2012-11-14bridge: bridge port parameters over netlinkstephen hemminger
Expose bridge port parameter over netlink. By switching to a nested message, this can be used for other bridge parameters. This changes IFLA_PROTINFO attribute from one byte to a full nested set of attributes. This is safe for application interface because the old message used IFLA_PROTINFO and new one uses IFLA_PROTINFO | NLA_F_NESTED. The code adapts to old format requests, and therefore stays compatible with user mode RSTP daemon. Since the type field for nested and unnested attributes are different, and the old code in libnetlink doesn't do the mask, it is also safe to use with old versions of bridge monitor command. Note: although mode is only a boolean, treating it as a full byte since in the future someone will probably want to add more values (like macvlan has).

2012-11-07pkt_sched: enable QFQ to support TSO/GSOPaolo Valente
If the max packet size for some class (configured through tc) is violated by the actual size of the packets of that class, then QFQ would not schedule classes correctly, and the data structures implementing the bucket lists may get corrupted. This problem occurs with TSO/GSO even if the max packet size is set to the MTU, and is, e.g., the cause of the failure reported in [1]. Two patches have been proposed to solve this problem in [2], one of them is a preliminary version of this patch. This patch addresses the above issues by: 1) setting QFQ parameters to proper values for supporting TSO/GSO (in particular, setting the maximum possible packet size to 64KB), 2) automatically increasing the max packet size for a class, lmax, when a packet with a larger size than the current value of lmax arrives. The drawback of the first point is that the maximum weight for a class is now limited to 4096, which is equal to 1/16 of the maximum weight sum. Finally, this patch also forcibly caps the timestamps of a class if they are too high to be stored in the bucket list. This capping, taken from QFQ+ [3], handles the unfrequent case described in the comment to the function slot_insert.

2012-11-07batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messagesAntonio Quartulli
In case of an ARP message going in or out the soft_iface, it is intercepted and a special action is performed. In particular the DHT helper functions previously implemented are used to store all the ARP entries belonging to the network in order to provide a fast and unicast lookup instead of the classic broadcast flooding mechanism. Each node stores the entries it is responsible for (following the DHT rules) in its soft_iface ARP table. This makes it possible to reuse the kernel data structures and functions for ARP management.

2012-11-03htb: improved accuracy at high ratesVimalkumar
Current HTB (and TBF) uses rate table computed by the "tc" userspace program, which has the following issue: The rate table has 256 entries to map packet lengths to token (time units). With TSO sized packets, the 256 entry granularity leads to loss/gain of rate, making the token bucket inaccurate. Thus, instead of relying on rate table, this patch explicitly computes the time and accounts for packet transmission times with nanosecond granularity. This greatly improves accuracy of HTB with a wide range of packet sizes. Example: tc qdisc add dev $dev root handle 1: \ htb default 1 tc class add dev $dev classid 1:1 parent 1: \ rate 5Gbit mtu 64k Here is an example of inaccuracy: $ iperf -c host -t 10 -i 1 With old htb: eth4: 34.76 Mb/s In 5827.98 Mb/s Out - 65836.0 p/s In 481273.0 p/s Out [SUM] 9.0-10.0 sec 669 MBytes 5.61 Gbits/sec [SUM] 0.0-10.0 sec 6.50 GBytes 5.58 Gbits/sec With new htb: eth4: 28.36 Mb/s In 5208.06 Mb/s Out - 53704.0 p/s In 430076.0 p/s Out [SUM] 9.0-10.0 sec 594 MBytes 4.98 Gbits/sec [SUM] 0.0-10.0 sec 5.80 GBytes 4.98 Gbits/sec The bits per second on the wire is still 5200Mb/s with new HTB because qdisc accounts for packet length using skb->len, which is smaller than total bytes on the wire if GSO is used. But that is for another patch regardless of how time is accounted. Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for review and feedback. Signed-off-by: Vimalkumar <j.vimal@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-11-03tcp: better retrans tracking for defer-acceptEric Dumazet
For passive TCP connections using TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT facility, we incorrectly increment req->retrans each time timeout triggers while no SYNACK is sent. SYNACK are not sent for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT that were established (for which we received the ACK from client). Only the last SYNACK is sent so that we can receive again an ACK from client, to move the req into accept queue. We plan to change this later to avoid the useless retransmit (and potential problem as this SYNACK could be lost) TCP_INFO later gives wrong information to user, claiming imaginary retransmits. Decouple req->retrans field into two independent fields : num_retrans : number of retransmit num_timeout : number of timeouts num_timeout is the counter that is incremented at each timeout, regardless of actual SYNACK being sent or not, and used to compute the exponential timeout. Introduce inet_rtx_syn_ack() helper to increment num_retrans only if ->rtx_syn_ack() succeeded. Use inet_rtx_syn_ack() from tcp_check_req() to increment num_retrans when we re-send a SYNACK in answer to a (retransmitted) SYN. Prior to this patch, we were not counting these retransmits. Change tcp_v[46]_rtx_synack() to increment TCP_MIB_RETRANSSEGS only if a synack packet was successfully queued.

2012-11-02tcp-repair: Handle zero-length data put in rcv queuePavel Emelyanov
When sending data into a tcp socket in repair state we should check for the amount of data being 0 explicitly. Otherwise we'll have an skb with seq == end_seq in rcv queue, but tcp doesn't expect this to happen (in particular a warn_on in tcp_recvmsg shoots).

2012-11-02l2tp: fix oops in l2tp_eth_create() error pathTom Parkin
When creating an L2TPv3 Ethernet session, if register_netdev() should fail for any reason (for example, automatic naming for "l2tpeth%d" interfaces hits the 32k-interface limit), the netdev is freed in the error path. However, the l2tp_eth_sess structure's dev pointer is left uncleared, and this results in l2tp_eth_delete() then attempting to unregister the same netdev later in the session teardown. This results in an oops. To avoid this, clear the session dev pointer in the error path. Signed-off-by: Tom Parkin <tparkin@katalix.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-11-02net: Fix continued iteration in rtnl_bridge_getlink()Ben Hutchings
Commit e5a55a898720096f43bc24938f8875c0a1b34cd7 ('net: create generic bridge ops') broke the handling of a non-zero starting index in rtnl_bridge_getlink() (based on the old br_dump_ifinfo()). When the starting index is non-zero, we need to increment the current index for each entry that we are skipping. Also, we need to check the index before both cases, since we may previously have stopped iteration between getting information about a device from its master and from itself.

fib6_add_rt2node() will reject the nexthop if this flag is set, so we perform the check only for the first nexthop. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-11-02eth: Rename and properly align br_reserved_address arrayBen Hutchings
Since this array is no longer part of the bridge driver, it should have an 'eth' prefix not 'br'. We also assume that either it's 16-bit-aligned or the architecture has efficient unaligned access. Ensure the first of these is true by explicitly aligning it. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
