      net: add adj_list to save only neighbours · 2f268f12
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      Currently, we distinguish neighbours (first-level linked devices) from
      non-neighbours by the neighbour bool in the netdev_adjacent. This could be
      quite time-consuming in case we would like to traverse *only* through
      neighbours - cause we'd have to traverse through all devices and check for
      this flag, and in a (quite common) scenario where we have lots of vlans on
      top of bridge, which is on top of a bond - the bonding would have to go
      through all those vlans to get its upper neighbour linked devices.
      
      This situation is really unpleasant, cause there are already a lot of cases
      when a device with slaves needs to go through them in hot path.
      
      To fix this, introduce a new upper/lower device lists structure -
      adj_list, which contains only the neighbours. It works always in
      pair with the all_adj_list structure (renamed from upper/lower_dev_list),
      i.e. both of them contain the same links, only that all_adj_list contains
      also non-neighbour device links. It's really a small change visible,
      currently, only for __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert/remove(), and doesn't
      change the main linked logic at all.
      
      Also, add some comments a fix a name collision in
      netdev_for_each_upper_dev_rcu() and rework the naming by the following
      rules:
      
      netdev_(all_)(upper|lower)_*
      
      If "all_" is present, then we work with the whole list of upper/lower
      devices, otherwise - only with direct neighbours. Uninline functions - to
      get better stack traces.

      net: use lists as arguments instead of bool upper · 7863c054
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      Currently we make use of bool upper when we want to specify if we want to
      work with upper/lower list. It's, however, harder to read, debug and
      occupies a lot more code.
      
      Fix this by just passing the correct upper/lower_dev_list list_head pointer
      instead of bool upper, and work internally with it.

      net: neighbour: use source address of last enqueued packet for solicitation · 4ed377e3
      Hannes Frederic Sowa authored
      Currently we always use the first member of the arp_queue to determine
      the sender ip address of the arp packet (or in case of IPv6 - source
      address of the ndisc packet). This skb is fixed as long as the queue is
      not drained by a complete purge because of a timeout or by a successful
      response.
      
      If the first packet enqueued on the arp_queue is from a local application
      with a manually set source address and the to be discovered system
      does some kind of uRPF checks on the source address in the arp packet
      the resolving process hangs until a timeout and restarts. This hurts
      communication with the participating network node.
      
      This could be mitigated a bit if we use the latest enqueued skb's
      source address for the resolving process, which is not as static as
      the arp_queue's head. This change of the source address could result in
      better recovery of a failed solicitation.

      Also, as Stephen pointed out, after vxlan module gets ipv6 support,
      the ipv6 stub it used is not safe against this module removal either.
      So, let's just remove inet6_exit() so that ipv6 module will not be

      tcp: fix dynamic right sizing · b0983d3c
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Dynamic Right Sizing (DRS) is supposed to open TCP receive window
      automatically, but suffers from two bugs, presented by order
      of importance.
      
      1) tcp_rcv_space_adjust() fix :
      
      Using twice the last received amount is very pessimistic,
      because it doesn't allow fast recovery or proper slow start
      ramp up, if sender wants to increase cwin by 100% every RTT.
      
      copied = bytes received in previous RTT
      
      2*copied = bytes we expect to receive in next RTT
      
      4*copied = bytes we need to advertise in rwin at end of next RTT
      
      DRS is one RTT late, it needs a 4x factor.
      
      If sender is not using ABC, and increases cwin by 50% every rtt,
      then we needed 1.5*1.5 = 2.25 factor.
      This is probably why this bug was not really noticed.
      
      2) There is no window adjustment after first RTT. DRS triggers only
        after the second RTT.
        DRS needs two RTT to initialize, so tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() should setup
        sk_rcvbuf to allow proper window grow for first two RTT.
      
      This patch increases TCP efficiency particularly for large RTT flows
      when autotuning is used at the receiver, and more particularly
      in presence of packet losses.

      This is sad since the tables were already small, but there

      tcp: syncookies: reduce cookie lifetime to 128 seconds · 8c27bd75
      Florian Westphal authored
      We currently accept cookies that were created less than 4 minutes ago
      (ie, cookies with counter delta 0-3).  Combined with the 8 mss table
      values, this yields 32 possible values (out of 2**32) that will be valid.
      
      Reducing the lifetime to < 2 minutes halves the guessing chance while
      still providing a large enough period.
      
      While at it, get rid of jiffies value -- they overflow too quickly on
      32 bit platforms.
      
      getnstimeofday is used to create a counter that increments every 64s.
      perf shows getnstimeofday cost is negible compared to sha_transform;
      normal tcp initial sequence number generation uses getnstimeofday, too.

      Merge branch 'cpsw' · 61f860c3
      David S. Miller authored
      Mugunthan V N says:
      
      ====================
      This patch series adds the support for configuring GMII_SEL register
      of control module to select the phy mode type and also to configure
      the clock source for RMII phy mode whether to use internal clock or
      the external clock from the phy itself.
      
      Till now CPSW works as this configuration is done in U-Boot and carried
      over to the kernel. But during suspend/resume Control module tends to
      lose its configured value for GMII_SEL register in AM33xx PG1.0, so
      if CPSW is used in RMII or RGMII mode, on resume cpsw is not working
      as GMII_SEL register lost its configuration values.
      
      The initial version of the patch is done by Daniel Mack but as per
      Tony's comment he wants it as a seperate driver as it is done in USB
      control module. I have created a seperate driver for the same.

      drivers: net: cpsw-phy-sel: Add new driver for phy mode selection for cpsw · 5892cd13
      Mugunthan V N authored
      The cpsw currently lacks code to properly set up the hardware interface
      mode on AM33xx. Other platforms might be equally affected.
      
      Usually, the bootloader will configure the control module register, so
      probably that's why such support wasn't needed in the past. In suspend
      mode though, this register is modified, and so it needs reprogramming
      after resume.
      
      This patch adds a new driver in which hardware interface can configure
      correct register bits when the slave is opened.
      
      The AM33xx also has a bit for each slave to configure the RMII reference
      clock direction. Setting it is now supported by a per-slave DT property.
      
      This code path introducted by this patch is currently exclusive for
      am33xx and same can be extened to various platforms via the DT compatibility
      property.

      emulex: Remove extern from function prototypes · 31886e87
      Joe Perches authored
      There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
      in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
      function prototypes.
      
      Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
      extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
      using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.
