When a delayed ACK representing two packets arrives, there are two RTT samples available, one for each packet. The first (in order of seq number) will be artificially long due to the delay waiting for the second packet, the second will trigger the ACK and so will not itself be delayed. According to rfc1323, the SRTT used for RTO calculation should use the first rtt, so receivers echo the timestamp from the first packet in the delayed ack. For congestion control however, it seems measuring delayed ack delay is not desirable as it varies independently of congestion. The patch below causes seq_rtt and last_ackt to be updated with any available later packet rtts which should have less (and hopefully zero) delack delay. The rtt value then gets passed to ca_ops->pkts_acked(). Where TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP was set, effort was made to supress RTTs from within a TSO chunk (!fully_acked), using only the final ACK (which includes any TSO delay) to generate RTTs. This patch removes these checks so RTTs are passed for each ACK to ca_ops->pkts_acked(). For non-delay based congestion control (cubic, h-tcp), rtt is sometimes used for rtt-scaling. In shortening the RTT, this may make them a little less aggressive. Delay-based schemes (eg vegas, veno, illinois) should get a cleaner, more accurate congestion signal, particularly for small cwnds. The congestion control module can potentially also filter out bad RTTs due to the delayed ack alarm by looking at the associated cnt which (where delayed acking is in use) should probably be 1 if the alarm went off or greater if the ACK was triggered by a packet.

David Brownell pointed out a regression in my recent "Fix ip command line processing" patch. It turns out to be a fairly blatant oversight on my part whereby ic_enable is never set, and thus autoconfiguration is never enabled. Clearly my testing was broken :-( The solution that I have is to set ic_enable to 1 if we hit ip_auto_config_setup(), which basically means that autoconfiguration is activated unless told otherwise. I then flip ic_enable to 0 if ip=off, ip=none, ip=::::::off or ip=::::::none using ic_proto_name(); The incremental patch is below, let me know if a non-incremental version is prepared, as I did as for the original patch to be reverted pending a fix.

It appears that some PCI-E bridges do the wrong thing in the presense of CRS Software Visibility and MMCONFIG. In particular, it looks like an ATI bridge (device ID 7936) will return 0001 in the vendor ID field of any bridged devices indefinitely. Not enabling CRS SV avoids the problem, and as we currently do not really make good use of the feature anyway (we just time out rather than do any threaded discovery as suggested by the CRS specs), we're better off just not enabling it. This should fix a slew of problem reports with random devices (generally graphics adapters or fairly high-performance networking cards, since it only affected PCI-E) not getting properly recognized on these AMD systems. If we really want to use CRS-SV, we may end up eventually needing a whitelist of systems where this should be enabled, along with some kind of "pcibios_enable_crs()" query to call the system-specific code.

Fix a bug in the printing of the os-area magic numbers which assumed that magic numbers were zero terminated strings. The magic numbers are represented in memory as integers. If the os-area sections are not initialized correctly they could contained random data that would be printed to the display. Also unify the handling of header and db magic numbers and make both of type array of u8. Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Did not fix the reported issue. Apart from other weirdness this causes a bad link between the TLB flushing logic and the quicklists. If there is indeed an issue that an arch needs a tlb flush before free then the arch code needs to set tlb->need_flush before calling quicklist_free.

Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the latter is ignored and the default (on) is used. This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion. But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration. This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on) is the default. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Some users do "modprobe ip_conntrack hashsize=...". Since we have the module aliases this loads nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack, the hashsize parameter is unknown for nf_conntrack_ipv4 however and makes it fail. Allow to specify hashsize= for both nf_conntrack and nf_conntrack_ipv4. Note: the nf_conntrack message in the ringbuffer will display an incorrect hashsize since nf_conntrack is first pulled in as a dependency and calculates the size itself, then it gets changed through a call to nf_conntrack_set_hashsize().

This reverts commit fbdcf18d.

commit 528a572d ("ide: add ->chipset field to ide_pci_device_t") broke hwif->chipset setup (it is now set to ide_cmd646 for CMD648 instead of CMD646). It seems that the breakage happend while I was moving patches around (cmd64x_chipsets[] entries for CMD646 and CMD648 are identical except for 'name' field). Fix it and bump driver version.
