2011-11-29net: Add queue state xoff flag for stackTom Herbert

2011-11-29tcp: do not scale TSO segment size with reordering degreeNeal Cardwell
Since 2005 (c1b4a7e69576d65efc31a8cea0714173c2841244) tcp_tso_should_defer has been using tcp_max_burst() as a target limit for deciding how large to make outgoing TSO packets when not using sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor. But since 2008 (dd9e0dda66ba38a2ddd1405ac279894260dc5c36) tcp_max_burst() returns the reordering degree. We should not have tcp_tso_should_defer attempt to build larger segments just because there is more reordering. This commit splits the notion of deferral size used in TSO from the notion of burst size used in cwnd moderation, and returns the TSO deferral limit to its original value.

2011-11-29NET: NETROM: When adding a route verify length of mnemonic string.Ralf Baechle
struct nr_route_struct's mnemonic permits a string of up to 7 bytes to be used. If userland passes a not zero terminated string to the kernel adding a node to the routing table might result in the kernel attempting to read copy a too long string. Mnemonic is part of the NET/ROM routing protocol; NET/ROM routing table updates only broadcast 6 bytes. The 7th byte in the mnemonic array exists only as a \0 termination character for the kernel code's convenience. Fixed by rejecting mnemonic strings that have no terminating \0 in the first 7 characters. Do this test only NETROM_NODE to avoid breaking NETROM_NEIGH where userland might passing an uninitialized mnemonic field. Initial patch by Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>.

Emmanuel reported that my previous patches to enable handing all fragments to drivers at once triggered the warning that the SKB queue wasn't empty. This is happening when we actually queue up some frames and don't hand them to the driver (queues are stopped). The reason for it is that my code that splices the frame(s) over to the pending queue didn't re-init the local queue, so skb_queue_empty() was false.

2011-11-28mac80211: fix race between the AGG SM and the Tx data pathEmmanuel Grumbach
When a packet is supposed to sent be as an a-MPDU, mac80211 sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU to let the driver know. On the other hand, mac80211 configures the driver for aggregration with the ampdu_action callback. There is race between these two mechanisms since the following scenario can occur when the BA agreement is torn down: Tx softIRQ drv configuration ========== ================= check OPERATIONAL bit Set the TX_CTL_AMPDU bit in the packet clear OPERATIONAL bit stop Tx AGG Pass Tx packet to the driver. In that case the driver would get a packet with TX_CTL_AMPDU set although it has already been notified that the BA session has been torn down. To fix this, we need to synchronize all the Qdisc activity after we cleared the OPERATIONAL bit. After that step, all the following packets will be buffered until the driver reports it is ready to get new packets for this RA / TID. This buffering allows not to run into another race that would send packets with TX_CTL_AMPDU unset while the driver hasn't been requested to tear down the BA session yet. This race occurs in practice and iwlwifi complains with a WARN_ON when it happens.

2011-11-27tcp: skip cwnd moderation in TCP_CA_Open in tcp_try_to_openNeal Cardwell
The problem: Senders were overriding cwnd values picked during an undo by calling tcp_moderate_cwnd() in tcp_try_to_open(). The fix: Don't moderate cwnd in tcp_try_to_open() if we're in TCP_CA_Open, since doing so is generally unnecessary and specifically would override a DSACK-based undo of a cwnd reduction made in fast recovery. Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-11-27tcp: allow undo from reordered DSACKsNeal Cardwell
Previously, SACK-enabled connections hung around in TCP_CA_Disorder state while snd_una==high_seq, just waiting to accumulate DSACKs and hopefully undo a cwnd reduction. This could and did lead to the following unfortunate scenario: if some incoming ACKs advance snd_una beyond high_seq then we were setting undo_marker to 0 and moving to TCP_CA_Open, so if (due to reordering in the ACK return path) we shortly thereafter received a DSACK then we were no longer able to undo the cwnd reduction. The change: Simplify the congestion avoidance state machine by removing the behavior where SACK-enabled connections hung around in the TCP_CA_Disorder state just waiting for DSACKs. Instead, when snd_una advances to high_seq or beyond we typically move to TCP_CA_Open immediately and allow an undo in either TCP_CA_Open or TCP_CA_Disorder if we later receive enough DSACKs. Other patches in this series will provide other changes that are necessary to fully fix this problem. Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
