Tuong Lien d7626b5acf tipc: introduce Gap ACK blocks for broadcast link As achieved through commit `9195948fbf` ("tipc: improve TIPC throughput by Gap ACK blocks"), we apply the same mechanism for the broadcast link as well. The 'Gap ACK blocks' data field in a 'PROTOCOL/STATE_MSG' will consist of two parts built for both the broadcast and unicast types: 31 16 15 0 +-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ \| bgack_cnt \| ugack_cnt \| len \| +-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ - \| gap \| ack \| \| +-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ > bc gacks : : : \| +-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ - \| gap \| ack \| \| +-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ > uc gacks : : : \| +-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ - which is "automatically" backward-compatible. We also increase the max number of Gap ACK blocks to 128, allowing upto 64 blocks per type (total buffer size = 516 bytes). Besides, the 'tipc_link_advance_transmq()' function is refactored which is applicable for both the unicast and broadcast cases now, so some old functions can be removed and the code is optimized. With the patch, TIPC broadcast is more robust regardless of packet loss or disorder, latency, ... in the underlying network. Its performance is boost up significantly. For example, experiment with a 5% packet loss rate results: $ time tipc-pipe --mc --rdm --data_size 123 --data_num 1500000 real 0m 42.46s user 0m 1.16s sys 0m 17.67s Without the patch: $ time tipc-pipe --mc --rdm --data_size 123 --data_num 1500000 real 8m 27.94s user 0m 0.55s sys 0m 2.38s Acked-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Acked-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tuong Lien <tuong.t.lien@dektech.com.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
