With increasing receive window sizes, but speed of light not improved
that much, out of order queue can contain a huge number of skbs, waiting
to be moved to receive_queue when missing packets can fill the holes.
Some devices happen to use fat skbs (truesize of 4096 + sizeof(struct
sk_buff)) to store regular (MTU <= 1500) frames. This makes highly
probable sk_rmem_alloc hits sk_rcvbuf limit, which can be 4Mbytes in
many cases.
When limit is hit, tcp stack calls tcp_collapse_ofo_queue(), a true
latency killer and cpu cache blower.
Doing the coalescing attempt each time we add a frame in ofo queue
permits to keep memory use tight and in many cases avoid the
tcp_collapse() thing later.
Tested on various wireless setups (b43, ath9k, ...) known to use big skb
truesize, this patch removed the "packets collapsed in receive queue due
to low socket buffer" I had before.
This also reduced average memory used by tcp sockets.

Correctly implement a loss detection heuristic: New sequences (above
high_seq) sent during the fast recovery are deemed lost when higher
sequences are SACKed.
Current code does not catch these losses, because tcp_mark_head_lost()
does not check packets beyond high_seq. The fix is straight-forward by
checking packets until the highest sacked packet. In addition, all the
FLAG_DATA_LOST logic are in-effective and redundant and can be removed.
Update the loss heuristic comments. The algorithm above is documented
as heuristic B, but it is redundant too because heuristic A already
covers B.
Note that this change only marks some forward-retransmitted packets LOST.
It does NOT forbid TCP performing further CWR on new losses. A potential
follow-up patch under preparation is to perform another CWR on "new"
losses such as
1) sequence above high_seq is lost (by resetting high_seq to snd_nxt)
2) retransmission is lost.

"Possible SYN flooding on port xxxx " messages can fill logs on servers.
Change logic to log the message only once per listener, and add two new
SNMP counters to track :
TCPReqQFullDoCookies : number of times a SYNCOOKIE was replied to client
TCPReqQFullDrop : number of times a SYN request was dropped because
syncookies were not enabled.

Christoph Lameter mentioned that packets could be dropped in input path
because of rp_filter settings, without any SNMP counter being
incremented. System administrator can have a hard time to track the
problem.
This patch introduces a new counter, LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER, incremented
each time we drop a packet because Reverse Path Filter triggers.
(We receive an IPv4 datagram on a given interface, and find the route to
send an answer would use another interface)
netstat -s | grep IPReversePathFilter
IPReversePathFilter: 21714

When ip_append() fails because of socket limit or memory shortage,
increment ICMP_MIB_OUTERRORS counter, so that "netstat -s" can report
these errors.

0 ICMP messages failed
For IPV6, implement ICMP6_MIB_OUTERRORS counter as well.

Its currently hard to diagnose when ACK frames are dropped because an
application set TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT on its listening socket.
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15507
This patch adds a SNMP value, named TCPDeferAcceptDrop
netstat -s | grep TCPDeferAcceptDrop
TCPDeferAcceptDrop: 0
This counter is incremented every time we drop a pure ACK frame received
by a socket in SYN_RECV state because its SYNACK retrans count is lower
than defer_accept value.

Background: RFC 4293 deprecates existing individual, named ICMP
type counters to be replaced with the ICMPMsgStatsTable. This table
includes entries for both IPv4 and IPv6, and requires counting of all
ICMP types, whether or not the machine implements the type.
These patches "remove" (but not really) the existing counters, and
replace them with the ICMPMsgStats tables for v4 and v6.
It includes the named counters in the /proc places they were, but gets the
values for them from the new tables. It also counts packets generated
from raw socket output (e.g., OutEchoes, MLD queries, RA's from
radvd, etc).
Changes:
1) create icmpmsg_statistics mib
2) create icmpv6msg_statistics mib
3) modify existing counters to use these
4) modify /proc/net/snmp to add "IcmpMsg" with all ICMP types
listed by number for easy SNMP parsing
5) modify /proc/net/snmp printing for "Icmp" to get the named data
from new counters.

In DSACK case, some events are not extraordinary, such as packet
duplication generated DSACK. They can arrive easily below
snd_una when undo_marker is not set (TCP being in CA_Open),
counting such DSACKs amoung SACK discards will likely just
mislead if they occur in some scenario when there are other
problems as well. Similarly, excessively delayed packets could
cause "normal" DSACKs. Therefore, separate counters are
allocated for DSACK events.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
