2008-09-30Fix modpost failure when rx handlers are not inlined.Davide Pesavento
When CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH=n and CONFIG_MAC80211_NOINLINE=y, gcc doesn't optimize out a call to ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding, even if the previous comparison is always false in this case. This leads to the following errors during modpost: ERROR: "mpp_path_lookup" [net/mac80211/mac80211.ko] undefined! ERROR: "mpp_path_add" [net/mac80211/mac80211.ko] undefined! Fix by removing the possibility of uninlining ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding rx handler. Signed-off-by: Davide Pesavento <davidepesa@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-09-24mac80211: fix led behavior in IBSSEmmanuel Grumbach
This patch fixes the led behavior in IBSS. After we joined an IBSS cell we need to inform the led that we got associated. Although there is no 802.11 association in IBSS mode, the semantic of "There is a link" is relevant. This allows the led to blink in IBSS mode (at least this solves a bug for iwlwifi).

2008-09-24mac80211: clean up rate control APIJohannes Berg
Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of net/mac80211/. There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking, we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control algorithm or via new API. Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right now I'm not expert enough to do it. It's still off better than before. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-24mac80211: fix mesh action frame handlingJohannes Berg
When I split off the action frame handling I made the code drop all action frames we don't want to handle.

2008-09-24mac80211: make master iface not wirelessJohannes Berg
There's no need to register the master netdev with cfg80211, in fact, this is quite dangerous and lead to having to add checks for the master interface all over the config handlers. This patch removes the "ieee80211_ptr" from the master iface in favour of having a small netdev_priv() associated with the master interface that stores the ieee80211_local pointer. Because of this, a lot of code in the configuration handlers can go away. To make this patch easier to verify I have also removed a number of wiphy_priv() calls in favour of getting the sdata first and then the local pointer from that.

2008-09-22net: network device name ifalias supportStephen Hemminger
This patch add support for keeping an additional character alias associated with an network interface. This is useful for maintaining the SNMP ifAlias value which is a user defined value. Routers use this to hold information like which circuit or line it is connected to. It is just an arbitrary text label on the network device. There are two exposed interfaces with this patch, the value can be read/written either via netlink or sysfs. This could be maintained just by the snmp daemon, but it is more generally useful for other management tools, and the kernel is good place to act as an agreed upon interface to store it.

2008-09-22ipsec: Fix xfrm_state_walk raceHerbert Xu
As discovered by Timo Teräs, the currently xfrm_state_walk scheme is racy because if a second dump finishes before the first, we may free xfrm states that the first dump would walk over later. This patch fixes this by storing the dumps in a list in order to calculate the correct completion counter which cures this problem. I've expanded netlink_cb in order to accomodate the extra state related to this. It shouldn't be a big deal since netlink_cb is kmalloced for each dump and we're just increasing it by 4 or 8 bytes.

2008-09-21tcp: advertise MSS requested by userTom Quetchenbach
I'm trying to use the TCP_MAXSEG option to setsockopt() to set the MSS for both sides of a bidirectional connection. man tcp says: "If this option is set before connection establishment, it also changes the MSS value announced to the other end in the initial packet." However, the kernel only uses the MTU/route cache to set the advertised MSS. That means if I set the MSS to, say, 500 before calling connect(), I will send at most 500-byte packets, but I will still receive 1500-byte packets in reply. This is a bug, either in the kernel or the documentation. This patch (applies to latest net-2.6) reduces the advertised value to that requested by the user as long as setsockopt() is called before connect() or accept(). This seems like the behavior that one would expect as well as that which is documented. I've tried to make sure that things that depend on the advertised MSS are set correctly.
