2011-09-17tcp: md5: remove one indirection level in tcp_md5sig_poolEric Dumazet1-24/+17
tcp_md5sig_pool is currently an 'array' (a percpu object) of pointers to struct tcp_md5sig_pool. Only the pointers are NUMA aware, but objects themselves are all allocated on a single node. Remove this extra indirection to get proper percpu memory (NUMA aware) and make code simpler. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-09-16ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are acceptedTore Anderson1-4/+4
This patch improves the logic determining when to send ICMPv6 Router Solicitations, so that they are 1) always sent when the kernel is accepting Router Advertisements, and 2) never sent when the kernel is not accepting RAs. In other words, the operational setting of the "accept_ra" sysctl is used. The change also makes the special "Hybrid Router" forwarding mode ("forwarding" sysctl set to 2) operate exactly the same as the standard Router mode (forwarding=1). The only difference between the two was that RSes was being sent in the Hybrid Router mode only. The sysctl documentation describing the special Hybrid Router mode has therefore been removed. Rationale for the change: Currently, the value of forwarding sysctl is the only thing determining whether or not to send RSes. If it has the value 0 or 2, they are sent, otherwise they are not. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in the following cases: * accept_ra=0, forwarding=0 * accept_ra=0, forwarding=2 * accept_ra=1, forwarding=2 * accept_ra=2, forwarding=1 In the first three cases, the kernel will send RSes, even though it will not accept any RAs received in reply. In the last case, it will not send any RSes, even though it will accept and process any RAs received. (Most routers will send unsolicited RAs periodically, so suppressing RSes in the last case will merely delay auto-configuration, not prevent it.) Also, it is my opinion that having the forwarding sysctl control RS sending behaviour (completely independent of whether RAs are being accepted or not) is simply not what most users would intuitively expect to be the case.

2011-09-16can-gw: add netlink based CAN routingOliver Hartkopp3-0/+973
This patch adds a CAN Gateway/Router to route (and modify) CAN frames. It is based on the PF_CAN core infrastructure for msg filtering and msg sending and can optionally modify routed CAN frames on the fly. CAN frames can *only* be routed between CAN network interfaces (one hop). They can be modified with AND/OR/XOR/SET operations as configured by the netlink configuration interface known e.g. from iptables. From the netlink view this can-gw implements RTM_{NEW|DEL|GET}ROUTE for PF_CAN. The CAN specific userspace tool to manage CAN routing entries can be found in the CAN utils http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/socketcan/trunk/can-utils/cangw.c at the SocketCAN SVN on BerliOS.

2011-09-15net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings callingJiri Pirko6-58/+47
This patch does several things: - introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there. - dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings() - changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls. - introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create() so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they are from other places. - use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> v2->v3: -removed dev_ethtool_get_settings() -added ASSERT_RTNL into __ethtool_get_settings() -prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo - use __dev_get_by_index() and lock around it and __ethtool_get_settings() call v1->v2: add missing export_symbol Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> [except FCoE bits] Acked-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-09-15net: linkwatch: allow vlans to get carrier changes fasterEric Dumazet1-2/+7
There is a time-lag of IFF_RUNNING flag consistency between vlan and real devices when the real devices are in problem such as link or cable broken. This leads to a degradation of Availability such as a delay of failover in HA systems using vlan since the detection of the problem at real device is delayed. We can avoid the linkwatch delay (~1 sec) for devices linked to another ones, since delay is already done for the realdev.

2011-09-14mac80211: stop tx before doing hw config and rate updateRajkumar Manoharan2-0/+17
The assumption is that during the hw config, transmission was already stopped by mac80211. Sometimes the AP can be switching b/w the ht modes due to intolerant or etc where STA is in the middle of transmission. In such scenario, buffer overflow was observed at driver side. And also before updating the rate control, the frames are continued to xmited with older rates. This patch ensures that the frames are always xmitted with updated rates and avoid buffer overflow.

2011-09-14cfg80211: hold reg_mutex when updating regulatorySven Neumann4-5/+18
The function wiphy_update_regulatory() uses the static variable last_request and thus needs to be called with reg_mutex held. This is the case for all users in reg.c, but the function was exported for use by wiphy_register(), from where it is called without the lock being held.

When the rssi of the current AP drops, both wpa_supplicant and the firmware may do a background scan to find a better AP and try to associate. Since firmware based roaming is faster, inform wpa_supplicant to avoid roaming and let the firmware decide to roam if necessary. For fullmac drivers like ath6kl, it is just enough to provide the ESSID and the firmware will decide on the BSSID. Since it is not possible to do pre-auth during roaming for fullmac drivers, the wpa_supplicant needs to completely disconnect with the old AP and reconnect with the new AP.
