2012-02-13Bluetooth: Sort to-be-resolved devices by RSSI during discoveryJohan Hedberg
This patch makes sure that devices with stronger signal (RSSI closer to 0) are sorted first in the resolve list and will therefore get their names resolved first during device discovery. Since it's more likely that the device the user is trying to discover has a strong signal due to its proximity this ensures that the user gets the "device found" event for it more quickly.

2012-02-13Bluetooth: Correctly take hci_dev->dev refcountDavid Herrmann
The hci_dev->dev device structure has an internal refcount. This refcount is used to protect the whole hci_dev object. However, we currently do not use it. Therefore, if someone calls hci_free_dev() we currently immediately destroy the hci_dev object because we never took the device refcount. This even happens if the hci_dev->refcnt is not 0. In fact, the hci_dev->refcnt is totally useless in its current state. Therefore, we simply remove hci_dev->refcnt and instead use hci_dev->dev refcnt. This fixes all the symptoms and also correctly integrates the device structure into our bluetooth bus system.

2012-02-13Bluetooth: Remove HCI-owner fieldDavid Herrmann
After unregistering an hci_dev object a bluetooth driver does not have any callbacks in the hci_dev structure left over. Therefore, there is no need to keep a reference to the module. Previously, we needed this to protect the hci-destruct callback. However, this callback is no longer available so we do not need this owner field, anymore. Drivers now call hci_unregister_dev() and they are done with the object.

2012-02-13Bluetooth: Remove unused hci-destruct cbDavid Herrmann
The hci-destruct callback is not used by any driver so we can remove it. There is no reason to keep it alive, anymore. Drivers can free their internal data on driver-release and we do not need to provide a public destruct callback. Internally, we still use a destruct callback inside of hci_sysfs.c. This one is used to correctly free our hci_dev data structure if no more users have a reference to it.

2012-02-13Bluetooth: Make hci-destruct callback optionalDavid Herrmann
Several drivers already provide an empty callback so we can actually make this optional and then remove all those empty callbacks in the drivers. This callback isn't needed at all by most drivers as they can remove their allocated structures on device disconnect and not on hci destruction.

After moving L2CAP timers to workqueues l2cap_set_timer expects timeout value to be specified in jiffies but constants defined in miliseconds are used.

2012-02-13net: implement IP_RECVTOS for IP_PKTOPTIONSJiri Benc
Currently, it is not easily possible to get TOS/DSCP value of packets from an incoming TCP stream. The mechanism is there, IP_PKTOPTIONS getsockopt with IP_RECVTOS set, the same way as incoming TTL can be queried. This is not actually implemented for TOS, though. This patch adds this functionality, both for IPv4 (IP_PKTOPTIONS) and IPv6 (IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS). For IPv4, like in the IP_RECVTTL case, the value of the TOS field is stored from the other party's ACK. This is needed for proxies which require DSCP transparency.

2012-02-08ipv4: Implement IP_UNICAST_IF socket option.Erich E. Hoover
The IP_UNICAST_IF feature is needed by the Wine project. This patch implements the feature by setting the outgoing interface in a similar fashion to that of IP_MULTICAST_IF. A separate option is needed to handle this feature since the existing options do not provide all of the characteristics required by IP_UNICAST_IF, a summary is provided below. SO_BINDTODEVICE: * SO_BINDTODEVICE requires administrative privileges, IP_UNICAST_IF does not. From reading some old mailing list articles my understanding is that SO_BINDTODEVICE requires administrative privileges because it can override the administrator's routing settings. * The SO_BINDTODEVICE option restricts both outbound and inbound traffic, IP_UNICAST_IF only impacts outbound traffic. IP_PKTINFO: * Since IP_PKTINFO and IP_UNICAST_IF are independent options, implementing IP_UNICAST_IF with IP_PKTINFO will likely break some applications. * Implementing IP_UNICAST_IF on top of IP_PKTINFO significantly complicates the Wine codebase and reduces the socket performance (doing this requires a lot of extra communication between the "server" and "user" layers). bind(): * bind() does not work on broadcast packets, IP_UNICAST_IF is specifically intended to work with broadcast packets. * Like SO_BINDTODEVICE, bind() restricts both outbound and inbound traffic.

Currently, mac80211 goes to idle-off before starting a scan. However, some devices that implement hw scan might not need going idle-off in order to perform a hw scan, and thus saving some energy and simplifying their state machine.

2012-02-06cfg80211: stop tracking authenticated stateJohannes Berg
To track authenticated state seems to have been a design mistake in cfg80211. It is possible to have out of band authentication (FT), tracking multiple authentications caused more problems than it ever helped, and the implementation in mac80211 is too complex. Remove all this complexity, and let userspace do whatever it wants to, mac80211 can deal with that just fine. Association is still tracked of course, but authentication no longer is. Local auth state changes are thus no longer of value, so ignore them completely. This will also help implement SAE -- asking the driver to do an authentication is now almost equivalent to sending an authentication frame, with the exception of shared key authentication which is still handled completely.

2012-02-06mac80211: add sta_state callbackJohannes Berg
(based on Eliad's patch) Add a callback to notify the low-level driver whenever the state of a station changes. The driver is only notified when the station is actually in the mac80211 hash table, not for pre-insert state transitions. To allow the driver to replace sta_add/remove calls with this, call extra transitions with the NOTEXIST state. This callback can fail, so we need to be careful in handling it when a station is inserted, particularly in the IBSS case where we still keep the station entry around for mac80211 purposes.

2012-02-04ipv4: reset flowi parameters on route connectJulian Anastasov
Eric Dumazet found that commit 813b3b5db83 (ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is in output route lookups.) that comes in 3.0 added a regression. The problem appears to be that resulting flowi4_oif is used incorrectly as input parameter to some routing lookups. The result is that when connecting to local port without listener if the IP address that is used is not on a loopback interface we incorrectly assign RTN_UNICAST to the output route because no route is matched by oif=lo. The RST packet can not be sent immediately by tcp_v4_send_reset because it expects RTN_LOCAL. So, change ip_route_connect and ip_route_newports to update the flowi4 fields that are input parameters because we do not want unnecessary binding to oif. To make it clear what are the input parameters that can be modified during lookup and to show which fields of floiw4 are reused add a new function to update the flowi4 structure: flowi4_update_output. Thanks to Yurij M. Plotnikov for providing a bug report including a program to reproduce the problem.

2012-01-30net/tcp: Fix tcp memory limits initialization when !CONFIG_SYSCTLGlauber Costa
sysctl_tcp_mem() initialization was moved to sysctl_tcp_ipv4.c in commit 3dc43e3e4d0b52197d3205214fe8f162f9e0c334, since it became a per-ns value. That code, however, will never run when CONFIG_SYSCTL is disabled, leading to bogus values on those fields - causing hung TCP sockets. This patch fixes it by keeping an initialization code in tcp_init(). It will be overwritten by the first net namespace init if CONFIG_SYSCTL is compiled in, and do the right thing if it is compiled out. It is also named properly as tcp_init_mem(), to properly signal its non-sysctl side effect on TCP limits.
