This patch implements Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) for TCP. PRR is an algorithm that determines TCP's sending rate in fast recovery. PRR avoids excessive window reductions and aims for the actual congestion window size at the end of recovery to be as close as possible to the window determined by the congestion control algorithm. PRR also improves accuracy of the amount of data sent during loss recovery. The patch implements the recommended flavor of PRR called PRR-SSRB (Proportional rate reduction with slow start reduction bound) and replaces the existing rate halving algorithm. PRR improves upon the existing Linux fast recovery under a number of conditions including: 1) burst losses where the losses implicitly reduce the amount of outstanding data (pipe) below the ssthresh value selected by the congestion control algorithm and, 2) losses near the end of short flows where application runs out of data to send. As an example, with the existing rate halving implementation a single loss event can cause a connection carrying short Web transactions to go into the slow start mode after the recovery. This is because during recovery Linux pulls the congestion window down to packets_in_flight+1 on every ACK. A short Web response often runs out of new data to send and its pipe reduces to zero by the end of recovery when all its packets are drained from the network. Subsequent HTTP responses using the same connection will have to slow start to raise cwnd to ssthresh. PRR on the other hand aims for the cwnd to be as close as possible to ssthresh by the end of recovery. A description of PRR and a discussion of its performance can be found at the following links: - IETF Draft: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mathis-tcpm-proportional-rate-reduction-01 - IETF Slides: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/80/slides/tcpm-6.pdf http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/81/slides/tcpm-2.pdf - Paper to appear in Internet Measurements Conference (IMC) 2011: Improving TCP Loss Recovery Nandita Dukkipati, Matt Mathis, Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: NNandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

1) Blocks can be configured with non-static frame-size. 2) Read/poll is at a block-level(as opposed to packet-level). 3) Added poll timeout to avoid indefinite user-space wait on idle links. 4) Added user-configurable knobs: 4.1) block::timeout. 4.2) tpkt_hdr::sk_rxhash. Changes: C1) tpacket_rcv() C1.1) packet_current_frame() is replaced by packet_current_rx_frame() The bulk of the processing is then moved in the following chain: packet_current_rx_frame() __packet_lookup_frame_in_block fill_curr_block() or retire_current_block dispatch_next_block or return NULL(queue is plugged/paused) Signed-off-by: NChetan Loke <loke.chetan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

hash_add() returns 0 on success while returns -1 either on error and on entry already present. The caller could use such information to select its behaviour.
