2010-09-03ipv6: add special mode accept_ra=2 to accept RA while configured as routerThomas Graf1-4/+14
The current IPv6 behavior is to not accept router advertisements while forwarding, i.e. configured as router. This does make sense, a router is typically not supposed to be auto configured. However there are exceptions and we should allow the current behavior to be overwritten. Therefore this patch enables the user to overrule the "if forwarding enabled then don't listen to RAs" rule by setting accept_ra to the special value of 2. An alternative would be to ignore the forwarding switch alltogether and solely accept RAs based on the value of accept_ra. However, I found that if not intended, accepting RAs as a router can lead to strange unwanted behavior therefore we it seems wise to only do so if the user explicitely asks for this behavior.

This function exists to clean-up after a hardware error or something similar. The restart is accomplished using the same infrastructure used to resume after a suspend. The suspend path cancels running scans, so it seems appropriate to do that here as well for software-based scans.

2010-08-31mac80211: Do not generate CQM events based on first Beacon framesJouni Malinen2-0/+16

This fixes an issue where the initial CQM events are reported incorrectly with a burst of events while the running average approaches the correct value after the incorrect initialization.

2010-08-31dccp ccid-3: use per-route RTO or TCP RTO as fallbackGerrit Renker3-38/+6
This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN also available to CCID-3, replacing the compile-time RTO lower bound with a per-route tunable value. The original Kconfig option solved the problem that a very low RTT (in the order of HZ) can trigger too frequent and unnecessary reductions of the sending rate. This tunable does not affect the initial RTO value of 2 seconds specified in RFC 5348, section 4.2 and Appendix B. But like the hardcoded Kconfig value, it allows to adapt to network conditions. The same effect as the original Kconfig option of 100ms is now achieved by > ip route replace to unicast 192.168.0.0/24 rto_min 100j dev eth0 (assuming HZ=1000).

2010-08-31dccp ccid-2: Share TCP's minimum RTO codeGerrit Renker1-2/+3
Using a fixed RTO_MIN of 0.2 seconds was found to cause problems for CCID-2 over 802.11g: at least once per session there was a spurious timeout. It helped to then increase the the value of RTO_MIN over this link. Since the problem is the same as in TCP, this patch makes the solution from commit "05bb1fad1cde025a864a90cfeb98dcbefe78a44a" "[TCP]: Allow minimum RTO to be configurable via routing metrics." available to DCCP. This avoids reinventing the wheel, so that e.g. the following works in the expected way now also for CCID-2: > ip route change 10.0.0.2 rto_min 800 dev ath0 Luckily this useful rto_min function was recently moved to net/tcp.h, which simplifies sharing code originating from TCP.

2010-08-31dccp ccid-2: Remove wrappers around sk_{reset,stop}_timer()Gerrit Renker1-25/+3
This removes the wrappers around the sk timer functions, since not much is gained from using them: the BUG_ON in start_rto_timer will never trigger since that function is called only if: * the RTO timer expires (rto_expire, and then timer_pending() is false); * in tx_packet_sent only if !timer_pending() (BUG_ON is redundant here); * previously in new_ack, after stopping the timer (timer_pending() false). Removing the wrappers also clears the way for eventually replacing the RTO timer with the icsk-retransmission-timer, as it is already part of the DCCP socket.

2010-08-31dccp ccid-2: Use u32 timestamps uniformlyGerrit Renker2-13/+16
Since CCID-2 is de facto a mini implementation of TCP, it makes sense to share as much code as possible. Hence this patch aligns CCID-2 timestamping with TCP timestamping. This also halves the space consumption (on 64-bit systems). The necessary include file <net/tcp.h> is already included by way of net/dccp.h. Redundant includes have been removed.

2010-08-31tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option.Jerry Chu2-16/+35
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.

2010-08-27mac80211: fix offchannel queue stopJohannes Berg3-3/+24
Somebody noticed this problem, and I outlined to them how to fix it, but haven't heard back from them. So while I was adding the state field I figured I could use it to fix it. The problem, as I understand it, is that when we go offchannel while the driver has a queue stopped, the driver will likely start draining the queue and then enable it while offchannel. This in turn will enable the interface queue, and that leads to transmitting data frames on the wrong channel. Fix this by keeping track of offchannel status per interface, and not enabling the interface queues on interfaces that are offchannel when the driver enables a queue.
