Remove the congestion sensing mechanism from netif_rx, and always
return either full or empty. Almost no driver checks the return value
from netif_rx, and those that do only use it for debug messages.
The original design of netif_rx was to do flow control based on the
receive queue, but NAPI has supplanted this and no driver uses the
feedback.

H-TCP is a congestion control algorithm developed at the Hamilton Institute, by
Douglas Leith and Robert Shorten. It is extending the standard Reno algorithm
with mode switching is thus a relatively simple modification.
H-TCP is defined in a layered manner as it is still a research platform. The
basic form includes the modification of beta according to the ratio of maxRTT
to min RTT and the alpha=2*factor*(1-beta) relation, where factor is dependant
on the time since last congestion.
The other layers improve convergence by adding appropriate factors to alpha.
The following patch implements the H-TCP algorithm in it's basic form.

TCP Hybla congestion avoidance.
- "In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a
terrestrial or satellite radio link are greatly disadvantaged with
respect to entirely wired connections, because of their longer round
trip times (RTTs). To cope with this problem, a new TCP proposal, the
TCP Hybla, is presented and discussed in the paper[1]. It stems from an
analytical evaluation of the congestion window dynamics in the TCP
standard versions (Tahoe, Reno, NewReno), which suggests the necessary
modifications to remove the performance dependence on RTT.[...]"[1]

This patch is a follow up to patch 1 regarding "Selective Sub Address
matching with call user data". It allows use of the Fast-Select-Acceptance
optional user facility for X.25.
This patch just implements fast select with no restriction on response
(NRR). What this means (according to ITU-T Recomendation 10/96 section
6.16) is that if in an incoming call packet, the relevant facility bits are
set for fast-select-NRR, then the called DTE can issue a direct response to
the incoming packet using a call-accepted packet that contains
call-user-data. This patch allows such a response.
The called DTE can also respond with a clear-request packet that contains
call-user-data. However, this feature is currently not implemented by the
patch.
How is Fast Select Acceptance used?
By default, the system does not allow fast select acceptance (as before).
To enable a response to fast select acceptance,
After a listen socket in created and bound as follows
socket(AF_X25, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
bind(call_soc, (struct sockaddr *)&locl_addr, sizeof(locl_addr));
but before a listen system call is made, the following ioctl should be used.
ioctl(call_soc,SIOCX25CALLACCPTAPPRV);
Now the listen system call can be made
listen(call_soc, 4);
After this, an incoming-call packet will be accepted, but no call-accepted
packet will be sent back until the following system call is made on the socket
that accepts the call
ioctl(vc_soc,SIOCX25SENDCALLACCPT);
The network (or cisco xot router used for testing here) will allow the
application server's call-user-data in the call-accepted packet,
provided the call-request was made with Fast-select NRR.

From: Shaun Pereira <spereira@tusc.com.au>
This is the first (independent of the second) patch of two that I am
working on with x25 on linux (tested with xot on a cisco router). Details
are as follows.
Current state of module:
A server using the current implementation (2.6.11.7) of the x25 module will
accept a call request/ incoming call packet at the listening x.25 address,
from all callers to that address, as long as NO call user data is present
in the packet header.
If the server needs to choose to accept a particular call request/ incoming
call packet arriving at its listening x25 address, then the kernel has to
allow a match of call user data present in the call request packet with its
own. This is required when multiple servers listen at the same x25 address
and device interface. The kernel currently matches ALL call user data, if
present.
Current Changes:
This patch is a follow up to the patch submitted previously by Andrew
Hendry, and allows the user to selectively control the number of octets of
call user data in the call request packet, that the kernel will match. By
default no call user data is matched, even if call user data is present.
To allow call user data matching, a cudmatchlength > 0 has to be passed
into the kernel after which the passed number of octets will be matched.
Otherwise the kernel behavior is exactly as the original implementation.
This patch also ensures that as is normally the case, no call user data
will be present in the Call accepted / call connected packet sent back to
the caller
Future Changes on next patch:
There are cases however when call user data may be present in the call
accepted packet. According to the X.25 recommendation (ITU-T 10/96)
section 5.2.3.2 call user data may be present in the call accepted packet
provided the fast select facility is used. My next patch will include this
fast select utility and the ability to send up to 128 octets call user data
in the call accepted packet provided the fast select facility is used. I
am currently testing this, again with xot on linux and cisco.

This patch provides support for registering multiple netpoll clients to the
same network device. Only one of these clients may register an rx_hook,
however. In practice, this restriction has not been problematic. It is
worth mentioning, though, that the current design can be easily extended to
allow for the registration of multiple rx_hooks.
The basic idea of the patch is that the rx_np pointer in the netpoll_info
structure points to the struct netpoll that has rx_hook filled in. Aside
from this one case, there is no need for a pointer from the struct
net_device to an individual struct netpoll.
A lock is introduced to protect the setting and clearing of the np_rx
pointer. The pointer will only be cleared upon netpoll client module
removal, and the lock should be uncontested.

This patch introduces a netpoll_info structure, which the struct net_device
will now point to instead of pointing to a struct netpoll. The reason for
this is two-fold: 1) fields such as the rx_flags, poll_owner, and poll_lock
should be maintained per net_device, not per netpoll; and 2) this is a first
step in providing support for multiple netpoll clients to register against the
same net_device.
The struct netpoll is now pointed to by the netpoll_info structure. As
such, the previous behaviour of the code is preserved.

Here is a simplified version of the patch to fix a bug in IPv6
multicasting. It:
1) adds existence check & EADDRINUSE error for regular joins
2) adds an exception for EADDRINUSE in the source-specific multicast
join (where a prior join is ok)
3) adds a missing/needed read_lock on sock_mc_list; would've raced
with destroying the socket on interface down without
4) adds a "leave group" in the (INCLUDE, empty) source filter case.
This frees unneeded socket buffer memory, but also prevents
an inappropriate interaction among the 8 socket options that
mess with this. Some would fail as if in the group when you
aren't really.
Item #4 had a locking bug in the last version of this patch; rather than
removing the idev->lock read lock only, I've simplified it to remove
all lock state in the path and treat it as a direct "leave group" call for
the (INCLUDE,empty) case it covers. Tested on an MP machine. :-)

To understand the repurcassions of this look at:

While fixing this, i took the liberty to resolve the outstanding issue
of IPV6 routes inserted via ioctls to have the correct pids as well.
This patch tries to behave as close as possible to the v4 routes i.e
maintains whatever PID the socket issuing the command owns as opposed to
the process. That made the patch a little bulky.
I have tested against both netlink derived utility to add/del routes as

This patch adds the flag XFRM_STATE_NOPMTUDISC for xfrm states. It is
similar to the nopmtudisc on IPIP/GRE tunnels. It only has an effect
on IPv4 tunnel mode states. For these states, it will ensure that the

This is primarily useful to work around ICMP blackholes.
In future this flag could also allow a larger MTU to be set within the
tunnel just like IPIP/GRE tunnels. This could be useful for short haul
tunnels where temporary fragmentation outside the tunnel is desired over
smaller fragments inside the tunnel.

This patch changes the type of the third parameter 'length' of the
raw_send_hdrinc() function from 'int' to 'size_t'.
This makes sense since this function is only ever called from one
location, and the value passed as the third parameter in that location is
itself of type size_t, so this makes the recieving functions parameter
type match. Also, inside raw_send_hdrinc() the 'length' variable is
used in comparisons with unsigned values and passed as parameter to
functions expecting unsigned values (it's used in a single comparison with
a signed value, but that one can never actually be negative so the patch
also casts that one to size_t to stop gcc worrying, and it is passed in a
single instance to memcpy_fromiovecend() which expects a signed int, but
as far as I can see that's not a problem since the value of 'length'
shouldn't ever exceed the value of a signed int).

Since 'i' is compared in a loop to the unsigned variable msg->msg_iovlen
gcc -W generates this warning :
net/ipv4/raw.c:340: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
Changing 'i' to unsigned silences this warning and is safe since the array
index can never be negative anyway, so unsigned int is the logical type to

which get it right. Also fixes half a dozen dumpers which did not
set NLM_F_MULTI at all.

Introduces a new macro NLMSG_NEW which extends NLMSG_PUT but takes
a flags argument. NLMSG_PUT stays there for compatibility but now
calls NLMSG_NEW with flags == 0. NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER is renamed to
NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER which now also takes a flags argument.
Also converts the users of NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER to use NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER
and fixes the two direct users of __nlmsg_put to either provide
the flags or use NLMSG_NEW(_ANSWER).

To retrieve the neighbour tables send RTM_GETNEIGHTBL with the
NLM_F_DUMP flag set. Every neighbour table configuration is
spread over multiple messages to avoid running into message
size limits on systems with many interfaces. The first message
in the sequence transports all not device specific data such as
statistics, configuration, and the default parameter set.
This message is followed by 0..n messages carrying device
specific parameter sets.
Although the ordering should be sufficient, NDTA_NAME can be
used to identify sequences. The initial message can be identified
by checking for NDTA_CONFIG. The device specific messages do
not contain this TLV but have NDTPA_IFINDEX set to the
corresponding interface index.
To change neighbour table attributes, send RTM_SETNEIGHTBL
with NDTA_NAME set. Changeable attribute include NDTA_THRESH[1-3],
NDTA_GC_INTERVAL, and all TLVs in NDTA_PARMS unless marked
otherwise. Device specific parameter sets can be changed by
setting NDTPA_IFINDEX to the interface index of the corresponding
device.

This chunks out the accept_queue and tcp_listen_opt code and moves
them to net/core/request_sock.c and include/net/request_sock.h, to
make it useful for other transport protocols, DCCP being the first one
to use it.
Next patches will rename tcp_listen_opt to accept_sock and remove the
inline tcp functions that just call a reqsk_queue_ function.

Ok, this one just renames some stuff to have a better namespace and to
dissassociate it from TCP:
struct open_request -> struct request_sock
tcp_openreq_alloc -> reqsk_alloc
tcp_openreq_free -> reqsk_free
tcp_openreq_fastfree -> __reqsk_free
With this most of the infrastructure closely resembles a struct
sock methods subset.

Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to
ease peer review.
Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn
has two new members:
->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep
->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for
a specific protocol
The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a
class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection
oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones
in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an
open_request.
I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class
hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the
open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an
or_calltable.
Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per
open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-)
Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions
mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it
struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g,
etc.

This introduces a leak when xfrm_state_add()/xfrm_state_update()
fail. We hold two references (one from xfrm_state_alloc(), one
from xfrm_state_hold()), but only drop one. We need to take the
reference because the reference from xfrm_state_alloc() can
be dropped by __xfrm_state_delete(), so the fix is to drop both
references on error. Same problem in xfrm_user.c.

This patch removes XFRM_SAP_* and converts them over to XFRM_MSG_*.
The netlink interface is meant to map directly onto the underlying
xfrm subsystem. Therefore rather than using a new independent
representation for the events we can simply use the existing ones
from xfrm_user.

This patch fixes policy deletion in xfrm_user so that it sets

This patch adjusts the SA state conversion in af_key such that
XFRM_STATE_ERROR/XFRM_STATE_DEAD will be converted to SADB_STATE_DEAD
instead of SADB_STATE_DYING.
According to RFC 2367, SADB_STATE_DYING SAs can be turned into
mature ones through updating their lifetime settings. Since SAs
which are in the states XFRM_STATE_ERROR/XFRM_STATE_DEAD cannot
be resurrected, this value is unsuitable.

This patch ensures that the hard state/policy expire notifications are
only sent when the state/policy is successfully removed from their
respective tables.
As it is, it's possible for a state/policy to both expire through
reaching a hard limit, as well as being deleted by the user.
Note that this behaviour isn't actually forbidden by RFC 2367.
However, it is a quality of implementation issue.
As an added bonus, the restructuring in this patch will help
eventually in moving the expire notifications from softirq
context into process context, thus improving their reliability.
One important side-effect from this change is that SAs reaching
their hard byte/packet limits are now deleted immediately, just
like SAs that have reached their hard time limits.
Previously they were announced immediately but only deleted after
30 seconds.
This is bad because it prevents the system from issuing an ACQUIRE
command until the existing state was deleted by the user or expires
after the time is up.
In the scenario where the expire notification was lost this introduces
a 30 second delay into the system for no good reason.

This is a fixed-up version of the broken "upstream-2.6.13" branch, where
I re-did the manual merge of drivers/net/r8169.c by hand, and made sure
the history is all good.
