Dynamic Right Sizing (DRS) is supposed to open TCP receive window automatically, but suffers from two bugs, presented by order of importance. 1) tcp_rcv_space_adjust() fix : Using twice the last received amount is very pessimistic, because it doesn't allow fast recovery or proper slow start ramp up, if sender wants to increase cwin by 100% every RTT. copied = bytes received in previous RTT 2*copied = bytes we expect to receive in next RTT 4*copied = bytes we need to advertise in rwin at end of next RTT DRS is one RTT late, it needs a 4x factor. If sender is not using ABC, and increases cwin by 50% every rtt, then we needed 1.5*1.5 = 2.25 factor. This is probably why this bug was not really noticed. 2) There is no window adjustment after first RTT. DRS triggers only after the second RTT. DRS needs two RTT to initialize, so tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() should setup sk_rcvbuf to allow proper window grow for first two RTT. This patch increases TCP efficiency particularly for large RTT flows when autotuning is used at the receiver, and more particularly in presence of packet losses.

Halve mss table size to make blind cookie guessing more difficult. This is sad since the tables were already small, but there is little alternative except perhaps adding more precise mss information in the tcp timestamp. Timestamps are unfortunately not ubiquitous. Guessing all possible cookie values still has 8-in 2**32 chance. Reported-by: Jakob Lell <jakob@jakoblell.com> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

We currently accept cookies that were created less than 4 minutes ago (ie, cookies with counter delta 0-3). Combined with the 8 mss table values, this yields 32 possible values (out of 2**32) that will be valid. Reducing the lifetime to < 2 minutes halves the guessing chance while still providing a large enough period. While at it, get rid of jiffies value -- they overflow too quickly on 32 bit platforms. getnstimeofday is used to create a counter that increments every 64s. perf shows getnstimeofday cost is negible compared to sha_transform; normal tcp initial sequence number generation uses getnstimeofday, too.

Mugunthan V N says: ==================== This patch series adds the support for configuring GMII_SEL register of control module to select the phy mode type and also to configure the clock source for RMII phy mode whether to use internal clock or the external clock from the phy itself. Till now CPSW works as this configuration is done in U-Boot and carried over to the kernel. But during suspend/resume Control module tends to lose its configured value for GMII_SEL register in AM33xx PG1.0, so if CPSW is used in RMII or RGMII mode, on resume cpsw is not working as GMII_SEL register lost its configuration values. The initial version of the patch is done by Daniel Mack but as per Tony's comment he wants it as a seperate driver as it is done in USB control module. I have created a seperate driver for the same. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Phy mode can be configured via the cpsw-phy-sel driver, this patch enabled the cpsw driver to utilise the api provided by the cpsw-phy-sel driver to configure the phy mode.

The cpsw currently lacks code to properly set up the hardware interface mode on AM33xx. Other platforms might be equally affected. Usually, the bootloader will configure the control module register, so probably that's why such support wasn't needed in the past. In suspend mode though, this register is modified, and so it needs reprogramming after resume. This patch adds a new driver in which hardware interface can configure correct register bits when the slave is opened. The AM33xx also has a bit for each slave to configure the RMII reference clock direction. Setting it is now supported by a per-slave DT property. This code path introducted by this patch is currently exclusive for am33xx and same can be extened to various platforms via the DT compatibility property.

This patch cleans up the allocation and error unwind paths, which allows us to carry less information in struct cpsw_priv and reduce the amount of jump labels in the probe functions.

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.
