This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP. It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout. While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection after the first reordering event. A large scale web server experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”, IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if people think it's a good idea. ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans: 0: Disables ER 1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4. 2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay entering fast recovery by RTT/4. Note: mode 2 is implemented in the third part of this patch series.

Secondary unicast and multicast addresses are added to the Receive Address registers (RAR) for most parts supported by the driver. For 82579, there is only one actual RAR and a number of Shared Receive Address registers (SHRAR) that are shared among the driver and f/w which can be reserved and write-protected by the f/w. On this device, use the SHRARs that are not taken by f/w for the additional addresses. Add a MAC ops function pointer infrastructure (similar to other MAC operations in the driver) for setting RARs, introduce a new rar_set function for 82579 and convert the existing code that sets RARs on other devices to a generic rar_set function.

An update to the EEPROM on 82579 will extend a delay in hardware to fix an issue with WoL not working after a G3->S5 transition which is unrelated to the driver. However, this extended delay conflicts with nominal operation of the device when it is initialized by the driver and after every reset of the hardware (i.e. the driver starts configuring the device before the hardware is done with it's own configuration work). The workaround for when the driver is in control of the device is to tell the hardware after every reset the configuration delay should be the original shorter one. Some pre-existing variables are renamed generically to be re-used with new register accesses.

The reset logic after a Rx FIFO overrun will clear the programmed multicast addresses. This patch fixes the issue by reprogramming the registers after the reset. The commit eefc48b0 ("pch_gbe: reprogram multicast address register on reset") tried to fix this problem, but it introduces unnecessary codes. In fact, all multicast addresses have been saved in netdev->mc, So we can call pch_gbe_set_multi() directly after reset_hw and reset_rx.

TCP coalesce can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a page fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area. We had to disable coalescing in this case, for performance reasons. We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself. This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copies, since a less sk_buff are fetched. This makes receive and ofo queues shorter and thus reduce cache line misses in TCP stack.
