This switches ath9k over to using the mac80211 intermediate software queueing mechanism for data packets. It removes the queueing inside the driver, except for the retry queue, and instead pulls from mac80211 when a packet is needed. The retry queue is used to store a packet that was pulled but can't be sent immediately. The old code path in ath_tx_start that would queue packets has been removed completely, as has the qlen limit tunables (since there's no longer a queue in the driver to limit). The mac80211 intermediate software queues offer significant latency reductions, and this patch allows ath9k to realise them. The exact gains from this varies with the test scenario, but in an access point scenario we have seen latency reductions ranging from 1/3 to as much as an order of magnitude. We also achieve slightly better aggregation. Median latency (ping) figures with this patch applied at the access point, with two high-rate stations and one low-rate station (HT20 5Ghz), running a Flent rtt_fair_var_up test with one TCP flow and one ping flow going to each station: Fast station Slow station Default pfifo_fast qdisc: 430.4 ms 638.7 ms fq_codel qdisc on iface: 35.5 ms 211.8 ms This patch set: 22.4 ms 38.2 ms Median aggregation sizes over the same test: Default pfifo_fast qdisc: 9.5 pkts 1.9 pkts fq_codel qdisc on iface: 11.2 pkts 1.9 pkts This patch set: 13.9 pkts 1.9 pkts This patch is based on Tim's original patch set, but reworked quite thoroughly.

This allows setting the MAC address and specifying that the firmware will be requested from userspace (because there might not be a hardware EEPROM connected to the chip) for ath9k based PCI devices using the device tree. There is some out-of-tree code to "convert devicetree to ath9k_platform_data" (for example in OpenWrt and LEDE) which becomes obsolete with this patch.

The active_high LED of my Wistron DNMA-92 is still being recognized as active_low on 4.7.6 mainline. When I was preparing my former commit 0f9edcdd ("ath9k: Fix LED polarity for some Mini PCI AR9220 MB92 cards.") to fix that I must have somehow messed up with testing, because I tested the final version of that patch before sending it, and it was apparently working; but now it is not working on 4.7.6 mainline. I initially added the PCI_DEVICE_SUB section for 0x0029/0x2096 above the PCI_VDEVICE section for 0x0029; but then I moved the former below the latter after seeing how 0x002A sections were sorted in the file. This turned out to be wrong: if a generic PCI_VDEVICE entry (that has both subvendor and subdevice IDs set to PCI_ANY_ID) is put before a more specific one (PCI_DEVICE_SUB), then the generic PCI_VDEVICE entry will match first and will be used. With this patch, 0x0029/0x2096 has finally got active_high LED on 4.7.6. While I'm at it, let's fix 0x002A too by also moving its generic definition below its specific ones.

firewire-net, like the older eth1394 driver, reduced the initial MTU to less than 1500 octets if the local link layer controller's asynchronous packet reception limit was lower. This is bogus, since this reception limit does not have anything to do with the transmission limit. Neither did this reduction affect the TX path positively, nor could it prevent link fragmentation at the RX path. Many FireWire CardBus cards have a max_rec of 9, causing an initial MTU of 1024 - 16 = 1008. RFC 2734 and RFC 3146 allow a minimum max_rec = 8, which would result in an initial MTU of 512 - 16 = 496. On such cards, IPv6 could only be employed if the MTU was manually increased to 1280 or more, i.e. IPv6 would not work without intervention from userland. We now always initialize the MTU to 1500, which is the default according to RFC 2734 and RFC 3146. On a VIA VT6316 based CardBus card which was affected by this, changing the MTU from 1008 to 1500 also increases TX bandwidth by 6 %. RX remains unaffected.

Commit b3e3893e ("net: use core MTU range checking in misc drivers") mistakenly introduced an upper limit for firewire-net's MTU based on the local link layer controller's reception capability. Revert this. Neither RFC 2734 nor our implementation impose any particular upper limit. Actually, to be on the safe side and to make the code explicit, set ETH_MAX_MTU = 65535 as upper limit now. (I replaced sizeof(struct rfc2734_header) by the equivalent RFC2374_FRAG_HDR_SIZE in order to avoid distracting long/int conversions.)

The maximum MTU is defined via the slave devices of an batman-adv interface. Thus it is not possible to calculate the max_mtu during the creation of the batman-adv device when no slave devices are attached. Doing so would for example break non-fragmentation setups which then (incorrectly) allow an MTU of 1500 even when underlying device cannot transport 1500 bytes + batman-adv headers. Checking the dynamically calculated max_mtu via the minimum of the slave devices MTU during .ndo_change_mtu is also used by the bridge interface.

iwlmvm currently uses dev_coredumpm() to collect multiple buffers, but this has the downside of pinning the module until the coredump expires, if the data isn't read by any userspace. Avoid this by using the new dev_coredumpsg() method. We still copy the data from the old way of generating it, but neither hold on to vmalloc'ed data for a long time, nor do we pin the module now.

New firmwares support dynamic queue allocation (DQA), which enables on-demand allocation of queues per RA/TID, instead of allocating them statically per vif. This allows an AP to send, for instance, BE traffic to STA2 even if it also needs to send traffic to a sleeping STA1, without being blocked by the sleeping station. The implementation in the driver is now ready, so we can enable this feature by default when running firmwares that support it.

In criu we are actively using diag interface to collect sockets present in the system when dumping applications. And while for unix, tcp, udp[lite], packet, netlink it works as expected, the raw sockets do not have. Thus add it. v2: - add missing sock_put calls in raw_diag_dump_one (by eric.dumazet@) - implement @destroy for diag requests (by dsa@) v3: - add export of raw_abort for IPv6 (by dsa@) - pass net-admin flag into inet_sk_diag_fill due to changes in net-next branch (by dsa@) v4: - use @pad in struct inet_diag_req_v2 for raw socket protocol specification: raw module carries sockets which may have custom protocol passed from socket() syscall and sole @sdiag_protocol is not enough to match underlied ones - start reporting protocol specifed in socket() call when sockets are raw ones for the same reason: user space tools like ss may parse this attribute and use it for socket matching v5 (by eric.dumazet@): - use sock_hold in raw_sock_get instead of atomic_inc, we're holding (raw_v4_hashinfo|raw_v6_hashinfo)->lock when looking up so counter won't be zero here. v6: - use sdiag_raw_protocol() helper which will access @pad structure used for raw sockets protocol specification: we can't simply rename this member without breaking uapi v7: - sine sdiag_raw_protocol() helper is not suitable for uapi lets rather make an alias structure with proper names. __check_inet_diag_req_raw helper will catch if any of structure unintentionally changed.

Paolo Abeni says: ==================== udp: refactor memory accounting This patch series refactor the udp memory accounting, replacing the generic implementation with a custom one, in order to remove the needs for locking the socket on the enqueue and dequeue operations. The socket backlog usage is dropped, as well. The first patch factor out pieces of some queue and memory management socket helpers, so that they can later be used by the udp memory accounting functions. The second patch adds the memory account helpers, without using them. The third patch replacse the old rx memory accounting path for udp over ipv4 and udp over ipv6. In kernel UDP users are updated, as well. The memory accounting schema is described in detail in the individual patch commit message. The performance gain depends on the specific scenario; with few flows (and little contention in the original code) the differences are in the noise range, while with several flows contending the same socket, the measured speed-up is relevant (e.g. even over 100% in case of extreme contention) Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for the reiterated reviews and suggestions. v5 -> v6: - do not orphan the skb on enqueue, skb_steal_sock() already did the work for us v4 -> v5: - use the receive queue spin lock to protect the memory accounting - several minor clean-up v3 -> v4: - simplified the locking schema, always use a plain spinlock v2 -> v3: - do not set the now unsed backlog_rcv callback v1 -> v2: - changed slighly the memory accounting schema, we now perform lazy reclaim - fixed forward_alloc updating issue - fixed memory counter integer overflows ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
