Eric Dumazet ee09b3c1cf sfq: fix sfq class stats handling
sfq_walk() runs without qdisc lock. By the time it selects a non empty
hash slot and sfq_dump_class_stats() is run (with lock held), slot might
have been freed : We then access q->slots[SFQ_EMPTY_SLOT], out of
bounds, and crash in slot_queue_walk()

On previous kernels, bug is here but out of bounds qs[SFQ_DEPTH] and
allot[SFQ_DEPTH] are located in struct sfq_sched_data, so no illegal
memory access happens, only possibly wrong data reported to user.

Also, slot_dequeue_tail() should make sure slot skb chain is correctly
terminated, or sfq_dump_class_stats() can access freed skbs.

Eric Dumazet 12b16dadbc filter: optimize accesses to ancillary data
We can translate pseudo load instructions at filter check time to
dedicated instructions to speed up filtering and avoid one switch().
libpcap currently uses SKF_AD_PROTOCOL, but custom filters probably use
other ancillary accesses.

Note : I made the assertion that ancillary data was always accessed with
BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_ABS instructions, not with BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_IND ones
(offset given by K constant, not by K + X register)

On x86_64, this saves a few bytes of text :

[PATCH net-next-2.6] net: timestamp cloned packet in dev_queue_xmit_nit

Now we do one clone of skb if at least one sniffer might take packet,
we also can do the skb timestamping on the clone and let original packet
unchanged.

This is a generalization of commit 8caf153974 (net: sch_netem: Fix an
inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.)

This way, we can have a good idea when packets are delivered to our
stack (tcpdump -i ifb0), while a tcpdump on original device gives
timestamps right before ingressing.

This also speedup our stack, avoiding taking timestamps if not needed.

Nandita Dukkipati 356f039822 TCP: increase default initial receive window.
This patch changes the default initial receive window to 10 mss
(defined constant). The default window is limited to the maximum
of 10*1460 and 2*mss (when mss > 1460).

draft-ietf-tcpm-initcwnd-00 is a proposal to the IETF that recommends
increasing TCP's initial congestion window to 10 mss or about 15KB.
Leading up to this proposal were several large-scale live Internet
experiments with an initial congestion window of 10 mss (IW10), where
we showed that the average latency of HTTP responses improved by
approximately 10%. This was accompanied by a slight increase in
retransmission rate (0.5%), most of which is coming from applications
opening multiple simultaneous connections. To understand the extreme
worst case scenarios, and fairness issues (IW10 versus IW3), we further
conducted controlled testbed experiments. We came away finding minimal
negative impact even under low link bandwidths (dial-ups) and small
buffers.  These results are extremely encouraging to adopting IW10.

However, an initial congestion window of 10 mss is useless unless a TCP
receiver advertises an initial receive window of at least 10 mss.
Fortunately, in the large-scale Internet experiments we found that most
widely used operating systems advertised large initial receive windows
of 64KB, allowing us to experiment with a wide range of initial
congestion windows. Linux systems were among the few exceptions that
advertised a small receive window of 6KB. The purpose of this patch is
to fix this shortcoming.

Here is a respin of patch.

packets as well.

[PATCH v3 net-next-2.6] net_sched: sch_sfq: better struct layouts

This patch shrinks sizeof(struct sfq_sched_data)
from 0x14f8 (or more if spinlocks are bigger) to 0x1180 bytes, and
reduce text size as well.

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   4821     152       0    4973    136d old/net/sched/sch_sfq.o
   4627     136       0    4763    129b new/net/sched/sch_sfq.o

All data for a slot/flow is now grouped in a compact and cache friendly
structure, instead of being spreaded in many different points.

struct sfq_slot {
        struct sk_buff  *skblist_next;
        struct sk_buff  *skblist_prev;
        sfq_index       qlen; /* number of skbs in skblist */
        sfq_index       next; /* next slot in sfq chain */
        struct sfq_head dep; /* anchor in dep[] chains */
        unsigned short  hash; /* hash value (index in ht[]) */
        short           allot; /* credit for this slot */

Eric Dumazet aa3e219997 net_sched: sch_sfq: fix allot handling
When deploying SFQ/IFB here at work, I found the allot management was
pretty wrong in sfq, even changing allot from short to int...

We should init allot for each new flow, not using a previous value found
in slot.

Before patch, I saw bursts of several packets per flow, apparently
denying the default "quantum 1514" limit I had on my SFQ class.

class sfq 11:1 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 7p requeues 0 
 allot 11546 

class sfq 11:46 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 1p requeues 0 
 allot -23873 

class sfq 11:78 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 5p requeues 0 
 allot 11393 

After patch, better fairness among each flow, allot limit being

Eric Dumazet c426626324 net_sched: sch_sfq: add backlog info in sfq_dump_class_stats()
We currently return for each active SFQ slot the number of packets in
queue. We can also give number of bytes accounted for these packets.

tc -s class show dev ifb0

Before patch :

class sfq 11:3d9 parent 11:
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 backlog 0b 3p requeues 0

After patch :

class sfq 11:3e4 parent 11:
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 backlog 4380b 3p requeues 0
 allot 1212

John W. Linville 3d986b25b5 rtlwifi: use alloc_workqueue
create_workqueue is deprecated.  The workqueue usage does not seem to
demand any special treatment, so do not set any flags either.

Felix Fietkau d4d5dc3d6f ath9k: do not limit the chainmask to 1 for legacy mode
Restricting the chainmask to 1 for legacy mode disables useful features
such as MRC, and it reduces the available transmit power.
I can't think of a good reason to do this in legacy mode, so let's just
get rid of that code.

Felix Fietkau f1a8abb045 ath9k_hw: fix PA predistortion HT40 mask
The commit 'ath9k_hw: Disable PAPRD for rates with low Tx power' changed
the code that sets the PAPRD rate masks to use only either the HT20 mask
or the HT40 mask. This is wrong, as the hardware can still use HT20 rates
even when configured for HT40, and the operating channel mode does not
affect PAPRD operation.
The register for the HT40 rate mask is applied as a mask on top of the
other registers to selectively disable PAPRD for specific rates on HT40
packets only.
This patch changes the code back to the old behavior which matches the
intended use of these registers. While with current cards this should not
make any practical difference (according to Atheros, the HT20 and HT40
mask should always be equal), it is more correct that way, and maybe
the HT40 mask will be used for some rare corner cases in the future.

Felix Fietkau f8a0a78148 mac80211: fix potentially redundant skb data copying
When an skb is shared, it needs to be duplicated, along with its data buffer.
If the skb does not have enough headroom, using skb_copy might cause the data
buffer to be copied twice (once by skb_copy and once by pskb_expand_head).
Fix this by using skb_clone initially and letting ieee80211_skb_resize sort
out the rest.

Felix Fietkau 4cd06a344d mac80211: skip unnecessary pskb_expand_head calls
If the skb is not cloned and we don't need any extra headroom, there
is no point in reallocating the skb head.
