| * batman-adv: Replace version info instead of appending themSven Eckelmann2011-07-054-21/+9Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The version number of modules build outside of the tree can get revision numbers added. This is useful to give hints about the revision of a distribution package and the used patchset. The prepended source number or branch name doesn't add any additional information which would help to identify problems and can therefore be omitted.

| * batman-adv: aggregation checks should use the primary_if pointerMarek Lindner2011-07-051-5/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The packet aggregation needs to ensure that only compatible packets are aggregated. Some of the checks are based on the interface number while assuming that the first interface also is the primary interface which is not always the case. This patch addresses the issue by using the primary_if pointer. Reported-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
| * batman-adv: broadcast primary OGM on all active hard-interfacesMarek Lindner2011-07-051-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The primary interface OGM has to be broadcasted on all hard-interfaces even if the primary interface is not the first interface (if_num = 0). Therefore the code has to compare the originating interface with the primary interface instead of checking the if_num.

| * batman-adv: unify flags for tt_change/tt_local_entry/tt_global_entryAntonio Quartulli2011-07-054-15/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tt_local_entry structure now has a 'flags' field. This helps to unify the flags format to all the client related structures (tt_global_entry and tt_change). The 'never_purge' field is now encoded in the 'flags' one. To optimise the usage of this field, its length has been increased to 16bit in order to use the eight leading bits (from 0 to 7) to store flags that have to be sent on the wire, while the eight ending ones are used for local computation only. Moreover 'enum tt_change_flags' is now called 'enum tt_client_flags' and the defined values apply to the tt_local_entry, tt_global_entry and the tt_change 'flags' field.

This code path is hit when receiving a packet meant for a multicast address, and decryption is performed in HW.

This leads to a situation where the session is configured locally, but doesn't exist on the remote side. Subsequent ADDBA requests are declined by mac80211. Fix this by assuming the session state of the initiator is the correct one. When receiving an unexpected ADDBA request on a TID with an active Rx BA session, delete the existing one and establish a new session.

* | | | | | dccp ccid-2: Perform congestion-window validationGerrit Renker2011-07-042-3/+91

Hence an exponential growth, if it does not reflect the actual network conditions, can quickly lead to instability. This patch adds congestion-window validation (RFC2861) to CCID-2: * cwnd is constrained if the sender is application limited; * cwnd is reduced after a long idle period, as suggested in the '90 paper by Van Jacobson, in RFC 2581 (sec. 4.1); * cwnd is never reduced below the RFC 3390 initial window. As marked in the comments, the code is actually almost a direct copy of the TCP congestion-window-validation algorithms. By continuing this work, it may in future be possible to use the TCP code (not possible at the moment). The mechanism can be turned off using a module parameter. Sampling of the currently-used window (moving-maximum) is however done constantly; this is used to determine the expected window, which can be exploited to regulate DCCP's Sequence Window value. This patch also sets slow-start-after-idle (RFC 4341, 5.1), i.e. it behaves like TCP when net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle = 1. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

Dependencies: the order of statements now better matches RFC 4340, 8.5, i.e. step 7 is before step 9 (previously 9 was before 7), and parsing options in step 8 (which may consume resources) now comes after step 7. 2. Sequence number checks are omitted if in state LISTEN/REQUEST, due to the note underneath the table in RFC 4340, 7.5.3. As a result, CCID processing is now indeed confined to OPEN/PARTOPEN states, i.e. congestion control is performed only on the flow of data packets. This avoids pathological cases of doing congestion control on those messages which set up and terminate the connection. 3. Packets are now passed on to Ack Vector / CCID processing only after - step 7 (receive unexpected packets), - step 9 (receive Reset), - step 13 (receive CloseReq), - step 14 (receive Close) and only if the state is PARTOPEN. This simplifies CCID processing: - in LISTEN/CLOSED the CCIDs are non-existent; - in RESPOND/REQUEST the CCIDs have not yet been negotiated; - in CLOSEREQ and active-CLOSING the node has already closed this socket; - in passive-CLOSING the client is waiting for its Reset. In the last case, RFC 4340, 8.3 leaves it open to ignore further incoming data, which is the approach taken here. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

If such a change occurred while a link dump took place, the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages of the same dump. Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a complete list of links and not miss any. Testing: I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set. I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the wireless tree. I just wanted to give this some testing right away.

This is needed if multiple DSA chips are used in a device. Without this patch the chip will drop any DSA packets not destined for it. This patch only enables the forwarding of DSA packets if multiple chips are used in the switch configuration. Signed-off-by: Barry Grussling <barry@grussling.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

These results are for a 10Gige IXGBE intel nic - on another i5 machine, very similar specs to the one used in the netconf2011 results. It turns out - this is a hell lot worse than dummy and so this patch is even more beneficial for 10G. Test setup: ---------- System under test sending packets out. Additional box connected directly dropping packets. Installed prio qdisc on the eth device and default netdev default length of 1000 used as is. The 3 prio bands each were set to 100 (didnt factor in the results). 5 packet runs were made and the middle 3 picked. results ------- The "cpu" column indicates the which cpu the sample was taken on, The "Pkt runx" carries the number of packets a cpu dequeued when forced to be in the "dequeuer" role. The "avg" for each run is the number of times each cpu should be a "dequeuer" if the system was fair. 3.0-rc4 (plain) cpu Pkt run1 Pkt run2 Pkt run3 ================================================ cpu0 21853354 21598183 22199900 cpu1 431058 473476 393159 cpu2 481975 477529 458466 cpu3 23261406 23412299 22894315 avg 11506948 11490372 11486460 3.0-rc4 with patch and default weight 64 cpu Pkt run1 Pkt run2 Pkt run3 ================================================ cpu0 13205312 13109359 13132333 cpu1 10189914 10159127 10122270 cpu2 10213871 10124367 10168722 cpu3 13165760 13164767 13096705 avg 11693714 11639405 11630008 As you can see the system is still not perfect but is a lot better than what it was before... At the moment we use the old backlog weight, weight_p which is 64 packets. It seems to be reasonably fine with that value. The system could be made more fair if we reduce the weight_p (as per my presentation), but we are going to affect the shared backlog weight. Unless deemed necessary, I think the default value is fine. If not we could add yet another knob. Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
