The qdisc supports two operations - plug and unplug. When the
qdisc receives a plug command via netlink request, packets arriving
henceforth are buffered until a corresponding unplug command is received.
Depending on the type of unplug command, the queue can be unplugged
indefinitely or selectively.
This qdisc can be used to implement output buffering, an essential
functionality required for consistent recovery in checkpoint based
fault-tolerance systems. Output buffering enables speculative execution
by allowing generated network traffic to be rolled back. It is used to
provide network protection for Xen Guests in the Remus high availability
project, available as part of Xen.
This module is generic enough to be used by any other system that wishes
to add speculative execution and output buffering to its applications.
This module was originally available in the linux 2.6.32 PV-OPS tree,
used as dom0 for Xen.
For more information, please refer to http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/
and http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Remus
Changes in V3:
* Removed debug output (printk) on queue overflow
* Added TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE - that allows the user to
use this qdisc, for simple plug/unplug operations.
* Use of packet counts instead of pointers to keep track of
the buffers in the queue.

Removes code that alters the publication key of a name table entry
that is being forcibly purged from TIPC's name table after contact
with the publishing node has been lost.
Current TIPC ensures that all defunct names are purged before
re-establishing contact with a failed node. There used to be a risk
that the publication might be accidentally deleted because it might be
re-added to the name table before the purge operation was completed.
But now there is no longer a need to ensure that the new key is different
than the old one.

Modifies broadcast link so that an incoming fragmented message is not
lost if reassembly cannot begin because there currently is no buffer
big enough to hold the entire reassembled message. The broadcast link
now ignores the first fragment completely, which causes the sending node
to retransmit the first fragment so that reassembly can be re-attempted.
Previously, the sender would have had no reason to retransmit the 1st
fragment, so we would never have a chance to re-try the allocation.
To do this cleanly without duplicaton, a new bclink_accept_pkt()
function is introduced.

Completely redesigns broadcast link ACK and NACK mechanisms to prevent
spurious retransmit requests in dual LAN networks, and to prevent the
broadcast link from stalling due to the failure of a receiving node to
acknowledge receiving a broadcast message or request its retransmission.
Note: These changes only impact the timing of when ACK and NACK messages
are sent, and not the basic broadcast link protocol itself, so inter-
operability with nodes using the "classic" algorithms is maintained.
The revised algorithms are as follows:
1) An explicit ACK message is still sent after receiving 16 in-sequence
messages, and implicit ACK information continues to be carried in other
unicast link message headers (including link state messages). However,
the timing of explicit ACKs is now based on the receiving node's absolute
network address rather than its relative network address to ensure that
the failure of another node does not delay the ACK beyond its 16 message
target.
2) A NACK message is now typically sent only when a message gap persists
for two consecutive incoming link state messages; this ensures that a
suspected gap is not confirmed until both LANs in a dual LAN network have
had an opportunity to deliver the message, thereby preventing spurious NACKs.
A NACK message can also be generated by the arrival of a single link state
message, if the deferred queue is so big that the current message gap
cannot be the result of "normal" mis-ordering due to the use of dual LANs
(or one LAN using a bonded interface). Since link state messages typically
arrive at different nodes at different times the problem of multiple nodes
issuing identical NACKs simultaneously is inherently avoided.
3) Nodes continue to "peek" at NACK messages sent by other nodes. If
another node requests retransmission of a message gap suspected (but not
yet confirmed) by the peeking node, the peeking node forgets about the
gap and does not generate a duplicate retransmit request. (If the peeking
node subsequently fails to receive the lost message, later link state
messages will cause it to rediscover and confirm the gap and send another
NACK.)
4) Message gap "equality" is now determined by the start of the gap only.
This is sufficient to deal with the most common cases of message loss,
and eliminates the need for complex end of gap computations.
5) A peeking node no longer tries to determine whether it should send a
complementary NACK, since the most common cases of message loss don't
require it to be sent. Consequently, the node no longer examines the
"broadcast tag" field of a NACK message when peeking.

Corrects a problem in which a link endpoint that activates as the
result of receiving a RESET/STATE sequence of link protocol messages
fails to properly record the broadcast link status information about
the node to which it is now communicating with. (The problem does
not occur with the more common RESET/ACTIVATE sequence of messages.)
The fix ensures that the broadcast link status info is updated after
the RESET message resets the link endpoint, rather than before, thereby
preventing new information from being overwritten by the reset operation.

Fix a bug that can prevent TIPC from sending broadcast messages to a node
if contact with the node is lost and then regained. The problem occurs if
the broadcast link first clears the flag indicating the node is part of the
link's distribution set (when it loses contact with the node), and later
fails to restore the flag (when contact is regained); restoration fails
if contact with the node is regained by implicit unicast link activation
triggered by the arrival of a data message, rather than explicitly by the
arrival of a link activation message.
The broadcast link now uses separate fields to track whether a node is
theoretically capable of receiving broadcast messages versus whether it is
actually part of the link's distribution set. The former member is updated
by the receipt of link protocol messages, which can occur at any time; the
latter member is updated only when contact with the node is gained or lost.
This change also permits the simplification of several conditional
expressions since the broadcast link's "supported" field can now only be
set if there are working links to the associated node.

Ensure that sequence number information about incoming broadcast link
messages is initialized only by the activation of the first link to a
given cluster node. Previously, a race condition allowed reset and/or
activation messages for a second link to re-initialize this sequence
number information with obsolete values. This could trigger TIPC to
request the retransmission of previously acknowledged broadcast link
messages from that node, resulting in broadcast link processing becoming
stalled if the node had already released one or more of those messages
and was unable to perform the required retransmission.

TCP RST mechanism is broken in TCP md5(RFC2385). When
connection is gone, md5 key is lost, sending RST
without md5 hash is deem to ignored by peer. This can
be a problem since RST help protocal like bgp to fast
recove from peer crash.
In most case, users of tcp md5, such as bgp and ldp,
have listener on both sides to accept connection from peer.
md5 keys for peers are saved in listening socket.
There are two cases in finding md5 key when connection is
lost:
1.Passive receive RST: The message is send to well known port,
tcp will associate it with listner. md5 key is gotten from
listener.
2.Active receive RST (no sock): The message is send to ative
side, there is no socket associated with the message. In this
case, finding listener from source port, then find md5 key from
listener.
we are not loosing sercuriy here:
packet is checked with md5 hash. No RST is generated
if md5 hash doesn't match or no md5 key can be found.
