2010-11-22cfg80211: Fix regulatory bug with multiple cards and delaysLuis R. Rodriguez1-9/+43
When two cards are connected with the same regulatory domain if CRDA had a delayed response then cfg80211's own set regulatory domain would still be the world regulatory domain. There was a bug on cfg80211's logic such that it assumed that once you pegged a request as the last request it was already the currently set regulatory domain. This would mean we would race setting a stale regulatory domain to secondary cards which had the same regulatory domain since the alpha2 would match. We fix this by processing each regulatory request atomically, and only move on to the next one once we get it fully processed. In the case CRDA is not present we will simply world roam. This issue is only present when you have a slow system and the CRDA processing is delayed. Because of this it is not a known regression. Without this fix when a delay is present with CRDA the second card would end up with an intersected regulatory domain and not allow it to use the channels it really is designed for. When two cards with two different regulatory domains were inserted you'd end up rejecting the second card's regulatory domain request. This fails with mac80211_hswim's regtest=2 (two requests, same alpha2) and regtest=3 (two requests, different alpha2) module parameter options. This was reproduced and tested against mac80211_hwsim using this CRDA delayer: #!/bin/bash echo $COUNTRY >> /tmp/log sleep 2 /sbin/crda.orig And these regulatory tests: modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=2 modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=3 Reported-by: Mark Mentovai <mark@moxienet.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

Extend nl80211 to report an exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) of the signal value. Since the signal value usually fluctuates between different packets, an average can be more useful than the value of the last packet. This uses the recently added generic EWMA library function.

2010-11-17mac80211: fix powersaving clients racesJohannes Berg4-7/+29
The code to handle powersaving stations has a race: when the powersave flag is lifted from a station, we could transmit a packet that is being processed for TX at the same time right away, even if there are other frames queued for it. This would cause frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only under the appropriate lock that blocks TX. Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a station while frames for it are on the HW queue is never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag for this appropriately. Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if the driver unblocks an already unblocked station.

2010-11-16mac80211: Add function to get probe request template for current APJuuso Oikarinen3-5/+46
Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss, for example.) For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also the supported rate IE's. This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.

2010-11-16cfg80211: Add nl80211 antenna configurationBruno Randolf1-1/+30
Allow setting of TX and RX antennas configuration via nl80211. The antenna configuration is defined as a bitmap of allowed antennas to use. This API can be used to mask out antennas which are not attached or should not be used for other reasons like regulatory concerns or special setups. Separate bitmaps are used for RX and TX to allow configuring different antennas for receiving and transmitting. Each bitmap is 32 bit long, each bit representing one antenna, starting with antenna 1 at the first bit. If an antenna bit is set, this means the driver is allowed to use this antenna for RX or TX respectively; if the bit is not set the hardware is not allowed to use this antenna. Using bitmaps has the benefit of allowing for a flexible configuration interface which can support many different configurations and which can be used for 802.11n as well as non-802.11n devices. Instead of relying on some hardware specific assumptions, drivers can use this information to know which antennas are actually attached to the system and derive their capabilities based on that. 802.11n devices should enable or disable chains, based on which antennas are present (If all antennas belonging to a particular chain are disabled, the entire chain should be disabled). HT capabilities (like STBC, TX Beamforming, Antenna selection) should be calculated based on the available chains after applying the antenna masks. Should a 802.11n device have diversity antennas attached to one of their chains, diversity can be enabled or disabled based on the antenna information. Non-802.11n drivers can use the antenna masks to select RX and TX antennas and to enable or disable antenna diversity. While covering chainmasks for 802.11n and the standard "legacy" modes "fixed antenna 1", "fixed antenna 2" and "diversity" this API also allows more rare, but useful configurations as follows: 1) Send on antenna 1, receive on antenna 2 (or vice versa). This can be used to have a low gain antenna for TX in order to keep within the regulatory constraints and a high gain antenna for RX in order to receive weaker signals ("speak softly, but listen harder"). This can be useful for building long-shot outdoor links. Another usage of this setup is having a low-noise pre-amplifier on antenna 1 and a power amplifier on the other antenna. This way transmit noise is mostly kept out of the low noise receive channel. (This would be bitmaps: tx 1 rx 2). 2) Another similar setup is: Use RX diversity on both antennas, but always send on antenna 1. Again that would allow us to benefit from a higher gain RX antenna, while staying within the legal limits. (This would be: tx 0 rx 3). 3) And finally there can be special experimental setups in research and development even with pre 802.11n hardware where more than 2 antennas are available. It's good to keep the API simple, yet flexible. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> -- v7: Made bitmasks 32 bit wide and rebased to latest wireless-testing. Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-11-15cfg80211: fix disabling channels based on hintsLuis R. Rodriguez1-1/+19
After a module loads you will have loaded the world roaming regulatory domain or a custom regulatory domain. Further regulatory hints are welcomed and should be respected unless the regulatory hint is coming from a country IE as the IEEE spec allows for a country IE to be a subset of what is allowed by the local regulatory agencies. So disable all channels that do not fit a regulatory domain sent from a unless the hint is from a country IE and the country IE had no information about the band we are currently processing. This fixes a few regulatory issues, for example for drivers that depend on CRDA and had no 5 GHz freqencies allowed were not properly disabling 5 GHz at all, furthermore it also allows users to restrict devices further as was intended. If you recieve a country IE upon association we will also disable the channels that are not allowed if the country IE had at least one channel on the respective band we are procesing. This was the original intention behind this design but it was completely overlooked...

2010-10-30RDS: Let rds_message_alloc_sgs() return NULLAndy Grover3-0/+17
Even with the previous fix, we still are reading the iovecs once to determine SGs needed, and then again later on. Preallocating space for sg lists as part of rds_message seemed like a good idea but it might be better to not do this. While working to redo that code, this patch attempts to protect against userspace rewriting the rds_iovec array between the first and second accesses. The consequences of this would be either a too-small or too-large sg list array. Too large is not an issue.

Implement stack-based storage for small numbers of iovecs, based on net/socket.c, to save an alloc in the extremely common case. Although this patch reduces iovec copies in cmsg_rdma_args to 1, we still do another one in rds_rdma_extra_size. Getting rid of that one will be trickier, so it'll be a separate patch.

As reported by Thomas Pollet, the rdma page counting can overflow. We get the rdma sizes in 64-bit unsigned entities, but then limit it to UINT_MAX bytes and shift them down to pages (so with a possible "+1" for an unaligned address). So each individual page count fits comfortably in an 'unsigned int' (not even close to overflowing into signed), but as they are added up, they might end up resulting in a signed return value. Which would be wrong. Catch the case of tot_pages turning negative, and return the appropriate error code.

I noticed two small issues in mac80211/debugfs_key.c::key_key_read while reading through the code. Patch below. The key_key_read() function returns ssize_t and the value that's actually returned is the return value of simple_read_from_buffer() which also returns ssize_t, so let's hold the return value in a ssize_t local variable rather than a int one. Also, memory is allocated dynamically with kmalloc() which can fail, but the return value of kmalloc() is not checked, so we may end up operating on a null pointer further on.

2010-10-28net: Limit socket I/O iovec total length to INT_MAX.David S. Miller2-15/+15
This helps protect us from overflow issues down in the individual protocol sendmsg/recvmsg handlers. Once we hit INT_MAX we truncate out the rest of the iovec by setting the iov_len members to zero. This works because: 1) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets, partial writes are allowed and the application will just continue with another write to send the rest of the data. 2) For datagram oriented sockets, where there must be a one-to-one correspondance between write() calls and packets on the wire, INT_MAX is going to be far larger than the packet size limit the protocol is going to check for and signal with -EMSGSIZE.

2010-10-28dccp: Refine the wait-for-ccid mechanismGerrit Renker4-54/+89
This extends the existing wait-for-ccid routine so that it may be used with different types of CCID, addressing the following problems: 1) The queue-drain mechanism only works with rate-based CCIDs. If CCID-2 for example has a full TX queue and becomes network-limited just as the application wants to close, then waiting for CCID-2 to become unblocked could lead to an indefinite delay (i.e., application "hangs"). 2) Since each TX CCID in turn uses a feedback mechanism, there may be changes in its sending policy while the queue is being drained. This can lead to further delays during which the application will not be able to terminate. 3) The minimum wait time for CCID-3/4 can be expected to be the queue length times the current inter-packet delay. For example if tx_qlen=100 and a delay of 15 ms is used for each packet, then the application would have to wait for a minimum of 1.5 seconds before being allowed to exit. 4) There is no way for the user/application to control this behaviour. It would be good to use the timeout argument of dccp_close() as an upper bound. Then the maximum time that an application is willing to wait for its CCIDs to can be set via the SO_LINGER option. These problems are addressed by giving the CCID a grace period of up to the `timeout' value. The wait-for-ccid function is, as before, used when the application (a) has read all the data in its receive buffer and (b) if SO_LINGER was set with a non-zero linger time, or (c) the socket is either in the OPEN (active close) or in the PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ state (client application closes after receiving CloseReq). In addition, there is a catch-all case of __skb_queue_purge() after waiting for the CCID. This is necessary since the write queue may still have data when (a) the host has been passively-closed, (b) abnormal termination (unread data, zero linger time), (c) wait-for-ccid could not finish within the given time limit.

2010-10-28dccp: Extend CCID packet dequeueing interfaceGerrit Renker2-57/+86
This extends the packet dequeuing interface of dccp_write_xmit() to allow 1. CCIDs to take care of timing when the next packet may be sent; 2. delayed sending (as before, with an inter-packet gap up to 65.535 seconds). The main purpose is to take CCID-2 out of its polling mode (when it is network- limited, it tries every millisecond to send, without interruption). The mode of operation for (2) is as follows: * new packet is enqueued via dccp_sendmsg() => dccp_write_xmit(), * ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() detects that it may not send (e.g. window full), * it signals this condition via `CCID_PACKET_WILL_DEQUEUE_LATER', * dccp_write_xmit() returns without further action; * after some time the wait-condition for CCID becomes true, * that CCID schedules the tasklet, * tasklet function calls ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() via dccp_write_xmit(), * since the wait-condition is now true, ccid_hc_tx_packet() returns "send now", * packet is sent, and possibly more (since dccp_write_xmit() loops). Code reuse: the taskled function calls dccp_write_xmit(), the timer function reduces to a wrapper around the same code. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-10-28dccp: Return-value convention of hc_tx_send_packet()Gerrit Renker2-9/+37
This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches. Currently the convention is * values < 0 mean error, * a value == 0 means "send now", and * a value x > 0 means "send in x milliseconds". The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values. In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds, corresponding to 65.535 seconds. This is possible since in CCID-3/4 the maximum possible inter-packet gap is fixed at t_mbi = 64 sec. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-10-289p: Add datasync to client side TFSYNC/RFSYNC for dotlVenkateswararao Jujjuri (JV)1-3/+4
SYNOPSIS size[4] Tfsync tag[2] fid[4] datasync[4] size[4] Rfsync tag[2] DESCRIPTION The Tfsync transaction transfers ("flushes") all modified in-core data of file identified by fid to the disk device (or other permanent storage device) where that file resides. If datasync flag is specified data will be fleshed but does not flush modified metadata unless that metadata is needed in order to allow a subsequent data retrieval to be correctly handled.

2010-10-28net/9p: Add waitq to VirtIO transport.Venkateswararao Jujjuri (JV)2-8/+41
If there is not enough space for the PDU on the VirtIO ring, current code returns -EIO propagating the error to user. This patch introduced a wqit_queue on the channel, and lets the process wait on this queue until VirtIO ring frees up.
