There is no need to allocate and send the reply message in each handling function separately. Instead, the reply skb can be allocated and sent in dcb_doit() directly. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Conflicts: MAINTAINERS drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c The iwlwifi conflict was resolved by keeping the code added in 'net' that turns off the buggy chip feature. The MAINTAINERS conflict was merely overlapping changes, one change updated all the wireless web site URLs and the other changed some GIT trees to be Johannes's instead of John's.

Add dev_loopback_xmit() in order to deduplicate functions ip_dev_loopback_xmit() (in net/ipv4/ip_output.c) and ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() (in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c). I was about to reinvent the wheel when I noticed that ip_dev_loopback_xmit() and ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() do exactly what I need and are not IP-only functions, but they were not available to reuse elsewhere. ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() does not have line "skb_dst_force(skb);", but I understand that this is harmless, and should be in dev_loopback_xmit().

Cloning all packets in input path have a significant cost. Use skb_header_pointer()/skb_copy_bits() instead of pskb_may_pull() so that recv_probe handlers (bond_3ad_lacpdu_recv / bond_arp_rcv / rlb_arp_recv ) dont touch input skb. bond_handle_frame() can avoid the skb_clone()/dev_kfree_skb() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Cc: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> Cc: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz> Cc: Nicolas de Pesloüan <nicolas.2p.debian@free.fr> Cc: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In the transmit path of the bonding driver, skb->cb is used to stash the skb->queue_mapping so that the bonding device can set its own queue mapping. This value becomes corrupted since the skb->cb is also used in __dev_xmit_skb. When transmitting through bonding driver, bond_select_queue is called from dev_queue_xmit. In bond_select_queue the original skb->queue_mapping is copied into skb->cb (via bond_queue_mapping) and skb->queue_mapping is overwritten with the bond driver queue. Subsequently in dev_queue_xmit, __dev_xmit_skb is called which writes the packet length into skb->cb, thereby overwriting the stashed queue mappping. In bond_dev_queue_xmit (called from hard_start_xmit), the queue mapping for the skb is set to the stashed value which is now the skb length and hence is an invalid queue for the slave device. If we want to save skb->queue_mapping into skb->cb[], best place is to add a field in struct qdisc_skb_cb, to make sure it wont conflict with other layers (eg : Qdiscc, Infiniband...) This patchs also makes sure (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data is aligned on 8 bytes : netem qdisc for example assumes it can store an u64 in it, without misalignment penalty. Note : we only have 20 bytes left in (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data[]. The largest user is CHOKe and it fills it. Based on a previous patch from Tom Herbert.

Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider packets from that address block martian when routing and do not process corresponding ARP requests. This is a sane default but renders a huge address space practically unuseable. The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests behind a load balancer. This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet' enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing of ARP requests on a specific interface. Note that for the feature to work, the default local route covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed. Example: $ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1 $ ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0 $ ip route flush cache V2: Fix invalid check to auto flush cache (thanks davem) Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

lpc_eth does a copy of transmitted skbs to DMA area, without checking skb lengths, so can trigger buffer overflows : memcpy(pldat->tx_buff_v + txidx * ENET_MAXF_SIZE, skb->data, len); One way to get bigger skbs is to allow MTU changes above the 1500 limit. Calling eth_change_mtu() in ndo_change_mtu() makes sure this cannot happen.

Currently 4 channels are scanned per scan command. if scan request is issued by user during Tx traffic, radio will be out of channel for "4 * per_chan_scan_time" for each scan command and will not be able to receive Rx packets. This adds delay in data traffic. We can minimize it by reducing number of channels scanned per scan command in this scenario. We can not always scan 1 channel per scan command due to limitation of number of command buffers. So we add code to decide number of channels scanned per scan command in associated state.

If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running, driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic there is a delay for Tx packets. This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by 20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will be aborted.

Currently the scan time per channel for active scanning is set to 200ms. It takes quite a while to finsh scanning on all channels, especially with a dual band configuration. Change the per channel scan time settings to the following values: passive scan: 110ms active scan: 30ms specific scan: 30ms Above settings have been tested on x86 and arm platforms.

This implementation can deal with having many inetpeer roots, which is a necessary prerequisite for per-FIB table rooted peer tables. Each family (AF_INET, AF_INET6) has a sequence number which we bump when we get a family invalidation request. Each peer lookup cheaply checks whether the flush sequence of the root we are using is out of date, and if so flushes it and updates the sequence number. Signed-off-by: David S.

There is zero point to this function. It's only real substance is to perform an extremely outdated BSD4.2 ICMP check, which we can safely remove. If you really have a MTU limited link being routed by a BSD4.2 derived system, here's a nickel go buy yourself a real router. The other actions of ip_rt_frag_needed(), checking and conditionally updating the peer, are done by the per-protocol handlers of the ICMP event. TCP, UDP, et al. have a handler which will receive this event and transmit it back into the associated route via dst_ops->update_pmtu(). This simplification is important, because it eliminates the one place where we do not have a proper route context in which to make an inetpeer lookup. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
