This is a resubmission to fix a problem with accounting for Ack Vector length in the MPS. The present solution did not work well: the MPS did not account for Ack Vectors, so that applications which relied on the MPS value via getopt were disadvantaged by having all their Ack Vectors put onto Syncs -- sorely degrading performance. Found out by testing with gstreamer DCCP plugin. Hence the revision of these two patches implements a new strategy -- it now * subtracts an estimated minimum from the MPS - currently set to 16 bytes (found via experimentation) and * schedules a Sync only if the actual length is greater than this minimum _and_ there is no space left on the skb. Patch #1: Is the revised version of the account-for-option-sizes-in-MPS patch. Patch #2: Is the revised "exception handler" for overly large Ack Vectors. Both patches have been uploaded to the test tree on git://eden-feed.erg.abnd.ac.uk/dccp_exp [dccp] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dccp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
