While playing with CoDel and ECN marking, I discovered a
non optimal behavior of receiver of CE (Congestion Encountered)
segments.
In pathological cases, sender has reduced its cwnd to low values,
and receiver delays its ACK (by 40 ms).
While RFC 3168 6.1.3 (The TCP Receiver) doesn't explicitly recommend
to send immediate ACKS, we believe its better to not delay ACKS, because
a CE segment should give same signal than a dropped segment, and its
quite important to reduce RTT to give ECE/CWR signals as fast as
possible.
Note we already call tcp_enter_quickack_mode() from TCP_ECN_check_ce()
if we receive a retransmit, for the same reason.

While doing TCP ECN tests, I discovered GRO was reordering packets if it
receives one packet with CE set, while previous packets in same NAPI run
have ECT(0) for the same flow :
09:25:25.857620 IP (tos 0x2,ECT(0), ttl 64, id 27893, offset 0, flags
[DF], proto TCP (6), length 4396)
172.30.42.19.54550 > 172.30.42.13.44139: Flags [.], seq
233801:238145, ack 1, win 115, options [nop,nop,TS val 3397779 ecr
1990627], length 4344
09:25:25.857626 IP (tos 0x3,CE, ttl 64, id 27892, offset 0, flags [DF],
proto TCP (6), length 1500)
172.30.42.19.54550 > 172.30.42.13.44139: Flags [.], seq
232353:233801, ack 1, win 115, options [nop,nop,TS val 3397779 ecr
1990627], length 1448
09:25:25.857638 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 34581, offset 0, flags [DF],
proto TCP (6), length 64)
172.30.42.13.44139 > 172.30.42.19.54550: Flags [.], cksum 0xac8f
(incorrect -> 0xca69), ack 232353, win 1271, options [nop,nop,TS val
1990627 ecr 3397779,nop,nop,sack 1 {233801:238145}], length 0
We have two problems here :
1) GRO reorders packets
If NIC gave packet1, then packet2, which happen to be from "different
flows" GRO feeds stack with packet2, then packet1. I have yet to
understand how to solve this problem.
2) GRO is not ECN friendly
Delivering packets out of order makes TCP stack not as fast as it could
be.
In this patch I suggest we make the tos test not part of the 'same_flow'
determination, but part of the 'should flush' logic

On an OLPC XO-1.5 we have seen the following situation:
- the system starts going into suspend
- no wake params are set, so the mmc layer removes the card
- during remove, we send a command to the card
- that command fails, causing if_sdio's reset method to try and remove
the mmc card in attempt to reset it
- the mmc layer is not happy about being asked to remove a card that
it is already removing, and the kernel crashes
While the MMC layer could possibly be taught to behave better here,
it also seems sensible for libertas not to try and reset a card if
we're in the process of removing it anyway.

Currently the only way for wireless drivers to tell whether or not OFDM

information. However, this requires hodling cfg80211_mutex, which is not
visible to the drivers.
Other regulatory restrictions are provided as flags in the channel
definition, so let's do similarly with OFDM. This patch adds a new flag,
IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_OFDM, to tell drivers that OFDM on a channel is not
allowed. This flag is set on any channels for which regulatory indicates
that OFDM is prohibited.

Cache the device gso_max_segs in sock::sk_gso_max_segs and use it to

Currently an skb requiring TSO may not fit within a minimum-size TX
queue. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX
watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the
TX reset). This issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412.
Set the maximum number of TSO segments for our devices to 100. This
should make no difference to behaviour unless the actual MSS is less
than about 700. Increase the minimum TX queue size accordingly to
allow for 2 worst-case skbs, so that there will definitely be space
to add an skb after we wake a queue.
To avoid invalidating existing configurations, change
efx_ethtool_set_ringparam() to fix up values that are too small rather
than returning -EINVAL.

A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little
as 88 (actual MSS of 76 with timestamps). Given that we have a
sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough,
it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection
to the point that we will try to send just under 64K at once. This
results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments.
In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of
DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than
a full ring. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger
the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried
after the TX reset). This particularly affects sfc, for which the
issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412.
Therefore:
1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific
limit.
2. In netif_skb_features(), if the number of segments is too high then
mask out GSO features to force fall back to software GSO.

- addition of OMAP DMA engine driver (using these helper functions),

Nothing in the helper functions is ARM specific, so I hope that other
