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.

Pci core has been saved pm cap register offset by pdev->pm_cap in pci_pm_init() in init path. So we can use pdev->pm_cap instead of using pci_find_capability(pdev, PCI_CAP_ID_PM) for better performance and simplified code.

Pci_enable_device() will set device power state to D0, so it's no need to do it again in bnx2x_init_dev().

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.

Conflicts: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c net/wireless/nl80211.c The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right next to the deletion of another option. The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action(). Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically keep everything in both conflict hunks. The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation. However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes. To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try to allocate 'tb'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
