d792c1006f tcp: provide more information on the tcp receive_queue bugs
The addition of rcv_nxt allows to discern whether the skb
was out of place or tp->copied. Also catch fancy combination
of flags if necessary (sadly we might miss the actual causer
flags as it might have already returned).

Btw, we perhaps would want to forward copied_seq in
somewhere or otherwise we might have some nice loop with
WARN stuff within but where to do that safely I don't
know at this stage until more is known (but it is not
made significantly worse by this patch).

c62f4c453a net: use WARN() for the WARN_ON in commit b6b39e8f3f
Commit b6b39e8f3f (tcp: Try to catch MSG_PEEK bug) added a printk()
to the WARN_ON() that's in tcp.c. This patch changes this combination
to WARN(); the advantage of WARN() is that the printk message shows up
inside the message, so that kerneloops.org will collect the message.

In addition, this gets rid of an extra if() statement.

42324c6270 net: splice() from tcp to pipe should take into account O_NONBLOCK
tcp_splice_read() doesnt take into account socket's O_NONBLOCK flag

Before this patch :

splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE);
causes a random endless block (if pipe is full) and
splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK);
will return 0 immediately if the TCP buffer is empty.

User application has no way to instruct splice() that socket should be in blocking mode
but pipe in nonblock more.

Many projects cannot use splice(tcp -> pipe) because of this flaw.

http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=history;f=source3/lib/recvfile.c;h=ea0159642137390a0f7e57a123684e6e63e47581;hb=HEAD
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0807.2/0687.html

Linus introduced  SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK in commit 29e350944f
(splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag )

  It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the
  actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they
  have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations
  nonblocking.

Linus intention was clear : let SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK control the splice pipe mode only

This patch instruct tcp_splice_read() to use the underlying file O_NONBLOCK
flag, as other socket operations do.

Users will then call :

splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK );

to block on data coming from socket (if file is in blocking mode),
and not block on pipe output (to avoid deadlock)

Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical
pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount
of) non-RAM pages.  The amount of what actually is usable as storage
should instead be used as a basis here.

Some of the calculations (i.e.  those not intending to use high memory)
should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

aa1330766c tcp: replace hard coded GFP_KERNEL with sk_allocation
This fixed a lockdep warning which appeared when doing stress
memory tests over NFS:

	inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.

	page reclaim => nfs_writepage => tcp_sendmsg => lock sk_lock

	mount_root => nfs_root_data => tcp_close => lock sk_lock =>
			tcp_send_fin => alloc_skb_fclone => page reclaim

David raised a concern that if the allocation fails in tcp_send_fin(), and it's
GFP_ATOMIC, we are going to yield() (which sleeps) and loop endlessly waiting
for the allocation to succeed.

But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks
weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could
loop endlessly under memory pressure.

a57de0b433 net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacks
Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.

Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.

CPU1                         CPU2

sys_select                   receive packet
  ...                        ...
  __add_wait_queue           update tp->rcv_nxt
  ...                        ...
  tp->rcv_nxt check          sock_def_readable
  ...                        {
  schedule                      ...
                                if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
                                        wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
                                ...
                             }

If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.

Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.

The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side.  The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.

Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited:
	net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c
	net/irda/af_irda.c
	net/irda/irnet/irnet_ppp.c
	net/mac80211/rc80211_pid_debugfs.c

6828b92bd2 tcp: Do not tack on TSO data to non-TSO packet
If a socket starts out on a non-TSO route, and then switches to
a TSO route, then we will tack on data to the tail of the tx queue
even if it started out life as non-TSO.  This is suboptimal because
all of it will then be copied and checksummed unnecessarily.

This patch fixes this by ensuring that skb->ip_summed is set to
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL before appending extra data beyond the MSS.

afece1c658 tcp: make sure xmit goal size never becomes zero
It's not too likely to happen, would basically require crafted

It seems that nothing that bad would happen as there's tcp_mems

hurting all too much (I'm not that sure what all those zero
sized segments we would generate do though in write queue).
Preventing it regardless is certainly the best way to go.

so slice the function in two. Also, the only users of the

so there's no need to store that variable into tcp_sock
at all! The drop of xmit_goal_size currently leaves 16-bit
hole and some reorganization would again be necessary to
change that (but I'm aiming to fill that hole with u16
xmit_goal_size_segs to cache the results of the remaining
divide to get that tso on regression).

86911732d3 gro: Avoid copying headers of unmerged packets
Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best.  The fraginfo
interface turned out to be suboptimal.  The problem was quite
obvious.  For every packet, we have to copy the headers from
the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the
packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge.

LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers
from the frags structure.

This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface
that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without
having to copy it.  Because all drivers that use frags place the
headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough.

9fa5fdf291 tcp: Fix length tcp_splice_data_recv passes to skb_splice_bits.
tcp_splice_data_recv has two lengths to consider: the len parameter it
gets from tcp_read_sock, which specifies the amount of data in the skb,
and rd_desc->count, which is the amount of data the splice caller still
wants.  Currently it passes just the latter to skb_splice_bits, which then
splices min(rd_desc->count, skb->len - offset) bytes.

Most of the time this is fine, except when the skb contains urgent data.
In that case len goes only up to the urgent byte and is less than
skb->len - offset.  By ignoring len tcp_splice_data_recv may a) splice
data tcp_read_sock told it not to, b) return to tcp_read_sock a value > len.

Now, tcp_read_sock doesn't handle used > len and leaves the socket in a
bad state (both sk_receive_queue and copied_seq are bad at that point)
resulting in duplicated data and corruption.

Fix by passing min(rd_desc->count, len) to skb_splice_bits.

33966dd0e2 tcp: splice as many packets as possible at once
As spotted by Willy Tarreau, current splice() from tcp socket to pipe is not
optimal. It processes at most one segment per call.
This results in low performance and very high overhead due to syscall rate
when splicing from interfaces which do not support LRO.

Willy provided a patch inside tcp_splice_read(), but a better fix
is to let tcp_read_sock() process as many segments as possible, so
that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() and tcp_cleanup_rbuf() are called less
often.

With this change, splice() behaves like tcp_recvmsg(), being able
to consume many skbs in one system call. With typical 1460 bytes
of payload per frame, that means splice(SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) can return
16*1460 = 23360 bytes.

684f217601 tcp6: Add GRO support
This patch adds GRO support for TCP over IPv6.  The code is exactly
the same as the IPv4 version except for the pseudo-header checksum
computation.

Note that I've removed the unused tcphdr argument from tcp_v6_check
rather than invent a bogus value for GRO.

6f49a57aa5 dmaengine: up-level reference counting to the module level
Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine
modules from being removed.  Once the clients are done re-enable module
removal.

Why?, beyond reducing complication:
1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as
   is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line
   bouncing effects.
2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a
   dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or
   dma-slave)
3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but
   if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify
   clients of remove events.  The driver can simply return NULL to a
   ->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

7945cc6464 tcp: Kill extraneous SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK checks.
In splice TCP receive, the SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag is used
to compute the "timeo" value.  So checking it again inside
of the main receive loop to trigger -EAGAIN processing is
entirely unnecessary.

Noticed by Jarek P. and Lennert Buytenhek.

4f7d54f59b tcp: don't mask EOF and socket errors on nonblocking splice receive
Currently, setting SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK on splice from a TCP socket
results in masking of EOF (RDHUP) and error conditions on the socket
by an -EAGAIN return.  Move the NONBLOCK check in tcp_splice_read()
to be after the EOF and error checks to fix this.

b530256d2e gro: Use gso_size to store MSS
In order to allow GRO packets without frag_list at all, we need to
store the MSS in the packet itself.  The obvious place is gso_size.
The only thing to watch out for is if the packet ends up not being
GRO then we need to clear gso_size before pushing the packet into
the stack.

eb4dea5853 net: Fix percpu counters deadlock
When we converted the protocol atomic counters such as the orphan
count and the total socket count deadlocks were introduced due to
the mismatch in BH status of the spots that used the percpu counter
operations.

Based on the diagnosis and patch by Peter Zijlstra, this patch
fixes these issues by disabling BH where we may be in process
context.

bf296b125b tcp: Add GRO support
This patch adds the TCP-specific portion of GRO.  The criterion for
merging is extremely strict (the TCP header must match exactly apart
from the checksum) so as to allow refragmentation.  Otherwise this
is pretty much identical to LRO, except that we support the merging
of ECN packets.

3ab5aee7fe net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls
RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure :
- sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the
  price of call_rcu() at freeing time.
- hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers.

This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established
and timewait sockets.

Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications
using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting
rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case.

__inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to
dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock)

Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU
(bind table and listen table are still using traditional locking)

Vito Caputo noticed that tcp_recvmsg() returns immediately from
partial reads when MSG_PEEK is used.  In particular, this means that
SO_RCVLOWAT is not respected.

Simply remove the test.  And this matches the behavior of several
other systems, including BSD.

33f5f57eeb tcp: kill pointless urg_mode
It all started from me noticing that this urgent check in
tcp_clean_rtx_queue is unnecessarily inside the loop. Then
I took a longer look to it and found out that the users of
urg_mode can trivially do without, well almost, there was
one gotcha.

Bonus: those funny people who use urg with >= 2^31 write_seq -
snd_una could now rejoice too (that's the only purpose for the
between being there, otherwise a simple compare would have done
the thing). Not that I assume that the rest of the tcp code
happily lives with such mind-boggling numbers :-). Alas, it
turned out to be impossible to set wmem to such numbers anyway,
yes I really tried a big sendfile after setting some wmem but
nothing happened :-). ...Tcp_wmem is int and so is sk_sndbuf...
So I hacked a bit variable to long and found out that it seems
to work... :-)
