      tcp: TCP Small Queues and strange attractors · 9b462d02
      Eric Dumazet authored
      TCP Small queues tries to keep number of packets in qdisc
      as small as possible, and depends on a tasklet to feed following
      packets at TX completion time.
      Choice of tasklet was driven by latencies requirements.
      
      Then, TCP stack tries to avoid reorders, by locking flows with
      outstanding packets in qdisc in a given TX queue.
      
      What can happen is that many flows get attracted by a low performing
      TX queue, and cpu servicing TX completion has to feed packets for all of
      them, making this cpu 100% busy in softirq mode.
      
      This became particularly visible with latest skb->xmit_more support
      
      Strategy adopted in this patch is to detect when tcp_wfree() is called
      from ksoftirqd and let the outstanding queue for this flow being drained
      before feeding additional packets, so that skb->ooo_okay can be set
      to allow select_queue() to select the optimal queue :
      
      Incoming ACKS are normally handled by different cpus, so this patch
      gives more chance for these cpus to take over the burden of feeding
      qdisc with future packets.

      Unlike normal kfree() it is never right to call sock_kfree_s() with
      a NULL pointer, because sock_kfree_s() also has the side effect of
      discharging the memory from the sockets quota.

      ====================
      stmmac: review and fix the dwmac-sti glue-logic
      
      This patch is to review the whole glue logic adopted on STi SoCs that
      was bugged.
      In the old glue-logic there was a lot of confusion when setup the
      retiming especially for STiD127 where, for example, the bits 6 and 7
      (in the GMAC  control register) have a different meaning of what is
      used for STiH4xx SoCs. So we cannot adopt the same glue for all these
      SoCs.
      Moreover, GiGa on STiD127 didn't work and, for all the SoCs, the RGMII
      couldn't run when the speed was 10Mbps (because the clock was not properly
      managed).
      Note that the phy clock needs to be provided by the platform as well as
      documented in the related binding file (updated as consequence).
      
      The old code supported too many configurations never adopted and validated.
      This made the code very complex to maintain and debug in case of issues.
      
      The patch simplifies all the configurations as commented in the tables
      inside the file and obviously it has been tested on all the boards
      based on the SoCs mentioned.
      
      With this patch, the dwmac-sti is also ready to support new configurations that
      will be available on next SoC generations.
