| * include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 9c705260feea6ae329bc6b6d5f6d2ef0227eda0a I was just looking at ppp_generic, and noticed that it fairly recently (as in the last year) got rather mangled with many spaces turned into tabs in places they very much shouldn't have been. I tracked it down to commit 9c705260feea6ae329bc6b6d5f6d2ef0227eda0a (ppp: ppp_mp_explode() redesign). I am amazed if that patch passed the patch checking script. I have no idea what kind of weird editor setting did this, but it has to have been a weird editor setting or a very unfortunate search and replace gone wrong. I only found it trying to apply a patch I was playing with and wondering why it wouldn't apply. Then I found there were tabs in the middle of comments that used to be spaces. Well here is a patch that should fix it up as far as I can tell. Purely whitespace repair. No actual code changes. Signed-off-by: Len Sorensen <lsorense@csclub.uwaterloo.ca> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ppp: fix BUG on non-linear SKB (multilink receive)Ben McKeegan2009-11-171-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PPP does not correctly call pskb_may_pull() on all necessary receive paths before reading the PPP protocol, thus causing PPP to report seemingly random 'unsupported protocols' and eventually trigger BUG_ON(skb->len < skb->data_len) in skb_pull_rcsum() when receiving multilink protocol in non-linear skbs. ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() does not call pskb_may_pull() before reading the protocol number. For the non-mp receive path this is not a problem, as this check is done in ppp_receive_frame(). For the mp receive path, ppp_mp_reconstruct() usually copies the data into a new linear skb. However, in the case where the frame is made up of a single mp fragment, the mp header is pulled and the existing skb used. This skb was then passed to ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() without checking if the encapsulated protocol header could safely be read.

| * ppp: fix lost fragments in ppp_mp_explode() (resubmit)Ben McKeegan2009-08-021-16/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the corner cases where the sum of MTU of the free channels (adjusted for fragmentation overheads) is less than the MTU of PPP link. There are at least 3 situations where this case might arise: - some of the channels are busy - the multilink session is running in a degraded state (i.e. with less than its full complement of active channels) - by design, where multilink protocol is being used to artificially increase the effective link MTU of a single link. Without this patch, at most 1 fragment is ever sent per free channel for a given PPP frame and any remaining part of the PPP frame that does not fit into those fragments is silently discarded. This patch restores the original behaviour which was broken by commit 9c705260feea6ae329bc6b6d5f6d2ef0227eda0a 'ppp:ppp_mp_explode() redesign'. Once all 'free' channels have been given a fragment, an additional fragment is queued to each available channel in turn, as many times as necessary, until the entire PPP frame has been consumed.

* ppp: ppp_mp_explode() redesignGabriele Paoloni2009-03-141-91/+120
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found the PPP subsystem to not work properly when connecting channels with different speeds to the same bundle. Problem Description: As the "ppp_mp_explode" function fragments the sk_buff buffer evenly among the PPP channels that are connected to a certain PPP unit to make up a bundle, if we are transmitting using an upper layer protocol that requires an Ack before sending the next packet (like TCP/IP for example), we will have a bandwidth bottleneck on the slowest channel of the bundle. Let's clarify by an example. Let's consider a scenario where we have two PPP links making up a bundle: a slow link (10KB/sec) and a fast link (1000KB/sec) working at the best (full bandwidth). On the top we have a TCP/IP stack sending a 1000 Bytes sk_buff buffer down to the PPP subsystem. The "ppp_mp_explode" function will divide the buffer in two fragments of 500B each (we are neglecting all the headers, crc, flags etc?.). Before the TCP/IP stack sends out the next buffer, it will have to wait for the ACK response from the remote peer, so it will have to wait for both fragments to have been sent over the two PPP links, received by the remote peer and reconstructed. The resulting behaviour is that, rather than having a bundle working @1010KB/sec (the sum of the channels bandwidths), we'll have a bundle working @20KB/sec (the double of the slowest channels bandwidth). Problem Solution: The problem has been solved by redesigning the "ppp_mp_explode" function in such a way to make it split the sk_buff buffer according to the speeds of the underlying PPP channels (the speeds of the serial interfaces respectively attached to the PPP channels). Referring to the above example, the redesigned "ppp_mp_explode" function will now divide the 1000 Bytes buffer into two fragments whose sizes are set according to the speeds of the channels where they are going to be sent on (e.g . 10 Byets on 10KB/sec channel and 990 Bytes on 1000KB/sec channel). The reworked function grants the same performances of the original one in optimal working conditions (i.e. a bundle made up of PPP links all working at the same speed), while greatly improving performances on the bundles made up of channels working at different speeds.

* ppp_generic: use stats from net_device structurePaulius Zaleckas2008-04-241-29/+19Star
| | | | | | | | | | Use stats which now is in the net_device instead of one declared in ppp structure. Kill ppp_net_stats function, because by default it is used identical internal_stats function from net/core/dev.c Signed-of-by: Paulius Zaleckas <paulius.zaleckas@teltonika.lt> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [PPP]: Sparse warning fixes.Stephen Hemminger2008-01-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Fix a bunch of warnings in PPP and related drivers. Mostly because sparse doesn't like it when the the function is only marked private in the forward declaration. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [PPP]: Fix output buffer size in ppp_decompress_frame().Konstantin Sharlaimov2007-08-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses the issue with "osize too small" errors in mppe encryption. The patch fixes the issue with wrong output buffer size being passed to ppp decompression routine. -------------------- As pointed out by Suresh Mahalingam, the issue addressed by ppp-fix-osize-too-small-errors-when-decoding patch is not fully resolved yet. The size of allocated output buffer is correct, however it size passed to ppp->rcomp->decompress in ppp_generic.c if wrong. The patch fixes that. -------------------- Signed-off-by: Konstantin Sharlaimov <konstantin.sharlaimov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
