This patch improves ctnetlink event reliability if one broadcast
listener has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option.
The logic is the following: if an event delivery fails, we keep
the undelivered events in the missed event cache. Once the next
packet arrives, we add the new events (if any) to the missed
events in the cache and we try a new delivery, and so on. Thus,
if ctnetlink fails to deliver an event, we try to deliver them
once we see a new packet. Therefore, we may lose state
transitions but the userspace process gets in sync at some point.
At worst case, if no events were delivered to userspace, we make
sure that destroy events are successfully delivered. Basically,
if ctnetlink fails to deliver the destroy event, we remove the
conntrack entry from the hashes and we insert them in the dying
list, which contains inactive entries. Then, the conntrack timer
is added with an extra grace timeout of random32() % 15 seconds
to trigger the event again (this grace timeout is tunable via
/proc). The use of a limited random timeout value allows
distributing the "destroy" resends, thus, avoiding accumulating
lots "destroy" events at the same time. Event delivery may
re-order but we can identify them by means of the tuple plus
the conntrack ID.
The maximum number of conntrack entries (active or inactive) is
still handled by nf_conntrack_max. Thus, we may start dropping
packets at some point if we accumulate a lot of inactive conntrack
entries that did not successfully report the destroy event to
userspace.
During my stress tests consisting of setting a very small buffer
of 2048 bytes for conntrackd and the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket
flag, and generating lots of very small connections, I noticed
very few destroy entries on the fly waiting to be resend.
A simple way to test this patch consist of creating a lot of
entries, set a very small Netlink buffer in conntrackd (+ a patch
which is not in the git tree to set the BROADCAST_ERROR flag)
and invoke `conntrack -F'.
For expectations, no changes are introduced in this patch.
Currently, event delivery is only done for new expectations (no
events from expectation expiration, removal and confirmation).
In that case, they need a per-expectation event cache to implement
the same idea that is exposed in this patch.
This patch can be useful to provide reliable flow-accouting. We
still have to add a new conntrack extension to store the creation
and destroy time.

Moved all the RX code to use a unified IRQ handler that based on the
type of data the device is sending can discriminate and decide which
is the right destination.
As well, all the reads from the device are made to be at least the
block size (256); the driver will ignore the rest when not needed.
wimax/i2400m: don't reset device when bootrom init retries are exceeded
When i2400m_bootrom_init() fails to put the device into a state of
being ready to accept firmware, the driver was currently trying to
reset it if it failed to do so. This is not too useful; as part of
trying to put the device in the right state a few resets have already
been tried.
At this point, things are probably fried out and an extra reset might
do more harm than good (for example causing reseting of other
functions in the same composite device).
So it is left up to the callers to determine the error path to take
(at the end this is always i2400m_setup(), who depending on how many
retries are left, might give up on the device).

wimax/i2400m: move boot time poke table out of common driver
This change moves the table of "pokes" performed on the device at boot
time to the bus specific portion of the driver.
Different models of the i2400m device supported by this driver require
different poke tables, thus having a single table that works for all
is impossible. For that, the table is moved to the bus-specific
driver, who can decide which table to use based on the specifics of
the device and point the generic driver to it.
wimax/i2400m: Allow bus-specific driver to specify retry count
The code that sets up the i2400m (firmware load and general driver
setup after it) includes a couple of retry loops.
The SDIO device sometimes can get in more complicated corners than the
USB one (due to its interaction with other SDIO functions), that
require trying a few more times.
To solve that, without having a failing USB device taking longer to be
considered dead, allow the retry counts to be specified by the
bus-specific driver, which the general driver takes as a parameter.
wimax/i2400m: if a device reboot happens during probe, handle it
When a device reboot happens when we are under probe, with init_mutex
taken, make sure we can recover. Have dev_reset_handle set boot mode
and i2400m_msg_to_dev() will see it and fail gracefully instead of
timing out.
wimax/i2400m: fix oops when the TX FIFO fills up due to a missing check
When the TX FIFO filled up and i2400m_tx_new() failed to allocate a
new TX message header, a missing check for said condition was causing a
kernel oops when trying to dereference a NULL i2400m->tx_msg pointer.
wimax/i2400m: don't reset device on i2400m_dev_shutdown()
i2400m_dev_shutdown() tried to reset the device to put it in a known
state before shutting down.
But that turned out to be pointless. We reach this case in two paths:
1 - when the device resets, to clean up state
2 - when the driver is unloaded, for the same
however, in both cases it is pointless; in (1) the device is already
reset, why do it again? in (2) we can't -- the USB stack, for example,
doesn't allow communicating with the device when the driver is being
unbound and if the device is disconnected, the device is gone already.
So just remove it. Leave the function as a placeholder for future
cleanups that will be done from data allocated by the driver during
device operation.
wimax/i2400m: fix panic due to missed corner cases on tail_room calculation
i2400m_tx_skip_tail() needs to handle the special case of being called
when the tail room that is left over in the FIFO is zero.
This happens when a TX message header was opened at the very end of
the FIFO (without payloads). The i2400m_tx_close() code already marked
said TX message (header) to be skipped and this function should be
doing nothing.
It is called anyway because it is part of a common "corner case" path
handling which takes care of more cases than only this one.
The tail room computation was also improved to take care of the case
when tx_in is at the end of the buffer boundary; tail_room has to be
modded (%) to the buffer size. To do that in a single well-documented
place, __i2400m_tx_tail_room() is introduced and used.
Treat i2400m->tx_in == 0 as a corner case and handle it accordingly.
wimax/i2400m: fix panic/warnings caused by missed check on empty TX message
In some situations, when a new TX message header is started, there
might be no space for data payloads. In this case the message is left
with zero payloads and the i2400m_tx_close() function has just to mark
it as "to skip". If it tries to go ahead it will overwrite things
because there is no space to add padding as defined by the
bus-specific layer. This can cause buffer overruns and in some stress
cases, panics.
wimax/i2400m: i2400m's work queue should be initialized before RX support
RX support is the only user of the work-queue, to process
reports/notifications from the device. Thus, it needs the work queue
to be initialized first.
wimax/i2400m: don't call netif_start_queue() in _tx_msg_sent()
Reported and fixed by Cindy H Kao.
When the device is stopped __i2400m_dev_stop() stops the network
queue.
However, when this is done in the middle of heavy network operation,
when the bus-specific subdriver is still wrapping up and it reports a
sent TX transaction with _tx_msg_sent() right after the device was
stopped, the queue was being started again, which was causing a stream
of oopsen and finally a panic.
In any case, said call has no place there. It's a left over from an
early implementation that was discarded later on.
wimax/i2400m: introduce module parameter to disable entering power save
The i2400m driver waits for the device to report being ready for
entering power save before asking it to do so. This module parameter
allows control of said operation; if disabled, the driver won't ask
the device to enter power save mode.
This is useful in setups where power saving is not so important or
when the overhead imposed by network reentry after power save is not
acceptable; by combining this with parameter 'idle_mode_disabled', the
driver will always maintain both the connection and the device in
active state.

net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx
One of the problem with sock memory accounting is it uses
a pair of sock_hold()/sock_put() for each transmitted packet.
This slows down bidirectional flows because the receive path
also needs to take a refcount on socket and might use a different
cpu than transmit path or transmit completion path. So these
two atomic operations also trigger cache line bounces.
We can see this in tx or tx/rx workloads (media gateways for example),
where sock_wfree() can be in top five functions in profiles.
We use this sock_hold()/sock_put() so that sock freeing
is delayed until all tx packets are completed.
As we also update sk_wmem_alloc, we could offset sk_wmem_alloc
by one unit at init time, until sk_free() is called.
Once sk_free() is called, we atomic_dec_and_test(sk_wmem_alloc)
to decrement initial offset and atomicaly check if any packets
are in flight.
skb_set_owner_w() doesnt call sock_hold() anymore
sock_wfree() doesnt call sock_put() anymore, but check if sk_wmem_alloc
reached 0 to perform the final freeing.
Drawback is that a skb->truesize error could lead to unfreeable sockets, or
even worse, prematurely calling __sk_free() on a live socket.
Nice speedups on SMP. tbench for example, going from 2691 MB/s to 2711 MB/s
on my 8 cpu dev machine, even if tbench was not really hitting sk_refcnt
contention point. 5 % speedup on a UDP transmit workload (depends
on number of flows), lowering TX completion cpu usage.

rfkill_register() function, and holds that lock over
calls to the set_block() methods. This means that we
cannot hold a lock around rfkill_register() that we
also require in set_block(), directly or indirectly.
Fix cfg80211 to register rfkill outside the block
locked by its global lock. Much of what cfg80211 does
in the locked block doesn't need to be locked anyway.

mac80211: disable PS while probing AP
When associated, but probing the AP because we detected
beacon loss, we need to disable powersave to be able to
receive the probe response. Change the code to do that by
checking whether we're trying to probe when determining
the possibility of going into PS, and recalculate the PS
ability at the necessary spots.

mac80211: disable moving between PS modes during scan
We don't want to trigger moving between PS mode during scan,
because then we will sometimes end up sending nullfunc frames
during scan. We're supposed to only send one prior to scan
and after scan.
This fixes an oops which occured due to an assert in ath9k:
The assert was happening because the rate control algorithm
figures it should find at least one valid dual stream or
single stream rate. Since we allow mac80211 to send nullfunc
frames during scan and dynamic PS was enabled at times we ended
up trying to send nullfunc frames for the target sta on the
wrong band for which we have no valid rate to communicate with
it. This breaks the assumptions in rate control.
We determine we also need to disable moving between PS modes
when not associated so lets just add that now as well, and we
should not have a ps_sdata when that interface cannot actually
go into PS because it's not associated.

ath5k: minor rfkill cleanup
Always enable rfkill since the ifdefs in the code is not really worth
the Kconfig option. Also fix a few code style things, and remove the
usage of the ah_gpio[] array so we can remove it later.

ath9k: Fix tx stuck when connected to aggr disabled HT AP
This patch along with my previous patch in mac80211 "Fix the
way ADDBA count..", fixes hang in tx when connected to an HT
AP which rejects/times out on addba req.
AGGR_ADDBA_PROGRESS should be cleared in aggr state when addba
negotiation is terminated due to either addba response is timed out
or addba is denied by the AP. With out clearing this bit,
all frames are queued onto s/w queue for getting tx'd as aggr and
will never be scheduled onto hw queue.

mac80211: Fix the way ADDBA request count being modified
addba_req_num[tid] is supposed to have the count of consecutive
addba request attempts on 'tid' which failed. This count is checked
against a retry threshold (3 times) before starting the addba negotiation.
This patch fixes the way this addba count is incremented/reset and thereby
avoids indefinite addba attempts.

As Pavel puts userspace can be stupid and should not

find a crash here but unable to reproduce. Either way
lets deal with this.

sony-laptop: no need to unblock rfkill on load
The re-written rfkill core ensures rfkill devices are initialized to

so the driver shouldn't need to.
