2009-11-29sctp: on T3_RTX retransmit all the in-flight chunksAndrei Pelinescu-Onciul
When retransmitting due to T3 timeout, retransmit all the in-flight chunks for the corresponding transport/path, including chunks sent less then 1 rto ago. This is the correct behaviour according to rfc4960 section 6.3.3 E3 and "Note: Any DATA chunks that were sent to the address for which the T3-rtx timer expired but did not fit in one MTU (rule E3 above) should be marked for retransmission and sent as soon as cwnd allows (normally, when a SACK arrives). ". This fixes problems when more then one path is present and the T3 retransmission of the first chunk that timeouts stops the T3 timer for the initial active path, leaving all the other in-flight chunks waiting forever or until a new chunk is transmitted on the same path and timeouts (and this will happen only if the cwnd allows sending new chunks, but since cwnd was dropped to MTU by the timeout => it will wait until the first heartbeat). Example: 10 packets in flight, sent at 0.1 s intervals on the primary path. The primary path is down and the first packet timeouts. The first packet is retransmitted on another path, the T3 timer for the primary path is stopped and cwnd is set to MTU. All the other 9 in-flight packets will not be retransmitted (unless more new packets are sent on the primary path which depend on cwnd allowing it, and even in this case the 9 packets will be retransmitted only after a new packet timeouts which even in the best case would be more then RTO). This commit reverts d0ce92910bc04e107b2f3f2048f07e94f570035d and also removes the now unused transport->last_rto, introduced in b6157d8e03e1e780660a328f7183bcbfa4a93a19. p.s The problem is not only when multiple paths are there. It can happen in a single homed environment. If the application stops sending data, it possible to have a hung association.

2009-11-27vlan: support "loose binding" to the underlying network devicePatrick McHardy
Currently the UP/DOWN state of VLANs is synchronized to the state of the underlying device, meaning all VLANs are set down once the underlying device is set down. This causes all routes to the VLAN devices to vanish. Add a flag to specify a "loose binding" mode, in which only the operstate is transfered, but the VLAN device state is independant.

2009-11-23sctp: prevent too-fast association id reuseVlad Yasevich
We use the idr subsystem and always ask for an id at or above 1. This results in a id reuse when one association is terminated while another is created. To prevent re-use, we keep track of the last id returned and ask for that id + 1 as a base for each query. We let the idr spin lock protect this base id as well.

2009-11-23sctp: fix integer overflow when setting the autoclose timerAndrei Pelinescu-Onciul
When setting the autoclose timeout in jiffies there is a possible integer overflow if the value in seconds is very large (e.g. for 2^22 s with HZ=1024). The problem appears even on 64-bit due to the integer promotion rules. The fix is just a cast to unsigned long.

2009-11-23sctp: Fix mis-ordering of user space data when multihoming in useNeil Horman
Recently had a bug reported to me, in which the user was sending packets with a payload containing a sequence number. The packets were getting delivered in order according the chunk TSN values, but the sequence values in the payload were arriving out of order. At first I thought it must be an application error, but we eventually found it to be a problem on the transmit side in the sctp stack. The conditions for the error are that multihoming must be in use, and it helps if each transport has a different pmtu. The problem occurs in sctp_outq_flush. Basically we dequeue packets from the data queue, and attempt to append them to the orrered packet for a given transport. After we append a data chunk we add the trasport to the end of a list of transports to have their packets sent at the end of sctp_outq_flush. The problem occurs when a data chunks fills up a offered packet on a transport. The function that does the appending (sctp_packet_transmit_chunk), will try to call sctp_packet_transmit on the full packet, and then append the chunk to a new packet. This call to sctp_packet_transmit, sends that packet ahead of the others that may be queued in the transport_list in sctp_outq_flush. The result is that frames that were sent in one order from the user space sending application get re-ordered prior to tsn assignment in sctp_packet_transmit, resulting in mis-sequencing of data payloads, even though tsn ordering is correct. The fix is to change where we assign a tsn. By doing this earlier, we are then free to place chunks in packets, whatever way we see fit and the protocol will make sure to do all the appropriate re-ordering on receive as is needed.

2009-11-23sctp: Update max.burst implementationVlad Yasevich
Current implementation of max.burst ends up limiting new data during cwnd decay period. The decay is happening becuase the connection is idle and we are allowed to fill the congestion window. The point of max.burst is to limit micro-bursts in response to large acks. This still happens, as max.burst is still applied to each transmit opportunity. It will also apply if a very large send is made (greater then allowed by burst).

2009-11-23sctp: Remove useless last_time_used variableVlad Yasevich
The transport last_time_used variable is rather useless. It was only used when determining if CWND needs to be updated due to idle transport. However, idle transport detection was based on a Heartbeat timer and last_time_used was not incremented when sending Heartbeats. As a result the check for cwnd reduction was always true. We can get rid of the variable and just base our cwnd manipulation on the HB timer (like the code comment sais). We also have to call into the cwnd manipulation function regardless of whether HBs are enabled or not. That way we will detect idle transports if the user has disabled Heartbeats.

2009-11-19mac80211: avoid spurious deauth frames/messagesJohannes Berg
With WEXT, it happens frequently that the SME requests an authentication but then deauthenticates right away because some new parameters came along. Every time this happens we print a deauth message and send a deauth frame, but both of that is rather confusing. Avoid it by aborting the authentication process silently, and telling cfg80211 about that. The patch looks larger than it really is: __cfg80211_auth_remove() is split out from cfg80211_send_auth_timeout(), there's no new code except __cfg80211_auth_canceled() (a one-liner) and the mac80211 bits (7 new lines of code).

2009-11-19mac80211: request TX status where neededJohannes Berg
Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only the injected frames need TX status (the latter for hostapd) so move setting this flag. The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but they don't require it. Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and seems to require it being set for all frames, but that can be fixed in rt2x00. This doesn't really change anything for any drivers but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may opt to not report TX status for frames that don't have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set.

2009-11-19cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfacesJohannes Berg
A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface (in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11 networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't help here. The wireless address format used for these links has only space for three addresses, the * transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin) * receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in the case of managed mode * the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local network segment In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient must match and the third address is used as the BSSID. To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a wireless interface to a bridge. Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP and client side that can be used (after negotiating that it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

2009-11-19cfg80211: introduce capability for 4addr modeJohannes Berg
It's very likely that not many devices will support four-address mode in station or AP mode so introduce capability bits for both modes, set them in mac80211 and check them when userspace tries to use the mode. Also, keep track of 4addr in cfg80211 (wireless_dev) and not in mac80211 any more. mac80211 can also be improved for the VLAN case by not looking at the 4addr flag but maintaining the station pointer for it correctly. However, keep track of use_4addr for station mode in mac80211 to avoid all the derefs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-11-19cfg80211: convert bools into flagsJohannes Berg
We've accumulated a number of options for wiphys which make more sense as flags as we keep adding more. Convert the existing ones. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
