14b9815af3 cfg80211: add support for custom firmware regulatory solutions
This adds API to cfg80211 to allow wireless drivers to inform
us if their firmware can handle regulatory considerations *and*
they cannot map these regulatory domains to an ISO / IEC 3166
alpha2. In these cases we skip the first regulatory hint instead
of expecting the driver to build their own regulatory structure,
providing us with an alpha2, or using the reg_notifier().

3f2355cb91 cfg80211/mac80211: Add 802.11d support
This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage
within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse
the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are
associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment
(indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE.

To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use
a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP
provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed
on the same country.

A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE
as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two
different countries.

In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country
the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory
domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another
intersection will be performed.

CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA
present.

832d11c5cd tcp: Try to restore large SKBs while SACK processing
During SACK processing, most of the benefits of TSO are eaten by
the SACK blocks that one-by-one fragment SKBs to MSS sized chunks.
Then we're in problems when cleanup work for them has to be done
when a large cumulative ACK comes. Try to return back to pre-split
state already while more and more SACK info gets discovered by
combining newly discovered SACK areas with the previous skb if
that's SACKed as well.

This approach has a number of benefits:

1) The processing overhead is spread more equally over the RTT
2) Write queue has less skbs to process (affect everything
   which has to walk in the queue past the sacked areas)
3) Write queue is consistent whole the time, so no other parts
   of TCP has to be aware of this (this was not the case with
   some other approach that was, well, quite intrusive all
   around).
4) Clean_rtx_queue can release most of the pages using single
   put_page instead of previous PAGE_SIZE/mss+1 calls

In case a hole is fully filled by the new SACK block, we attempt
to combine the next skb too which allows construction of skbs
that are even larger than what tso split them to and it handles
hole per on every nth patterns that often occur during slow start
overshoot pretty nicely. Though this to be really useful also
a retransmission would have to get lost since cumulative ACKs
advance one hole at a time in the most typical case.

TODO: handle upwards only merging. That should be rather easy
when segment is fully sacked but I'm leaving that as future
work item (it won't make very large difference anyway since
this current approach already covers quite a lot of normal
cases).

I was earlier thinking of some sophisticated way of tracking
timestamps of the first and the last segment but later on
realized that it won't be that necessary at all to store the
timestamp of the last segment. The cases that can occur are
basically either:
  1) ambiguous => no sensible measurement can be taken anyway
  2) non-ambiguous is due to reordering => having the timestamp
     of the last segment there is just skewing things more off
     than does some good since the ack got triggered by one of
     the holes (besides some substle issues that would make
     determining right hole/skb even harder problem). Anyway,
     it has nothing to do with this change then.

I choose to route some abnormal looking cases with goto noop,
some could be handled differently (eg., by stopping the
walking at that skb but again). In general, they either
shouldn't happen at all or are rare enough to make no difference
in practice.

In theory this change (as whole) could cause some macroscale
regression (global) because of cache misses that are taken over
the round-trip time but it gets very likely better because of much
less (local) cache misses per other write queue walkers and the
big recovery clearing cumulative ack.

Worth to note that these benefits would be very easy to get also
without TSO/GSO being on as long as the data is in pages so that
we can merge them. Currently I won't let that happen because
DSACK splitting at fragment that would mess up pcounts due to
sk_can_gso in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs. Once DSACKs fragments gets
avoided, we have some conditions that can be made less strict.

TODO: I will probably have to convert the excessive pointer
passing to struct sacktag_state... :-)

My testing revealed that considerable amount of skbs couldn't
be shifted because they were cloned (most likely still awaiting
tx reclaim)...

[The rest is considering future work instead since I got
repeatably EFAULT to tcpdump's recvfrom when I added
pskb_expand_head to deal with clones, so I separated that
into another, later patch]

...To counter that, I gave up on the fifth advantage:

5) When growing previous SACK block, less allocs for new skbs
   are done, basically a new alloc is needed only when new hole
   is detected and when the previous skb runs out of frags space

...which now only happens of if reclaim is fast enough to dispose
the clone before the SACK block comes in (the window is RTT long),
otherwise we'll have to alloc some.

With clones being handled I got these numbers (will be somewhat
worse without that), taken with fine-grained mibs:

                  TCPSackShifted 398
                   TCPSackMerged 877

2e77d89b2f net: avoid a pair of dst_hold()/dst_release() in ip_append_data()
We can reduce pressure on dst entry refcount that slowdown UDP transmit
path on SMP machines. This pressure is visible on RTP servers when
delivering content to mediagateways, especially big ones, handling
thousand of streams. Several cpus send UDP frames to the same
destination, hence use the same dst entry.

This patch makes ip_append_data() eventually steal the refcount its
callers had to take on the dst entry.

This doesnt avoid all refcounting, but still gives speedups on SMP,
on UDP/RAW transmit path

1f87e235e6 eth: Declare an optimized compare_ether_addr_64bits() function
Linus mentioned we could try to perform long word operations, even
on potentially unaligned addresses, on x86 at least. David mentioned
the HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS test to handle this on all
arches that have efficient unailgned accesses.

I tried this idea and got nice assembly on 32 bits:

158:   33 82 38 01 00 00       xor    0x138(%edx),%eax
15e:   33 8a 34 01 00 00       xor    0x134(%edx),%ecx
164:   c1 e0 10                shl    $0x10,%eax
167:   09 c1                   or     %eax,%ecx
169:   74 0b                   je     176 <eth_type_trans+0x87>

And very nice assembly on 64 bits of course (one xor, one shl)

Nice oprofile improvement in eth_type_trans(), 0.17 % instead of 0.41 %,
expected since we remove 8 instructions on a fast path.

This patch implements a compare_ether_addr_64bits() function, that
uses the CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS ifdef to efficiently
perform the 6 bytes comparison on all capable arches.

c25eb3bfb9 net: Convert TCP/DCCP listening hash tables to use RCU
This is the last step to be able to perform full RCU lookups
in __inet_lookup() : After established/timewait tables, we
add RCU lookups to listening hash table.

The only trick here is that a socket of a given type (TCP ipv4,
TCP ipv6, ...) can now flight between two different tables
(established and listening) during a RCU grace period, so we
must use different 'nulls' end-of-chain values for two tables.

We define a large value :

#define LISTENING_NULLS_BASE (1U << 29)

So that slots in listening table are guaranteed to have different
end-of-chain values than slots in established table. A reader can
still detect it finished its lookup in the right chain.

The main difference to the algorithm described in "Efficient Fair Queueing
using Deficit Round Robin" is that this implementation doesn't drop packets
from the longest queue on overrun because its classful and limits are
handled by each individual child qdisc.

0c19b0adb8 netlink: avoid memset of 0 bytes sparse warning
A netlink attribute padding of zero triggers this sparse warning:

include/linux/netlink.h:245:8: warning: memset with byte count of 0

Avoid the memset when the size parameter is constant and requires no padding.

d214c7537b filter: add SKF_AD_NLATTR_NEST to look for nested attributes
SKF_AD_NLATTR allows us to find the first matching attribute in a
stream of netlink attributes from one offset to the end of the
netlink message. This is not suitable to look for a specific
matching inside a set of nested attributes.

For example, in ctnetlink messages, if we look for the CTA_V6_SRC
attribute in a message that talks about an IPv4 connection,
SKF_AD_NLATTR returns the offset of CTA_STATUS which has the same
value of CTA_V6_SRC but outside the nest. To differenciate
CTA_STATUS and CTA_V6_SRC, we would have to make assumptions on the
size of the attribute and the usual offset, resulting in horrible
BSF code.

This patch adds SKF_AD_NLATTR_NEST, which is a variant of
SKF_AD_NLATTR, that looks for an attribute inside the limits of
a nested attributes, but not further.

This patch validates that we have enough room to look for the
nested attributes - based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

5caea4ea70 net: listening_hash get a spinlock per bucket
This patch prepares RCU migration of listening_hash table for
TCP/DCCP protocols.

listening_hash table being small (32 slots per protocol), we add
a spinlock for each slot, instead of a single rwlock for whole table.

This should reduce hold time of readers, and writers concurrency.

d314774cf2 netdev: network device operations infrastructure
This patch changes the network device internal API to move adminstrative
operations out of the network device structure and into a separate structure.

This patch involves some hackery to maintain compatablity between the
new and old model, so all 300+ drivers don't have to be changed at once.
For drivers that aren't converted yet, the netdevice_ops virt function list
still resides in the net_device structure. For old protocols, the new
net_device_ops are copied out to the old net_device pointers.

After the transistion is completed the nag message can be changed to
an WARN_ON, and the compatiablity code can be made configurable.

Some function pointers aren't moved:
* destructor can't be in net_device_ops because
  it may need to be referenced after the module is unloaded.
* neighbor setup is manipulated in a couple of places that need special
  consideration
* hard_start_xmit is in the fast path for transmit.

f481891fdc cpuset: update top cpuset's mems after adding a node
After adding a node into the machine, top cpuset's mems isn't updated.

By reviewing the code, we found that the update function

  cpuset_track_online_nodes()

was invoked after node_states[N_ONLINE] changes.  It is wrong because
N_ONLINE just means node has pgdat, and if node has/added memory, we use
N_HIGH_MEMORY.  So, We should invoke the update function after
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] changes, just like its commit says.

This patch fixes it.  And we use notifier of memory hotplug instead of
direct calling of cpuset_track_online_nodes().

de11defebf reintroduce accept4
Introduce a new accept4() system call.  The addition of this system call
matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(), signalfd4(),
inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added new system calls
that differed from analogous traditional system calls in adding a flags
argument that can be used to access additional functionality.

The accept4() system call is exactly the same as accept(), except that
it adds a flags bit-mask argument.  Two flags are initially implemented.
(Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27 also had both of these flags.)

SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled
for the new file descriptor returned by accept4().  This is a useful
security feature to avoid leaking information in a multithreaded
program where one thread is doing an accept() at the same time as
another thread is doing a fork() plus exec().  More details here:
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File Descriptor Handling",
Ulrich Drepper).

The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK, which causes the O_NONBLOCK flag
to be enabled on the new open file description created by accept4().
(This flag is merely a convenience, saving the use of additional calls
fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL) to achieve the same result.

Here's a test program.  Works on x86-32.  Should work on x86-64, but
I (mtk) don't have a system to hand to test with.

It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of
SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies
that the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file
description returned by accept4().

I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2,
and it passes according to my test program.

8e3bad65a5 mac80211: remove ieee80211_notify_mac
Before ieee80211_notify_mac() was added, it was presented with the
use case of using it to tell mac80211 that the association may
have been lost because the firmware crashed/reset.

Since then, it has also been used by iwlwifi to (slightly) speed
up re-association after resume, a workaround around the fact that
mac80211 has no suspend/resume handling yet. It is also not used
by any other drivers, so clearly it cannot be necessary for "good
enough" suspend/resume.

Unfortunately, the callback suffers from a severe problem: It only
works for station mode. If suspend/resume happens while in IBSS or
any other mode (but station), then the callback is pointless.

Recently, it has created a number of locking issues, first because
it required rtnl locking rather than RCU due to calling sleeping
functions within the critical section, and now because it's called
by iwlwifi from the mac80211 workqueue that may not use the rtnl
because it is flushed under rtnl.
(cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12046)

I think, therefore, that we should take a step back, remove it
entirely for now and add the small feature it provided properly.
For suspend and resume we will need to introduce new hooks, and for
the case where the firmware was reset the driver will probably
simply just pretend it has done a suspend/resume cycle to get
mac80211 to reprogram the hardware completely, not just try to
connect to the current AP again in station mode. When doing so, we
will need to take into account locking issues and possibly defer
to schedule_work from within mac80211 for the resume operation,
while the suspend operation must be done directly.

Proper suspend/resume should also not necessarily try to reconnect
to the current AP, the time spent in suspend may have been short
enough to not be disconnected from the AP, mac80211 will detect
that the AP went out of range quickly if it did, and if the
association is lost then the AP will disassoc as soon as a data
frame is sent. We might also take into account WWOL then, and
have mac80211 program the hardware into such a mode where it is
available and requested.
