This patch updates all four ioscheds to use generic dispatch
queue.  There's one behavior change in as-iosched.

* In as-iosched, when force dispatching
  (ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK), batch_data_dir is reset to REQ_SYNC
  and changed_batch and new_batch are cleared to zero.  This
  prevernts AS from doing incorrect update_write_batch after
  the forced dispatched requests are finished.

* In cfq-iosched, cfqd->rq_in_driver currently counts the
  number of activated (removed) requests to determine
  whether queue-kicking is needed and cfq_max_depth has been
  reached.  With generic dispatch queue, I think counting
  the number of dispatched requests would be more appropriate.

* cfq_max_depth can be lowered to 1 again.

NFS: nfs_lookup doesn't need to revalidate the parent directory's inode

 nfs_lookup() used to consult a lookup cache before trying an actual wire
 lookup operation.  The lookup cache would be invalid, of course, if the
 parent directory's mtime had changed, so nfs_lookup performed an inode
 revalidation on the parent.

 Since nfs_lookup() doesn't use a cache anymore, the revalidation is no
 longer necessary.  There are cases where it will generate a lot of
 unnecessary GETATTR traffic.

 See http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9

 Use lndir and "rm -rf" and watch for excess GETATTR traffic or application

Herbert Xu [Thu, 27 Oct 2005 08:47:46 +0000 (18:47 +1000)]
[TCP]: Clear stale pred_flags when snd_wnd changes

This bug is responsible for causing the infamous "Treason uncloaked"
messages that's been popping up everywhere since the printk was added.
It has usually been blamed on foreign operating systems.  However,
some of those reports implicate Linux as both systems are running
Linux or the TCP connection is going across the loopback interface.

In fact, there really is a bug in the Linux TCP header prediction code
that's been there since at least 2.1.8.  This bug was tracked down with
help from Dale Blount.

The effect of this bug ranges from harmless "Treason uncloaked"
messages to hung/aborted TCP connections.  The details of the bug
and fix is as follows.

When snd_wnd is updated, we only update pred_flags if
tcp_fast_path_check succeeds.  When it fails (for example,
when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with
an out-of-date snd_wnd value.

When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming
packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd
which will be wrong.

In the case of the treason messages, it just happens that the snd_wnd
cached in pred_flags is zero while tp->snd_wnd is non-zero.  Therefore
when a zero-window packet comes in we incorrectly conclude that the
window is non-zero.

In fact if the peer continues to send us zero-window pure ACKs we
will continue making the same mistake.  It's only when the peer
transmits a zero-window packet with data attached that we get a
chance to snap out of it.  This is what triggers the treason
message at the next retransmit timeout.

[NETFILTER] ip_conntrack: Make "hashsize" conntrack parameter writable

It's fairly simple to resize the hash table, but currently you need to
remove and reinsert the module.  That's bad (we lose connection
state).  Harald has even offered to write a daemon which sets this
based on load.

[PKTGEN]: proc interface revision

The code to handle the /proc interface can be cleaned up in several places:
* use seq_file for read
* don't need to remember all the filenames separately
* use for_online_cpu's
* don't vmalloc a buffer for small command from user.

Committer note:
This patch clashed with John Hawkes's "[NET]: Wider use of for_each_*cpu()",
so I fixed it up manually.

[PKTGEN]: Sleeping function called under lock

pktgen is calling kmalloc GFP_KERNEL and vmalloc with lock held.
The simplest fix is to turn the lock into a semaphore, since the
thread lock is only used for admin control from user context.

[NET]: Wider use of for_each_*cpu()

In 'net' change the explicit use of for-loops and NR_CPUS into the
general for_each_cpu() or for_each_online_cpu() constructs, as
appropriate.  This widens the scope of potential future optimizations
of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing
optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is advantageous
when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.
