The reason is that if we didn't have a routing cache, then there would be no way to lookup all of the active cached routes hanging off of sockets, tunnels, IPSEC bundles, etc. Consider the case where we created a cached route, but no inetpeer entry existed and also we were not asked to pre-COW the route metrics and therefore did not force the creation a new inetpeer entry. If we later get a PMTU message, or a redirect, and store this information in a new inetpeer entry, there is no way to teach that cached route about the newly existing inetpeer entry. The facilities implemented here handle this problem. First we create a generation ID. When we create a cached route of any kind, we remember the generation ID at the time of attachment. Any time we force-create an inetpeer entry in response to new path information, we bump that generation ID. The dst_ops->check() callback is where the knowledge of this event is propagated. If the global generation ID does not equal the one stored in the cached route, and the cached route has not attached to an inetpeer yet, we look it up and attach if one is found. Now that we've updated the cached route's information, we update the route's generation ID too. This clears the way for implementing PMTU and redirects directly in the inetpeer cache. There is absolutely no need to consult cached route information in order to maintain this information. At this point nothing bumps the inetpeer genids, that comes in the later changes which handle PMTUs and redirects using inetpeers. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The scheme we will use is that we will remember the pre-ICMP value held in the metrics or route entry, and then at expiration time we will restore that value. In this way PMTU expiration does not kill off the cached route as is done currently. Redirect information is permanent, or at least until another redirect is received. Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | | | | ipsec: allow to align IPv4 AH on 32 bitsNicolas Dichtel2011-02-08

This is not RFC compliant (see RFC4302, Section 3.3.3.2.1), it should be aligned on 32 bits. For most of the authentication algorithms, the ICV size is 96 bits. The AH header alignment on 32 or 64 bits gives the same results. However for SHA-256-128 for instance, the wrong 64 bit alignment results in adding useless padding in IPv4 AH, which is forbidden by the RFC. To avoid breaking backward compatibility, we use a new flag (XFRM_STATE_ALIGN4) do change original behavior.

| | * | | | mac80211: Add testing functionality for TKIPJouni Malinen2011-02-03

In order to test that behavior, it is useful to be able to send out TKIP frames with incorrect Michael MIC. This testing behavior has minimal effect on the TX path, so it can be added to mac80211 for convenient use. The interface for using this functionality is a file in mac80211 netdev debugfs (tkip_mic_test). Writing a MAC address to the file makes mac80211 generate a dummy data frame that will be sent out using invalid Michael MIC value. In AP mode, the address needs to be for one of the associated stations or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to use a broadcast frame. In station mode, the address can be anything, e.g., the current BSSID. It should be noted that this functionality works correctly only when associated and using TKIP.

This is completely unnecessary code duplication. Since we now remember the fib_table and the head of the fib alias list of the default route, we can implement one single generic version of this routine. Looking at the fib_hash implementation you may get the impression that it's possible for there to be multiple top-level routes in the table for the default route. The truth is, it isn't, the insert code will only allow one entry to exist in the zero prefix hash table, because all keys evaluate to zero and all keys in a hash table must be unique.

Because there are now overlapping channel numbers in the 2GHz and 5GHz band we can't map from channel to frequency without knowing the band. This is no problem as in most contexts we know the band. In places where we don't know the band (and WEXT compatibility) we assume the 2GHz band for channels below 14. This patch does not implement all channel to frequency mappings defined in 802.11, it's just an extension for 802.11j 20MHz channels. 5MHz and 10MHz channels as well as 802.11y channels have been omitted.

This is fine, since it's the max, but might as well be set to zero instead since it doesn't have any information. However, drivers might have that information, so allow them to set a variable giving it, which will then be used. The default of zero will be fine since to the peer that means we don't know and it will just use its own limit for the buffer size.

It will always request a max buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0 instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it isn't possible to honour this request. In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That way the driver can limit the number of subframes in aggregates appropriately. Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the addition of the new argument -- they all need to be updated separately to use this variable!

Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location. If a routing table entry exists, it will point there. Else it will point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'. The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store more states. For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc. However future enhancements will change this to place the writable metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing. Very likely this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache. Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail if we cannot COW the metrics successfully. But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and increase cache locality especially for routing workloads. In those cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written to. TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit. But that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics move to a more sharable location. Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout was necessary. Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state, as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks. The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into the writeable cacheline. This is OK since we are always accessing the flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the reference count. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This shortens the lock's held time in __dev_xmit_skb(). This permits more qdiscs to get TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS status, avoiding lot of cache misses and so reducing latencies.

I now move TCQ_F_THROTTLED bit too, so that we let first cache line read mostly, and shared by all cpus. This should speedup HTB/CBQ for example. Not using test_bit()/__clear_bit()/__test_and_set_bit allows to use an "unsigned int" for __state container, reducing by 8 bytes Qdisc size. Introduce helpers to hide implementation details.
