* | DNS: Separate out CIFS DNS Resolver codeWang Lei2010-08-051-0/+146
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Separate out the DNS resolver key type from the CIFS filesystem into its own module so that it can be made available for general use, including the AFS filesystem module. This facility makes it possible for the kernel to upcall to userspace to have it issue DNS requests, package up the replies and present them to the kernel in a useful form. The kernel is then able to cache the DNS replies as keys can be retained in keyrings. Resolver keys are of type "dns_resolver" and have a case-insensitive description that is of the form "[<type>:]<domain_name>". The optional <type> indicates the particular DNS lookup and packaging that's required. The <domain_name> is the query to be made. If <type> isn't given, a basic hostname to IP address lookup is made, and the result is stored in the key in the form of a printable string consisting of a comma-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This key type is supported by userspace helpers driven from /sbin/request-key and configured through /etc/request-key.conf. The cifs.upcall utility is invoked for UNC path server name to IP address resolution. The CIFS functionality is encapsulated by the dns_resolve_unc_to_ip() function, which is used to resolve a UNC path to an IP address for CIFS filesystem. This part remains in the CIFS module for now. See the added Documentation/networking/dns_resolver.txt for more information.

Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch increases the granularity of the rate generated by pktgen. The previous version of pktgen uses micro seconds (udelay) resolution when it was delayed causing gaps in the rates. It is changed to nanosecond (ndelay). Now any rate is possible. Also it allows to set, the desired rate in Mb/s or packets per second. The documentation has been updated.

* | bonding: allow user-controlled output slave selectionAndy Gospodarek2010-06-051-2/+82
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | v2: changed bonding module version, modified to apply on top of changes from previous patch in series, and updated documentation to elaborate on multiqueue awareness that now exists in bonding driver. This patch give the user the ability to control the output slave for round-robin and active-backup bonding. Similar functionality was discussed in the past, but Jay Vosburgh indicated he would rather see a feature like this added to existing modes rather than creating a completely new mode. Jay's thoughts as well as Neil's input surrounding some of the issues with the first implementation pushed us toward a design that relied on the queue_mapping rather than skb marks. Round-robin and active-backup modes were chosen as the first users of this slave selection as they seemed like the most logical choices when considering a multi-switch environment. Round-robin mode works without any modification, but active-backup does require inclusion of the first patch in this series and setting the 'all_slaves_active' flag. This will allow reception of unicast traffic on any of the backup interfaces. This was tested with IPv4-based filters as well as VLAN-based filters with good results. More information as well as a configuration example is available in the patch to Documentation/networking/bonding.txt.

* | packet_mmap: expose hw packet timestamps to network packet capture utilitiesScott McMillan2010-06-021-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a setting, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, to specify the packet timestamp source that is exported to capture utilities like tcpdump by packet_mmap. PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as SO_TIMESTAMPING. However, only the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by PACKET_TIMESTAMP. SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set. If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside the networking stack is used (the behavior before this setting was added).

At least one existing cxacru-cf.bin file contains invalid data which will prevent the modem from syncing properly.

* | net: TCP thin dupackAndreas Petlund2010-02-181-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables fast retransmissions after one dupACK for TCP if the stream is identified as thin. This will reduce latencies for thin streams that are not able to trigger fast retransmissions due to high packet interarrival time. This mechanism is only active if enabled by iocontrol or syscontrol and the stream is identified as thin. Signed-off-by: Andreas Petlund <apetlund@simula.no> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | net: TCP thin linear timeoutsAndreas Petlund2010-02-181-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch will make TCP use only linear timeouts if the stream is thin. This will help to avoid the very high latencies that thin stream suffer because of exponential backoff. This mechanism is only active if enabled by iocontrol or syscontrol and the stream is identified as thin. A maximum of 6 linear timeouts is tried before exponential backoff is resumed.

* | dccp: allow probing of CCID-array lengthGerrit Renker2010-02-121-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a problem in the DCCP getsockopt() API: currently there is no way for a user to a priori know the number of built-in CCIDs, other than trying DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until EINVAL is no longer returned. This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made when the length is <= 0. Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the minimum array length remains 4, which is a reasonable default (only 3 CCIDs, CCID-2..4, are currently defined).

Now it's a pretty fundamental thing and as people add more features to AF_PACKET sockets this config options creates ifdef spaghetti. So kill it off. Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 3c509 was changed to support ethtool in 2002, making the 'xcvr' module parameter obsolete in most cases. More recently 3c509 was converted to the modern driver model and this parameter was removed. Fix the documentation to refer to ethtool rather than the module parameter.

* | ipv4: allow warming up the ARP cache with request type gratuitous ARPOctavian Purdila2010-01-191-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the per device ARP_ACCEPT option is enable, currently we only allow creating new ARP cache entries for response type gratuitous ARP. Allowing gratuitous ARP to create new ARP entries (not only to update existing ones) is useful when we want to avoid unnecessary delays for the first packet of a stream. This patch allows request type gratuitous ARP to create new ARP cache entries as well. This is useful when we want to populate the ARP cache entries for a large number of hosts on the same LAN.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is to be used together with switch technologies, like RFC3069, that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with each other, but they are allowed to talk to the upstream router. As described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing. This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received). Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan": /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan This switch technology is known by different vendor names: - In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation. - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN. - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation. - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

It includes code for searching that database as an alternative to dynamic regulatory rules updates via CRDA. Most people should use CRDA instead of this infrastructure, but it provides a better alternative than the WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY infrastructure (which can now be removed). Signed-off-by: John W.
