This patch resolves a long-standing FIXME to dynamically update the Maximum Packet Size depending on actual options usage. It uses the flags set by the feature-negotiation infrastructure to compute the required header option size. Most options are fixed-size, a notable exception are Ack Vectors (required currently only by CCID-2). These can have any length between 3 and 1020 bytes. As a result of testing, 16 bytes (2 bytes for type/length plus 14 Ack Vector cells) have been found to be sufficient for loss-free situations. There are currently no CCID-specific header options which may appear on data packets, thus it is not necessary to define a corresponding CCID field as suggested in the old comment. Further changes: ---------------- Adjusted the type of 'cur_mps' to match the unsigned return type of the function.

I guess these fields were one day 16-bit in the struct but nowadays they're just using 8 bits anyway. This is just a precaution, didn't result any change in my case but who knows what all those varying gcc versions & options do. I've been told that 16-bit is not so nice with some cpus.

It seems that implementation in yeah was inconsistent to what other did as it would increase cwnd one ack earlier than the others do. Size benefits: bictcp_cong_avoid | -36 tcp_cong_avoid_ai | +52 bictcp_cong_avoid | -34 tcp_scalable_cong_avoid | -36 tcp_veno_cong_avoid | -12 tcp_yeah_cong_avoid | -38 = -104 bytes total Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

Some comment about its current state added. So far I have seen very few cases where the thing is actually useful, usually just marginally (though admittedly I don't usually see top of window losses where it seems possible that there could be some gain), instead, more often the cases suffer from L-marking spike which is certainly not desirable (I'll bury improving it to my todo list, but on a low prio position).

Arnd Hannemann <hannemann@nets.rwth-aachen.de> noticed and was puzzled by the fact that !tcp_is_fack(tp) leads to early return near the beginning and the later on tcp_is_fack(tp) was still used in an if condition. The later check was a left-over from RFC3517 SACK stuff (== !tcp_is_fack(tp) behavior nowadays) as there wasn't clear way how to handle this particular check cheaply in the spirit of RFC3517 (using only SACK blocks, not holes + SACK blocks as with FACK). I sort of left it there as a reminder but since it's confusing other people just remove it and comment the missing-feature stuff instead.

If cur_mss grew very recently so that the previously G/TSOed skb now fits well into a single segment it would get send up in parts unless we calculate # of segments again. This corner-case could happen eg. after mtu probe completes or less than previously sack blocks are required for the opposite direction.

1) We didn't remove any skbs, so no need to handle stale refs. 2) scoreboard_skb_hint is trivial, no timestamps were changed so no need to clear that one 3) lost_skb_hint needs tweaking similar to that of tcp_sacktag_one().

If skb can be sent right away, we certainly should do that if it's in the middle of the queue because it won't get more data into it. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

It is possible that lost_cnt_hint gets underflow in tcp_clean_rtx_queue because the cumulative ACK can cover the segment where lost_skb_hint points to only partially, which means that the hint is not cleared, opposite to what my (earlier) comment claimed. Also I don't agree what I ended up writing about non-trivial case there to be what I intented to say. It was not supposed to happen that the hint won't get cleared and we underflow in any scenario. In general, this is quite hard to trigger in practice. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Backtracking to sacked skbs is a horrible performance killer since the hint cannot be advanced successfully past them... ...And it's totally unnecessary too. In theory this is 2.6.27..28 regression but I doubt anybody can make .28 to have worse performance because of other TCP improvements.

The Motorola MOTOMAGX phones (Z6, E8, Zn5 so far) are providing combined ACM/BLAN USB configuration.

Make usbnet_get_link() fall back to ethtool_op_get_link() instead of defaulting to 1. This makes usbnet_get_link return valid results without the need for a driver specific check_connect or mii ops as long as the driver calls netif_carrier_{on,off}() as appropriate. cdc_ether is an example of such a driver.

The Ericsson F3507g wireless broadband module provides a CDC Ethernet compliant interface, but identifies it as a "Mobile Direct Line" CDC subclass, thereby preventing the CDC Ethernet class driver from picking it up. This patch adds the device id to cdc_ether.c as a workaround. Ericsson has provided a "class" driver for this device: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-net/2008/10/28/3832094 But closer inspection of that driver reveals that it adds little more than duplication of code from cdc_ether.c.

This is 2nd attempt to implement the initialization/reading of MAC address from EEPROM. The first used PCI's VPD and there were some problems, some devices are not able to read EEPROM content by VPD. The 2nd one uses direct access to EEPROM through bit-banging interface and my testing results seem to be much better. I tested 5 systems each with different Realtek NICs and I didn't find any problem. AFAIK Francois's NICs also works fine. Original description: This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address. This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch adds the DCB (Data Center Bridging) support for 82599 hardware. This is similar to how the 82598 DCB code works. This patch also removes the BCN (Backwards Congestion Notification) netlink configuration code from the driver. BCN was a pre-standard congestion notification framework, and was not what the IEEE body decided upon for standard congestion management. QCN (802.1Qau), Quantized Congestion Notification is the accepted standard, which is not supported by 82599, hence we remove the support altogether.

There's conflicting assumptions in shifting, the caller assumes that dupsack results in S'ed skbs (or a part of it) for sure but never gave a hint to tcp_sacktag_one when dsack is actually in use. Thus DSACK retrans_out -= pcount was not taken and the counter became out of sync. Remove obstacle from that information flow to get DSACKs accounted in tcp_sacktag_one as expected.

The netpoll entry checks are required to ensure that we don't receive normal packets when invoked via netpoll. Unfortunately it only ever worked for the netif_receive_skb/netif_rx entry points. The VLAN (and subsequently GRO) entry point didn't have the check and therefore can trigger all sorts of weird problems. This patch adds the netpoll check to all entry points. I'm still uneasy with receiving at all under netpoll (which apparently is only used by the out-of-tree kdump code). The reason is it is perfectly legal to receive all data including headers into highmem if netpoll is off, but if you try to do that with netpoll on and someone gets a printk in an IRQ handler you're going to get a nice BUG_ON.
