29687512c0 [SCSI] fix up documentation for change in ->queuecommand to lockless calling
The current doc still says we call it with the host lock held, which is
going to cause confusion.

356f039822 TCP: increase default initial receive window.
This patch changes the default initial receive window to 10 mss
(defined constant). The default window is limited to the maximum
of 10*1460 and 2*mss (when mss > 1460).

draft-ietf-tcpm-initcwnd-00 is a proposal to the IETF that recommends
increasing TCP's initial congestion window to 10 mss or about 15KB.
Leading up to this proposal were several large-scale live Internet
experiments with an initial congestion window of 10 mss (IW10), where
we showed that the average latency of HTTP responses improved by
approximately 10%. This was accompanied by a slight increase in
retransmission rate (0.5%), most of which is coming from applications
opening multiple simultaneous connections. To understand the extreme
worst case scenarios, and fairness issues (IW10 versus IW3), we further
conducted controlled testbed experiments. We came away finding minimal
negative impact even under low link bandwidths (dial-ups) and small
buffers.  These results are extremely encouraging to adopting IW10.

However, an initial congestion window of 10 mss is useless unless a TCP
receiver advertises an initial receive window of at least 10 mss.
Fortunately, in the large-scale Internet experiments we found that most
widely used operating systems advertised large initial receive windows
of 64KB, allowing us to experiment with a wide range of initial
congestion windows. Linux systems were among the few exceptions that
advertised a small receive window of 6KB. The purpose of this patch is
to fix this shortcoming.

eda83e3b63 net_sched: sch_sfq: better struct layouts
Here is a respin of patch.

I'll send a short patch to make SFQ more fair in presence of large
packets as well.

Thanks

[PATCH v3 net-next-2.6] net_sched: sch_sfq: better struct layouts

This patch shrinks sizeof(struct sfq_sched_data)
from 0x14f8 (or more if spinlocks are bigger) to 0x1180 bytes, and
reduce text size as well.

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   4821     152       0    4973    136d old/net/sched/sch_sfq.o
   4627     136       0    4763    129b new/net/sched/sch_sfq.o

All data for a slot/flow is now grouped in a compact and cache friendly
structure, instead of being spreaded in many different points.

struct sfq_slot {
        struct sk_buff  *skblist_next;
        struct sk_buff  *skblist_prev;
        sfq_index       qlen; /* number of skbs in skblist */
        sfq_index       next; /* next slot in sfq chain */
        struct sfq_head dep; /* anchor in dep[] chains */
        unsigned short  hash; /* hash value (index in ht[]) */
        short           allot; /* credit for this slot */
};

aa3e219997 net_sched: sch_sfq: fix allot handling
When deploying SFQ/IFB here at work, I found the allot management was
pretty wrong in sfq, even changing allot from short to int...

We should init allot for each new flow, not using a previous value found
in slot.

Before patch, I saw bursts of several packets per flow, apparently
denying the default "quantum 1514" limit I had on my SFQ class.

class sfq 11:1 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 7p requeues 0 
 allot 11546 

class sfq 11:46 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 1p requeues 0 
 allot -23873 

class sfq 11:78 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 5p requeues 0 
 allot 11393 

After patch, better fairness among each flow, allot limit being
respected, allot is positive :

class sfq 11:e parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 86) 
 backlog 0b 3p requeues 86 
 allot 596 

class sfq 11:94 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 3p requeues 0 
 allot 1468 

class sfq 11:a4 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 4p requeues 0 
 allot 650 

class sfq 11:bb parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 3p requeues 0 
 allot 596

f1a8abb045 ath9k_hw: fix PA predistortion HT40 mask
The commit 'ath9k_hw: Disable PAPRD for rates with low Tx power' changed
the code that sets the PAPRD rate masks to use only either the HT20 mask
or the HT40 mask. This is wrong, as the hardware can still use HT20 rates
even when configured for HT40, and the operating channel mode does not
affect PAPRD operation.
The register for the HT40 rate mask is applied as a mask on top of the
other registers to selectively disable PAPRD for specific rates on HT40
packets only.
This patch changes the code back to the old behavior which matches the
intended use of these registers. While with current cards this should not
make any practical difference (according to Atheros, the HT20 and HT40
mask should always be equal), it is more correct that way, and maybe
the HT40 mask will be used for some rare corner cases in the future.

If the skb does not have enough headroom, using skb_copy might cause the data

4b3ba66a47 ath9k: fix queue depth check for forming new aggregates
To improve aggregation length, there should not be more than two fully formed
A-MPDU frames in the hardware queue. To ensure this, the code checks the tx
queue length before forming new A-MPDUs. This can reduce the throughput (or
maybe even starve out A-MPDU traffic) when too many non-aggregated frames are
in the queue.
Fix this by keeping track of pending A-MPDU frames (even when they're sent out
as single frames), but exclude rate control probing frames to improve
performance.

61ad539459 mac80211: Remove unused third address from mesh address extension header.
The Mesh Control header only includes 0, 1 or 2 addresses. If there is
one address, it should be interpreted as Address 4.  If there are 2,
they are interpreted as Addresses 5 and 6 (Address 4 being the 4th
address in the 802.11 header).

The address extension used to hold up to 3 addresses instead of the current 2.
I'm not sure which draft version changed this, but it is very unlikely that it
will change again given the state of the approval process of this draft.  See
section 7.1.3.6.3 in current draft (8.0).

Also, note that the extra address that I'm removing was not being used, so this
change has no effect on over-the-air frame formats.  But I thought I better
remove it before someone does start using it.

c80d545da3 mac80211: Let userspace enable and configure vendor specific path selection.
Userspace will now be allowed to toggle between the default path
selection algorithm (HWMP, implemented in the kernel), and a vendor
specific alternative.  Also in the same patch, allow userspace to add
information elements to mesh beacons.  This is accordance with the
Extensible Path Selection Framework specified in version 7.0 of the
802.11s draft.

b2b7ab22fa hostap: remove netif_stop_queue from init
Fix runtime warning with backtrace from hostap by removing
netif_stop_queue() call before register_netdev. Tested to work fine on
hostap_pci Prism 2.5.

(This removes a warning about calling netif_stop_queue before
register_netdev is called. -- JWL)

9f333281a7 mac80211/rt2x00: add ieee80211_tx_status_ni()
All rt2x00 drivers except rt2800pci call ieee80211_tx_status() from
a workqueue, which causes "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" messages.

To fix it, add ieee80211_tx_status_ni() similar to ieee80211_rx_ni()
which can be called from process context, and call it from
rt2x00lib_txdone().  For the rt2800pci special case a driver
flag is introduced.

914e5cea14 typhoon: memory corruption in typhoon_get_drvinfo()
info->version only has space for 32 characters but my UTS_RELEASE is
"2.6.37-rc6-next-20101217-05817-ge935fc8-dirty" so it doesn't fit.
This is supposed to be the version of the driver, not the kernel
version.  This driver doesn't have a version so lets just leave it
blank.
