Previously the rev contained the revision read from the pci config space and was used as board_rev in the wireless drivers. This is wrong the board_rev is only fetched from the sprom accordingly to the open source part of the Broadcom SDK and brcmsmac. This patch removes the rev from the boardinfo structure and uses the board_rev attribute from sprom instead. This attribute is filled by PCI, PCMCIA, SDIO and SoC code.

This patch removes ip_queue support which was marked as obsolete years ago. The nfnetlink_queue modules provides more advanced user-space packet queueing mechanism.

2012-05-08netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix explicit helper attachment and NATPablo Neira Ayuso
Explicit helper attachment via the CT target is broken with NAT if non-standard ports are used. This problem was hidden behind the automatic helper assignment routine. Thus, it becomes more noticeable now that we can disable the automatic helper assignment with Eric Leblond's: 9e8ac5a netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to disable automatic helper assignment Basically, nf_conntrack_alter_reply asks for looking up the helper up if NAT is enabled. Unfortunately, we don't have the conntrack template at that point anymore. Since we don't want to rely on the automatic helper assignment, we can skip the second look-up and stick to the helper that was attached by iptables. With the CT target, the user is in full control of helper attachment, thus, the policy is to trust what the user explicitly configures via iptables (no automatic magic anymore). Interestingly, this bug was hidden by the automatic helper look-up code. But it can be easily trigger if you attach the helper in a non-standard port, eg. iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 8888 \ -j CT --helper ftp And you disabled the automatic helper assignment. I added the IPS_HELPER_BIT that allows us to differenciate between a helper that has been explicitly attached and those that have been automatically assigned. I didn't come up with a better solution (having backward compatibility in mind). Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2012-05-08ipvs: add support for sync threadsPablo Neira Ayuso
Allow master and backup servers to use many threads for sync traffic. Add sysctl var "sync_ports" to define the number of threads. Every thread will use single UDP port, thread 0 will use the default port 8848 while last thread will use port 8848+sync_ports-1. The sync traffic for connections is scheduled to many master threads based on the cp address but one connection is always assigned to same thread to avoid reordering of the sync messages. Remove ip_vs_sync_switch_mode because this check for sync mode change is still risky. Instead, check for mode change under sync_buff_lock. Make sure the backup socks do not block on reading.

2012-05-08ipvs: reduce sync rate with time thresholdsJulian Anastasov
Add two new sysctl vars to control the sync rate with the main idea to reduce the rate for connection templates because currently it depends on the packet rate for controlled connections. This mechanism should be useful also for normal connections with high traffic. sync_refresh_period: in seconds, difference in reported connection timer that triggers new sync message. It can be used to avoid sync messages for the specified period (or half of the connection timeout if it is lower) if connection state is not changed from last sync. sync_retries: integer, 0..3, defines sync retries with period of sync_refresh_period/8. Useful to protect against loss of sync messages. Allow sysctl_sync_threshold to be used with sysctl_sync_period=0, so that only single sync message is sent if sync_refresh_period is also 0. Add new field "sync_endtime" in connection structure to hold the reported time when connection expires. The 2 lowest bits will represent the retry count. As the sysctl_sync_period now can be 0 use ACCESS_ONCE to avoid division by zero. Special thanks to Aleksey Chudov for being patient with me, for his extensive reports and helping in all tests.

2012-05-08ipvs: wakeup master threadPablo Neira Ayuso
High rate of sync messages in master can lead to overflowing the socket buffer and dropping the messages. Fixed sleep of 1 second without wakeup events is not suitable for loaded masters, Use delayed_work to schedule sending for queued messages and limit the delay to IPVS_SYNC_SEND_DELAY (20ms). This will reduce the rate of wakeups but to avoid sending long bursts we wakeup the master thread after IPVS_SYNC_WAKEUP_RATE (8) messages. Add hard limit for the queued messages before sending by using "sync_qlen_max" sysctl var. It defaults to 1/32 of the memory pages but actually represents number of messages. It will protect us from allocating large parts of memory when the sending rate is lower than the queuing rate. As suggested by Pablo, add new sysctl var "sync_sock_size" to configure the SNDBUF (master) or RCVBUF (slave) socket limit. Default value is 0 (preserve system defaults). Change the master thread to detect and block on SNDBUF overflow, so that we do not drop messages when the socket limit is low but the sync_qlen_max limit is not reached. On ENOBUFS or other errors just drop the messages. Change master thread to enter TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state early, so that we do not miss wakeups due to messages or kthread_should_stop event.

2012-05-08ipvs: always update some of the flags bits in backupJulian Anastasov
As the goal is to mirror the inactconns/activeconns counters in the backup server, make sure the cp->flags are updated even if cp is still not bound to dest. If cp->flags are not updated ip_vs_bind_dest will rely only on the initial flags when updating the counters. To avoid mistakes and complicated checks for protocol state rely only on the IP_VS_CONN_F_INACTIVE bit when updating the counters.

2012-05-08netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to disable automatic helper assignmentEric Leblond
This patch allows you to disable automatic conntrack helper lookup based on TCP/UDP ports, eg. echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper [ Note: flows that already got a helper will keep using it even if automatic helper assignment has been disabled ] Once this behaviour has been disabled, you have to explicitly use the iptables CT target to attach helper to flows. There are good reasons to stop supporting automatic helper assignment, for further information, please read: http://www.netfilter.org/news.html#2012-04-03 This patch also adds one message to inform that automatic helper assignment is deprecated and it will be removed soon (this is spotted only once, with the first flow that gets a helper attached to make it as less annoying as possible).

2012-05-08netdev/of/phy: Add MDIO bus multiplexer support.David Daney
This patch adds a somewhat generic framework for MDIO bus multiplexers. It is modeled on the I2C multiplexer. The multiplexer is needed if there are multiple PHYs with the same address connected to the same MDIO bus adepter, or if there is insufficient electrical drive capability for all the connected PHY devices. Conceptually it could look something like this: ------------------ | Control Signal | --------+--------- | --------------- --------+------ | MDIO MASTER |---| Multiplexer | --------------- --+-------+---- | | C C h h i i l l d d | | --------- A B --------- | | | | | | | PHY@1 +-------+ +---+ PHY@1 | | | | | | | --------- | | --------- --------- | | --------- | | | | | | | PHY@2 +-------+ +---+ PHY@2 | | | | | --------- --------- This framework configures the bus topology from device tree data. The mechanics of switching the multiplexer is left to device specific drivers. The follow-on patch contains a multiplexer driven by GPIO lines.

The of_mdiobus_register() function is modified so that the device tree node is recorded in the mii_bus. Then we can find it again by iterating over all mdio_bus_class devices. Because the OF device tree has now become an integral part of the kernel, this can live in mdio_bus.c (which contains the needed mdio_bus_class structure) instead of of_mdio.c.

Implementing the advanced early retransmit (sysctl_tcp_early_retrans==2). Delays the fast retransmit by an interval of RTT/4. We borrow the RTO timer to implement the delay. If we receive another ACK or send a new packet, the timer is cancelled and restored to original RTO value offset by time elapsed.

2012-05-03tcp: early retransmitYuchung Cheng
This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP. It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout. While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection after the first reordering event. A large scale web server experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”, IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if people think it's a good idea. ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans: 0: Disables ER 1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4. 2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay entering fast recovery by RTT/4. Note: mode 2 is implemented in the third part of this patch series.

2012-05-01l2tp: introduce L2TPv3 IP encapsulation support for IPv6Chris Elston
L2TPv3 defines an IP encapsulation packet format where data is carried directly over IP (no UDP). The kernel already has support for L2TP IP encapsulation over IPv4 (l2tp_ip). This patch introduces support for L2TP IP encapsulation over IPv6. The implementation is derived from ipv6/raw and ipv4/l2tp_ip.

2012-05-01net: make GRO aware of skb->head_fragEric Dumazet
GRO can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a page fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area. We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself This avoids the frag_list fallback, and permits to build true GRO skb (one sk_buff and up to 16 fragments), using less memory. This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copy, since a single sk_buff is fetched. This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment" Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Cc: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Cc: Matt Carlson <mcarlson@broadcom.com> Cc: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-05-01net: allow skb->head to be a page fragmentEric Dumazet
skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if needed. We have three spots were it hurts : 1) GRO aggregation When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network stack aren't enabling full GRO power. 2) splice(socket -> pipe). We must copy the linear part to a page fragment. This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim) 3) TCP coalescing. Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory, and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be too slow) Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag, skb->head_frag to carry this information. build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero value, set to the fragment size. Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself, we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various fallbacks we have. This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear part, no need to copy data.
