This patch adds DCA cache warming for systems that support DCA. The code uses cpu affinity notification to react to an affinity change from a user mode program like irqbalance and (re-)program the chip accordingly. This notification avoids reading the current cpu on every interrupt.

This patch removes an empty ifdef from inet_frag_intern() in net/ipv4/inet_fragment.c. commit b67bfe0d (hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators) removed hlist from net/ipv4/inet_fragment.c, but did not remove the enclosing ifdef command, which is now empty.

htb_sched structures are big, and source of false sharing on SMP. Every time a packet is queued or dequeue, many cache lines must be touched because structures are not lay out properly. By carefully splitting htb_sched in two parts, and define sub structures to increase data locality, we can improve performance dramatically on SMP. New htb_prio structure can also be used in htb_class to increase data locality. I got 26 % performance increase on a 24 threads machine, with 200 concurrent netperf in TCP_RR mode, using a HTB hierarchy of 4 classes.

In previous discussions, I tried to find some reasonable heuristics for delayed ACK, however this seems not possible, according to Eric: "ACKS might also be delayed because of bidirectional traffic, and is more controlled by the application response time. TCP stack can not easily estimate it." "ACK can be incredibly useful to recover from losses in a short time. The vast majority of TCP sessions are small lived, and we send one ACK per received segment anyway at beginning or retransmits to let the sender smoothly increase its cwnd, so an auto-tuning facility wont help them that much." and according to David: "ACKs are the only information we have to detect loss. And, for the same reasons that TCP VEGAS is fundamentally broken, we cannot measure the pipe or some other receiver-side-visible piece of information to determine when it's "safe" to stretch ACK. And even if it's "safe", we should not do it so that losses are accurately detected and we don't spuriously retransmit. The only way to know when the bandwidth increases is to "test" it, by sending more and more packets until drops happen. That's why all successful congestion control algorithms must operate on explicited tested pieces of information. Similarly, it's not really possible to universally know if it's safe to stretch ACK or not." It still makes sense to enable or disable quick ack mode like what TCP_QUICK_ACK does. Similar to TCP_QUICK_ACK option, but for people who can't modify the source code and still wants to control TCP delayed ACK behavior. As David suggested, this should belong to per-path scope, since different pathes may want different behaviors.

ETRAX_ETHERNET selects ETHERNET and MII, which depend on NETDEVICES. I don't think anything should select NETDEVICES, so make it a dependency. It also doesn't need to select or depend on ETHERNET, which has nothing to do with the Ethernet library functions. BPCTL selects MII, which depends on NETDEVICES. But everything in the drivers/staging/silicom directory is related to net devices, so make NET_VENDOR_SILICOM depend on NETDEVICES and remove the now-redundant dependencies on NET.

All drivers that select MII also need to select NET_CORE because MII depends on it. This is a bit ridiculous because NET_CORE is just a menu option that doesn't enable any code by itself. There is also no need for it to be a visible option, since its users all select it.

The current situation is that SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF is 2048 + sizeof(struct sk_buff)) while SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF is 2048. Since in both cases, skb->truesize is used for sk_{r,w}mem_alloc accounting, we should have both sizes adjusted via defining a TCP_SKB_MIN_TRUESIZE. Further, as Eric Dumazet points out, the minimal skb truesize in transmit path is SKB_TRUESIZE(2048) after commit f07d960d ("tcp: avoid frag allocation for small frames"), and tcp_sendmsg() tries to limit skb size to half the congestion window, meaning we try to build two skbs at minimum. Thus, having SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF as 2048 can hit a small regression for some applications setting to low SO_SNDBUF / SO_RCVBUF. Note that we define a TCP_SKB_MIN_TRUESIZE, because SKB_TRUESIZE(2048) adds SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)), but in case of TCP skbs, the skb_shared_info is part of the 2048 bytes allocation for skb->head. The minor adaption in sk_stream_moderate_sndbuf() is to silence a warning by using a typed max macro, as similarly done in SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF occurences, that would appear otherwise.

Though we don't export the /proc/sys/net/ipv[4,6]/neigh/default/ directory to the un-init_net, but we can still use cmd such as "ip ntable change name arp_cache locktime 129" to change the locktime of default neigh_parms. This patch disallows the un-init_net to find out the neigh_table.parms. So the un-init_net will failed to influence the init_net.
