net-timestamp: sock_tx_timestamp() fix

2014-08-06T19:38:07Z

sock_tx_timestamp() should not ignore initial *tx_flags value, as TCP stack can store SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG in it. Also first argument (struct sock *) can be const.

net-timestamp: ACK timestamp for bytestreams

2014-08-05T23:35:54Z

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK, a request for a tstamp when the last byte in the send() call is acknowledged. It implements the feature for TCP. The timestamp is generated when the TCP socket cumulative ACK is moved beyond the tracked seqno for the first time. The feature ignores SACK and FACK, because those acknowledge the specific byte, but not necessarily the entire contents of the buffer up to that byte.

net-timestamp: SCHED timestamp on entering packet scheduler

2014-08-05T23:35:54Z

Kernel transmit latency is often incurred in the packet scheduler. Introduce a new timestamp on transmission just before entering the scheduler. When data travels through multiple devices (bonding, tunneling, ...) each device will export an individual timestamp. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net-timestamp: move timestamp flags out of sk_flags

2014-08-05T23:35:54Z

sk_flags is reaching its limit. New timestamping options will not fit. Move all of them into a new field sk->sk_tsflags. Added benefit is that this removes boilerplate code to convert between SOF_TIMESTAMPING_.. and SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_.. in getsockopt/setsockopt. SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is also used to toggle the receive timestamp logic (netstamp_needed). That can be simplified and this last key removed, but will leave that for a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn ---- The u16 in sock can be moved into a 16-bit hole below sk_gso_max_segs, though that scatters tstamp fields throughout the struct. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net-timestamp: extend SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary data struct

2014-08-05T23:35:53Z

Applications that request kernel tx timestamps with SO_TIMESTAMPING read timestamps as recvmsg() ancillary data. The response is defined implicitly as timespec[3]. 1) define struct scm_timestamping explicitly and 2) add support for new tstamp types. On tx, scm_timestamping always accompanies a sock_extended_err. Define previously unused field ee_info to signal the type of ts[0]. Introduce SCM_TSTAMP_SND to define the existing behavior. The reception path is not modified. On rx, no struct similar to sock_extended_err is passed along with SCM_TIMESTAMPING. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: remove deprecated syststamp timestamp

2014-07-29T18:39:50Z

The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines three types of timestamps: software, hardware in raw format (hwtstamp) and hardware converted to system format (syststamp). The last has been deprecated in favor of combining hwtstamp with a PTP clock driver. There are no active users in the kernel. The option was device driver dependent. If set, but without hardware support, the correct behavior is to return zero in the relevant field in the SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary message. Without device drivers implementing the option, this field is effectively always zero. Remove the internal plumbing to dissuage new drivers from implementing the feature. Keep the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE flag, however, to avoid breaking existing applications that request the timestamp. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: use SYSCALL_DEFINEx for sys_recv

2014-04-16T19:15:05Z

Make sys_recv a first class citizen by using the SYSCALL_DEFINEx macro. Besides being cleaner this will also generate meta data for the system call so tracing tools like ftrace or LTTng can resolve this system call. Signed-off-by: Jan Glauber Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ptp: move PTP classifier in its own file

2014-04-01T20:43:18Z

This commit fixes a build error reported by Fengguang, that is triggered when CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is not set: ERROR: "ptp_classify_raw" [drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe.ko] undefined! The fix is to introduce its own file for the PTP BPF classifier, so that PTP_1588_CLOCK and/or NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING can select it independently from each other. IXP4xx driver on ARM needs to select it as well since it does not seem to select PTP_1588_CLOCK or similar that would pull it in automatically. This also allows for hiding all of the internals of the BPF PTP program inside that file, and only exporting relevant API bits to drivers. This patch also adds a kdoc documentation of ptp_classify_raw() API to make it clear that it can return PTP_CLASS_* defines. Also, the BPF program has been translated into bpf_asm code, so that it can be more easily read and altered (extensively documented in [1]). In the kernel tree under tools/net/ we have bpf_asm and bpf_dbg tools, so the commented program can simply be translated via `./bpf_asm -c prog` where prog is a file that contains the commented code. This makes it easily readable/verifiable and when there's a need to change something, jump offsets etc do not need to be replaced manually which can be very error prone. Instead, a newly translated version via bpf_asm can simply replace the old code. I have checked opcode diffs before/after and it's the very same filter.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the game. Anyways: 1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which is the correct implementation, like it should. Instead it does something like a NAPI poll operation. This leads to crashes. From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann. 2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the release callbacks. This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving variables and such significantly clearer names such that the actual fix itself at the end looks trivial. From Michael S. Tsirkin. 3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked from a timer on an already "owned" socket. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) In the bridge multicast code, we must validate that the destination address of general queries is the link local all-nodes multicast address. From Linus Lüssing. 5) The x86 BPF JIT support for negative offsets puts the parameter for the helper function call in the wrong register. Fix from Alexei Starovoitov. 6) The descriptor type used for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 chips in the r8169 driver is incorrect. Fix from Hayes Wang. 7) The xen-netback driver tests skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type bits to see if a packet is a GSO frame, but that's not the correct test. It should use skb_is_gso(skb) instead. Fix from Wei Liu. 8) Negative msg->msg_namelen values should generate an error, from Matthew Leach. 9) at86rf230 can deadlock because it takes the same lock from it's ISR and it's hard_start_xmit method, without disabling interrupts in the latter. Fix from Alexander Aring. 10) The FEC driver's restart doesn't perform operations in the correct order, so promiscuous settings can get lost. Fix from Stefan Wahren. 11) Fix SKB leak in SCTP cookie handling, from Daniel Borkmann. 12) Reference count and memory leak fixes in TIPC from Ying Xue and Erik Hugne. 13) Forced eviction in inet_frag_evictor() must strictly make sure all frags are deleted, otherwise module unload (f.e. 6lowpan) can crash. Fix from Florian Westphal. 14) Remove assumptions in AF_UNIX's use of csum_partial() (which it uses as a hash function), which breaks on PowerPC. From Anton Blanchard. The main gist of the issue is that csum_partial() is defined only as a value that, once folded (f.e. via csum_fold()) produces a correct 16-bit checksum. It is legitimate, therefore, for csum_partial() to produce two different 32-bit values over the same data if their respective alignments are different. 15) Fix endiannes bug in MAC address handling of ibmveth driver, also from Anton Blanchard. 16) Error checks for ipv6 exthdrs offload registration are reversed, from Anton Nayshtut. 17) Externally triggered ipv6 addrconf routes should count against the garbage collection threshold. Fix from Sabrina Dubroca. 18) The PCI shutdown handler added to the bnx2 driver can wedge the chip if it was not brought up earlier already, which in particular causes the firmware to shut down the PHY. Fix from Michael Chan. 19) Adjust the sanity WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_list_add() because as currently coded it can and does trigger in legitimate situations. From Eric Dumazet. 20) BNA driver fails to build on ARM because of a too large udelay() call, fix from Ben Hutchings. 21) Fair-Queue qdisc holds locks during GFP_KERNEL allocations, fix from Eric Dumazet. 22) The vlan passthrough ops added in the previous release causes a regression in source MAC address setting of outgoing headers in some circumstances.
