This patch removes the key threshold stuff from mac80211. I have patches for later that add it as a per-key setting to nl/cfg80211. Signed-off-by:

The following patch fixes the tx transmit timeout problem, which is caused by the interrupts being incorrectly check and masked. The patch moves the interrupt masking code so that interrupts are enabled only when the driver is registered and only disabled when the driver is unregistered. Signed-off-by:

This change cleans up the radio-related messages in several ways. (1) The state of the rfkill switch is assumed to be on, rather than tested. Now, any user without such a switch will not see any messages. For devices with such a switch, a message will be logged only if the initial state is off, or if the switch is toggled. (2) The routine for testing the switch state is no longer inline. (3) The LED handling routine is simplified. (4) The "Radio turned off" message that has confused some users has been changed to "Radio initialized". This patch is patterned after a similar change to b43 by Michael Buesch.

This adds support for turning the radio off in software. That's useful in environments, where you don't want the RF to radiate any signals, but don't want to bring the interface down. This patch is based on a similar patch of b43 by Michael Buesch. Signed-off-by:

This adds support for disabling the radio and setting the TXpower through wext. This also fixes the prism TXpower ioctl (It always overwrote the TXpower value in ieee80211_hw_config()) Signed-off-by:

It seems I was actually able to hit this deadlock, on my quad G5 softmac locks up more often than not. This fixes it by using an own workqueue that can safely be flushed under RTNL. Not sure if the patch is correct with the workqueue naming. And don't think with the patch it doesn't continually lock up. It still does, just doesn't invoke lockdep warnings all the time.

On a PCI bus use ioreadX() and iowriteX(). We map the I/O space with pci_iomap(), so we must use the correct accessor functions, too. readX() and writeX() are not guaranteed to accept the cookie returned from pci_iomap() (though, it currently works on most architectures). Signed-off-by:

Some distros ship bcm43xx with debugging printout disabled. For those BCM43xx devices with radio on/off switches, this makes it impossible to know if the radio is on or off. This patch changes a pair of debug printk's into ordinary printk's. It also changes the message that prints when the radio is initialized to the off state as the old message seems to confuse users.

For N cpus, with full throttle traffic on all N CPUs, funneling traffic to the same ethernet device, the devices queue lock is contended by all N CPUs constantly. The TX lock is only contended by a max of 2 CPUS. In the current mode of operation, after all the work of entering the dequeue region, we may endup aborting the path if we are unable to get the tx lock and go back to contend for the queue lock. As N goes up, this gets worse. The changes in this patch result in a small increase in performance with a 4CPU (2xdual-core) with no irq binding. Both e1000 and tg3 showed similar behavior; Signed-off-by:

Doing this makes loopback.c a better example of how to do a simple network device, and it removes the special case single static allocation of a struct net_device, hopefully making maintenance easier. Signed-off-by:

There's no reason to clear the sacktag skb hint when small part of the rexmit queue changes. Account changes (if any) instead when fragmenting/collapsing. RTO/FRTO do not touch SACKED_ACKED bits so no need to discard SACK tag hint at all. Signed-off-by:

Most of the description that follows comes from my mail to netdev (some editing done): Main obstacle to FRTO use is its deployment as it has to be on the sender side where as wireless link is often the receiver's access link. Take initiative on behalf of unlucky receivers and enable it by default in future Linux TCP senders. Also IETF seems to interested in advancing FRTO from experimental [1]. How does FRTO help? =================== FRTO detects spurious RTOs and avoids a number of unnecessary retransmissions and a couple of other problems that can arise due to incorrect guess made at RTO (i.e., that segments were lost when they actually got delayed which is likely to occur e.g. in wireless environments with link-layer retransmission). Though FRTO cannot prevent the first (potentially unnecessary) retransmission at RTO, I suspect that it won't cost that much even if you have to pay for each bit (won't be that high percentage out of all packets after all :-)). However, usually when you have a spurious RTO, not only the first segment unnecessarily retransmitted but the *whole window*. It goes like this: all cumulative ACKs got delayed due to in-order delivery, then TCP will actually send 1.5*original cwnd worth of data in the RTO's slow-start when the delayed ACKs arrive (basically the original cwnd worth of it unnecessarily). In case one is interested in minimizing unnecessary retransmissions e.g. due to cost, those rexmissions must never see daylight. Besides, in the worst case the generated burst overloads the bottleneck buffers which is likely to significantly delay the further progress of the flow. In case of ll rexmissions, ACK compression often occurs at the same time making the burst very "sharp edged" (in that case TCP often loses most of the segments above high_seq => very bad performance too). When FRTO is enabled, those unnecessary retransmissions are fully avoided except for the first segment and the cwnd behavior after detected spurious RTO is determined by the response (one can tune that by sysctl). Basic version (non-SACK enhanced one), FRTO can fail to detect spurious RTO as spurious and falls back to conservative behavior. ACK lossage is much less significant than reordering, usually the FRTO can detect spurious RTO if at least 2 cumulative ACKs from original window are preserved (excluding the ACK that advances to high_seq). With SACK-enhanced version, the detection is quite robust. FRTO should remove the need to set a high lower bound for the RTO estimator due to delay spikes that occur relatively common in some environments (esp. in wireless/cellular ones).

Since the SACK enhanced FRTO was added, the code has been under test numerous times so remove "experimental" claim from the documentation. Also be a bit more verbose about the usage. Signed-off-by:

Basically this change enables it, previously other undo_marker users were left with nothing. Reverse undo_marker logic completely to get it set right in CA_Loss. On the other hand, when spurious RTO is detected, clear it. Clearing might be too heavy for some scenarios but seems safe enough starting point for now and shouldn't have much effect except in majority of cases (if in any). By adding a new FLAG_ we avoid looping through write_queue when RTO occurs. Signed-off-by:

Implements following cleanups: - Comment re-placement (CodingStyle) - tcp_tso_acked() local (wrapper-like) variable removal (readability) - __-types removed (IMHO they make local variables jumpy looking and just was space) - acked -> flag (naming conventions elsewhere in TCP code) - linebreak adjustments (readability) - nested if()s combined (reduced indentation) - clarifying newlines added Signed-off-by:

The accounting code is pretty much the same, so it's a shame we do it in two places. I'm not too sure if added fully_acked check in MTU probing is really what we want perhaps the added end_seq could be used in the after() comparison. Signed-off-by:

In general, it should not be necessary to call tcp_fragment for already SACKed skbs, but it's better to be safe than sorry. And indeed, it can be called from sacktag when a DSACK arrives or some ACK (with SACK) reordering occurs (sacktag could be made to avoid the call in the latter case though I'm not sure if it's worth of the trouble and added complexity to cover such marginal case). The collapse case has return for SACKED_ACKED case earlier, so just WARN_ON if internal inconsistency is detected for some reason. Signed-off-by:
