2012-05-03ata: ahci_platform: Add synopsys ahci controller in DT's compatible listViresh Kumar
SPEAr13xx series of SoCs contain Synopsys AHCI SATA Controller which shares ahci_platform driver with other controller versions. This patch updates DT compatible list for ahci_platform. It also updates and renames binding documentation to more generic name.

2012-05-02tcp: change tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_rmem[2]Eric Dumazet
tcp_adv_win_scale default value is 2, meaning we expect a good citizen skb to have skb->len / skb->truesize ratio of 75% (3/4) In 2.6 kernels we (mis)accounted for typical MSS=1460 frame : 1536 + 64 + 256 = 1856 'estimated truesize', and 1856 * 3/4 = 1392. So these skbs were considered as not bloated. With recent truesize fixes, a typical MSS=1460 frame truesize is now the more precise : 2048 + 256 = 2304. But 2304 * 3/4 = 1728. So these skb are not good citizen anymore, because 1460 < 1728 (GRO can escape this problem because it build skbs with a too low truesize.) This also means tcp advertises a too optimistic window for a given allocated rcvspace : When receiving frames, sk_rmem_alloc can hit sk_rcvbuf limit and we call tcp_prune_queue()/tcp_collapse() too often, especially when application is slow to drain its receive queue or in case of losses (netperf is fast, scp is slow). This is a major latency source. We should adjust the len/truesize ratio to 50% instead of 75% This patch : 1) changes tcp_adv_win_scale default to 1 instead of 2 2) increase tcp_rmem[2] limit from 4MB to 6MB to take into account better truesize tracking and to allow autotuning tcp receive window to reach same value than before. Note that same amount of kernel memory is consumed compared to 2.6 kernels.

2012-05-02tcp: early retransmitYuchung Cheng
This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP. It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout. While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection after the first reordering event. A large scale web server experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”, IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if people think it's a good idea. ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans: 0: Disables ER 1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4. 2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay entering fast recovery by RTT/4. Note: mode 2 is implemented in the third part of this patch series.

2012-04-30PCI: work around Stratus ftServer broken PCIe hierarchyBjorn Helgaas
A PCIe downstream port is a P2P bridge. Its secondary interface is a link that should lead only to device 0 (unless ARI is enabled)[1], so we don't probe for non-zero device numbers. Some Stratus ftServer systems have a PCIe downstream port (02:00.0) that leads to both an upstream port (03:00.0) and a downstream port (03:01.0), and 03:01.0 has important devices below it: [0000:02]-+-00.0-[03-3c]--+-00.0-[04-09]--... \-01.0-[0a-0d]--+-[USB] +-[NIC] +-... Previously, we didn't enumerate device 03:01.0, so USB and the network didn't work. This patch adds a DMI quirk to scan all device numbers, not just 0, below a downstream port.

2012-04-18pinctrl: replace list_*() with get_*_count()Viresh Kumar
Most of the SoC drivers implement list_groups() and list_functions() routines for pinctrl and pinmux. These routines continue returning zero until the selector argument is greater than total count of available groups or functions. This patch replaces these list_*() routines with get_*_count() routines, which returns the number of available selection for SoC driver. pinctrl layer will use this value to check the range it can choose. This patch fixes all user drivers for this change. There are other routines in user drivers, which have checks to check validity of selector passed to them. It is also no more required and hence removed. Documentation updated as well.

2012-04-12memcg: fix up documentation on global LRUYing Han
In v3.3-rc1, the global LRU was removed in commit 925b7673cce3 ("mm: make per-memcg LRU lists exclusive"). The patch fixes up the memcg docs. I left the swap session to someone who has better understanding of 'memory+swap'.

2012-04-11batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance codeSimon Wunderlich
This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN). By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment: node1 <-- LAN --> node2 | | wifi <-- mesh --> wifi Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN. With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively avoided.
