2011-01-01tipc: Finish streamlining of debugging codeAllan Stephens4-45/+18
Completes the simplification of TIPC's debugging capabilities. By default TIPC includes no debugging code, and any debugging code added by developers that calls the dbg() and dbg_macros() is compiled out. If debugging support is enabled, TIPC prints out some additional data about its internal state when certain abnormal conditions occur, and any developer-added calls to the TIPC debug macros are compiled in.

2011-01-01tipc: Prune down link-specific debugging codeAllan Stephens3-147/+36
Eliminates most link-specific debugging code in TIPC, which is now largely unnecessary. All calls to the link-specific debugging macros have been removed, as are the macros themselves; in addition, the optional allocation of print buffers to hold debugging information for each link endpoint has been removed. The ability for TIPC to print out helpful diagnostic information when link retransmit failures occur has been retained for the time being, as an aid in tracking down the cause of such failures.

Le vendredi 17 décembre 2010 à 10:26 +0100, Eric Dumazet a écrit : > > I think we can add this after latest Changli patch : > > He does one skb_clone() before calling the sniffers. > We could set timestamp on this clone, instead of original skb. > > Problem solved. > [PATCH net-next-2.6] net: timestamp cloned packet in dev_queue_xmit_nit Now we do one clone of skb if at least one sniffer might take packet, we also can do the skb timestamping on the clone and let original packet unchanged. This is a generalization of commit 8caf153974f2 (net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.) This way, we can have a good idea when packets are delivered to our stack (tcpdump -i ifb0), while a tcpdump on original device gives timestamps right before ingressing. This also speedup our stack, avoiding taking timestamps if not needed.

2010-12-20TCP: increase default initial receive window.Nandita Dukkipati1-3/+8
This patch changes the default initial receive window to 10 mss (defined constant). The default window is limited to the maximum of 10*1460 and 2*mss (when mss > 1460). draft-ietf-tcpm-initcwnd-00 is a proposal to the IETF that recommends increasing TCP's initial congestion window to 10 mss or about 15KB. Leading up to this proposal were several large-scale live Internet experiments with an initial congestion window of 10 mss (IW10), where we showed that the average latency of HTTP responses improved by approximately 10%. This was accompanied by a slight increase in retransmission rate (0.5%), most of which is coming from applications opening multiple simultaneous connections. To understand the extreme worst case scenarios, and fairness issues (IW10 versus IW3), we further conducted controlled testbed experiments. We came away finding minimal negative impact even under low link bandwidths (dial-ups) and small buffers. These results are extremely encouraging to adopting IW10. However, an initial congestion window of 10 mss is useless unless a TCP receiver advertises an initial receive window of at least 10 mss. Fortunately, in the large-scale Internet experiments we found that most widely used operating systems advertised large initial receive windows of 64KB, allowing us to experiment with a wide range of initial congestion windows. Linux systems were among the few exceptions that advertised a small receive window of 6KB. The purpose of this patch is to fix this shortcoming. References: 1.

2010-12-20net_sched: sch_sfq: better struct layoutsEric Dumazet1-98/+162
Here is a respin of patch. I'll send a short patch to make SFQ more fair in presence of large packets as well. Thanks [PATCH v3 net-next-2.6] net_sched: sch_sfq: better struct layouts This patch shrinks sizeof(struct sfq_sched_data) from 0x14f8 (or more if spinlocks are bigger) to 0x1180 bytes, and reduce text size as well. text data bss dec hex filename 4821 152 0 4973 136d old/net/sched/sch_sfq.o 4627 136 0 4763 129b new/net/sched/sch_sfq.o All data for a slot/flow is now grouped in a compact and cache friendly structure, instead of being spreaded in many different points. struct sfq_slot { struct sk_buff *skblist_next; struct sk_buff *skblist_prev; sfq_index qlen; /* number of skbs in skblist */ sfq_index next; /* next slot in sfq chain */ struct sfq_head dep; /* anchor in dep[] chains */ unsigned short hash; /* hash value (index in ht[]) */ short allot; /* credit for this slot */ }; Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Cc: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
