This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.

Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

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.
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.

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.

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.
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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().
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

'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().
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

tcp_write_xmit() uses tcp_current_mss(), but some of it's callers,
namely __tcp_push_pending_frames(), already has this value available
already.

While we're here, fix the "cur_mss" argument to be "unsigned int"
instead of plain "unsigned".

tabbing, and mark the TCP_CLOSE test with unlikely().
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The tcp_cwnd_validate() function should only be invoked
if we actually send some frames, yet __tcp_push_pending_frames()
will always invoke it.  tcp_write_xmit() does the call for us,
so the call here can simply be removed.

Also, tcp_write_xmit() can be marked static.

Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This just moves the code into tcp_output.c, no code logic changes are
made by this patch.

Using this as a baseline, we can begin to untangle the mess of
comparisons for the Nagle test et al.  We will also be able to reduce
all of the redundant computation that occurs when outputting data
packets.
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.

- 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

In 2.6.12 we started dropping the conntrack reference when a packet
leaves the IP layer. This broke connection tracking on a bridge,
because bridge-netfilter defers calling some NF_IP_* hooks to the bridge
layer for locally generated packets going out a bridge, where the
conntrack reference is no longer available. This patch keeps the
reference in this case as a temporary solution, long term we will
remove the defered hook calling. No attempt is made to drop the
reference in the bridge-code when it is no longer needed, tc actions
could already have sent the packet anywhere.

In an smp system, it is possible for an connection timer to expire, calling
ip_vs_conn_expire while the connection table is being flushed, before
ct_write_lock_bh is acquired.

Since the list iterator loop in ip_vs_con_flush releases and re-acquires the
spinlock (even though it doesn't re-enable softirqs), it is possible for the
expiration function to modify the connection list, while it is being traversed
in ip_vs_conn_flush.

The result is that the next pointer gets set to NULL, and subsequently
dereferenced, resulting in an oops.

I think there is a small bug in ipconfig.c in case IPCONFIG_DHCP is set
and dhcp is used.

When a DHCPOFFER is received, ip address is kept until we get DHCPACK.
If no ack is received, ic_dynamic() returns negatively, but leaves the
offered ip address in ic_myaddr.

This makes the main loop in ip_auto_config() break and uses the maybe
incomplete configuration.

Not sure if it's the best way to do, but the following trivial patch
correct this.

I followed Thomas' proposal to see every martian destination as a case
where the ipInAddrErrors counter has to be incremented. There are
two advantages by doing so: (1) The relation between the ipInReceive
counter and all the other ipInXXX counters is more accurate in the
case the RTN_UNICAST code check fails and (2) it makes the code in
ip_route_input_slow easier.
