linux.git/drivers/net/ppp_generic.c, branch v2.6.13 Linux kernel source tree [NET]: Transform skb_queue_len() binary tests into skb_queue_empty() 2005-07-08T21:57:23+00:00 David S. Miller davem@davemloft.net 2005-07-08T21:57:23+00:00 b03efcfb2180289718991bb984044ce6c5b7d1b0 This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the 'list' member of sk_buff. Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty() which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

[PATCH] PPP multilink fragmentation improvements 2005-05-12T23:47:12+00:00 Paul Mackerras paulus@samba.org 2005-05-12T23:47:12+00:00 516cd15f1c0dd6eada3619915b113b4e5baccc7a 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>

I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
