ipv6: fix RTPROT_RA markup of RA routes w/nexthops
Userspace implementations of network routing protocols sometimes need to
tell RA-originated IPv6 routes from other kernel routes to make proper
routing decisions. This makes most sense for RA routes with nexthops,
namely, default routes and Route Information routes.
The intended mean of preserving RA route origin in a netlink message is
through indicating RTPROT_RA as protocol code. Function rt6_fill_node()
tried to do that for default routes, but its test condition was taken
wrong. This change is modeled after the original mailing list posting
by Jeff Haran. It fixes the test condition for default route case and
sets the same behaviour for Route Information case (both types use
nexthops). Handling of the 3rd RA route type, Prefix Information, is
left unchanged, as it stands for interface connected routes (without
nexthops).

tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usage
The tipc_printf is renamed to tipc_snprintf, as the new name

this function that used to pass a print_buf are updated.
Final removal of the struct print_buf itself will be done
synchronously with the pending removal of the deprecated

Functions that build up a response message with a list of
ports, nametable contents etc. are changed to return the number
of characters written to the output buffer. This information
was previously hidden in a field of the print_buf struct, and
the number of chars written was fetched with a call to
tipc_printbuf_validate. This function is removed since it
is no longer referenced nor needed.
A generic max size ULTRA_STRING_MAX_LEN is defined, named
in keeping with the existing TIPC_TLV_ULTRA_STRING, and the
various definitions in port, link and nametable code that
largely duplicated this information are removed. This means
that amount of link statistics that can be returned is now
increased from 2k to 32k.

message is passed over netlink or TIPC to a remote node and

tipc: simplify print buffer handling in tipc_printf
tipc_printf was previously used both to construct debug traces
and to append data to buffers that should be sent over netlink
to the tipc-config application. A global print_buffer was
used to format the string before it was copied to the actual
output buffer. This could lead to concurrent access of the
global print_buffer, which then had to be lock protected.
This is simplified by changing tipc_printf to append data
directly to the output buffer using vscnprintf.
With the new implementation of tipc_printf, there is no longer
any risk of concurrent access to the internal log buffer, so
the lock (and the comments describing it) are no longer
strictly necessary. However, there are still a few functions
that do grab this lock before resizing/dumping the log
buffer. We leave the lock, and these functions untouched since
they will be removed with a subsequent commit that drops the

In addition it also helps to reduce memory overhead when using TCP. This

Generally the NS8390 based eth device is direct connected via the general

fixed on each of the different platforms (classic platform setup).
This driver is based on the other drivers/net/ethernet/8390 drivers, and
includes the lib8390.c code. It uses the existing definitions of the

tcp: TCP Small Queues
This introduce TSQ (TCP Small Queues)
TSQ goal is to reduce number of TCP packets in xmit queues (qdisc &
device queues), to reduce RTT and cwnd bias, part of the bufferbloat
problem.
sk->sk_wmem_alloc not allowed to grow above a given limit,
allowing no more than ~128KB [1] per tcp socket in qdisc/dev layers at a
given time.
TSO packets are sized/capped to half the limit, so that we have two
TSO packets in flight, allowing better bandwidth use.
As a side effect, setting the limit to 40000 automatically reduces the
standard gso max limit (65536) to 40000/2 : It can help to reduce
latencies of high prio packets, having smaller TSO packets.
This means we divert sock_wfree() to a tcp_wfree() handler, to
queue/send following frames when skb_orphan() [2] is called for the
already queued skbs.
Results on my dev machines (tg3/ixgbe nics) are really impressive,
using standard pfifo_fast, and with or without TSO/GSO.
Without reduction of nominal bandwidth, we have reduction of buffering
per bulk sender :
< 1ms on Gbit (instead of 50ms with TSO)
< 8ms on 100Mbit (instead of 132 ms)
I no longer have 4 MBytes backlogged in qdisc by a single netperf
session, and both side socket autotuning no longer use 4 Mbytes.
As skb destructor cannot restart xmit itself ( as qdisc lock might be
taken at this point ), we delegate the work to a tasklet. We use one
tasklest per cpu for performance reasons.
If tasklet finds a socket owned by the user, it sets TSQ_OWNED flag.
This flag is tested in a new protocol method called from release_sock(),
to eventually send new segments.
[1] New /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes tunable
[2] skb_orphan() is usually called at TX completion time,
but some drivers call it in their start_xmit() handler.
These drivers should at least use BQL, or else a single TCP
session can still fill the whole NIC TX ring, since TSQ will
have no effect.

ixgbe: Clean up a useless switch statement and dead code in configure_srrctl
This patch replaces a switch statement for an 82598 workaround with an if
statement that only applies to 82598. In addition I am pulling out several
dead pieces of code and instead of reading the SRRCTL register and then
modifying it we are just writing a value which we generate from scratch.
Finally I am also removing any drop enable related code since that was
moved to a function of its own.

ixgbe: Add feature offset value to ring features
The mask value for ring features was overloaded for FCoE which can lead to
some confusion. In order to avoid any confusion I am splitting the mask
value and adding an offset value. This can be used for the start of the
FCoE rings, and in the future I hope to use it to store the start of the
registers for SR-IOV.

ixgbe: Add upper limit to ring features
We are currently using indices to indicate the upper limit on a ring
feature. However since we can switch back and forth on features such as
DCB and that has effects on other features such as RSS it is preferable to
instead store the upper limit separate from the current value for the
number of rings related to the feature.

ixgbe: count q_vectors instead of MSI-X vectors
It makes much more sense for us to count q_vectors instead of MSI-X
vectors. We were using num_msix_vectors to find the number of q_vectors in
multiple places. This was wasteful since we only had one place that
actually needs the number of MSI-X vectors and that is in slow path.

bridge: fix endian
mld->mld_maxdelay is net endian, so we should use ntohs, not htons

ksz884x: fix Endian
ETH_P_IP is host Endian, skb->protocol is big Endian, when
compare them, Using htons on skb->protocol is wrong.
And fix two code style issues: indentation and remove
unnecessary parentheses.
