92ee76b6d9 tcp: Make shifting not clear the hints
The earlier version was just very basic one which is "playing
safe" by always clearing the hints. However, clearing of a hint
is extremely costly operation with large windows, so it must be
avoided at all cost whenever possible, there is a way with
shifting too achieve not-clearing.

832d11c5cd tcp: Try to restore large SKBs while SACK processing
During SACK processing, most of the benefits of TSO are eaten by
the SACK blocks that one-by-one fragment SKBs to MSS sized chunks.
Then we're in problems when cleanup work for them has to be done
when a large cumulative ACK comes. Try to return back to pre-split
state already while more and more SACK info gets discovered by
combining newly discovered SACK areas with the previous skb if
that's SACKed as well.

This approach has a number of benefits:

1) The processing overhead is spread more equally over the RTT
2) Write queue has less skbs to process (affect everything
   which has to walk in the queue past the sacked areas)
3) Write queue is consistent whole the time, so no other parts
   of TCP has to be aware of this (this was not the case with
   some other approach that was, well, quite intrusive all
   around).
4) Clean_rtx_queue can release most of the pages using single
   put_page instead of previous PAGE_SIZE/mss+1 calls

In case a hole is fully filled by the new SACK block, we attempt
to combine the next skb too which allows construction of skbs
that are even larger than what tso split them to and it handles
hole per on every nth patterns that often occur during slow start
overshoot pretty nicely. Though this to be really useful also
a retransmission would have to get lost since cumulative ACKs
advance one hole at a time in the most typical case.

TODO: handle upwards only merging. That should be rather easy
when segment is fully sacked but I'm leaving that as future
work item (it won't make very large difference anyway since
this current approach already covers quite a lot of normal
cases).

I was earlier thinking of some sophisticated way of tracking
timestamps of the first and the last segment but later on
realized that it won't be that necessary at all to store the
timestamp of the last segment. The cases that can occur are
basically either:
  1) ambiguous => no sensible measurement can be taken anyway
  2) non-ambiguous is due to reordering => having the timestamp
     of the last segment there is just skewing things more off
     than does some good since the ack got triggered by one of
     the holes (besides some substle issues that would make
     determining right hole/skb even harder problem). Anyway,
     it has nothing to do with this change then.

I choose to route some abnormal looking cases with goto noop,
some could be handled differently (eg., by stopping the
walking at that skb but again). In general, they either
shouldn't happen at all or are rare enough to make no difference
in practice.

In theory this change (as whole) could cause some macroscale
regression (global) because of cache misses that are taken over
the round-trip time but it gets very likely better because of much
less (local) cache misses per other write queue walkers and the
big recovery clearing cumulative ack.

Worth to note that these benefits would be very easy to get also
without TSO/GSO being on as long as the data is in pages so that
we can merge them. Currently I won't let that happen because
DSACK splitting at fragment that would mess up pcounts due to
sk_can_gso in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs. Once DSACKs fragments gets
avoided, we have some conditions that can be made less strict.

TODO: I will probably have to convert the excessive pointer
passing to struct sacktag_state... :-)

My testing revealed that considerable amount of skbs couldn't
be shifted because they were cloned (most likely still awaiting
tx reclaim)...

[The rest is considering future work instead since I got
repeatably EFAULT to tcpdump's recvfrom when I added
pskb_expand_head to deal with clones, so I separated that
into another, later patch]

...To counter that, I gave up on the fifth advantage:

5) When growing previous SACK block, less allocs for new skbs
   are done, basically a new alloc is needed only when new hole
   is detected and when the previous skb runs out of frags space

...which now only happens of if reclaim is fast enough to dispose
the clone before the SACK block comes in (the window is RTT long),
otherwise we'll have to alloc some.

With clones being handled I got these numbers (will be somewhat
worse without that), taken with fine-grained mibs:

4a17fc3add tcp: collapse more than two on retransmission
I always had thought that collapsing up to two at a time was
intentional decision to avoid excessive processing if 1 byte
sized skbs are to be combined for a full mtu, and consecutive
retransmissions would make the size of the retransmittee
double each round anyway, but some recent discussion made me
to understand that was not the case. Thus make collapse work
more and wait less.

It would be possible to take advantage of the shifting
machinery (added in the later patch) in the case of paged
data but that can be implemented on top of this change.

tcp_skb_is_last check is now provided by the loop.

I tested a bit (ss-after-idle-off, fill 4096x4096B xfer,
10s sleep + 4096 x 1byte writes while dropping them for
some a while with netem):

a21bba9454 net: avoid a pair of dst_hold()/dst_release() in ip_push_pending_frames()
We can reduce pressure on dst entry refcount that slowdown UDP transmit
path on SMP machines. This pressure is visible on RTP servers when
delivering content to mediagateways, especially big ones, handling
thousand of streams. Several cpus send UDP frames to the same
destination, hence use the same dst entry.

This patch makes ip_push_pending_frames() steal the refcount its
callers had to take when filling inet->cork.dst.

This doesnt avoid all refcounting, but still gives speedups on SMP,
on UDP/RAW transmit path.

3f0947c3ff pkt_sched: sch_drr: fix drr_dequeue loop()
Jarek Poplawski points out:

If all child qdiscs of sch_drr are non-work-conserving (e.g. sch_tbf)
drr_dequeue() will busy-loop waiting for skbs instead of leaving the
job for a watchdog. Checking for list_empty() in each loop isn't
necessary either, because this can never be true except the first time.

Using non-work-conserving qdiscs as children of DRR makes no sense,
simply bail out in that case.

1f87e235e6 eth: Declare an optimized compare_ether_addr_64bits() function
Linus mentioned we could try to perform long word operations, even
on potentially unaligned addresses, on x86 at least. David mentioned
the HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS test to handle this on all
arches that have efficient unailgned accesses.

I tried this idea and got nice assembly on 32 bits:

158:   33 82 38 01 00 00       xor    0x138(%edx),%eax
15e:   33 8a 34 01 00 00       xor    0x134(%edx),%ecx
164:   c1 e0 10                shl    $0x10,%eax
167:   09 c1                   or     %eax,%ecx
169:   74 0b                   je     176 <eth_type_trans+0x87>

And very nice assembly on 64 bits of course (one xor, one shl)

Nice oprofile improvement in eth_type_trans(), 0.17 % instead of 0.41 %,
expected since we remove 8 instructions on a fast path.

This patch implements a compare_ether_addr_64bits() function, that
uses the CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS ifdef to efficiently
perform the 6 bytes comparison on all capable arches.

c25eb3bfb9 net: Convert TCP/DCCP listening hash tables to use RCU
This is the last step to be able to perform full RCU lookups
in __inet_lookup() : After established/timewait tables, we
add RCU lookups to listening hash table.

The only trick here is that a socket of a given type (TCP ipv4,
TCP ipv6, ...) can now flight between two different tables
(established and listening) during a RCU grace period, so we
must use different 'nulls' end-of-chain values for two tables.

We define a large value :

#define LISTENING_NULLS_BASE (1U << 29)

So that slots in listening table are guaranteed to have different
end-of-chain values than slots in established table. A reader can
still detect it finished its lookup in the right chain.

8c862c23e2 dccp: Header option insertion routine for feature-negotiation
The patch extends existing code:
 * Confirm options divide into the confirmed value plus an optional preference
   list for SP values. Previously only the preference list was echoed for SP
   values, now the confirmed value is added as per RFC 4340, 6.1;
 * length and sanity checks are added to avoid illegal memory (or NULL) access.

02fa460ef5 dccp: Increase the scope of variable-length htonl/ntohl functions
This extends the scope of two available functions,
encode|decode_value_var, to work up to 6 (8) bytes, to match maximum
requirements in the RFC.

These functions are going to be used both by general option processing
and feature negotiation code, hence declarations have been put into
feat.h.

71c262a3dd dccp: API to query the current TX/RX CCID
This provides function to query the current TX/RX CCID dynamically,
without reliance on the minisock value, using dynamic information
available in the currently loaded CCID module.

This query function is then used to
 (a) provide the getsockopt part for getting/setting CCIDs via sockopts;
 (b) replace the current test for "which CCID is in use" in probe.c.

b20a9c24d5 dccp: Set per-connection CCIDs via socket options
With this patch, TX/RX CCIDs can now be changed on a per-connection
basis, which overrides the defaults set by the global sysctl variables
for TX/RX CCIDs.

To make full use of this facility, the remaining patches of this patch
set are needed, which track dependencies and activate negotiated
feature values.

f5f4cf0846 igb: do not use phy ops in ethtool test cleanup for non-copper parts
Currently the igb driver is experiencing a panic due to a null function
pointer being used during the cleanup of the ethtool looback test on
fiber/serdes parts.  This patch prevents that and adds a check prior to
calling any phy function.
