net/davinci: do not use all descriptors for tx packets
The driver uses a shared pool for both rx and tx descriptors.
During open it queues fixed number of 128 descriptors for receive
packets. For each received packet it tries to queue another
descriptor. If this fails the descriptor is lost for rx.
The driver has no limitation on tx descriptors to use, so it
can happen during a nmap / ping -f attack that the driver
allocates all descriptors for tx and looses all rx descriptors.
The driver stops working then.
To fix this limit the number of tx descriptors used to half of
the descriptors available, the rx path uses the other half.

Whenever a packet comes in that should be timestamped, the Rx timestamp
gets latched into the hardware registers and we will store the jiffy value
in the rx_ring. The watchdog will keep track of his own jiffy timer
whenever there is no valid timestamp in the registers.
If the watchdog detects a valid timestamp in the registers, meaning that no
Rx packet has consumed it yet, it will check which time is most recent: the
last time in the watchdog or any time in the rx_rings. If the most recent

Increase the amount of memory usage limits for incomplete
IP fragments.
Arguing for new thresh high/low values:
High threshold = 4 MBytes
Low threshold = 3 MBytes
The fragmentation memory accounting code, tries to account for the
real memory usage, by measuring both the size of frag queue struct
(inet_frag_queue (ipv4:ipq/ipv6:frag_queue)) and the SKB's truesize.
We want to be able to handle/hold-on-to enough fragments, to ensure
good performance, without causing incomplete fragments to hurt
scalability, by causing the number of inet_frag_queue to grow too much
(resulting longer searches for frag queues).
For IPv4, how much memory does the largest frag consume.
Maximum size fragment is 64K, which is approx 44 fragments with
MTU(1500) sized packets. Sizeof(struct ipq) is 200. A 1500 byte
packet results in a truesize of 2944 (not 2048 as I first assumed)
(44*2944)+200 = 129736 bytes
The current default high thresh of 262144 bytes, is obviously
problematic, as only two 64K fragments can fit in the queue at the
same time.
How many 64K fragment can we fit into 4 MBytes:
4*2^20/((44*2944)+200) = 32.34 fragment in queues
An attacker could send a separate/distinct fake fragment packets per
queue, causing us to allocate one inet_frag_queue per packet, and thus
attacking the hash table and its lists.
How many frag queue do we need to store, and given a current hash size
of 64, what is the average list length.
Using one MTU sized fragment per inet_frag_queue, each consuming
(2944+200) 3144 bytes.
4*2^20/(2944+200) = 1334 frag queues -> 21 avg list length
An attack could send small fragments, the smallest packet I could send
resulted in a truesize of 896 bytes (I'm a little surprised by this).
4*2^20/(896+200) = 3827 frag queues -> 59 avg list length
When increasing these number, we also need to followup with
improvements, that is going to help scalability. Simply increasing
the hash size, is not enough as the current implementation does not
have a per hash bucket locking.
