John W. Linville says: ==================== Please pull this batch of updates intended for the 3.14 stream... For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "I have various improvements/cleanups/fixes all over, but the shortlog shows that Luis's regulatory work and mesh work from the cozybit folks are the biggest ones, along with the CSA fixes." Along with that, we have big batches of updates to brcmfmac, rtlwifi, and ath9k. There are updates to wcn36xx, rt2x00, and a handful of others as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

With the introduction of TCP Small Queues, TSO auto sizing, and TCP pacing, we can implement Automatic Corking in the kernel, to help applications doing small write()/sendmsg() to TCP sockets. Idea is to change tcp_push() to check if the current skb payload is under skb optimal size (a multiple of MSS bytes) If under 'size_goal', and at least one packet is still in Qdisc or NIC TX queues, set the TCP Small Queue Throttled bit, so that the push will be delayed up to TX completion time. This delay might allow the application to coalesce more bytes in the skb in following write()/sendmsg()/sendfile() system calls. The exact duration of the delay is depending on the dynamics of the system, and might be zero if no packet for this flow is actually held in Qdisc or NIC TX ring. Using FQ/pacing is a way to increase the probability of autocorking being triggered. Add a new sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking) to control this feature and default it to 1 (enabled) Add a new SNMP counter : nstat -a | grep TcpExtTCPAutoCorking This counter is incremented every time we detected skb was under used and its flush was deferred. Tested: Interesting effects when using line buffered commands under ssh. Excellent performance results in term of cpu usage and total throughput. lpq83:~# echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking lpq83:~# perf stat ./super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128 9410.39 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128': 35209.439626 task-clock # 2.901 CPUs utilized 2,294 context-switches # 0.065 K/sec 101 CPU-migrations # 0.003 K/sec 4,079 page-faults # 0.116 K/sec 97,923,241,298 cycles # 2.781 GHz [83.31%] 51,832,908,236 stalled-cycles-frontend # 52.93% frontend cycles idle [83.30%] 25,697,986,603 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.24% backend cycles idle [66.70%] 102,225,978,536 instructions # 1.04 insns per cycle # 0.51 stalled cycles per insn [83.38%] 18,657,696,819 branches # 529.906 M/sec [83.29%] 91,679,646 branch-misses # 0.49% of all branches [83.40%] 12.136204899 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking lpq83:~# perf stat ./super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128 6624.89 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128': 40045.864494 task-clock # 3.301 CPUs utilized 171 context-switches # 0.004 K/sec 53 CPU-migrations # 0.001 K/sec 4,080 page-faults # 0.102 K/sec 111,340,458,645 cycles # 2.780 GHz [83.34%] 61,778,039,277 stalled-cycles-frontend # 55.49% frontend cycles idle [83.31%] 29,295,522,759 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.31% backend cycles idle [66.67%] 108,654,349,355 instructions # 0.98 insns per cycle # 0.57 stalled cycles per insn [83.34%] 19,552,170,748 branches # 488.244 M/sec [83.34%] 157,875,417 branch-misses # 0.81% of all branches [83.34%] 12.130267788 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Kevin Wallace authored
When running in a network namespace whose only link to the outside world is a macvlan device, not being able to create a macvtap off of it is a real pain. So modify macvtap creation to automatically forward a creation of a macvtap on a macvlan to become a creation of a macvtap on the underlying network device, just like is currently done with macvlan-on-macvlan devices. v2: Use netif_is_macvlan and macvlan_dev_real_dev helpers to make it more clear what we're doing.

John W. Linville says: ==================== Please pull this batch of fixes intende for the 3.13 stream! For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "For now I have various fixes all over, mostly for issues introduced in relatively recent patches. There's no real pattern to it. Some of the issues like go back longer, but still seemed 3.13 material." And... "These are just two patches disabling the broken CSA code. Once this goes into your tree I'll merge it into mac80211-next and revert there (since we fixed the bugs there)." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I have here a few fixes for BT Coex. One of them is a NULL pointer dereference. Another one avoids to enable a feature that can make the firmware unhappy since the firmware isn't ready for it yet. WE also avoid a WARNING that can be triggered upon association in not-so-bad cases even if the association succeeded. We add support for new NICs (not yet on the market) and bump the API so that 3.13 will be able to work with the new firmware that will be out soon hopefully. I also have a boundary check from Johannes." In addition to those... - Arend van Spriel fixes a brcmfmac problem that could use an uninitialized variable in an error path. - Borislav Petkov fixes a Kconfig-based build breakage problem for brcmsmac. - Michal Nazarewicz fixes a couple of NULL pointer dereference problems in ath9k and wcn36xx. - Sujith Manoharan fixes a couple of ath9k problems related to incorrect interpretation of EEPROM configuration data. - Ujjal Roy fixes a memory leak in mwifiex. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

As it stands dynamic user regulatory domain support is only possible for a few programmed regulatory domains as a few countries do not allow for this. The existing code however only would take advantage of the feature if a custom world regulatory domain is used though as that's when we clear beconing flags. We need to lift this restriction as otherwise this feature is pointless. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@do-not-panic.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The routine ath_reg_apply_active_scan_flags() can be a bit hard to read, this cleans it up by adding helpers for the two cases of clearing IR flags or adding them. This approach also makes no assumptions on the index of channels 12 and 13 so it should be portable accross different drivers.

The existing logic removes the passive scan flag from channels 12 and 13 when a regulatory hint coming from something other than a country IE has been passed. This is incorrect, the original intention was to ensure we always have passive scan enabled for these two channels for a specific set of custom world regulatory domains.
