git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next John W. Linville says: ==================== Please accept this batch of updates intended for the 3.12 stream. For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says this: "This time I have various improvements all over the place: IBSS, mesh, testmode, AP client powersave handling, one of the rare rfkill patches and some code cleanup." Also for mac80211: "And I also have some more changes for -next, just a few small fixes and improvements, nothing really stands out." And for iwlwifi: "This time I have some powersave work (notably uAPSD support), CQM offloads, support for a new firmware API and various code cleanups." Regarding the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "Patches to 3.12, here we have: * implementation of a proper tty_port for RFCOMM devices, this fixes some issues people were seeing lately in the kernel. * Add voice_setting option for SCO, it is used for SCO Codec selection * bugfixes, small improvements and clean ups" For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "With this one we have: - A few pn533 improvements and minor fixes. Testing our pn533 driver against Google's NCI stack triggered a few issues that we fixed now. We also added Tx fragmentation support to this driver. - More NFC secure element handling. We added a GET_SE netlink command for getting all the discovered secure elements, and we defined 2 additional secure element netlink event (transaction and connectivity). We also fixed a couple of typos and copy-paste bugs from the secure element handling code. - Firmware download support for the pn544 driver. This chipset can enter a special mode where it's waiting for firmware blobs to replace the already flashed one. We now support that mode." With repect to the ath tree, Kalle says: "New features in ath10k are rx/tx checsumming in hw and survey scan implemented by Michal. Also he made fixes to different areas of the driver, most notable being fixing the case when using two streams and reducing the number of interface combinations to avoid firmware crashes. Bartosz did a clean related to how we handle SoC power save in PCI layer. For ath6kl Mohammed and Vasanth sent each a patch to fix two infrequent crashes." I also pulled the wireless tree into wireless-next to support a request from Johannes. On top of all that, there are the usual sort of driver updates. The mwifiex, brcmfmac, brcmsmac, ath9k, and rt2x00 drivers all get some attention, as does the bcma bus and a few other random bits here and there. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-09-04net: neighbour: Remove CONFIG_ARPDTim Gardner
This config option is superfluous in that it only guards a call to neigh_app_ns(). Enabling CONFIG_ARPD by default has no change in behavior. There will now be call to __neigh_notify() for each ARP resolution, which has no impact unless there is a user space daemon waiting to receive the notification, i.e., the case for which CONFIG_ARPD was designed anyways.

2013-08-31qdisc: allow setting default queuing disciplinestephen hemminger
By default, the pfifo_fast queue discipline has been used by default for all devices. But we have better choices now. This patch allow setting the default queueing discipline with sysctl. This allows easy use of better queueing disciplines on all devices without having to use tc qdisc scripts. It is intended to allow an easy path for distributions to make fq_codel or sfq the default qdisc. This patch also makes pfifo_fast more of a first class qdisc, since it is now possible to manually override the default and explicitly use pfifo_fast. The behavior for systems who do not use the sysctl is unchanged, they still get pfifo_fast Also removes leftover random # in sysctl net core.

2013-08-30tcp: do not use cached RTT for RTT estimationYuchung Cheng
RTT cached in the TCP metrics are valuable for the initial timeout because SYN RTT usually does not account for serialization delays on low BW path. However using it to seed the RTT estimator maybe disruptive because other components (e.g., pacing) require the smooth RTT to be obtained from actual connection. The solution is to use the higher cached RTT to set the first RTO conservatively like tcp_rtt_estimator(), but avoid seeding the other RTT estimator variables such as srtt. It is also a good idea to keep RTO conservative to obtain the first RTT sample, and the performance is insured by TCP loss probe if SYN RTT is available. To keep the seeding formula consistent across SYN RTT and cached RTT, the rttvar is twice the cached RTT instead of cached RTTVAR value. The reason is because cached variation may be too small (near min RTO) which defeats the purpose of being conservative on first RTO. However the metrics still keep the RTT variations as they might be useful for user applications (through ip).

2013-08-30pkt_sched: fq: Fair Queue packet schedulerEric Dumazet
- Uses perfect flow match (not stochastic hash like SFQ/FQ_codel) - Uses the new_flow/old_flow separation from FQ_codel - New flows get an initial credit allowing IW10 without added delay. - Special FIFO queue for high prio packets (no need for PRIO + FQ) - Uses a hash table of RB trees to locate the flows at enqueue() time - Smart on demand gc (at enqueue() time, RB tree lookup evicts old unused flows) - Dynamic memory allocations. - Designed to allow millions of concurrent flows per Qdisc. - Small memory footprint : ~8K per Qdisc, and 104 bytes per flow. - Single high resolution timer for throttled flows (if any). - One RB tree to link throttled flows. - Ability to have a max rate per flow. We might add a socket option to add per socket limitation. Attempts have been made to add TCP pacing in TCP stack, but this seems to add complex code to an already complex stack. TCP pacing is welcomed for flows having idle times, as the cwnd permits TCP stack to queue a possibly large number of packets. This removes the 'slow start after idle' choice, hitting badly large BDP flows, and applications delivering chunks of data as video streams.

2013-08-29net: add lower_dev_list to net_device and make a full meshVeaceslav Falico
This patch adds lower_dev_list list_head to net_device, which is the same as upper_dev_list, only for lower devices, and begins to use it in the same way as the upper list. It also changes the way the whole adjacent device lists work - now they contain *all* of upper/lower devices, not only the first level. The first level devices are distinguished by the bool neighbour field in netdev_adjacent, also added by this patch. There are cases when a device can be added several times to the adjacent list, the simplest would be: /---- eth0.10 ---\ eth0- --- bond0 \---- eth0.20 ---/ where both bond0 and eth0 'see' each other in the adjacent lists two times. To avoid duplication of netdev_adjacent structures ref_nr is being kept as the number of times the device was added to the list. The 'full view' is achieved by adding, on link creation, all of the upper_dev's upper_dev_list devices as upper devices to all of the lower_dev's lower_dev_list devices (and to the lower_dev itself), and vice versa. On unlink they are removed using the same logic. I've tested it with thousands vlans/bonds/bridges, everything works ok and no observable lags even on a huge number of interfaces. Memory footprint for 128 devices interconnected with each other via both upper and lower (which is impossible, but for the comparison) lists would be: 128*128*2*sizeof(netdev_adjacent) = 1.5MB but in the real world we usualy have at most several devices with slaves and a lot of vlans, so the footprint will be much lower.

2013-08-29tcp: TSO packets automatic sizingEric Dumazet
After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO packets. One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the buffering amount. This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so that we try to send one packet every ms. This field could be set by other transports. Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets makes sense to reach line rate. For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking. This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments. A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2). A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing. This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up. sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Van Jacobson <vanj@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
