When a station w/o a key is destroyed, or when

references it again, it seems like potentially
we could reference the station structure while
it is being destroyed.
Wait for an RCU grace period to elapse before
finishing destroying the station after we have
removed the station from the driver and from
the hash table etc., even in the case where no
key is associated with the station.
Also, there's no point in deleting the plink

cfg80211 is quite strict on allowing authentication and association
commands only in certain states. In order to meet these requirements,
user space applications may need to clear authentication or
association state in some cases. Currently, this can be done with
deauth/disassoc command, but that ends up sending out Deauthentication
or Disassociation frame unnecessarily. Add a new nl80211 attribute to
allow this sending of the frame be skipped, but with all other
deauth/disassoc operations being completed.
Similar state change is also needed for IEEE 802.11r FT protocol in
the FT-over-DS case which does not use Authentication frame exchange
in a transition to another BSS. For this to work with cfg80211, an
authentication entry needs to be created for the target BSS without
sending out an Authentication frame. The nl80211 authentication
command can be used for this purpose, too, with the new attribute to
indicate that the command is only for changing local state. This
enables wpa_supplicant to complete FT-over-DS transition successfully.

__xfrm_lookup() is called for each packet transmitted out of

kill system performance depending on how many bundles are

This modifies __xfrm_lookup() to store bundles directly in

This allows to validate the cached object before returning it.
It also allows to destruct object properly, if the last reference
was held in flow cache. This is also a prepartion for caching
bundles in the flow cache.
In return for virtualizing the methods, we save on:
- not having to regenerate the whole flow cache on policy removal:
each flow matching a killed policy gets refreshed as the getter
function notices it smartly.
- we do not have to call flow_cache_flush from policy gc, since the

userspace apps should use netlink to obtain status about l2tp tunnels

The previous pppol2tp driver was managed using [gs]etsockopt(). This
API is retained for backwards compatibility. Unlike L2TPv2 which
carries only PPP frames, L2TPv3 can carry raw ethernet frames or other

to prepare for L2TPv3 support. In L2TPv3, protocols other than PPP can

Note that the existing pppol2tp module is split into l2tp_core and
l2tp_ppp by this change.

Robert Hancock pointed out two problems about NETIF_F_HIGHDMA:
-Many drivers only set the flag when they detect they can use 64-bit DMA,
since otherwise they could receive DMA addresses that they can't handle
(which on platforms without IOMMU/SWIOTLB support is fatal). This means that if
64-bit support isn't available, even buffers located below 4GB will get copied
unnecessarily.
-Some drivers set the flag even though they can't actually handle 64-bit DMA,
which would mean that on platforms without IOMMU/SWIOTLB they would get a DMA
mapping error if the memory they received happened to be located above 4GB.

One of my test machine got a deadlock during "tc" sessions,
adding/deleting classes & filters, using traffic estimators.
After some analysis, I believe we have a potential use after free case
in est_timer() :
spin_lock(e->stats_lock); << HERE >>
read_lock(&est_lock);
if (e->bstats == NULL) << TEST >>
goto skip;
Test is done a bit late, because after estimator is killed, and before
rcu grace period elapsed, we might already have freed/reuse memory where
e->stats_locks points to (some qdisc->q.lock)
A possible fix is to respect a rcu grace period at Qdisc dismantle time.
On 64bit, sizeof(struct Qdisc) is exactly 192 bytes. Adding 16 bytes to
it (for struct rcu_head) is a problem because it might change

When selecting the RX key for group-addressed robust management
frames, we do not actually select any BIP key if the frame is
unprotected (since we cannot find the key index from MMIE). This
results in the drop_unencrypted check in failing to drop the frame. It
is enough to verify that we have a STA entry for the transmitter and
that MFP is enabled for that STA; we do not need to check rx->key
here. This fixes BIP processing for unprotected, group-addressed,

BIP (part of IEEE 802.11w) is only supposed to be used with

for every management whenever we did not have a STA entry for the
destination (e.g., for Probe Response to a STA that is not
associated). While the extra MMIE in the end of management frames
should not break frames completed in most cases, there is no point in

When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, the
deauthentication and disassociation frames must be protected whenever
the encryption keys are configured. We were removing the STA entry and
with it, the keys, just before actually sending out these frames which
meant that the frames went out unprotected. The AP will drop them in
such a case. Fix this by reordering the operations a bit so that
sta_info_destroy_addr() gets called only after
ieee80211_send_deauth_disassoc().

addr_bit_test() is used in various places in IPv6 routing table
subsystem. It checks if the given fn_bit is set,
where fn_bit counts bits from MSB in words in network-order.
fn_bit : 0 .... 31 32 .... 64 65 .... 95 96 ....127
fn_bit >> 5 gives offset of word, and (~fn_bit & 0x1f) gives
count from LSB in the network-endian word in question.
fn_bit >> 5 : 0 1 2 3
~fn_bit & 0x1f: 31 .... 0 31 .... 0 31 .... 0 31 .... 0
Thus, the mask was generated as htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f)).
This can be optimized by "sweezle" (See include/asm-generic/bitops/le.h).
In little-endian,
htonl(1 << bit) = 1 << (bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE)
where
BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE is (0x1f & ~7)
So,
htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f)) = 1 << ((~fn_bit & 0x1f) ^ (0x1f & ~7))
= 1 << ((~fn_bit ^ ~7) & 0x1f)
= 1 << ((~fn_bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE) & 0x1f)
In big-endian, BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE is equal to 0.
1 << ((~fn_bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE) & 0x1f)
= 1 << ((~fn_bit) & 0x1f)
= htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f))

"mac80211: fix skb buffering issue" still left a race
between enabling the hardware queues and the virtual
interface queues. In hindsight it's totally obvious
that enabling the netdev queues for a hardware queue
when the hardware queue is enabled is wrong, because
it could well possible that we can fill the hw queue
with packets we already have pending. Thus, we must
only enable the netdev queues once all the pending
packets have been processed and sent off to the device.
In testing, I haven't been able to trigger this race
condition, but it's clearly there, possibly only when
aggregation is being enabled.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

before the connection characteristics of the existing connection become too bad
or the association is even lost, leading in a prolonged delay in connectivity.

Commit 8ccb92ad (netfilter: xt_recent: fix false match) fixed supposedly
false matches in rules using a zero hit_count. As it turns out there is
nothing false about these matches and people are actually using entries
with a hit_count of zero to make rules dependant on addresses inserted
manually through /proc.
Since this slipped past the eyes of three reviewers, instead of
reverting the commit in question, this patch explicitly checks
for a hit_count of zero to make the intentions more clear.

TCP sessions over IPv4 can get stuck if routers between endpoints
do not fragment packets but implement PMTU instead, and we are using
those routers because of an ICMP redirect.
Setup is as follows
MTU1 MTU2 MTU1
A--------B------C------D
with MTU1 > MTU2. A and D are endpoints, B and C are routers. B and C
implement PMTU and drop packets larger than MTU2 (for example because
DF is set on all packets). TCP sessions are initiated between A and D.
There is packet loss between A and D, causing frequent TCP
retransmits.
After the number of retransmits on a TCP session reaches tcp_retries1,
tcp calls dst_negative_advice() prior to each retransmit. This results
in route cache entries for the peer to be deleted in
ipv4_negative_advice() if the Path MTU is set.
If the outstanding data on an affected TCP session is larger than
MTU2, packets sent from the endpoints will be dropped by B or C, and
ICMP NEEDFRAG will be returned. A and D receive NEEDFRAG messages and
update PMTU.
Before the next retransmit, tcp will again call dst_negative_advice(),
causing the route cache entry (with correct PMTU) to be deleted. The
retransmitted packet will be larger than MTU2, causing it to be
dropped again.
This sequence repeats until the TCP session aborts or is terminated.
Problem is fixed by removing redirected route cache entries in
ipv4_negative_advice() only if the PMTU is expired.

This patch reduces timer events while keeping accuracy by rounding
our timer and/or batching several address validations in addrconf_verify().
addrconf_verify() is called at earliest timeout among interface addresses'
timeouts, but at maximum ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY (120 secs).
In most cases, all of timeouts of interface addresses are long enough
(e.g. several hours or days vs 2 minutes), this timer is usually called
every ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY, and it is okay to be lazy.
(Note this timer could be eliminated if all code paths which modifies
variables related to timeouts call us manually, but it is another story.)
However, in other least but important cases, we try keeping accuracy.
When the real interface address timeout is coming, and the timeout
is just before the rounded timeout, we accept some error.
When a timeout has been reached, we also try batching other several
events in very near future.

Under NET_DMA, data transfer can grind to a halt when userland issues a
large read on a socket with a high RCVLOWAT (i.e., 512 KB for both).
This appears to be because the NET_DMA design queues up lots of memcpy
operations, but doesn't issue or wait for them (and thus free the
associated skbs) until it is time for tcp_recvmesg() to return.
The socket hangs when its TCP window goes to zero before enough data is
available to satisfy the read.
Periodically issue asynchronous memcpy operations, and free skbs for ones
that have completed, to prevent sockets from going into zero-window mode.

Origional commit message:
Allow retransmission of cloned buffers
This patch fixes an issue with TIPC's message retransmission logic
that prevented retransmission of clone sk_buffs. Originally intended
as a means of avoiding wasted work in retransmitting messages that
were still on the driver's outbound queue, it also prevented TIPC
from retransmitting messages through other means -- such as the
secondary bearer of the broadcast link, or another interface in a
set of bonded interfaces. This fix removes existing checks for
cloned sk_buffs that prevented such retransmission.

This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS). RPS
distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs.
Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received
packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high
packet load. This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single
queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores.
This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues
of other CPUs. This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be
performed on packets in parallel. For each device (or each receive queue in
a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can
process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents
of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index
into the CPU mask. The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive
softirqs between CPUs. This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue
NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support.
Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis
(e.g. the Toeplitz hash). This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash
in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps.
Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when
steering it to a remote CPU.
The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable
/sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus. This is a set of canonical
bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>). If a device
does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0).
Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single
queue device with good CPU utilization. Optimal settings for the CPU mask
seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy. Below are some results
running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp.
Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization.
e1000e on 8 core Intel
Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU
With RPS: 311K tps at 64% CPU
forcedeth on 16 core AMD
Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU
With RPS: 404K tps at 49% CPU
bnx2x on 16 core AMD
Without RPS 567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Without RPS 738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues)
With RPS: 854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Caveats:
- The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy.
Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary.
- This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet. In
a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of
increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation.
We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with
the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this.
- The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed
this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets. It's
probably best not change the masks too frequently.

RDS's error messages when a connection goes down are a little
extreme. A connection may go down, and it will be re-established,
and everything is fine. This patch links these messages through
rdsdebug(), instead of to printk directly.

if a machine is shut down without closing sockets properly, and
freeing all MRs, then a BUG_ON will bring it down. This patch
changes these to WARN_ONs -- leaking MRs is not fatal (although
not ideal, and there is more work to do here for a proper fix.)

Fix a deadlock between rds_rdma_send_complete() and
rds_send_remove_from_sock() when rds socket lock and
rds message lock are acquired out-of-order.

We have two kinds of loopback: software (via loop transport)
and hardware (via IB). sw is used for 127.0.0.1, and doesn't
support rdma ops. hw is used for sends to local device IPs,
and supports rdma. Both are used in different cases.
For both of these, when there is a congestion map update, we
want to call rds_cong_map_updated() but not actually send
anything -- since loopback local and foreign congestion maps
point to the same spot, they're already in sync.
The old code never called sw loop's xmit_cong_map(),so
rds_cong_map_updated() wasn't being called for it. sw loop
ports would not work right with the congestion monitor.
Fixing that meant that hw loopback now would send congestion maps
to itself. This is also undesirable (racy), so we check for this
case in the ib-specific xmit code.

Instead of waking the send thread whenever any send space is available,
wait until it is at least half empty. This is modeled on how
sock_def_write_space() does it, and may help to minimize context
switches.

Other transports use rds_page_copy_user, which updates our
s_copy_to_user counter. TCP doesn't, so it needs to explicity
call rds_stats_add().

BUGging on a runtime error code should be avoided. This
patch also eliminates all other BUG()s that have no real
reason to exist.

Without CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING,
BR_INPUT_SKB_CB(skb)->mrouters_only is not appropriately
initialized, so we can see garbage.
A clear option to fix this is to set it even without that
config, but we cannot optimize out the branch.
Let's introduce a macro that returns value of mrouters_only
and let it return 0 without CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING.
