2005-06-23[NET]: Zerocopy sequential reading of skb dataThomas Graf2-0/+135
Implements sequential reading for both linear and non-linear skb data at zerocopy cost. The data is returned in chunks of arbitary length, therefore random access is not possible. Usage: from := 0 to := 128 state := undef data := undef len := undef consumed := 0 skb_prepare_seq_read(skb, from, to, &state) while (len = skb_seq_read(consumed, &data, &state)) != 0 do /* do something with 'data' of length 'len' */ if abort then /* abort read if we don't wait for * skb_seq_read() to return 0 */ skb_abort_seq_read(&state) return endif /* not necessary to consume all of 'len' */ consumed += len done Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-06-23[LIB]: Naive finite state machine based textsearchThomas Graf4-0/+398
A finite state machine consists of n states (struct ts_fsm_token) representing the pattern as a finite automation. The data is read sequentially on a octet basis. Every state token specifies the number of recurrences and the type of value accepted which can be either a specific character or ctype based set of characters. The available type of recurrences include 1, (0|1), [0 n], and [1 n]. The algorithm differs between strict/non-strict mode specyfing whether the pattern has to start at the first octect. Strict mode is enabled by default and can be disabled by inserting TS_FSM_HEAD_IGNORE as the first token in the chain. The runtime performance of the algorithm should be around O(n), however while in strict mode the average runtime can be better. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-06-23[LIB]: Knuth-Morris-Pratt textsearch algorithmThomas Graf3-0/+156
Implements a linear-time string-matching algorithm due to Knuth, Morris, and Pratt [1]. Their algorithm avoids the explicit computation of the transition function DELTA altogether. Its matching time is O(n), for n being length(text), using just an auxiliary function PI[1..m], for m being length(pattern), precomputed from the pattern in time O(m). The array PI allows the transition function DELTA to be computed efficiently "on the fly" as needed. Roughly speaking, for any state "q" = 0,1,...,m and any character "a" in SIGMA, the value PI["q"] contains the information that is independent of "a" and is needed to compute DELTA("q", "a") [2]. Since the array PI has only m entries, whereas DELTA has O(m|SIGMA|) entries, we save a factor of |SIGMA| in the preprocessing time by computing PI rather than DELTA.

2005-06-23[NET]: Eliminate netif_rx massive packet drops.Stephen Hemminger2-22/+3
Eliminate the throttling behaviour when the netif receive queue fills because it behaves badly when using high speed networks under load. The throttling cause multiple packet drops that cause TCP to go into slow start mode. The same effective patch has been part of BIC TCP and H-TCP as well as part of Web100. The existing code drops 100's of packets when the queue fills; this changes it to individual packet drop-tail. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemmminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-06-23[NET]: Remove obsolete netif_rx congestion sensing mechanism.Stephen Hemminger3-125/+1
Remove the congestion sensing mechanism from netif_rx, and always return either full or empty. Almost no driver checks the return value from netif_rx, and those that do only use it for debug messages. The original design of netif_rx was to do flow control based on the receive queue, but NAPI has supplanted this and no driver uses the feedback.

2005-06-23[TCP]: Add H-TCP congestion control module.Baruch Even3-0/+303
H-TCP is a congestion control algorithm developed at the Hamilton Institute, by Douglas Leith and Robert Shorten. It is extending the standard Reno algorithm with mode switching is thus a relatively simple modification. H-TCP is defined in a layered manner as it is still a research platform. The basic form includes the modification of beta according to the ratio of maxRTT to min RTT and the alpha=2*factor*(1-beta) relation, where factor is dependant on the time since last congestion. The other layers improve convergence by adding appropriate factors to alpha. The following patch implements the H-TCP algorithm in it's basic form.

TCP Hybla congestion avoidance. - "In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a terrestrial or satellite radio link are greatly disadvantaged with respect to entirely wired connections, because of their longer round trip times (RTTs). To cope with this problem, a new TCP proposal, the TCP Hybla, is presented and discussed in the paper[1]. It stems from an analytical evaluation of the congestion window dynamics in the TCP standard versions (Tahoe, Reno, NewReno), which suggests the necessary modifications to remove the performance dependence on RTT.[...]"[1] [1]: Carlo Caini, Rosario Firrincieli, "TCP Hybla: a TCP enhancement for heterogeneous networks", International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking Volume 22, Issue 5 , Pages 547 - 566.

2005-06-23[PATCH] IDE CD reports current speedEric Piel1-40/+49
The current ide-cd driver reports the CDROM speed (as found in /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info) as the current speed when loading the driver. Changing the speed of the cdrom drive (by "eject -x" for instance) doesn't update the speed reported by the kernel. Updating the info could be valuable for the user as it's the only way to know if the drive accepted the request or discarded it. It could even be used to list all the available speeds of the drive. The attached patch modifies the ide-cd driver so that after every speed change request the new speed is updated. Please note that the actual modification is very little but I had to touch quite a few lines in order to avoid to pre-declare the sub-functions.

2005-06-23[PATCH] Bug in error recovery in fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write()Anton Altaparmakov1-4/+8
fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write() has broken error recovery. It calls the get_block() callback with "create = 1" and if that succeeds it immediately clears buffer_new on the just allocated buffer (which has buffer_new set). The bug is that if an error occurs and get_block() returns != 0, we break from this loop and go into recovery code. This code has this comment: /* Error case: */ /* * Zero out any newly allocated blocks to avoid exposing stale * data. If BH_New is set, we know that the block was newly * allocated in the above loop. */ So the intent is obviously good in that it wants to clear just allocated and hence not zeroed buffers. However the code recognises allocated buffers by checking for buffer_new being set. Unfortunately __block_prepare_write() as discussed above already cleared buffer_new on all allocated buffers thus no buffers will be cleared during error recovery and old data will be leaked. The simplest way I can see to fix this is to make the current recovery code work by _not_ clearing buffer_new after calling get_block() in __block_prepare_write(). We cannot safely allow buffer_new buffers to "leak out" of __block_prepare_write(), thus we simply do a quick loop over the buffers clearing buffer_new on each of them if it is set just before returning "success" from __block_prepare_write().

2005-06-23[PATCH] block: add unlocked_ioctl support for block devicesArnd Bergmann3-23/+57
This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems. All functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves. As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as well, which looks like a bug. I have checked that every user of disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().
