      filter: optimize accesses to ancillary data · 12b16dad
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      We can translate pseudo load instructions at filter check time to
dedicated instructions to speed up filtering and avoid one switch().
libpcap currently uses SKF_AD_PROTOCOL, but custom filters probably use
other ancillary accesses.

Note : I made the assertion that ancillary data was always accessed with
BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_ABS instructions, not with BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_IND ones
(offset given by K constant, not by K + X register)

On x86_64, this saves a few bytes of text :

# size net/core/filter.o.*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4864	      0	      0	   4864	   1300	net/core/filter.o.new
   4944	      0	      0	   4944	   1350	net/core/filter.o.old

      bnx2: remove cancel_work_sync() from remove_one · cb8f4048
      Tejun Heo authored 
      Michael pointed out that bnx2_close() already cancels bp->reset_task
and thus it is guaranteed to be idle when bnx2_remove_one() is called.
Remove the unnecessary cancel_work_sync() in remove_one.

      stmmac: unwind properly in stmmac_dvr_probe() · 34a52f36
      Dan Carpenter authored 
      The original code had a several problems:
*) It had potential null dereferences of "priv" and "res".
*) It released the memory region before it was aquired.
*) It didn't free "ndev" after it was allocated.
*) It didn't call unregister_netdev() after calling stmmac_probe().

      bnx2x: remove bogus check · 4b97f8e1
      Dan Carpenter authored 
      We dereferenced params on the line before so it's too late to check if
params is NULL.  In fact, params can never be NULL and strict_cos is
either 0 or 1 so that part of the check is bogus too.  Let's remove it.

      net: timestamp cloned packet in dev_queue_xmit_nit · 70978182

[PATCH net-next-2.6] net: timestamp cloned packet in dev_queue_xmit_nit

Now we do one clone of skb if at least one sniffer might take packet,
we also can do the skb timestamping on the clone and let original packet
unchanged.

This is a generalization of commit 8caf1539 (net: sch_netem: Fix an
inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.)

This way, we can have a good idea when packets are delivered to our
stack (tcpdump -i ifb0), while a tcpdump on original device gives
timestamps right before ingressing.

This also speedup our stack, avoiding taking timestamps if not needed.

      TCP: increase default initial receive window. · 356f0398
      Nandita Dukkipati authored 
      This patch changes the default initial receive window to 10 mss
(defined constant). The default window is limited to the maximum
of 10*1460 and 2*mss (when mss > 1460).

draft-ietf-tcpm-initcwnd-00 is a proposal to the IETF that recommends
increasing TCP's initial congestion window to 10 mss or about 15KB.
Leading up to this proposal were several large-scale live Internet
experiments with an initial congestion window of 10 mss (IW10), where
we showed that the average latency of HTTP responses improved by
approximately 10%. This was accompanied by a slight increase in
retransmission rate (0.5%), most of which is coming from applications
opening multiple simultaneous connections. To understand the extreme
worst case scenarios, and fairness issues (IW10 versus IW3), we further
conducted controlled testbed experiments. We came away finding minimal
negative impact even under low link bandwidths (dial-ups) and small
buffers.  These results are extremely encouraging to adopting IW10.

However, an initial congestion window of 10 mss is useless unless a TCP
receiver advertises an initial receive window of at least 10 mss.
Fortunately, in the large-scale Internet experiments we found that most
widely used operating systems advertised large initial receive windows
of 64KB, allowing us to experiment with a wide range of initial
congestion windows. Linux systems were among the few exceptions that
advertised a small receive window of 6KB. The purpose of this patch is
to fix this shortcoming.

      net_sched: sch_sfq: better struct layouts · eda83e3b
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      Here is a respin of patch.

I'll send a short patch to make SFQ more fair in presence of large
packets as well.

Thanks

[PATCH v3 net-next-2.6] net_sched: sch_sfq: better struct layouts

This patch shrinks sizeof(struct sfq_sched_data)
from 0x14f8 (or more if spinlocks are bigger) to 0x1180 bytes, and
reduce text size as well.

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   4821     152       0    4973    136d old/net/sched/sch_sfq.o
   4627     136       0    4763    129b new/net/sched/sch_sfq.o

All data for a slot/flow is now grouped in a compact and cache friendly
structure, instead of being spreaded in many different points.

struct sfq_slot {
        struct sk_buff  *skblist_next;
        struct sk_buff  *skblist_prev;
        sfq_index       qlen; /* number of skbs in skblist */
        sfq_index       next; /* next slot in sfq chain */
        struct sfq_head dep; /* anchor in dep[] chains */
        unsigned short  hash; /* hash value (index in ht[]) */
        short           allot; /* credit for this slot */
};
