Here's a patch for -mm for now. Not sure whose territory this falls in, so I'm sending it to everyone I can think of. :) Some time ago I did some experiments with using PPP multilink over largish numbers of channels (up to 32). The TCP performance was woeful due to wildly fluctuating packet latencies, which turned out to be because we would sometimes split a packet across all 32 channels, and sometimes we would send a whole packet down a single channel. This patch fixes those problems by being a bit cleverer about how the packets are split across the available channels, and in particular, it waits until at least half of the channels can take another fragment before starting to split up the next packet. The patch also fixes a buglet in the multilink reconstruction code where it would discard incoming packets that had just the multilink header and no data. Such packets are valid and shouldn't be discarded. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com> |
