      if_link: Add additional parameter to IFLA_VF_INFO for spoof checking · 5f8444a3
      Greg Rose 提交于
      Add configuration setting for drivers to turn spoof checking on or off
      for discrete VFs.
      
      v2 - Fix indentation problem, wrap the ifla_vf_info structure in
           #ifdef __KERNEL__ to prevent user space from accessing and
           change function paramater for the spoof check setting netdev
           op from u8 to bool.
      v3 - Preset spoof check setting to -1 so that user space tools such
           as ip can detect that the driver didn't report a spoofcheck
           setting.  Prevents incorrect display of spoof check settings
           for drivers that don't report it.

      net: more accurate skb truesize · 87fb4b7b
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head.
      kmalloc() roundings are also ignored.
      
      Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to
      take it into account for better memory accounting.
      
      This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various
      assumptions into a single place.
      
      At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of
      skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of
      reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks.
      
      Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are
      aligned to cache lines, as before.
      
      Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of
      misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory
      limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a
      more accurate memory accounting.

      With the addition of uAPSD and driver buffering

      mac80211: allow out-of-band EOSP notification · 37fbd908
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      iwlwifi has a separate EOSP notification from
      the device, and to make use of that properly
      it needs to be passed to mac80211. To be able
      to mix with tx_status_irqsafe and rx_irqsafe
      it also needs to be an "_irqsafe" version in
      the sense that it goes through the tasklet,
      the actual flag clearing would be IRQ-safe
      but doing it directly would cause reordering
      issues.
      
      This is needed in the case of a P2P GO going
      into an absence period without transmitting
      any frames that should be driver-released as
      in this case there's no other way to inform
      mac80211 that the service period ended. Note
      that for drivers that don't use the _irqsafe
      functions another version of this function
      will be required.

      mac80211: explicitly notify drivers of frame release · 40b96408
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      iwlwifi needs to know the number of frames that are
      going to be sent to a station while it is asleep so
      it can properly handle the uCode blocking of that
      station.
      
      Before uAPSD, we got by by telling the device that
      a single frame was going to be released whenever we
      encountered IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE. With
      uAPSD, however, that is no longer possible since
      there could be more than a single frame.
      
      To support this model, add a new callback to notify
      drivers when frames are going to be released.

      mac80211: reply only once to each PS-poll · deeaee19
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If a PS-poll frame is retried (but was received)
      there is no way to detect that since it has no
      sequence number. As a consequence, the standard
      asks us to not react to PS-poll frames until the
      response to one made it out (was ACKed or lost).
      
      Implement this by using the WLAN_STA_SP flags to
      also indicate a PS-Poll "service period" and the
      IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag for the response
      packet to indicate the end of the "SP" as usual.
      
      We could use separate flags, but that will most
      likely completely confuse drivers, and while the
      standard doesn't exclude simultaneously polling
      using uAPSD and PS-Poll, doing that seems quite
      problematic.

      mac80211: implement uAPSD · 47086fc5
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Add uAPSD support to mac80211. This is probably not
      possible with all devices, so advertising it with
      the cfg80211 flag will be left up to drivers that
      want it.
      
      Due to my previous patches it is now a fairly
      straight-forward extension. Drivers need to have
      accurate TX status reporting for the EOSP frame.
      For drivers that buffer themselves, the provided
      APIs allow releasing the right number of frames,
      but then drivers need to set EOSP and more-data
      themselves. This is documented in more detail in
      the new code itself.

      mac80211: allow releasing driver-buffered frames · 4049e09a
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If there are frames for a station buffered in
      the driver, mac80211 announces those in the TIM
      IE but there's no way to release them. Add new
      API to release such frames and use it when the
      station polls for a frame.
      
      Since the API will soon also be used for uAPSD
      it is easily extensible.
      
      Note that before this change drivers announcing
      driver-buffered frames in the TIM bit actually
      will respond to a PS-Poll with a potentially
      lower priority frame (if there are any frames
      buffered in mac80211), after this patch a driver
      that hasn't been changed will no longer respond
      at all. This only affects ath9k, which will need
      to be fixed to implement the new API.

      mac80211: split PS buffers into ACs · 948d887d
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      For uAPSD support we'll need to have per-AC PS
      buffers. As this is a major undertaking, split
      the buffers before really adding support for
      uAPSD. This already makes some reference to the
      uapsd_queues variable, but for now that will
      never be non-zero.
      
      Since book-keeping is complicated, also change
      the logic for keeping a maximum of frames only
      and allow 64 frames per AC (up from 128 for a
      station).
