2011-11-14ipv6: reduce percpu needs for icmpv6msg mibsEric Dumazet
Reading /proc/net/snmp6 on a machine with a lot of cpus is very expensive (can be ~88000 us). This is because ICMPV6MSG MIB uses 4096 bytes per cpu, and folding values for all possible cpus can read 16 Mbytes of memory (32MBytes on non x86 arches) ICMP messages are not considered as fast path on a typical server, and eventually few cpus handle them anyway. We can afford an atomic operation instead of using percpu data. This saves 4096 bytes per cpu and per network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-11-14rds: drop "select LLIST"Paul Bolle
Commit 1bc144b625 ("net, rds, Replace xlist in net/rds/xlist.h with llist") added "select LLIST" to the RDS_RDMA Kconfig entry. But there is no Kconfig symbol named LLIST. The select statement for that symbol is a nop. Drop it. lib/llist.o is builtin, so all that's needed to use the llist functionality is to include linux/llist.h, which this commit also did.

2011-11-14net/packet: remove dead code and unneeded variable from ↵Jesper Juhl
prb_setup_retire_blk_timer() We test for 'tx_ring' being != zero and BUG() if that's the case. So after that check there is no way that 'tx_ring' could be anything _but_ zero, so testing it again is just dead code. Once that dead code is removed, the 'pkc' local variable becomes entirely redundant, so remove that as well. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-11-12ah: Don't return NET_XMIT_DROP on input.Nick Bowler
When the ahash driver returns -EBUSY, AH4/6 input functions return NET_XMIT_DROP, presumably copied from the output code path. But returning transmit codes on input doesn't make a lot of sense. Since NET_XMIT_DROP is a positive int, this gets interpreted as the next header type (i.e., success). As that can only end badly, remove the check.

John reported the following warning: net/wireless/nl80211.c: In function ‘nl80211_tx_mgmt’: net/wireless/nl80211.c:5286:8: warning: ‘hdr’ may be used uninitialized in this function Evidently, his version of gcc isn't able to see that when "msg" is initialized, "hdr" must also be. My gcc, 4.6.1, can actually see that and doesn't warn. Simply initialize the variable to NULL. That means if the compiler was ever right we'll crash though so isn't really optimal since it may hide warnings from the compiler when somebody modifies this code in the future.

2011-11-11cfg80211: merge in beacon ies of hidden bss.Dmitry Tarnyagin
The problem with PSM when a hidden SSID was used was originally reported by Juuso Oikarinen. - When generally scanning, the AP is getting a bss entry with a zero SSID. - When associating, a probe-req is sent to the AP with the SSID, and as a result a probe-response is received with the hidden SSID in place. As a consequence, a second bss entry is created for the AP, now with the real SSID. - After association, mac80211 executes ieee80211_recalc_ps(), but does not switch to powersave because the beacon-ies are missing. As result, the STA does not ever enter PSM. The patch merges in beacon ies of hidden bss from beacon to the probe response, creating a consistent set of ies in place. Patch is depended on "cfg80211: fix cmp_ies" made by Johannes. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Tarnyagin <dmitry.tarnyagin@stericsson.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

[PATCH net-next] ipv4: IP_PKTINFO doesnt need dst reference When a socket uses IP_PKTINFO notifications, we currently force a dst reference for each received skb. Reader has to access dst to get needed information (rt_iif & rt_spec_dst) and must release dst reference. We also forced a dst reference if skb was put in socket backlog, even without IP_PKTINFO handling. This happens under stress/load. We can instead store the needed information in skb->cb[], so that only softirq handler really access dst, improving cache hit ratios. This removes two atomic operations per packet, and false sharing as well. On a benchmark using a mono threaded receiver (doing only recvmsg() calls), I can reach 720.000 pps instead of 570.000 pps. IP_PKTINFO is typically used by DNS servers, and any multihomed aware UDP application. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-11-09net: add wireless TX status socket optionJohannes Berg
The 802.1X EAPOL handshake hostapd does requires knowing whether the frame was ack'ed by the peer. Currently, we fudge this pretty badly by not even transmitting the frame as a normal data frame but injecting it with radiotap and getting the status out of radiotap monitor as well. This is rather complex, confuses users (mon.wlan0 presence) and doesn't work with all hardware. To get rid of that hack, introduce a real wifi TX status option for data frame transmissions. This works similar to the existing TX timestamping in that it reflects the SKB back to the socket's error queue with a SCM_WIFI_STATUS cmsg that has an int indicating ACK status (0/1). Since it is possible that at some point we will want to have TX timestamping and wifi status in a single errqueue SKB (there's little point in not doing that), redefine SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING to SO_EE_ORIGIN_TXSTATUS which can collect more than just the timestamp; keep the old constant as an alias of course. Currently the internal APIs don't make that possible, but it wouldn't be hard to split them up in a way that makes it possible. Thanks to Neil Horman for helping me figure out the functions that add the control messages. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
