From: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru>
Handle better the case where the sender sends full sized
frames initially, then moves to a mode where it trickles
out small amounts of data at a time.
This known problem is even mentioned in the comments
above tcp_grow_window() in tcp_input.c, specifically:
...
* The scheme does not work when sender sends good segments opening
* window and then starts to feed us spagetti. But it should work
* in common situations. Otherwise, we have to rely on queue collapsing.
...
When the sender gives full sized frames, the "struct sk_buff" overhead
from each packet is small. So we'll advertize a larger window.
If the sender moves to a mode where small segments are sent, this
ratio becomes tilted to the other extreme and we start overrunning
the socket buffer space.
tcp_clamp_window() tries to address this, but it's clamping of
tp->window_clamp is a wee bit too aggressive for this particular case.
Fix confirmed by Ion Badulescu.

But retain the comment fix.
Alexey Kuznetsov has explained the situation as follows:
--------------------
I think the fix is incorrect. Look, the RFC function init_cwnd(mss) is
not continuous: f.e. for mss=1095 it needs initial window 1095*4, but
for mss=1096 it is 1096*3. We do not know exactly what mss sender used
for calculations. If we advertised 1096 (and calculate initial window
3*1096), the sender could limit it to some value < 1096 and then it
will need window his_mss*4 > 3*1096 to send initial burst.
See?
So, the honest function for inital rcv_wnd derived from
tcp_init_cwnd() is:
init_rcv_wnd(mss)=
min { init_cwnd(mss1)*mss1 for mss1 <= mss }
It is something sort of:
if (mss < 1096)
return mss*4;
if (mss < 1096*2)
return 1096*4;
return mss*2;
(I just scrablled a graph of piece of paper, it is difficult to see or
to explain without this)
I selected it differently giving more window than it is strictly
required. Initial receive window must be large enough to allow sender
following to the rfc (or just setting initial cwnd to 2) to send
initial burst. But besides that it is arbitrary, so I decided to give
slack space of one segment.
Actually, the logic was:
If mss is low/normal (<=ethernet), set window to receive more than
initial burst allowed by rfc under the worst conditions
i.e. mss*4. This gives slack space of 1 segment for ethernet frames.
For msses slighlty more than ethernet frame, take 3. Try to give slack
space of 1 frame again.
If mss is huge, force 2*mss. No slack space.
Value 1460*3 is really confusing. Minimal one is 1096*2, but besides
that it is an arbitrary value. It was meant to be ~4096. 1460*3 is
just the magic number from RFC, 1460*3 = 1095*4 is the magic :-), so
that I guess hands typed this themselves.

do_signal_stop:
for_each_thread(t) {
if (t->state < TASK_STOPPED)
++sig->group_stop_count;
}
However, TASK_NONINTERACTIVE > TASK_STOPPED, so this loop will not
count TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_NONINTERACTIVE threads.
See also wait_task_stopped(), which checks ->state > TASK_STOPPED.

[ We really probably should always use the appropriate bitmasks to test
task states, not do it like this. Using something like
#define TASK_RUNNABLE (TASK_RUNNING | TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | \
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_NONINTERACTIVE)
and then doing "if (task->state & TASK_RUNNABLE)" or similar. But the
ordering of the task states is historical, and keeping the ordering
does make sense regardless. ]

box, we need to be explicit about the target.

kernel-offsets.c resp.). The rest is made constant and simply
includes those two.
- mk_... helpers are gone now that we don't need to generate these
headers
- arch/um/include2 removed since everything under arch/um/include/sysdep
is constant now and symlink can point straight to source tree.

The attached patch adds extra permission grants to keys for the possessor of a
key in addition to the owner, group and other permissions bits. This makes
SUID binaries easier to support without going as far as labelling keys and key
targets using the LSM facilities.
This patch adds a second "pointer type" to key structures (struct key_ref *)
that can have the bottom bit of the address set to indicate the possession of
a key. This is propagated through searches from the keyring to the discovered
key. It has been made a separate type so that the compiler can spot attempts
to dereference a potentially incorrect pointer.
The "possession" attribute can't be attached to a key structure directly as
it's not an intrinsic property of a key.
Pointers to keys have been replaced with struct key_ref *'s wherever
possession information needs to be passed through.
This does assume that the bottom bit of the pointer will always be zero on
return from kmem_cache_alloc().
The key reference type has been made into a typedef so that at least it can be
located in the sources, even though it's basically a pointer to an undefined
type. I've also renamed the accessor functions to be more useful, and all
reference variables should now end in "_ref".

When creating a multipath device, if the queue_if_no_path parameter is
specified it gets ignored.
While the queue_if_no_path variable is correctly set to 1, the
saved_queue_if_no_path gets set to 0. When the device is subsequently made
live (resumed), the saved value (0) always overwrites the live value (1) so
the option *always* gets turned off.
The fix adds a parameter to the queue_if_no_path() function to indicate
whether the previous value should be preserved or not - if not, as when the
device is being set up, the saved value is set to the new value (1).

This should resolve the issue seen in bugme bug #5105, where it is assumed
that dualcore x86_64 systems have synced TSCs. This is not the case, and
alternate timesources should be used instead.
For more details, see:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5105
Andi's earlier concerns that the TSCs should be synced on dualcore systems
have been resolved by confirmation from AMD folks that they can be
unsynced.
