2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Sanity-check RTT samplesGerrit Renker
CCID3 performance depends much on the accuracy of RTT samples. If RTT samples grow too large, performance can be catastrophically poor. To limit the amount of possible damage in such cases, the patch * introduces an upper limit which identifies a maximum `sane' RTT value; * uses a macro to enforce this upper limit. Using a macro was given preference, since it is necessary to identify the calling function in the warning message. Since exceeding this threshold identifies a critical condition, DCCP_CRIT is used and not DCCP_WARN. Many thanks to Ian McDonald for collaboration on this issue.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Initialise RTT valuesGerrit Renker
In both the sender and the receiver it is possible that the stored RTT value is accessed before an actual RTT estimate has been computed. This patch * initialises the sender RTT to 0 - the sender always accesses the RTT in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent - the RTT is further needed for the window counter algorithm * replaces the receiver initialisation of 5msec with 0 - which has the same effect and removes an `XXX' - the RTT value is needed in ccid3_hc_rx_packet_recv as rtt_prev Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Acked-by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>
2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid: Deprecate ccid_hc_tx_insert_optionsGerrit Renker
The function ccid3_hc_tx_insert_options only does a redundant no-op, as the operation DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_ccval = hctx->ccid3hctx_last_win_count; is already performed _unconditionally_ in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet. Since there is further no current need for this function, it is removed entirely. Since furthermore, there is actually no present need for the entire interface function ccid_hc_tx_insert_options, it was decided to remove it also, to clean up the interface.

2006-12-11[DCCP]: Warn when discarding packet due to internal errorsGerrit Renker
This adds a (debug) warning message which is triggered whenever a packet is discarded due to send failure. It also adds a conditional, so that an interruption during dccp_wait_for_ccid is not treated as a `BUG': the rationale is that interruptions are external, whereas bug warnings are concerned with the internals.

2006-12-11[DCCP]: Only deliver to the CCID rx side in chargeGerrit Renker
This is an optimisation to reduce CPU load. The received feedback is now only directed to the active CCID component, without requiring processing also by the inactive one. As a consequence, a similar test in ccid3.c is now redundant and is also removed. Justification: Currently DCCP works as a unidirectional service, i.e. a listening server is not at the same time a connecting client. As far as I can see, several modifications are necessary until that becomes possible. At the present time, received feedback is both fed to the rx/tx CCID modules. In unidirectional service, only one of these is active at any one time.

2006-12-11[DCCP]: Simplify TFRC calculationGerrit Renker
In migrating towards using the newer functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 for TFRC computations mapped from floating-point onto integer arithmetic, this completes the last stage of modifications. In particular, the overflow case for computing X_calc is circumvented by * breaking the computation into two stages * the first stage, res = (s*1E6)/R, cannot overflow due to use of u64 * in the second stage, res = (res*1E6)/f, overflow on u32 is avoided due to (i) returning UINT_MAX in this case (which is logically appropriate) and (ii) issuing a warning message into the system log (since very likely there is a problem somewhere else with the parameters) Lastly, all such scaling operations are now exported into tfrc.h, since actually this form of scaled computation is specific to TFRC and not to CCID3.

2006-12-11[DCCP]: Debug timeval operationsGerrit Renker
Problem: Most target types in the CCID3 code are u32, so subtle conversion errors can occur if signed time calculations yield negative results: the original values are lost in the conversion to unsigned, calculation errors go undetected. This patch therefore * sets all critical time types from unsigned to suseconds_t * avoids comparison between signed/unsigned via type-casting * provides ample warning messages in case time calculations are negative These warning messages can be removed at a later stage when the code has undergone more testing.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Simplify calculation for reverse lookup of pGerrit Renker
This simplifies the calculation of a value p for a given fval when the first loss interval is computed (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). It makes use of the two new functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 to provide overflow protection. Additionally, protection against divide-by-zero is extended - in this case the function will return the maximally possible value of p=100%. Background: The maximum fval, f(100%), is approximately 244, i.e. the scaled value of fval should never exceed 244E6, which fits easily into u32. The problem is the scaling by 10^6, since additionally R(TT) is in microseconds. This is resolved by breaking the division into two stages: the first stage computes fval=(s*10^6)/R, stores that into u64; the second stage computes fval = (fval*10^6)/X_recv and complains if overflow is reached for u32. This case is safe since the TFRC reverse-lookup routine then returns p=100%.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Finer-grained resolution of sending ratesGerrit Renker
This patch * resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0 * supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second * simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to * cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second) * allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3 * avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off The patch implements a revised strategy from http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Fix two bugs in sending rate computationGerrit Renker
This fixes 1) a bug in the recomputation of the sending rate by the nofeedback timer when no feedback at all has so far been sent by the receiver: min_t was used instead of max_t, which is wrong (cf. RFC 3448, p. 10); 2) an error in the computation of larger initial windows: instead of min(... max()) (cf. RFC 4342, 5.), the code had used max(... max()).

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Two optimisations for sending rate recomputationGerrit Renker
This performs two optimisations for the recomputation of the sending rate. 1) Currently the target sending rate X_calc is recalculated whenever a) the nofeedback timer expires, or b) a feedback packet is received. In the (a) case, recomputing X_calc is redundant, since * the parameters p and RTT do not change in between the reception of feedback packets; * the parameter X_recv is either modified from received feedback or via the nofeedback timer; * a test (`p == 0') in the nofeedback timer avoids using a stale/undefined value of X_calc if p was previously 0. 2) The nofeedback timer now only recomputes a timestamp when p == 0. This is according to step (4) of [RFC 3448, 4.3] and avoids unnecessarily determining a timestamp. A debug statement about not updating X is also removed - it helps very little in debugging and just clutters the logs.

2006-12-08[NETPOLL]: make arp replies through netpoll use mac address of senderNeil Horman
Back in 2.4 arp requests that were recevied by netpoll were processed in netconsole_receive_skb, where they were responded to using the src mac of the request sender. In the 2.6 kernel arp_reply is responsible for this function, but instead of using the src mac address of the incomming request, the stored mac address that was registered for the netconsole application is used. While this is usually ok, it can lead to failures in netpoll in some situations (specifically situations where a network may have two gateways, as arp requests from one may be responded to using the mac address of the other). This patch reverts the behavior to what we had in 2.4, in which all arp requests are sent back using the src address of the request sender.

This is the core of the switch to the new framework. I've split it from the driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to give this one a good hard stare. The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support. The code patches here ensure that providing 1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory 2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none) the existing behaviour is retained. This is true for the patches at this point in time. Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also vanish.

2006-12-07[PATCH] net: don't insert socket dentries into dentry_hashtableEric Dumazet
We currently insert socket dentries into the global dentry hashtable. This is suboptimal because there is currently no way these entries can be used for a lookup(). (/proc/xxx/fd/xxx uses a different mechanism). Inserting them in dentry hashtable slows dcache lookups. To let __dpath() still work correctly (ie not adding a " (deleted)") after dentry name, we do : - Right after d_alloc(), pretend they are hashed by clearing the DCACHE_UNHASHED bit. - Call d_instantiate() instead of d_add() : dentry is not inserted in hash table. __dpath() & friends work as intended during dentry lifetime. - At dismantle time, once dput() must clear the dentry, setting again DCACHE_UNHASHED bit inside the custom d_delete() function provided by socket code, so that dput() can just kill_it.

A few callers are updated to remove now-unneeded tests for NULL. A few other callers already seem to assume that passing a NULL pointer to percpu_free() is okay! The patch also removes an unnecessary NULL check in percpu_depopulate().

2006-12-07[PATCH] node-aware skb allocationChristoph Hellwig
Node-aware allocation of skbs for the receive path. Details: - __alloc_skb gets a new node argument and cals the node-aware slab functions with it. - netdev_alloc_skb passed the node number it gets from dev_to_node to it, everyone else passes -1 (any node) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Christoph Lameter <clameter@engr.sgi.com> Cc: "David S.

2006-12-07[TCP] inet_twdr_hangman: Delete unnecessary memory barrier().David S. Miller
As per Ralf Baechle's observations, the schedule_work() call should give enough of a memory barrier, so the explicit one here is totally unnecessary. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-12-07[NET]: Memory barrier cleanupsRalf Baechle
I believe all the below memory barriers only matter on SMP so therefore the smp_* variant of the barrier should be used. I'm wondering if the barrier in net/ipv4/inet_timewait_sock.c should be dropped entirely. schedule_work's implementation currently implies a memory barrier and I think sane semantics of schedule_work() should imply a memory barrier, as needed so the caller shouldn't have to worry. It's not quite obvious why the barrier in net/packet/af_packet.c is needed; maybe it should be implied through flush_dcache_page?
