We can translate pseudo load instructions at filter check time to dedicated instructions to speed up filtering and avoid one switch(). libpcap currently uses SKF_AD_PROTOCOL, but custom filters probably use other ancillary accesses. Note : I made the assertion that ancillary data was always accessed with BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_ABS instructions, not with BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_IND ones (offset given by K constant, not by K + X register) On x86_64, this saves a few bytes of text : # size net/core/filter.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 4864 0 0 4864 1300 net/core/filter.o.new 4944 0 0 4944 1350 net/core/filter.o.old Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Michael pointed out that bnx2_close() already cancels bp->reset_task and thus it is guaranteed to be idle when bnx2_remove_one() is called. Remove the unnecessary cancel_work_sync() in remove_one.

The original code had a several problems: *) It had potential null dereferences of "priv" and "res". *) It released the memory region before it was aquired. *) It didn't free "ndev" after it was allocated. *) It didn't call unregister_netdev() after calling stmmac_probe().

We dereferenced params on the line before so it's too late to check if params is NULL. In fact, params can never be NULL and strict_cos is either 0 or 1 so that part of the check is bogus too.

This is a generalization of commit 8caf1539 (net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.) This way, we can have a good idea when packets are delivered to our stack (tcpdump -i ifb0), while a tcpdump on original device gives timestamps right before ingressing. This also speedup our stack, avoiding taking timestamps if not needed.

This patch changes the default initial receive window to 10 mss (defined constant). The default window is limited to the maximum of 10*1460 and 2*mss (when mss > 1460). draft-ietf-tcpm-initcwnd-00 is a proposal to the IETF that recommends increasing TCP's initial congestion window to 10 mss or about 15KB. Leading up to this proposal were several large-scale live Internet experiments with an initial congestion window of 10 mss (IW10), where we showed that the average latency of HTTP responses improved by approximately 10%. This was accompanied by a slight increase in retransmission rate (0.5%), most of which is coming from applications opening multiple simultaneous connections. To understand the extreme worst case scenarios, and fairness issues (IW10 versus IW3), we further conducted controlled testbed experiments. We came away finding minimal negative impact even under low link bandwidths (dial-ups) and small buffers. These results are extremely encouraging to adopting IW10. However, an initial congestion window of 10 mss is useless unless a TCP receiver advertises an initial receive window of at least 10 mss. Fortunately, in the large-scale Internet experiments we found that most widely used operating systems advertised large initial receive windows of 64KB, allowing us to experiment with a wide range of initial congestion windows. Linux systems were among the few exceptions that advertised a small receive window of 6KB. The purpose of this patch is to fix this shortcoming. References: 1.

Here is a respin of patch. I'll send a short patch to make SFQ more fair in presence of large packets as well. Thanks [PATCH v3 net-next-2.6] net_sched: sch_sfq: better struct layouts This patch shrinks sizeof(struct sfq_sched_data) from 0x14f8 (or more if spinlocks are bigger) to 0x1180 bytes, and reduce text size as well. text data bss dec hex filename 4821 152 0 4973 136d old/net/sched/sch_sfq.o 4627 136 0 4763 129b new/net/sched/sch_sfq.o All data for a slot/flow is now grouped in a compact and cache friendly structure, instead of being spreaded in many different points. struct sfq_slot { struct sk_buff *skblist_next; struct sk_buff *skblist_prev; sfq_index qlen; /* number of skbs in skblist */ sfq_index next; /* next slot in sfq chain */ struct sfq_head dep; /* anchor in dep[] chains */ unsigned short hash; /* hash value (index in ht[]) */ short allot; /* credit for this slot */ }; Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Cc: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

When deploying SFQ/IFB here at work, I found the allot management was pretty wrong in sfq, even changing allot from short to int... We should init allot for each new flow, not using a previous value found in slot. Before patch, I saw bursts of several packets per flow, apparently denying the default "quantum 1514" limit I had on my SFQ class. class sfq 11:1 parent 11: (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 7p requeues 0 allot 11546 class sfq 11:46 parent 11: (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 1p requeues 0 allot -23873 class sfq 11:78 parent 11: (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 5p requeues 0 allot 11393 After patch, better fairness among each flow, allot limit being respected, allot is positive : class sfq 11:e parent 11: (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 86) backlog 0b 3p requeues 86 allot 596 class sfq 11:94 parent 11: (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 3p requeues 0 allot 1468 class sfq 11:a4 parent 11: (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 4p requeues 0 allot 650 class sfq 11:bb parent 11: (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 3p requeues 0 allot 596 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
