Use the new for_each_element() helper here, we cannot use for_each_subelement() since we have a fixed 1 byte before the subelements start. While at it, also fix le16_to_cpup() to be get_unaligned_le16() since we don't know anything about alignment. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Sara Sharon authored
In multiple BSSID, we have nested IEs inside the multiple BSSID IE, that override the external ones for that specific BSS. As preparation for supporting that, pass 2 BSSIDs to the parse function, the transmitter, and the selected BSSID, so it can know which IEs to choose. If the selected BSSID is NULL, the outer ones will be applied. Change ieee80211_bss_info_update to parse elements itself, instead of receiving them parsed, so we have the relevant bss entry in hand.

This makes for much simpler code, simply walk through all the elements and check that the last one found ends with the end of the data. This works because if any element is malformed the walk is aborted, we end up with a mismatch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

We currently have a number of helpers to find elements that just return a u8 *, change those to return a struct element and add inlines to deal with the u8 * compatibility. Note that the match behaviour is changed to start the natch at the data, so conversion from _ie_match to _elem_match need to be done carefully. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Johannes Berg authored
Rather than always iterating elements from frames with pure u8 pointers, add a type "struct element" that encapsulates the id/datalen/data format of them. Then, add the element iteration macros * for_each_element * for_each_element_id * for_each_element_extid which take, as their first 'argument', such a structure and iterate through a given u8 array interpreting it as elements. While at it and since we'll need it, also add * for_each_subelement * for_each_subelement_id * for_each_subelement_extid which instead of taking data/length just take an outer element and use its data/datalen. Also add for_each_element_completed() to determine if any of the loops above completed, i.e. it was able to parse all of the elements successfully and no data remained. Use for_each_element_id() in cfg80211_find_ie_match() as the first user of this. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This makes the age information for cfg80211 scan results more accurate and fixes issues with wpa_supplicant dropping "old" scan results (e.g., "wlan0: Own scan request started a scan in 0.000456 seconds") that looked like would have been received before a scan started due to the inaccuracy of the default timing mechanism for calculating the BSS entry age. This makes hwsim test cases significantly more robust to run. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Sven Auhagen reports that if he changes a SFP+ module for a SFP module on the Macchiatobin Single Shot, the link does not come back up. For Sven, it is as easy as: - Insert a SFP+ module connected, and use ping6 to verify link is up. - Remove SFP+ module - Insert SFP 1000base-X module use ping6 to verify link is up: Link up event did not trigger and the link is down but that doesn't show the problem for me. Locally, this has been reproduced by: - Boot with no modules. - Insert SFP+ module, confirm link is up. - Replace module with 25000base-X module. Confirm link is up. - Set remote end down, link is reported as dropped at both ends. - Set remote end up, link is reported up at remote end, but not local end due to lack of link interrupt. Fix this by setting up both GMAC and XLG interrupts for port 0, but only unmasking the appropriate interrupt according to the current mode set in the mac_config() method. However, only do the mask/unmask dance when we are really changing the link mode to avoid missing any link interrupts.

Make MDIO child optional and only instantiate the MDIO bus if the child is actually present. There are currently no (in-tree) users of this binding; all (out-of-tree) users use overlays that get shipped together with the FPGA images that contain the IP.

All users of the fixed_phy_add() pass -1 as GPIO number to the fixed phy driver, and all users of fixed_phy_register() pass -1 as GPIO number as well, except for the device tree MDIO bus. Any new users should create a proper device and pass the GPIO as a descriptor associated with the device so delete the GPIO argument from the calls and drop the code looking requesting a GPIO in fixed_phy_add(). In fixed phy_register(), investigate the "fixed-link" node and pick the GPIO descriptor from "link-gpios" if this property exists. Move the corresponding code out of of_mdio.c as the fixed phy code anyways requires OF to be in use.

Add support for the RX checksum offload. This is enabled by default and may be disabled and re-enabled using 'ethtool': # ethtool -K eth0 rx off # ethtool -K eth0 rx on Some Ether MACs provide a simple checksumming scheme which appears to be completely compatible with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE: sum of all packet data after the L2 header is appended to packet data; this may be trivially read by the driver and used to update the skb accordingly. The same checksumming scheme is implemented in the EtherAVB MACs and now supported by the 'ravb' driver. In terms of performance, throughput is close to gigabit line rate with the RX checksum offload both enabled and disabled. The 'perf' output, however, appears to indicate that significantly less time is spent in do_csum() -- this is as expected.

Commit 62e04b7e ("sh_eth: rename 'sh_eth_cpu_data::hw_crc'") renamed the field to 'hw_checksum' for the Ether DMAC "intelligent checksum", however some Ether MACs implement a simpler checksumming scheme, so that name now seems misleading.

Deepa Dinamani says: ==================== net: y2038-safe socket timestamps The series introduces new socket timestamps that are y2038 safe. The time data types used for the existing socket timestamp options: SO_TIMESTAMP, SO_TIMESTAMPNS and SO_TIMESTAMPING are not y2038 safe. The series introduces SO_TIMESTAMP_NEW, SO_TIMESTAMPNS_NEW and SO_TIMESTAMPING_NEW to replace these. These new timestamps can be used on all architectures. The alternative considered was to extend the sys_setsockopt() by using the flags. We did not receive any strong opinions about either of the approaches. Hence, this was chosen, as glibc folks preferred this. The series does not deal with updating the internal kernel socket calls like rxrpc to make them y2038 safe. This will be dealt with separately. Note that the timestamps behavior already does not match the man page specific behavior: SIOCGSTAMP This ioctl should only be used if the socket option SO_TIMESTAMP is not set on the socket. Otherwise, it returns the timestamp of the last packet that was received while SO_TIMESTAMP was not set, or it fails if no such packet has been received, (i.e., ioctl(2) returns -1 with errno set to ENOENT). The recommendation is to update the man page to remove the above statement. The overview of the socket timestamp series is as below: 1. Delete asm specific socket.h when possible. 2. Support SO/SCM_TIMESTAMP* options only in userspace. 3. Rename current SO/SCM_TIMESTAMP* to SO/SCM_TIMESTAMP*_OLD. 3. Alter socket options so that SOCK_RCVTSTAMPNS does not rely on SOCK_RCVTSTAMP. 4. Introduce y2038 safe types for socket timestamp. 5. Introduce new y2038 safe socket options SO/SCM_TIMESTAMP*_NEW. 6. Intorduce new y2038 safe socket timeout options. Changes since v4: * Fixed the typo in calling sock_get_timeout() Changes since v3: * Rebased onto net-next and fixups as per review comments * Merged the socket timeout series * Integrated Arnd's patch to simplify compat handling of timeout syscalls Changes since v2: * Removed extra functions to reduce diff churn as per code review Changes since v1: * Dropped the change to disentangle sock flags * Renamed sock_timeval to __kernel_sock_timeval * Updated a few comments * Added documentation changes ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO socket options use struct timeval as the time format. struct timeval is not y2038 safe. The subsequent patches in the series add support for new socket timeout options with _NEW suffix that will use y2038 safe data structures. Although the existing struct timeval layout is sufficiently wide to represent timeouts, because of the way libc will interpret time_t based on user defined flag, these new flags provide a way of having a structure that is the same for all architectures consistently. Rename the existing options with _OLD suffix forms so that the right option is enabled for userspace applications according to the architecture and time_t definition of libc.
