8dd71c5d28 [TCP]: Consider GSO while counting reord in sacktag
Reordering detection fails to take account that the reordered
skb may have pcount larger than 1. In such case the lowest of
them had the largest reordering, the old formula used the
highest of them which is pcount - 1 packets less reordered.

230140cffa [INET]: Remove per bucket rwlock in tcp/dccp ehash table.
As done two years ago on IP route cache table (commit
22c047ccbc) , we can avoid using one
lock per hash bucket for the huge TCP/DCCP hash tables.

On a typical x86_64 platform, this saves about 2MB or 4MB of ram, for
litle performance differences. (we hit a different cache line for the
rwlock, but then the bucket cache line have a better sharing factor
among cpus, since we dirty it less often). For netstat or ss commands
that want a full scan of hash table, we perform fewer memory accesses.

Using a 'small' table of hashed rwlocks should be more than enough to
provide correct SMP concurrency between different buckets, without
using too much memory. Sizing of this table depends on
num_possible_cpus() and various CONFIG settings.

This patch provides some locking abstraction that may ease a future
work using a different model for TCP/DCCP table.

efac52762b [IPVS]: Synchronize closing of Connections
This patch makes the master daemon to sync the connection when it is about
to close.  This makes the connections on the backup to close or timeout
according their state.  Before the sync was performed only if the
connection is in ESTABLISHED state which always made the connections to
timeout in the hard coded 3 minutes. However the Andy Gospodarek's patch
([IPVS]: use proper timeout instead of fixed value) effectively did nothing
more than increasing this to 15 minutes (Established state timeout).  So
this patch makes use of proper timeout since it syncs the connections on
status changes to FIN_WAIT (2min timeout) and CLOSE (10sec timeout).
However if the backup misses CLOSE hopefully it did not miss FIN_WAIT.
Otherwise we will just have to wait for the ESTABLISHED state timeout. As
it is without this patch.  This way the number of the hanging connections
on the backup is kept to minimum. And very few of them will be left to
timeout with a long timeout.

This is important if we want to make use of the fix for the real server
overcommit on master/backup fail-over.

1e356f9cdf [IPVS]: Bind connections on stanby if the destination exists
This patch fixes the problem with node overload on director fail-over.
Given the scenario: 2 nodes each accepting 3 connections at a time and 2
directors, director failover occurs when the nodes are fully loaded (6
connections to the cluster) in this case the new director will assign
another 6 connections to the cluster, If the same real servers exist
there.

The problem turned to be in not binding the inherited connections to
the real servers (destinations) on the backup director. Therefore:
"ipvsadm -l" reports 0 connections:
root@test2:~# ipvsadm -l
IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096)
Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
  -> RemoteAddress:Port           Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn
TCP  test2.local:5999 wlc
  -> node473.local:5999           Route   1000   0          0
  -> node484.local:5999           Route   1000   0          0

while "ipvs -lnc" is right
root@test2:~# ipvsadm -lnc
IPVS connection entries
pro expire state       source             virtual            destination
TCP 14:56  ESTABLISHED 192.168.0.10:39164 192.168.0.222:5999
192.168.0.51:5999
TCP 14:59  ESTABLISHED 192.168.0.10:39165 192.168.0.222:5999
192.168.0.52:5999

So the patch I am sending fixes the problem by binding the received
connections to the appropriate service on the backup director, if it
exists, else the connection will be handled the old way. So if the
master and the backup directors are synchronized in terms of real
services there will be no problem with server over-committing since
new connections will not be created on the nonexistent real services
on the backup. However if the service is created later on the backup,
the binding will be performed when the next connection update is
received. With this patch the inherited connections will show as
inactive on the backup:

root@test2:~# ipvsadm -l

286ab3d460 [NET]: Define infrastructure to keep 'inuse' changes in an efficent SMP/NUMA way.
"struct proto" currently uses an array stats[NR_CPUS] to track change on
'inuse' sockets per protocol.

If NR_CPUS is big, this means we use a big memory area for this.
Moreover, all this memory area is located on a single node on NUMA
machines, increasing memory pressure on the boot node.

In this patch, I tried to :

- Keep a fast !CONFIG_SMP implementation
- Keep a fast CONFIG_SMP implementation for often used protocols
(tcp,udp,raw,...)
- Introduce a NUMA efficient implementation

Some helper macros are defined in include/net/sock.h
These macros take into account CONFIG_SMP

If a "struct proto" is declared without using DEFINE_PROTO_INUSE /
REF_PROTO_INUSE
macros, it will automatically use a default implementation, using a
dynamically allocated percpu zone.
This default implementation will be NUMA efficient, but might use 32/64
bytes per possible cpu
because of current alloc_percpu() implementation.
However it still should be better than previous implementation based on
stats[NR_CPUS] field.

When a "struct proto" is changed to use the new macros, we use a single
static "int" percpu variable,
lowering the memory and cpu costs, still preserving NUMA efficiency.

__sg_mark_end() behaviour where we just set the end bit. That is the most

e56d6cd605 [TCP]: Process DSACKs that reside within a SACK block
DSACK inside another SACK block were missed if start_seq of DSACK
was larger than SACK block's because sorting prioritizes full
processing of the SACK block before DSACK. After SACK block
sorting situation is like this:

             SSSSSSSSS
                  D
                        SSSSSS
                               SSSSSSS

Because write_queue is walked in-order, when the first SACK block
has been processed, TCP is already past the skb for which the
DSACK arrived and we haven't taught it to backtrack (nor should
we), so TCP just continues processing by going to the next SACK
block after the DSACK (if any).

Whenever such DSACK is present, do an embedded checking during
the previous SACK block.

If the DSACK is below snd_una, there won't be overlapping SACK
block, and thus no problem in that case. Also if start_seq of
the DSACK is equal to the actual block, it will be processed
first.

Tested this by using netem to duplicate 15% of packets, and
by printing SACK block when found_dup_sack is true and the 
selected skb in the dup_sack = 1 branch (if taken):

  SACK block 0: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317)
  SACK block 1: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317) 

equal start seqnos => next_dup = 0, dup_sack = 1 won't occur...

  SACK block 0: 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061)
  SACK block 1: 2896-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061)
  DSACK skb match 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una)

...and next_dup = 1 case (after the not shown start_seq sort),
went to dup_sack = 1 branch.

51c739d1f4 [NET]: Fix incorrect sg_mark_end() calls.
This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by

	commit 68e3f5dd4d
	[CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors

The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the
sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry.

The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end().

After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct
solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is
what all of the callers would end up doing anyways.

I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is
the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec().

Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to
__sg_mark_end() as well.

Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't
just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is
what led to these bugs in the first place.

The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable()
and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that
we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h

0ccfe61803 [TCP]: Saner thash_entries default with much memory.
On systems with a very large amount of memory, the heuristics in
alloc_large_system_hash() result in a very large TCP established hash
table: 16 millions of entries for a 128 GB ia64 system. This makes
reading from /proc/net/tcp pretty slow (well over a second) and as a
result netstat is slow on these machines. I know that /proc/net/tcp is
deprecated in favor of tcp_diag, however at the moment netstat only
knows of the former.

I am skeptical that such a large TCP established hash is often needed.
Just because a system has a lot of memory doesn't imply that it will
have several millions of concurrent TCP connections. Thus I believe
that we should put an arbitrary high limit to the size of the TCP
established hash by default. Users who really need a bigger hash can
always use the thash_entries boot parameter to get more.

I propose 2 millions of entries as the arbitrary high limit. This
makes /proc/net/tcp reasonably fast on the system in question (0.2 s)
while being still large enough for me to be confident that network
performance won't suffer.

This is just one way to limit the hash size, there are others; I am not
familiar enough with the TCP code to decide which is best. Thus, I
would welcome the proposals of alternatives.

[ 2 million is still too large, thus I've modified the limit in the
  change to be '512 * 1024'. -DaveM ]

fee9dee730 [UDP]: Make use of inet_iif() when doing socket lookups.
UDP currently uses skb->dev->ifindex which may provide the wrong
information when the socket bound to a specific interface.
This patch makes inet_iif() accessible to UDP and makes UDP use it.

The scenario we are trying to fix is when a client is running on
the same system and the server and both client and server bind to
a non-loopback device.

03cf786c4e [IPV4]: Explicitly call fib_get_table() in fib_frontend.c
In case the "multiple tables" config option is y, the ip_fib_local_table
is not a variable, but a macro, that calls fib_get_table(RT_TABLE_LOCAL).

Some code uses this "variable" *3* times in one place, thus implicitly
making 3 calls. Fix it.

6a5f44d7a0 [IPV4] ip_gre: sendto/recvfrom NBMA address
When GRE tunnel is in NBMA mode, this patch allows an application to use
a PF_PACKET socket to:
- send a packet to specific NBMA address with sendto()
- use recvfrom() to receive packet and check which NBMA address it came from

This is required to implement properly NHRP over GRE tunnel.

ba25f9dcc4 Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks
The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

a25de534f8 [INET]: Justification for local port range robustness.
There is a justifying patch for Stephen's patches. Stephen's patches
disallows using a port range of one single port and brakes the meaning
of the 'remaining' variable, in some places it has different meaning.
My patch gives back the sense of 'remaining' variable. It should mean
how many ports are remaining and nothing else. Also my patch allows
using a single port.

  I sure we must be able to use mentioned port range, this does not
restricted by documentation and does not brake current behavior.

064b5bba0c sysctl: remove broken netfilter binary sysctls
No one has bothered to set strategy routine for the the netfilter sysctls that
return jiffies to be sysctl_jiffies.

So it appears the sys_sysctl path is unused and untested, so this patch
removes the binary sysctl numbers.

Which fixes the netfilter oops in 2.6.23-rc2-mm2 for me.

49641b58a7 sysctl: ipv4 remove binary sysctl paths where they are broken
Currently tcp_available_congestion_control does not even attempt being read
from sys_sysctl, and ipfrag_max_dist while it works allows setting of invalid
values using sys_sysctl.

So just kill the binary sys_sysctl support for these sysctls.  If the support
is not important enough to test and get right it probably isn't important
enough to keep.
