While testing L2TP functionality, I came across a bug in getsockname(). The IP address returned within the pppol2tp_addr's addr memember was not being set to the IP address in use. This bug is caused by using inet_sk() on the wrong socket (the L2TP socket rather than the underlying UDP socket), and was likely introduced during the addition of L2TPv3 support.

2012-03-20Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar: - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.) This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from regular, function histogram centric profiles. The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result looks like this in perf report: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system calls, traps, interrupts, etc. This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI support in perf report. - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies. It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other improvements. - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs: perf top -p 21483,21485 perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd perf record -p 21483,21485 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc. - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h generic facility: struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE; ... if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as little impact to the likely code path as possible. the static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching. This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key usage and fast/slow cost patterns. - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support. - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows better, etc. - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes', and a corner case bugfix. - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk). - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side. - 'perf bench' improvements - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as there were also lots of other improvements * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (120 commits) perf report: Fix annotate double quit issue in branch view mode perf report: Remove duplicate annotate choice in branch view mode perf/x86: Prettify pmu config literals perf report: Enable TUI in branch view mode perf report: Auto-detect branch stack sampling mode perf record: Add HEADER_BRANCH_STACK tag perf record: Provide default branch stack sampling mode option perf tools: Make perf able to read files from older ABIs perf tools: Fix ABI compatibility bug in print_event_desc() perf tools: Enable reading of perf.data files from different ABI rev perf: Add ABI reference sizes perf report: Add support for taken branch sampling perf record: Add support for sampling taken branch perf tools: Add code to support PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK x86/kprobes: Split out optprobe related code to kprobes-opt.c x86/kprobes: Fix a bug which can modify kernel code permanently x86/kprobes: Fix instruction recovery on optimized path perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switch perf: Disable PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_* when not supported perf/x86: Add LBR software filter support for Intel CPUs ...

2012-03-19tcp: reduce out_of_order memory useEric Dumazet
With increasing receive window sizes, but speed of light not improved that much, out of order queue can contain a huge number of skbs, waiting to be moved to receive_queue when missing packets can fill the holes. Some devices happen to use fat skbs (truesize of 4096 + sizeof(struct sk_buff)) to store regular (MTU <= 1500) frames. This makes highly probable sk_rmem_alloc hits sk_rcvbuf limit, which can be 4Mbytes in many cases. When limit is hit, tcp stack calls tcp_collapse_ofo_queue(), a true latency killer and cpu cache blower. Doing the coalescing attempt each time we add a frame in ofo queue permits to keep memory use tight and in many cases avoid the tcp_collapse() thing later. Tested on various wireless setups (b43, ath9k, ...) known to use big skb truesize, this patch removed the "packets collapsed in receive queue due to low socket buffer" I had before. This also reduced average memory used by tcp sockets. With help from Neal Cardwell.

2012-03-16arp: allow arp processing to honor per interface arp_accept sysctlNeil Horman
I found recently that the arp_process function which handles all of our received arp frames, is using IPV4_DEVCONF_ALL macro to check the state of the arp_process flag. This seems wrong, as it implies that either none or all of the network interfaces accept gratuitous arps. This patch corrects that, allowing per-interface arp_accept configuration to deviate from the all setting. Note this also brings us into line with the way the arp_filter setting is handled during arp_process execution. Tested this myself on my home network, and confirmed it works as expected.

This reverts commit d47a0ac7b6 (sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of flows) As Jesper found out, patch sounded great but has bad side effects. In stress situation, pushing new flows in front of the queue can prevent old flows doing any progress. Packets can stay in SFQ queue for unlimited amount of time. It's possible to add heuristics to limit this problem, but this would add complexity outside of SFQ scope. A more sensible answer to Dave Taht concerns (who reported the issued I tried to solve in original commit) is probably to use a qdisc hierarchy so that high prio packets dont enter a potentially crowded SFQ qdisc.

2012-03-13mac80211: Don't let regulatory make us deafPaul Stewart
When regulatory information changes our HT behavior (e.g, when we get a country code from the AP we have just associated with), we should use this information to change the power with which we transmit, and what channels we transmit. Sometimes the channel parameters we derive from regulatory information contradicts the parameters we used in association. For example, we could have associated specifying HT40, but the regulatory rules we apply may forbid HT40 operation. In the situation above, we should reconfigure ourselves to transmit in HT20 only, however it makes no sense for us to disable receive in HT40, since if we associated with these parameters, the AP has every reason to expect we can and will receive packets this way. The code in mac80211 does not have the capability of sending the appropriate action frames to signal a change in HT behaviour so the AP has no clue we can no longer receive frames encoded this way. In some broken AP implementations, this can leave us effectively deaf if the AP never retries in lower HT rates. This change breaks up the channel_type parameter in the ieee80211_enable_ht function into a separate receive and transmit part. It honors the channel flags set by regulatory in order to configure the rate control algorithm, but uses the capability flags to configure the channel on the radio, since these were used in association to set the AP's transmit rate.

2012-03-13mac80211: rename bss_conf timestamp to last_tsfJohannes Berg
This value is not really very useful by itself, yet some drivers (including iwlwifi until I can figure out what it should do) use it. At least rename it to "last_tsf" to indicate the meaning and add a note that it may be really old. I suspect the value may become useful combined with the rx_status->mactime, but we don't (yet) store that value and pass it to the driver.

2012-03-12mac80211: set basic rates earlierJohannes Berg
The authentication and association handshake already happens in the context of the new BSS, and the basic rates are needed at least for the ACK response frame to the authentication or association response frames. Therefore the basic rates should already be configured into the driver when those frames are sent. Change the logic to set up the basic rates in the connection preparation that happens for authentication and association (if needed).

2012-03-12mac80211: set channel back after disassociatingJohannes Berg
As we've discussed, we want to avoid channel changes while associated. While the part when we actually associate needs a bit more work, the bit that happens on disassociating can be changed quite easily. Move the channel type change later in the disassociate process to set the channel only after the driver was told that it's now disassociated. As the driver could expect powersave to be enabled only when associated, this thus results in splitting the config call, but overall what happens makes more sense this way.

2012-03-12mac80211: Limit TID buffering during BA session setup/teardownHelmut Schaa
While setting up or tearing down a BA session mac80211 is buffering pending frames for the according TID. However, there's currently no limit on how many frames are buffered possibly leading to an out-of- memory situation. This can happen on systems with little memory when the CPU is fully loaded since the BA session work is executed in process context while frames can still come via softirq. Apply a limitation to the TIDs pending queue to avoid consuming too much memory in this situation. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
