Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Fix bluetooth userland regression reported by Keith Packard, from
    Gustavo Padovan.

 2) Revert ath9k PS idle change, from Sujith Manoharan.

 3) Correct default TCP memory limits (again), from Eric Dumazet.

 4) Fix tcp_rcv_rtt_update() accidental use of unscaled RTT, from Neal
    Cardwell.

 5) We made a facility for layers like wireless to say how much tailroom
    they need in the SKB for link layer stuff such as wireless
    encryption etc., but TCP works hard to fill every SKB out to the end
    defeating this specification.

    This leads to every TCP packet getting reallocated by the wireless
    code in order to have the right amount of tailroom available.

    Fix TCP to only fill SKBs out to the real amount of data area it
    asked for during the allocation, this way it won't eat into the
    slack added for the device's tailroom needs.

    Reported by Marc Merlin and fixed by Eric Dumazet.

 6) Leaks, endian bugs, and new device IDs in bluetooth from Santosh
    Nayak, João Paulo Rechi Vita, Cho, Yu-Chen, Andrei Emeltchenko,
    AceLan Kao, and Andrei Emeltchenko.

 7) OOPS on tty_close fix in bluetooth's hci_ldisc from Johan Hovold.

 8) netfilter erroneously scales TCP window twice, fix from Changli Gao.

 9) Memleak fix in wext-core from Julia Lawall.

10) Consistently handle invalid TCP packets in ipv4 vs.  ipv6 conntrack,
    from Jozsef Kadlecsik.

11) Validate IP header length properly in netfilter conntrack's
    ipv4_get_l4proto().

tcp: avoid order-1 allocations on wifi and tx path

2012-04-11T14:11:12+00:00

Marc Merlin reported many order-1 allocations failures in TX path on its
wireless setup, that dont make any sense with MTU=1500 network, and non
SG capable hardware.

After investigation, it turns out TCP uses sk_stream_alloc_skb() and
used as a convention skb_tailroom(skb) to know how many bytes of data
payload could be put in this skb (for non SG capable devices)

Note : these skb used kmalloc-4096 (MTU=1500 + MAX_HEADER +
sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) being above 2048)

Later, mac80211 layer need to add some bytes at the tail of skb
(IEEE80211_ENCRYPT_TAILROOM = 18 bytes) and since no more tailroom is
available has to call pskb_expand_head() and request order-1
allocations.

This patch changes sk_stream_alloc_skb() so that only
sk->sk_prot->max_header bytes of headroom are reserved, and use a new
skb field, avail_size to hold the data payload limit.

This way, order-0 allocations done by TCP stack can leave more than 2 KB
of tailroom and no more allocation is performed in mac80211 layer (or
any layer needing some tailroom)

avail_size is unioned with mark/dropcount, since mark will be set later
in IP stack for output packets. Therefore, skb size is unchanged.

net: allow pskb_expand_head() to get maximum tailroom

2012-04-11T14:10:43+00:00

Marc Merlin reported many order-1 allocations failures in TX path on its
wireless setup, that dont make any sense with MTU=1500 network, and non
SG capable hardware.

Turns out part of the problem comes from pskb_expand_head() not using
ksize() to get exact head size given by kmalloc(). Doing the same thing
than __alloc_skb() allows more tailroom in skb and can prevent future
reallocations.

As a bonus, struct skb_shared_info becomes cache line aligned.

bridge: Do not send queries on multicast group leaves

2012-04-11T13:43:13+00:00

As it stands the bridge IGMP snooping system will respond to
group leave messages with queries for remaining membership.
This is both unnecessary and undesirable.  First of all any
multicast routers present should be doing this rather than us.
What's more the queries that we send may end up upsetting other
multicast snooping swithces in the system that are buggy.

In fact, we can simply remove the code that send these queries
because the existing membership expiry mechanism doesn't rely
on them anyway.

So this patch simply removes all code associated with group
queries in response to group leave messages.

tcp: fix tcp_rcv_rtt_update() use of an unscaled RTT sample

2012-04-10T18:47:09+00:00

Fix a code path in tcp_rcv_rtt_update() that was comparing scaled and
unscaled RTT samples.

The intent in the code was to only use the 'm' measurement if it was a
new minimum.  However, since 'm' had not yet been shifted left 3 bits
but 'new_sample' had, this comparison would nearly always succeed,
leading us to erroneously set our receive-side RTT estimate to the 'm'
sample when that sample could be nearly 8x too high to use.

The overall effect is to often cause the receive-side RTT estimate to
be significantly too large (up to 40% too large for brief periods in
my tests).

tcp: restore correct limit

2012-04-10T18:39:26+00:00

Commit c43b874d5d714f (tcp: properly initialize tcp memory limits) tried
to fix a regression added in commits 4acb4190 & 3dc43e3,
but still get it wrong.

Result is machines with low amount of memory have too small tcp_rmem[2]
value and slow tcp receives : Per socket limit being 1/1024 of memory
instead of 1/128 in old kernels, so rcv window is capped to small
values.

Fix this to match comment and previous behavior.
