908a75c17a [TCP]: Never TSO defer under periods of congestion.
Congestion window recover after loss depends upon the fact
that if we have a full MSS sized frame at the head of the
send queue, we will send it.  TSO deferral can defeat the
ACK clocking necessary to exit cleanly from recovery.

63d886c96b [PKT_SCHED]: Blackhole queueing discipline
Useful in combination with classful qdiscs to drop or
temporary disable certain flows, e.g. one could block
specific ds flows with dsmark.

Unlike the noop qdisc it can be controlled by the user and
statistic accounting is done.

c1b4a7e695 [TCP]: Move to new TSO segmenting scheme.
Make TSO segment transmit size decisions at send time not earlier.

The basic scheme is that we try to build as large a TSO frame as
possible when pulling in the user data, but the size of the TSO frame
output to the card is determined at transmit time.

This is guided by tp->xmit_size_goal.  It is always set to a multiple
of MSS and tells sendmsg/sendpage how large an SKB to try and build.

Later, tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_push_one() chop up the packet if
necessary and conditions warrant.  These routines can also decide to
"defer" in order to wait for more ACKs to arrive and thus allow larger
TSO frames to be emitted.

A general observation is that TSO elongates the pipe, thus requiring a
larger congestion window and larger buffering especially at the sender
side.  Therefore, it is important that applications 1) get a large
enough socket send buffer (this is accomplished by our dynamic send
buffer expansion code) 2) do large enough writes.

b4e26f5ea0 [TCP]: Fix send-side cpu utiliziation regression.
Only put user data purely to pages when doing TSO.

The extra page allocations cause two problems:

1) Add the overhead of the page allocations themselves.
2) Make us do small user copies when we get to the end
   of the TCP socket cache page.

It is still beneficial to purely use pages for TSO,
so we will do it for that case.

aa93466bdf [TCP]: Eliminate redundant computations in tcp_write_xmit().
tcp_snd_test() is run for every packet output by a single
call to tcp_write_xmit(), but this is not necessary.

For one, the congestion window space needs to only be
calculated one time, then used throughout the duration
of the loop.

This cleanup also makes experimenting with different TSO
packetization schemes much easier.

7f4dd0a943 [TCP]: Break out tcp_snd_test() into it's constituent parts.
tcp_snd_test() does several different things, use inline
functions to express this more clearly.

1) It initializes the TSO count of SKB, if necessary.
2) It performs the Nagle test.
3) It makes sure the congestion window is adhered to.
4) It makes sure SKB fits into the send window.

This cleanup also sets things up so that things like the
available packets in the congestion window does not need
to be calculated multiple times by packet sending loops
such as tcp_write_xmit().

55c97f3e99 [TCP]: Fix __tcp_push_pending_frames() 'nonagle' handling.
'nonagle' should be passed to the tcp_snd_test() function
as 'TCP_NAGLE_PUSH' if we are checking an SKB not at the
tail of the write_queue.  This is because Nagle does not
apply to such frames since we cannot possibly tack more
data onto them.

However, while doing this __tcp_push_pending_frames() makes
all of the packets in the write_queue use this modified
'nonagle' value.

Fix the bug and simplify this function by just calling
tcp_write_xmit() directly if sk_send_head is non-NULL.

As a result, we can now make tcp_data_snd_check() just call
tcp_push_pending_frames() instead of the specialized
__tcp_data_snd_check().

The tcp_cwnd_validate() function should only be invoked

fc6415bcb0 [TCP]: Fix quick-ack decrementing with TSO.
On each packet output, we call tcp_dec_quickack_mode()
if the ACK flag is set.  It drops tp->ack.quick until
it hits zero, at which time we deflate the ATO value.

When doing TSO, we are emitting multiple packets with
ACK set, so we should decrement tp->ack.quick that many
segments.

Note that, unlike this case, tcp_enter_cwr() should not
take the tcp_skb_pcount(skb) into consideration.  That
function, one time, readjusts tp->snd_cwnd and moves
into TCP_CA_CWR state.

c65f7f00c5 [TCP]: Simplify SKB data portion allocation with NETIF_F_SG.
The ideal and most optimal layout for an SKB when doing
scatter-gather is to put all the headers at skb->data, and
all the user data in the page array.

This makes SKB splitting and combining extremely simple,
especially before a packet goes onto the wire the first
time.

So, when sk_stream_alloc_pskb() is given a zero size, make
sure there is no skb_tailroom().  This is achieved by applying
SKB_DATA_ALIGN() to the header length used here.

Next, make select_size() in TCP output segmentation use a
length of zero when NETIF_F_SG is true on the outgoing
interface.

bb1d23b026 [IPV4]: Bug fix in rt_check_expire()
- rt_check_expire() fixes (an overflow occured if size of the hash
  was >= 65536)

reminder of the bugfix:

The rt_check_expire() has a serious problem on machines with large
route caches, and a standard HZ value of 1000.

With default values, ie ip_rt_gc_interval = 60*HZ = 60000 ;

the loop count :

     for (t = ip_rt_gc_interval << rt_hash_log; t >= 0;


overflows (t is a 31 bit value) as soon rt_hash_log is >= 16  (65536
slots in route cache hash table).

In this case, rt_check_expire() does nothing at all

                        if (k < 0) {
...
                        } else {
                                u32 _tmp, *p;
                                p = skb_header_pointer(skb, k, 4, &_tmp);
                                if (p != NULL) {
                                        A = ntohl(*p);
                                        continue;
                                }
                        }

skb_header_pointer checks if the requested data is within the
linear area:

        int hlen = skb_headlen(skb);

        if (offset + len <= hlen)
                return skb->data + offset;

When offset is within [INT_MAX-len+1..INT_MAX] the addition will
result in a negative number which is <= hlen.

I couldn't trigger a crash on my AMD64 with 2GB of memory, but a
coworker tried on his x86 machine and it crashed immediately.

This patch fixes the check in skb_header_pointer to handle large
positive offsets similar to skb_copy_bits. Invalid data can still
be accessed using negative offsets (also similar to skb_copy_bits),
anyone using negative offsets needs to verify them himself.
