It's not too likely to happen, would basically require crafted packets (must hit the max guard in tcp_bound_to_half_wnd()). It seems that nothing that bad would happen as there's tcp_mems and congestion window that prevent runaway at some point from hurting all too much (I'm not that sure what all those zero sized segments we would generate do though in write queue). Preventing it regardless is certainly the best way to go. Signed-off-by:

The results is very unlikely change every so often so we hardly need to divide again after doing that once for a connection. Yet, if divide still becomes necessary we detect that and do the right thing and again settle for non-divide state. Takes the u16 space which was previously taken by the plain xmit_size_goal. This should take care part of the tso vs non-tso difference we found earlier. Signed-off-by:

There's very little need for most of the callsites to get tp->xmit_goal_size updated. That will cost us divide as is, so slice the function in two. Also, the only users of the tp->xmit_goal_size are directly behind tcp_current_mss(), so there's no need to store that variable into tcp_sock at all! The drop of xmit_goal_size currently leaves 16-bit hole and some reorganization would again be necessary to change that (but I'm aiming to fill that hole with u16 xmit_goal_size_segs to cache the results of the remaining divide to get that tso on regression). Bring xmit_goal_size parts into tcp.c Signed-off-by:

Wow, it was quite tricky to merge that stream of negations but I think I finally got it right: check & replace_ts_recent: (s32)(rcv_tsval - ts_recent) >= 0 => 0 (s32)(ts_recent - rcv_tsval) <= 0 => 0 discard: (s32)(ts_recent - rcv_tsval) > TCP_PAWS_WINDOW => 1 (s32)(ts_recent - rcv_tsval) <= TCP_PAWS_WINDOW => 0 I toggled the return values of tcp_paws_check around since the old encoding added yet-another negation making tracking of truth-values really complicated.

In the pure assignment case, the earlier zeroing is still in effect. David S. Miller raised concerns if the ifs are there to avoid dirtying cachelines. I came to these conclusions: > We'll be dirty it anyway (now that I check), the first "real" statement > in tcp_rcv_established is: > > tp->rx_opt.saw_tstamp = 0; > > ...that'll land on the same dword. :-/ > > I suppose the blocks are there just because they had more complexity > inside when they had to calculate the eff_sacks too (maybe it would > have been better to just remove them in that drop-patch so you would > have had less head-ache :-)).

While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla report on HTB oops: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12858 I found the code in htb_delete calling htb_destroy_class on zero refcount is very misleading: it can suggest this is a common path, and destroy is called under sch_tree_lock. Actually, this can never happen like this because before deletion cops->get() is done, and after delete a class is still used by tclass_notify. The class destroy is always called from cops->put(), so without sch_tree_lock. This doesn't mean much now (since 2.6.27) because all vulnerable calls were moved from htb_destroy_class to htb_delete, but there was a bug in older kernels. The same change is done for other classful scheds, which, it seems, didn't have similar locking problems here. Reported-by:

On x86_64, its rather unfortunate that "wait_queue_head_t wait" field of "struct socket" spans two cache lines (assuming a 64 bytes cache line in current cpus) offsetof(struct socket, wait)=0x30 sizeof(wait_queue_head_t)=0x18 This might explain why Kenny Chang noticed that his multicast workload was performing bad with 64 bit kernels, since more cache lines ping pongs were involved. This litle patch moves "wait" field next "fasync_list" so that both fields share a single cache line, to speedup sock_def_readable() Signed-off-by:

This patch enables the load balancing capability of firmware and hardware to spray traffic into different cpus through separate rx msix interrupts. The feature is being enabled for NX3031, NX2031 (old) will be enabled later. This depends on msi-x and compatibility with msi and legacy is maintained by enabling single rx ring. Signed-off-by:

There are possible times that a driver may fail to completely initialize, due to a buggy platform or a buggy kernel. In those cases, we'd rather fail gracefully instead of a panic.

This cleans up the following pieces of the Rx initialization path: - Enable the ECC memory fault interrupt in OTHER causes. - Fix an 82598 initialization of RDRXCTL when depending on RSS and VMDq to be enabled. We don't need these features enabled to safely set the MVMEN bit to allow multiple SRRCTL register mappings into the RXDCTL registers. - Fix the RSS initialization path to not stomp on DCB accidentally. When configuring the MRQC (multiple Rx queue contol) register, we want to make sure we only OR in features as necessary, instead of full assignment. Signed-off-by:

The Tx accounting when cleaning during NAPI was not completely properly. We should use the work_limit to determine when to finish cleaning, and use the same to return the cleaned status. The impact of running like this causes the NAPI clean for this Tx to get stuck in a scheduling loop, and can result in Tx not getting cleaned, ending with a Tx hang and device reset. Signed-off-by:

Occasionally if the driver was loaded in a system that didn't support MSI-X or MSI and was on a shared interrupt, the driver would then panic in NAPI on the first shared interrupt because we hadn't called napi_add yet. Solution: call napi_add before calling request_irq Signed-off-by:

The interrupt models using EITR have changed in 82599. The way the register is laid out, the change is transparent to some of the existing code. However, some of it isn't. This patch fixes all the cases where EITR handling is different than 82598. Signed-off-by:

I found the PPP subsystem to not work properly when connecting channels with different speeds to the same bundle. Problem Description: As the "ppp_mp_explode" function fragments the sk_buff buffer evenly among the PPP channels that are connected to a certain PPP unit to make up a bundle, if we are transmitting using an upper layer protocol that requires an Ack before sending the next packet (like TCP/IP for example), we will have a bandwidth bottleneck on the slowest channel of the bundle. Let's clarify by an example. Let's consider a scenario where we have two PPP links making up a bundle: a slow link (10KB/sec) and a fast link (1000KB/sec) working at the best (full bandwidth). On the top we have a TCP/IP stack sending a 1000 Bytes sk_buff buffer down to the PPP subsystem. The "ppp_mp_explode" function will divide the buffer in two fragments of 500B each (we are neglecting all the headers, crc, flags etc?.). Before the TCP/IP stack sends out the next buffer, it will have to wait for the ACK response from the remote peer, so it will have to wait for both fragments to have been sent over the two PPP links, received by the remote peer and reconstructed. The resulting behaviour is that, rather than having a bundle working @1010KB/sec (the sum of the channels bandwidths), we'll have a bundle working @20KB/sec (the double of the slowest channels bandwidth). Problem Solution: The problem has been solved by redesigning the "ppp_mp_explode" function in such a way to make it split the sk_buff buffer according to the speeds of the underlying PPP channels (the speeds of the serial interfaces respectively attached to the PPP channels). Referring to the above example, the redesigned "ppp_mp_explode" function will now divide the 1000 Bytes buffer into two fragments whose sizes are set according to the speeds of the channels where they are going to be sent on (e.g . 10 Byets on 10KB/sec channel and 990 Bytes on 1000KB/sec channel). The reworked function grants the same performances of the original one in optimal working conditions (i.e. a bundle made up of PPP links all working at the same speed), while greatly improving performances on the bundles made up of channels working at different speeds.

Windows (XP at least) hosts on boot, with configured static ip, performing address conflict detection, which is defined in RFC3927. Here is quote of important information: " An ARP announcement is identical to the ARP Probe described above, except that now the sender and target IP addresses are both set to the host's newly selected IPv4 address. " But it same time this goes wrong with RFC5227. " The 'sender IP address' field MUST be set to all zeroes; this is to avoid polluting ARP caches in other hosts on the same link in the case where the address turns out to be already in use by another host. " When ARP proxy configured, it must not answer to both cases, because it is address conflict verification in any case. For Windows it is just causing to detect false "ip conflict". Already there is code for RFC5227, so just trivially we just check also if source ip == target ip. Signed-off-by:

The original patch was submitted last year but wasn't discussed or applied because of missing maintainer's CCs. I only fixed some formatting errors, but as I saw tulip is very badly formatted and needs further work. Original description: This patch fixes MTU problem, which occurs when using 802.1q VLANs. We should allow receiving frames of up to 1518 bytes in length, instead of 1514. Based on patch written by Ben McKeegan for 2.4.x kernels. It is archived at http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan/howto.html#tulip I've adjusted a few things to make it apply on 2.6.x kernels. Tested on D-Link DFE-570TX quad-fastethernet card.
