[TCP]: receive buffer growth limiting with mixed MTU
This is a patch for discussion addressing some receive buffer growing issues.
This is partially related to the thread "Possible BUG in IPv4 TCP window
handling..." last week.
Specifically it addresses the problem of an interaction between rcvbuf
moderation (receiver autotuning) and rcv_ssthresh. The problem occurs when
sending small packets to a receiver with a larger MTU. (A very common case I
have is a host with a 1500 byte MTU sending to a host with a 9k MTU.) In
such a case, the rcv_ssthresh code is targeting a window size corresponding
to filling up the current rcvbuf, not taking into account that the new rcvbuf
moderation may increase the rcvbuf size.
One hunk makes rcv_ssthresh use tcp_rmem[2] as the size target rather than
rcvbuf. The other changes the behavior when it overflows its memory bounds
with in-order data so that it tries to grow rcvbuf (the same as with
out-of-order data).
These changes should help my problem of mixed MTUs, and should also help the
case from last week's thread I think. (In both cases though you still need
tcp_rmem[2] to be set much larger than the TCP window.) One question is if
this is too aggressive at trying to increase rcvbuf if it's under memory
stress.

[PATCH] PCI: fix for Toshiba ohci1394 quirk
After much testing and agony, I've discovered that my previous ohci1394
quirk for Toshiba laptops is not 100% reliable. It apparently fails to
do the interrupt line change either correctly or in time, since in about
2 out of 5 boots, the kernel's irqdebug code will *still* disable irq 11
when the ohci1394 driver is loaded (at pci_enable_device time I think).
This patch switches things around a little in the workaround. First, it
removes the mdelay. I didn't see a need for it and my testing has shown
that it's not necessary for the quirk to work.
Secondly, instead of trying to change the interrupt line to what ACPI
tells us it should be, this patch makes the quirk use the value in the
PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE register. On this laptop at least, that seems to be
the right thing to do, though additional testing on other laptops and/or
with actual firewire devices would be appreciated.

[PATCH] pciehp: clean-up how we request control of hotplug hardware
This patch further tweaks how we request control of hotplug
controller hardware from BIOS. We first search the ACPI namespace
corresponding to a specific hotplug controller looking for an
_OSC or OSHP method. On failure, we successively move to the
ACPI parent object, till we hit the highest level host bridge
in the hierarchy. This allows for different types of BIOS's
which place the _OSC/OSHP methods at various places in the acpi
namespace, while still not encroaching on the namespace of
some other root level host bridge.
This patch also introduces a new load time option (pciehp_force)
that allows us to bypass all _OSC/OSHP checking. Not supporting
these methods seems to be be the most common ACPI firmware problem
we've run into. This will still _not_ allow the pciehp driver to
work correctly if the BIOS really doesn't support pciehp (i.e. if
it doesn't generate a hotplug interrupt). Use this option with
caution. Some BIOS's may deliberately not build any _OSC/OSHP
methods to make sure it retains control the hotplug hardware.
Using the pciehp_force parameter for such systems can lead to
two separate entities trying to control the same hardware.
