As per recent patch "658f37b7 mwifiex: scan less channels..." less channels are scanned per scan command in associated state. Default number of channels per scan command for normal scan are already 4, but those are 14 for SSID specific scan operation. This code change in this patch is required for SSID specific scan.

First of all, use PHY names instead of magic numbers. It should make configuring kernel easier in case of not enabled PHY type support. Secondly, always print info about PHY.

Drivers that load firmware from their probe routine have problems with the latest versions of udev as they get timeouts while waiting for user space to start. The problem is fixed by using request_firmware_nowait() and delaying the start of mac80211 until the firmware is loaded. To prevent the possibility of the driver being unloaded while the firmware loading callback is still active, a completion queue entry is used.

When a device is unregistered, we have to purge all of the references to it that may exist in the entire system. If a route is uncached, we currently have no way of accomplishing this. So create a global list that is scanned when a network device goes down. This mirrors the logic in net/core/dst.c's dst_ifdown(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Input path is mostly run under RCU and doesnt touch dst refcnt But output path on forwarding or UDP workloads hits badly dst refcount, and we have lot of false sharing, for example in ipv4_mtu() when reading rt->rt_pmtu Using a percpu cache for nh_rth_output gives a nice performance increase at a small cost. 24 udpflood test on my 24 cpu machine (dummy0 output device) (each process sends 1.000.000 udp frames, 24 processes are started) before : 5.24 s after : 2.06 s For reference, time on linux-3.5 : 6.60 s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Tested-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

commit 404e0a8b (net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts) tried to solve a race but added a problem at device/fib dismantle time : We really want to call dst_free() as soon as possible, even if sockets still have dst in their cache. dst_release() calls in free_fib_info_rcu() are not welcomed. Root of the problem was that now we also cache output routes (in nh_rth_output), we must use call_rcu() instead of call_rcu_bh() in rt_free(), because output route lookups are done in process context. Based on feedback and initial patch from David Miller (adding another call_rcu_bh() call in fib, but it appears it was not the right fix) I left the inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper and added __rcu attributes to nh_rth_output and nh_rth_input to better document what is going on in this code.

commit c6cffba4 (ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.) added various fatal races with dst refcounts. crashes happen on tcp workloads if routes are added/deleted at the same time. The dst_free() calls from free_fib_info_rcu() are clearly racy. We need instead regular dst refcounting (dst_release()) and make sure dst_release() is aware of RCU grace periods : Add DST_RCU_FREE flag so that dst_release() respects an RCU grace period before dst destruction for cached dst Introduce a new inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper, using atomic_inc_not_zero() to make sure we dont increase a zero refcount (On a dst currently waiting an rcu grace period before destruction) rt_cache_route() must take a reference on the new cached route, and release it if was not able to install it. With this patch, my machines survive various benchmarks. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

early_demux() handlers should be called in RCU context, and as we use skb_dst_set_noref(skb, dst), caller must not exit from RCU context before dst use (skb_dst(skb)) or release (skb_drop(dst)) Therefore, rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs around ->early_demux() are confusing and not needed : Protocol handlers are already in an RCU read lock section.

When userspace use RTM_GETROUTE to dump route table, with an already expired route entry, we always got an 'expires' value(2147157) calculated base on INT_MAX. The reason of this problem is in the following satement: rt->dst.expires - jiffies < INT_MAX gcc promoted the type of both sides of '<' to unsigned long, thus a small negative value would be considered greater than INT_MAX. With the help of Eric Dumazet, do the out of bound checks in rtnl_put_cacheinfo(), _after_ conversion to clock_t. Signed-off-by: Li Wei <lw@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch fills the net_device vlan_features with the proper hardware features, thus, improving the vlan interface performance. With the patch applied, I can see around 148% improvement on a TCP_STREAM test, from 3.5 Gb/s to 8.7 Gb/s. On TCP_RR, I see a 11% improvement, from 18k to 20.
