[PATCH] Lazy page table copies in fork()
Defer copying of ptes until fault time when it is possible to reconstruct
the pte from backing store. Idea from Andi Kleen and Nick Piggin.
Thanks to input from Rik van Riel and Linus and to Hugh for correcting
my blundering.
Ray Fucillo <fucillo@intersystems.com> reports:
"I applied this latest patch to a 2.6.12 kernel and found that it does
resolve the problem. Prior to the patch on this machine, I was
seeing about 23ms spent in fork for ever 100MB of shared memory
segment.
After applying the patch, fork is taking about 1ms regardless of the
shared memory size."

[CCID3]: Call sk->sk_write_space(sk) when receiving a feedback packet
This makes the send rate calculations behave way more closely to what
is specified, with the jitter previously seen on x and x_recv
disappearing completely on non lossy setups.
This resembles the tcp_data_snd_check code, that possibly we'll end up
using in DCCP as well, perhaps moving this code to
inet_connection_sock.
For now I'm doing the simplest implementation tho.

So that applications can set dccp_sock->dccps_pkt_size, that in turn
is used in the CCID3 half connection init routines to set
ccid3hc[tr]x_s and use it in its rate calculations.

[DCCP]: Introduce dccp_tfrc_lib module with net/dccp/ccids/lib/*.c
I'll now take a look at the other proposed TFRC DCCP CCIDs to find
more code that is now in ccid3.c and move to this module, the loss
event rate, calc_X, etc most probably will be moved there.
The main goal of these changes is to pave the way for the
implementation of more TFRC based DCCP CCIDs and to shrink ccid3.c,
reducing its complexity and helping in getting it rock solid.

Introducing functions to add to or subtract from a timeval variable
and renaming now_delta to timeval_new_delta that calls do_gettimeofday
and then timeval_delta, that should be used when there are several
deltas made relative to the current time or setting variables to it,
so as to avoid calling do_gettimeofday excessively.
I'm leaving these "timeval_" prefixed funcions internal to DCCP for a
while till we're sure there are no subtle bugs in it.
It also is more correct as it checks if the number of usecs added to
or subtracted from a tv_usec field is more than 2 seconds.

[BNX2]: speedup serdes linkup
This speeds up link-up time on 5706 SerDes if the link partner does
not autoneg, a rather common scenario in blade servers. Some blade
servers use IPMI for keyboard input and it's important to minimize
link disruptions.
The speedup is achieved by shortening the timer to (HZ / 3) during
the transient period right after initiating a SerDes autoneg. If
autoneg does not complete, parallel detect can be done sooner. After
the transient period is over, the timer goes back to its normal HZ
interval.
As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the timer initialization is moved to
bnx2_init_board() from bnx2_open().
An eeprom bit is also added to allow default forced SerDes speed for
even faster link-up time.

[BNX2]: Fix rtnl deadlock in bnx2_close
This fixes an rtnl deadlock problem when flush_scheduled_work() is
called from bnx2_close(). In rare cases, linkwatch_event() may be on
the workqueue from a previous close of a different device and it will
try to get the rtnl lock which is already held by dev_close().
The fix is to set a flag if we are in the reset task which is run
from the workqueue. bnx2_close() will loop until the flag is cleared.
As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the loop is changed to call msleep(1)
instead of yield() in the original patch.
flush_scheduled_work() is also moved to bnx2_remove_one() before the
netdev is freed.

This, for instance, shows that we're not congestion controlling ACKs,
as the above output is in the ttcp receiving host, and ttcp is a one
way app, i.e. the received never calls sendmsg, so
ccid_hc_tx_send_packet is never called, so the TX half connection
stays in TFRC_SSTATE_NO_SENT state and hctx_rtt is never calculated,
stays with the value set in ccid3_hc_tx_init, 4us, as show above in
milliseconds (0.004ms), upcoming patches will fix this.
rcv_rtt seems sane tho, matching ping results :-)
