      net: Avoid enqueuing skb for default qdiscs · bbd8a0d3
      Krishna Kumar 提交于
      dev_queue_xmit enqueue's a skb and calls qdisc_run which
      dequeue's the skb and xmits it. In most cases, the skb that
      is enqueue'd is the same one that is dequeue'd (unless the
      queue gets stopped or multiple cpu's write to the same queue
      and ends in a race with qdisc_run). For default qdiscs, we
      can remove the redundant enqueue/dequeue and simply xmit the
      skb since the default qdisc is work-conserving.
      
      The patch uses a new flag - TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS to identify the
      default fast queue. The controversial part of the patch is
      incrementing qlen when a skb is requeued - this is to avoid
      checks like the second line below:
      
      +  } else if ((q->flags & TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS) && !qdisc_qlen(q) &&
      >>         !q->gso_skb &&
      +          !test_and_set_bit(__QDISC_STATE_RUNNING, &q->state)) {

      mac80211: FIF_PSPOLL filter flag · e3b90ca2
      Igor Perminov 提交于
      When an interface is configured in the AP mode, the mac80211
      implementation doesn't inform the driver to receive PS Poll frames.
      It leads to inability to communicate with power-saving stations
      reliably.
      The FIF_CONTROL flag isn't passed by mac80211 to
      ieee80211_ops.configure_filter when an interface is in the AP mode.
      And it's ok, because we don't want to receive ACK frames and other
      control ones, but only PS Poll ones.
      
      This patch introduces the FIF_PSPOLL filter flag in addition to
      FIF_CONTROL, which means for the driver "pass PS Poll frames".
      
      This flag is passed to the driver:
      A) When an interface is configured in the AP mode.
      B) In all cases, when the FIF_CONTROL flag was passed earlier (in
      addition to it).

      cfg80211: enable country IE support to all cfg80211 drivers · 8b19e6ca
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      Since the bss is always set now once we are connected, if the
      bss has its own information element we refer to it and pass that
      instead of relying on mac80211's parsing.
      
      Now all cfg80211 drivers get country IE support, automatically and
      we reduce the call overhead that we had on mac80211 which called this
      upon every beacon and instead now call this only upon a successfull
      connection by a STA on cfg80211.

      mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue · 42935eca
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
      to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
      takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
      really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
      the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
      
      We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
      be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
      the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
      to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
      
        * ieee80211_queue_work()
        * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
      
      These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
      suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
      flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
      but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
      work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
      someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
      suspend cycle.
      
      Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
      in the mac80211 stop() callback.

      cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming feature · 37184244
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6:
      
      "cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint"
      
      We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly
      stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked
      up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions
      on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable.
      
      By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices
      registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains
      enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
      The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would
      never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did
      support such enhancements when world roaming.
      
      Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to
      allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow
      drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them.
      
      We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default
      enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift
      passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from
      an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz
      band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed
      world wide.
      
      This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby
      improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP,
      and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which
      would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom
      regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected
      by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared
      upon wiphy registration.
      
      I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card.

      bluetooth: rfcomm_init bug fix · af0d3b10

      rfcomm tty may be used before rfcomm_tty_driver initilized,
      The problem is that now socket layer init before tty layer, if userspace
      program do socket callback right here then oops will happen.
      
      reporting in:
      http://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth&m=124404919324542&w=2
      
      make 3 changes:
      1. remove #ifdef in rfcomm/core.c,
      make it blank function when rfcomm tty not selected in rfcomm.h
      
      2. tune the rfcomm_init error patch to ensure
      tty driver initilized before rfcomm socket usage.
      
      3. remove __exit for rfcomm_cleanup_sockets
      because above change need call it in a __init function.

      neigh: Convert garbage collection from softirq to workqueue · e4c4e448
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Current neigh_periodic_timer() function is fired by timer IRQ, and
      scans one hash bucket each round (very litle work in fact)
      
      As we are supposed to scan whole hash table in 15 seconds, this means
      neigh_periodic_timer() can be fired very often. (depending on the number
      of concurrent hash entries we stored in this table)
      
      Converting this to a workqueue permits scanning whole table, minimizing
      icache pollution, and firing this work every 15 seconds, independantly
      of hash table size.
      
      This 15 seconds delay is not a hard number, as work is a deferrable one.
