2006-12-13[SCTP]: Handle address add/delete events in a more efficient way.Sridhar Samudrala
Currently in SCTP, we maintain a local address list by rebuilding the whole list from the device list whenever we get a address add/delete event. This patch fixes it by only adding/deleting the address for which we receive the event. Also removed the sctp_local_addr_lock() which is no longer needed as we now use list_for_each_safe() to traverse this list. This fixes the bugs in sctp_copy_laddrs_xxx() routines where we do copy_to_user() while holding this lock. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-12-13[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: don't drop silently on upcall deferralJ.Bruce Fields
To avoid tying up server threads when nfsd makes an upcall (to mountd, to get export options, to idmapd, for nfsv4 name<->id mapping, etc.), we temporarily "drop" the request and save enough information so that we can revisit it later. Certain failures during the deferral process can cause us to really drop the request and never revisit it. This is often less than ideal, and is unacceptable in the NFSv4 case--rfc 3530 forbids the server from dropping a request without also closing the connection. As a first step, we modify the deferral code to return -ETIMEDOUT (which is translated to nfserr_jukebox in the v3 and v4 cases, and remains a drop in the v2 case). Signed-off-by: J.

2006-12-11[IPVS]: Use msleep_interruptable() instead of ssleep() aka msleep()Simon Horman
Dean Manners notices that when an IPVS synchonisation daemons are started the system load slowly climbs up to 1. This seems to be related to the call to ssleep(1) (aka msleep(1000) in the main loop. Replacing this with a call to msleep_interruptable() seems to make the problem go away. Though I'm not sure that it is correct. This is the second edition of this patch, which replaces ssleep() in the main loop for both the master and backup threads, as well as some thread synchronisation code.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Perform history operations only after packet has been sentGerrit Renker
This migrates all packet history operations into the routine ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent, thereby removing synchronization problems that occur when, as before, the operations are spread over multiple routines. The following minor simplifications are also applied: * several simplifications now follow from this change - several tests are now no longer required * removal of one unnecessary variable (dp) Justification: Currently packet history operations span two different routines, one of which is likely to pass through several iterations of sleeping and awakening. The first routine, ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet, allocates an entry and sets a few fields. The remaining fields are filled in when the second routine (which is not within a sleeping context), ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent, is called. This has several strong drawbacks: * it is not necessary to split history operations - all fields can be filled in by the second routine * the first routine is called multiple times, until a packet can be sent, and sleeps meanwhile - this causes a lot of difficulties with regard to keeping the list consistent * since both routines do not have a producer-consumer like synchronization, it is very difficult to maintain data across calls to these routines * the fact that the routines are called in different contexts (sleeping, not sleeping) adds further problems Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Acked-by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Shift window counter computationGerrit Renker
This puts the window counter computation [RFC 4342, 8.1] into a separate function which is called whenever a new packet is ready for immediate transmission in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet. Justification: The window counter update was previously computed after the packet was sent. This has two drawbacks, both fixed by this patch: 1) re-compute another timestamp almost directly after the packet was sent (expensive), 2) the CCVal for the window counter is needed at the instant the packet is sent. Further details: The initialisation of the window counter is left in the state NO_SENT, as before. The algorithm will do nothing if either RTT is initialised to 0 (which is ok) or if the RTT value remains below 4 microseconds (which is almost pathological).

CCID3 performance depends much on the accuracy of RTT samples. If RTT samples grow too large, performance can be catastrophically poor. To limit the amount of possible damage in such cases, the patch * introduces an upper limit which identifies a maximum `sane' RTT value; * uses a macro to enforce this upper limit. Using a macro was given preference, since it is necessary to identify the calling function in the warning message. Since exceeding this threshold identifies a critical condition, DCCP_CRIT is used and not DCCP_WARN. Many thanks to Ian McDonald for collaboration on this issue.
