2009-01-11net: fix section mismatch warnings in dccp/ccids/lib/tfrc.cLeonardo Potenza
Removed the __exit annotation of tfrc_lib_exit(), in order to suppress the following section mismatch messages: WARNING: net/dccp/dccp.o(.text+0xd9): Section mismatch in reference from the function ccid_cleanup_builtins() to the function .exit.text:tfrc_lib_exit() The function ccid_cleanup_builtins() references a function in an exit section. Often the function tfrc_lib_exit() has valid usage outside the exit section and the fix is to remove the __exit annotation of tfrc_lib_exit. WARNING: net/dccp/dccp.o(.init.text+0x48): Section mismatch in reference from the function ccid_initialize_builtins() to the function .exit.text:tfrc_lib_exit() The function __init ccid_initialize_builtins() references a function __exit tfrc_lib_exit(). This is often seen when error handling in the init function uses functionality in the exit path. The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of tfrc_lib_exit() so it may be used outside an exit section.

2008-09-04dccp ccid-3: Preventing OscillationsGerrit Renker
This implements [RFC 3448, 4.5], which performs congestion avoidance behaviour by reducing the transmit rate as the queueing delay (measured in terms of long-term RTT) increases. Oscillation can be turned on/off via a module option (do_osc_prev) and via sysfs (using mode 0644), the default is off. Overflow analysis: ------------------ * oscillation prevention is done after update_x(), so that t_ipi <= 64000; * hence the multiplication "t_ipi * sqrt(R_sample)" needs 64 bits; * done using u64 for sqrt_sample and explicit typecast of t_ipi; * the divisor, R_sqmean, is non-zero because oscillation prevention is first called when receiving the second feedback packet, and tfrc_scaled_rtt() > 0. A detailed discussion of the algorithm (with plots) is on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/ccid3/sender_notes/oscillation_prevention/ The algorithm has negative side effects: * when allowing to decrease t_ipi (leads to a large RTT) and * when using it during slow-start; both uses are therefore disabled.

2008-09-04dccp ccid-3: Update the RX history records in one placeGerrit Renker
This patch is a requirement for enabling ECN support later on. With that change in mind, the following preparations are done: * renamed handle_loss() into congestion_event() since it returns true when a congestion event happens (it will eventually also take care of ECN packets); * lets tfrc_rx_congestion_event() always update the RX history records, since this routine needs to be called for each non-duplicate packet anyway; * made all involved boolean-type functions to have return type `bool'; Updating the RX history records is now only necessary for the packets received up to sending the first feedback. The receiver code becomes again simpler. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp ccid-3: Update the computation of X_recvGerrit Renker
This updates the computation of X_recv with regard to Errata 610/611 for RFC 4342 and draft rfc3448bis-06, ensuring that at least an interval of 1 RTT is used to compute X_recv. The change is wrapped into a new function ccid3_hc_rx_x_recv(). Further changes: ---------------- * feedback is not sent when no data packets arrived (bytes_recv == 0), as per rfc3448bis-06, 6.2; * take the timestamp for the feedback /after/ dccp_send_ack() returns, to avoid taking the transmission time into account (in case layer-2 is busy); * clearer handling of failure in ccid3_first_li(). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Increase number of RTT samplesGerrit Renker
This improves the receiver RTT sampling algorithm so that it tries harder to get as many RTT samples as possible. The algorithm is based the concepts presented in RFC 4340, 8.1, using timestamps and the CCVal window counter. There exist 4 cases for the CCVal difference: * == 0: less than RTT/4 passed since last packet -- unusable; * > 4: (much) more than 1 RTT has passed since last packet -- also unusable; * == 4: perfect sample (exactly one RTT has passed since last packet); * 1..3: sub-optimal sample (between RTT/4 and 3*RTT/4 has passed). In the last case the algorithm tried to optimise by storing away the candidate and then re-trying next time. The problem is that * a large number of samples is needed to smooth out the inaccuracies of the algorithm; * the sender may not be sending enough packets to warrant a "next time"; * hence it is better to use suboptimal samples whenever possible. The algorithm now stores away the current sample only if the difference is 0. Applicability and background ---------------------------- A realistic example is MP3 streaming where packets are sent at a rate of less than one packet per RTT, which means that suitable samples are absent for a very long time. The effectiveness of using suboptimal samples (with a delta between 1 and 4) was confirmed by instrumenting the algorithm with counters. The results of two 20 second test runs were: * With the old algorithm and a total of 38442 function calls, only 394 of these calls resulted in usable RTT samples (about 1%), and 378 out of these were "perfect" samples and 28013 (unused) samples had a delta of 1..3. * With the new algorithm and a total of 37057 function calls, 1702 usable RTT samples were retrieved (about 4.6%), 5 out of these were "perfect" samples.

2008-09-04dccp ccid-3: Always perform receiver RTT samplingGerrit Renker
This updates the CCID-3 receiver in part with regard to errata 610 and 611 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_list.php), which change RFC 4342 to use the Receive Rate as specified in rfc3448bis, requiring to constantly sample the RTT (or use a sender RTT). Doing this requires reusing the RX history structure after dealing with a loss. The patch does not resolve how to compute X_recv if the interval is less than 1 RTT. A FIXME has been added (and is resolved in subsequent patch). Furthermore, since this is all TFRC-based functionality, the RTT estimation is now also performed by the dccp_tfrc_lib module. This further simplifies the CCID-3 code. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Let dccp_tfrc_lib do the sampling workGerrit Renker
This migrates more TFRC-related code into the dccp_tfrc_lib: * sampling of the packet size `s' (which is only needed until the first loss interval is computed (ccid3_first_li)); * updating the byte-counter `bytes_recvd' in between sending feedbacks. The result is a better separation of CCID-3 specific and TFRC specific code, which aids future integration with ECN and e.g. CCID-4. Further changes: ---------------- * replaced magic number of 536 with equivalent constant TCP_MIN_RCVMSS; (this constant is also used when no estimate for `s' is available). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Return type of update_i_mean is voidGerrit Renker
This changes the return type of tfrc_lh_update_i_mean() to void, since that function returns always `false'. This is due to len = dccp_delta_seqno(cur->li_seqno, DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_seq) + 1; if (len - (s64)cur->li_length <= 0) /* duplicate or reordered */ return 0; which means that update_i_mean can only increase the length of the open loss interval I_0, and hence the value of I_tot0 (RFC 3448, 5.4). Consequently the test `i_mean < old_i_mean' at the end of the function always evaluates to false. There is no known way by which a loss interval can suddenly become shorter, therefore the return type of the function is changed to void. (That is, under the given circumstances step (3) in RFC 3448, 6.1 will not occur.) Further changes: ---------------- * the function is now called from tfrc_rx_handle_loss, which is equivalent to the previous way of calling from rx_packet_recv (it was called whenever there was no new or pending loss, now it is also updated when there is a pending loss - this increases the accuracy a bit); * added a FIXME to possibly consider NDP counting as per RFC 4342 (this is not implemented yet). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Perform early loss detectionGerrit Renker
This enables the TFRC code to begin loss detection (as soon as the module is loaded), using the latest updates from rfc3448bis-06, 6.3.1: * when the first data packet(s) are lost or marked, set * X_target = s/(2*R) => f(p) = s/(R * X_target) = 2, * corresponding to a loss rate of ~ 20.64%. The handle_loss() function is now called right at the begin of rx_packet_recv() and thus no longer protected against duplicates: hence a call to rx_duplicate() has been added. Such a call makes sense now, as the previous patch initialises the first entry with a sequence number of GSR. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Receiver history initialisation routineGerrit Renker
This patch 1) separates history allocation and initialisation, to facilitate early loss detection (implemented by a subsequent patch); 2) removes duplication by using the existing tfrc_rx_hist_purge() if the allocation fails. This is now possible, since the initialisation routine 3) zeroes out the entire history before using it. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Suppress unavoidable "below resolution" warningGerrit Renker
In the congestion-avoidance phase a decay of p towards 0 is natural once fewer losses are encountered. Hence the warning message "p is below resolution" is not necessary, and thus turned into a debug message by this patch. The TFRC_SMALLEST_P is needed since in theory p never actually reaches 0. When no further losses are encountered, the loss interval I_0 grows in length, causing p to decrease towards 0, causing X_calc = s/(RTT * f(p)) to increase. With the given minimum-resolution this congestion avoidance phase stops at some fixed value, an approximation formula has been added to the documentation. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc/ccid-3: Computing Loss Rate from Loss Event RateGerrit Renker
This adds a function to take care of the following cases occurring in the computation of the Loss Rate p: * 1/(2^32-1) is mapped into 0% as per RFC 4342, 8.5; * 1/0 is mapped into the maximum of 100%; * we want to avoid that p = 1/x is rounded down to 0 when x is very large, since this means accidentally re-entering slow-start (indicated by p==0). In the last case, the minimum-resolution value of p is returned. Furthermore, a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed (1/0 was mapped into ~0U), which now allows to consistently print the scaled p-values as printf("Loss Event Rate = %u.%04u %%\n", rx_info.tfrcrx_p / 10000, rx_info.tfrcrx_p % 10000); Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp ccid-3: Remove ugly RTT-sampling history lookupGerrit Renker
This removes the RTT-sampling function tfrc_tx_hist_rtt(), since 1. it suffered from complex passing of return values (the return value both indicated successful lookup while the value doubled as RTT sample); 2. when for some odd reason the sample value equalled 0, this triggered a bug warning about "bogus Ack", due to the ambiguity of the return value; 3. on a passive host which has not sent anything the TX history is empty and thus will lead to unwanted "bogus Ack" warnings such as ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-28197148 ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-26641606. The fix is to replace the implicit encoding by performing the steps manually. Furthermore, the "bogus Ack" warning has been removed, since it can actually be triggered due to several reasons (network reordering, old packet, (3) above), hence it is not very useful.

2008-09-04dccp ccid-3: Replace lazy BUG_ON with conditionGerrit Renker
The BUG_ON(w_tot == 0) only holds if there is no more than 1 loss interval in the loss history. If there is only a single loss interval, the calc_i_mean() routine need in fact not be called (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp: Toggle debug output without module unloadingGerrit Renker
This sets the sysfs permissions so that root can toggle the `debug' parameter available for nearly every DCCP module. This is useful since there are various module inter-dependencies. The debug flag can now be toggled at runtime using echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp/parameters/dccp_debug echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_ccid2/parameters/ccid2_debug echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_ccid3/parameters/ccid3_debug echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_tfrc_lib/parameters/tfrc_debug The last is not very useful yet, since no code at the moment calls the tfrc_debug() macro. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-07-13dccp ccid-3: Length of loss intervalsGerrit Renker
This corrects an error in the computation of the open loss interval I_0: * the interval length is (highest_seqno - start_seqno) + 1 * and not (highest_seqno - start_seqno). This condition was not fully clear in RFC 3448, but reflects the current revision state of rfc3448bis and is also consistent with RFC 4340, 6.1.1. Further changes: ---------------- * variable renamed due to line length constraints; * explicit typecast to `s64' to avoid implicit signed/unsigned casting. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-07-13dccp ccid-3: Fix a loss detection bugGerrit Renker
This fixes a bug in the logic of the TFRC loss detection: * new_loss_indicated() should not be called while a loss is pending; * but the code allows this; * thus, for two subsequent gaps in the sequence space, when loss_count has not yet reached NDUPACK=3, the loss_count is falsely reduced to 1. To avoid further and similar problems, all loss handling and loss detection is now done inside tfrc_rx_hist_handle_loss(), using an appropriate routine to track new losses. Further changes: ---------------- * added a reminder that no RX history operations should be performed when rx_handle_loss() has identified a (new) loss, since the function takes care of packet reordering during loss detection; * made tfrc_rx_hist_loss_pending() bool (thanks to an earlier suggestion by Arnaldo); * removed unused functions.

2008-07-13dccp: Upgrade NDP count from 3 to 6 bytesGerrit Renker
RFC 4340, 7.7 specifies up to 6 bytes for the NDP Count option, whereas the code is currently limited to up to 3 bytes. This seems to be a relict of an earlier draft version and is brought up to date by the patch. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-07-13dccp ccid-3: Fix error in loss detectionGerrit Renker
The TFRC loss detection code used the wrong loss condition (RFC 4340, 7.7.1): * the difference between sequence numbers s1 and s2 instead of * the number of packets missing between s1 and s2 (one less than the distance). Since this condition appears in many places of the code, it has been put into a separate function, dccp_loss_free(). Further changes: ---------------- * tidied up incorrect typing (it was using `int' for u64/s64 types); * optimised conditional statements for common case of non-reordered packets; * rewrote comments/documentation to match the changes. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-06-11dccp ccid-3: X truncated due to type conversionGerrit Renker
This fixes a bug in computing the inter-packet-interval t_ipi = s/X: scaled_div32(a, b) uses u32 for b, but in "scaled_div32(s, X)" the type of the sending rate `X' is u64. Since X is scaled by 2^6, this truncates rates greater than 2^26 Bps (~537 Mbps). Using full 64-bit division now. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-06-11dccp ccid-3: TFRC reverse-lookup Bug-FixGerrit Renker
This fixes a bug in the reverse lookup of p: given a value f(p), instead of p, the function returned the smallest tabulated value f(p). The smallest tabulated value of 10^6 * f(p) = sqrt(2*p/3) + 12 * sqrt(3*p/8) * (32 * p^3 + p) for p=0.0001 is 8172. Since this value is scaled by 10^6, the outcome of this bug is that a loss of 8172/10^6 = 0.8172% was reported whenever the input was below the table resolution of 0.01%. This means that the value was over 80 times too high, resulting in large spikes of the initial loss interval, thus unnecessarily reducing the throughput. Also corrected the printk format (%u for u32). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-06-11dccp: Fix sparse warningsGerrit Renker

2008-01-28[TFRC]: Loss interval code needs the macros/inlines that were movedGerrit Renker
This moves the inlines (which were previously declared as macros) back into packet_history.h since the loss detection code needs to be able to read entries from the RX history in order to create the relevant loss entries: it needs at least tfrc_rx_hist_loss_prev() and tfrc_rx_hist_last_rcv(), which in turn require the definition of the other inlines (macros).

2007-07-20mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

2007-07-10loss_interval: Nuke dccp_li_histArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
It had just a slab cache, so, for the sake of simplicity just make dccp_trfc_lib module init routine create the slab cache, no need for users of the lib to create a private loss_interval object. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Not used outside the loss_interval code anymore. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
