tcp: Reorganize tcp_sock to fill 64-bit holes & improve locality
I tried to group recovery related fields nearby (non-CA_Open related
variables, to be more accurate) so that one to three cachelines would
not be necessary in CA_Open. These are now contiguously deployed:
struct sk_buff_head out_of_order_queue; /* 1968 80 */
/* --- cacheline 32 boundary (2048 bytes) --- */
struct tcp_sack_block duplicate_sack[1]; /* 2048 8 */
struct tcp_sack_block selective_acks[4]; /* 2056 32 */
struct tcp_sack_block recv_sack_cache[4]; /* 2088 32 */
/* --- cacheline 33 boundary (2112 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
struct sk_buff * highest_sack; /* 2120 8 */
int lost_cnt_hint; /* 2128 4 */
int retransmit_cnt_hint; /* 2132 4 */
u32 lost_retrans_low; /* 2136 4 */
u8 reordering; /* 2140 1 */
u8 keepalive_probes; /* 2141 1 */
/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */
u32 prior_ssthresh; /* 2144 4 */
u32 high_seq; /* 2148 4 */
u32 retrans_stamp; /* 2152 4 */
u32 undo_marker; /* 2156 4 */
int undo_retrans; /* 2160 4 */
u32 total_retrans; /* 2164 4 */
...and they're then followed by URG slowpath & keepalive related
variables.
Head of the out_of_order_queue always needed for empty checks, if
that's empty (and TCP is in CA_Open), following ~200 bytes (in 64-bit)
shouldn't be necessary for anything. If only OFO queue exists but TCP
is in CA_Open, selective_acks (and possibly duplicate_sack) are
necessary besides the out_of_order_queue but the rest of the block
again shouldn't be (ie., the other direction had losses).
As the cacheline boundaries depend on many factors in the preceeding
stuff, trying to align considering them doesn't make too much sense.
Commented one ordering hazard.
There are number of low utilized u8/16s that could be combined get 2
bytes less in total so that the hole could be made to vanish (includes
at least ecn_flags, urg_data, urg_mode, frto_counter, nonagle).

causes the MAC address to move from slave to slave as the active

This new option is useful for devices that cannot tolerate
multiple ports using the same MAC address simultaneously, either
because it confuses them or incurs a performance penalty (as is the
case with some LPAR-aware multiport devices). Because the MAC of the

this is to take care of locking issues in a clear manner (particularly to

monitor does not hold RTNL at all, but future changes will require RTNL
during ARP monitor failovers.
Rather than using conditional locking, this patch instead breaks
up the ARP monitor into three discrete steps: inspection, commit changes,
and probe. The inspection phase marks slaves that require link state
changes. The commit phase is only called if inspection detects that
changes are needed, and is called with RTNL. Lastly, the probe phase
issues the ARP probes that the inspection phase uses to determine link
state.

drivers/net/fs_enet: remove null pointer dereference
The following code appears in the function fs_init_instance in the file drivers/net/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c.
if (fep->ops == NULL) {
printk(KERN_ERR DRV_MODULE_NAME
": %s No matching ops found (%d).\n",
ndev->name, fpi->fs_no);
err = -EINVAL;
goto err;
}
This code implies that at the point of err, fep->ops can be NULL, so an
extra test is needed before dereferencing this value.
This problem was found using the following semantic match

uli526x: add support for netpoll
This patch adds netpoll support for the uli526x ethernet driver --
simply call the interrupt handler for polling.
To do this without disable_irq()/enable_irq() pair we should fully
protect the handler. Luckily, it's already using irqsave spinlock,
the only unprotected place is interrupts re-enabling write. It was
safe to re-enable interrupts without holding the spinlock, but with
netpoll possibility now it doesn't seem so.

26a17b7bbb36a8552d531bc1ad08472fb5aa3007
sc92031: start transmit return value bugfix
The padto does not work because the driver code evaluates `len' later on and
there are cases where skb->len is not updated accordingly.
This was observed with ARP frames (skb->len = 42 bytes, !skb_cloned(),
skb_tailroom = 84 bytes). Then in skb_pad(), the first condition is true, where
skb->len is not updated. As a consequence, the driver uses 42 bytes instead of
the 60 bytes, and the ARP frame never makes it onto the wire.

Thanks to Harvey Harrison to introduce the hex_asc_hi/hex_asc_lo helpers.

cassini: Only use chip checksum for ipv4 packets.
According to David Monro, at least with Natsemi Saturn chips the
cassini driver has some trouble with ipv6 checksums.
Until we have more information about what's going on here, only
use the chip checksums for ipv4.
This workaround was suggested and tested by David.
Update version and release date.

tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

tipc: Fix initialization sequence problems when entering network mode
This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration
service are shut down before switching into "network mode". This
ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary
"publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully
initialized for sending off-node messages. Note that the node's
current network address is now updated only after the two services
are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the
topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.
