There are some places marked
/* XXX maybe racy? */
and they really are racy because there's no locking.
This patch reworks much of the scan code, and introduces proper
locking for the scan request as well as the internal scanning
(which is necessary for IBSS/managed modes). Helper functions
are added to call the scanning code whenever necessary. The
scan deferring is changed to simply queue the scanning work
instead of trying to start the scan in place, the scanning work
will then take care of the rest.
Also, currently when internal scans are requested for an interface
that is trying to associate, we reject such scans. This was not
intended, the mlme code has provisions to scan twice when it can't
find the BSS to associate with right away; this has never worked
properly. Fix this by not rejecting internal scan requests for an
interface that is associating.

There are a few problems in the IBSS code:
a) it tries to activate interfaces that are down after scanning
b) it crashes after scanning on an IBSS iface that isn't active
c) since the ssid_len is used as a flag, need to make it visible
only after all other settings are set, this helps protect

This should be very safe compared with full enabled, so I see
no reason why it shouldn't be done right away. As ECN can only
be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it,
somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If
SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical
to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe.
The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which
choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but
silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested
ECN off.
Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but
unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers
aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur
if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's
any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't
support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After
enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end
enable really has some potential gain too.

The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.
This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

The Bluetooth 2.1 specification introduced four different security modes
that can be mapped using Legacy Pairing and Simple Pairing. With the
usage of Simple Pairing it is required that all connections (except
the ones for SDP) are encrypted. So even the low security requirement
mandates an encrypted connection when using Simple Pairing. When using
Legacy Pairing (for Bluetooth 2.0 devices and older) this is not required
since it causes interoperability issues.
To support this properly the low security requirement translates into
different host controller transactions depending if Simple Pairing is
supported or not. However in case of Simple Pairing the command to
switch on encryption after a successful authentication is not triggered
for the low security mode. This patch fixes this and actually makes
the logic to differentiate between Simple Pairing and Legacy Pairing
a lot simpler.

The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL
links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be
terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing
when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point
no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within
10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem
since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections
for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks
that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the
support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure
needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing
When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference
counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible
since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken
Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to
deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be
introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is
triggered.
If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the
worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds
instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and
broken devices now.

In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.
Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2
Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
37e5540b3c
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)
Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.
This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.

Right now we have no upper limit on the size of the route cache hash table.
On a 128GB POWER6 box it ends up as 32MB:
IP route cache hash table entries: 4194304 (order: 9, 33554432 bytes)
It would be nice to cap this for memory consumption reasons, but a massive
hashtable also causes a significant spike when measuring OS jitter.
With a 32MB hashtable and 4 million entries, rt_worker_func is taking
5 ms to complete. On another system with more memory it's taking 14 ms.
Even though rt_worker_func does call cond_sched() to limit its impact,
in an HPC environment we want to keep all sources of OS jitter to a minimum.
With the patch applied we limit the number of entries to 512k which
can still be overriden by using the rt_entries boot option:

When I initially implemented this protocol, I disregarded the use of netlink

trailing data in a netlink skb that doesn't have an associated header on it. As
such, I'm going to start including attribute headers in my netlink transaction,

The SO_MSGLIMIT socket option modifies the message limit for new

The message limit specifies the maximum number of outstanding messages
that are allowed for connections. This setting can be lowered by z/VM
when an IUCV connection is established.
Expects an integer value in the range of 1 to 65535.
The default value is 65535.
The message limit must be set before calling connect() or listen()
for sockets.
If sockets are already connected or in state listen, changing the message
limit is not supported.
For reading the message limit value, unconnected sockets return the limit
that has been set or the default limit. For connected sockets, the actual
message limit is returned. The actual message limit is assigned by z/VM
for each connection and it depends on IUCV MSGLIMIT authorizations

The patch allows to send and receive data in the parameter list of an
iucv message.
The parameter list is an arry of 8 bytes that are used by af_iucv as
follows:
0..6 7 bytes for socket data and
7 1 byte to store the data length.
Instead of storing the data length directly, the difference
between 0xFF and the data length is used.
This convention does not interfere with the existing use of PRM
messages for shutting down the send direction of an AF_IUCV socket
(shutdown() operation). Data lenghts greater than 7 (or PRM message
byte 8 is less than 0xF8) denotes to special messages.
Currently, the special SEND_SHUTDOWN message is supported only.
To use IPRM messages, both communicators must set the IUCV_IPRMDATA
flag during path negotiation, i.e. in iucv_connect() and
path_pending().
To be compatible to older af_iucv implementations, sending PRM
messages is controlled by the socket option SO_IPRMDATA_MSG.
Receiving PRM messages does not depend on the socket option (but
requires the IUCV_IPRMDATA path flag to be set).
Sending/Receiving data in the parameter list improves performance for
small amounts of data by reducing message_completion() interrupts and
memory copy operations.
