      netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix hash resizing with namespaces · d696c7bd
      Patrick McHardy 提交于
      As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash
      size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through
      /sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only
      resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces
      will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging
      the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it.
      
      Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global
      hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a
      new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for
      now as other namespaces are not handled currently.

      netfilter: nf_conntrack: per netns nf_conntrack_cachep · 5b3501fa
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but
      because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong.
      
      If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between
      one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent
      reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO)
      can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be
      observed between object freeing and its reuse.
      
      We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP
      hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to
      its netns).
      
      If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns
      conntrack slab caches, to guarantee an object can not escape from one
      namespace to another one.

      mac80211: re-enable re-transmission of filtered frames · c6fcf6bc
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      In an earlier commit,
      
          mac80211: disable software retry for now
      
          Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to
          software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns
          out that we've never done that correctly, but due to
          some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've
          added a comment in the patch that explains the problem
          better and also points to possible solutions -- which
          I can't implement right now.
      
      I disabled software retry of failed/filtered frames
      because it was broken. With the work of the previous
      patches, it now becomes fairly easy to re-enable it
      by adding a flag indicating that the frame shouldn't
      be modified, but still running it through the transmit
      handlers to populate the control information.

      tcp: account SYN-ACK timeouts & retransmissions · 72659ecc
      Octavian Purdila 提交于
      Currently we don't increment SYN-ACK timeouts & retransmissions
      although we do increment the same stats for SYN. We seem to have lost
      the SYN-ACK accounting with the introduction of tcp_syn_recv_timer
      (commit 2248761e in the netdev-vger-cvs tree).
      
      This patch fixes this issue. In the process we also rename the v4/v6
      syn/ack retransmit functions for clarity. We also add a new
      request_socket operations (syn_ack_timeout) so we can keep code in
      inet_connection_sock.c protocol agnostic.

      mac80211: add U-APSD client support · ab13315a
      Kalle Valo 提交于
      Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The
      idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered
      frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it
      possible to save even more power.
      
      Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current
      implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and
      hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.
      
      Tested with wl1251 on a Nokia N900 and Cisco Aironet 1231G AP and running
      various test traffic with ping.

      cfg80211: Store IEs from both Beacon and Probe Response frames · 34a6eddb
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      Store information elements from Beacon and Probe Response frames in
      separate buffers to allow both sets to be made available through
      nl80211. This allows user space applications to get access to IEs from
      Beacon frames even if we have received Probe Response frames from the
      BSS. Previously, the IEs from Probe Response frames would have
      overridden the IEs from Beacon frames.
      
      This feature is of somewhat limited use since most protocols include
      the same (or extended) information in Probe Response frames. However,
      there are couple of exceptions where the IEs from Beacon frames could
      be of some use: TIM IE is only included in Beacon frames (and it would
      be needed to figure out the DTIM period used in the BSS) and at least
      some implementations of Wireless Provisioning Services seem to include
      the full IE only in Beacon frames).
      
      The new BSS attribute for scan results is added to allow both the IE
      sets to be delivered. This is done in a way that maintains the
      previously used behavior for applications that are not aware of the
      new NL80211_BSS_BEACON_IES attribute.

      mac80211: add functions to create PS Poll and Nullfunc templates · 7044cc56

      Some hardware, for example wl1251 and wl1271, handle the transmission

      Add two new functions, ieee80211_pspoll_get() and ieee80211_nullfunc_get()
      which drivers need to call to get the frame. Drivers are also responsible
      for updating the templates after each association.

      cfg80211/mac80211: Use more generic bitrate mask for rate control · 37eb0b16
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask
      instead of just a single fixed or maximum rate index. This change
      itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it
      prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting
      which rates can be used in TX rate control.
      
      Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm
      unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now
      be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to
      optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled.
      
      The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained
      (but commented as deprecated) for backwards compatibility with existing
      RC implementations. Once these implementations have been updated to
      use the more generic rate_idx_mask, the max_rate_idx value can be
      removed.

      mac80211: Select lowest rate based on basic rate set in AP mode · e00cfce0
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      If the basic rate set is configured to not include the lowest rate
      (e.g., basic rate set = 6, 12, 24 Mbps in IEEE 802.11g mode), the AP
      should not send out broadcast frames at 1 Mbps. This type of
      configuration can be used to optimize channel usage in cases where
      there is no need for backwards compatibility with IEEE 802.11b-only
      devices.
      
      In AP mode, mac80211 was unconditionally using the lowest rate for
      Beacon frames and similarly, with all rate control algorithms that use
      rate_control_send_low(), the lowest rate ended up being used for all
      broadcast frames (and all unicast frames that are sent before
      association). Change this to take into account the basic rate
      configuration in AP mode, i.e., use the lowest rate in the basic rate
      set instead of the lowest supported rate when selecting the rate.
