2011-03-15[net/9p] Small non-IO PDUs for zero-copy supporting transports.Venkateswararao Jujjuri (JV)
If a transport prefers payload to be sent separate from the PDU (P9_TRANS_PREF_PAYLOAD_SEP), there is no need to allocate msize PDU buffers(struct p9_fcall). This patch allocates only upto 4k buffers for this kind of transports and there won't be any change to the legacy transports. Hence, this patch on top of zero copy changes allows user to specify higher msizes through the mount option without hogging the kernel heap.

2011-03-15[net/9p] Handle Zero Copy TREAD/RERROR case in !dotl case.Venkateswararao Jujjuri (JV)
This takes care of copying out error buffers from user buffer payloads when we are using zero copy. This happens because the only payload buffer the server has to respond to the request is the user buffer given for the zero copy read. Because we only use zerocopy when the amount of data to transfer is greater than a certain size (currently 4K) and error strings are limited to ERRMAX (currently 128) we don't need to worry about there being sufficient space for the error to fit in the payload.

2011-03-15[net/9p] Add preferences to transport layer.Venkateswararao Jujjuri (JV)
This patch adds preferences field to the p9_trans_module. Through this, now transport layer can express its preference about the payload. i.e if payload neds to be part of the PDU or it prefers it to be sent sepearetly so that the transport layer can handle it in a better way.

2011-03-15[net/9p] Preparation and helper functions for zero copyVenkateswararao Jujjuri (JV)
This patch prepares p9_fcall structure for zero copy. Added fields send the payload buffer information to the transport layer. In addition it adds a 'private' field for the transport layer to store mapped/pinned page information so that it can be freed/unpinned during req_done. This patch also creates trans_common.[ch] to house helper functions. It adds the following helper functions. p9_release_req_pages - Release pages after the transaction. p9_nr_pages - Return number of pages needed to accomodate the payload. payload_gup - Translates user buffer into kernel pages.

2011-03-15ipvs: properly zero stats and ratesJulian Anastasov
Currently, the new percpu counters are not zeroed and the zero commands do not work as expected, we still show the old sum of percpu values. OTOH, we can not reset the percpu counters from user context without causing the incrementing to use old and bogus values. So, as Eric Dumazet suggested fix that by moving all overhead to stats reading in user context. Do not introduce overhead in timer context (estimator) and incrementing (packet handling in softirqs). The new ustats0 field holds the zero point for all counter values, the rates always use 0 as base value as before. When showing the values to user space just give the difference between counters and the base values. The only drawback is that percpu stats are not zeroed, they are accessible only from /proc and are new interface, so it should not be a compatibility problem as long as the sum stats are correct after zeroing.

2011-03-15ipvs: reorganize tot_statsJulian Anastasov
The global tot_stats contains cpustats field just like the stats for dest and svc, so better use it to simplify the usage in estimation_timer. As tot_stats is registered as estimator we can remove the special ip_vs_read_cpu_stats call for tot_stats. Fix ip_vs_read_cpu_stats to be called under stats lock because it is still used as synchronization between estimation timer and user context (the stats readers). Also, make sure ip_vs_stats_percpu_show reads properly the u64 stats from user context.

2011-03-14tcp: fix RTT for quick packets in congestion controlstephen hemminger
In the congestion control interface, the callback for each ACK includes an estimated round trip time in microseconds. Some algorithms need high resolution (Vegas style) but most only need jiffie resolution. If RTT is not accurate (like a retransmission) -1 is used as a flag value. When doing coarse resolution if RTT is less than a a jiffie then 0 should be returned rather than no estimate. Otherwise algorithms that expect good ack's to trigger slow start (like CUBIC Hystart) will be confused. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-03-14bridge: skip forwarding delay if not using STPstephen hemminger
If Spanning Tree Protocol is not enabled, there is no good reason for the bridge code to wait for the forwarding delay period before enabling the link. The purpose of the forwarding delay is to allow STP to learn about other bridges before nominating itself. The only possible impact is that when starting up a new port the bridge may flood a packet now, where previously it might have seen traffic from the other host and preseeded the forwarding table. Includes change for local variable br already available in that func. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-03-14bridge: control carrier based on ports onlinestephen hemminger
This makes the bridge device behave like a physical device. In earlier releases the bridge always asserted carrier. This changes the behavior so that bridge device carrier is on only if one or more ports are in the forwarding state. This should help IPv6 autoconfiguration, DHCP, and routing daemons. I did brief testing with Network and Virt manager and they seem fine, but since this changes behavior of bridge, it should wait until net-next (2.6.39).
