net: Add DEVTYPE support for Ethernet based devices
The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.
To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
within udev.
# cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent
DEVTYPE=wlan
INTERFACE=wlan0
IFINDEX=5
This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.
The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual
device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the
same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.

net: unix: fix sending fds in multiple buffers
Kalle Olavi Niemitalo reported that:
"..., when one process calls sendmsg once to send 43804 bytes of
data and one file descriptor, and another process then calls recvmsg
three times to receive the 16032+16032+11740 bytes, each of those
recvmsg calls returns the file descriptor in the ancillary data. I
confirmed this with strace. The behaviour differs from Linux
2.6.26, where reportedly only one of those recvmsg calls (I think
the first one) returned the file descriptor."
This bug was introduced by a patch from me titled "net: unix: fix inflight
counting bug in garbage collector", commit
6209344f5.
And the reason is, quoting Kalle:
"Before your patch, unix_attach_fds() would set scm->fp = NULL, so
that if the loop in unix_stream_sendmsg() ran multiple iterations,
it could not call unix_attach_fds() again. But now,
unix_attach_fds() leaves scm->fp unchanged, and I think this causes
it to be called multiple times and duplicate the same file
descriptors to each struct sk_buff."
Fix this by introducing a flag that is cleared at the start and set
when the fds attached to the first buffer. The resulting code should
work equivalently to the one on 2.6.26.

IXP42x HSS support for setting internal clock rate
HSS usually uses external clocks, so it's not a big deal. Internal clock
is used for direct DTE-DTE connections and when the DCE doesn't provide
it's own clock.
This also depends on the oscillator frequency. Intel seems to have
calculated the clock register settings for 33.33 MHz (66.66 MHz timer
base). Their settings seem quite suboptimal both in terms of average
frequency (60 ppm is unacceptable for G.703 applications, their primary
intended usage(?)) and jitter.
Many (most?) platforms use a 33.333 MHz oscillator, a 10 ppm difference
from Intel's base.
Instead of creating static tables, I've created a procedure to program
the HSS clock register. The register consists of 3 parts (A, B, C).
The average frequency (= bit rate) is:
66.66x MHz / (A + (B + 1) / (C + 1))
The procedure aims at the closest average frequency, possibly at the
cost of increased jitter. Nobody would be able to directly drive an
unbufferred transmitter with a HSS anyway, and the frequency error is
what it really counts.
I've verified the above with an oscilloscope on IXP425. It seems IXP46x
and possibly IXP43x use a bit different clock generation algorithm - it
looks like the avg frequency is:
(on IXP465) 66.66x MHz / (A + B / (C + 1)).
Also they use much greater precomputed A and B - on IXP425 it would
simply result in more jitter, but I don't know how does it work on
IXP46x (perhaps 3 least significant bits aren't used?).
Anyway it looks that they were aiming for exactly +60 ppm or -60 ppm,
while <1 ppm is typically possible (with a synchronized clock, of
course).
The attached patch makes it possible to set almost any bit rate
(my IXP425 533 MHz quits at > 22 Mb/s if a single port is used, and the
minimum is ca. 65 Kb/s).
This is independent of MVIP (multi-E1/T1 on one HSS) mode.

net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_api
Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from
a few problems:
- with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means
they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion.
- all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created
qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible
to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a
shared qdisc has been attached.
- Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared
qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete.
This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc
from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first
(non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The
following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used

sctp: Sysctl configuration for IPv4 Address Scoping
This patch introduces a new sysctl option to make IPv4 Address Scoping
configurable <draft-stewart-tsvwg-sctp-ipv4-00.txt>.
In networking environments where DNAT rules in iptables prerouting
chains convert destination IP's to link-local/private IP addresses,
SCTP connections fail to establish as the INIT chunk is dropped by the
kernel due to address scope match failure.
For example to support overlapping IP addresses (same IP address with
different vlan id) a Layer-5 application listens on link local IP's,
and there is a DNAT rule that maps the destination IP to a link local
IP. Such applications never get the SCTP INIT if the address-scoping
draft is strictly followed.
This sysctl configuration allows SCTP to function in such
unconventional networking environments.
Sysctl options:
0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping draft altogether
1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping (default, current behavior)
2 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 private addresses in init/init-ack
3 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 link local address in init/init-ack

as well send the last portion now instead of waiting untill the next
large write happens. The small portion will be sent as is regardless,
so it's better to not delay it.
This is a result of much discussions with Wei Yongjun <yjwei@cn.fujitsu.com>
and Doug Graham <dgraham@nortel.com>. Many thanks go out to them.

sctp: Nagle delay should be based on path mtu
The decision to delay due to Nagle should be based on the path mtu
and future packet size. We currently incorrectly base it on
'frag_point' which is the SCTP DATA segment size, and also we do
not count DATA chunk header overhead in the computation. This
actuall allows situations where a user can set low 'frag_point',
and then send small messages without delay.

sctp: Try not to change a_rwnd when faking a SACK from SHUTDOWN.
We currently set a_rwnd to 0 when faking a SACK from SHUTDOWN.
This results in an hung association if the remote only uses
SHUTDOWNs (which it's allowed to do) to acknowlege DATA when
closing. The reason for that is that we simply honor the a_rwnd
from the sack, but since we faked it to be 0, we enter 0-window
probing. The fix is to use the peers old rwnd and add our flight
size to it.

sctp: drop a_rwnd to 0 when receive buffer overflows.
SCTP has a problem that when small chunks are used, it is possible
to exhaust the receiver buffer without fully closing receive window.
This happens due to all overhead that we have account for with small
messages. To fix this, when receive buffer is exceeded, we'll drop
the window to 0 and save the 'drop' portion. When application starts
reading data and freeing up recevie buffer space, we'll wait until
we've reached the 'drop' window and then add back this 'drop' one
mtu at a time. This worked well in testing and under stress produced
rather even recovery.

sctp: Fix error count increments that were results of HEARTBEATS
SCTP RFC 4960 states that unacknowledged HEARTBEATS count as
errors agains a given transport or endpoint. As such, we
should increment the error counts for only for unacknowledged
HB, otherwise we detect failure too soon. This goes for both
the overall error count and the path error count.
Now, there is a difference in how the detection is done
between the two. The path error detection is done after
the increment, so to detect it properly, we actually need
to exceed the path threshold. The overall error detection
is done _BEFORE_ the increment. Thus to detect the failure,
it's enough for the error count to match the threshold.
This is why all the state functions use '>=' to detect failure,
while path detection uses '>'.
Thanks goes to Chunbo Luo <chunbo.luo@windriver.com> who first
proposed patches to fix this issue and made me re-read the spec
and the code to figure out how this cruft really works.

sctp: Send user messages to the lower layer as one
Currenlty, sctp breaks up user messages into fragments and
sends each fragment to the lower layer by itself. This means
that for each fragment we go all the way down the stack
and back up. This also discourages bundling of multiple
fragments when they can fit into a sigle packet (ex: due
to user setting a low fragmentation threashold).
We introduce a new command SCTP_CMD_SND_MSG and hand the
whole message down state machine. The state machine and
the side-effect parser will cork the queue, add all chunks
from the message to the queue, and then un-cork the queue
thus causing the chunks to get transmitted.

sctp: Fix data segmentation with small frag_size
Since an application may specify the maximum SCTP fragment size
that all data should be fragmented to, we need to fix how
we do segmentation. Right now, if a user specifies a small
fragment size, the segment size can go negative in the presence
of AUTH or COOKIE_ECHO bundling.
What we need to do is track the largest possbile DATA chunk that
can fit into the mtu. Then if the fragment size specified is
bigger then this maximum length, we'll shrink it down. Otherwise,
we just use the smaller segment size without changing it further.
