d551e4541d [TCP] FRTO: RFC4138 allows Nagle override when new data must be sent
This is a corner case where less than MSS sized new data thingie
is awaiting in the send queue. For F-RTO to work correctly, a
new data segment must be sent at certain point or F-RTO cannot
be used at all. RFC4138 allows overriding of Nagle at that
point.

Implementation uses frto_counter states 2 and 3 to distinguish
when Nagle override is needed.

65bb723c95 [TCP]: Update references in two old comments
This updates references to drafts in comments which must be about 10
years old.  Internet draft draft-ietf-tcpimpl-prob-03.txt expired in 1998
and was replaced by RFC 2525 in March 1999.

Section 3.10 of the draft maps almost identically into section 2.17 of RFC
2525: both are entitled "Failure to RST on close with data pending", the
differences in text body amount to a typo and minor sentence change.

9e412ba763 [TCP]: Sed magic converts func(sk, tp, ...) -> func(sk, ...)
This is (mostly) automated change using magic:

sed -e '/struct sock \*sk/ N' -e '/struct sock \*sk/ N'
    -e '/struct sock \*sk/ N' -e '/struct sock \*sk/ N'
    -e 's|struct sock \*sk,[\n\t ]*struct tcp_sock \*tp\([^{]*\n{\n\)|
	  struct sock \*sk\1\tstruct tcp_sock *tp = tcp_sk(sk);\n|g'
    -e 's|struct sock \*sk, struct tcp_sock \*tp|
	  struct sock \*sk|g' -e 's|sk, tp\([^-]\)|sk\1|g'

Fixed four unused variable (tp) warnings that were introduced.

In addition, manually added newlines after local variables and
tweaked function arguments positioning.

3cfe3baaf0 [TCP]: Add two new spurious RTO responses to FRTO
New sysctl tcp_frto_response is added to select amongst these
responses:
	- Rate halving based; reuses CA_CWR state (default)
	- Very conservative; used to be the only one available (=1)
	- Undo cwr; undoes ssthresh and cwnd reductions (=2)

The response with rate halving requires a new parameter to
tcp_enter_cwr because FRTO has already reduced ssthresh and
doing a second reduction there has to be prevented. In addition,
to keep things nice on 80 cols screen, a local variable was
added.

15d33c070d [TCP]: slow_start_after_idle should influence cwnd validation too
For the cases that slow_start_after_idle are meant to deal
with, it is almost a certainty that the congestion window
tests will think the connection is application limited and
we'll thus decrease the cwnd there too.  This defeats the
whole point of setting slow_start_after_idle to zero.

So test it there too.

We do not cancel out the entire tcp_cwnd_validate() function
so that if the sysctl is changed we still have the validation
state maintained.

600ff0c24b [TCP]: Prevent pseudo garbage in SYN's advertized window
TCP may advertize up to 16-bits window in SYN packets (no window
scaling allowed). At the same time, TCP may have rcv_wnd
(32-bits) that does not fit to 16-bits without window scaling
resulting in pseudo garbage into advertized window from the
low-order bits of rcv_wnd. This can happen at least when
mss <= (1<<wscale) (see tcp_select_initial_window). This patch
fixes the handling of SYN advertized windows (compile tested
only).

In worst case (which is unlikely to occur though), the receiver
advertized window could be just couple of bytes. I'm not sure
that such situation would be handled very well at all by the
receiver!? Fortunately, the situation normalizes after the
first non-SYN ACK is received because it has the correct,
scaled window.

Alternatively, tcp_select_initial_window could be changed to
prevent too large rcv_wnd in the first place.

[ tcp_make_synack() has the same bug, and I've added a fix for
  that to this patch -DaveM ]

ae8064ac32 [TCP]: Bound TSO defer time
This patch limits the amount of time you will defer sending a TSO segment
to less than two clock ticks, or the time between two acks, whichever is
longer.

On slow links, deferring causes significant bursts.  See attached plots,
which show RTT through a 1 Mbps link with a 100 ms RTT and ~100 ms queue
for (a) non-TSO, (b) currnet TSO, and (c) patched TSO.  This burstiness
causes significant jitter, tends to overflow queues early (bad for short
queues), and makes delay-based congestion control more difficult.

Deferring by a couple clock ticks I believe will have a relatively small
impact on performance.

bcd7611117 [NET]: Generalise TSO-specific bits from skb_setup_caps
This patch generalises the TSO-specific bits from sk_setup_caps by adding
the sk_gso_type member to struct sock.  This makes sk_setup_caps generic
so that it can be used by TCPv6 or UFO.

The only catch is that whoever uses this must provide a GSO implementation
for their protocol which I think is a fair deal :) For now UFO continues to
live without a GSO implementation which is OK since it doesn't use the sock
caps field at the moment.

b0da853703 [NET]: Add ECN support for TSO
In the current TSO implementation, NETIF_F_TSO and ECN cannot be
turned on together in a TCP connection.  The problem is that most
hardware that supports TSO does not handle CWR correctly if it is set
in the TSO packet.  Correct handling requires CWR to be set in the
first packet only if it is set in the TSO header.

This patch adds the ability to turn on NETIF_F_TSO and ECN using
GSO if necessary to handle TSO packets with CWR set.  Hardware
that handles CWR correctly can turn on NETIF_F_TSO_ECN in the dev->
features flag.

All TSO packets with CWR set will have the SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN set.  If
the output device does not have the NETIF_F_TSO_ECN feature set, GSO
will split the packet up correctly with CWR only set in the first
segment.

With help from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>.

Since ECN can always be enabled with TSO, the SOCK_NO_LARGESEND sock
flag is completely removed.

7967168cef [NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buff
Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP).  So
let's merge them.

They were used to tell the protocol of a packet.  This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field.  This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb.  As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.

I've made gso_type a conjunction.  The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.  All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4.  This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.

f291196979 [TCP]: Avoid skb_pull if possible when trimming head
Trimming the head of an skb by calling skb_pull can cause the packet
to become unaligned if the length pulled is odd.  Since the length is
entirely arbitrary for a FIN packet carrying data, this is actually
quite common.

Unaligned data is not the end of the world, but we should avoid it if
it's easily done.  In this case it is trivial.  Since we're discarding
all of the head data it doesn't matter whether we move skb->data forward
or back.

However, it is still possible to have unaligned skb->data in general.
So network drivers should be prepared to handle it instead of crashing.

This patch also adds an unlikely marking on len < headlen since partial
ACKs on head data are extremely rare in the wild.  As the return value
of __pskb_trim_head is no longer ever NULL that has been removed.

ef5cb9738b [TCP]: Fix truesize underflow
There is a problem with the TSO packet trimming code.  The cause of
this lies in the tcp_fragment() function.

When we allocate a fragment for a completely non-linear packet the
truesize is calculated for a payload length of zero.  This means that
truesize could in fact be less than the real payload length.

When that happens the TSO packet trimming can cause truesize to become
negative.  This in turn can cause sk_forward_alloc to be -n * PAGE_SIZE
which would trigger the warning.

I've copied the code DaveM used in tso_fragment which should work here.

the TCP header and would get confused.

Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default
now.

There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old
stacks

ba244fe900 [TCP]: Fix tcp_tso_should_defer() when limit>=65536
That's >= a full sized TSO frame, so we should always
return 0 in that case.

d83d8461f9 [IP_SOCKGLUE]: Remove most of the tcp specific calls
As DCCP needs to be called in the same spots.

Now we have a member in inet_sock (is_icsk), set at sock creation time from
struct inet_protosw->flags (if INET_PROTOSW_ICSK is set, like for TCP and
DCCP) to see if a struct sock instance is a inet_connection_sock for places
like the ones in ip_sockglue.c (v4 and v6) where we previously were looking if
sk_type was SOCK_STREAM, that is insufficient because we now use the same code
for DCCP, that has sk_type SOCK_DCCP.

dfb4b9dceb [TCP] Vegas: timestamp before clone
We have to store the congestion control timestamp on the SKB before we
clone it, not after.  Else we get no timestamping information at all.

tcp_transmit_skb() has been reworked so that we can do the timestamp
still in one spot, instead of at all the call sites.

Problem discovered, and initial fix, from Tom Young
<tyo@ee.unimelb.edu.au>.

f4805eded7 [TCP]: fix congestion window update when using TSO deferal
TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful.
On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and
50Mbits/sec without TSO.

The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum
number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until 
we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window 
unless we have filled, as per RFC2861.

This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full
with something smarter that accounts for TSO.
