Host queues (Qdisc + NIC) can hold packets so long that TCP can
eventually retransmit a packet before the first transmit even left
the host.
Its not clear right now if we could avoid this in the first place :
- We could arm RTO timer not at the time we enqueue packets, but
at the time we TX complete them (tcp_wfree())
- Cancel the sending of the new copy of the packet if prior one
is still in queue.
This patch adds instrumentation so that we can at least see how
often this problem happens.
TCPSpuriousRtxHostQueues SNMP counter is incremented every time
we detect the fast clone is not yet freed in tcp_transmit_skb()

Merge branch 'tipc-ipoib'
Patrick McHardy says:
====================
The following patchset adds support for running TIPC over InfiniBand.
The patchset consists of three parts (+ a minor fix for the ethernet media
type):
- Preparation: removal of an the unused str2addr callback and move of the
bcast_addr from struct tipc_media to struct tipc_bearer. This is necessary
because InfiniBand doesn't have a fixed broadcast address like ethernet,
so it needs to be initialized with the device's broadcast address when
the bearer is enabled
- Introduction of a TIPC InfiniBand media type. A new media type is needed
to deal with the different address sizes
- Support for ETH_P_TIPC in IPoIB
Since the last posting I've addressed all feedback I received and rebased
to the current net-next tree.
I consider these patches ready for merging. Since they mainly affect TIPC
code, I'd propose to have them either go through the TIPC tree or through
Dave directly (not sure how TIPC patches are managed).

IPoIB: add support for TIPC protocol
Support TIPC in the IPoIB driver. Since IPoIB now keeps track of its own
neighbour entries and doesn't require the packet to have a dst_entry
anymore, the only necessary changes are to:
- not drop multicast TIPC packets because of the unknown ethernet type
- handle unicast TIPC packets similar to IPv4/IPv6 unicast packets
in ipoib_start_xmit().
An alternative would be to remove all ethertype limitations since they're
not necessary anymore, all TIPC needs to know about is ARP and RARP since
it wants to always perform "path find", even if a path is already known.

This patch adds the following fields to /proc/net/sctp/assocs output:

- sk->sk_wmem_queued as "wmemq" (persistent queue size)
- sk->sk_sndbuf as "sndbuf" (size of send buffer in bytes)
- sk->sk_rcvbuf as "rcvbuf" (size of receive buffer in bytes)
When small DATA chunks containing 136 bytes data are sent the TX_QUEUE

peer.rwnd = 0. This was diagnosed from sk_wmem_alloc value reaching maximum

However, there are some virtual devices that aggreate a number of lower

vhost_net: remove tx polling state
After commit 2b8b328b61c799957a456a5a8dab8cc7dea68575 (vhost_net: handle polling
errors when setting backend), we in fact track the polling state through
poll->wqh, so there's no need to duplicate the work with an extra
vhost_net_polling_state. So this patch removes this and make the code simpler.
This patch also removes the all tx starting/stopping code in tx path according
to Michael's suggestion.
Netperf test shows almost the same result in stream test, but gets improvements
on TCP_RR tests (both zerocopy or copy) especially on low load cases.

net/mlx4_core: Translate guest B0 steering rules to DMFS
The different steering modes are global to the device, with DMFS
being introduced after SRIOV was merged. Hence, SRIOV guests running
legacy / older Linux kernels or non-Linux drivers may provide
B0 steering directives when the hypervisor is using DMFS and fail.
Under B0 only L2 steering rules are allowed, hence B0 is a subset of DMFS.
Use this fact to enable such legacy guests to run by modifying the SRIOV
B0 steering wrapper to translate guest B0 directives to DMFS ones when
the device uses DMFS. The translated B0 rule has to be kept in the
resource tracker as a B0 object to allow for lookup in case of detach.

usbnet: handle link change
The link change is detected via the interrupt pipe, and bulk
pipes are responsible for transfering packets, so it is reasonable
to stop bulk transfer after link is reported as off.
Two adavantages may be obtained with stopping bulk transfer
after link becomes off:
- USB bus bandwidth is saved(USB bus is shared bus except for
USB3.0), for example, lots of 'IN' token packets and 'NYET'
handshake packets is transfered on 2.0 bus.
- probabaly power might be saved for usb host controller since
cancelling bulk transfer may disable the asynchronous schedule of
host controller.
With this patch, when link becomes off, about ~10% performance
boost can be found on bulk transfer of anther usb device which
is attached to same bus with the usbnet device, see below

Please accept this pull request for the 3.10 stream...
Regarding the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"Here I have a bunch of minstrel fixes from Felix, per-interface
multicast filtering from Alex, set_tim debouncing from Ilan,
per-interface debugfs cleanups from Stanislaw, an error return fix from
Wei and a number of small improvements and fixes that I made myself."
And for the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:
"Andrei changed an instance of kmalloc+memdup to kmemdup, Stanislaw
removed the now unused 5ghz_disable module parameter. I also have a
number of fixes from Ilan, Emmanuel and myself, Emmanuel also continued
working on Bluetooth coexistence."
For the sizeable batch of Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
"This is our first batch of patches for 3.10. The biggest changes of this pull
request are from Johan Hedberg, he implemented a HCI request framework to make
life easier when we have to send many HCI commands and a block and wait for
all of the to finish, we were able to fix a few issues in stack with the
introduction of this framework.
Other than that Dean Jenkins did a good work cleaning the RFCOMM code, the
refcnt infrastructure was removed and now we use NULL pointer checks to know
when a object was freed or not. That code was buggy and now it looks a way
better.
The rest of changes are clean ups, fixes and small improvements all over the
Bluetooth subsystem."
Regarding the wl12xx bits, Luca says:
"Some patches intended for 3.10. Mostly bug fixes and other small
improvements."
On top of that, there are updates to brcmfmac, brcmsmac, b43, ssb and
bcma, as well as mwifiex, rt2x00, and ath9k and a few others. The most
notable bit is the addition of a new driver in the rtlwifi family.

====================
This patch and the following two patches add support for link flap avoidance
by maintaining the link on power down. This feature is required for
management capable devices to have the management connection
uninterrupted on driver reload, reboot and interface up/down.
The other pros of this feature are
- It speeds up boot up time by several seconds as DHCP addresses can be
acquired faster.
- It avoids lengthy Spanning Tree delay.
On powerup the hardware brings up the phy with default settings. If the
link is not up, the management software configures the phy to gigabit
and starts autonegotiate. Subsequently, as long as the link is up, the
driver and management refrain from resetting and/or changing any
configuration that the link depends on.
The LNK_FLAP_AVOID setting is an NVRAM user configurable bit and is
disabled by default. If this setting is enabled, we skip powering down
the phy and resetting it.
A second NVRAM setting is 1G_ON_VAUX_OK (off by default). This adds
support for gigabit link speed when device is on auxiliary power.

tg3: Pull the phy advertised speed and flow control settings on driver load
Normally on driver load, we set the default settings for speed and flow
control. However, if the default setting is not compatible with the current link
state, we would autonegotiate and cause a link flap. To avoid this, we
pull the current advertised settings into the config.
A second scenario is if a user changes the speed/duplex/fc settings when
the interface is down. In this case we must not pull the settings from
the phy and overwrite user settings. We avoid that by checking the
USER_CONFIGURED flag.
