* mv643xx_eth with 88E1318S: support Wake on LANMichael Stapelberg2013-03-122-0/+159
| | | | | | | | | | | This has been tested on a qnap TS-119P II. Note that enabling WOL with "ethtool -s eth0 wol g" is not enough; you also need to tell the PIC microcontroller inside the qnap that WOL should be enabled by sending 0xF2 with qcontrol(1) and you have to disable EUP ("Energy-using Products", a European power-saving thing) by sending 0xF4.

* tcp: TLP loss detection.Nandita Dukkipati2013-03-127-0/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the second of the TLP patch series; it augments the basic TLP algorithm with a loss detection scheme. This patch implements a mechanism for loss detection when a Tail loss probe retransmission plugs a hole thereby masking packet loss from the sender. The loss detection algorithm relies on counting TLP dupacks as outlined in Sec. 3 of: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01 The basic idea is: Sender keeps track of TLP "episode" upon retransmission of a TLP packet. An episode ends when the sender receives an ACK above the SND.NXT (tracked by tlp_high_seq) at the time of the episode. We want to make sure that before the episode ends the sender receives a "TLP dupack", indicating that the TLP retransmission was unnecessary, so there was no loss/hole that needed plugging. If the sender gets no TLP dupack before the end of the episode, then it reduces ssthresh and the congestion window, because the TLP packet arriving at the receiver probably plugged a hole.

* tcp: Tail loss probe (TLP)Nandita Dukkipati2013-03-1212-28/+171
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch series implement the Tail loss probe (TLP) algorithm described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01. The first patch implements the basic algorithm. TLP's goal is to reduce tail latency of short transactions. It achieves this by converting retransmission timeouts (RTOs) occuring due to tail losses (losses at end of transactions) into fast recovery. TLP transmits one packet in two round-trips when a connection is in Open state and isn't receiving any ACKs. The transmitted packet, aka loss probe, can be either new or a retransmission. When there is tail loss, the ACK from a loss probe triggers FACK/early-retransmit based fast recovery, thus avoiding a costly RTO. In the absence of loss, there is no change in the connection state. PTO stands for probe timeout. It is a timer event indicating that an ACK is overdue and triggers a loss probe packet. The PTO value is set to max(2*SRTT, 10ms) and is adjusted to account for delayed ACK timer when there is only one oustanding packet. TLP Algorithm On transmission of new data in Open state: -> packets_out > 1: schedule PTO in max(2*SRTT, 10ms). -> packets_out == 1: schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms) -> PTO = min(PTO, RTO) Conditions for scheduling PTO: -> Connection is in Open state. -> Connection is either cwnd limited or no new data to send. -> Number of probes per tail loss episode is limited to one. -> Connection is SACK enabled. When PTO fires: new_segment_exists: -> transmit new segment. -> packets_out++. cwnd remains same. no_new_packet: -> retransmit the last segment. Its ACK triggers FACK or early retransmit based recovery. ACK path: -> rearm RTO at start of ACK processing. -> reschedule PTO if need be. In addition, the patch includes a small variation to the Early Retransmit (ER) algorithm, such that ER and TLP together can in principle recover any N-degree of tail loss through fast recovery. TLP is controlled by the same sysctl as ER, tcp_early_retrans sysctl. tcp_early_retrans==0; disables TLP and ER. ==1; enables RFC5827 ER. ==2; delayed ER. ==3; TLP and delayed ER. [DEFAULT] ==4; TLP only. The TLP patch series have been extensively tested on Google Web servers. It is most effective for short Web trasactions, where it reduced RTOs by 15% and improved HTTP response time (average by 6%, 99th percentile by 10%). The transmitted probes account for <0.5% of the overall transmissions.

To free the snapshot buffer, a '0' is written into the snapshot file. To clear the snapshot buffer, any number but a '0' or '1' is written into the snapshot file. But if the file is not allocated it returns -EINVAL error code. This is rather pointless. It is better just to do nothing and return success.

From Gavin Shan and Sathya Perla. 19) Fix TX locking in SFC driver, from Ben Hutchings. 20) Like the VXLAN fix above, when we encap in a TUN device we have to reset the netfilter state.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initialize the mac address buffer with 0 as the driver specific function will probably not fill the whole buffer. In fact, all in-kernel drivers fill only ETH_ALEN of the MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes, i.e. 6 of the 32 possible bytes. Therefore we currently leak 26 bytes of stack memory to userland via the netlink interface. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bridging code discloses heap and stack bytes via the RTM_GETMDB netlink interface and via the notify messages send to group RTNLGRP_MDB afer a successful add/del. Fix both cases by initializing all unset members/padding bytes with memset(0).

| | * | tg3: Update link_up flag for phylib devicesNithin Sujir2013-03-081-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f4a46d1f46a8fece34edd2023e054072b02e110d introduced a bug where the ifconfig stats would remain 0 for phylib devices. This is due to tp->link_up flag never becoming true causing tg3_periodic_fetch_stats() to return. The link_up flag was being updated in tg3_test_and_report_link_chg() after setting up the phy. This function however, is not called for phylib devices since the driver does not do the phy setup. This patch moves the link_up flag update into the common tg3_link_report() function that gets called for phylib devices as well for non phylib devices when the link state changes. To avoid updating link_up twice, we replace tg3_carrier_...() calls that are followed by tg3_link_report(), with netif_carrier_...(). We can then remove the unused tg3_carrier_on() function.
