      tcp: Clear probes_out more aggressively in tcp_ack(). · 4b53fb67
      David S. Miller authored
      This is based upon an excellent bug report from Eric Dumazet.
      
      tcp_ack() should clear ->icsk_probes_out even if there are packets
      outstanding.  Otherwise if we get a sequence of ACKs while we do have
      packets outstanding over and over again, we'll never clear the
      probes_out value and eventually think the connection is too sick and
      we'll reset it.
      
      This appears to be some "optimization" added to tcp_ack() in the 2.4.x
      timeframe.  In 2.2.x, probes_out is pretty much always cleared by
      tcp_ack().
      
      Here is Eric's original report:
      
      ----------------------------------------
      Apparently, we can in some situations reset TCP connections in a couple of seconds when some frames are lost.
      
      In order to reproduce the problem, please try the following program on linux-2.6.25.*
      
      Setup some iptables rules to allow two frames per second sent on loopback interface to tcp destination port 12000
      
      iptables -N SLOWLO
      iptables -A SLOWLO -m hashlimit --hashlimit 2 --hashlimit-burst 1 --hashlimit-mode dstip --hashlimit-name slow2 -j ACCEPT
      iptables -A SLOWLO -j DROP
      
      iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --dport 12000 -j SLOWLO
      
      Then run the attached program and see the output :

      e1000e: fix e1000_netpoll(), remove extraneous e1000_clean_tx_irq() call · e8ebe3b8
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Evgeniy Polyakov noticed that drivers/net/e1000e/netdev.c:e1000_netpoll()
      was calling e1000_clean_tx_irq() without taking the TX lock.
      
      David Miller suggested to remove the call altogether: since in this
      callpah there's periodic calls to ->poll() anyway which will do
      e1000_clean_tx_irq() and will garbage-collect any finished TX ring
      descriptors.
      
      This fix solved the e1000e+netconsole crashes i've been seeing:

      In the merge phase of the CAN subsystem the

      443aef0e 
      (lockdep: fixup sk_callback_lock annotation). This trivial patch adds 
      the missing name for address family 29 (AF_CAN).

      netdev: Remove warning from __netif_schedule(). · 5b3ab1db
      David S. Miller authored
      It isn't helping anything and we aren't going to be able to change all
      the drivers that do queue wakeups in strange situations.
      
      Just letting a noop_qdisc get scheduled will work because when
      qdisc_run() executes via net_tx_work() it will simply find no packets
      pending when it makes the ->dequeue() call in qdisc_restart.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Stephen Rothwell points out that this file got deleted (on purpose) by
      commit 640c1bce ("USB: delete airprime
      driver"), but then almost immediately incorrectly resurrected by commit
      95da310e ("usb_serial: API all change").
      
      Delete it again.  If it comes back, we'll need to drive a stake through
      its heart.

      netif_carrier_{on,off}() handles starting and stopping packet
      flow into the driver.  So there is no reason to invoke netif_stop_queue()
      and netif_wake_queue() in response to link status events.
