When module param p2pon is used a p2p device is created at init. This patch reworks how this is done by using the same method as for a dynamically (by user space) created p2p device.

When a USB device gets disconnected due to for example removal then it is possible that it is still in the loading phase due to the asynchronous load routines. These routines can then possible access memory which has been freed. Fix this by mutex locking the device init phase.

This is an alternate driver for a number of Realtek WiFi USB devices, including RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU. It was written from scratch utilizing the Linux mac80211 stack. After spending months cleaning up the vendor provided rtl8723au driver, which comes with it's own 802.11 stack included, I decided to rewrite this driver from the bottom up. Many thanks to Johannes Berg for 802.11 insights and help and Larry Finger for help with the vendor driver. The full git log for the development of this driver can be found here: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git branch rtl8723au-mac80211 This driver is still under development, but has proven to be very stable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has support for OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in the staging driver, such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channel support. In addition it does not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor mode support at this point. The driver is known to work with the following devices: Lenovo Yoga (rtl8723au) TP-Link TL-WN823N (rtl8192cu) Etekcity 6R (rtl8188cu) Daffodil LAN03 (rtl8188cu) Alfa AWUS036NHR (rtl8188ru) Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>

The FreeBSD driver [0] uses the same 2G values as for the AR9280 chips. Using the same values in ath9k results in much better throughput for me. Before this patch I had a huge amount of packet loss (sometimes up to 40%) and the max transfer speed was somewhere around 5Mbit/s. With this patch applied I have zero packet loss and ten times the throughput. My device uses a AR9227 which is the PCI variant of the AR9287.

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted, it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are visable to the user.

Currently it's possible for someone to send a vlan range to the kernel with the pvid flag set which will result in the pvid bouncing from a vlan to vlan and isn't correct, it also introduces problems for hardware where it doesn't make sense having more than 1 pvid. iproute2 already enforces this, so let's enforce it on kernel-side as well.

Eric W. Biederman says: ==================== net: Pass net into defragmentation This is the next installment of my work to pass struct net through the output path so the code does not need to guess how to figure out which network namespace it is in, and ultimately routes can have output devices in another network namespace. In netfilter and af_packet we defragment packets in the output path, and there is the usual amount of confusion about how to compute which net we are processing the packets in. This patchset clears that confusion up by explicitly passing in struct net in ip_defrag, ip_check_defrag, and nf_ct_frag6_gather. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The function nf_ct_frag6_gather is called on both the input and the output paths of the networking stack. In particular ipv6_defrag which calls nf_ct_frag6_gather is called from both the the PRE_ROUTING chain on input and the LOCAL_OUT chain on output. The addition of a net parameter makes it explicit which network namespace the packets are being reassembled in, and removes the need for nf_ct_frag6_gather to guess. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Recent TCP listener patches exposed a prior af_packet bug : match_fanout_group() blindly assumes it is always safe to cast sk to a packet socket to compare fanout with af_packet_priv But SYNACK packets can be sent while attached to request_sock, which are smaller than a "struct sock".

This patch allows configuring how the source address of ICMP redirect messages is selected; by default the old behaviour is retained, while setting icmp_redirects_use_orig_daddr force the usage of the destination address of the packet that caused the redirect. The new behaviour fits closely the RFC 5798 section 8.1.1, and fix the following scenario: Two machines are set up with VRRP to act as routers out of a subnet, they have IPs x.x.x.1/24 and x.x.x.2/24, with VRRP holding on to x.x.x.254/24. If a host in said subnet needs to get an ICMP redirect from the VRRP router, i.e. to reach a destination behind a different gateway, the source IP in the ICMP redirect is chosen as the primary IP on the interface that the packet arrived at, i.e. x.x.x.1 or x.x.x.2. The host will then ignore said redirect, due to RFC 1122 section 3.2.2.2, and will continue to use the wrong next-op. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: better smp listener behavior As promised in last patch series, we implement a better SO_REUSEPORT strategy, based on cpu hints if given by the application. We also moved sk_refcnt out of the cache line containing the lookup keys, as it was considerably slowing down smp operations because of false sharing. This was simpler than converting listen sockets to conventional RCU (to avoid sk_refcnt dirtying) Could process 6.0 Mpps SYN instead of 4.2 Mpps on my test server. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

sk->sk_refcnt is dirtied for every TCP/UDP incoming packet. This is a performance issue if multiple cpus hit a common socket, or multiple sockets are chained due to SO_REUSEPORT. By moving sk_refcnt 8 bytes further, first 128 bytes of sockets are mostly read. As they contain the lookup keys, this has a considerable performance impact, as cpus can cache them. These 8 bytes are not wasted, we use them as a place holder for various fields, depending on the socket type. Tested: SYN flood hitting a 16 RX queues NIC. TCP listener using 16 sockets and SO_REUSEPORT and SO_INCOMING_CPU for proper siloing. Could process 6.0 Mpps SYN instead of 4.2 Mpps Kernel profile looked like : 11.68% [kernel] [k] sha_transform 6.51% [kernel] [k] __inet_lookup_listener 5.07% [kernel] [k] __inet_lookup_established 4.15% [kernel] [k] memcpy_erms 3.46% [kernel] [k] ipt_do_table 2.74% [kernel] [k] fib_table_lookup 2.54% [kernel] [k] tcp_make_synack 2.34% [kernel] [k] tcp_conn_request 2.05% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 2.03% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_alloc Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

SO_INCOMING_CPU as added in commit 2c8c56e1 was a getsockopt() command to fetch incoming cpu handling a particular TCP flow after accept() This commits adds setsockopt() support and extends SO_REUSEPORT selection logic : If a TCP listener or UDP socket has this option set, a packet is delivered to this socket only if CPU handling the packet matches the specified one. This allows to build very efficient TCP servers, using one listener per RX queue, as the associated TCP listener should only accept flows handled in softirq by the same cpu. This provides optimal NUMA behavior and keep cpu caches hot. Note that __inet_lookup_listener() still has to iterate over the list of all listeners. Following patch puts sk_refcnt in a different cache line to let this iteration hit only shared and read mostly cache lines. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
