      [TCP] FRTO: RFC4138 allows Nagle override when new data must be sent · d551e454
      Ilpo Järvinen authored
      This is a corner case where less than MSS sized new data thingie
      is awaiting in the send queue. For F-RTO to work correctly, a
      new data segment must be sent at certain point or F-RTO cannot
      be used at all. RFC4138 allows overriding of Nagle at that
      point.
      
      Implementation uses frto_counter states 2 and 3 to distinguish
      when Nagle override is needed.

      [XFRM]: Restrict upper layer information by bundle. · 157bfc25
      Masahide NAKAMURA authored
      On MIPv6 usage, XFRM sub policy is enabled.
      When main (IPsec) and sub (MIPv6) policy selectors have the same
      address set but different upper layer information (i.e. protocol
      number and its ports or type/code), multiple bundle should be created.
      However, currently we have issue to use the same bundle created for
      the first time with all flows covered by the case.
      
      It is useful for the bundle to have the upper layer information
      to be restructured correctly if it does not match with the flow.
      
      1. Bundle was created by two policies
      Selector from another policy is added to xfrm_dst.
      If the flow does not match the selector, it goes to slow path to
      restructure new bundle by single policy.
      
      2. Bundle was created by one policy
      Flow cache is added to xfrm_dst as originated one. If the flow does
      not match the cache, it goes to slow path to try searching another
      policy.

      [TCP]: Catch skb with S+L bugs earlier · 34588b4c
      Ilpo Järvinen authored
      SACKED_ACKED and LOST are mutually exclusive with SACK, thus
      having their sum larger than packets_out is bug with SACK.
      Eventually these bugs trigger traps in the tcp_clean_rtx_queue
      with SACK but it's much more informative to do this here.
      
      Non-SACK TCP, however, could get more than packets_out duplicate
      ACKs which each increment sacked_out, so it makes sense to do
      this kind of limitting for non-SACK TCP but not for SACK enabled
      one. Perhaps the author had the opposite in mind but did the
      logic accidently wrong way around? Anyway, the sacked_out
      incrementer code for non-SACK already deals this issue before
      calling sync_left_out so this trapping can be done
      unconditionally.

      [PATCH] INET : IPV4 UDP lookups converted to a 2 pass algo · 6aaf47fa
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Some people want to have many UDP sockets, binded to a single port but
      many different addresses. We currently hash all those sockets into a
      single chain.  Processing of incoming packets is very expensive,
      because the whole chain must be examined to find the best match.
      
      I chose in this patch to hash UDP sockets with a hash function that
      take into account both their port number and address : This has a
      drawback because we need two lookups : one with a given address, one
      with a wildcard (null) address.

      [BLOCK] Don't pin lots of memory in mempools · 5972511b
      Jens Axboe authored
      Currently we scale the mempool sizes depending on memory installed
      in the machine, except for the bio pool itself which sits at a fixed
      256 entry pre-allocation.
      
      There's really no point in "optimizing" this OOM path, we just need
      enough preallocated to make progress. A single unit is enough, lets
      scale it down to 2 just to be on the safe side.
      
      This patch saves ~150kb of pinned kernel memory on a 32-bit box.

      cfq-iosched: get rid of cfqq hash · 91fac317
      Vasily Tarasov authored
      cfq hash is no more necessary.  We always can get cfqq from io context.
      cfq_get_io_context_noalloc() function is introduced, because we don't
      want to allocate cic on merging and checking may_queue.  In order to
      identify sync queue we've used hash key = CFQ_KEY_ASYNC. Since hash is
      eliminated we need to use other criterion: sync flag for queue is added.
      In all places where we dig in rb_tree we're in current context, so no
      additional locking is required.
      
      Advantages of this patch: no additional memory for hash, no seeking in
      hash, code is cleaner. But it is necessary now to seek cic in per-ioc
      rbtree, but it is faster:
      - most processes work only with few devices
      - most systems have only few block devices
      - it is a rb-tree

      - Fix various bugs with dereferencing cic->cfqq[] with offset other
        than 0 or 1.
      - Fix bug in cfqq setup, is_sync condition was reversed.
      - Fix bug where only bio_sync() is used, we need to check for a READ too

      cfq-iosched: sort RT queues into the rbtree · 0c534e0a
      Jens Axboe authored
      Currently CFQ does a linked insert into the current list for RT
      queues. We can just factor the class into the rb insertion,
      and then we don't have to treat RT queues in a special way. It's
      faster, too.

      [PATCH] cfq-iosched: speed up rbtree handling · cc09e299
      Jens Axboe authored
      For cases where the rbtree is mainly used for sorting and min retrieval,
      a nice speedup of the rbtree code is to maintain a cache of the leftmost
      node in the tree.
      
      Also spotted in the CFS CPU scheduler code.
      
      Improved by Alan D. Brunelle <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> by updating the
      leftmost hint in cfq_rb_first() if it isn't set, instead of only
      updating it on insert.

      cfq-iosched: rework the whole round-robin list concept · d9e7620e
      Jens Axboe authored
      Drawing on some inspiration from the CFS CPU scheduler design, overhaul
      the pending cfq_queue concept list management. Currently CFQ uses a
      doubly linked list per priority level for sorting and service uses.
      Kill those lists and maintain an rbtree of cfq_queue's, sorted by when
      to service them.
      
      This unfortunately means that the ionice levels aren't as strong
      anymore, will work on improving those later. We only scale the slice
      time now, not the number of times we service. This means that latency
      is better (for all priority levels), but that the distinction between
      the highest and lower levels aren't as big.
      
      The diffstat speaks for itself.

      cfq-iosched: minor updates · 1afba045
      Jens Axboe authored
      - Move the queue_new flag clear to when the queue is selected
      - Only select the non-first queue in cfq_get_best_queue(), if there's
        a substantial difference between the best and first.
      - Get rid of ->busy_rr
      - Only select a close cooperator, if the current queue is known to take
        a while to "think".

      cfq-iosched: development update · 6d048f53
      Jens Axboe authored
      - Implement logic for detecting cooperating processes, so we
        choose the best available queue whenever possible.
      
      - Improve residual slice time accounting.
      
      - Remove dead code: we no longer see async requests coming in on
        sync queues. That part was removed a long time ago. That means
        that we can also remove the difference between cfq_cfqq_sync()
        and cfq_cfqq_class_sync(), they are now indentical. And we can
        kill the on_dispatch array, just make it a counter.
      
      - Allow a process to go into the current list, if it hasn't been
        serviced in this scheduler tick yet.
      
      Possible future improvements including caching the cfqq lookup
      in cfq_close_cooperator(), so we don't have to look it up twice.
      cfq_get_best_queue() should just use that last decision instead
      of doing it again.

      cfq-iosched: improve preemption for cooperating tasks · 1e3335de
      Jens Axboe authored
      When testing the syslet async io approach, I discovered that CFQ
      sometimes didn't perform as well as expected. cfq_should_preempt()
      needs to better check for cooperating tasks, so fix that by allowing
      preemption of an equal priority queue if the recently queued request
      is as good a candidate for IO as the one we are currently waiting for.
