[NET]: convert network timestamps to ktime_t

We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
sock.

This has some drawbacks :
- Fixed resolution of micro second.
- Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16

I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.

As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)

Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)

Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this
syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0)

17 years ago[TCP]: FRTO undo response falls back to ratehalving one if ECEd
Ilpo Järvinen [Fri, 2 Mar 2007 21:34:19 +0000 (13:34 -0800)]
[TCP]: FRTO undo response falls back to ratehalving one if ECEd

Undoing ssthresh is disabled in fastretrans_alert whenever
FLAG_ECE is set by clearing prior_ssthresh. The clearing does
not protect FRTO because FRTO operates before fastretrans_alert.
Moving the clearing of prior_ssthresh earlier seems to be a
suboptimal solution to the FRTO case because then FLAG_ECE will
cause a second ssthresh reduction in try_to_open (the first
occurred when FRTO was entered). So instead, FRTO falls back
immediately to the rate halving response, which switches TCP to
CA_CWR state preventing the latter reduction of ssthresh.

If the first ECE arrived before the ACK after which FRTO is able
to decide RTO as spurious, prior_ssthresh is already cleared.
Thus no undoing for ssthresh occurs. Besides, FLAG_ECE should be
set also in the following ACKs resulting in rate halving response
that sees TCP is already in CA_CWR, which again prevents an extra
ssthresh reduction on that round-trip.

If the first ECE arrived before RTO, ssthresh has already been
adapted and prior_ssthresh remains cleared on entry because TCP
is in CA_CWR (the same applies also to a case where FRTO is
entered more than once and ECE comes in the middle).

High_seq must not be touched after tcp_enter_cwr because CWR
round-trip calculation depends on it.

I believe that after this patch, FRTO should be ECN-safe and
even able to take advantage of synergy benefits.

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.

[TCP] FRTO: fixes fallback to conventional recovery

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.

as soon as FRTO starts to ignore some ACKs (doing that in the

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

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41

Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen: if two

potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the

reiserfs: fix xattr root locking/refcount bug

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

[PATCH] x86: Remove noreplacement option

noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the
context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume
SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with
FNSAVE and cause corruption.

Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia
reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time.

draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-07.txt is not entirely clear on how the length
value of the pseudo header should be calculated, it states "The Header Length

8 octets units.", but also states "Length in octets (Header Len + 1) * 8".
draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-08-pre1.txt [1] clarifies this, the header length
should not include the first 8 byte.

This change affects backwards compatibility, but option encapsulation didn't
work until very recently anyway.
