The initial rate for STA's using rc80211_simple is set to the last rate in the rate table. For situations for which the signal is weak, the rate may be too high for authentication and association. Although the rc80211_simple module will adjust the speed, the response may not be fast enough for a successful connection. This modification sets the initial rate to the lowest supported value.

Add the new sch_rr qdisc for multiqueue network device support. Allow sch_prio and sch_rr to be compiled with or without multiqueue hardware support. sch_rr is part of sch_prio, and is referenced from MODULE_ALIAS. This was done since sch_prio and sch_rr only differ in their dequeue routine. Signed-off-by:

Add the multiqueue hardware device support API to the core network stack. Allow drivers to allocate multiple queues and manage them at the netdev level if they choose to do so. Added a new field to sk_buff, namely queue_mapping, for drivers to know which tx_ring to select based on OS classification of the flow. Signed-off-by:

This driver handles only L2TP data frames; control frames are handled by a userspace application. It implements L2TP using the PPPoX socket family. There is a PPPoX socket for each L2TP session in an L2TP tunnel. PPP data within each session is passed through the kernel's PPP subsystem via this driver. Kernel parameters of each socket can be read or modified using ioctl() or [gs]etsockopt() calls. Signed-off-by:

James Chapman authored
Add struct sockaddr_pppol2tp to carry L2TP-specific address information for the PPPoX (PPPoL2TP) socket. Unfortunately we can't use the union inside struct sockaddr_pppox because the L2TP-specific data is larger than the current size of the union and we must preserve the size of struct sockaddr_pppox for binary compatibility. Also add a PPPIOCGL2TPSTATS ioctl to allow userspace to obtain L2TP counters and state from the kernel. Add new if_pppol2tp.h header.

This patch adds a new UDP_ENCAP_L2TPINUDP encapsulation type for UDP sockets. When a UDP socket's encap_type is UDP_ENCAP_L2TPINUDP, the skb is delivered to a function pointed to by the udp_sock's encap_rcv funcptr. If the skb isn't wanted by L2TP, it returns >0, which causes it to be passed through to UDP. Include padding to put the new encap_rcv field on a 4-byte boundary. Previously, the only user of UDP encap sockets was ESP, so when CONFIG_XFRM was not defined, some of the encap code was compiled out. This patch changes that. As a result, udp_encap_rcv() will now do a little more work when CONFIG_XFRM is not defined. Signed-off-by:

Add support for configuring secondary unicast addresses on network devices. To support this devices capable of filtering multiple unicast addresses need to change their set_multicast_list function to configure unicast filters as well and assign it to dev->set_rx_mode instead of dev->set_multicast_list. Other devices are put into promiscous mode when secondary unicast addresses are present. Signed-off-by:

The existing model for checksum offload does not correctly handle devices that can offload IPV4 and IPV6 only. The NETIF_F_HW_CSUM flag implies device can do any arbitrary protocol. This patch: * adds NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM for those devices * fixes bnx2 and tg3 devices that need it * add NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM to ipv6 output (incl GSO) * fixes assumptions about NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM in nat * adjusts bridge union of checksumming computation Signed-off-by: -

It is clean-up for XFRM type modules and adds aliases with its protocol: ESP, AH, IPCOMP, IPIP and IPv6 for IPsec ROUTING and DSTOPTS for MIPv6 It is almost the same thing as XFRM mode alias, but it is added new defines XFRM_PROTO_XXX for preprocessing since some protocols are defined as enum.

This patch makes MIPv6 loadable module named "mip6". Here is a modprobe.conf(5) example to load it automatically when user application uses XFRM state for MIPv6: alias xfrm-type-10-43 mip6 alias xfrm-type-10-60 mip6 Some MIPv6 feature is not included by this modular, however, it should not be affected to other features like either IPsec or IPv6 with and without the patch. We may discuss XFRM, MH (RAW socket) and ancillary data/sockopt separately for future work. Loadable features: * MH receiving check (to send ICMP error back) * RO header parsing and building (i.e. RH2 and HAO in DSTOPTS) * XFRM policy/state database handling for RO These are NOT covered as loadable: * Home Address flags and its rule on source address selection * XFRM sub policy (depends on its own kernel option) * XFRM functions to receive RO as IPv6 extension header * MH sending/receiving through raw socket if user application opens it (since raw socket allows to do so) * RH2 sending as ancillary data * RH2 operation with setsockopt(2) Signed-off-by:

Add a nested compat attribute type that can be used to convert attributes that contain a structure to nested attributes in a backwards compatible way. The attribute looks like this: struct { [ compat contents ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = total size, .rta_type = type, } rta; struct old_structure struct; [ nested top-level attribute ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = nest size, .rta_type = type, } nest_attr; [ optional 0 .. n nested attributes ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = private attribute len, .rta_type = private attribute typ, } nested_attr; struct nested_data data; }; Since both userspace and kernel deal correctly with attributes that are larger than expected old versions will just parse the compat part and ignore the rest.

Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them, even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is actually writable because TCP release the header reference before cloning. The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit. I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch, but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback, probably because of the large MTU. Transmit a 1GB file using sendfile/sendmsg over eth0/lo with and without NAT: - sendfile eth0, no NAT: sys 0m0.388s - sendfile eth0, NAT: sys 0m1.835s - sendfile eth0: NAT + path: sys 0m0.370s (~ -80%) - sendfile lo, no NAT: sys 0m0.258s - sendfile lo, NAT: sys 0m2.609s - sendfile lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m0.260s (~ -90%) - sendmsg eth0, no NAT: sys 0m2.508s - sendmsg eth0, NAT: sys 0m2.539s - sendmsg eth0, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.445s (no change) - sendmsg lo, no NAT: sys 0m2.151s - sendmsg lo, NAT: sys 0m3.557s - sendmsg lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.159s (~ -40%) I expect other users can see a similar performance improvement, packet mangling iptables targets, ipip and ip_gre come to mind ..

Changes : - netif_queue_stopped need not be called inside qdisc_restart as it has been called already in qdisc_run() before the first skb is sent, and in __qdisc_run() after each intermediate skb is sent (note : we are the only sender, so the queue cannot get stopped while the tx lock was got in the ~LLTX case). - BUG_ON((int) q->q.qlen < 0) was a relic from old times when -1 meant more packets are available, and __qdisc_run used to loop when qdisc_restart() returned -1. During those days, it was necessary to make sure that qlen is never less than zero, since __qdisc_run would get into an infinite loop if no packets are on the queue and this bug in qdisc was there (and worse - no more skbs could ever get queue'd as we hold the queue lock too). With Herbert's recent change to return values, this check is not required. Hopefully Herbert can validate this change. If at all this is required, it should be added to skb_dequeue (in failure case), and not to qdisc_qlen. Signed-off-by:

New changes : - Incorporated Peter Waskiewicz's comments. - Re-added back one warning message (on driver returning wrong value). Previous changes : - Converted to use switch/case code which looks neater. - "if (ret == NETDEV_TX_LOCKED && lockless)" is buggy, and the lockless check should be removed, since driver will return NETDEV_TX_LOCKED only if lockless is true and driver has to do the locking. In the original code as well as the latest code, this code can result in a bug where if LLTX is not set for a driver (lockless == 0) but the driver is written wrongly to do a trylock (despite LLTX being set), the driver returns LOCKED. But since lockless is zero, the packet is requeue'd instead of calling collision code which will issue warning and free up the skb. Instead this skb will be retried with this driver next time, and the same result will ensue. Removing this check will catch these driver bugs instead of hiding the problem. I am keeping this change to readability section since : a. it is confusing to check two things as it is; and b. it is difficult to keep this check in the changed 'switch' code. - Changed some names, like try_get_tx_pkt to dev_dequeue_skb (as that is the work being done and easier to understand) and do_dev_requeue to dev_requeue_skb, merged handle_dev_cpu_collision and tx_islocked to dev_handle_collision (handle_dev_cpu_collision is a small routine with only one caller, so there is no need to have two separate routines which also results in getting rid of two macros, etc. - Removed an XXX comment as it should never fail (I suspect this was related to batch skb WIP, Jamal ?). Converted some functions to original coding style of having the return values and the function name on same line, eg prio2list. Signed-off-by:

ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet currently returns 0 when the time difference between current time and t_nom is less than 1000 microseconds. In this case the packet is sent immediately; but, unlike other packets that can be emitted on first attempt, it will not have its window counter updated and its options set as required. This is a bug. Fix: Require the time difference to be at least 1000 microseconds. The algorithm then converges: time differences > 1000 microseconds trigger the timer in dccp_write_xmit; after timer expiry this function is tried again; when the time difference is less than 1000, the packet will have its options added and window counter updated as required.
