This change cleans up the last bits of tcp_try_coalesce so that we only need one goto which jumps to the end of the function. The idea is to make the code more readable by putting things in a linear order so that we start execution at the top of the function, and end it at the bottom. I also made a slight tweak to the code for handling frags when we are a clone. Instead of making it an if (clone) loop else nr_frags = 0 I changed the logic so that if (!clone) we just set the number of frags to 0 which disables the for loop anyway.

This change reorders the code related to the use of an skb->head_frag so it is placed before we check the rest of the frags. This allows the code to read more linearly instead of like some sort of loop.

This patch addresses several issues in the way we were tracking the truesize in tcp_try_coalesce. First it was using ksize which prevents us from having a 0 sized head frag and getting a usable result. To resolve that this patch uses the end pointer which is set based off either ksize, or the frag_size supplied in build_skb. This allows us to compute the original truesize of the entire buffer and remove that value leaving us with just what was added as pages. The second issue was the use of skb->len if there is a mergeable head frag. We should only need to remove the size of an data aligned sk_buff from our current skb->truesize to compute the delta for a buffer with a reused head. By using skb->len the value of truesize was being artificially reduced which means that head frags could use more memory than buffers using standard allocations.

This change is meant ot prevent stealing the skb->head to use as a page in the event that the skb->head was cloned. This allows the other clones to track each other via shinfo->dataref. Without this we break down to two methods for tracking the reference count, one being dataref, the other being the page count. As a result it becomes difficult to track how many references there are to skb->head.

Extend tcp coalescing implementing it from tcp_queue_rcv(), the main receiver function when application is not blocked in recvmsg(). Function tcp_queue_rcv() is moved a bit to allow its call from tcp_data_queue() This gives good results especially if GRO could not kick, and if skb head is a fragment.

Before stealing fragments or skb head, we must make sure skbs are not cloned. Alexander was worried about destination skb being cloned : In bridge setups, a driver could be fooled if skb->data_len would not match skb nr_frags. If source skb is cloned, we must take references on pages instead. Bug happened using tcpdump (if not using mmap()) Introduce kfree_skb_partial() helper to cleanup code.

Implementing the advanced early retransmit (sysctl_tcp_early_retrans==2). Delays the fast retransmit by an interval of RTT/4. We borrow the RTO timer to implement the delay. If we receive another ACK or send a new packet, the timer is cancelled and restored to original RTO value offset by time elapsed. When the delayed-ER timer fires, we enter fast recovery and perform fast retransmit.

This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP. It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout. While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection after the first reordering event. A large scale web server experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”, IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if people think it's a good idea. ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans: 0: Disables ER 1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4. 2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay entering fast recovery by RTT/4. Note: mode 2 is implemented in the third part of this patch series.

Secondary unicast and multicast addresses are added to the Receive Address registers (RAR) for most parts supported by the driver. For 82579, there is only one actual RAR and a number of Shared Receive Address registers (SHRAR) that are shared among the driver and f/w which can be reserved and write-protected by the f/w. On this device, use the SHRARs that are not taken by f/w for the additional addresses. Add a MAC ops function pointer infrastructure (similar to other MAC operations in the driver) for setting RARs, introduce a new rar_set function for 82579 and convert the existing code that sets RARs on other devices to a generic rar_set function.

An update to the EEPROM on 82579 will extend a delay in hardware to fix an issue with WoL not working after a G3->S5 transition which is unrelated to the driver. However, this extended delay conflicts with nominal operation of the device when it is initialized by the driver and after every reset of the hardware (i.e. the driver starts configuring the device before the hardware is done with it's own configuration work). The workaround for when the driver is in control of the device is to tell the hardware after every reset the configuration delay should be the original shorter one. Some pre-existing variables are renamed generically to be re-used with new register accesses.

The netlink API lets users create unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels using iproute2. Until now, a request to create an unmanaged L2TPv3 IP encapsulation tunnel over IPv6 would be rejected with EPROTONOSUPPORT. Now that l2tp_ip6 implements sockets for L2TP IP encapsulation over IPv6, we can add support for that tunnel type. Signed-off-by: James Chapman <jchapman@katalix.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
