2010-05-01[SCSI] advansys: fix narrow board error pathHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski
Error handling on advansys_board_found is fixed, because it's buggy in the case we have an ASC_NARROW_BOARD set and failure happens on AscInitAsc1000Driver step: it was freeing items of wrong struct in the dvc_var union of struct asc_board, which could lead to an oops in the case we set some of the fields in struct of narrow board as code was choosing to always freeing wide board fields, and not everything was being freed/released properly.

2010-04-30sctp: Tag messages that can be Nagle delayed at creation.Vlad Yasevich
When we create the sctp_datamsg and fragment the user data, we know exactly if we are sending full segments or not and how they might be bundled. During this time, we can mark messages a Nagle capable or not. This makes the check at transmit time much simpler. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>
2010-04-30sctp: Optimize computation of highest new tsn in SACK.Vlad Yasevich
Right now, if the highest tsn in the SACK doesn't change, we'll end up scanning the transmitted lists on the transports twice: once for locating the highest _new_ tsn, and once for actually tagging chunks as acked. This is a waste, since we can record the highest _new_ tsn at the same time as tagging chunks. Long ago this was not possible because we would try to mark chunks as missing at the same time as tagging them acked and this approach didn't work. Now that the two steps are separate, we can re-use the old approach. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

2010-04-30sctp: rwnd_press should be cumulativeVlad Yasevich
rwnd_press tracks the pressure on the recieve window. Every timer the receive buffer overlows, we truncate the receive window and then grow it back.

The 'resent' bit is used to make sure that we don't update rto estimate based on retransmitted chunks. However, we already have the 'rto_pending' bit that we test when need to update rto, so 'resent' bit is just extra. Additionally, we currently have a bug in that we always set a 'resent' bit and thus rto estimate is only updated by Heartbeats. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

commit 4951feda0c60d1ef681f1a270afdd617924ab041 sctp: Do no select unconfirmed transports for retransmissions added code to make sure that we do not select unconfirmed paths for data transmission. This caused a problem when there are only 2 paths, 1 unconfirmed and 1 unreachable. In that case, the next retransmit path returned is NULL and that causes a kernel crash.

Fix this by making - ampdu_ack_len -> the number of ACKed frames (i.e. successes) - ampdu_ack_map -> the bitmap - ampdu_len -> the total number of frames sent (i.e., attempts) to match the header file (and verified with ath9k's usage) and updating Intel's RS code to match.
