* mac80211: use wl18xx-fw-4.binHauke Mehrtens2015-09-111-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The driver only supports wl18xx-fw-4.bin and does not support the old firmware wl18xx-fw-3.bin and more. The wl18xx-conf.bin file was removed upstream it does not fit all devices any more, see this on how to generate one: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Open_Source_Wireless_Connectivity_wlconf If someone has a config file for the common platforms with the wifi nic OpenWrt uses please send a patch.

* brcm47xx: increase max image sizeHauke Mehrtens2015-09-111-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the trx utile uses a maximum image size of 7.2MB. There are brcm47xx devices even with serial flash with bigger flash chips, but OpenWrt was not able to create images for these devices. This patch provides an additional parameter which increases this limit to 32 MB. There is a warning in the trx utile code which suggests that bigger images could overwrite the nvram partition on some devices, but normally the program writing the image should make sure that it is safe to write it to the flash.

* comgt-ncm: Add possibility to choose PDP context typeSteven Barth2015-09-113-14/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By setting the option pdptype to IP, IPV6 or IPV4V6 the user can choose the context type between IPv4, IPv6 and dual stack, respectively. The default setting is dual stack, except if option ipv6=0 is specified, in which case IPv4 context is the default. This allows for an out-of-the-box IPv6 support with modems utilizing NCM-like protocols. While we are at it, also add commands for Sierra DirectIP modems (currently untested), which will allow us to drop the separate comgt-directip package (once tested and verified working).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the new --ip-family option to start both IPv4 and IPv6 sessions by default. Autoconnect can't be used when starting two sessions, so revert back to using the client IDs and packet data handles for handling the network connection. Some modem firmwares do not implement a RA server, therefore by default use outband IP configuration and static addressing. Some other firmwares report bogus IP configuration with the WDS get current settings command. In this case inband configuration with DHCP/RA can be optionally enabled by setting option dhcp to 1.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In krait_cpufreq_probe, both freq and max_cpu_freq are never initialized, so the max_cpu_freq will have a random value at the end. Fix this by properly initializing max_cpu_freq to 0 and storing the clk frequency in freq as well, to make it similar to how it's calculated in krait_set_target.

* generic: Fix per interface nf_call_iptables settingFelix Fietkau2015-09-093-537/+0

But this optimization breaks the nf_call_iptables per bridge setting which is more fine grained than the global sysctl net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables setting. A test reflecting a real world setup was created to identify if this really eliminates the overhead and if per-bridge nf_call_iptables could be used in some setups to increase the throughput. A Qualcomm Atheros QCA9558 based system with one ethernet and an ath9k wifi 3x3 in HT40 mode was used. Cables from the AP to the wifi station were used to reduce interference problems during the tests. The wlan interface was put in one bridge interface called br-wlan. This bridge usually contains some more wlan interfaces. The eth0 was put in a second bridge called br-lan. This usually contains some other privileged wlan or mesh interfaces. Routing was added between br-lan and br-wlan. Three kernels were tested: * (default) OpenWrt kernel for this device * (brfilter-global) OpenWrt kernel with CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER=y * (brfilter-local) OpenWrt kernel with CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER=y and without 644-bridge_optimize_netfilter_hooks.patch The changes to the the netfilter settings of the bridge were done via: * (brfilter-global) /sbin/sysctl -w net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1 * (brfilter-lobal) echo 1 > /sys/class/net/br-lan/bridge/nf_call_iptables and/or echo 1 > /sys/class/net/br-wan/bridge/nf_call_iptables A station connected to the wlan0 (AP) interface was used to send traffic to a PC connected via ethernet. iperf with 3 concurrent transmissions was used to generate the traffic. | kernel | br-nf-* global | nf-call* iface | download | upload | |-----------------|----------------|----------------|----------|----------| | default | 0 | - | 209 | 268 | | brfilter-global | 0 | - | 185 | 243 | | brfilter-local | 0 | - | 187 | 243 | | brfilter-local | 0 | br-lan | 157 | 226 | | brfilter-local | 0 | br-lan br-wlan | 139 | 161 | | brfilter-global | 1 | - | 136 | 162 | Download/upload results in Mibit/s It can be seen that the patch doesn't eliminate the overhead. It can also be seen that the throughput of brfilter-global and brfilter-local with disabled filtering is the roughly the same. Also the throughput for brfilter-global and brfilter-local for enabled filtering on all bridges is roughly the same. But also the brfilter-local throughput is higher when only br-lan requires the filtering. This setting would not be possible with 644-bridge_optimize_netfilter_hooks.patch applied and thus can only be compared with brfilter-global and filtering enabled for all interfaces.
