* [TCP]: Keep copied_seq, rcv_wup and rcv_next together.Eric Dumazet2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed in oprofile study a cache miss in tcp_rcv_established() to read copied_seq. ffffffff80400a80 <tcp_rcv_established>: /* tcp_rcv_established total: 4034293   2.0400 */  55493  0.0281 :ffffffff80400bc9:   mov    0x4c8(%r12),%eax copied_seq 543103  0.2746 :ffffffff80400bd1:   cmp    0x3e0(%r12),%eax   rcv_nxt     if (tp->copied_seq == tp->rcv_nxt &&         len - tcp_header_len <= tp->ucopy.len) { In this function, the cache line 0x4c0 -> 0x500 is used only for this reading 'copied_seq' field. rcv_wup and copied_seq should be next to rcv_nxt field, to lower number of active cache lines in hot paths. (tcp_rcv_established(), tcp_poll(), ...) As you suggested, I changed tcp_create_openreq_child() so that these fields are changed together, to avoid adding a new store buffer stall.

* [TCP] FRTO: Entry is allowed only during (New)Reno like recoveryIlpo Järvinen2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This interpretation comes from RFC4138: "If the sender implements some loss recovery algorithm other than Reno or NewReno [FHG04], the F-RTO algorithm SHOULD NOT be entered when earlier fast recovery is underway." I think the RFC means to say (especially in the light of Appendix B) that ...recovery is underway (not just fast recovery) or was underway when it was interrupted by an earlier (F-)RTO that hasn't yet been resolved (snd_una has not advanced enough). Thus, my interpretation is that whenever TCP has ever retransmitted other than head, basic version cannot be used because then the order assumptions which are used as FRTO basis do not hold. NewReno has only the head segment retransmitted at a time. Therefore, walk up to the segment that has not been SACKed, if that segment is not retransmitted nor anything before it, we know for sure, that nothing after the non-SACKed segment should be either. This assumption is valid because TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS does not leave holes but each non-SACKed segment is rexmitted in-order. Check for retrans_out > 1 avoids more expensive walk through the skb list, as we can know the result beforehand: F-RTO will not be allowed. SACKed skb can turn into non-SACked only in the extremely rare case of SACK reneging, in this case we might fail to detect retransmissions if there were them for any other than head. To get rid of that feature, whole rexmit queue would have to be walked (always) or FRTO should be prevented when SACK reneging happens. Of course RTO should still trigger after reneging which makes this issue even less likely to show up. And as long as the response is as conservative as it's now, nothing bad happens even then.

In the current kernel, the taskstats structure is not suitable for use by 32 bit applications in a 64 bit kernel.

After subtraction this results in a checksum for the 1st fragment with bits 16..31 set to 1. (this is ok) _AND_ 3) The checksum of the 1st fragment's TCP header plus the previously 32bit checksum of the 1st fragment DOES NOT cause a 32bit overflow when added together. This results in a checksum of the TCP header plus TCP data that still has the upper 16 bits as 1's. _THEN_ 4) The TCP+data checksum is added to the checksum of the pseudo IP header with csum_tcpudp_nofold() incorrectly (the bug). The problem is the checksum of the TCP+data is passed to csum_tcpudp_nofold() as an 32bit unsigned value, however the assembly code acts on it as if it is a 64bit unsigned value. This causes an incorrect 32->64bit extension if the sum has bit 31 set. The resulting checksum is off by one. This problems is data and TCP header dependent due to #2 and #3 above so it doesn't occur on every TCP packet split.

A simple way to exhibit this is to set the DMA timeout to 1 jiffy and run dd: The kernel will panic after a few minutes because ide_timer_expiry() tries to add a timer when it's already active. To fix this, we simply add a request generation count that gets incremented at every interrupt, and check in ide_timer_expiry() that we have not already handled a new interrupt before running the expiry function.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed. The best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt handler.

* [PATCH] remove protection of LANANA-reserved majorsAndrew Morton2007-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert all this. It can cause device-mapper to receive a different major from earlier kernels and it turns out that the Amanda backup program (via GNU tar, apparently) checks major numbers on files when performing incremental backups. Which is a bit broken of Amanda (or tar), but this feature isn't important enough to justify the churn.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AMD dual core laptops with C1E do not run the APIC timer correctly when they go idle. Previously the code assumed this only happened on C2 or deeper. But not all of these systems report support C2. Use a AMD supplied snippet to detect C1E being enabled and then disable local apic timer use. This supercedes an earlier workaround using DMI detection of specific systems. Thanks to Mark Langsdorf for the detection snippet. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
* | [PATCH] Fix microcode-related suspend problemRafael J. Wysocki2007-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode driver to hang during the resume. The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and hangs. It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it from disk. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
