ECN (ABE)" proposal to the New Reno congestion control algorithm module.
ABE reduces the amount of congestion window reduction in response to
ECN-signalled congestion relative to the loss-inferred congestion response.
More details about ABE can be found in the Internet-Draft:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-alternativebackoff-ecn
The implementation introduces four new sysctls:
- net.inet.tcp.cc.abe defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to non-zero to
enable ABE for ECN-enabled TCP connections.
- net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.beta and net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.beta_ecn set the
multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to
the congestion window in response to a loss-based or ECN-based congestion
signal respectively. They default to the values specified in the draft i.e.
beta=50 and beta_ecn=80.
- net.inet.tcp.cc.abe_frlossreduce defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to
non-zero to enable the use of standard beta (50% by default) when repairing
loss during an ECN-signalled congestion recovery episode. It enables a more
conservative congestion response and is provided for the purposes of
experimentation as a result of some discussion at IETF 100 in Singapore.
The values of beta and beta_ecn can also be set per-connection by way of the
TCP_CCALGOOPT TCP-level socket option and the new CC_NEWRENO_BETA or
CC_NEWRENO_BETA_ECN CC algo sub-options.

ConnectX-4/5 devices in mlx5core.
The dump is obtained by reading a predefined register map from the
non-destructive crspace, accessible by the vendor-specific PCIe
capability (VSC). The dump is stored in preallocated kernel memory and
managed by the mlx5tool(8), which communicates with the driver using a
character device node.
The utility allows to store the dump in format
<address> <value>
into a file, to reset the dump content, and to manually initiate the
dump.
A call to mlx5_fwdump() should be added at the places where a dump
must be fetched automatically. The most likely place is right before a
firmware reset request.

imcsmb(4) provides smbus(4) support for the SMBus controller functionality
in the integrated Memory Controllers (iMCs) embedded in Intel Sandybridge-
Xeon, Ivybridge-Xeon, Haswell-Xeon, and Broadwell-Xeon CPUs. Each CPU
implements one or more iMCs, depending on the number of cores; each iMC
implements two SMBus controllers (iMC-SMBs).
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
Because motherboard firmware or the BMC might try to use the iMC-SMBs for
monitoring DIMM temperatures and/or managing an NVDIMM, the driver might
need to temporarily disable those functions, or take a hardware interlock,
before using the iMC-SMBs. Details on how to do this may vary from board to
board, and the procedure may be proprietary. It is strongly suggested that
anyone wishing to use this driver contact their motherboard vendor, and
modify the driver as described in the manual page and in the driver itself.
(For what it's worth, the driver as-is has been tested on various SuperMicro
motherboards.)

The intent of this guideline is to avoid creating global variables in module

We want to avoid global variables in general, but this is easier to mess up

This works similarly to the existing gzip compression support, but
zstd is typically faster and gives better compression ratios.
Support for this functionality must be configured by adding ZSTDIO to

and saves zstd-compressed kernel dumps with a .zst extension.
