For N cpus, with full throttle traffic on all N CPUs, funneling traffic
to the same ethernet device, the devices queue lock is contended by all
N CPUs constantly. The TX lock is only contended by a max of 2 CPUS.
In the current mode of operation, after all the work of entering the
dequeue region, we may endup aborting the path if we are unable to get
the tx lock and go back to contend for the queue lock. As N goes up,
this gets worse.

[TCP]: Enable SACK enhanced FRTO (RFC4138) by default
Most of the description that follows comes from my mail to
netdev (some editing done):
Main obstacle to FRTO use is its deployment as it has to be on
the sender side where as wireless link is often the receiver's
access link. Take initiative on behalf of unlucky receivers and
enable it by default in future Linux TCP senders. Also IETF
seems to interested in advancing FRTO from experimental [1].
How does FRTO help?
===================
FRTO detects spurious RTOs and avoids a number of unnecessary
retransmissions and a couple of other problems that can arise
due to incorrect guess made at RTO (i.e., that segments were
lost when they actually got delayed which is likely to occur
e.g. in wireless environments with link-layer retransmission).
Though FRTO cannot prevent the first (potentially unnecessary)
retransmission at RTO, I suspect that it won't cost that much
even if you have to pay for each bit (won't be that high
percentage out of all packets after all :-)). However, usually
when you have a spurious RTO, not only the first segment
unnecessarily retransmitted but the *whole window*. It goes like
this: all cumulative ACKs got delayed due to in-order delivery,
then TCP will actually send 1.5*original cwnd worth of data in
the RTO's slow-start when the delayed ACKs arrive (basically the
original cwnd worth of it unnecessarily). In case one is
interested in minimizing unnecessary retransmissions e.g. due to
cost, those rexmissions must never see daylight. Besides, in the
worst case the generated burst overloads the bottleneck buffers
which is likely to significantly delay the further progress of
the flow. In case of ll rexmissions, ACK compression often
occurs at the same time making the burst very "sharp edged" (in
that case TCP often loses most of the segments above high_seq
=> very bad performance too). When FRTO is enabled, those
unnecessary retransmissions are fully avoided except for the
first segment and the cwnd behavior after detected spurious RTO
is determined by the response (one can tune that by sysctl).
Basic version (non-SACK enhanced one), FRTO can fail to detect
spurious RTO as spurious and falls back to conservative
behavior. ACK lossage is much less significant than reordering,
usually the FRTO can detect spurious RTO if at least 2
cumulative ACKs from original window are preserved (excluding
the ACK that advances to high_seq). With SACK-enhanced version,
the detection is quite robust.
FRTO should remove the need to set a high lower bound for the
RTO estimator due to delay spikes that occur relatively common
in some environments (esp. in wireless/cellular ones).

Device tree aware EMAC driver
Based on BenH's earlier work, this is a new version of the EMAC driver
for the built-in ethernet found on PowerPC 4xx embedded CPUs. The
same ASIC is also found in the Axon bridge chip. This new version is
designed to work in the arch/powerpc tree, using the device tree to
probe the device, rather than the old and ugly arch/ppc OCP layer.
This driver is designed to sit alongside the old driver (that lies in
drivers/net/ibm_emac and this one in drivers/net/ibm_newemac). The
old driver is left in place to support arch/ppc until arch/ppc itself
reaches its final demise (not too long now, with luck).
This driver still has a number of things that could do with cleaning
up, but I think they can be fixed up after merging. Specifically:
- Should be adjusted to properly use the dma mapping API.
Axon needs this.
- Probe logic needs reworking, in conjuction with the general
probing code for of_platform devices. The dependencies here between
EMAC, MAL, ZMII etc. make this complicated. At present, it usually
works, because we initialize and register the sub-drivers before the
EMAC driver itself, and (being in driver code) runs after the devices
themselves have been instantiated from the device tree.

since that is where they are initialized. This also allows
one to build a kernel without sysctl support.

[SCTP]: Implement the Supported Extensions Parameter
SCTP Supported Extenions parameter is specified in Section 4.2.7
of the ADD-IP draft (soon to be RFC). The parameter is
encoded as:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Parameter Type = 0x8008 | Parameter Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| CHUNK TYPE 1 | CHUNK TYPE 2 | CHUNK TYPE 3 | CHUNK TYPE 4 |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| .... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| CHUNK TYPE N | PAD | PAD | PAD |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
It contains a list of chunks that a particular SCTP extension
uses. Current extensions supported are Partial Reliability
(FWD-TSN) and ADD-IP (ASCONF and ASCONF-ACK).
When implementing new extensions (AUTH, PKT-DROP, etc..), new
chunks need to be added to this parameter. Parameter processing
would be modified to negotiate support for these new features.

This patch slightly cleanups FIB rules framework. rules_list as a pointer
on struct fib_rules_ops is useless. It is always assigned with a static
per/subsystem list in IPv4, IPv6 and DecNet.

[NET]: Cleanup calling netdev notifiers.
The call_netdev_notifiers routine can successfully be used in
the net/core_dev.c itself.
This will save 6 lines of code and 62 ;) bytes of .text section.
62 is rather small, but I have one more patch saving ~30 bytes
from netns code (sent to Eric), so altogether they can save
some more noticeable amount.

[NETNS]: Consolidate hashes creation in netdev_init()
The dev_name_hash and the dev_index_hash are now booth kmalloc-ed
(and each element is properly initialized as usually) so I think
it's worth consolidating this code making it look nicer (and
saving 28 bytes of .text section ;) )

HARD_TX_LOCK micro is a nice aggregation that could be used
in other spots. move it to netdevice.h
Also makes sure the previously superflous cpu arguement is used.
Thanks to DaveM for the suggestions.

[CIPSO]: remove duplicated code in the cipso_v4_*_getattr() functions
The bulk of the CIPSO option parsing/processing in the cipso_v4_sock_getattr()
and cipso_v4_skb_getattr() functions are identical, the only real difference
being where the functions obtain the CIPSO option itself. This patch creates
a new function, cipso_v4_getattr(), which contains the common CIPSO option
parsing/processing code and modifies the existing functions to call this new
helper function.
