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.

eda83e3b63 net_sched: sch_sfq: better struct layouts
Here is a respin of patch.

I'll send a short patch to make SFQ more fair in presence of large
packets as well.

Thanks

[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 */
};

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
respected, allot is positive :

class sfq 11:e parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 86) 
 backlog 0b 3p requeues 86 
 allot 596 

class sfq 11:94 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 3p requeues 0 
 allot 1468 

class sfq 11:a4 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 4p requeues 0 
 allot 650 

class sfq 11:bb parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 3p requeues 0 
 allot 596

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.

61ad539459 mac80211: Remove unused third address from mesh address extension header.
The Mesh Control header only includes 0, 1 or 2 addresses. If there is
one address, it should be interpreted as Address 4.  If there are 2,
they are interpreted as Addresses 5 and 6 (Address 4 being the 4th
address in the 802.11 header).

The address extension used to hold up to 3 addresses instead of the current 2.
I'm not sure which draft version changed this, but it is very unlikely that it
will change again given the state of the approval process of this draft.  See
section 7.1.3.6.3 in current draft (8.0).

Also, note that the extra address that I'm removing was not being used, so this
change has no effect on over-the-air frame formats.  But I thought I better
remove it before someone does start using it.

3942302ea9 sunrpc: svc_sock_names should hold ref to socket being closed.
Currently svc_sock_names calls svc_close_xprt on a svc_sock to
which it does not own a reference.
As soon as svc_close_xprt sets XPT_CLOSE, the socket could be
freed by a separate thread (though this is a very unlikely race).

It is safer to hold a reference while calling svc_close_xprt.

7c96aef759 sunrpc: remove xpt_pool
The xpt_pool field is only used for reporting BUGs.
And it isn't used correctly.

In particular, when it is cleared in svc_xprt_received before
XPT_BUSY is cleared, there is no guarantee that either the
compiler or the CPU might not re-order to two assignments, just
setting xpt_pool to NULL after XPT_BUSY is cleared.

If a different cpu were running svc_xprt_enqueue at this moment,
it might see XPT_BUSY clear and then xpt_pool non-NULL, and
so BUG.

This could be fixed by calling
  smp_mb__before_clear_bit()
before the clear_bit.  However as xpt_pool isn't really used,
it seems safest to simply remove xpt_pool.

Another alternate would be to change the clear_bit to
clear_bit_unlock, and the test_and_set_bit to test_and_set_bit_lock.

d3052b557a ipv6: delete expired route in ip6_pmtu_deliver
The first big packets sent to a "low-MTU" client correctly
triggers the creation of a temporary route containing the reduced MTU.

But after the temporary route has expired, new ICMP6 "packet too big"
will be sent, rt6_pmtu_discovery will find the previous EXPIRED route
check that its mtu isn't bigger then in icmp packet and do nothing
before the temporary route will not deleted by gc.

I make the simple experiment:
while :; do
    time ( dd if=/dev/zero bs=10K count=1 | ssh hostname dd of=/dev/null ) || break;
done

The "time" reports real 0m0.197s if a temporary route isn't expired, but
it reports real 0m52.837s (!!!!) immediately after a temporare route has
expired.

2784fe915c cfg80211: fix null pointer dereference with a custom regulatory request
Once we moved the core regulatory request to the queue and let
the scheduler process it last_request will have been left NULL
until the schedular decides to process the first request. When
this happens and we are loading a driver with a custom regulatory
request like all Atheros drivers we end up with a NULL pointer
dereference. We fix this by checking if the request was a
custom one.

cf4e594ea7 nl80211: Add notification for dropped Deauth/Disassoc
Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected
Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to
management frame protection being in use. This notification is
needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement
SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch
between an AP and STA.

This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP
(IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the
station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not
have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7).
IEEE Std 802.11w-2009, 11.13 describes this recovery mechanism.

bf2695516d SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR decoder API
Now that all client-side XDR decoder routines use xdr_streams, there
should be no need to support the legacy calling sequence [rpc_rqst *,
__be32 *, RPC res *] anywhere.  We can construct an xdr_stream in the
generic RPC code, instead of in each decoder function.

This is a refactoring change.  It should not cause different behavior.

Also, all the client-side encoder functions return 0 now, making a
return value superfluous.  Take this opportunity to convert them to
return void instead.

4129ccf303 SUNRPC: Avoid return code checking in rpcbind XDR encoder functions
Clean up.

The trend in the other XDR encoder functions is to BUG() when encoding
problems occur, since a problem here is always due to a local coding
error.  Then, instead of a status, zero is unconditionally returned.

Update the rpcbind XDR encoders to behave this way.

To finish the update, use the new-style be32_to_cpup() and
cpu_to_be32() macros, and compute the buffer sizes using raw integers
instead of sizeof().  This matches the conventions used in other XDR
functions.
