Changes : - netif_queue_stopped need not be called inside qdisc_restart as it has been called already in qdisc_run() before the first skb is sent, and in __qdisc_run() after each intermediate skb is sent (note : we are the only sender, so the queue cannot get stopped while the tx lock was got in the ~LLTX case). - BUG_ON((int) q->q.qlen < 0) was a relic from old times when -1 meant more packets are available, and __qdisc_run used to loop when qdisc_restart() returned -1. During those days, it was necessary to make sure that qlen is never less than zero, since __qdisc_run would get into an infinite loop if no packets are on the queue and this bug in qdisc was there (and worse - no more skbs could ever get queue'd as we hold the queue lock too). With Herbert's recent change to return values, this check is not required. Hopefully Herbert can validate this change. If at all this is required, it should be added to skb_dequeue (in failure case), and not to qdisc_qlen. Signed-off-by: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

New changes : - Incorporated Peter Waskiewicz's comments. - Re-added back one warning message (on driver returning wrong value). Previous changes : - Converted to use switch/case code which looks neater. - "if (ret == NETDEV_TX_LOCKED && lockless)" is buggy, and the lockless check should be removed, since driver will return NETDEV_TX_LOCKED only if lockless is true and driver has to do the locking. In the original code as well as the latest code, this code can result in a bug where if LLTX is not set for a driver (lockless == 0) but the driver is written wrongly to do a trylock (despite LLTX being set), the driver returns LOCKED. But since lockless is zero, the packet is requeue'd instead of calling collision code which will issue warning and free up the skb. Instead this skb will be retried with this driver next time, and the same result will ensue. Removing this check will catch these driver bugs instead of hiding the problem. I am keeping this change to readability section since : a. it is confusing to check two things as it is; and b. it is difficult to keep this check in the changed 'switch' code. - Changed some names, like try_get_tx_pkt to dev_dequeue_skb (as that is the work being done and easier to understand) and do_dev_requeue to dev_requeue_skb, merged handle_dev_cpu_collision and tx_islocked to dev_handle_collision (handle_dev_cpu_collision is a small routine with only one caller, so there is no need to have two separate routines which also results in getting rid of two macros, etc. - Removed an XXX comment as it should never fail (I suspect this was related to batch skb WIP, Jamal ?). Converted some functions to original coding style of having the return values and the function name on same line, eg prio2list.

ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet currently returns 0 when the time difference between current time and t_nom is less than 1000 microseconds. In this case the packet is sent immediately; but, unlike other packets that can be emitted on first attempt, it will not have its window counter updated and its options set as required. This is a bug. Fix: Require the time difference to be at least 1000 microseconds. The algorithm then converges: time differences > 1000 microseconds trigger the timer in dccp_write_xmit; after timer expiry this function is tried again; when the time difference is less than 1000, the packet will have its options added and window counter updated as required.

Move some device initialization code to new dev->init callback to make it shareable with netlink. Additionally this fixes a minor bug, dev->iflink is set after registration, which causes an incorrect value in the initial netlink message.

Move the device lookup and checks to the ioctl handler under the RTNL and change all name-based interfaces to take a struct net_device * instead. This allows to use them from a netlink interface, which identifies devices based on ifindex not name. It also avoids races between the ioctl interface and the (upcoming) netlink interface since now all changes happen under the RTNL. As a nice side effect this greatly simplifies error handling in the helper functions and fixes a number of incorrect error codes like -EINVAL for device not found.

Currently the code for /proc/net/tcp disable BH while iterating over the entire established hash table. Even though we call cond_resched_softirq for each entry, we still won't process softirq's as regularly as we would otherwise do which results in poor performance when the system is loaded near capacity. This anomaly comes from the 2.4 code where this was all in a single function and the local_bh_disable might have made sense as a small optimisation. The cost of each local_bh_disable is so small when compared against the increased latency in keeping it disabled over a large but mostly empty TCP established hash table that we should just move it to the individual read_lock/read_unlock calls as we do in inet_diag.

This patch enhances TIPC's stream socket send routine so that it avoids transmitting data in chunks that require fragmentation and reassembly, thereby improving performance at both the sending and receiving ends of the connection. The "maximum packet size" hint that records MTU info allows the socket to decide how big a chunk it should send; in the event that the hint has become stale, fragmentation may still occur, but the data will be passed correctly and the hint will be updated in time for the following send. Note: The 66060 byte pseudo-MTU used for intra-node connections requires the send routine to perform an additional check to ensure it does not exceed TIPC"s limit of 66000 bytes of user data per chunk.
