If RTT is not available because Karn's check has failed or no new packet is acked, use the RTT measured from SACK to estimate the RTO. The sender can continue to estimate the RTO during loss recovery or reordering event upon receiving non-partial ACKs. This also changes when the RTO is re-armed. Previously it is only re-armed when some data is cummulatively acknowledged (i.e., SND.UNA advances), but now it is re-armed whenever RTT estimator is updated. This feature is particularly useful to reduce spurious timeout for buffer bloat including cellular carriers [1], and RTT estimation on reordering events.

Take RTT sample if an ACK selectively acks some sequences that have never been retransmitted. The Karn's algorithm does not apply even if that ACK (s)acks other retransmitted sequences, because it must been generated by an original but perhaps out-of-order packet. There is no ambiguity. In case when multiple blocks are newly sacked because of ACK losses the earliest block is used to measure RTT, similar to cummulative ACKs. Such RTT samples allow the sender to estimate the RTO during loss recovery and packet reordering events. It is still useful even with TCP timestamps. That's because during these events the SND.UNA may not advance preventing RTT samples from TS ECR (thus the FLAG_ACKED check before calling tcp_ack_update_rtt()). Therefore this new RTT source is complementary to existing ACK and TS RTT mechanisms. This patch does not update the RTO. It is done in the next patch. Signed-off-by:

Prefer packet timings to TS-ecr for RTT measurements when both sources are available. That's because broken middle-boxes and remote peer can return packets with corrupted TS ECR fields. Similarly most congestion controls that require RTT signals favor timing-based sources as well. Also check for bad TS ECR values to avoid RTT blow-ups. It has happened on production Web servers.

The first patch consolidates SYNACK and other RTT measurement to use a central function tcp_ack_update_rtt(). A (small) bonus is now SYNACK RTT measurement happens after PAWS check, potentially reducing the impact of RTO seeding on bad TCP timestamps values. Signed-off-by:

Fabio Estevam says: ==================== This series improves clock handling in the driver by not enabling/disabling the optional ptp and enet_out clocks unconditionally, check for the return value of clk_prepare_enable and also handle clk_ptp in suspend/resume. Remove an unneeded check in platform_get_resource() and also use devm_request_irq() that can help to simplify the code. ==================== Signed-off-by:

As devm_ioremap_resource() is used, there is no need to explicitely check the return value from platform_get_resource(), as this is something that devm_ioremap_resource() takes care by itself. Also, place platform_get_resource() prior to devm_ioremap_resource() for better code readability. Signed-off-by:

From Eric Dumazet. 7) Add missing locking on vxlan device removal, from Stephen Hemminger. 8) xen-netfront has to make two passes over an SKB to prepare it for transfer. One pass calculates the number of slots needed, the second massages the SKB and fills the slots. Unfortunately, the first pass doesn't calculate the number of slots properly so we can end up trying to build a MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 SKB which doesn't work out so well. Fix from Jan Beulich with help and discussion with several others. 9) Fix a similar problem in tun and macvtap, which have to split up scatter-gather elements at PAGE_SIZE boundaries. Don't do zerocopy if it would result in a > MAX_SKB_FRAGS skb. Fixes from Jason Wang. 10) On receive, once we've decoded the VLAN state completely, clear skb->vlan_tci.

In commit 48cc32d3 ("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols") Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this particular id. But we also have a problem if prio bits are set. Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device, because skb->vlan_tci is set. Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000) being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address : 16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 > 9f94:4d95:2001:67c:29f4::: ICMP6, unknown icmp6 type (0), length 64 0x0000: 0000 0029 8000 c7c3 7103 0001 a0ae e651 0x0010: 0000 0000 ccce 0b00 0000 0000 1011 1213 0x0020: 1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223 0x0030: 2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 2e2f 3031 3233 It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now. We can probably do better in future kernels : vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of a per vlan_dev one. For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

We try to linearize part of the skb when the number of iov is greater than MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is not enough since each single vector may occupy more than one pages, so zerocopy_sg_fromiovec() may still fail and may break the guest network. Solve this problem by calculate the pages needed for iov before trying to do zerocopy and switch to use copy instead of zerocopy if it needs more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is done through introducing a new helper to count the pages for iov, and call uarg->callback() manually when switching from zerocopy to copy to notify vhost. We can do further optimization on top. This bug were introduced from b92946e2 (macvtap: zerocopy: validate vectors before building skb). Cc: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

QFQ+ inherits from QFQ a design choice that may cause a high packet delay/jitter and a severe short-term unfairness. As QFQ, QFQ+ uses a special quantity, the system virtual time, to track the service provided by the ideal system it approximates. When a packet is dequeued, this quantity must be incremented by the size of the packet, divided by the sum of the weights of the aggregates waiting to be served. Tracking this sum correctly is a non-trivial task, because, to preserve tight service guarantees, the decrement of this sum must be delayed in a special way [1]: this sum can be decremented only after that its value would decrease also in the ideal system approximated by QFQ+. For efficiency, QFQ+ keeps track only of the 'instantaneous' weight sum, increased and decreased immediately as the weight of an aggregate changes, and as an aggregate is created or destroyed (which, in its turn, happens as a consequence of some class being created/destroyed/changed). However, to avoid the problems caused to service guarantees by these immediate decreases, QFQ+ increments the system virtual time using the maximum value allowed for the weight sum, 2^10, in place of the dynamic, instantaneous value. The instantaneous value of the weight sum is used only to check whether a request of weight increase or a class creation can be satisfied. Unfortunately, the problems caused by this choice are worse than the temporary degradation of the service guarantees that may occur, when a class is changed or destroyed, if the instantaneous value of the weight sum was used to update the system virtual time. In fact, the fraction of the link bandwidth guaranteed by QFQ+ to each aggregate is equal to the ratio between the weight of the aggregate and the sum of the weights of the competing aggregates. The packet delay guaranteed to the aggregate is instead inversely proportional to the guaranteed bandwidth. By using the maximum possible value, and not the actual value of the weight sum, QFQ+ provides each aggregate with the worst possible service guarantees, and not with service guarantees related to the actual set of competing aggregates. To see the consequences of this fact, consider the following simple example. Suppose that only the following aggregates are backlogged, i.e., that only the classes in the following aggregates have packets to transmit: one aggregate with weight 10, say A, and ten aggregates with weight 1, say B1, B2, ..., B10. In particular, suppose that these aggregates are always backlogged. Given the weight distribution, the smoothest and fairest service order would be: A B1 A B2 A B3 A B4 A B5 A B6 A B7 A B8 A B9 A B10 A B1 A B2 ... QFQ+ would provide exactly this optimal service if it used the actual value for the weight sum instead of the maximum possible value, i.e., 11 instead of 2^10. In contrast, since QFQ+ uses the latter value, it serves aggregates as follows (easy to prove and to reproduce experimentally): A B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10 A A A A A A A A A A B1 B2 ... B10 A A ... By replacing 10 with N in the above example, and by increasing N, one can increase at will the maximum packet delay and the jitter experienced by the classes in aggregate A. This patch addresses this issue by just using the above 'instantaneous' value of the weight sum, instead of the maximum possible value, when updating the system virtual time. After the instantaneous weight sum is decreased, QFQ+ may deviate from the ideal service for a time interval in the order of the time to serve one maximum-size packet for each backlogged class. The worst-case extent of the deviation exhibited by QFQ+ during this time interval [1] is basically the same as of the deviation described above (but, without this patch, QFQ+ suffers from such a deviation all the time). Finally, this patch modifies the comment to the function qfq_slot_insert, to make it coherent with the fact that the weight sum used by QFQ+ can now be lower than the maximum possible value. [1] P.

Merge tag 'driver-core-3.11-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core Pull driver core patches from Greg KH: "Here are some driver core patches for 3.11-rc2.

Also here is the ability to create binary files as attribute groups, to solve that race condition, which was impossible to do before this, so that's my fault the drivers were broken. The majority of the .c changes is indenting and moving code around a bit.

Recent change to use bio_copy_data() in raid1 when repairing an array is faulty. The underlying may have changed the bio in various ways using bio_advance and these need to be undone not just for the 'sbio' which is being copied to, but also the 'pbio' (primary) which is being copied from. So perform the reset on all bios that were read from and do it early. This also ensure that the sbio->bi_io_vec[j].bv_len passed to memcmp is correct. This fixes a crash during a 'check' of a RAID1 array. The crash was introduced in 3.10 so this is suitable for 3.10-stable. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (3.10) Reported-by:

commit 7ceb17e8 md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array. allowed a bit more than just that. It also allows devices to be added to a read-write array and to end up skipping recovery. This patch removes the offending piece of code pending a rewrite for a subsequent release. More specifically: If the array has a bitmap, then the device will still need a bitmap based resync ('saved_raid_disk' is set under different conditions is a bitmap is present). If the array doesn't have a bitmap, then this is correct as long as nothing has been written to the array since the metadata was checked by ->validate_super. However there is no locking to ensure that there was no write. Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption so patch is suitable for 3.10-stable.

1/ When an different between blocks is found, data is copied from one bio to the other. However bv_len is used as the length to copy and this could be zero. So use r10_bio->sectors to calculate length instead. Using bv_len was probably always a bit dubious, but the introduction of bio_advance made it much more likely to be a problem. 2/ When preparing some blocks for sync, we don't set BIO_UPTODATE except on bios that we schedule for a read. This ensures that missing/failed devices don't confuse the loop at the top of sync_request write. Commit 8be185f2 "raid10: Use bio_reset()" removed a loop which set BIO_UPTDATE on all appropriate bios. So we need to re-add that flag. These bugs were introduced in 3.10, so this patch is suitable for 3.10-stable, and can remove a potential for data corruption. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (3.10) Reported-by:

Due to commit 3683243b ("xen-netfront: use __pskb_pull_tail to ensure linear area is big enough on RX") xennet_fill_frags() may end up filling MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 fragments in a receive skb, and only reduce the fragment count subsequently via __pskb_pull_tail(). That's a result of xennet_get_responses() allowing a maximum of one more slot to be consumed (and intermediately transformed into a fragment) if the head slot has a size less than or equal to RX_COPY_THRESHOLD. Hence we need to adjust xennet_fill_frags() to pull earlier if we reached the maximum fragment count - due to the described behavior of xennet_get_responses() this guarantees that at least the first fragment will get completely consumed, and hence the fragment count reduced. In order to not needlessly call __pskb_pull_tail() twice, make the original call conditional upon the pull target not having been reached yet, and defer the newly added one as much as possible (an alternative would have been to always call the function right before the call to xennet_fill_frags(), but that would imply more frequent cases of needing to call it twice).

The socket management is now done in workqueue (outside of RTNL) and protected by vn->sock_lock. There were two possible bugs, first the vxlan device was removed from the VNI hash table per socket without holding lock. And there was a race when device is created and the workqueue could run after deletion. Signed-off-by:
