Finds a pattern in the skb data according to the specified textsearch configuration. Use textsearch_next() to retrieve subsequent occurrences of the pattern. Returns the offset to the first occurrence or UINT_MAX if no match was found. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Implements sequential reading for both linear and non-linear skb data at zerocopy cost. The data is returned in chunks of arbitary length, therefore random access is not possible. Usage: from := 0 to := 128 state := undef data := undef len := undef consumed := 0 skb_prepare_seq_read(skb, from, to, &state) while (len = skb_seq_read(consumed, &data, &state)) != 0 do /* do something with 'data' of length 'len' */ if abort then /* abort read if we don't wait for * skb_seq_read() to return 0 */ skb_abort_seq_read(&state) return endif /* not necessary to consume all of 'len' */ consumed += len done Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

A finite state machine consists of n states (struct ts_fsm_token) representing the pattern as a finite automation. The data is read sequentially on a octet basis. Every state token specifies the number of recurrences and the type of value accepted which can be either a specific character or ctype based set of characters. The available type of recurrences include 1, (0|1), [0 n], and [1 n]. The algorithm differs between strict/non-strict mode specyfing whether the pattern has to start at the first octect. Strict mode is enabled by default and can be disabled by inserting TS_FSM_HEAD_IGNORE as the first token in the chain. The runtime performance of the algorithm should be around O(n), however while in strict mode the average runtime can be better. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

Implements a linear-time string-matching algorithm due to Knuth, Morris, and Pratt [1]. Their algorithm avoids the explicit computation of the transition function DELTA altogether. Its matching time is O(n), for n being length(text), using just an auxiliary function PI[1..m], for m being length(pattern), precomputed from the pattern in time O(m). The array PI allows the transition function DELTA to be computed efficiently "on the fly" as needed. Roughly speaking, for any state "q" = 0,1,...,m and any character "a" in SIGMA, the value PI["q"] contains the information that is independent of "a" and is needed to compute DELTA("q", "a") [2]. Since the array PI has only m entries, whereas DELTA has O(m|SIGMA|) entries, we save a factor of |SIGMA| in the preprocessing time by computing PI rather than DELTA.

Separate out the two uses of netdev_max_backlog. One controls the upper bound on packets processed per softirq, the new name for this is netdev_budget; the other controls the limit on packets queued via netif_rx. Increase the max_backlog default to account for faster processors. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Eliminate the throttling behaviour when the netif receive queue fills because it behaves badly when using high speed networks under load. The throttling cause multiple packet drops that cause TCP to go into slow start mode. The same effective patch has been part of BIC TCP and H-TCP as well as part of Web100. The existing code drops 100's of packets when the queue fills; this changes it to individual packet drop-tail. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemmminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Remove the congestion sensing mechanism from netif_rx, and always return either full or empty. Almost no driver checks the return value from netif_rx, and those that do only use it for debug messages. The original design of netif_rx was to do flow control based on the receive queue, but NAPI has supplanted this and no driver uses the feedback.

This patch implements Tom Kelly's Scalable TCP congestion control algorithm for the modular framework. The algorithm has some nice scaling properties, and has been used a fair bit in research, though is known to have significant fairness issues, so it's not really suitable for general purpose use.

H-TCP is a congestion control algorithm developed at the Hamilton Institute, by Douglas Leith and Robert Shorten. It is extending the standard Reno algorithm with mode switching is thus a relatively simple modification. H-TCP is defined in a layered manner as it is still a research platform. The basic form includes the modification of beta according to the ratio of maxRTT to min RTT and the alpha=2*factor*(1-beta) relation, where factor is dependant on the time since last congestion. The other layers improve convergence by adding appropriate factors to alpha. The following patch implements the H-TCP algorithm in it's basic form.

TCP Hybla congestion avoidance. - "In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a terrestrial or satellite radio link are greatly disadvantaged with respect to entirely wired connections, because of their longer round trip times (RTTs). To cope with this problem, a new TCP proposal, the TCP Hybla, is presented and discussed in the paper[1]. It stems from an analytical evaluation of the congestion window dynamics in the TCP standard versions (Tahoe, Reno, NewReno), which suggests the necessary modifications to remove the performance dependence on RTT.[...]"[1] [1]: Carlo Caini, Rosario Firrincieli, "TCP Hybla: a TCP enhancement for heterogeneous networks", International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking Volume 22, Issue 5 , Pages 547 - 566.
