Two be able to network code two packets, one packet must be buffered until the next is available. This is done in a "coding buffer", which is essentially a hash table with lists of packets. Each entry in the hash table corresponds to a specific src-dst pair, which has a linked list of packets that are buffered. This patch adds skbs to the buffer just before forwarding them. The buffer is traversed every 10 ms, where timed skbs are removed from the buffer and transmitted. To allow experiments with the network coding scheme, the timeout is tunable through a file in debugfs. Signed-off-by:

To use network coding efficiently, a relay must know when neighbor nodes are likely to have enough information to be able to decode a network coded packet. This is detected by using OGMs from batman-adv to discover when one neighbor is in range of another neighbor. The relay check the TLL to detect when an OGM is forwarded from one neighbor by another neighbor, and thereby knows that the two neighbors are in range and thus overhear packets sent by each other. This information is saved in the orig_node struct to be used when searching for coding opportunities. Two lists are added to the orig_node struct: One for neighbors that can hear the orig_node (outgoing nc_nodes) and one for neighbors that the orig_node can hear (incoming nc_nodes). Information about nc_nodes is kept for 10 seconds and is available through debugfs in batman_adv/nc_nodes to use when debugging network coding. Signed-off-by:

Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay. In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one from Node B to Node A: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <--- p2 ---- Node R Node B 4. Node A Node R ---- p1 ---> Node B With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves us one slot of valuable airtime: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <- p1 x p2 - Node R - p1 x p2 -> Node B The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D, respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save one transmission: Node A Node B | \ / | | p1 p2 | | \ / | p1 > Node R < p2 | | | / \ | | p1 x p2 p1 x p2 | v / \ v / \ Node C < > Node D More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1]. This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and also because it adds a small delay at each hop.

This has been tested on a qnap TS-119P II. Note that enabling WOL with "ethtool -s eth0 wol g" is not enough; you also need to tell the PIC microcontroller inside the qnap that WOL should be enabled by sending 0xF2 with qcontrol(1) and you have to disable EUP ("Energy-using Products", a European power-saving thing) by sending 0xF4.

This is the second of the TLP patch series; it augments the basic TLP algorithm with a loss detection scheme. This patch implements a mechanism for loss detection when a Tail loss probe retransmission plugs a hole thereby masking packet loss from the sender. The loss detection algorithm relies on counting TLP dupacks as outlined in Sec. 3 of: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01 The basic idea is: Sender keeps track of TLP "episode" upon retransmission of a TLP packet. An episode ends when the sender receives an ACK above the SND.NXT (tracked by tlp_high_seq) at the time of the episode. We want to make sure that before the episode ends the sender receives a "TLP dupack", indicating that the TLP retransmission was unnecessary, so there was no loss/hole that needed plugging. If the sender gets no TLP dupack before the end of the episode, then it reduces ssthresh and the congestion window, because the TLP packet arriving at the receiver probably plugged a hole.

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. Signed-off-by:

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.
