2005-09-29[TCP]: Don't over-clamp window in tcp_clamp_window()Alexey Kuznetsov
From: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Handle better the case where the sender sends full sized frames initially, then moves to a mode where it trickles out small amounts of data at a time. This known problem is even mentioned in the comments above tcp_grow_window() in tcp_input.c, specifically: ... * The scheme does not work when sender sends good segments opening * window and then starts to feed us spagetti. But it should work * in common situations. Otherwise, we have to rely on queue collapsing. ... When the sender gives full sized frames, the "struct sk_buff" overhead from each packet is small. So we'll advertize a larger window. If the sender moves to a mode where small segments are sent, this ratio becomes tilted to the other extreme and we start overrunning the socket buffer space. tcp_clamp_window() tries to address this, but it's clamping of tp->window_clamp is a wee bit too aggressive for this particular case. Fix confirmed by Ion Badulescu. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-29[TCP]: Revert 6b251858d377196b8cea20e65cae60f584a42735David S. Miller
But retain the comment fix. Alexey Kuznetsov has explained the situation as follows: -------------------- I think the fix is incorrect. Look, the RFC function init_cwnd(mss) is not continuous: f.e. for mss=1095 it needs initial window 1095*4, but for mss=1096 it is 1096*3. We do not know exactly what mss sender used for calculations. If we advertised 1096 (and calculate initial window 3*1096), the sender could limit it to some value < 1096 and then it will need window his_mss*4 > 3*1096 to send initial burst. See? So, the honest function for inital rcv_wnd derived from tcp_init_cwnd() is: init_rcv_wnd(mss)= min { init_cwnd(mss1)*mss1 for mss1 <= mss } It is something sort of: if (mss < 1096) return mss*4; if (mss < 1096*2) return 1096*4; return mss*2; (I just scrablled a graph of piece of paper, it is difficult to see or to explain without this) I selected it differently giving more window than it is strictly required. Initial receive window must be large enough to allow sender following to the rfc (or just setting initial cwnd to 2) to send initial burst. But besides that it is arbitrary, so I decided to give slack space of one segment. Actually, the logic was: If mss is low/normal (<=ethernet), set window to receive more than initial burst allowed by rfc under the worst conditions i.e. mss*4. This gives slack space of 1 segment for ethernet frames. For msses slighlty more than ethernet frame, take 3. Try to give slack space of 1 frame again. If mss is huge, force 2*mss. No slack space. Value 1460*3 is really confusing. Minimal one is 1096*2, but besides that it is an arbitrary value. It was meant to be ~4096. 1460*3 is just the magic number from RFC, 1460*3 = 1095*4 is the magic :-), so that I guess hands typed this themselves. -------------------- Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-09-29[PATCH] Fix ppc64 smu driver lockingBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The SMU driver has a small mistake in the locking of the interrupt code, if polled access and interrupt access race, interrupt may take a lock and return without releasing it. This fixes it. With that patch, the driver is rock solid with my experimental thermal control (which bangs it pretty hard) racing with real time clock and cpufreq handling.

2005-09-29[PATCH] x86_64: Fix mce_logMike Waychison
The attempt to fixup the lockless mce log buffer introduced an infinite loop when trying to find a free entry. And: Using rcu_dereference() to load mcelog.next doesn't seem to be sufficient enough to ensure that mcelog.next is loaded each time around the loop in mce_log(). Instead, use an explicit rmb() to ensure that the compiler gets it right. AK: turned the smp_wmbs into true wmbs to make sure they are not reordered by the compiler on UP.

2005-09-29[PATCH] Fix task state testing properly in do_signal_stop()Roland McGrath
Any tests using < TASK_STOPPED or the like are left over from the time when the TASK_ZOMBIE and TASK_DEAD bits were in the same word, and it served to check for "stopped or dead". I think this one in do_signal_stop is the only such case. It has been buggy ever since exit_state was separated, and isn't testing the exit_state value.

2005-09-29[PATCH] fix TASK_STOPPED vs TASK_NONINTERACTIVE interactionOleg Nesterov
do_signal_stop: for_each_thread(t) { if (t->state < TASK_STOPPED) ++sig->group_stop_count; } However, TASK_NONINTERACTIVE > TASK_STOPPED, so this loop will not count TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_NONINTERACTIVE threads. See also wait_task_stopped(), which checks ->state > TASK_STOPPED. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> [ We really probably should always use the appropriate bitmasks to test task states, not do it like this. Using something like #define TASK_RUNNABLE (TASK_RUNNING | TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | \ TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_NONINTERACTIVE) and then doing "if (task->state & TASK_RUNNABLE)" or similar. But the ordering of the task states is historical, and keeping the ordering does make sense regardless. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
