Angelo P. Castellani 5ef814753e [TCP] YeAH-TCP: algorithm implementation
YeAH-TCP is a sender-side high-speed enabled TCP congestion control
algorithm, which uses a mixed loss/delay approach to compute the
congestion window. It's design goals target high efficiency, internal,
RTT and Reno fairness, resilience to link loss while keeping network
elements load as low as possible.

Ilpo Järvinen 4dc2665e36 [TCP]: SACK enhanced FRTO
Implements the SACK-enhanced FRTO given in RFC4138 using the
variant given in Appendix B.

RFC4138, Appendix B:
  "This means that in order to declare timeout spurious, the TCP
   sender must receive an acknowledgment for non-retransmitted
   segment between SND.UNA and RecoveryPoint in algorithm step 3.
   RecoveryPoint is defined in conservative SACK-recovery
   algorithm [RFC3517]"

The basic version of the FRTO algorithm can still be used also
when SACK is enabled. To enabled SACK-enhanced version, tcp_frto
sysctl is set to 2.

Ilpo Järvinen 288035f915 [TCP]: Prevent reordering adjustments during FRTO
To be honest, I'm not too sure how the reord stuff works in the
first place but this seems necessary.

When FRTO has been active, the one and only retransmission could
be unnecessary but the state and sending order might not be what
the sacktag code expects it to be (to work correctly).

Ilpo Järvinen 66e93e45c0 [TCP] FRTO: Fake cwnd for ssthresh callback
TCP without FRTO would be in Loss state with small cwnd. FRTO,
however, leaves cwnd (typically) to a larger value which causes
ssthresh to become too large in case RTO is triggered again
compared to what conventional recovery would do. Because
consecutive RTOs result in only a single ssthresh reduction,
RTO+cumulative ACK+RTO pattern is required to trigger this
event.

A large comment is included for congestion control module writers
trying to figure out what CA_EVENT_FRTO handler should do because
there exists a remote possibility of incompatibility between
FRTO and module defined ssthresh functions.

Ilpo Järvinen d1a54c6a0a [TCP] FRTO: Reverse RETRANS bit clearing logic
Previously RETRANS bits were cleared on the entry to FRTO. We
postpone that into tcp_enter_frto_loss, which is really the
place were the clearing should be done anyway. This allows
simplification of the logic from a clearing loop to the head skb
clearing only.

Besides, the other changes made in the previous patches to
tcp_use_frto made it impossible for the non-SACKed FRTO to be
entered if other than the head has been rexmitted.

With SACK-enhanced FRTO (and Appendix B), however, there can be
a number retransmissions in flight when RTO expires (same thing
could happen before this patchset also with non-SACK FRTO). To
not introduce any jumpiness into the packet counting during FRTO,
instead of clearing RETRANS bits from skbs during entry, do it
later on.

Ilpo Järvinen 46d0de4ed9 [TCP] FRTO: Entry is allowed only during (New)Reno like recovery
This interpretation comes from RFC4138:
    "If the sender implements some loss recovery algorithm other
     than Reno or NewReno [FHG04], the F-RTO algorithm SHOULD
     NOT be entered when earlier fast recovery is underway."

I think the RFC means to say (especially in the light of
Appendix B) that ...recovery is underway (not just fast recovery)
or was underway when it was interrupted by an earlier (F-)RTO
that hasn't yet been resolved (snd_una has not advanced enough).
Thus, my interpretation is that whenever TCP has ever
retransmitted other than head, basic version cannot be used
because then the order assumptions which are used as FRTO basis
do not hold.

NewReno has only the head segment retransmitted at a time.
Therefore, walk up to the segment that has not been SACKed, if
that segment is not retransmitted nor anything before it, we know
for sure, that nothing after the non-SACKed segment should be
either. This assumption is valid because TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS does
not leave holes but each non-SACKed segment is rexmitted
in-order.

Check for retrans_out > 1 avoids more expensive walk through the
skb list, as we can know the result beforehand: F-RTO will not be
allowed.

SACKed skb can turn into non-SACked only in the extremely rare
case of SACK reneging, in this case we might fail to detect
retransmissions if there were them for any other than head. To
get rid of that feature, whole rexmit queue would have to be
walked (always) or FRTO should be prevented when SACK reneging
happens. Of course RTO should still trigger after reneging which
makes this issue even less likely to show up. And as long as the
response is as conservative as it's now, nothing bad happens even
then.

Ilpo Järvinen 52c63f1e86 [TCP]: Don't enter to fast recovery while using FRTO
Because TCP is not in Loss state during FRTO recovery, fast
recovery could be triggered by accident. Non-SACK FRTO is more
robust than not yet included SACK-enhanced version (that can
receiver high number of duplicate ACKs with SACK blocks during
FRTO), at least with unidirectional transfers, but under
extraordinary patterns fast recovery can be incorrectly
triggered, e.g., Data loss+ACK losses => cumulative ACK with
enough SACK blocks to meet sacked_out >= dupthresh condition).

Ilpo Järvinen 95c4922bf9 [TCP] FRTO: fixes fallback to conventional recovery
The FRTO detection did not care how ACK pattern affects to cwnd
calculation of the conventional recovery. This caused incorrect
setting of cwnd when the fallback becames necessary. The
knowledge tcp_process_frto() has about the incoming ACK is now
passed on to tcp_enter_frto_loss() in allowed_segments parameter
that gives the number of segments that must be added to
packets-in-flight while calculating the new cwnd.

Instead of snd_una we use FLAG_DATA_ACKED in duplicate ACK
detection because RFC4138 states (in Section 2.2):
  If the first acknowledgment after the RTO retransmission
  does not acknowledge all of the data that was retransmitted
  in step 1, the TCP sender reverts to the conventional RTO
  recovery.  Otherwise, a malicious receiver acknowledging
  partial segments could cause the sender to declare the
  timeout spurious in a case where data was lost.

If the next ACK after RTO is duplicate, we do not retransmit
anything, which is equal to what conservative conventional
recovery does in such case.

Ilpo Järvinen 7b0eb22b1d [TCP] FRTO: Use Disorder state during operation instead of Open
Retransmission counter assumptions are to be changed. Forcing
reason to do this exist: Using sysctl in check would be racy
as soon as FRTO starts to ignore some ACKs (doing that in the
following patches). Userspace may disable it at any moment
giving nice oops if timing is right. frto_counter would be
inaccessible from userspace, but with SACK enhanced FRTO
retrans_out can include other than head, and possibly leaving
it non-zero after spurious RTO, boom again.

Luckily, solution seems rather simple: never go directly to Open
state but use Disorder instead. This does not really change much,
since TCP could anyway change its state to Disorder during FRTO
using path tcp_fastretrans_alert -> tcp_try_to_open (e.g., when
a SACK block makes ACK dubious). Besides, Disorder seems to be
the state where TCP should be if not recovering (in Recovery or
Loss state) while having some retransmissions in-flight (see
tcp_try_to_open), which is exactly what happens with FRTO.

In case a latency spike causes more than one RTO, the later should not
cause the already reduced ssthresh to propagate into the prior_ssthresh
since FRTO declares all such RTOs spurious at once or none of them. In
treating of ssthresh, we mimic what tcp_enter_loss() does.

The previous state (in frto_counter) must be available until we have
checked it in tcp_enter_frto(), and also ACK information flag in
process_frto().

Trond Myklebust 241c39b9ac RPC: Fix the TCP resend semantics for NFSv4
Fix a regression due to the patch "NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4
requests over TCP"

The assumption made in xprt_transmit() that the condition
	"req->rq_bytes_sent == 0 and request is on the receive list"
should imply that we're dealing with a retransmission is false.
Firstly, it may simply happen that the socket send queue was full
at the time the request was initially sent through xprt_transmit().
Secondly, doing this for each request that was retransmitted implies
that we disconnect and reconnect for _every_ request that happened to
be retransmitted irrespective of whether or not a disconnection has
already occurred.

Fix is to move this logic into the call_status request timeout handler.

Here it is:

netlink_release():              netlink_dump_start():

  ...
}
spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock);

                                spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock);
                                if (nlk->cb) { /* false */
                                         ...

/*

Olaf Kirch bfb6709d0b [IrDA]: Correctly handling socket error
This patch fixes an oops first reported in mid 2006 - see
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/29/358 The cause of this bug report is that
when an error is signalled on the socket, irda_recvmsg_stream returns
without removing a local wait_queue variable from the socket's sk_sleep
queue. This causes havoc further down the road.

In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on
the socket when receiving a disconnect indication. This is not a good fix,
as this sets sk_sleep to NULL, causing applications sleeping in recvmsg
(and other places) to oops.

This is against the latest net-2.6 and should be considered for -stable
inclusion.

Vlad Yasevich d0cf0d9940 [SCTP]: Do not interleave non-fragments when in partial delivery
The way partial delivery is currently implemnted, it is possible to
intereleave a message (either from another steram, or unordered) that
is not part of partial delivery process.  The only way to this is for
a message to not be a fragment and be 'in order' or unorderd for a
given stream.  This will result in bypassing the reassembly/ordering
queues where things live duing partial delivery, and the
message will be delivered to the socket in the middle of partial delivery.

This is a two-fold problem, in that:
1.  the app now must check the stream-id and flags which it may not
be doing.
2.  this clearing partial delivery state from the association and results
in ulp hanging.

This patch is a band-aid over a much bigger problem in that we
don't do stream interleave.

Aubrey.Li 5e7d7fa573 [NET]: Fix UDP checksum issue in net poll mode.
In net poll mode, the current checksum function doesn't consider the
kind of packet which is padded to reach a specific minimum length. I
believe that's the problem causing my test case failed. The following
patch fixed this issue.

David S. Miller 49688c8431 [NETFILTER] arp_tables: Fix unaligned accesses.
There are two device string comparison loops in arp_packet_match().
The first one goes byte-by-byte but the second one tries to be
clever and cast the string to a long and compare by longs.

The device name strings in the arp table entries are not guarenteed
to be aligned enough to make this value, so just use byte-by-byte
for both cases.

Additionally, on this occasion, a packet whose destinaion is

We are using size of security context from xfrm_policy to determine

Jerome Borsboom 279e172a58 [VLAN]: Allow VLAN interface on top of bridge interface
When a VLAN interface is created on top of a bridge interface and 
netfilter is enabled to see the bridged packets, the packets can be 
corrupted when passing through the netfilter code. This is caused by the 
VLAN driver not setting the 'protocol' and 'nh' members of the sk_buff 
structure. In general, this is no problem as the VLAN interface is mostly 
connected to a physical ethernet interface which does not use the 
'protocol' and 'nh' members. For a bridge interface, however, these 
members do matter.

This causes the config to be freed before it is removed from the list,

David S. Miller 15d33c070d [TCP]: slow_start_after_idle should influence cwnd validation too
For the cases that slow_start_after_idle are meant to deal
with, it is almost a certainty that the congestion window
tests will think the connection is application limited and
we'll thus decrease the cwnd there too.  This defeats the
whole point of setting slow_start_after_idle to zero.

So test it there too.

We do not cancel out the entire tcp_cwnd_validate() function
so that if the sysctl is changed we still have the validation
state maintained.

Beet mode looks for the beet pseudo header after the outer IP header,
which is wrong since that is followed by the ESP header. Additionally
it needs to adjust the packet length after removing the pseudo header
