The code was too complicated, if p > 0 in ccid3_hc_tx_no_feedback_timer the timestamp was being obtained to be passed to ccid3_hc_tx_update_x, where only if p > 0 the timestamp was needed, so just leave it to ccid3_hc_tx_update_x to obtain the timestamp if needed. This will help in the upcoming changesets where we'll convert t_ld to ktime_t. We'll eventually try to reuse ktime_get_real() calls again. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces autotuning to the sctp buffer management code similar to the TCP. The buffer space can be grown if the advertised receive window still has room. This might happen if small message sizes are used, which is common in telecom environmens. New tunables are introduced that provide limits to buffer growth and memory pressure is entered if to much buffer spaces is used. Signed-off-by:

Several get/set functions can be handled by a passing the ethtool_op function pointer directly to a generic function. This permits deletion of a fair bit of redundant code. Signed-off-by:

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated accordingly. Issues and brief design overview: (1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there. (2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus, netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of _this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls. (3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt. (4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API, that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure. netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to be used from netconsole.

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. This patch introduces support for multiple targets, independent of CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC -- this is useful even in the default case and (including the infrastructure introduced in previous patches) doesn't really add too many bytes to module text. All the complexity (and size) comes with the dynamic reconfigurability / userspace interface patch, and so it's plausible users may want to keep this enabled but that disabled (say to avoid a dependency on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS too). Also update documentation to mention the use of ";" separator to specify multiple logging targets in the boot/module option string. Brief overview: We maintain a target_list (and corresponding lock). Get rid of the static "default_target" and introduce allocation and release functions for our netconsole_target objects (but keeping sure to preserve previous behaviour such as default values). During init_netconsole(), ";" is used as the separator to identify multiple target specifications in the boot/module option string. The target specifications are parsed and netpolls setup. During exit, the target_list is torn down and all items released. Signed-off-by:

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. To update fields of underlying netpoll structure at runtime on corresponding NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME notifications. ioctl(SIOCSIFHWADDR or SIOCSIFNAME) could be used to change the hardware/MAC address or name of the local interface that our netpoll is attached to. Whenever this happens, netdev notifier chain is called out with the NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME event message. We respond to that and update the local_mac or dev_name field of the struct netpoll. This makes sense anyway, but is especially required for dynamic netconsole because the netpoll structure's internal members become user visible files when either sysfs or configfs are used. So this helps us to keep up with the MAC address/name changes and keep values in struct netpoll uptodate. [ Note that ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) to change IP address of interface at runtime is not handled (to update local_ip of netpoll) on purpose -- some setups may set the local_ip to a private address, not necessary the actual IP address of the sender host, as presently allowed. ] Signed-off-by:

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. Introduce a wrapper structure over netpoll to represent logging targets configured in netconsole. This will get extended with other members in further patches. This is done independent of the (to-be-introduced) NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC config option so that we're able to drastically cut down on the #ifdef complexity of final netconsole.c. Also, struct netconsole_target would be required for multiple targets support also, and not just dynamic reconfigurability. Signed-off-by:

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. Presently, boot/module parameters are set up quite differently for the case of built-in netconsole (__setup() -> obsolete_checksetup() -> netpoll_parse_options() -> strlen(config) == 0 in init_netconsole()) vs modular netconsole (module_param_string() -> string copied to the config variable -> strlen(config) != 0 init_netconsole() -> netpoll_parse_options()). This patch makes both of them similar by doing exactly the equivalent of a module_param_string() in option_setup() also -- just copying the param string passed from the kernel command line into "config" variable. So, strlen(config) != 0 in both cases, and netpoll_parse_options() is always called from init_netconsole(), thus making the setup logic for both cases similar. Now, option_setup() is only ever called / used for the built-in case, so we put it inside a #ifndef MODULE, otherwise gcc will complain about option_setup() being "defined but not used". Also, the "configured" variable is redundant with this patch and hence removed. Signed-off-by:

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. The (!np.dev) check in write_msg() is bogus (always false), because: np.dev is set by netpoll_setup(), which is called by init_netconsole() before register_console(), so write_msg() cannot be triggered unless netpoll_setup() successfully set np.dev. Also np.dev cannot go away from under us, because netpoll_setup() grabs us reference on it. So let's remove the bogus check. Signed-off-by:

This stale info came from the original idea, which proved to be unnecessarily complex, sacked_out > 0 is easy to do and that when it's going to be needed anyway (it _can_ be valid also when sacked_out == 0 but there's not going to be a guarantee about it for now). Signed-off-by:

Previously code had IsReno/IsFack defined as macros that were local to tcp_input.c though sack_ok field has user elsewhere too for the same purpose. This changes them to static inlines as preferred according the current coding style and unifies the access to sack_ok across multiple files. Magic bitops of sack_ok for FACK and DSACK are also abstracted to functions with appropriate names. Note: - One sack_ok = 1 remains but that's self explanary, i.e., it enables sack - Couple of !IsReno cases are changed to tcp_is_sack - There were no users for IsDSack => I dropped it Signed-off-by:

BUG_ON is an overkill. In fact, I was mislead by BUG_TRAP severity (equals to WARN_ON) which is much lower than BUG_ON's (that panics). Signed-off-by:

Previously TCP had a transitional state during which reno counted segments that are already below the current window into sacked_out, which is now prevented. In addition, re-try now the unconditional S+L skb catching. This approach conservatively calls just remove_sack and leaves reset_sack() calls alone. The best solution to the whole problem would be to first calculate the new sacked_out fully (this patch does not move reno_sack_reset calls from original sites and thus does not implement this). However, that would require very invasive change to fastretrans_alert (perhaps even slicing it to two halves). Alternatively, all callers of tcp_packets_in_flight (i.e., users that depend on sacked_out) should be postponed until the new sacked_out has been calculated but it isn't any simpler alternative.

This happens rather infrequently and is only possible during FRTO. We must not allow TCP to slip to Open state because tcp_fastretrans_alert might then not be called on it's time when FRTO has exited. This become a problem when left_out got removed and was replaced by just sacked_out. Signed-off-by:
