Lets use a proper structure to clearly document and implement skb fast clones. Then, we might experiment more easily alternative layouts. This patch adds a new skb_fclone_busy() helper, used by tcp and xfrm, to stop leaking of implementation details. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently we have two different policies for orphan sockets that repeatedly stall on zero window ACKs. If a socket gets a zero window ACK when it is transmitting data, the RTO is used to probe the window. The socket is aborted after roughly tcp_orphan_retries() retries (as in tcp_write_timeout()). But if the socket was idle when it received the zero window ACK, and later wants to send more data, we use the probe timer to probe the window. If the receiver always returns zero window ACKs, icsk_probes keeps getting reset in tcp_ack() and the orphan socket can stall forever until the system reaches the orphan limit (as commented in tcp_probe_timer()). This opens up a simple attack to create lots of hanging orphan sockets to burn the memory and the CPU, as demonstrated in the recent netdev post "TCP connection will hang in FIN_WAIT1 after closing if zero window is advertised." http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg296539.html This patch follows the design in RTO-based probe: we abort an orphan socket stalling on zero window when the probe timer reaches both the maximum backoff and the maximum RTO. For example, an 100ms RTT connection will timeout after roughly 153 seconds (0.3 + 0.6 + .... + 76.8) if the receiver keeps the window shut. If the orphan socket passes this check, but the system already has too many orphans (as in tcp_out_of_resources()), we still abort it but we'll also send an RST packet as the connection may still be active. In addition, we change TCP_USER_TIMEOUT to cover (life or dead) sockets stalled on zero-window probes. This changes the semantics of TCP_USER_TIMEOUT slightly because it previously only applies when the socket has pending transmission.

Change function name from "rtl_w1w0_phy" to "rtl_w0w1_phy". And its behavior from "write ones then write zeros" to "write zeros then write ones". In Realtek internal driver, bitwise operations are almost "write zeros then write ones".

Proper CHECKSUM_COMPLETE support needs to adjust skb->csum when we remove one header. Its done using skb_gro_postpull_rcsum() In the case of IPv4, we know that the adjustment is not really needed, because the checksum over IPv4 header is 0.

David L Stevens says: ==================== sunvnet: add jumbo frames support This patch set updates the sunvnet driver to version 1.6 of the VIO protocol to support per-port exchange of MTU information and allow non-standard MTU sizes, including jumbo frames. Using large MTUs shows a nearly 5X throughput improvement Linux-Solaris and > 10X throughput improvement Linux-Linux.

This patch sends ICMP and ICMPv6 messages for Path MTU Discovery when a remote port MTU is smaller than the device MTU. This allows mixing newer VIO protocol devices that support MTU negotiation with older devices that do not on the same vswitch. It also allows Linux-Linux LDOMs to use 64K-1 data packets even though Solaris vswitch is limited to <16K MTU. Signed-off-by: David L Stevens <david.stevens@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch removes pre-allocated transmit buffers and instead directly maps pending packets on demand. This saves O(n^2) maximum-sized transmit buffers, for n hosts on a vswitch, as well as a copy to those buffers. Single-stream TCP throughput linux-solaris dropped ~5% for 1500-byte MTU, but linux-linux at 1500-bytes increased ~20%.

Antoine Tenart says: ==================== ARM: Berlin: Ethernet support This series introduce support for the Ethernet controller on Berlin SoCs, using the existing pxa168 Ethernet driver. In order to do this, DT support is added to the driver alongside some other modifications and fixes. This has been tested on a Berlin BG2Q DMP board. Changes since v5: - fixed the build when building the driver as a module Changes since v4: - removed the phy-addr property and added a phy subnode - added COMPILE_TEST for the pxa168_eth driver Changes since v3: - moved the addition of pxa168_eth_get_mac_address() to the patch using it first Changes since v2: - reworked how the MAC address is configured - made the clock anonymous Changes since v1: - removed custom Berlin Ethernet driver - used the pxa168 Ethernet driver instead - made modifications to the pxa168 driver (DT support, fixes) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch rework the way the MAC address is retrieved. The MAC address can now, in addition to being random, be set in the device tree or retrieved from the Ethernet controller MAC address registers. The probing function will try to get a MAC address in the following order: - From the device tree. - From the Ethernet controller MAC address registers. - Generate a random one. This patch also adds a function to read the MAC address from the Ethernet Controller registers.
