1. Change first parameter from cnic_dev to ulp_handle which is the hba pointer. All other similar upcalls are using hba pointer. The callee can then directly reference the hba without conversion. 2. Change return value from void to int so that an error code can be passed back. This allows the operation to be retried. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit 86bcebaf ("tcp: fix >2 iw selection") fixed a case when congestion window initialization has been mistakenly omitted by introducing cwnd label and putting backwards goto from the end of the function. This makes the code unnecessarily tricky to read and understand on a first sight. Shuffle the code around a little bit to make it more obvious.

sfq_walk() runs without qdisc lock. By the time it selects a non empty hash slot and sfq_dump_class_stats() is run (with lock held), slot might have been freed : We then access q->slots[SFQ_EMPTY_SLOT], out of bounds, and crash in slot_queue_walk() On previous kernels, bug is here but out of bounds qs[SFQ_DEPTH] and allot[SFQ_DEPTH] are located in struct sfq_sched_data, so no illegal memory access happens, only possibly wrong data reported to user. Also, slot_dequeue_tail() should make sure slot skb chain is correctly terminated, or sfq_dump_class_stats() can access freed skbs.

The throughput LED trigger was always active when the radio was enabled. In most cases that's likely the desired behaviour, but iwlwifi requires it to be only active when one of the virtual interfaces is actually "connected" in some way.

iwlwifi and other drivers like to blink their LED based on throughput. Implement this generically in mac80211, based on a throughput table the driver specifies. That way, drivers can set the blink frequencies depending on their desired behaviour and max throughput. All the drivers need to do is provide an LED class device, best with blink hardware offload.

Johannes Berg authored
The throughput trigger will require doing LED classdev/trigger handling before register_hw(), so drivers should have access to the trigger names before it. If trigger registration fails, this will still make the trigger name available, but that's not a big problem since the default trigger will the simply not be found.

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.

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.

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.
