There's no harm in having drivers read the list, since they can use RCU protection or RTNL locking; allow this to not require each and every driver to also implement its own bookkeeping. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Some hardware (iwlwifi an example) de-aggregate AMSDUs and copy the IV as is to the generated MPDUs, so the same PN appears in multiple packets without being a replay attack. Allow driver to explicitly indicate that a frame is allowed to have the same PN as the previous frame.

In some cases, after a sudden AP disappearing and reconnection to another AP in the same ESS, user space gets the old AP in scan results (cached). User space may decide to roam to that old AP which will cause a disconnection and longer recovery. Remove APs that are probably out of range from BSS table.

Since a/b/g/n no longer exist as spec amendements and VHT (ex 802.11ac) wasn't handled at all, it's better to just remove the amendment strings to avoid confusion.

Kanchanapally, Vidyullatha authored
Since cfg80211 maintains separate BSS table entries for APs if the same BSSID, SSID pair is seen on multiple channels, it is possible that it can map the current_bss to a BSS entry on the wrong channel. This current_bss will not get flushed unless disconnected and cfg80211 reports a wrong channel as the associated channel. Fix this by introducing a new cfg80211_connect_bss() function which is similar to cfg80211_connect_result(), but it includes an additional parameter: the bss the STA is connected to. This allows drivers to provide the exact bss entry that matches the BSS to which the connection was completed.

Add support for the a station statistics netlink attribute: NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_DURATION. If present, this attribute contains the aggregate PPDU duration (in microseconds) for all the frames from the peer. This is useful to help understand the total time spent transmitting to us by all of the connected peers.

This works on the same implementation principle as codel*.h, i.e. there's a generic header with structures and macros and a implementation header carrying function definitions to include in given, e.g. driver or module. The fairness logic comes from net/sched/sch_fq_codel.c but is generalized so it is more flexible and easier to re-use. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Michal Kazior says: ==================== codel: make it reuseable beyond qdiscs There's an ongoing effort in fixing wireless bufferbloat. As part of that fq_codel is being ported into mac80211. To prevent code duplication codel.h needs to be slightly modified before it can be used in mac80211 (or other drivers FWIW).

It was impossible to include codel.h for the purpose of having access to codel_params or codel_vars structure definitions and using them for embedding in other more complex structures. This splits allows codel.h itself to be treated like any other header file while codel_qdisc.h and codel_impl.h contain function definitions with logic that was previously in codel.h. This copies over copyrights and doesn't involve code changes other than adding a few additional include directives to net/sched/sch*codel.c.

Commit 751a587a ("route: fix breakage after moving lwtunnel state") moved lwtstate to the end of dst_entry for 32bit archs. This makes it share the cacheline with __refcnt which had an unkown effect on performance. For this reason, the pointer was kept in place for 64bit archs. However, later performance measurements showed this is of no concern. It turns out that every performance sensitive path that accesses lwtstate accesses also struct rtable or struct rt6_info which share the same cache line. Thus, to get rid of a few #ifdefs, move the field to the end of the struct also for 64bit. Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Yuval Mintz authored
There's some inconsistency in current logic determining whether the link settings of a given interface can be changed; I.e., in all modes other than the so-called `deault' mode the interfaces are forbidden from changing the configuration - but even this rule is not applied to all user APIs that may change the configuration. Instead, let the core-module [qed] decide whether an interface can change the configuration by supporting a new API function. We also revise the current rule, allowing all interfaces to change their configurations while laying the infrastructure for future modes where an interface would be blocked from making such a configuration.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-04-25 This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf. Emil provides several patches, starting with the consolidation of the logic behind configuring spoof checking. Fixed an issue which was causing link issues for backplane devices because x550em_a/x devices did not have a default value for mac->ops.setup_link. Refactored the ethtool stats to bring the logic closer to how ixgbe handles stats and sets up per-queue stats for ixgbevf. Mark adds a new register to wait for previous register writes to complete before issuing a register read, which is needed when slower links are in use. Fixed the flow control setup for x550em_a, the incorrect fc_setup function was being used. Don added a workaround for empty SFP+ cage crosstalk, since on some systems the crosstalk could lead to link flap on empty SFP+ cages. Jake converts ixgbe and ixgbevf to use the BIT() macro. Alex Duyck adds support for partial GSO segmentation in the case of tunnels for ixgbe and ixgbevf. Then preps for HyperV by moving the API negotiation into mac_ops. Arnd Bergmann provides a fix for the ARM compile warnings in linux-next by converting the use of a udelay() to msleep(). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

I was waiting feedback for this patch: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/613766/ If it's approved, there will be an update to switch nla_total_size() to nla_total_size_64bit() after the merge of net in net-next. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

d894ba18 ("soreuseport: fix ordering for mixed v4/v6 sockets") was merged as a bug fix to the net tree. Two conflicting changes were committed to net-next before the above fix was merged back to net-next: ca065d0c ("udp: no longer use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU") 3b24d854 ("tcp/dccp: do not touch listener sk_refcnt under synflood") These changes switched the datastructure used for TCP and UDP sockets from hlist_nulls to hlist. This patch applies the necessary parts of the net tree fix to net-next which were not automatic as part of the merge.

The newly added x550em_a support causes a link failure on ARM because of an overly long time passed into udelay(): ERROR: "__bad_udelay" [drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko] undefined! There are multiple variants of the ixgbe_acquire_swfw_sync_*() function, and the other ones all use msleep(), so we can safely assume that all callers are allowed to sleep, which makes msleep() a better replacement than mdelay().

This patch moves API negotiation into mac_ops. The general idea here is that with HyperV on the way we need to make certain that anything that will have different versions between HyperV and a standard VF needs to be abstracted enough so that we can have a separate function between the two so we can avoid changes in one breaking something in the other.

This patch adds support for partial GSO segmentation in the case of tunnels. Specifically with this change the driver an perform segmentation as long as the frame either has IPv6 inner headers, or we are allowed to mangle the IP IDs on the inner header. This is needed because we will not be modifying any fields from the start of the start of the outer transport header to the start of the inner transport header as we are treating them like they are just a block of IP options.
