2010-09-16mac80211: add p2p device type supportJohannes Berg1-1/+26
When a driver advertises p2p device support, mac80211 will handle it, but internally it will rewrite the interface type to STA/AP rather than P2P-STA/GO since otherwise a lot of paths need to be touched that are otherwise identical. A p2p boolean tells drivers whether or not a given interface will be used for p2p or not. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-09-15Phonet: resource routing backendRémi Denis-Courmont1-0/+5
When both destination device and object are nul, Phonet routes the packet according to the resource field. In fact, this is the most common pattern when sending Phonet "request" packets. In this case, the packet is delivered to whichever endpoint (socket) has registered the resource. This adds a new table so that Linux processes can register their Phonet sockets to Phonet resources, if they have adequate privileges. (Namespace support is not implemented at the moment.)

2010-09-15Phonet: remove dangling pipe if an endpoint is closed earlyRémi Denis-Courmont1-0/+5
Closing a pipe endpoint is not normally allowed by the Phonet pipe, other than as a side after-effect of removing the pipe between two endpoints. But there is no way to prevent Linux userspace processes from being killed or suffering from bugs, so this can still happen. We might as well forcefully close Phonet pipe endpoints then. The cellular modem supports only a few existing pipes at a time. So we really should not leak them. This change instructs the modem to destroy the pipe if either of the pipe's endpoint (Linux socket) is closed too early.

2010-09-08udp: add rehash on connect()Eric Dumazet2-0/+2
commit 30fff923 introduced in linux-2.6.33 (udp: bind() optimisation) added a secondary hash on UDP, hashed on (local addr, local port). Problem is that following sequence : fd = socket(...) connect(fd, &remote, ...) not only selects remote end point (address and port), but also sets local address, while UDP stack stored in secondary hash table the socket while its local address was INADDR_ANY (or ipv6 equivalent) Sequence is : - autobind() : choose a random local port, insert socket in hash tables [while local address is INADDR_ANY] - connect() : set remote address and port, change local address to IP given by a route lookup. When an incoming UDP frame comes, if more than 10 sockets are found in primary hash table, we switch to secondary table, and fail to find socket because its local address changed. One solution to this problem is to rehash datagram socket if needed. We add a new rehash(struct socket *) method in "struct proto", and implement this method for UDP v4 & v6, using a common helper. This rehashing only takes care of secondary hash table, since primary hash (based on local port only) is not changed.

2010-09-08ipvs: fix active FTPJulian Anastasov1-0/+3
- Do not create expectation when forwarding the PORT command to avoid blocking the connection. The problem is that nf_conntrack_ftp.c:help() tries to create the same expectation later in POST_ROUTING and drops the packet with "dropping packet" message after failure in nf_ct_expect_related. - Change ip_vs_update_conntrack to alter the conntrack for related connections from real server. If we do not alter the reply in this direction the next packet from client sent to vport 20 comes as NEW connection. We alter it but may be some collision happens for both conntracks and the second conntrack gets destroyed immediately. The connection stucks too.

2010-08-30TCP: update initial windows according to RFC 5681Gerrit Renker1-8/+2
This updates the use of larger initial windows, as originally specified in RFC 3390, to use the newer IW values specified in RFC 5681, section 3.1. The changes made in RFC 5681 are: a) the setting now is more clearly specified in units of segments (as the comments by John Heffner emphasized, this was not very clear in RFC 3390); b) for connections with 1095 < SMSS <= 2190 there is now a change: - RFC 3390 says that IW <= 4380, - RFC 5681 says that IW = 3 * SMSS <= 6570. Since RFC 3390 is older and "only" proposed standard, whereas the newer RFC 5681 is already draft standard, it seems preferable to use the newer IW variant.

2010-08-30tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option.Jerry Chu1-0/+1
This patch provides a "user timeout" support as described in RFC793. The socket option is also needed for the the local half of RFC5482 "TCP User Timeout Option". TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int, when > 0, to specify the maximum amount of time in ms that transmitted data may remain unacknowledged before TCP will forcefully close the corresponding connection and return ETIMEDOUT to the application. If 0 is given, TCP will continue to use the system default. Increasing the user timeouts allows a TCP connection to survive extended periods without end-to-end connectivity. Decreasing the user timeouts allows applications to "fail fast" if so desired. Otherwise it may take upto 20 minutes with the current system defaults in a normal WAN environment. The socket option can be made during any state of a TCP connection, but is only effective during the synchronized states of a connection (ESTABLISHED, FIN-WAIT-1, FIN-WAIT-2, CLOSE-WAIT, CLOSING, or LAST-ACK). Moreover, when used with the TCP keepalive (SO_KEEPALIVE) option, TCP_USER_TIMEOUT will overtake keepalive to determine when to close a connection due to keepalive failure. The option does not change in anyway when TCP retransmits a packet, nor when a keepalive probe will be sent. This option, like many others, will be inherited by an acceptor from its listener.

2010-08-10Bluetooth: Use 3-DH5 payload size for default ERTM max PDU sizeMat Martineau1-1/+1
The previous value of 672 for L2CAP_DEFAULT_MAX_PDU_SIZE is based on the default L2CAP MTU. That default MTU is calculated from the size of two DH5 packets, minus ACL and L2CAP b-frame header overhead. ERTM is used with newer basebands that typically support larger 3-DH5 packets, and i-frames and s-frames have more header overhead. With clean RF conditions, basebands will typically attempt to use 1021-byte 3-DH5 packets for maximum throughput. Adjusting for 2 bytes of ACL headers plus 10 bytes of worst-case L2CAP headers yields 1009 bytes of payload. This PDU size imposes less overhead for header bytes and gives the baseband the option to choose 3-DH5 packets, but is small enough for ERTM traffic to interleave well with other L2CAP or SCO data. 672-byte payloads do not allow the most efficient over-the-air packet choice, and cannot achieve maximum throughput over BR/EDR.
