Try to return back to pre-split\nstate already while more and more SACK info gets discovered by\ncombining newly discovered SACK areas with the previous skb if\nthat\u0027s SACKed as well.\n\nThis approach has a number of benefits:\n\n1) The processing overhead is spread more equally over the RTT\n2) Write queue has less skbs to process (affect everything\n which has to walk in the queue past the sacked areas)\n3) Write queue is consistent whole the time, so no other parts\n of TCP has to be aware of this (this was not the case with\n some other approach that was, well, quite intrusive all\n around).\n4) Clean_rtx_queue can release most of the pages using single\n put_page instead of previous PAGE_SIZE/mss+1 calls\n\nIn case a hole is fully filled by the new SACK block, we attempt\nto combine the next skb too which allows construction of skbs\nthat are even larger than what tso split them to and it handles\nhole per on every nth patterns that often occur during slow start\novershoot pretty nicely. Though this to be really useful also\na retransmission would have to get lost since cumulative ACKs\nadvance one hole at a time in the most typical case.\n\nTODO: handle upwards only merging. That should be rather easy\nwhen segment is fully sacked but I\u0027m leaving that as future\nwork item (it won\u0027t make very large difference anyway since\nthis current approach already covers quite a lot of normal\ncases).\n\nI was earlier thinking of some sophisticated way of tracking\ntimestamps of the first and the last segment but later on\nrealized that it won\u0027t be that necessary at all to store the\ntimestamp of the last segment. The cases that can occur are\nbasically either:\n 1) ambiguous \u003d\u003e no sensible measurement can be taken anyway\n 2) non-ambiguous is due to reordering \u003d\u003e having the timestamp\n of the last segment there is just skewing things more off\n than does some good since the ack got triggered by one of\n the holes (besides some substle issues that would make\n determining right hole/skb even harder problem). Anyway,\n it has nothing to do with this change then.\n\nI choose to route some abnormal looking cases with goto noop,\nsome could be handled differently (eg., by stopping the\nwalking at that skb but again). In general, they either\nshouldn\u0027t happen at all or are rare enough to make no difference\nin practice.\n\nIn theory this change (as whole) could cause some macroscale\nregression (global) because of cache misses that are taken over\nthe round-trip time but it gets very likely better because of much\nless (local) cache misses per other write queue walkers and the\nbig recovery clearing cumulative ack.\n\nWorth to note that these benefits would be very easy to get also\nwithout TSO/GSO being on as long as the data is in pages so that\nwe can merge them. Currently I won\u0027t let that happen because\nDSACK splitting at fragment that would mess up pcounts due to\nsk_can_gso in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs. Once DSACKs fragments gets\navoided, we have some conditions that can be made less strict.\n\nTODO: I will probably have to convert the excessive pointer\npassing to struct sacktag_state... :-)\n\nMy testing revealed that considerable amount of skbs couldn\u0027t\nbe shifted because they were cloned (most likely still awaiting\ntx reclaim)...\n\n[The rest is considering future work instead since I got\nrepeatably EFAULT to tcpdump\u0027s recvfrom when I added\npskb_expand_head to deal with clones, so I separated that\ninto another, later patch]\n\n...To counter that, I gave up on the fifth advantage:\n\n5) When growing previous SACK block, less allocs for new skbs\n are done, basically a new alloc is needed only when new hole\n is detected and when the previous skb runs out of frags space\n\n...which now only happens of if reclaim is fast enough to dispose\nthe clone before the SACK block comes in (the window is RTT long),\notherwise we\u0027ll have to alloc some.\n\nWith clones being handled I got these numbers (will be somewhat\nworse without that), taken with fine-grained mibs:\n\n TCPSackShifted 398\n TCPSackMerged 877\n TCPSackShiftFallback 320\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKGSO 0\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKSKBBITS 0\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKSKBDATA 0\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKBELOW 0\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKFIRST 1\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKPREVBITS 318\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKMSS 1\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKNOHEAD 0\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKSHIFT 0\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSENOOPSEQ 0\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSENOOPSMALLPCOUNT 0\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSENOOPSMALLLEN 0\n TCPSACKCOLLAPSEHOLE 12\n\nSigned-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen \u003cilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi\u003e\nSigned-off-by: David S.

This is a huge overhead when receiving\nsmall packets, and is most keenly felt when receiving MTU sized\npackets from off-host.\n\nThe VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature flag is set by hosts which support\nusing receive buffers which are smaller than the maximum packet size.\nIn order to transfer large packets to the guest, the host merges\ntogether multiple receive buffers to form a larger logical buffer.\nThe number of merged buffers is returned to the guest via a field in\nthe virtio_net_hdr.\n\nMake use of this support by supplying single page receive buffers to\nthe host. On receive, we extract the virtio_net_hdr, copy 128 bytes of\nthe payload to the skb\u0027s linear data buffer and adjust the fragment\noffset to point to the remaining data. This ensures proper alignment\nand allows us to not use any paged data for small packets. If the\npayload occupies multiple pages, we simply append those pages as\nfragments and free the associated skbs.\n\nThis scheme allows us to be efficient in our use of ring entries\nwhile still supporting large packets.

That\u0027s fine if we have a hold on inode; however, for all\nother cases we need to make damn sure we don\u0027t race with umount. We can\n*NOT* just grab a reference to a watch - inotify_unmount_inodes() will\nhappily sail past it and we\u0027ll end with reference to inode potentially\noutliving its superblock.\n\nIdeally we just want to grab an active reference to superblock if we\ncan; that will make sure we won\u0027t go into inotify_umount_inodes() until\nwe are done. Cleanup is just deactivate_super().\n\nHowever, that leaves a messy case - what if we *are* racing with\numount() and active references to superblock can\u0027t be acquired anymore?\nWe can bump -\u003es_count, grab -\u003es_umount, which will almost certainly wait\nuntil the superblock is shut down and the watch in question is pining\nfor fjords. That\u0027s fine, but there is a problem - we might have hit the\nwindow between -\u003es_active getting to 0 / -\u003es_count - below S_BIAS (i.e.\nthe moment when superblock is past the point of no return and is heading\nfor shutdown) and the moment when deactivate_super() acquires\n-\u003es_umount.\n\nWe could just do drop_super() yield() and retry, but that\u0027s rather\nantisocial and this stuff is luser-triggerable. OTOH, having grabbed\n-\u003es_umount and having found that we\u0027d got there first (i.e. that\n-\u003es_root is non-NULL) we know that we won\u0027t race with\ninotify_umount_inodes().\n\nSo we could grab a reference to watch and do the rest as above, just\nwith drop_super() instead of deactivate_super(), right? Wrong. We had\nto drop ih-\u003emutex before we could grab -\u003es_umount. So the watch\ncould\u0027ve been gone already.\n\nThat still can be dealt with - we need to save watch-\u003ewd, do idr_find()\nand compare its result with our pointer. If they match, we either have\nthe damn thing still alive or we\u0027d lost not one but two races at once,\nthe watch had been killed and a new one got created with the same -\u003ewd\nat the same address. That couldn\u0027t have happened in inotify_destroy(),\nbut inotify_rm_wd() could run into that. Still, \"new one got created\"\nis not a problem - we have every right to kill it or leave it alone,\nwhatever\u0027s more convenient.\n\nSo we can use idr_find(...) \u003d\u003d watch \u0026\u0026 watch-\u003einode-\u003ei_sb \u003d\u003d sb as\n\"grab it and kill it\" check. If it\u0027s been our original watch, we are\nfine, if it\u0027s a newcomer - nevermind, just pretend that we\u0027d won the\nrace and kill the fscker anyway; we are safe since we know that its\nsuperblock won\u0027t be going away.\n\nAnd yes, this is far beyond mere \"not very pretty\"; so\u0027s the entire\nconcept of inotify to start with.\n\nSigned-off-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nAcked-by: Greg KH \u003cgreg@kroah.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "537a2f889ac847468c9aa040910c247b218302a7", "tree": "ea21b1dfd11e4234b108059c84c2a42887dc9254", "parents": [ "fab349cceb25f92bac1400601c5ef8345a166958", "272966c070237c8cb540fe67e06df51bc6ea9cc2" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat Nov 15 12:10:32 2008 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat Nov 15 12:10:32 2008 -0800" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027sh/for-2.6.28\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lethal/sh-2.6\n\n* \u0027sh/for-2.6.28\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lethal/sh-2.6:\n serial: sh-sci: Reorder the SCxTDR write after the TDxE clear.\n sh: __copy_user function can corrupt the stack in case of exception\n sh: Fixed the TMU0 reload value on resume\n sh: Don\u0027t factor in PAGE_OFFSET for valid_phys_addr_range() check.\n sh: early printk port type fix\n i2c: fix i2c-sh_mobile rx underrun\n sh: Provide a sane valid_phys_addr_range() to prevent TLB reset with PMB.\n usb: r8a66597-hcd: fix wrong data access in SuperH on-chip USB\n fix sci type for SH7723\n serial: sh-sci: fix cannot work SH7723 SCIFA\n sh: Handle fixmap TLB eviction more coherently.\n" }, { "commit": "d091c2f58ba32029495a933b721e8e02fbd12caa", "tree": "9f20dc4cc77e7178270fb1d5946918fe44d4e3eb", "parents": [ "4d41e121664893e5e338f41fbd36be4a2578c8d6" ], "author": { "name": "Martin Schwidefsky", "email": "schwidefsky@de.ibm.com", "time": "Wed Nov 12 21:16:43 2008 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat Nov 15 11:43:37 2008 -0800" }, "message": "Add \u0027pr_fmt()\u0027 format modifier to pr_xyz macros.\n\nA common reason for device drivers to implement their own printk macros\nis the lack of a printk prefix with the standard pr_xyz macros.\nIntroduce a pr_fmt() macro that is applied for every pr_xyz macro to the\nformat string.\n\nThe most common use of the pr_fmt macro would be to add the name of the\ndevice driver to all pr_xyz messages in a source file.\n\nSigned-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky \u003cschwidefsky@de.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "e8f6fbf62de37cbc2e179176ac7010d5f4396b67", "tree": "ac22d719c3c93d24b7eeda395b3271be60bfc661", "parents": [ "1fa989e80a9a104bf3b81842a5f4c1867d7aa9c4" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Wed Nov 12 01:38:36 2008 +0000" }, "committer": { "name": "David S.

This patch addes a new kernel API to the\nring buffers called:\n\n tracing_on()\n tracing_off()\n\nWhen tracing_off() is called, all ring buffers will not be able to record\ninto their buffers.\n\ntracing_on() will enable the ring buffers again.\n\nThese two act like an on/off switch. That is, there is no counting of the\nnumber of times tracing_off or tracing_on has been called.\n\nA new file is added to the debugfs/tracing directory called\n\n tracing_on\n\nThis allows for userspace applications to also flip the switch.\n\n echo 0 \u003e debugfs/tracing/tracing_on\n\ndisables the tracing.\n\n echo 1 \u003e /debugfs/tracing/tracing_on\n\nenables it.\n\nNote, this does not disable or enable any tracers. It only sets or clears\na flag that needs to be set in order for the ring buffers to write to\ntheir buffers. It is a global flag, and affects all ring buffers.\n\nThe buffers start out with tracing_on enabled.\n\nThere are now three flags that control recording into the buffers:\n\n tracing_on: which affects all ring buffer tracers.\n\n buffer-\u003erecord_disabled: which affects an allocated buffer, which may be set\n if an anomaly is detected, and tracing is disabled.\n\n cpu_buffer-\u003erecord_disabled: which is set by tracing_stop() or if an\n anomaly is detected. tracing_start can not reenable this if\n an anomaly occurred.\n\nThe userspace debugfs/tracing/tracing_enabled is implemented with\ntracing_stop() but the user space code can not enable it if the kernel\ncalled tracing_stop().\n\nUserspace can enable the tracing_on even if the kernel disabled it.\nIt is just a switch used to stop tracing if a condition was hit.\ntracing_on is not for protecting critical areas in the kernel nor is\nit for stopping tracing if an anomaly occurred. This is because userspace\ncan reenable it at any time.\n\nSide effect: With this patch, I discovered a dead variable in ftrace.c\n called tracing_on. This patch removes it.\n\nSigned-off-by: Steven Rostedt \u003csrostedt@redhat.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "2f96cb57cde9957bac0991c712068d29364b2ac9", "tree": "60e3f985b9e865f3a1fdda131599fa84159cc73e", "parents": [ "09eb3b5b1bcab7b25e9dd57e90ee9753adf7afe2", "2002c69595a092518107f7e3c1294c9710bc92ae" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Nov 11 10:52:25 2008 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Nov 11 10:52:25 2008 -0800" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027sched-fixes-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip\n\n* \u0027sched-fixes-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:\n sched: release buddies on yield\n fix for account_group_exec_runtime(), make sure -\u003esignal can\u0027t be freed under rq-\u003elock\n sched: clean up debug info\n" }, { "commit": "0906dd9df2f79042cfa82d8388895be7cbe7a51b", "tree": "98344a1ecf258320008846434475e58c70f479c3", "parents": [ "8eb04cf3402c59e84af9d2e86149edb4044f9a9e" ], "author": { "name": "Alan Cox", "email": "alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk", "time": "Tue Nov 11 14:51:23 2008 +0000" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Nov 11 09:30:23 2008 -0800" }, "message": "telephony: trivial: fix up email address\n\nSigned-off-by: Alan Cox \u003calan@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "0a4cf2c8786219b4871c37240ab9787a61d843ee", "tree": "a126516733f3a757711754bbac189417c79d8bcb", "parents": [ "4694516d1987303dd83bfd0efdd36fa5b65d701b", "df02c6ff2e3937379b31ea161b53229134fe92f7" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Nov 11 09:20:29 2008 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Nov 11 09:20:29 2008 -0800" }, "message": "Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6\n\n* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6:\n dsa: fix master interface allmulti/promisc handling\n dsa: fix skb-\u003epkt_type when mac address of slave interface differs\n net: fix setting of skb-\u003etail in skb_recycle_check()\n net: fix /proc/net/snmp as memory corruptor\n mac80211: fix a buffer overrun in station debug code\n netfilter: payload_len is be16, add size of struct rather than size of pointer\n ipv6: fix ip6_mr_init error path\n [4/4] dca: fixup initialization dependency\n [3/4] I/OAT: fix async_tx.callback checking\n [2/4] I/OAT: fix dma_pin_iovec_pages() error handling\n [1/4] I/OAT: fix channel resources free for not allocated channels\n ssb: Fix DMA-API compilation for non-PCI systems\n SSB: hide empty sub menu\n vlan: Fix typos in proc output string\n [netdrvr] usb/hso: Cleanup rfkill error handling\n sfc: Correct address of gPXE boot configuration in EEPROM\n el3_common_init() should be __devinit, not __init\n hso: rfkill type should be WWAN\n mlx4_en: Start port error flow bug fix\n af_key: mark policy as dead before destroying\n" }, { "commit": "ad474caca3e2a0550b7ce0706527ad5ab389a4d4", "tree": "6d4e5cbcee3a85230317a33d66655ece0c873f5c", "parents": [ "5ac5c4d604bf894ef672a7971d03fefdc7ea7e49" ], "author": { "name": "Oleg Nesterov", "email": "oleg@redhat.com", "time": "Mon Nov 10 15:39:30 2008 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Tue Nov 11 08:01:43 2008 +0100" }, "message": "fix for account_group_exec_runtime(), make sure -\u003esignal can\u0027t be freed under rq-\u003elock\n\nImpact: fix hang/crash on ia64 under high load\n\nThis is ugly, but the simplest patch by far.\n\nUnlike other similar routines, account_group_exec_runtime() could be\ncalled \"implicitly\" from within scheduler after exit_notify().
