Well I've only found one potential cause for the assertion
failure in tcp_mark_head_lost. First of all, this can only
occur if cnt > 1 since tp->packets_out is never zero here.
If it did hit zero we'd have much bigger problems.
So cnt is equal to fackets_out - reordering. Normally
fackets_out is less than packets_out. The only reason
I've found that might cause fackets_out to exceed packets_out
is if tcp_fragment is called from tcp_retransmit_skb with a
TSO skb and the current MSS is greater than the MSS stored
in the TSO skb. This might occur as the result of an expiring
dst entry.
In that case, packets_out may decrease (line 1380-1381 in
tcp_output.c). However, fackets_out is unchanged which means
that it may in fact exceed packets_out.
Previously tcp_retrans_try_collapse was the only place where
packets_out can go down and it takes care of this by decrementing
fackets_out.
So we should make sure that fackets_out is reduced by an appropriate
amount here as well.

With the introduction of 'rustynat' in 2.6.11, the old tricks of preventing
NAT of 'untracked' connections (e.g. NOTRACK target in 'raw' table) are no
longer sufficient.
The ip_conntrack_untracked.status |= IPS_NAT_DONE_MASK effectively
prevents iteration of the 'nat' table, but doesn't prevent nat_packet()
to be executed. Since nr_manips is gone in 'rustynat', nat_packet() now
implicitly thinks that it has to do NAT on the packet.
This patch fixes that problem by explicitly checking for
ip_conntrack_untracked in ip_nat_fn().

MSS changes can be lost since we preemptively initialize the tso_segs count
for an SKB before we %100 commit to sending it out.
So, by the time we send it out, the tso_size information can be stale due
to PMTU events. This mucks up all of the logic in our send engine, and can
even result in the BUG() triggering in tcp_tso_should_defer().
Another problem we have is that we're storing the tp->mss_cache, not the
SACK block normalized MSS, as the tso_size. That's wrong too.

If a connection tracking helper tells us to expect a connection, and
we're already expecting that connection, we simply free the one they
gave us and return success.
The problem is that NAT helpers (eg. FTP) have to allocate the
expectation first (to see what port is available) then rewrite the
packet. If that rewrite fails, they try to remove the expectation,
but it was freed in ip_conntrack_expect_related.
This is one example of a larger problem: having registered the
expectation, the pointer is no longer ours to use. Reference counting
is needed for ctnetlink anyway, so introduce it now.
To have a single "put" path, we need to grab the reference to the
connection on creation, rather than open-coding it in the caller.

This patch corrects a few problems with the IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP
socket option:
1) The existing code makes an attempt at reference counting joins when
using the ip_mreqn/imr_ifindex interface. Joining the same group
on the same socket is an error, whatever the API. This leads to
unexpected results when mixing ip_mreqn by index with ip_mreqn by
address, ip_mreq, or other API's. For example, ip_mreq followed by
ip_mreqn of the same group will "work" while the same two reversed
will not.
Fixed to always return EADDRINUSE on a duplicate join and
removed the (now unused) reference count in ip_mc_socklist.
2) The group-search list in ip_mc_join_group() is comparing a full
ip_mreqn structure and all of it must match for it to find the
group. This doesn't correctly match a group that was joined with
ip_mreq or ip_mreqn with an address (with or without an index). It
also doesn't match groups that are joined by different addresses on
the same interface. All of these are the same multicast group,
which is identified by group address and interface index.
Fixed the check to correctly match groups so we don't get
duplicate group entries on the ip_mc_socklist.
3) The old code allocates a multicast address before searching for
duplicates requiring it to free in various error cases. This
patch moves the allocate until after the search and
igmp_max_memberships check, so never a need to allocate, then free
an entry.

Congestion window recover after loss depends upon the fact
that if we have a full MSS sized frame at the head of the

ACK clocking necessary to exit cleanly from recovery.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Make TSO segment transmit size decisions at send time not earlier.
The basic scheme is that we try to build as large a TSO frame as
possible when pulling in the user data, but the size of the TSO frame
output to the card is determined at transmit time.
This is guided by tp->xmit_size_goal. It is always set to a multiple
of MSS and tells sendmsg/sendpage how large an SKB to try and build.
Later, tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_push_one() chop up the packet if
necessary and conditions warrant. These routines can also decide to
"defer" in order to wait for more ACKs to arrive and thus allow larger
TSO frames to be emitted.
A general observation is that TSO elongates the pipe, thus requiring a
larger congestion window and larger buffering especially at the sender
side. Therefore, it is important that applications 1) get a large
enough socket send buffer (this is accomplished by our dynamic send
buffer expansion code) 2) do large enough writes.

tcp_snd_test() does several different things, use inline

1) It initializes the TSO count of SKB, if necessary.
2) It performs the Nagle test.
3) It makes sure the congestion window is adhered to.
4) It makes sure SKB fits into the send window.
This cleanup also sets things up so that things like the
available packets in the congestion window does not need
to be calculated multiple times by packet sending loops
such as tcp_write_xmit().

'nonagle' should be passed to the tcp_snd_test() function
as 'TCP_NAGLE_PUSH' if we are checking an SKB not at the
tail of the write_queue. This is because Nagle does not
apply to such frames since we cannot possibly tack more
data onto them.
However, while doing this __tcp_push_pending_frames() makes
all of the packets in the write_queue use this modified
'nonagle' value.
Fix the bug and simplify this function by just calling
tcp_write_xmit() directly if sk_send_head is non-NULL.
As a result, we can now make tcp_data_snd_check() just call
tcp_push_pending_frames() instead of the specialized
__tcp_data_snd_check().

When doing TSO, we are emitting multiple packets with
ACK set, so we should decrement tp->ack.quick that many
segments.

take the tcp_skb_pcount(skb) into consideration. That
