      sched: fix gcc warnings · 90b2628f
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Meelis Roos reported these warnings on sparc64:

  CC      kernel/sched.o
  In file included from kernel/sched.c:879:
  kernel/sched_debug.c: In function 'nsec_high':
  kernel/sched_debug.c:38: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

the debug check in do_div() is over-eager here, because the long long
is always positive in these places. Mark this by casting them to
unsigned long long.

      [BLUETOOTH]: put_device before device_del fix · 38b7da09
      Dave Young authored 
      Because of workqueue delay, the put_device could be called before
device_del, so move it to del_conn.

      [TCP]: use non-delayed ACK for congestion control RTT · 2072c228
      Gavin McCullagh authored 
      When a delayed ACK representing two packets arrives, there are two RTT
samples available, one for each packet.  The first (in order of seq
number) will be artificially long due to the delay waiting for the
second packet, the second will trigger the ACK and so will not itself
be delayed.

According to rfc1323, the SRTT used for RTO calculation should use the
first rtt, so receivers echo the timestamp from the first packet in
the delayed ack.  For congestion control however, it seems measuring
delayed ack delay is not desirable as it varies independently of
congestion.

The patch below causes seq_rtt and last_ackt to be updated with any
available later packet rtts which should have less (and hopefully
zero) delack delay.  The rtt value then gets passed to
ca_ops->pkts_acked().

Where TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP was set, effort was made to supress RTTs from
within a TSO chunk (!fully_acked), using only the final ACK (which
includes any TSO delay) to generate RTTs.  This patch removes these
checks so RTTs are passed for each ACK to ca_ops->pkts_acked().

For non-delay based congestion control (cubic, h-tcp), rtt is
sometimes used for rtt-scaling.  In shortening the RTT, this may make
them a little less aggressive.  Delay-based schemes (eg vegas, veno,
illinois) should get a cleaner, more accurate congestion signal,
particularly for small cwnds.  The congestion control module can
potentially also filter out bad RTTs due to the delayed ack alarm by
looking at the associated cnt which (where delayed acking is in use)
should probably be 1 if the alarm went off or greater if the ACK was
triggered by a packet.
