      mac80211: stop using pointers as userspace cookies · 3b79af97
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Even if the pointers are really only accessible to root and used
      pretty much only by wpa_supplicant, this is still not great; even
      for debugging it'd be easier to have something that's easier to
      read and guaranteed to never get reused.
      
      With the recent change to make mac80211 create an ack_skb for the
      mgmt-tx path this becomes possible, only the client probe method
      needs to also allocate an ack_skb, and we can store the cookie in
      that skb.

      mac80211: move TX PN to public part of key struct · db388a56
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      For drivers supporting TSO or similar features, but that still have
      PN assignment in software, there's a need to have some memory to
      store the current PN value. As mac80211 already stores this and it's
      somewhat complicated to add a per-driver area to the key struct (due
      to the dynamic sizing thereof) it makes sense to just move the TX PN
      to the keyconf, i.e. the public part of the key struct.
      
      As TKIP is more complicated and we won't able to offload it in this
      way right now (fast-xmit is skipped for TKIP unless the HW does it
      all, and our hardware needs MMIC calculation in software) I've not
      moved that for now - it's possible but requires exposing a lot of
      the internal TKIP state.
      
      As an bonus side effect, we can remove a lot of code by assuming the
      keyseq struct has a certain layout - with BUILD_BUG_ON to verify it.
      
      This might also improve performance, since now TX and RX no longer
      share a cacheline.

      mac80211: allow drivers to support S/G · 680a0dab
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If drivers want to support S/G (really just gather DMA on TX) then
      we can now easily support this on the fast-xmit path since it just
      needs to write to the ethernet header (and already has a check for
      that being possible.)
      
      However, disallow this on the regular TX path (which has to handle
      fragmentation, software crypto, etc.) by calling skb_linearize().
      
      Also allow the related HIGHDMA since that's not interesting to the
      code in mac80211 at all anyway.

      mac80211: add TX fastpath · 17c18bf8
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      In order to speed up mac80211's TX path, add the "fast-xmit" cache
      that will cache the data frame 802.11 header and other data to be
      able to build the frame more quickly. This cache is rebuilt when
      external triggers imply changes, but a lot of the checks done per
      packet today are simplified away to the check for the cache.
      
      There's also a more detailed description in the code.

      A couple of enums in mac80211.h became structures recently, but the

        Error(.//include/net/mac80211.h:367): Cannot parse enum!

        make: *** [mandocs] Error 2
      
      Fix the comments comments accordingly.  Added a couple of other small
      comment fixes while I was there to silence other recently-added docbook
      warnings.

      inet_diag: fix access to tcp cc information · 521f1cf1
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Two different problems are fixed here :
      
      1) inet_sk_diag_fill() might be called without socket lock held.
         icsk->icsk_ca_ops can change under us and module be unloaded.
         -> Access to freed memory.
         Fix this using rcu_read_lock() to prevent module unload.
      
      2) Some TCP Congestion Control modules provide information
         but again this is not safe against icsk->icsk_ca_ops
         change and nla_put() errors were ignored. Some sockets
         could not get the additional info if skb was almost full.
      
      Fix this by returning a status from get_info() handlers and
      using rcu protection as well.

      tcp/dccp: get rid of central timewait timer · 789f558c
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Using a timer wheel for timewait sockets was nice ~15 years ago when
      memory was expensive and machines had a single processor.
      
      This does not scale, code is ugly and source of huge latencies
      (Typically 30 ms have been seen, cpus spinning on death_lock spinlock.)
      
      We can afford to use an extra 64 bytes per timewait sock and spread
      timewait load to all cpus to have better behavior.
      
      Tested:
      
      On following test, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle is set to 1
      on the target (lpaa24)
      
      Before patch :
      
      lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
      419594
      
      lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
      437171
      
      While test is running, we can observe 25 or even 33 ms latencies.
      
      lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
      ...
      1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20601ms
      rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.020/0.217/25.771/1.535 ms, pipe 2
      
      lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
      ...
      1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20702ms
      rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.019/0.183/33.761/1.441 ms, pipe 2
      
      After patch :
      
      About 90% increase of throughput :
      
      lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
      810442
      
      lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
      800992
      
      And latencies are kept to minimal values during this load, even
      if network utilization is 90% higher :
      
      lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
      ...
      1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 19991ms

      Patrick McHardy 提交于
      Add a flag to mark stateful expressions.
      
      This is used for dynamic expression instanstiation to limit the usable
      expressions. Strictly speaking only the dynset expression can not be
      used in order to avoid recursion, but since dynamically instantiating
      non-stateful expressions will simply create an identical copy, which
      behaves no differently than the original, this limits to expressions
      where it actually makes sense to dynamically instantiate them.
