rt2x00: Fix TX failure path

The callback function write_tx_data() can only fail
when our ENTRY_OWNER_DEVICE_DATA flag on a queue entry
failed to determine the entry was not available and
it is in fact still owned by the hardware.
This means that if that function fails the queue
must be stopped in mac80211.

When rt2x00queue_get_queue() returns NULL in the TX
path, it means mac80211 has passed us an invalid queue,
although this should be impossible, it shouldn't hurt
if we send mac80211 a signal to stop the queue either.

Both issues can simply be resolved by removing their

16 years agotcp: Try to restore large SKBs while SACK processing
Ilpo Järvinen [Tue, 25 Nov 2008 05:20:15 +0000 (21:20 -0800)]
tcp: Try to restore large SKBs while SACK processing

During SACK processing, most of the benefits of TSO are eaten by
the SACK blocks that one-by-one fragment SKBs to MSS sized chunks.
Then we're in problems when cleanup work for them has to be done
when a large cumulative ACK comes. Try to return back to pre-split
state already while more and more SACK info gets discovered by
combining newly discovered SACK areas with the previous skb if
that's SACKed as well.

This approach has a number of benefits:

1) The processing overhead is spread more equally over the RTT
2) Write queue has less skbs to process (affect everything
   which has to walk in the queue past the sacked areas)
3) Write queue is consistent whole the time, so no other parts
   of TCP has to be aware of this (this was not the case with
   some other approach that was, well, quite intrusive all
   around).
4) Clean_rtx_queue can release most of the pages using single
   put_page instead of previous PAGE_SIZE/mss+1 calls

In case a hole is fully filled by the new SACK block, we attempt
to combine the next skb too which allows construction of skbs
that are even larger than what tso split them to and it handles
hole per on every nth patterns that often occur during slow start
overshoot pretty nicely. Though this to be really useful also
a retransmission would have to get lost since cumulative ACKs
advance one hole at a time in the most typical case.

TODO: handle upwards only merging. That should be rather easy
when segment is fully sacked but I'm leaving that as future
work item (it won't make very large difference anyway since
this current approach already covers quite a lot of normal
cases).

I was earlier thinking of some sophisticated way of tracking
timestamps of the first and the last segment but later on
realized that it won't be that necessary at all to store the
timestamp of the last segment. The cases that can occur are
basically either:
  1) ambiguous => no sensible measurement can be taken anyway
  2) non-ambiguous is due to reordering => having the timestamp
     of the last segment there is just skewing things more off
     than does some good since the ack got triggered by one of
     the holes (besides some substle issues that would make
     determining right hole/skb even harder problem). Anyway,
     it has nothing to do with this change then.

I choose to route some abnormal looking cases with goto noop,
some could be handled differently (eg., by stopping the
walking at that skb but again). In general, they either
shouldn't happen at all or are rare enough to make no difference
in practice.

In theory this change (as whole) could cause some macroscale
regression (global) because of cache misses that are taken over
the round-trip time but it gets very likely better because of much
less (local) cache misses per other write queue walkers and the
big recovery clearing cumulative ack.

Worth to note that these benefits would be very easy to get also
without TSO/GSO being on as long as the data is in pages so that
we can merge them. Currently I won't let that happen because
DSACK splitting at fragment that would mess up pcounts due to
sk_can_gso in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs. Once DSACKs fragments gets
avoided, we have some conditions that can be made less strict.

TODO: I will probably have to convert the excessive pointer
passing to struct sacktag_state... :-)

My testing revealed that considerable amount of skbs couldn't
be shifted because they were cloned (most likely still awaiting
tx reclaim)...

[The rest is considering future work instead since I got
repeatably EFAULT to tcpdump's recvfrom when I added
pskb_expand_head to deal with clones, so I separated that
into another, later patch]

...To counter that, I gave up on the fifth advantage:

5) When growing previous SACK block, less allocs for new skbs
   are done, basically a new alloc is needed only when new hole
   is detected and when the previous skb runs out of frags space

...which now only happens of if reclaim is fast enough to dispose
the clone before the SACK block comes in (the window is RTT long),
otherwise we'll have to alloc some.

With clones being handled I got these numbers (will be somewhat
worse without that), taken with fine-grained mibs:

                  TCPSackShifted 398

tcp: collapse more than two on retransmission

I always had thought that collapsing up to two at a time was
intentional decision to avoid excessive processing if 1 byte
sized skbs are to be combined for a full mtu, and consecutive
retransmissions would make the size of the retransmittee
double each round anyway, but some recent discussion made me
to understand that was not the case. Thus make collapse work
more and wait less.

It would be possible to take advantage of the shifting
machinery (added in the later patch) in the case of paged
data but that can be implemented on top of this change.
