After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being
bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO
packets.

One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic
relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having
big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create
micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the
buffering amount.

This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates
the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so
that we try to send one packet every ms.

This field could be set by other transports.

Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets
makes sense to reach line rate.

For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking.

This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments.

A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the
minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2).

A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using
sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing.

This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current
rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up.

sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt

v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on
initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take
into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs

xen-netback: switch to NAPI + kthread 1:1 model

This series implements NAPI + kthread 1:1 model for Xen netback.

This model
 - provides better scheduling fairness among vifs
 - is prerequisite for implementing multiqueue for Xen network driver

The second patch has the real meat:
 - make use of NAPI to mitigate interrupt
 - kthreads are not bound to CPUs any more, so that we can take
   advantage of backend scheduler and trust it to do the right thing

Benchmark is done on a Dell T3400 workstation with 4 cores, running 4
DomUs. Netserver runs in Dom0. DomUs do netperf to Dom0 with
following command: /root/netperf -H Dom0 -fm -l120

IRQs are distributed to 4 cores by hand in the new model, while in the
old model vifs are automatically distributed to 4 kthreads.

* New model
%Cpu0  :  0.5 us, 20.3 sy,  0.0 ni, 28.9 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi, 24.4 si, 25.9 st

Throughputs: 2027.89 2025.95 2018.57 2016.23 aggregated: 8088.64

* Old model
%Cpu0  :  0.5 us, 68.8 sy,  0.0 ni, 16.1 id,  0.5 wa,  0.0 hi,  2.8 si, 11.5 st
%Cpu1  :  0.4 us, 45.1 sy,  0.0 ni, 31.1 id,  0.4 wa,  0.0 hi,  2.1 si, 20.9 st
%Cpu2  :  0.9 us, 44.8 sy,  0.0 ni, 30.9 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  1.3 si, 22.2 st
%Cpu3  :  0.8 us, 46.4 sy,  0.0 ni, 28.3 id,  1.3 wa,  0.0 hi,  2.1 si, 21.1 st
Throughputs: 1899.14 2280.43 1963.33 1893.47 aggregated: 8036.37

We can see that the impact is mainly on CPU usage. The new model moves
processing from kthread to NAPI (software interrupt).

Add a SYNPROXY for netfilter. The code is split into two parts, the synproxy
core with common functions and an address family specific target.

The SYNPROXY receives the connection request from the client, responds with
a SYN/ACK containing a SYN cookie and announcing a zero window and checks
whether the final ACK from the client contains a valid cookie.

It then establishes a connection to the original destination and, if
successful, sends a window update to the client with the window size
announced by the server.

Support for timestamps, SACK, window scaling and MSS options can be
statically configured as target parameters if the features of the server
are known. If timestamps are used, the timestamp value sent back to
the client in the SYN/ACK will be different from the real timestamp of
the server. In order to now break PAWS, the timestamps are translated in
the direction server->client.

As reported by Casper Gripenberg, in a bridged setup, using ip[6]t_REJECT
with the tcp-reset option sends out reset packets with the src MAC address
of the local bridge interface, instead of the MAC address of the intended
destination.  This causes some routers/firewalls to drop the reset packet
as it appears to be spoofed.  Fix this by bypassing ip[6]_local_out and
setting the MAC of the sender in the tcp reset packet.
