2996d31f9f net: Stop decapitating clones that have a head_frag
This change is meant ot prevent stealing the skb->head to use as a page in
the event that the skb->head was cloned.  This allows the other clones to
track each other via shinfo->dataref.

Without this we break down to two methods for tracking the reference count,
one being dataref, the other being the page count.  As a result it becomes
difficult to track how many references there are to skb->head.

b081f85c29 net: implement tcp coalescing in tcp_queue_rcv()
Extend tcp coalescing implementing it from tcp_queue_rcv(), the main
receiver function when application is not blocked in recvmsg().

Function tcp_queue_rcv() is moved a bit to allow its call from
tcp_data_queue()

This gives good results especially if GRO could not kick, and if skb
head is a fragment.

923dd347b8 net: take care of cloned skbs in tcp_try_coalesce()
Before stealing fragments or skb head, we must make sure skbs are not
cloned.

Alexander was worried about destination skb being cloned : In bridge
setups, a driver could be fooled if skb->data_len would not match skb
nr_frags.

If source skb is cloned, we must take references on pages instead.

Bug happened using tcpdump (if not using mmap())

Introduce kfree_skb_partial() helper to cleanup code.

750ea2bafa tcp: early retransmit: delayed fast retransmit
Implementing the advanced early retransmit (sysctl_tcp_early_retrans==2).
Delays the fast retransmit by an interval of RTT/4. We borrow the
RTO timer to implement the delay. If we receive another ACK or send
a new packet, the timer is cancelled and restored to original RTO
value offset by time elapsed.  When the delayed-ER timer fires,
we enter fast recovery and perform fast retransmit.

eed530b6c6 tcp: early retransmit
This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP.
It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are
less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout.

While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering
makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter
false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement
a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays
entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently
ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection
after the first reordering event. A large scale web server
experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in
section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”,
IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf

Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The
differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only
used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is
enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if
people think it's a good idea.

ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans:
  0: Disables ER

  1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4.

  2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay
     entering fast recovery by RTT/4.

Note: mode 2 is implemented in the third part of this patch series.

69e1e0197c e1000e: fix .ndo_set_rx_mode for 82579
Secondary unicast and multicast addresses are added to the Receive
Address registers (RAR) for most parts supported by the driver.  For
82579, there is only one actual RAR and a number of Shared Receive Address
registers (SHRAR) that are shared among the driver and f/w which can be
reserved and write-protected by the f/w.  On this device, use the SHRARs
that are not taken by f/w for the additional addresses.

Add a MAC ops function pointer infrastructure (similar to other MAC
operations in the driver) for setting RARs, introduce a new rar_set
function for 82579 and convert the existing code that sets RARs on other
devices to a generic rar_set function.

62bc813e48 e1000e: workaround EEPROM configuration change on 82579
An update to the EEPROM on 82579 will extend a delay in hardware to fix an
issue with WoL not working after a G3->S5 transition which is unrelated to
the driver.  However, this extended delay conflicts with nominal operation
of the device when it is initialized by the driver and after every reset
of the hardware (i.e. the driver starts configuring the device before the
hardware is done with it's own configuration work).  The workaround for
when the driver is in control of the device is to tell the hardware after
every reset the configuration delay should be the original shorter one.

Some pre-existing variables are renamed generically to be re-used with
new register accesses.

d344c4f310 pch_gbe: reprogram multicast address register on reset
The reset logic after a Rx FIFO overrun will clear the programmed
multicast addresses. This patch fixes the issue by reprogramming the
registers after the reset.

The commit eefc48b ("pch_gbe: reprogram multicast address register on
reset") tried to fix this problem, but it introduces unnecessary
codes. In fact, all multicast addresses have been saved in netdev->mc,
So we can call pch_gbe_set_multi() directly after reset_hw and
reset_rx.

This commit kills 50+ line codes

1d0c0b328a net: makes skb_splice_bits() aware of skb->head_frag
__skb_splice_bits() can check if skb to be spliced has its skb->head
mapped to a page fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.

If so we can avoid a copy of the skb head and get a reference on
underlying page.

329033f645 tcp: makes tcp_try_coalesce aware of skb->head_frag
TCP coalesce can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a
page fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.

We had to disable coalescing in this case, for performance reasons.

We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself.

This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copies, since a
less sk_buff are fetched.

This makes receive and ofo queues shorter and thus reduce cache line
misses in TCP stack.

This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"

Tested with tg3 nic, with GRO on or off. We can see "TCPRcvCoalesce"
counter being incremented.

d7e8883cfc net: make GRO aware of skb->head_frag
GRO can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a page
fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.

We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself

This avoids the frag_list fallback, and permits to build true GRO skb
(one sk_buff and up to 16 fragments), using less memory.

This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copy, since a
single sk_buff is fetched.

This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"

8d4057a938 tg3: provide frags as skb head
This patch converts tg3 driver, one of our reference drivers, to use new
build_skb() api in frag mode.

Instead of using kmalloc() to allocate the memory block that will be
used by build_skb() as skb->head, we use a page fragment.

This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"

This allows GRO, TCP coalescing, and splice() to be more efficient.

Incidentally, this also removes SLUB slow path contention in kfree()
