      nfp: read chip model from the PluDevice register · 421bceb2
      Dirk van der Merwe authored
      The PluDevice register provides the authoritative chip model/revision.
      
      Since the model number is purely used for reporting purposes, follow
      the hardware team convention of subtracting 0x10 from the PluDevice
      register to obtain the chip model/revision number.

      tcp: force a PSH flag on TSO packets · 051ba674
      Eric Dumazet authored
      When tcp sends a TSO packet, adding a PSH flag on it
      reduces the sojourn time of GRO packet in GRO receivers.
      
      This is particularly the case under pressure, since RX queues
      receive packets for many concurrent flows.
      
      A sender can give a hint to GRO engines when it is
      appropriate to flush a super-packet, especially when pacing
      is in the picture, since next packet is probably delayed by
      one ms.
      
      Having less packets in GRO engine reduces chance
      of LRU eviction or inflated RTT, and reduces GRO cost.
      
      We found recently that we must not set the PSH flag on
      individual full-size MSS segments [1] :
      
       Under pressure (CWR state), we better let the packet sit
       for a small delay (depending on NAPI logic) so that the
       ACK packet is delayed, and thus next packet we send is
       also delayed a bit. Eventually the bottleneck queue can
       be drained. DCTCP flows with CWND=1 have demonstrated
       the issue.
      
      This patch allows to slowdown the aggregate traffic without
      involving high resolution timers on senders and/or
      receivers.
      
      It has been used at Google for about four years,
      and has been discussed at various networking conferences.
      
      [1] segments smaller than MSS already have PSH flag set
          by tcp_sendmsg() / tcp_mark_push(), unless MSG_MORE
          has been requested by the user.
