The tun driver allocates skb's to hold data from user and then passes
the data into the network stack as received data. Most network devices
allocate the receive skb with routines like dev_alloc_skb() that reserves
additional space for use by network protocol stack but tun does not.
Because of the lack of padding, when the packet is passed through bridge
netfilter a new skb has to be allocated.

If iSCSI is not supported on a bnx2 device, bnx2_cnic_probe() will
return NULL and the cnic device will not be visible to bnx2i. This
will prevent bnx2i from registering and then unregistering during
cnic_start() and cause the warning message:

During NETDEV_UP, we use symbol_get() to get the net driver's cnic
probe function. This sometimes doesn't work if NETDEV_UP happens
right after NETDEV_REGISTER and the net driver is still running module
init code. As a result, the cnic device may not be discovered. We
fix this by probing on all NETDEV events if the device's netif_running
state is up.

During iSCSI connection terminations, if the target is also terminating
at about the same time, the firmware may not complete the driver's

Andi Kleen and Tim Chen reported huge contention on inetpeer
unused_peers.lock, on memcached workload on a 40 core machine, with
disabled route cache.
It appears we constantly flip peers refcnt between 0 and 1 values, and
we must insert/remove peers from unused_peers.list, holding a contended
spinlock.
Remove this list completely and perform a garbage collection on-the-fly,
at lookup time, using the expired nodes we met during the tree
traversal.
This removes a lot of code, makes locking more standard, and obsoletes
two sysctls (inet_peer_gc_mintime and inet_peer_gc_maxtime). This also
removes two pointers in inet_peer structure.
There is still a false sharing effect because refcnt is in first cache
line of object [were the links and keys used by lookups are located], we
might move it at the end of inet_peer structure to let this first cache
line mostly read by cpus.

This patch lowers the default initRTO from 3secs to 1sec per
RFC2988bis. It falls back to 3secs if the SYN or SYN-ACK packet
has been retransmitted, AND the TCP timestamp option is not on.
It also adds support to take RTT sample during 3WHS on the passive
open side, just like its active open counterpart, and uses it, if
valid, to seed the initRTO for the data transmission phase.
The patch also resets ssthresh to its initial default at the
beginning of the data transmission phase, and reduces cwnd to 1 if
there has been MORE THAN ONE retransmission during 3WHS per RFC5681.

This change is meant to remove all support for displaying an ntuple as
strings via ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE. The reason for this change is due to the
fact that multiple issues have been found including:
- Multiple buffer overruns for strings being displayed.
- Incorrect filters displayed, cleared filters with ring of -2 are displayed
- Setting get_rx_ntuple displays no rules if defined.
- Endianess wrong on displayed values.
- Hard limit of 1024 filters makes display functionality extremely limited
The only driver that had supported this interface was ixgbe. Since it no
longer uses the interface and due to the issues mentioned above I am
submitting this patch to remove it.
v2:
Updated based on comments from Ben Hutchings
- Left ETH_SS_NTUPLE_FILTERS in code but commented on it being deprecated
- Removed ethtool_rx_ntuple_list and ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec_container
- Left ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE but commented it as deprecated
Also cleaned up set_rx_ntuple since there is no flow spec container to
maintain we can drop all the code for the alloc and free of it and just
return ops->set_rx_ntuple().

Some devices support BT/WLAN co-existence algorigthms.
In order not to harm the system performance and user experience, the device
requests not to allow any RX BA session and tear down existing RX BA sessions
based on system constraints such as periodic BT activity that needs to limit
WLAN activity (eg.SCO or A2DP).
In such cases, the intention is to limit the duration of the RX PPDU and
therefore prevent the peer device to use A-MPDU aggregation.

This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.
These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:
vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110
patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946
This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:
patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683
However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
