According to the RFC4944 (Transmission of IPv6 Packets over
IEEE 802.15.4 Networks), chapter 7:
The IPv6 link-local address [RFC4291] for an IEEE 802.15.4 interface
is formed by appending the Interface Identifier, as defined above, to
the prefix FE80::/64.
This AQM main input is no longer queue size in bytes or packets, but the
delay packets stay in (FIFO) queue.
As we don't have infinite memory, we still can drop packets in enqueue()
in case of massive load, but mean of CoDel is to drop packets in
dequeue(), using a control law based on two simple parameters :
target : target sojourn time (default 5ms)
interval : width of moving time window (default 100ms)
Based on initial work from Dave Taht.
Refactored to help future codel inclusion as a plugin for other linux
qdisc (FQ_CODEL, ...), like RED.
include/net/codel.h contains codel algorithm as close as possible than
Kathleen reference.
net/sched/sch_codel.c contains the linux qdisc specific glue.
Separate structures permit a memory efficient implementation of fq_codel
(to be sent as a separate work) : Each flow has its own struct
codel_vars.
timestamps are taken at enqueue() time with 1024 ns precision, allowing
a range of 2199 seconds in queue, and 100Gb links support. iproute2 uses
usec as base unit.
Selected packets are dropped, unless ECN is enabled and packets can get
ECN mark instead.
Tested from 2Mb to 10Gb speeds with no particular problems, on ixgbe and
tg3 drivers (BQL enabled).
Usage: tc qdisc ... codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ target TIME ]
[ interval TIME ] [ ecn ]
CoDel must be seen as a base module, and should be used keeping in mind
there is still a FIFO queue. So a typical setup will probably need a
hierarchy of several qdiscs and packet classifiers to be able to meet
whatever constraints a user might have.
One possible example would be to use fq_codel, which combines Fair
Queueing and CoDel, in replacement of sfq / sfq_red.

This patch enables hardware timestamping for use with PTP software by
extracting a ns counter from an arbitrary fixed point cycles counter.
The hardware generates SYSTIME registers using the DMA tick which
changes based on the current link speed. These SYSTIME registers are
converted to ns using the cyclecounter and timecounter structures
provided by the kernel. Using the SO_TIMESTAMPING api, software can
enable and access timestamps for PTP packets.
The SO_TIMESTAMPING API has space for 3 different kinds of timestamps,
SYS, RAW, and SOF. SYS hardware timestamps are hardware ns values that
are then scaled to the software clock. RAW hardware timestamps are the
direct raw value of the ns counter. SOF software timestamps are the
software timestamp calculated as close as possible to the software
transmit, but are not offloaded to the hardware. This patch only
supports the RAW hardware timestamps due to inefficiency of the SYS
design.
This patch also enables the PHC subsystem features for atomically
adjusting the cycle register, and adjusting the clock frequency in
parts per billion. This frequency adjustment works by slightly
adjusting the value added to the cycle registers each DMA tick. This
causes the hardware registers to overflow rapidly (approximately once
every 34 seconds, when at 10gig link). To solve this, the timecounter
structure is used, along with a timer set for every 25 seconds. This
allows for detecting register overflow and converting the cycle
counter registers into ns values needed for providing useful
timestamps to the network stack.
Only the basic required clock functions are supported at this time,
although the hardware supports some ancillary features and these could
easily be enabled in the future.
Note that use of this hardware timestamping requires modifying daemon
software to use the SO_TIMESTAMPING API for timestamps, and the
ptp_clock PHC framework for accessing the clock. The timestamps have
no relation to the system time at all, so software must use the posix
clock generated by the PHC framework instead.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix explicit helper attachment and NAT
Explicit helper attachment via the CT target is broken with NAT
if non-standard ports are used. This problem was hidden behind
the automatic helper assignment routine. Thus, it becomes more
noticeable now that we can disable the automatic helper assignment
with Eric Leblond's:
9e8ac5a netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to disable automatic helper assignment
Basically, nf_conntrack_alter_reply asks for looking up the helper
up if NAT is enabled. Unfortunately, we don't have the conntrack
template at that point anymore.
Since we don't want to rely on the automatic helper assignment,
we can skip the second look-up and stick to the helper that was
attached by iptables. With the CT target, the user is in full
control of helper attachment, thus, the policy is to trust what
the user explicitly configures via iptables (no automatic magic
anymore).
Interestingly, this bug was hidden by the automatic helper look-up
code. But it can be easily trigger if you attach the helper in
a non-standard port, eg.
I added the IPS_HELPER_BIT that allows us to differenciate between
a helper that has been explicitly attached and those that have been
automatically assigned. I didn't come up with a better solution
(having backward compatibility in mind).

without deleting/recreating the expectation.
I use this specifically for forwarding DCERPC traffic through:
DCERPC has a port mapper daemon that chooses a (seemingly) random port for
future traffic to go to. We expect this traffic (with a reasonable
timeout), but sometimes the port mapper will tell the client to continue
using the same port. This allows us to extend the expectation accordingly.

Special thanks to Aleksey Chudov for helping in all tests.
Add two new sysctl vars to control the sync rate with the
main idea to reduce the rate for connection templates because
currently it depends on the packet rate for controlled connections.
This mechanism should be useful also for normal connections
with high traffic.
sync_refresh_period: in seconds, difference in reported connection
timer that triggers new sync message. It can be used to
avoid sync messages for the specified period (or half of
the connection timeout if it is lower) if connection state
is not changed from last sync.
sync_retries: integer, 0..3, defines sync retries with period of
sync_refresh_period/8. Useful to protect against loss of
sync messages.
Allow sysctl_sync_threshold to be used with
sysctl_sync_period=0, so that only single sync message is sent
if sync_refresh_period is also 0.
Add new field "sync_endtime" in connection structure to
hold the reported time when connection expires. The 2 lowest
bits will represent the retry count.
As the sysctl_sync_period now can be 0 use ACCESS_ONCE to
avoid division by zero.
Special thanks to Aleksey Chudov for being patient with me,
for his extensive reports and helping in all tests.
High rate of sync messages in master can lead to
overflowing the socket buffer and dropping the messages.
Fixed sleep of 1 second without wakeup events is not suitable
for loaded masters,
Use delayed_work to schedule sending for queued messages
and limit the delay to IPVS_SYNC_SEND_DELAY (20ms). This will
reduce the rate of wakeups but to avoid sending long bursts we
wakeup the master thread after IPVS_SYNC_WAKEUP_RATE (8) messages.
Add hard limit for the queued messages before sending
by using "sync_qlen_max" sysctl var. It defaults to 1/32 of
the memory pages but actually represents number of messages.
It will protect us from allocating large parts of memory
when the sending rate is lower than the queuing rate.
As suggested by Pablo, add new sysctl var
"sync_sock_size" to configure the SNDBUF (master) or
RCVBUF (slave) socket limit. Default value is 0 (preserve
system defaults).
Change the master thread to detect and block on
SNDBUF overflow, so that we do not drop messages when
the socket limit is low but the sync_qlen_max limit is
not reached. On ENOBUFS or other errors just drop the
messages.
Change master thread to enter TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE

ipvs: always update some of the flags bits in backup
As the goal is to mirror the inactconns/activeconns
counters in the backup server, make sure the cp->flags are
updated even if cp is still not bound to dest. If cp->flags
are not updated ip_vs_bind_dest will rely only on the initial
flags when updating the counters. To avoid mistakes and
complicated checks for protocol state rely only on the
IP_VS_CONN_F_INACTIVE bit when updating the counters.
ipvs: fix ip_vs_try_bind_dest to rebind app and transmitter
Initially, when the synced connection is created we
use the forwarding method provided by master but once we
bind to destination it can be changed. As result, we must
update the application and the transmitter.
As ip_vs_try_bind_dest is called always for connections
that require dest binding, there is no need to validate the
cp and dest pointers.

ipvs: remove check for IP_VS_CONN_F_SYNC from ip_vs_bind_dest
As the IP_VS_CONN_F_INACTIVE bit is properly set
in cp->flags for all kind of connections we do not need to
add special checks for synced connections when updating
the activeconns/inactconns counters for first time. Now
logic will look just like in ip_vs_unbind_dest.

ipvs: ignore IP_VS_CONN_F_NOOUTPUT in backup server
As IP_VS_CONN_F_NOOUTPUT is derived from the
forwarding method we should get it from conn_flags just
like we do it for IP_VS_CONN_F_FWD_MASK bits when binding
to real server.

if net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged sysctl is enabled, bridge
netfilter removes the vlan header temporarily and then feeds the packet
to ip(6)tables.
When the new "bridge-nf-pass-vlan-input-device" sysctl is on
(default off), then bridge netfilter will also set the
in-interface to the vlan interface; if such an interface exists.
This is needed to make iptables REDIRECT target work with
"vlan-on-top-of-bridge" setups and to allow use of "iptables -i" to
match the vlan device name.
Also update Documentation with current brnf default settings.

[ Note: flows that already got a helper will keep using it even
if automatic helper assignment has been disabled ]
Once this behaviour has been disabled, you have to explicitly
use the iptables CT target to attach helper to flows.
There are good reasons to stop supporting automatic helper
assignment, for further information, please read:
http://www.netfilter.org/news.html#2012-04-03
This patch also adds one message to inform that automatic helper
assignment is deprecated and it will be removed soon (this is
spotted only once, with the first flow that gets a helper attached
to make it as less annoying as possible).

Resolved the iwlwifi conflict with mainline using 3-way diff posted
by John Linville and Stephen Rothwell. In 'net' we added a bug
fix to make iwlwifi report a more accurate skb->truesize but this
conflicted with RX path changes that happened meanwhile in net-next.
In e1000e a conflict arose in the validation code for settings of
adapter->itr. 'net-next' had more sophisticated logic so that
logic was used.

Michael S. Tsirkin says:
--------------------
There are mostly bugfixes here.
I hope to merge some more patches by 3.5, in particular
vlan support fixes are waiting for Eric's ack,
and a version of tracepoint patch might be
ready in time, but let's merge what's ready so it's testable.
This includes a ton of zerocopy fixes by Jason -
good stuff but too intrusive for 3.4 and zerocopy is experimental
anyway.
virtio supported delayed interrupt for a while now
so adding support to the virtio tool made sense

Until now, struct mreq has not been recognized and it was worked with

netdev/of/phy: Add MDIO bus multiplexer support.
This patch adds a somewhat generic framework for MDIO bus
multiplexers. It is modeled on the I2C multiplexer.
The multiplexer is needed if there are multiple PHYs with the same
address connected to the same MDIO bus adepter, or if there is
insufficient electrical drive capability for all the connected PHY
devices.
Conceptually it could look something like this:
------------------
| Control Signal |
--------+---------
|
--------------- --------+------
| MDIO MASTER |---| Multiplexer |
--------------- --+-------+----
| |
C C
h h
i i
l l
d d
| |
--------- A B ---------
| | | | | |
| PHY@1 +-------+ +---+ PHY@1 |
| | | | | |
--------- | | ---------
--------- | | ---------
| | | | | |
| PHY@2 +-------+ +---+ PHY@2 |
| | | |
--------- ---------
This framework configures the bus topology from device tree data. The
mechanics of switching the multiplexer is left to device specific
drivers.
The follow-on patch contains a multiplexer driven by GPIO lines.
