This patchset adds the capability to disable hardware VLAN filtering at

This patch series is the third version (see below link to V2) of the

Last I checked, ping did not do an SO_BINDTODEVICE even if you did -i ethX.
I think it just looked up the IP for that port and treated it as -i a.b.c.d.
That said,
The sock_copy() function uses memcpy() to clone the socket
including the struct ip_mc_socklist *mc_list pointer.
The ip_mc_drop_socket() function is called when socket is closed
to free these objects leaving the other sockets cloned from the
same master socket with invalid pointers.

Hi Dave,
While testing frto with bidirection TCP a while (months) ago, I
encountered time-seq graphs which made absolutely no sense as if
recoveries only completed after RTO. As a result, I noticed that
rate-halving has problem when a flow is bidirection but testing the
patch has been on my
Actually, the ratehalving seems to work too well, as cwnd is
reduced on every second ACK even though the packets in flight
remains unchanged. Recoveries in a bidirectional flows suffer
quite badly because of this, both NewReno and SACK are affected.
After this patch, rate halving is performed
It's possible that new SACK blocks that should trigger new LOST
markings arrive with new data (which previously made is_dupack
false). In addition, I think this fixes a case where we get
a cumulative ACK with enough SACK blocks to trigger the fast
recovery (is_dupack would be false there too).
Here is a quick reply before something more official can
be written up:

Are these queued for 2.6.24, or are they going to make it into
2.6.23? I know you're busy with patches and NAPI, but I was

If the driver wants a simple solution, it can do what you did in the
patch: wrap the tx cleanup code with netif_tx_lock() and
netif_tx_unlock().
