2008-04-16[TCP]: Increase the max_burst threshold from 3 to tp->reordering.John Heffner
This change is necessary to allow cwnd to grow during persistent reordering. Cwnd moderation is applied when in the disorder state and an ack that fills the hole comes in. If the hole was greater than 3 packets, but less than tp->reordering, cwnd will shrink when it should not have. Signed-off-by: John Heffner <jheffner@napa.(none)> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-04-10[Syncookies]: Add support for TCP options via timestamps.Florian Westphal
Allow the use of SACK and window scaling when syncookies are used and the client supports tcp timestamps. Options are encoded into the timestamp sent in the syn-ack and restored from the timestamp echo when the ack is received. Based on earlier work by Glenn Griffin. This patch avoids increasing the size of structs by encoding TCP options into the least significant bits of the timestamp and by not using any 'timestamp offset'. The downside is that the timestamp sent in the packet after the synack will increase by several seconds. changes since v1: don't duplicate timestamp echo decoding function, put it into ipv4/syncookie.c and have ipv6/syncookies.c use it.

2008-04-07[TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+LIlpo Järvinen
This fixes Bugzilla #10384 tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use. The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well, leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate ACK will fix the S counter. More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie., the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs had arrived. So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit 1b6d427bb7e ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions for stream protocols. At the same time, some stream memory accounting functions are removed since other functions do same thing. Renaming: sk_stream_free_skb() -> sk_wmem_free_skb() __sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> __sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_schedule -> __sk_mem_schedule() sk_stream_pages() -> sk_mem_pages() sk_stream_rmem_schedule() -> sk_rmem_schedule() sk_stream_wmem_schedule() -> sk_wmem_schedule() sk_charge_skb() -> sk_mem_charge() Removeing sk_stream_rfree(): consolidates into sock_rfree() sk_stream_set_owner_r(): consolidates into skb_set_owner_r() sk_stream_mem_schedule() The following functions are added. sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge() In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is removed from sk_mem_charge(). Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call. Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface in TCP and SCTP.

2008-01-28[TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache useIlpo Järvinen
Key points of this patch are: - In case new SACK information is advance only type, no skb processing below previously discovered highest point is done - Optimize cases below highest point too since there's no need to always go up to highest point (which is very likely still present in that SACK), this is not entirely true though because I'm dropping the fastpath_skb_hint which could previously optimize those cases even better. Whether that's significant, I'm not too sure. Currently it will provide skipping by walking. Combined with RB-tree, all skipping would become fast too regardless of window size (can be done incrementally later). Previously a number of cases in TCP SACK processing fails to take advantage of costly stored information in sack_recv_cache, most importantly, expected events such as cumulative ACK and new hole ACKs. Processing on such ACKs result in rather long walks building up latencies (which easily gets nasty when window is huge). Those latencies are often completely unnecessary compared with the amount of _new_ information received, usually for cumulative ACK there's no new information at all, yet TCP walks whole queue unnecessary potentially taking a number of costly cache misses on the way, etc.! Since the inclusion of highest_sack, there's a lot information that is very likely redundant (SACK fastpath hint stuff, fackets_out, highest_sack), though there's no ultimate guarantee that they'll remain the same whole the time (in all unearthly scenarios). Take advantage of this knowledge here and drop fastpath hint and use direct access to highest SACKed skb as a replacement. Effectively "special cased" fastpath is dropped. This change adds some complexity to introduce better coveraged "fastpath", though the added complexity should make TCP behave more cache friendly. The current ACK's SACK blocks are compared against each cached block individially and only ranges that are new are then scanned by the high constant walk. For other parts of write queue, even when in previously known part of the SACK blocks, a faster skip function is used (if necessary at all). In addition, whenever possible, TCP fast-forwards to highest_sack skb that was made available by an earlier patch. In typical case, no other things but this fast-forward and mandatory markings after that occur making the access pattern quite similar to the former fastpath "special case". DSACKs are special case that must always be walked. The local to recv_sack_cache copying could be more intelligent w.r.t DSACKs which are likely to be there only once but that is left to a separate patch.

2007-10-10[TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queueIlpo Järvinen
Previously TCP had a transitional state during which reno counted segments that are already below the current window into sacked_out, which is now prevented. In addition, re-try now the unconditional S+L skb catching. This approach conservatively calls just remove_sack and leaves reset_sack() calls alone. The best solution to the whole problem would be to first calculate the new sacked_out fully (this patch does not move reno_sack_reset calls from original sites and thus does not implement this). However, that would require very invasive change to fastretrans_alert (perhaps even slicing it to two halves). Alternatively, all callers of tcp_packets_in_flight (i.e., users that depend on sacked_out) should be postponed until the new sacked_out has been calculated but it isn't any simpler alternative.

2007-09-28[TCP]: Fix MD5 signature handling on big-endian.David S. Miller
Based upon a report and initial patch by Peter Lieven. tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key need to start with the exact same members as tcp_md5sig_key. Because they are both cast to that type by tcp_v{4,6}_md5_do_lookup(). Unfortunately tcp{4,6}_md5sig_key use a u16 for the key length instead of a u8, which is what tcp_md5sig_key uses. This just so happens to work by accident on little-endian, but on big-endian it doesn't. Instead of casting, just place tcp_md5sig_key as the first member of the address-family specific structures, adjust the access sites, and kill off the ugly casts. Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-08-02[TCP]: Invoke tcp_sendmsg() directly, do not use inet_sendmsg().David S. Miller
As discovered by Evegniy Polyakov, if we try to sendmsg after a connection reset, we can do incredibly stupid things. The core issue is that inet_sendmsg() tries to autobind the socket, but we should never do that for TCP. Instead we should just go straight into TCP's sendmsg() code which will do all of the necessary state and pending socket error checks. TCP's sendpage already directly vectors to tcp_sendpage(), so this merely brings sendmsg() in line with that. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

tcp_out_of_resources() and tcp_close() perform the same checking of number of orphan sockets. Move this code into common place. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-05-03[TCP]: Use S+L catcher only with SACK for nowIlpo Järvinen
TCP has a transitional state when SACK is not in use during which this invariant is temporarily broken. Without SACK, tcp_clean_rtx_queue does not decrement sacked_out. Therefore calls to tcp_sync_left_out before sacked_out is again corrected by tcp_fastretrans_alert can trigger this trap as sacked_out still has couple of segments that are already out of window.

2007-04-30[TCP] FRTO: RFC4138 allows Nagle override when new data must be sentIlpo Järvinen
This is a corner case where less than MSS sized new data thingie is awaiting in the send queue. For F-RTO to work correctly, a new data segment must be sent at certain point or F-RTO cannot be used at all. RFC4138 allows overriding of Nagle at that point. Implementation uses frto_counter states 2 and 3 to distinguish when Nagle override is needed. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.
