ipv4:correct description for tcp_max_syn_backlog

2011-12-06T18:02:28Z

Since commit c5ed63d66f24(tcp: fix three tcp sysctls tuning), sysctl_max_syn_backlog is determined by tcp_hashinfo->ehash_mask, and the minimal value is 128, and it will increase in proportion to the memory of machine. The original description for tcp_max_syn_backlog and sysctl_max_syn_backlog are out of date.

net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.

2011-12-03T17:35:17Z

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and translate it into packet processing rules. See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace utilities. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

tcp: inherit listener congestion control for passive cnx

2011-11-30T21:55:26Z

Rick Jones reported that TCP_CONGESTION sockopt performed on a listener was ignored for its children sockets : right after accept() the congestion control for new socket is the system default one. This seems an oversight of the initial design (quoted from Stephen) Based on prior investigation and patch from Rick.
