2009-09-11net: Add DEVTYPE support for Ethernet based devicesMarcel Holtmann3-0/+16
The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace application it is important to classify these devices correctly and not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid. To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available within udev. # cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent DEVTYPE=wlan INTERFACE=wlan0 IFINDEX=5 This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc. The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-09-11net: unix: fix sending fds in multiple buffersMiklos Szeredi1-1/+4
Kalle Olavi Niemitalo reported that: "..., when one process calls sendmsg once to send 43804 bytes of data and one file descriptor, and another process then calls recvmsg three times to receive the 16032+16032+11740 bytes, each of those recvmsg calls returns the file descriptor in the ancillary data. I confirmed this with strace. The behaviour differs from Linux 2.6.26, where reportedly only one of those recvmsg calls (I think the first one) returned the file descriptor." This bug was introduced by a patch from me titled "net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collector", commit 6209344f5. And the reason is, quoting Kalle: "Before your patch, unix_attach_fds() would set scm->fp = NULL, so that if the loop in unix_stream_sendmsg() ran multiple iterations, it could not call unix_attach_fds() again. But now, unix_attach_fds() leaves scm->fp unchanged, and I think this causes it to be called multiple times and duplicate the same file descriptors to each struct sk_buff." Fix this by introducing a flag that is cleared at the start and set when the fds attached to the first buffer. The resulting code should work equivalently to the one on 2.6.26.

2009-09-09net_sched: fix estimator lock selection for mq child qdiscsPatrick McHardy2-16/+27
When new child qdiscs are attached to the mq qdisc, they are actually attached as root qdiscs to the device queues. The lock selection for new estimators incorrectly picks the root lock of the existing and to be replaced qdisc, which results in a use-after-free once the old qdisc has been destroyed. Mark mq qdisc instances with a new flag and treat qdiscs attached to mq as children similar to regular root qdiscs. Additionally prevent estimators from being attached to the mq qdisc itself since it only updates its byte and packet counters during dumps.

2009-09-06net_sched: add classful multiqueue dummy schedulerDavid S. Miller4-13/+273
This patch adds a classful dummy scheduler which can be used as root qdisc for multiqueue devices and exposes each device queue as a child class. This allows to address queues individually and graft them similar to regular classes. Additionally it presents an accumulated view of the statistics of all real root qdiscs in the dummy root. Two new callbacks are added to the qdisc_ops and qdisc_class_ops: - cl_ops->select_queue selects the tx queue number for new child classes. - qdisc_ops->attach() overrides root qdisc device grafting to attach non-shared qdiscs to the queues.

2009-09-06net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_apiPatrick McHardy4-48/+31
Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from a few problems: - with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion. - all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a shared qdisc has been attached. - Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete. This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first (non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

In case of sch_prio and sch_multiq, the removed operations additionally checked for an invalid class. This is not necessary since the class argument can only orginate from ->get() or in case of ->change is 0 for creation of new classes, in which case ->change() incorrectly returned -ENOENT.

2009-09-04sctp: Sysctl configuration for IPv4 Address ScopingBhaskar Dutta3-6/+38
This patch introduces a new sysctl option to make IPv4 Address Scoping configurable <draft-stewart-tsvwg-sctp-ipv4-00.txt>. In networking environments where DNAT rules in iptables prerouting chains convert destination IP's to link-local/private IP addresses, SCTP connections fail to establish as the INIT chunk is dropped by the kernel due to address scope match failure. For example to support overlapping IP addresses (same IP address with different vlan id) a Layer-5 application listens on link local IP's, and there is a DNAT rule that maps the destination IP to a link local IP. Such applications never get the SCTP INIT if the address-scoping draft is strictly followed. This sysctl configuration allows SCTP to function in such unconventional networking environments. Sysctl options: 0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping draft altogether 1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping (default, current behavior) 2 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 private addresses in init/init-ack 3 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 link local address in init/init-ack Signed-off-by: Bhaskar Dutta <bhaskar.dutta@globallogic.com> Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

We had a bug that we never stored the user-defined value for MAXSEG when setting the value on an association. Thus future PMTU events ended up re-writing the frag point and increasing it past user limit. Additionally, when setting the option on the socket/endpoint, we effect all current associations, which is against spec. Now, we store the user 'maxseg' value along with the computed 'frag_point'. We inherit 'maxseg' from the socket at association creation and use it as an upper limit for 'frag_point' when its set. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

2009-09-04sctp: Try not to change a_rwnd when faking a SACK from SHUTDOWN.Vlad Yasevich1-3/+4
We currently set a_rwnd to 0 when faking a SACK from SHUTDOWN. This results in an hung association if the remote only uses SHUTDOWNs (which it's allowed to do) to acknowlege DATA when closing. The reason for that is that we simply honor the a_rwnd from the sack, but since we faked it to be 0, we enter 0-window probing. The fix is to use the peers old rwnd and add our flight size to it.

2009-09-04sctp: drop a_rwnd to 0 when receive buffer overflows.Vlad Yasevich1-2/+35
SCTP has a problem that when small chunks are used, it is possible to exhaust the receiver buffer without fully closing receive window. This happens due to all overhead that we have account for with small messages. To fix this, when receive buffer is exceeded, we'll drop the window to 0 and save the 'drop' portion. When application starts reading data and freeing up recevie buffer space, we'll wait until we've reached the 'drop' window and then add back this 'drop' one mtu at a time. This worked well in testing and under stress produced rather even recovery. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>
2009-09-04sctp: Clear fast_recovery on the transport when T3 timer expires.Vlad Yasevich1-0/+3
If T3 timer expires, we are retransmitting data due to timeout any any fast recovery is null and void. We can clear the fast recovery flag. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>
2009-09-04sctp: Fix error count increments that were results of HEARTBEATSVlad Yasevich2-5/+17
SCTP RFC 4960 states that unacknowledged HEARTBEATS count as errors agains a given transport or endpoint. As such, we should increment the error counts for only for unacknowledged HB, otherwise we detect failure too soon. This goes for both the overall error count and the path error count. Now, there is a difference in how the detection is done between the two. The path error detection is done after the increment, so to detect it properly, we actually need to exceed the path threshold. The overall error detection is done _BEFORE_ the increment. Thus to detect the failure, it's enough for the error count to match the threshold. This is why all the state functions use '>=' to detect failure, while path detection uses '>'. Thanks goes to Chunbo Luo <chunbo.luo@windriver.com> who first proposed patches to fix this issue and made me re-read the spec and the code to figure out how this cruft really works.
