering chainmasks for 802.11n and the standard "legacy" modes "fixed antenna 1", "fixed antenna 2" and "diversity" this API also allows more rare, but useful configurations as follows: 1) Send on antenna 1, receive on antenna 2 (or vice versa). This can be used to have a low gain antenna for TX in order to keep within the regulatory constraints and a high gain antenna for RX in order to receive weaker signals ("speak softly, but listen harder"). This can be useful for building long-shot outdoor links. Another usage of this setup is having a low-noise pre-amplifier on antenna 1 and a power amplifier on the other antenna. This way transmit noise is mostly kept out of the low noise receive channel. (This would be bitmaps: tx 1 rx 2). 2) Another similar setup is: Use RX diversity on both antennas, but always send on antenna 1. Again that would allow us to benefit from a higher gain RX antenna, while staying within the legal limits. (This would be: tx 0 rx 3). 3) And finally there can be special experimental setups in research and development even with pre 802.11n hardware where more than 2 antennas are available. It's good to keep the API simple, yet flexible. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> -- v7: Made bitmasks 32 bit wide and rebased to latest wireless-testing. Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-11-16net: reorder struct sock fieldsEric Dumazet
Right now, fields in struct sock are not optimally ordered, because each path (RX softirq, TX completion, RX user, TX user) has to touch fields that are contained in many different cache lines. The really critical thing is to shrink number of cache lines that are used at RX softirq time : CPU handling softirqs for a device can receive many frames per second for many sockets. If load is too big, we can drop frames at NIC level. RPS or multiqueue cards can help, but better reduce latency if possible. This patch starts with UDP protocol, then additional patches will try to reduce latencies of other ones as well. At RX softirq time, fields of interest for UDP protocol are : (not counting ones in inet struct for the lookup) Read/Written: sk_refcnt (atomic increment/decrement) sk_rmem_alloc & sk_backlog.len (to check if there is room in queues) sk_receive_queue sk_backlog (if socket locked by user program) sk_rxhash sk_forward_alloc sk_drops Read only: sk_rcvbuf (sk_rcvqueues_full()) sk_filter sk_wq sk_policy[0] sk_flags Additional notes : - sk_backlog has one hole on 64bit arches. We can fill it to save 8 bytes. - sk_backlog is used only if RX sofirq handler finds the socket while locked by user. - sk_rxhash is written only once per flow. - sk_drops is written only if queues are full Final layout : [1] One section grouping all read/write fields, but placing rxhash and sk_backlog at the end of this section. [2] One section grouping all read fields in RX handler (sk_filter, sk_rcv_buf, sk_wq) [3] Section used by other paths I'll post a patch on its own to put sk_refcnt at the end of struct sock_common so that it shares same cache line than section [1] New offsets on 64bit arch : sizeof(struct sock)=0x268 offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) =0x10 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) =0x48 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0x68 offsetof(struct sock, sk_backlog)=0x80 offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc)=0x80 offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x98 offsetof(struct sock, sk_rxhash)=0x9c offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf)=0xa4 offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0xa0 offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter)=0xa8 offsetof(struct sock, sk_wq)=0xb0 offsetof(struct sock, sk_policy)=0xd0 offsetof(struct sock, sk_flags) =0xe0 Instead of : sizeof(struct sock)=0x270 offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) =0x10 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) =0x50 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0xc0 offsetof(struct sock, sk_backlog)=0x70 offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc)=0xac offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x10c offsetof(struct sock, sk_rxhash)=0x128 offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf)=0x4c offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0x16c offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter)=0x198 offsetof(struct sock, sk_wq)=0x88 offsetof(struct sock, sk_policy)=0x98 offsetof(struct sock, sk_flags) =0x130 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-10-28fib: Fix fib zone and its hash leak on namespace stopPavel Emelyanov
When we stop a namespace we flush the table and free one, but the added fn_zone-s (and their hashes if grown) are leaked. Need to free. Tries releases all its stuff in the flushing code. Shame on us - this bug exists since the very first make-fib-per-net patches in 2.6.27 :( Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-10-289p: Add datasync to client side TFSYNC/RFSYNC for dotlVenkateswararao Jujjuri (JV)
SYNOPSIS size[4] Tfsync tag[2] fid[4] datasync[4] size[4] Rfsync tag[2] DESCRIPTION The Tfsync transaction transfers ("flushes") all modified in-core data of file identified by fid to the disk device (or other permanent storage device) where that file resides. If datasync flag is specified data will be fleshed but does not flush modified metadata unless that metadata is needed in order to allow a subsequent data retrieval to be correctly handled.
