netxen: write IP address to firmware when using bonding
This patch allows LRO aggregation on bonded devices that contain an
NX3031 device. It also adds a for_each_netdev_in_bond_rcu(bond, slave)
macro which executes for each slave that has bond as master.
V3: After testing and discussing this with Rajesh, I decided to keep the
vlan ip cache and just rename it to ip_cache since it will store bond
ip addresses too. A new master flag has been added to the ip cache to
denote that the address has been added because of a master device.
I've taken care of the enslave/release cases by checking for various
combinations of events and flags (e.g. netxen has a master, it's a
bond master and it's not marked as a slave means it is being enslaved
and is dev_open()ed in bond_enslave).
I've changed netxen_free_ip_list() to have a "master" parameter which
causes all IP addresses marked as master to be deleted (used when a
netxen is being released). I've made the patch use the new upper
device API as well. The following cases were tested:
- bond -> netxen
- vlan -> netxen
- vlan -> bond -> netxen
V2: Remove local ip caching, retrieve addresses dynamically and
restore them if necessary.

When receiving a network coded packet, the decoding buffer is searched

To be able to decode a network coded packet, a node must already know

Packets are kept in a buffer similar to the one with forward-skbs: A

Before adding forward-skbs to the coding buffer, the buffer is searched

Network coded packets are transmitted with information about the two
receivers and the two coded packets. The first receiver is given by the
MAC header, while the second is given in the payload/bat-header. The
second receiver uses promiscuous mode to receive the packet and check
the second destination.

Two be able to network code two packets, one packet must be buffered
until the next is available. This is done in a "coding buffer", which is
essentially a hash table with lists of packets. Each entry in the hash
table corresponds to a specific src-dst pair, which has a linked list of
packets that are buffered.
This patch adds skbs to the buffer just before forwarding them. The
buffer is traversed every 10 ms, where timed skbs are removed from the
buffer and transmitted. To allow experiments with the network coding
scheme, the timeout is tunable through a file in debugfs.

batman-adv: network coding - detect coding nodes and remove these after timeout
To use network coding efficiently, a relay must know when neighbor nodes
are likely to have enough information to be able to decode a network
coded packet. This is detected by using OGMs from batman-adv to discover
when one neighbor is in range of another neighbor. The relay check the
TLL to detect when an OGM is forwarded from one neighbor by another
neighbor, and thereby knows that the two neighbors are in range and thus
overhear packets sent by each other.
This information is saved in the orig_node struct to be used when
searching for coding opportunities. Two lists are added to the
orig_node struct: One for neighbors that can hear the orig_node
(outgoing nc_nodes) and one for neighbors that the orig_node can hear
(incoming nc_nodes).
Information about nc_nodes is kept for 10 seconds and is available
through debugfs in batman_adv/nc_nodes to use when debugging network
coding.

batman-adv: network coding - add the initial infrastructure code
Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple
packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR
two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The
receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded
packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased
throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay.
In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions
without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one
from Node B to Node A:
1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B
2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B
3. Node A <--- p2 ---- Node R Node B
4. Node A Node R ---- p1 ---> Node B
With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves
us one slot of valuable airtime:
1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B
2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B
3. Node A <- p1 x p2 - Node R - p1 x p2 -> Node B
The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the
packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D,
respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save
one transmission:
Node A Node B
| \ / |
| p1 p2 |
| \ / |
p1 > Node R < p2
| |
| / \ |
| p1 x p2 p1 x p2 |
v / \ v
/ \
Node C < > Node D
More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1].
This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in
batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a
sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by
default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and
also because it adds a small delay at each hop.

This is the second of the TLP patch series; it augments the basic TLP
algorithm with a loss detection scheme.
This patch implements a mechanism for loss detection when a Tail
loss probe retransmission plugs a hole thereby masking packet loss
from the sender. The loss detection algorithm relies on counting
TLP dupacks as outlined in Sec. 3 of:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01
The basic idea is: Sender keeps track of TLP "episode" upon
retransmission of a TLP packet. An episode ends when the sender receives
an ACK above the SND.NXT (tracked by tlp_high_seq) at the time of the
episode. We want to make sure that before the episode ends the sender
receives a "TLP dupack", indicating that the TLP retransmission was
unnecessary, so there was no loss/hole that needed plugging. If the
sender gets no TLP dupack before the end of the episode, then it reduces
ssthresh and the congestion window, because the TLP packet arriving at
the receiver probably plugged a hole.

This patch series implement the Tail loss probe (TLP) algorithm described
in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01. The
first patch implements the basic algorithm.
TLP's goal is to reduce tail latency of short transactions. It achieves
this by converting retransmission timeouts (RTOs) occuring due
to tail losses (losses at end of transactions) into fast recovery.
TLP transmits one packet in two round-trips when a connection is in
Open state and isn't receiving any ACKs. The transmitted packet, aka
loss probe, can be either new or a retransmission. When there is tail
loss, the ACK from a loss probe triggers FACK/early-retransmit based
fast recovery, thus avoiding a costly RTO. In the absence of loss,
there is no change in the connection state.
PTO stands for probe timeout. It is a timer event indicating
that an ACK is overdue and triggers a loss probe packet. The PTO value
is set to max(2*SRTT, 10ms) and is adjusted to account for delayed
ACK timer when there is only one oustanding packet.
TLP Algorithm
On transmission of new data in Open state:
-> packets_out > 1: schedule PTO in max(2*SRTT, 10ms).
-> packets_out == 1: schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms)
-> PTO = min(PTO, RTO)
Conditions for scheduling PTO:
-> Connection is in Open state.
-> Connection is either cwnd limited or no new data to send.
-> Number of probes per tail loss episode is limited to one.
-> Connection is SACK enabled.
When PTO fires:
new_segment_exists:
-> transmit new segment.
-> packets_out++. cwnd remains same.
no_new_packet:
-> retransmit the last segment.
Its ACK triggers FACK or early retransmit based recovery.
ACK path:
-> rearm RTO at start of ACK processing.
-> reschedule PTO if need be.
In addition, the patch includes a small variation to the Early Retransmit
(ER) algorithm, such that ER and TLP together can in principle recover any
N-degree of tail loss through fast recovery. TLP is controlled by the same
sysctl as ER, tcp_early_retrans sysctl.
tcp_early_retrans==0; disables TLP and ER.
==1; enables RFC5827 ER.
==2; delayed ER.
==3; TLP and delayed ER. [DEFAULT]
==4; TLP only.
The TLP patch series have been extensively tested on Google Web servers.
It is most effective for short Web trasactions, where it reduced RTOs by 15%
and improved HTTP response time (average by 6%, 99th percentile by 10%).
The transmitted probes account for <0.5% of the overall transmissions.

bnx2x: Set ethtool ops for vfs
Virtual functions don't have access to HW registers, therefore most ethtool ops
are forbidden to them. Instead of checking in each op whether the device being
driven is a virtual function or a physical function, this patch creates a
separate ethtool ops struct for virtual functions and uses it to initialize
the ethtool ops of the driver in case it is driving a virtual function device.
