This changes the SIWTXPOWER ioctl to also accept a txpower setting of "automatic". Since mac80211 currently cannot tell drivers to automatically adjust tx power, we select the tx power level of the current channel. While this is kind of a hack, it certainly saves some iwconfig users from headaches. Signed-off-by:

Previously one of the in-block skip branches was missing it. Also, drop it from tail-fully-processed case because the next iteration will do exactly the same thing, i.e., process the SACK block that contains the DSACK information. Signed-off-by:

ip_rt_acct needs 4096 bytes per cpu to perform some accounting. It is actually allocated as a single huge array [4096*NR_CPUS] (rounded up to a power of two) Converting it to a per cpu variable is wanted to : - Save space on machines were num_possible_cpus() < NR_CPUS - Better NUMA placement (each cpu gets memory on its node) Signed-off-by:

Key points of this patch are: - In case new SACK information is advance only type, no skb processing below previously discovered highest point is done - Optimize cases below highest point too since there's no need to always go up to highest point (which is very likely still present in that SACK), this is not entirely true though because I'm dropping the fastpath_skb_hint which could previously optimize those cases even better. Whether that's significant, I'm not too sure. Currently it will provide skipping by walking. Combined with RB-tree, all skipping would become fast too regardless of window size (can be done incrementally later). Previously a number of cases in TCP SACK processing fails to take advantage of costly stored information in sack_recv_cache, most importantly, expected events such as cumulative ACK and new hole ACKs. Processing on such ACKs result in rather long walks building up latencies (which easily gets nasty when window is huge). Those latencies are often completely unnecessary compared with the amount of _new_ information received, usually for cumulative ACK there's no new information at all, yet TCP walks whole queue unnecessary potentially taking a number of costly cache misses on the way, etc.! Since the inclusion of highest_sack, there's a lot information that is very likely redundant (SACK fastpath hint stuff, fackets_out, highest_sack), though there's no ultimate guarantee that they'll remain the same whole the time (in all unearthly scenarios). Take advantage of this knowledge here and drop fastpath hint and use direct access to highest SACKed skb as a replacement. Effectively "special cased" fastpath is dropped. This change adds some complexity to introduce better coveraged "fastpath", though the added complexity should make TCP behave more cache friendly. The current ACK's SACK blocks are compared against each cached block individially and only ranges that are new are then scanned by the high constant walk. For other parts of write queue, even when in previously known part of the SACK blocks, a faster skip function is used (if necessary at all). In addition, whenever possible, TCP fast-forwards to highest_sack skb that was made available by an earlier patch. In typical case, no other things but this fast-forward and mandatory markings after that occur making the access pattern quite similar to the former fastpath "special case". DSACKs are special case that must always be walked. The local to recv_sack_cache copying could be more intelligent w.r.t DSACKs which are likely to be there only once but that is left to a separate patch. Signed-off-by: -

Many assumptions that are true when no reordering or other strange events happen are not a part of the RFC3517. FACK implementation is based on such assumptions. Previously (before the rewrite) the non-FACK SACK was basically doing fast rexmit and then it times out all skbs when first cumulative ACK arrives, which cannot really be called SACK based recovery :-). RFC3517 SACK disables these things: - Per SKB timeouts & head timeout entry to recovery - Marking at least one skb while in recovery (RFC3517 does this only for the fast retransmission but not for the other skbs when cumulative ACKs arrive in the recovery) - Sacktag's loss detection flavors B and C (see comment before tcp_sacktag_write_queue) This does not implement the "last resort" rule 3 of NextSeg, which allows retransmissions also when not enough SACK blocks have yet arrived above a segment for IsLost to return true [RFC3517]. The implementation differs from RFC3517 in these points: - Rate-halving is used instead of FlightSize / 2 - Instead of using dupACKs to trigger the recovery, the number of SACK blocks is used as FACK does with SACK blocks+holes (which provides more accurate number). It seems that the difference can affect negatively only if the receiver does not generate SACK blocks at all even though it claimed to be SACK-capable. - Dupthresh is not a constant one. Dynamical adjustments include both holes and sacked segments (equal to what FACK has) due to complexity involved in determining the number sacked blocks between highest_sack and the reordered segment. Thus it's will be an over-estimate. Implementation note: tcp_clean_rtx_queue doesn't need a lost_cnt tweak because head skb at that point cannot be SACKED_ACKED (nor would such situation last for long enough to cause problems).

This implements more accurately what is stated in sacktag's overall comment: "Both of these heuristics are not used in Loss state, when we cannot account for retransmits accurately." When CA_Loss state is entered, the state changer ensures that undo_marker is only set if no TCPCB_RETRANS skbs were found, thus having non-zero undo_marker in CA_Loss basically tells that the R-bits still accurately reflect the current state of TCP.

The sock_valbool_flag() helper is used in setsockopt to set or reset some flag on the sock. This helper is required in the net/socket.c only, so move it there. Besides, patch two places in sys_setsockopt() that repeat this helper functionality manually. Since this is not a bugfix, but a trivial cleanup, I prepared this patch against net-2.6.25, but it also applies (with a single offset) to the latest net-2.6. Signed-off-by:

Some time ago a sockfd_lookup_light was introduced and most of the socket.c file was patched to use it. However two routines were left - sys_sendto and sys_recvfrom. Patch them as well, since this helper does exactly what these two need. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds support for async resumptions on input. To do so, the transform would return -EINPROGRESS and subsequently invoke the function xfrm_input_resume to resume processing. Signed-off-by:
-
Herbert Xu authored
The nhoff field isn't actually necessary in xfrm_input. For tunnel mode transforms we now throw away the output IP header so it makes no sense to fill in the nexthdr field. For transport mode we can now let the function transport_finish do the setting and it knows where the nexthdr field is. The only other thing that needs the nexthdr field to be set is the header extraction code. However, we can simply move the protocol extraction out of the generic header extraction. We want to minimise the amount of info we have to carry around between transforms as this simplifies the resumption process for async crypto. Signed-off-by:

Currently x->lastused is u64 which means that it cannot be read/written atomically on all architectures. David Miller observed that the value stored in it is only an unsigned long which is always atomic. So based on his suggestion this patch changes the internal representation from u64 to unsigned long while the user-interface still refers to it as u64. Signed-off-by:

This patch releases the lock on the state before calling x->type->input. It also adds the lock to the spots where they're currently needed. Most of those places (all except mip6) are expected to disappear with async crypto. Signed-off-by:

Herbert Xu authored
Similar to the moving out of the replay processing on the output, this patch moves the integrity stat collectin from x->type->input into xfrm_input. This would eventually allow transforms such as AH/ESP to be lockless. The error value EBADMSG (currently unused in the crypto layer) is used to indicate a failed integrity check. In future this error can be directly returned by the crypto layer once we switch to aead algorithms. Signed-off-by:
