      tcp: remove bad timeout logic in fast recovery · 3e59cb0d
      Yuchung Cheng authored
      tcp_timeout_skb() was intended to trigger fast recovery on timeout,
      unfortunately in reality it often causes spurious retransmission
      storms during fast recovery. The particular sign is a fast retransmit
      over the highest sacked sequence (SND.FACK).
      
      Currently the RTO timer re-arming (as in RFC6298) offers a nice cushion
      to avoid spurious timeout: when SND.UNA advances the sender re-arms
      RTO and extends the timeout by icsk_rto. The sender does not offset
      the time elapsed since the packet at SND.UNA was sent.
      
      But if the next (DUP)ACK arrives later than ~RTTVAR and triggers
      tcp_fastretrans_alert(), then tcp_timeout_skb() will mark any packet
      sent before the icsk_rto interval lost, including one that's above the
      highest sacked sequence. Most likely a large part of scorebard will be
      marked.
      
      If most packets are not lost then the subsequent DUPACKs with new SACK
      blocks will cause the sender to continue to retransmit packets beyond
      SND.FACK spuriously. Even if only one packet is lost the sender may
      falsely retransmit almost the entire window.
      
      The situation becomes common in the world of bufferbloat: the RTT
      continues to grow as the queue builds up but RTTVAR remains small and
      close to the minimum 200ms. If a data packet is lost and the DUPACK
      triggered by the next data packet is slightly delayed, then a spurious
      retransmission storm forms.
      
      As the original comment on tcp_timeout_skb() suggests: the usefulness
      of this feature is questionable. It also wastes cycles walking the
      sack scoreboard and is actually harmful because of false recovery.
      
      It's time to remove this.

      ipv6: add support of peer address · caeaba79
      Nicolas Dichtel authored
      This patch adds the support of peer address for IPv6. For example, it is
      possible to specify the remote end of a 6inY tunnel.
      This was already possible in IPv4:
       ip addr add ip1 peer ip2 dev dev1
      
      The peer address is specified with IFA_ADDRESS and the local address with
      IFA_LOCAL (like explained in include/uapi/linux/if_addr.h).
      Note that the API is not changed, because before this patch, it was not
      possible to specify two different addresses in IFA_LOCAL and IFA_REMOTE.
      There is a small change for the dump: if the peer is different from ::,
      IFA_ADDRESS will contain the peer address instead of the local address.

      qlge: fix dma map leak when the last chunk is not allocated · ef380794
      Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo authored
      qlge allocates chunks from a page that it maps and unmaps that page when
      the last chunk is released. When the driver is unloaded or the card is
      removed, all chunks are released and the page is unmapped for the last
      chunk.
      
      However, when the last chunk of a page is not allocated and the device
      is removed, that page is not unmapped. In fact, its last reference is
      not put and there's also a page leak. This bug prevents a device from
      being properly hotplugged.
      
      When the DMA API debug option is enabled, the following messages show
      the pending DMA allocation after we remove the driver.
      
      This patch fixes the bug by unmapping and putting the page from the ring
      if its last chunk has not been allocated.
      
      pci 0005:98:00.0: DMA-API: device driver has pending DMA allocations while released from device [count=1]

      drm/mgag200: Fix writes into MGA1064_PIX_CLK_CTL register · fb70a669
      Christopher Harvey authored
      The original line,
        WREG_DAC(MGA1064_PIX_CLK_CTL_CLK_DIS, tmp);
      wrote tmp into MGA1064_PIX_CLK_CTL_CLK_DIS, where
      MGA1064_PIX_CLK_CTL_CLK_DIS is an offset into
      MGA1064_PIX_CLK_CTL. Change the line to write properly into
      MGA1064_PIX_CLK_CTL. There were other chunks of code nearby that use
      the same pattern (but work correctly), so this patch updates them all
      to use this new (slightly more efficient) write pattern. The WREG_DAC
      macro was causing the DAC_INDEX register to be set to the same value
      twice. WREG8(DAC_DATA, foo) takes advantage of the fact that DAC_INDEX
      is already at the value we want.
