      tcp: Fix tcp_hybla zero congestion window growth with small rho and large cwnd. · 9d2c27e1
      Daniele Lacamera authored 
      Because of rounding, in certain conditions, i.e. when in congestion
avoidance state rho is smaller than 1/128 of the current cwnd, TCP
Hybla congestion control starves and the cwnd is kept constant
forever.

This patch forces an increment by one segment after #send_cwnd calls
without increments(newreno behavior).

      net: Fix netdev_run_todo dead-lock · 58ec3b4d
      Herbert Xu authored 
      Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances
of the error

unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d

It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if
a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free
a reference to the device waited on by the first instance.

The problem is really quite silly.  We were trying to create
parallelism where none was required.  As netdev_run_todo always
follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added
with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait
for the very ones that you've added and be done with it.

There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock.

This is exactly what the following patch does.

      tcp: Fix possible double-ack w/ user dma · 53240c20
      Ali Saidi authored 
      From: Ali Saidi <saidi@engin.umich.edu>

When TCP receive copy offload is enabled it's possible that
tcp_rcv_established() will cause two acks to be sent for a single
packet. In the case that a tcp_dma_early_copy() is successful,
copied_early is set to true which causes tcp_cleanup_rbuf() to be
called early which can send an ack. Further along in
tcp_rcv_established(), __tcp_ack_snd_check() is called and will
schedule a delayed ACK. If no packets are processed before the delayed
ack timer expires the packet will be acked twice.

      net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP · b6c40d68
      Patrick McHardy authored 
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN
device down that is in promiscous mode:

When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real
device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the
promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous
count on the real device is decremented a second time by the
vlan_change_rx_flags() callback.

The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is
invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror
the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function
is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is
responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags()
is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP.

Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the
intended behaviour.

      SLOB: fix bogus ksize calculation · 85ba94ba
      Matt Mackall authored 
      SLOB's ksize calculation was braindamaged and generally harmlessly
underreported the allocation size. But for very small buffers, it could
in fact overreport them, leading code depending on krealloc to overrun
the allocation and trample other data.
