TCP without FRTO would be in Loss state with small cwnd. FRTO,
however, leaves cwnd (typically) to a larger value which causes
ssthresh to become too large in case RTO is triggered again
compared to what conventional recovery would do. Because
consecutive RTOs result in only a single ssthresh reduction,
RTO+cumulative ACK+RTO pattern is required to trigger this
event.
A large comment is included for congestion control module writers
trying to figure out what CA_EVENT_FRTO handler should do because
there exists a remote possibility of incompatibility between
FRTO and module defined ssthresh functions.

Previously RETRANS bits were cleared on the entry to FRTO. We
postpone that into tcp_enter_frto_loss, which is really the
place were the clearing should be done anyway. This allows
simplification of the logic from a clearing loop to the head skb
clearing only.
Besides, the other changes made in the previous patches to
tcp_use_frto made it impossible for the non-SACKed FRTO to be
entered if other than the head has been rexmitted.
With SACK-enhanced FRTO (and Appendix B), however, there can be
a number retransmissions in flight when RTO expires (same thing
could happen before this patchset also with non-SACK FRTO). To
not introduce any jumpiness into the packet counting during FRTO,
instead of clearing RETRANS bits from skbs during entry, do it
later on.

This interpretation comes from RFC4138:
"If the sender implements some loss recovery algorithm other
than Reno or NewReno [FHG04], the F-RTO algorithm SHOULD
NOT be entered when earlier fast recovery is underway."
I think the RFC means to say (especially in the light of
Appendix B) that ...recovery is underway (not just fast recovery)
or was underway when it was interrupted by an earlier (F-)RTO
that hasn't yet been resolved (snd_una has not advanced enough).
Thus, my interpretation is that whenever TCP has ever
retransmitted other than head, basic version cannot be used
because then the order assumptions which are used as FRTO basis
do not hold.
NewReno has only the head segment retransmitted at a time.
Therefore, walk up to the segment that has not been SACKed, if
that segment is not retransmitted nor anything before it, we know
for sure, that nothing after the non-SACKed segment should be
either. This assumption is valid because TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS does
not leave holes but each non-SACKed segment is rexmitted
in-order.
Check for retrans_out > 1 avoids more expensive walk through the
skb list, as we can know the result beforehand: F-RTO will not be
allowed.
SACKed skb can turn into non-SACked only in the extremely rare
case of SACK reneging, in this case we might fail to detect
retransmissions if there were them for any other than head. To
get rid of that feature, whole rexmit queue would have to be
walked (always) or FRTO should be prevented when SACK reneging
happens. Of course RTO should still trigger after reneging which
makes this issue even less likely to show up. And as long as the
response is as conservative as it's now, nothing bad happens even
then.

Because TCP is not in Loss state during FRTO recovery, fast
recovery could be triggered by accident. Non-SACK FRTO is more
robust than not yet included SACK-enhanced version (that can
receiver high number of duplicate ACKs with SACK blocks during
FRTO), at least with unidirectional transfers, but under
extraordinary patterns fast recovery can be incorrectly
triggered, e.g., Data loss+ACK losses => cumulative ACK with
enough SACK blocks to meet sacked_out >= dupthresh condition).

The FRTO detection did not care how ACK pattern affects to cwnd
calculation of the conventional recovery. This caused incorrect
setting of cwnd when the fallback becames necessary. The
knowledge tcp_process_frto() has about the incoming ACK is now
passed on to tcp_enter_frto_loss() in allowed_segments parameter
that gives the number of segments that must be added to
packets-in-flight while calculating the new cwnd.
Instead of snd_una we use FLAG_DATA_ACKED in duplicate ACK
detection because RFC4138 states (in Section 2.2):
If the first acknowledgment after the RTO retransmission
does not acknowledge all of the data that was retransmitted
in step 1, the TCP sender reverts to the conventional RTO
recovery. Otherwise, a malicious receiver acknowledging
partial segments could cause the sender to declare the
timeout spurious in a case where data was lost.
If the next ACK after RTO is duplicate, we do not retransmit
anything, which is equal to what conservative conventional
recovery does in such case.

Retransmission counter assumptions are to be changed. Forcing
reason to do this exist: Using sysctl in check would be racy
as soon as FRTO starts to ignore some ACKs (doing that in the
following patches). Userspace may disable it at any moment
giving nice oops if timing is right. frto_counter would be
inaccessible from userspace, but with SACK enhanced FRTO
retrans_out can include other than head, and possibly leaving
it non-zero after spurious RTO, boom again.
Luckily, solution seems rather simple: never go directly to Open
state but use Disorder instead. This does not really change much,
since TCP could anyway change its state to Disorder during FRTO
using path tcp_fastretrans_alert -> tcp_try_to_open (e.g., when
a SACK block makes ACK dubious). Besides, Disorder seems to be
the state where TCP should be if not recovering (in Recovery or
Loss state) while having some retransmissions in-flight (see
tcp_try_to_open), which is exactly what happens with FRTO.

In case a latency spike causes more than one RTO, the later should not
cause the already reduced ssthresh to propagate into the prior_ssthresh
since FRTO declares all such RTOs spurious at once or none of them. In
treating of ssthresh, we mimic what tcp_enter_loss() does.
The previous state (in frto_counter) must be available until we have
checked it in tcp_enter_frto(), and also ACK information flag in
process_frto().

There's a really rare and obscure bug in CFQ, that causes a crash in
cfq_dispatch_insert() due to rq == NULL. One example of the resulting
oops is seen here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41
Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen: if two
concurrent requests with the exact same sector number (due to direct IO
or aliasing between MD and the raw device access), the alias handling
will add the request to the sortlist, but next_rq remains NULL.
Read the more complete analysis at:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/25/57
This looks like it requires md to trigger, even though it should
potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the
kernel and doctor some of the unplug calls).
The fix is to move the ->next_rq update to when we add a request to the
rbtree. Then we remove the possibility for a request to exist in the
rbtree code, but not have ->next_rq correctly updated.

Broken by 4a1728a28a193aa388900714bbb1f375e08a6d8e which switched the
return semantics of read_mii_word() but didn't fix usage of
read_mii_word() to conform to the new semantics.
Setting carrier to off based on the NO_CARRIER flag is also incorrect as
that flag only triggers on TX failure and therefore isn't correct when
no frames are being transmitted. Since there is already a 2*HZ MII
carrier check going on, defer to that.
Add a TRUST_LINK_STATUS feature flag for adapters where the LINK_STATUS
flag is actually correct, and use that rather than the NO_CARRIER flag.

The sis900 driver appears to have a bug in which the receive routine
passes the skbuff holding the received frame to the network stack before
refilling the buffer in the rx ring. If a new skbuff cannot be allocated, the
driver simply leaves a hole in the rx ring, which causes the driver to stop
receiving frames and become non-recoverable without an rmmod/insmod according to
reporters. This patch reverses that order, attempting to allocate a replacement
buffer first, and receiving the new frame only if one can be allocated. If no
skbuff can be allocated, the current skbuf in the rx ring is recycled, dropping
the current frame, but keeping the NIC operational.

The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read
lock. As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race
condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which
results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount.
This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(),
into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around
the entire critical section.

This is one way to solve the problem without re-arranging structure members
is to pack the structure. The patch adds an __attribute__((aligned(8))) to
the taskstats structure members so that 32 bit applications using taskstats
can work with a 64 bit kernel.
Using __attribute__((packed)) would break the 64 bit alignment of members.
The fix was tested on x86_64. After the fix, we got
