2015-04-24mac80211: enable hash table shrinkingJohannes Berg
The hashtable behaviour change was merged into the tree at about the same time as the mac80211 use of rhashtable, but of course these don't really conflict in the normal sense. Enable hash table shrinking now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-04-23mac80211: fix rhashtable conversionJohannes Berg
My conversion of the mac80211 station hash table to rhashtable completely broke the lookup in sta_info_get() as it no longer took into account the virtual interface. Fix that. Fixes: 7bedd0cfad4e1 ("mac80211: use rhashtable for station table") Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-04-20mac80211: don't warn when stopping VLAN with stationsJohannes Berg
Stations assigned to an AP_VLAN type interface are flushed when the interface is stopped, but then we warn about it. Suppress the warning since there's nothing else that would ensure those stations are already removed at this point.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Add BQL support to via-rhine, from Tino Reichardt. 2) Integrate SWITCHDEV layer support into the DSA layer, so DSA drivers can support hw switch offloading. From Floria Fainelli. 3) Allow 'ip address' commands to initiate multicast group join/leave, from Madhu Challa. 4) Many ipv4 FIB lookup optimizations from Alexander Duyck. 5) Support EBPF in cls_bpf classifier and act_bpf action, from Daniel Borkmann. 6) Remove the ugly compat support in ARP for ugly layers like ax25, rose, etc. And use this to clean up the neigh layer, then use it to implement MPLS support. All from Eric Biederman. 7) Support L3 forwarding offloading in switches, from Scott Feldman. 8) Collapse the LOCAL and MAIN ipv4 FIB tables when possible, to speed up route lookups even further. From Alexander Duyck. 9) Many improvements and bug fixes to the rhashtable implementation, from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf. In particular, in the case where an rhashtable user bulk adds a large number of items into an empty table, we expand the table much more sanely. 10) Don't make the tcp_metrics hash table per-namespace, from Eric Biederman. 11) Extend EBPF to access SKB fields, from Alexei Starovoitov. 12) Split out new connection request sockets so that they can be established in the main hash table. Much less false sharing since hash lookups go direct to the request sockets instead of having to go first to the listener then to the request socks hashed underneath. From Eric Dumazet. 13) Add async I/O support for crytpo AF_ALG sockets, from Tadeusz Struk. 14) Support stable privacy address generation for RFC7217 in IPV6. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 15) Hash network namespace into IP frag IDs, also from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 16) Convert PTP get/set methods to use 64-bit time, from Richard Cochran. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1816 commits) fm10k: Bump driver version to 0.15.2 fm10k: corrected VF multicast update fm10k: mbx_update_max_size does not drop all oversized messages fm10k: reset head instead of calling update_max_size fm10k: renamed mbx_tx_dropped to mbx_tx_oversized fm10k: update xcast mode before synchronizing multicast addresses fm10k: start service timer on probe fm10k: fix function header comment fm10k: comment next_vf_mbx flow fm10k: don't handle mailbox events in iov_event path and always process mailbox fm10k: use separate workqueue for fm10k driver fm10k: Set PF queues to unlimited bandwidth during virtualization fm10k: expose tx_timeout_count as an ethtool stat fm10k: only increment tx_timeout_count in Tx hang path fm10k: remove extraneous "Reset interface" message fm10k: separate PF only stats so that VF does not display them fm10k: use hw->mac.max_queues for stats fm10k: only show actual queues, not the maximum in hardware fm10k: allow creation of VLAN on default vid fm10k: fix unused warnings ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints. Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that user space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data and express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT() macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values by the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the format file, and this makes it useless for user space tools. The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings in the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is shown to user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently has this in its format file: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" }, { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" }) After adding: TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN); Its format file will contain this: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 0, "flush on task switch" }, { 1, "remote shootdown" }, { 2, "local shootdown" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" })" * tag 'trace-v4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (27 commits) tracing: Add enum_map file to show enums that have been mapped writeback: Export enums used by tracepoint to user space v4l: Export enums used by tracepoints to user space SUNRPC: Export enums in tracepoints to user space mm: tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to user space irq/tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to user space f2fs: Export the enums in the tracepoints to userspace net/9p/tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to userspace x86/tlb/trace: Export enums in used by tlb_flush tracepoint tracing/samples: Update the trace-event-sample.h with TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() tracing: Allow for modules to convert their enums to values tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their values tracing: Update trace-event-sample with TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR documentation tracing: Give system name a pointer brcmsmac: Move each system tracepoints to their own header iwlwifi: Move each system tracepoints to their own header mac80211: Move message tracepoints to their own header tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to xhci-hcd tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to kvm-s390 tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to intel-sst ...

2015-04-07mac80211: Move message tracepoints to their own headerSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Every tracing file must have its own TRACE_SYSTEM defined.

2015-04-01mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementationFelix Fietkau
This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs. The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver - queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue management later without changing drivers using this code. This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

2015-04-01mac80211: fix RX A-MPDU session reorder timer deletionJohannes Berg
There's an issue with the way the RX A-MPDU reorder timer is deleted that can cause a kernel crash like this: * tid_rx is removed - call_rcu(ieee80211_free_tid_rx) * station is destroyed * reorder timer fires before ieee80211_free_tid_rx() runs, accessing the station, thus potentially crashing due to the use-after-free The station deletion is protected by synchronize_net(), but that isn't enough -- ieee80211_free_tid_rx() need not have run when that returns (it deletes the timer.) We could use rcu_barrier() instead of synchronize_net(), but that's much more expensive. Instead, to fix this, add a field tracking that the session is being deleted. In this case, the only re-arming of the timer happens with the reorder spinlock held, so make that code not rearm it if the session is being deleted and also delete the timer after setting that field. This ensures the timer cannot fire after ___ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session() returns, which fixes the problem. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2015-04-01mac80211: use rhashtable for station tableJohannes Berg
We currently have a hand-rolled table with 256 entries and are using the last byte of the MAC address as the hash. This hash is obviously very fast, but collisions are easily created and we waste a lot of space in the common case of just connecting as a client to an AP where we just have a single station. The other common case of an AP is also suboptimal due to the size of the hash table and the ease of causing collisions. Convert all of this to use rhashtable with jhash, which gives us the advantage of a far better hash function (with random perturbation to avoid hash collision attacks) and of course that the hash table grows and shrinks dynamically with chain length, improving both cases above. Use a specialised hash function (using jhash, but with fixed length) to achieve better compiler optimisation as suggested by Sergey Ryazanov. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2015-03-30mac80211: reject aggregation sessions with non-HT peersJohannes Berg
If a peer or some local agent (rate control, ...) decides to start an aggregation session but doesn't support HT (which also implies QoS), reject it. This is mostly a corner case as such peers normally won't try to use block-ack sessions and rate control wouldn't start them, but technically QoS stations could request it according to the spec. However, since drivers don't really support such non-HT sessions it's better to reject them. Also, while at it, move the tracing for TX sessions earlier so it captures the error cases as well.

For now add only the current regulatory class as supported - it is enough to resolve the compatibility issue.

2015-03-30mac80211: stop scan before connectionDavid Spinadel
Stop scan before authentication or association to make sure that nothing interferes with connection flow. Currently mac80211 defers RX auth and assoc packets (among other ones) until after the scan is complete, so auth during scan is likely to fail if scan took too much time.

2015-03-30mac80211: convert rssi_callback() to event_callback()Emmanuel Grumbach
We will be able to add more events, such as MLME events and others. The low level driver may be interested in knowing about these events to dump firmware data upon failures, or to change parameters in case connection attempts fail etc...

2015-03-30mac80211: agg-tx: avoid sending DelBA with sta->lock heldJohannes Berg
The rate control locking caused a potential deadlock here due to the locks being acquired in different orders, so that change cannot yet be applied. However, there's no fundamental reason for this code to hold the sta->lock while transmitting frames. Clearly it's better not to hold the lock for longer periods of time, which can happen here since we call all the way down to the driver. Change the code a bit to not hold it while doing that.

2015-03-20Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/netDavid S. Miller
Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c net/core/sysctl_net_core.c net/ipv4/inet_diag.c The be_main.c conflict resolution was really tricky. The conflict hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least. It split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being be_map_pci_bars(). So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since the last time I merged. And this worked beautifully. The inet_diag.c and sysctl_net_core.c conflicts were simple overlapping changes, and were easily to resolve. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-03-20mac80211: avoid duplicate TX path station lookupJohannes Berg
Instead of looking up the destination station twice in the TX path (first to build the header, and then for control processing), save it when building the header and use it later in the TX path. To avoid having to look up the station in the many callers, allow those to pass %NULL which keeps the existing lookup. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-03-20mac80211: mesh: avoid pointless station lookupJohannes Berg
In ieee80211_build_hdr(), the station is looked up to build the header correctly (QoS field) and to check for authorization. For mesh, authorization isn't checked here, and QoS capability is mandatory, so the station lookup can be avoided. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-03-20mac80211: drop 4-addr VLAN frames earlier if not connectedJohannes Berg
If there's no station on the 4-addr VLAN interface, then frames cannot be transmitted. Drop such frames earlier, before setting up all the information for them. We should keep the old check though since that code might be used for other internally-generated frames. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-03-20mac80211: don't look up destination station twiceJohannes Berg
There's no need to look up the destination station twice while building the 802.11 header for a given frame if the frame will actually be transmitted to the station we initially looked up. This happens for 4-addr VLAN interfaces and TDLS connections, which both directly send the frame to the station they looked up, though in the case of TDLS some station conditions need to be checked. To avoid that, add a variable indicating that we've looked up the station that the frame is going to be transmitted to, and avoid the lookup/flag checking if it already has been done. In the TDLS case, also move the authorized/wme_sta flag assignment to the correct place, i.e. only when that station is really used. Before this change, the new lookup should always have succeeded so that the potentially erroneous data would be overwritten. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-03-20mac80211: remove drop_unencrypted codeJohannes Berg
This mechanism was historic, and only ever used by IBSS, which also doesn't need to have it as it properly manages station's 802.1X PAE state (or, with WEP, always has a key.) Remove the mechanism to clean up the code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
