algorithm described in the paper "Improved coexistence and loss tolerance for
delay based TCP congestion control" by Hayes and Armitage. It is implemented as
a kernel module compatible with the recently committed modular congestion
control framework.
CHD enhances the approach taken by the Hamilton-Delay (HD) algorithm to provide
tolerance to non-congestion related packet loss and improvements to coexistence
with loss-based congestion control algorithms. A key idea in improving
coexistence with loss-based congestion control algorithms is the use of a shadow
window, which attempts to track how NewReno's congestion window (cwnd) would
evolve. At the next packet loss congestion event, CHD uses the shadow window to
correct cwnd in a way that reduces the amount of unfairness CHD experiences when
competing with loss-based algorithms.

algorithm based on the paper "A strategy for fair coexistence of loss and
delay-based congestion control algorithms" by Budzisz, Stanojevic, Shorten and
Baker. It is implemented as a kernel module compatible with the recently
committed modular congestion control framework.
HD uses a probabilistic approach to reacting to delay-based congestion. The
probability of reducing cwnd is zero when the queuing delay is very small,
increasing to a maximum at a set threshold, then back down to zero again when
the queuing delay is high. Normal operation keeps the queuing delay below the
set threshold. However, since loss-based congestion control algorithms push the
queuing delay high when probing for bandwidth, having the probability of
reducing cwnd drop back to zero for high delays allows HD to compete with
loss-based algorithms.

based on the paper "TCP Vegas: end to end congestion avoidance on a global
internet" by Brakmo and Peterson. It is implemented as a kernel module
compatible with the recently committed modular congestion control framework.
VEGAS uses network delay as a congestion indicator and unlike regular loss-based
algorithms, attempts to keep the network operating with stable queuing delays
and no congestion losses. By keeping network buffers used along the path within
a set range, queuing delays are kept low while maintaining high throughput.

After inspecting the ath9k source, it seems the AR5416 and later MACs
don't take an explicit RTS/CTS duration. A per-scenario (ie, what multi-
rate retry became) rts/cts control flag and packet duration is provided;
the hardware then apparently fills in whatever details are required.
The per-rate sp/lpack duration calculation just isn't used anywhere
in the ath9k TX packet length calculations.
The burst duration register controls something different; it seems to
be involved with RTS/CTS protection of 11n aggregate frames and is set
via a call to ar5416Set11nBurstDuration().
I've done some light testing with rts/cts protected frames and nothing
seems to break; but this may break said RTS/CTS and CTS-to-self protection.
need to do this because variables specified on the command line
override those specified in the Makefile. This is why we also moved

1) We now remove ECN-Nonce since it will no longer continue as a I-D
2) Eliminate last_tsn_echo, this tied us to an assoc not the net
and thus we were not doing m-homing on the ECN-Echo senders side right.
3) Increment the count going out even if the TSN in lower in the pending
ECN-Echo, this way the receiver knows exactly how many packets were
marked even with network re-ordering
4) Fix so we DO NOT stop doing delayed sack if a ECN Echo is in queue

When requesting a scan and one is already in progess, e.g. while in scan
state, we happily wait for a scan done notification. Though, this
notification might never be sent, e.g. if we are trying to find a network
to associate to and there is none. Instead of always waiting for a
notification just do so if a new scan has been started. For both cases the
scan cache is used to report available networks even if the content might
not be fresh.

that represents the host controller. This makes the FDT PCI support
working an a bare-bones manner. This needs a lot more work, of which
the beginning are at the end of the file, compiled-out with #if 0.
The intend being that both the Marvell PCIE and Freescale PCI/PCIX/PCIE
duplicate the same platform-independent domain initialization, that
should be moved into an unified implementation in the FDT code. Handling
of resources requires help from the platform. A unified implementation
allows us to properly support PCI devices listed in the device tree and
configured according to the device tree specification.

already supported nested PICs, but was limited to having a nested
AT-PIC only. With G5 support the need for nested OpenPIC controllers
needed to be added. This was done the wrong way and broke the MPC8555
eval system in the process.
OFW, as well as FDT, describe the interrupt routing in terms of a
controller and an interrupt pin on it. This needs to be mapped to a
flat and global resource: the IRQ. The IRQ is the same as the PCI
intline and as such needs to be representable in 8 bits. Secondly,
ISA support pretty much dictates that IRQ 0-15 should be reserved
for ISA interrupts, because of the internal workins of south bridges.
Both were broken.
This change reverts revision 209298 for a big part and re-implements
it simpler. In particular:
o The id() method of the PIC I/F is removed again. It's not needed.
o The openpic_attach() function has been changed to take the OFW
or FDT phandle of the controller as a second argument. All bus
attachments that previously used openpic_attach() as the attach
method of the device I/F now implement as bus-specific method
and pass the phandle_t to the renamed openpic_attach().
o Change powerpc_register_pic() to take a few more arguments. In
particular:
- Pass the number of IPIs specificly. The number of IRQs carved
out for a PIC is the sum of the number of int. pins and IPIs.
- Pass a flag indicating whether the PIC is an AT-PIC or not.
This tells the interrupt framework whether to assign IRQ 0-15
or some other range.
o Until we implement proper multi-pass bus enumeration, we have to
handle the case where we need to map from PIC+pin to IRQ *before*
the PIC gets registered. This is done in a similar way as before,
but rather than carving out 256 IRQs per PIC, we carve out 128
IRQs (124 pins + 4 IPIs). This is supposed to handle the G5 case,
but should really be fixed properly using multiple passes.
o Have the interrupt framework set root_pic in most cases and not
put that burden in PIC drivers (for the most part).
o Remove powerpc_ign_lookup() and replace it with powerpc_get_irq().
Remove IGN_SHIFT, INTR_INTLINE and INTR_IGN.
Related to the above, fix the Freescale PCI controller driver, broken
by the FDT code. Besides not attaching properly, bus numbers were
assigned improperly and enumeration was broken in general. This
prevented the AT PIC from being discovered and interrupt routing to
work properly. Consequently, the ata(4) controller stopped functioning.
Fix the driver, and FDT PCI support, enough to get the MPC8555CDS
going again. The FDT PCI code needs a whole lot more work.
No breakages are expected, but lackiong G5 hardware, it's possible
that there are unpleasant side-effects. At least MPC85xx support is
back to where it was 7 months ago -- it's amazing how badly support
can be broken in just 7 months...
