tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration

MMC: Performance improvement for CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_BOUNCE
This patch will increase performance significantly.It is supposed that
larger/bounce buffers will be used by mmc core if CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_BOUNCE is
defined. But, in the mmc core, size of buffer is set to mmc->max_req_size if
mmc->max_req_size is smaller than MMC_QUEUE_BOUNCESZ i.e. bounce buffer size
(which is 64KB).By default, mmc->max_req_size is set to 4K. So, buffers of 4K
will be used instead of 64K even if CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_BOUNCE is defined without
this patch. This patches forces mmc core to use bounce buffer of size
MMC_QUEUE_BOUNCESZ and so performance is increased.
In my test environment, write and Read speed without this patch was
2.6Mbytes/sec and 2.7Mbytes/sec respectively whereas write and read performance
with this patch has jumped to 4.4Mbytes/sec and 5MBytes/sec, respectively.

There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
sorts of bad things to happen.

Driver core: add device_create_vargs and device_create_drvdata
We want to have the drvdata field set properly when creating the device
as sysfs callbacks can assume it is present and it can race the later
setting of this field.
So, create two new functions, deviec_create_vargs() and
device_create_drvdata() that take this new field.
device_create_drvdata() will go away in 2.6.27 as the drvdata field will
just be moved to the device_create() call as it should be.
