With increasing receive window sizes, but speed of light not improved that much, out of order queue can contain a huge number of skbs, waiting to be moved to receive_queue when missing packets can fill the holes. Some devices happen to use fat skbs (truesize of 4096 + sizeof(struct sk_buff)) to store regular (MTU <= 1500) frames. This makes highly probable sk_rmem_alloc hits sk_rcvbuf limit, which can be 4Mbytes in many cases. When limit is hit, tcp stack calls tcp_collapse_ofo_queue(), a true latency killer and cpu cache blower. Doing the coalescing attempt each time we add a frame in ofo queue permits to keep memory use tight and in many cases avoid the tcp_collapse() thing later. Tested on various wireless setups (b43, ath9k, ...) known to use big skb truesize, this patch removed the "packets collapsed in receive queue due to low socket buffer" I had before. This also reduced average memory used by tcp sockets. With help from Neal Cardwell.

Split tcp_data_queue() in two parts for better readability. tcp_data_queue_ofo() is responsible for queueing incoming skb into out of order queue. Change code layout so that the skb_set_owner_r() is performed only if skb is not dropped. This is a preliminary patch before "reduce out_of_order memory use" following patch.

The __netif_subqueue_stopped() just does the following: struct netdev_queue *txq = netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, queue_index); return netif_tx_queue_stopped(txq); and since we already have the txq in scope, we can just call that directly in this case.

Commit 28d82dc1 ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications to longer work (dovecot for one). The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting (since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

Pull networking changes from David Miller: "1) icmp6_dst_alloc() returns NULL instead of ERR_PTR() leading to crashes, particularly during shutdown. Reported by Dave Jones and fixed by Eric Dumazet. 2) hyperv and wimax/i2400m return NETDEV_TX_BUSY when they have already freed the SKB, which causes crashes as to the caller this means requeue the packet. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 3) usbnet driver doesn't allocate the right amount of headroom on fresh RX SKBs, fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) Fix regression in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu(), as an RCU lookup it abolutely should not take a reference to 'dev', this leads to leaks. Fix from RonQing Li. 5) Fix netfilter ctnetlink race between delete and timeout expiration. From Pablo Neira Ayuso. 6) Revert SFQ change which causes regressions, specifically queueing to tail can lead to unavoidable flow starvation. From Eric Dumazet. 7) Fix a memory leak and a crash on corrupt firmware files in bnx2x, from Michal Schmidt." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: netfilter: ctnetlink: fix race between delete and timeout expiration ipv6: Don't dev_hold(dev) in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu. wimax/i2400m: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use net/hyperv: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use net/usbnet: reserve headroom on rx skbs bnx2x: fix memory leak in bnx2x_init_firmware() bnx2x: fix a crash on corrupt firmware file sch_sfq: revert dont put new flow at the end of flows ipv6: fix icmp6_dst_alloc()

Kerin Millar reported hardlockups while running `conntrackd -c' in a busy firewall. That system (with several processors) was acting as backup in a primary-backup setup. After several tries, I found a race condition between the deletion operation of ctnetlink and timeout expiration. This patch fixes this problem.

This change makes it so that we always write the DMA address for the skb itself on the same tx_buffer struct that the skb is written on. This way we don't need the MAPPED_AS_PAGE flag and we always know it will be the first DMA value that we will have to unmap. In addition I have found an issue in which we were leaking a DMA mapping if the value happened to be 0 which is possible on some platforms. In order to resolve that I have updated the transmit path to use the length instead of the DMA mapping in order to determine if a mapping is actually present. One other tweak in this patch is that it only writes the olinfo information on the first descriptor. As it turns out it isn't necessary to write it for anything but the first descriptor so there is no need to carry it forward.

Instead of keeping a local copy of the skb on the stack for as long as long as we do it makes sense to instead just place it on the first tx_buffer structure so that we can save space on the stack and avoid unnecessary read/write operations copying the pointer out of the stack and onto the ring later.

A separate value was added to track Tx completions in order to determine if the Tx unit was hung.

This change makes it more likely that the descriptor flags setup will use cmov instructions instead of conditional jumps when setting up the flags. The advantage to this is that the code should just flow a bit more smoothly. To do this it is necessary to set the TX_FLAGS_CSUM bit in tx_flags when doing TSO so that we also do the checksum in addition to the segmentation offload.

This patch replaces the existing Rx hot-path in the ixgbe driver with a new implementation that is based on performing a double buffered receive. The ixgbe driver already had something similar in place for its' packet split path, however in that case we were still receiving the header for the packet into the sk_buff. The big change here is the entire receive path will receive into pages only, and then pull the header out of the page and copy it into the sk_buff data. There are several motivations behind this approach. First, this allows us to avoid several cache misses as we were taking a set of cache misses for allocating the sk_buff and then another set for receiving data into the sk_buff. We are able to avoid these misses on receive now as we allocate the sk_buff when data is available. Second we are able to see a considerable performance gain when an IOMMU is enabled because we are no longer unmapping every buffer on receive. Instead we can delay the unmap until we are unable to use the page, and instead we can simply call sync_single_range on the half of the page that contains new data. Finally we are able to drop a considerable amount of code from the driver as we no longer have to support 2 different receive modes, packet split and one buffer. This allows us to optimize the Rx path further since less branching is required.
