This patch series implement the Tail loss probe (TLP) algorithm described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01. The first patch implements the basic algorithm. TLP's goal is to reduce tail latency of short transactions. It achieves this by converting retransmission timeouts (RTOs) occuring due to tail losses (losses at end of transactions) into fast recovery. TLP transmits one packet in two round-trips when a connection is in Open state and isn't receiving any ACKs. The transmitted packet, aka loss probe, can be either new or a retransmission. When there is tail loss, the ACK from a loss probe triggers FACK/early-retransmit based fast recovery, thus avoiding a costly RTO. In the absence of loss, there is no change in the connection state. PTO stands for probe timeout. It is a timer event indicating that an ACK is overdue and triggers a loss probe packet. The PTO value is set to max(2*SRTT, 10ms) and is adjusted to account for delayed ACK timer when there is only one oustanding packet. TLP Algorithm On transmission of new data in Open state: -> packets_out > 1: schedule PTO in max(2*SRTT, 10ms). -> packets_out == 1: schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms) -> PTO = min(PTO, RTO) Conditions for scheduling PTO: -> Connection is in Open state. -> Connection is either cwnd limited or no new data to send. -> Number of probes per tail loss episode is limited to one. -> Connection is SACK enabled. When PTO fires: new_segment_exists: -> transmit new segment. -> packets_out++. cwnd remains same. no_new_packet: -> retransmit the last segment. Its ACK triggers FACK or early retransmit based recovery. ACK path: -> rearm RTO at start of ACK processing. -> reschedule PTO if need be. In addition, the patch includes a small variation to the Early Retransmit (ER) algorithm, such that ER and TLP together can in principle recover any N-degree of tail loss through fast recovery. TLP is controlled by the same sysctl as ER, tcp_early_retrans sysctl. tcp_early_retrans==0; disables TLP and ER. ==1; enables RFC5827 ER. ==2; delayed ER. ==3; TLP and delayed ER. [DEFAULT] ==4; TLP only. The TLP patch series have been extensively tested on Google Web servers. It is most effective for short Web trasactions, where it reduced RTOs by 15% and improved HTTP response time (average by 6%, 99th percentile by 10%). The transmitted probes account for <0.5% of the overall transmissions.

Virtual functions don't have access to HW registers, therefore most ethtool ops are forbidden to them. Instead of checking in each op whether the device being driven is a virtual function or a physical function, this patch creates a separate ethtool ops struct for virtual functions and uses it to initialize the ethtool ops of the driver in case it is driving a virtual function device.

This is needed in order to detect if the timestamp option appears more than once in a packet, to remove the option if the packet is fragmented, etc. My previous change neglected to store the option location when the router addresses were prespecified and Pointer > Length. But now the option location is also stored when Flag is an unrecognized value, to ensure these option handling behaviors are still performed.

Ben Hutchings says: ==================== 1. Merge sfc changes (only) accepted for 3.9. 2. PTP improvements from Laurence Evans. 3. Overhaul of RX buffer management: - Always allocate pages, and enable scattering where possible - Fit as many buffers as will fit into a page, rather than limiting to 2 - Introduce recycle rings to reduce the need for IOMMU mapping and unmapping 4. PCI error recovery (AER and EEH) implementation. 5. Fix a bug in RX filter replacement. 6. Fix configuration with 1 RX queue in the PF and multiple RX queues in VFs. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
