      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.

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

      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.

      mac80211: reduce reliance on netdev · 47846c9b
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have
      a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so
      prepare for that by reducing the reliance on
      having a netdev. This patch moves the name
      and address fields into the sdata struct and
      uses them from there all over. Some work is
      needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not
      a lot of work and in slow paths anyway.
      
      In doing so, this also reduces the number of
      pointer dereferences in many places, because
      of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming
      sdata->vif.addr.

      tcp: connect() race with timewait reuse · 13475a30
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Its currently possible that several threads issuing a connect() find
      the same timewait socket and try to reuse it, leading to list
      corruptions.
      
      Condition for bug is that these threads bound their socket on same
      address/port of to-be-find timewait socket, and connected to same
      target. (SO_REUSEADDR needed)
      
      To fix this problem, we could unhash timewait socket while holding
      ehash lock, to make sure lookups/changes will be serialized. Only
      first thread finds the timewait socket, other ones find the
      established socket and return an EADDRNOTAVAIL error.
      
      This second version takes into account Evgeniy's review and makes sure
      inet_twsk_put() is called outside of locked sections.

      net: Batch inet_twsk_purge · b099ce26
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This function walks the whole hashtable so there is no point in
      passing it a network namespace.  Instead I purge all timewait
      sockets from dead network namespaces that I find.  If the namespace
      is one of the once I am trying to purge I am guaranteed no new timewait
      sockets can be formed so this will get them all.  If the namespace
      is one I am not acting for it might form a few more but I will
      call inet_twsk_purge again and  shortly to get rid of them.  In
      any even if the network namespace is dead timewait sockets are
      useless.
      
      Move the calls of inet_twsk_purge into batch_exit routines so
      that if I am killing a bunch of namespaces at once I will just
      call inet_twsk_purge once and save a lot of redundant unnecessary
      work.
      
      My simple 4k network namespace exit test the cleanup time dropped from
      roughly 8.2s to 1.6s.  While the time spent running inet_twsk_purge fell
      to about 2ms.  1ms for ipv4 and 1ms for ipv6.

      Bluetooth: Implement RejActioned flag · 4ec10d97
      Gustavo F. Padovan 提交于
      RejActioned is used to prevent retransmission when a entity is on the
      WAIT_F state, i.e., waiting for a frame with F-bit set due local busy
      condition or a expired retransmission timer. (When these two events raise
      they send a frame with the Poll bit set and enters in the WAIT_F state to
      wait for a frame with the Final bit set.)
      The local entity doesn't send I-frames(the data frames) until the receipt
      of a frame with F-bit set. When that happens it also set RejActioned to false.
      RejActioned is a mandatory feature of ERTM spec.

      Gustavo F. Padovan 提交于
      As specified by ERTM spec an ERTM channel can acknowledge received
      I-frames(the data frames) by sending an I-frame with the proper ReqSeq
      value (i.e. ReqSeq is set to BufferSeq).  Until now we aren't setting the
      ReqSeq value on I-frame control bits. That way we can save sending
      S-frames(Supervise frames) only to acknowledge receipt of I-frames. It
      is very helpful to the full-duplex channel.
      ReqSeq is the packet sequence number sent in an acknowledgement frame to
      acknowledge receipt of frames up to (ReqSeq - 1).
      BufferSeq controls the receiver buffer, it is used to delay
      acknowledgement of new frames to not cause buffer overflow. BufferSeq
      value is not increased until frames are pulled by reassembly function.

      Bluetooth: Unobfuscate tasklet_schedule usage · c78ae283
      Marcel Holtmann 提交于
      The tasklet schedule function helpers are just an obfuscation. So remove
      them and call the schedule functions directly.

      Bluetooth: Turn hci_recv_frame into an exported function · 76bca880
      Marcel Holtmann 提交于
      For future simplification it is important that the hci_recv_frame
      function is no longer an inline function. So move it into the module
      itself and export it.

      tcp: clear hints to avoid a stale one (nfs only affected?) · 8818a9d8
      Ilpo Järvinen 提交于
      Eric Dumazet mentioned in a context of another problem:
      
      "Well, it seems NFS reuses its socket, so maybe we miss some
      cleaning as spotted in this old patch"
      
      I've not check under which conditions that actually happens but
      if true, we need to make sure we don't accidently leave stale
      hints behind when the write queue had to be purged (whether reusing
      with NFS can actually happen if purging took place is something I'm
      not sure of).
      
      ...At least it compiles.

      TCPCT part 1d: define TCP cookie option, extend existing struct's · 435cf559
      William Allen Simpson 提交于
      Data structures are carefully composed to require minimal additions.
      For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits
      between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional
      space (taking alignment into consideration).  There are no additions to
      tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock.
      
      This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old)

      The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce,
      instead of a user configured offset in the data.  This is more flexible and
      less subject to user configuration error.  Such a cookie option has been
      suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing
      several related concepts to use the same extension option.

      TCPCT part 1c: sysctl_tcp_cookie_size, socket option TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS · 519855c5
      William Allen Simpson 提交于
      Define sysctl (tcp_cookie_size) to turn on and off the cookie option
      default globally, instead of a compiled configuration option.
      
      Define per socket option (TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS) for setting constant
      data values, retrieving variable cookie values, and other facilities.
      
      Move inline tcp_clear_options() unchanged from net/tcp.h to linux/tcp.h,
      near its corresponding struct tcp_options_received (prior to changes).
