This cleans up the consequences of an earlier patch which introduced the `if IP_DCCP' clause into net/dccp/Kconfig. The CCID Kconfig menu is sourced within this clause; as a consequence, all tests of type `depends on IP_DCCP' are now redundant. Signed-off-by:

This patch addresses the following problems: 1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available. Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation. 2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2 (DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID). 3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a `minimum common denominator'; the specification says that: * "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints" * "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2. The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]" Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable. Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added. Discussions with Ian McDonald on this subject are gratefully acknowledged. Signed-off-by: -

This extends the DCCP socket API by honouring any shutdown(2) option set by the user. The behaviour is, as much as possible, made consistent with the API for TCP's shutdown. This patch exploits the information provided by the user via the socket API to reduce processing costs: * if the read end is closed (SHUT_RD), it is not necessary to deliver to input CCID; * if the write end is closed (SHUT_WR), the same idea applies, but with a difference - as long as the TX queue has not been drained, we need to receive feedback to keep congestion-control rates up to date. Hence SHUT_WR is honoured only after the last packet (under congestion control) has been sent; * although SHUT_RDWR seems nonsensical, it is nevertheless supported in the same manner as for TCP (and agrees with test for SHUTDOWN_MASK in dccp_poll() in net/dccp/proto.c). Furthermore, most of the code already honours the sk_shutdown flags (dccp_recvmsg() for instance sets the read length to 0 if SHUT_RD had been called); CCID handling is now added to this by the present patch. There will also no longer be any delivery when the socket is in the final stages, i.e. when one of dccp_close(), dccp_fin(), or dccp_done() has been called - which is fine since at that stage the connection is its final stages. Motivation and background are on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/shutdown A FIXME has been added to notify the other end if SHUT_RD has been set (RFC 4340, 11.7). Note: There is a comment in inet_shutdown() in net/ipv4/af_inet.c which asks to "make sure the socket is a TCP socket". This should probably be extended to mean `TCP or DCCP socket' (the code is also used by UDP and raw sockets). Signed-off-by:

This decouples PARTOPEN from TCP-specific stream-states. It thus addresses the FIXME. The code has been checked with regard to dependency on PARTOPEN and FIN_WAIT1 states (to which PARTOPEN previously was mapped): there is no difference, as PARTOPEN is always referred to directly (i.e. not via the mapping to TCP state).

The moving average computation occurs so frequently in the CCID 3 code that it merits an inline function of its own. This is uses a suggestion by Arnaldo as per http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01662.htmlSigned-off-by:

This fixes/updates the handling of idle and application-limited periods in CCID3, which currently is broken: there is no detection as to how long a sender has been idle - there is only one flag which is toggled in between function calls. Being obsolete now, the `idle' flag is removed. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a previously undiscovered bug; the problem is in computing the elapsed time as the time between `receiving' the packet (i.e. skb enters CCID module) and sending feedback: - there is no layer-processing, queueing, or delay involved, - hence the elapsed time is in the order of 1 function call - this is in the dimension of maximally 50..100usec - which renders the use of elapsed time almost entirely useless. The fix is simply to ignore such trivial amounts of elapsed time. As a further advantage, the now useless elapsed_time field can be removed from the socket, which reduces the socket structure by another four bytes. Signed-off-by: -

This updates the CCID3 code with regard to two instances of using `MSS' in place of `s': 1. The RFC3390-based initial rate: both rfc3448bis as well as the Faster Restart draft now consistently use `s' instead of MSS. 2. Now agrees with section 4.2 of rfc3448bis: "If the sender is ready to send data when it does not yet have a round trip sample, the value of X is set to s bytes per second, for segment size s [...]" Signed-off-by: -

This patch adds several structs and definitions to ieee80211.h to support 802.11n draft specifications. As 802.11n depends on and extends the 802.11e standard in several issues, there are also several definitions that belong to 802.11e. Signed-off-by:

Sometimes drivers need to know which interfaces are associated with their hardware. Rather than forcing those drivers to keep track of the interfaces that were added, this adds an iteration function to mac80211. As it is intended to be used from the interface add/remove callbacks, the iteration function may currently only be called under RTNL. Signed-off-by:

This function references sk->sk_prot->xxx for many times. It turned out, that there's so many code in it, that gcc cannot always optimize access to sk->sk_prot's fields. After saving the sk->sk_prot on the stack and comparing disassembled code, it turned out that the function became ~10 bytes shorter and made less dereferences (on i386 and x86_64). Stack consumption didn't grow. Besides, this patch drives most of this function into the 80 columns limit. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a separate workqueue for cleaning up a network namespace. If we use the keventd workqueue to execute cleanup_net(), there is a problem to unregister devices in IPv6. Indeed the code that cleans up also schedule work in keventd: as long as cleanup_net() hasn't return, dst_gc_task() cannot run and as long as dst_gc_task() has not run, there are still some references pending on the net devices and cleanup_net() can not unregister and exit the keventd workqueue.

Every 600 seconds (ip_rt_secret_interval), a softirq flush of the whole ip route cache is triggered. On loaded machines, this can starve softirq for many seconds and can eventually crash. This patch moves this flush to a workqueue context, using the worker we intoduced in commit 39c90ece (IPV4: Convert rt_check_expire() from softirq processing to workqueue.) Also, immediate flushes (echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush) are using rt_do_flush() helper function, wich take attention to rescheduling. Next step will be to handle delayed flushes ("echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush" or "ip route flush cache") Signed-off-by:

Both ipv6/raw.c and ipv4/raw.c use the seq files to walk through the raw sockets hash and show them. The "walking" code is rather huge, but is identical in both cases. The difference is the hash table to walk over and the protocol family to check (this was not in the first virsion of the patch, which was noticed by YOSHIFUJI) Make the ->open store the needed hash table and the family on the allocated raw_iter_state and make the start/next/stop callbacks work with it. This removes most of the code. Signed-off-by:

The ipv4/raw.c and ipv6/raw.c contain many common code (most of which is proc interface) which can be consolidated. Most of the places to consolidate deal with the raw sockets hashtable, so introduce a struct raw_hashinfo which describes the raw sockets hash. Signed-off-by:

Pavel Emelyanov authored
The raw sockets functions are explicitly used from inside the kernel in two places: 1. in ip_local_deliver_finish to intercept skb-s 2. in icmp_error For this purposes many functions and even data structures, that are naturally internal for raw protocol, are exported. Compact the API to two functions and hide all the other (including hash table and rwlock) inside the net/ipv4/raw.c Signed-off-by:

Because of the global nature of garbage collection, and because of the cost of per namespace hash tables unix_socket_table has been kept global. With a filter added on lookups so we don't see sockets from the wrong namespace. Currently I don't fold the namesapce into the hash so multiple namespaces using the same socket name will be guaranteed a hash collision. Changes from v1: - fixed unix_seq_open Signed-off-by:

After the previous prep work this just consists of removing checks limiting the code to work in the initial network namespace, and updating rtmsg_ifinfo so we can generate events for devices in something other then the initial network namespace. Referring to network other network devices like the IFLA_LINK and IFLA_MASTER attributes do, gets interesting if those network devices happen to be in other network namespaces. Currently ifindex numbers are allocated globally so I have taken the path of least resistance and not still report the information even though the devices they are talking about are invisible. If applications start getting confused or when ifindex numbers become local to the network namespace we may need to do something different in the future. Signed-off-by:

Before I can enable rtnetlink to work in all network namespaces I need to be certain that something won't break. So this patch deliberately disables all of the rtnletlink methods in everything except the initial network namespace. After the methods have been audited this extra check can be disabled.

With this patch the synced connections are created with their real state, which can be changed on the next synchronizations if necessary. This way on fail-over all the connections will be treated according to their actual state, causing no scheduling problems (the active and the nonactive connections have different weights in the schedulers). The backwards compatibility is preserved and the existing tools will show the true connection states even on the backup director. Signed-off-by:
