The qdisc supports two operations - plug and unplug. When the qdisc receives a plug command via netlink request, packets arriving henceforth are buffered until a corresponding unplug command is received. Depending on the type of unplug command, the queue can be unplugged indefinitely or selectively. This qdisc can be used to implement output buffering, an essential functionality required for consistent recovery in checkpoint based fault-tolerance systems. Output buffering enables speculative execution by allowing generated network traffic to be rolled back. It is used to provide network protection for Xen Guests in the Remus high availability project, available as part of Xen. This module is generic enough to be used by any other system that wishes to add speculative execution and output buffering to its applications. This module was originally available in the linux 2.6.32 PV-OPS tree, used as dom0 for Xen. For more information, please refer to http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/ and http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Remus Changes in V3: * Removed debug output (printk) on queue overflow * Added TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE - that allows the user to use this qdisc, for simple plug/unplug operations. * Use of packet counts instead of pointers to keep track of the buffers in the queue.

The majority of the e1000e code checks most function return values using a test like 'if (ret_val)' or 'if (!ret_val)' but there are a few instances of 'if (ret_val == 0)'.

The existing ITR code is broken and confusing, with lots of similarly-named variables that do different things. Additionally, after the driver carefully determines the optimal interrupt rate for the adapter, it then ignores it and always writes a fixed, suboptimal value. This patch refactors that code to make variable names more descriptive of what they actually do, and then actually writes the calculated result to the hardware. Preliminary testing shows that netperf TCP_STREAM tests goes from ~918Mbps to ~940Mbps, and TCP_RR goes from ~2k transactions/sec up to > 8k.

Removes code that alters the publication key of a name table entry that is being forcibly purged from TIPC's name table after contact with the publishing node has been lost. Current TIPC ensures that all defunct names are purged before re-establishing contact with a failed node. There used to be a risk that the publication might be accidentally deleted because it might be re-added to the name table before the purge operation was completed. But now there is no longer a need to ensure that the new key is different than the old one.

Modifies broadcast link so that an incoming fragmented message is not lost if reassembly cannot begin because there currently is no buffer big enough to hold the entire reassembled message. The broadcast link now ignores the first fragment completely, which causes the sending node to retransmit the first fragment so that reassembly can be re-attempted. Previously, the sender would have had no reason to retransmit the 1st fragment, so we would never have a chance to re-try the allocation. To do this cleanly without duplicaton, a new bclink_accept_pkt() function is introduced.

Completely redesigns broadcast link ACK and NACK mechanisms to prevent spurious retransmit requests in dual LAN networks, and to prevent the broadcast link from stalling due to the failure of a receiving node to acknowledge receiving a broadcast message or request its retransmission. Note: These changes only impact the timing of when ACK and NACK messages are sent, and not the basic broadcast link protocol itself, so inter- operability with nodes using the "classic" algorithms is maintained. The revised algorithms are as follows: 1) An explicit ACK message is still sent after receiving 16 in-sequence messages, and implicit ACK information continues to be carried in other unicast link message headers (including link state messages). However, the timing of explicit ACKs is now based on the receiving node's absolute network address rather than its relative network address to ensure that the failure of another node does not delay the ACK beyond its 16 message target. 2) A NACK message is now typically sent only when a message gap persists for two consecutive incoming link state messages; this ensures that a suspected gap is not confirmed until both LANs in a dual LAN network have had an opportunity to deliver the message, thereby preventing spurious NACKs. A NACK message can also be generated by the arrival of a single link state message, if the deferred queue is so big that the current message gap cannot be the result of "normal" mis-ordering due to the use of dual LANs (or one LAN using a bonded interface). Since link state messages typically arrive at different nodes at different times the problem of multiple nodes issuing identical NACKs simultaneously is inherently avoided. 3) Nodes continue to "peek" at NACK messages sent by other nodes. If another node requests retransmission of a message gap suspected (but not yet confirmed) by the peeking node, the peeking node forgets about the gap and does not generate a duplicate retransmit request. (If the peeking node subsequently fails to receive the lost message, later link state messages will cause it to rediscover and confirm the gap and send another NACK.) 4) Message gap "equality" is now determined by the start of the gap only. This is sufficient to deal with the most common cases of message loss, and eliminates the need for complex end of gap computations. 5) A peeking node no longer tries to determine whether it should send a complementary NACK, since the most common cases of message loss don't require it to be sent. Consequently, the node no longer examines the "broadcast tag" field of a NACK message when peeking.

Fixes a pair of problems in broadcast link message reception code relating to the reclamation of the node lock after consuming an in-sequence message. 1) Now retests to see if the sending node is still up after reclaiming the node lock, and bails out if it is non-operational. 2) Now manipulates the node's deferred message queue only after reclaiming the node lock, rather than using queue head pointer information that was cached previously.

Corrects a problem in which a link endpoint that activates as the result of receiving a RESET/STATE sequence of link protocol messages fails to properly record the broadcast link status information about the node to which it is now communicating with. (The problem does not occur with the more common RESET/ACTIVATE sequence of messages.) The fix ensures that the broadcast link status info is updated after the RESET message resets the link endpoint, rather than before, thereby preventing new information from being overwritten by the reset operation.

Fix a bug that can prevent TIPC from sending broadcast messages to a node if contact with the node is lost and then regained. The problem occurs if the broadcast link first clears the flag indicating the node is part of the link's distribution set (when it loses contact with the node), and later fails to restore the flag (when contact is regained); restoration fails if contact with the node is regained by implicit unicast link activation triggered by the arrival of a data message, rather than explicitly by the arrival of a link activation message. The broadcast link now uses separate fields to track whether a node is theoretically capable of receiving broadcast messages versus whether it is actually part of the link's distribution set. The former member is updated by the receipt of link protocol messages, which can occur at any time; the latter member is updated only when contact with the node is gained or lost. This change also permits the simplification of several conditional expressions since the broadcast link's "supported" field can now only be set if there are working links to the associated node.

Ensure that sequence number information about incoming broadcast link messages is initialized only by the activation of the first link to a given cluster node. Previously, a race condition allowed reset and/or activation messages for a second link to re-initialize this sequence number information with obsolete values. This could trigger TIPC to request the retransmission of previously acknowledged broadcast link messages from that node, resulting in broadcast link processing becoming stalled if the node had already released one or more of those messages and was unable to perform the required retransmission.

Ensures that a link endpoint discards any previously deferred link protocol message whenever it attempts to send a new one. Previously, it was possible for a link protocol message that was unsent due to congestion to be transmitted after newer protocol messages had been sent. The stale link protocol message might then cause the receiving link endpoint to malfunction because of its outdated conent.
