* [PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_tChristoph Lameter2006-12-072-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [DCCP] tfrc: Binary search for reverse TFRC lookupGerrit Renker2006-12-031-14/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the linear search algorithm for reverse lookup with binary search. It has the advantage of better scalability: O(log2(N)) instead of O(N). This means that the average number of iterations is reduced from 250 (linear search if each value appears equally likely) down to at most 9.

* [DCCP] tfrc: Identify TFRC table limits and simplify codeGerrit Renker2006-12-031-9/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This * adds documentation about the lowest resolution that is possible within the bounds of the current lookup table * defines a constant TFRC_SMALLEST_P which defines this resolution * issues a warning if a given value of p is below resolution * combines two previously adjacent if-blocks of nearly identical structure into one This patch does not change the algorithm as such.

* [DCCP] tfrc: Add protection against invalid parameters to TFRC routinesGerrit Renker2006-12-031-14/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) For the forward X_calc lookup, it * protects effectively against RTT=0 (this case is possible), by returning the maximal lookup value instead of just setting it to 1 * reformulates the array-bounds exceeded condition: this only happens if p is greater than 1E6 (due to the scaling) * the case of negative indices can now with certainty be excluded, since documentation shows that the formulas are within bounds * additional protection against p = 0 (would give divide-by-zero) 2) For the reverse lookup, it warns against * protects against exceeding array bounds * now returns 0 if f(p) = 0, due to function definition * warns about minimal resolution error and returns the smallest table value instead of p=0 [this would mask congestion conditions] 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>
* [DCCP] tfrc: Fix small error in reverse lookup of p for given f(p)Gerrit Renker2006-12-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the following small error in tfrc_calc_x_reverse_lookup. 1) The table is generated by the following equations: lookup[index][0] = g((index+1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE); lookup[index][1] = g((index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE); where g(q) is 1E6 * f(q/1E6) 2) The reverse lookup assigns an entry in lookup[index][small] 3) This index needs to match the above, i.e. * if small=0 then p = (index + 1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE * if small=1 then p = (index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE These are exactly the changes that the patch makes; previously the code did not conform to the way the lookup table was generated (this difference resulted in a mean error of about 1.12%).

* [DCCP] tfrc: Document boundaries and limits of the TFRC lookup tableGerrit Renker2006-12-031-56/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds documentation for the TCP Reno throughput equation which is at the heart of the TFRC sending rate / loss rate calculations. It spells out precisely how the values were determined and what they mean. The equations were derived through reverse engineering and found to be fully accurate (verified using test programs). This patch does not change any code.

* [DCCP]: Simplified conditions due to use of enum:8 statesGerrit Renker2006-12-022-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reaps the benefit of the earlier patch, which changed the type of CCID 3 states to use enums, in that many conditions are now simplified and the number of possible (unexpected) values is greatly reduced. In a few instances, this also allowed to simplify pre-conditions; where care has been taken to retain logical equivalence. [DCCP]: Introduce a consistent BUG/WARN message scheme This refines the existing set of DCCP messages so that * BUG(), BUG_ON(), WARN_ON() have meaningful DCCP-specific counterparts * DCCP_CRIT (for severe warnings) is not rate-limited * DCCP_WARN() is introduced as rate-limited wrapper Using these allows a faster and cleaner transition to their original counterparts once the code has matured into a full DCCP implementation.

* [DCCP]: Fix CCID3Ian McDonald2006-08-264-161/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes CCID3 to give much closer performance to RFC4342. CCID3 is meant to alter sending rate based on RTT and loss. The performance was verified against: http://wand.net.nz/~perry/max_download.php For example I tested with netem and had the following parameters: Delayed Acks 1, MSS 256 bytes, RTT 105 ms, packet loss 5%. This gives a theoretical speed of 71.9 Kbits/s. I measured across three runs with this patch set and got 70.1 Kbits/s. Without this patchset the average was 232 Kbits/s which means Linux can't be used for CCID3 research properly. I also tested with netem turned off so box just acting as router with 1.2 msec RTT. The performance with this is the same with or without the patch at around 30 Mbit/s. Signed off by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1Al Viro2005-10-082-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | I'll now take a look at the other proposed TFRC DCCP CCIDs to find more code that is now in ccid3.c and move to this module, the loss event rate, calc_X, etc most probably will be moved there. The main goal of these changes is to pave the way for the implementation of more TFRC based DCCP CCIDs and to shrink ccid3.c, reducing its complexity and helping in getting it rock solid.

And put this into net/dccp/ccids/lib/, where packet_history.[ch] will also be moved and then we'll have a tfrc_lib.ko module that will be used by dccp_ccid3.ko and other CCIDs that are variations of TFRC (RFC 3448).
