Add a operations structure that allows a network interface to export the fact that it supports package forwarding in hardware between physical interfaces and other mac layer devices assigned to it (such as macvlans). This operaions structure can be used by virtual mac devices to bypass software switching so that forwarding can be done in hardware more efficiently.

Provide a method for read-only access to the vlan device egress mapping. Do this by refactoring vlan_dev_get_egress_qos_mask() such that now it receives as an argument the skb priority instead of pointer to the skb. Such an access is needed for the IBoE stack where the control plane goes through the network stack. This is an add-on step on top of commit d4a96865 "net/route: export symbol ip_tos2prio" which allowed the RDMA-CM to use ip_tos2prio.

If appending a received fragment to the pending fragment chain in a unicast link fails, the current code tries to force a retransmission of the fragment by decrementing the 'next received sequence number' field in the link. This is done under the assumption that the failure is caused by an out-of-memory situation, an assumption that does not hold true after the previous patch in this series. A failure to append a fragment can now only be caused by a protocol violation by the sending peer, and it must hence be assumed that it is either malicious or buggy. Either way, the correct behavior is now to reset the link instead of trying to revert its sequence number. So, this is what we do in this commit.

由 Erik Hugne 提交于
When the first fragment of a long data data message is received on a link, a reassembly buffer large enough to hold the data from this and all subsequent fragments of the message is allocated. The payload of each new fragment is copied into this buffer upon arrival. When the last fragment is received, the reassembled message is delivered upwards to the port/socket layer. Not only is this an inefficient approach, but it may also cause bursts of reassembly failures in low memory situations. since we may fail to allocate the necessary large buffer in the first place. Furthermore, after 100 subsequent such failures the link will be reset, something that in reality aggravates the situation. To remedy this problem, this patch introduces a different approach. Instead of allocating a big reassembly buffer, we now append the arriving fragments to a reassembly chain on the link, and deliver the whole chain up to the socket layer once the last fragment has been received. This is safe because the retransmission layer of a TIPC link always delivers packets in strict uninterrupted order, to the reassembly layer as to all other upper layers. Hence there can never be more than one fragment chain pending reassembly at any given time in a link, and we can trust (but still verify) that the fragments will be chained up in the correct order.

由 Erik Hugne 提交于
When a message fragment is received in a broadcast or unicast link, the reception code will append the fragment payload to a big reassembly buffer through a call to the function tipc_recv_fragm(). However, after the return of that call, the logics goes on and passes the fragment buffer to the function tipc_net_route_msg(), which will simply drop it. This behavior is a remnant from the now obsolete multi-cluster functionality, and has no relevance in the current code base. Although currently harmless, this unnecessary call would be fatal after applying the next patch in this series, which introduces a completely new reassembly algorithm. So we change the code to eliminate the redundant call.

We used to use a percpu structure vq_index to record the cpu to queue mapping, this is suboptimal since it duplicates the work of XPS and loses all other XPS functionality such as allowing user to configure their own transmission steering strategy. So this patch switches to use XPS and suggest a default mapping when the number of cpus is equal to the number of queues. With XPS support, there's no need for keeping per-cpu vq_index and .ndo_select_queue(), so they were removed also. Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michael S.

Commit 1e2bd517 ("udp6: Fix udp fragmentation for tunnel traffic.") changed the calculation if there is enough space to include a fragment header in the skb from a skb->mac_header dervived one to skb_headroom. Because we already peeled off the skb to transport_header this is wrong. Change this back to check if we have enough room before the mac_header. This fixes a panic Saran Neti reported. He used the tbf scheduler which skb_gso_segments the skb. The offsets get negative and we panic in memcpy because the skb was erroneously not expanded at the head.

Sockets marked with IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE won't do path mtu discovery, their sockets won't accept and install new path mtu information and they will always use the interface mtu for outgoing packets. It is guaranteed that the packet is not fragmented locally. But we won't set the DF-Flag on the outgoing frames. Florian Weimer had the idea to use this flag to ensure DNS servers are never generating outgoing fragments. They may well be fragmented on the path, but the server never stores or usees path mtu values, which could well be forged in an attack. (The root of the problem with path MTU discovery is that there is no reliable way to authenticate ICMP Fragmentation Needed But DF Set messages because they are sent from intermediate routers with their source addresses, and the IMCP payload will not always contain sufficient information to identify a flow.) Recent research in the DNS community showed that it is possible to implement an attack where DNS cache poisoning is feasible by spoofing fragments. This work was done by Amir Herzberg and Haya Shulman: <https://sites.google.com/site/hayashulman/files/fragmentation-poisoning.pdf> This issue was previously discussed among the DNS community, e.g. <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/current/msg01204.html>, without leading to fixes. This patch depends on the patch "ipv4: fix DO and PROBE pmtu mode regarding local fragmentation with UFO/CORK" for the enforcement of the non-fragmentable checks. If other users than ip_append_page/data should use this semantic too, we have to add a new flag to IPCB(skb)->flags to suppress local fragmentation and check for this in ip_finish_output.

Bjørn Mork says: ==================== The huawei_cdc_ncm driver. Enrico has been kind enough to let me repost his driver with the changes requested by Oliver Neukum during the last review of this series. The changes I have made from Enricos original v5 series to this version are: v6: - fix to avoid corrupting drvstate->pmcount - fix error return value from huawei_cdc_ncm_suspend() - drop redundant testing for subdriver->suspend during resume - broke a few lines to keep within the 80 columns recommendation - rebased on top of current net-next Enrico's orginal introduction to the v5 series follows below. It explains the background much better than I can. Bjørn [quote Enrico Mioso] So this is a new, revised, edition of the huawei_cdc_ncm.c driver, which supports devices resembling the NCM standard, but using it also as a mean to encapsulate other protocols, as is the case for the Huawei E3131 and E3251 modem devices. Some precisations are needed however - and I encourage discussion on this: and that's why I'm sending this message with a broader CC. Merging those patches might change: - the way Modem Manager interacts with those devices - some regressions might be possible if there are some unknown firmware variants around (Franko?) First of all: I observed the behaviours of two devices. Huawei E3131: this device doesn't accept NDIS setup requests unless they're sent via the embedded AT channel exposed by this driver. So actually we gain funcionality in this case! The second case, is the Huawei E3251: which works with standard NCM driver, still exposing an AT embedded channel. Whith this patch set applied, you gain some funcionality, loosing the ability to catch standard NCM events for now. The device will work in both ways with no problems, but this has to be acknowledged and discussed. Might be we can develop this driver further to change this, when more devices are tested. We where thinking Huawei changed their interfaces on new devices - but probably this driver only works around a nice firmware bug present in E3131, which prevented the modem from being used in NDIS mode. I think committing this is definitely wortth-while, since it will allow for more Huawei devices to be used without serial connection. Some devices like the E3251 also, reports some status information only via the embedded AT channel, at least in my case. Note: I'm not subscribed to any list except the Modem Manager's one, so please CC me, thanks!!

John W. Linville says: ==================== Please accept the following pull request intended for the 3.13 tree... I had intended to pass most of these to you as much as two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I failed to account for the effects of bad Internet connections and my own fatique/laziness while traveling. On the bright side, at least these have been baking in linux-next for some time! For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This time I have two fixes for P2P (which requires not using CCK rates) and a workaround for APs with broken WMM information." For the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says: "I have a few fixes for warnings/issues: one from Alex, fixing scan timings, one from Emmanuel fixing a WARN_ON in the DVM driver, one from Stanislaw removing a trigger-happy WARN_ON in the MVM driver and a change from myself to try to recover when the device isn't processing commands quickly." And: "For this round, I have a lot of changes: * power management improvements * BT coexistence improvements/updates * new device support * VHT support * IBSS support (though due to a small bug it requires new firmware) * various other fixes/improvements." For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "More patches for 3.12, busy times for Bluetooth. More than a 100 commits since the last pull. The bulk of work comes from Johan and Marcel, they are doing fixes and improvements all over the Bluetooth subsystem, as the diffstat can show." For the ath10k and ath6kl bits, Kalle says: "Bartosz added support to ath10k for our 10.x AP firmware branch, which gives us AP specific features and fixes. We still support the main firmware branch as well just like before, ath10k detects runtime what firmware is used. Unfortunately the firmware interface in 10.x branch is somewhat different so there was quite a lot of changes in ath10k for this. Michal and Sujith did some performance improvements in ath10k. Vladimir fixed a compiler warning and Fengguang removed an extra semicolon." For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "It's a fairly big one, with the following highlights: - NFC digital layer implementation: Most NFC chipsets implement the NFC digital layer in firmware, but others have more basic functionalities and expect the host to implement the digital layer. This layer sits below the NFC core. - Sony's port100 support: This is "soft" NFC USB dongle that expects the digital layer to be implemented on the host. This is the first user of our NFC digital stack implementation. - Secure element API: We now provide a netlink API for enabling, disabling and discovering NFC attached (embedded or UICC ones) secure elements. With some userspace help, this allows us to support NFC payments. Only the pn544 driver currently supports that API. - NCI SPI fixes and improvements: In order to support NCI devices over SPI, we fixed and improved our NCI/SPI implementation. The currently most deployed NFC NCI chipset, Broadcom's bcm2079x, supports that mode and we're planning to use our NCI/SPI framework to implement a driver for it. - pn533 fragmentation support in target mode: This was the only missing feature from our pn533 impementation. We now support fragmentation in both Tx and Rx modes, in target mode." On top of all that, brcmfmac and rt2x00 both get the usual flurry of updates. A few other drivers get hit here or there as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

As described in commit 5a581b36 (jiffies: Avoid undefined behavior from signed overflow), according to the C standard 3.4.3p3, overflow of a signed integer results in undefined behavior. To fix this, do as the above commit, and do an unsigned subtraction, and interpreting the result as a signed two's-complement number. This is based on the theory from RFC 1982 and is nicely described in wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_number_arithmetic#General_Solution A side-note, I have seen practical issues with the previous logic when dealing with 16-bit, on a 64-bit machine (gcc version 4.4.5). This were 32-bit, which I have not observed issues with. Cc: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NJesper Dangaard Brouer <netoptimizer@brouer.com> Acked-by: NPaul E.

Marc Kleine-Budde says: ==================== here's a pull request for net-next. It includes a patch by Oliver Hartkopp et al. that adds documentation for the broadcast manager to Documentation/networking/can.txt. Three patches by me that clean up the netlink handling code in the CAN core. And another patch that removes a not needed function from the ti_hecc driver. ==================== Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets, regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK, GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1) to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase. In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start (LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow start (hystart) enabled by default.
