2006-09-22[SCTP]: CleanupsAdrian Bunk
This patch contains the following cleanups: - make the following needlessly global function static: - socket.c: sctp_apply_peer_addr_params() - add proper prototypes for the several global functions in include/net/sctp/sctp.h Note that this fixes wrong prototypes for the following functions: - sctp_snmp_proc_exit() - sctp_eps_proc_exit() - sctp_assocs_proc_exit() The latter was spotted by the GNU C compiler and reported by David Woodhouse.

2006-09-22[SCTP]: Remove multiple levels of msecs to jiffies conversions.Vladislav Yasevich
The SCTP sysctl entries are displayed in milliseconds, but stored internally in jiffies. This results in multiple levels of msecs to jiffies conversion and as a result produces a truncation error. This patch makes things consistent in that we store and display defaults in milliseconds and only convert once for use by association.

2006-06-17[SCTP]: Fix persistent slowdown in sctp when a gap ack consumes rx buffer.Neil Horman
In the event that our entire receive buffer is full with a series of chunks that represent a single gap-ack, and then we accept a chunk (or chunks) that fill in the gap between the ctsn and the first gap, we renege chunks from the end of the buffer, which effectively does nothing but move our gap to the end of our received tsn stream. This does little but move our missing tsns down stream a little, and, if the sender is sending sufficiently large retransmit frames, the result is a perpetual slowdown which can never be recovered from, since the only chunk that can be accepted to allow progress in the tsn stream necessitates that a new gap be created to make room for it. This leads to a constant need for retransmits, and subsequent receiver stalls. The fix I've come up with is to deliver the frame without reneging if we have a full receive buffer and the receiving sockets sk_receive_queue is empty(indicating that the receive buffer is being blocked by a missing tsn).

2006-06-17[SCTP]: Send only 1 window update SACK per message.Tsutomu Fujii
Right now, every time we increase our rwnd by more then MTU bytes, we trigger a SACK. When processing large messages, this will generate a SACK for almost every other SCTP fragment.

2006-06-17[SCTP]: Limit association max_retrans setting in setsockopt.Vlad Yasevich
When using ASSOCINFO socket option, we need to limit the number of maximum association retransmissions to be no greater than the sum of all the path retransmissions. This is specified in Section 7.1.2 of the SCTP socket API draft. However, we only do this if the association has multiple paths. If there is only one path, the protocol stack will use the assoc_max_retrans setting when trying to retransmit packets.

2006-05-19[SCTP]: A better solution to fix the race between sctp_peeloff() andVladislav Yasevich
sctp_rcv(). The goal is to hold the ref on the association/endpoint throughout the state-machine process. We accomplish like this: /* ref on the assoc/ep is taken during lookup */ if owned_by_user(sk) sctp_add_backlog(skb, sk); else inqueue_push(skb, sk); /* drop the ref on the assoc/ep */ However, in sctp_add_backlog() we take the ref on assoc/ep and hold it while the skb is on the backlog queue. This allows us to get rid of the sock_hold/sock_put in the lookup routines. Now sctp_backlog_rcv() needs to account for potential association move. In the unlikely event that association moved, we need to retest if the new socket is locked by user. If we don't this, we may have two packets racing up the stack toward the same socket and we can't deal with it. If the new socket is still locked, we'll just add the skb to its backlog continuing to hold the ref on the association. This get's rid of the need to move packets from one backlog to another and it also safe in case new packets arrive on the same backlog queue. The last step, is to lock the new socket when we are moving the association to it. This is needed in case any new packets arrive on the association when it moved. We want these to go to the backlog since we would like to avoid the race between this new packet and a packet that may be sitting on the backlog queue of the old socket toward the same association.

2006-05-05[SCTP]: Prevent possible infinite recursion with multiple bundled DATA.Vladislav Yasevich
There is a rare situation that causes lksctp to go into infinite recursion and crash the system. The trigger is a packet that contains at least the first two DATA fragments of a message bundled together. The recursion is triggered when the user data buffer is smaller that the full data message. The problem is that we clone the skb for every fragment in the message. When reassembling the full message, we try to link skbs from the "first fragment" clone using the frag_list. However, since the frag_list is shared between two clones in this rare situation, we end up setting the frag_list pointer of the second fragment to point to itself. This causes sctp_skb_pull() to potentially recurse indefinitely. Proposed solution is to make a copy of the skb when attempting to link things using frag_list.

2006-03-25[PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notificationsDavide Libenzi
Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP (and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets. Since the existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few places where it makes sense. The same thing was discussed and conceptually agreed quite some time ago: http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116 Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture, even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it. As far as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is. The pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files. The other attached diff is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP definition. There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here: http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

2006-03-25[SCTP]: Fix up sctp_rcv return valueHerbert Xu
I was working on the ipip/xfrm problem and as usual I get side-tracked by other problems. As part of an attempt to change the IPv4 protocol handler calling convention I found that SCTP violated the existing convention. It's returning non-zero values after freeing the skb. This is doubly bad as 1) the skb gets resubmitted; 2) the return value is interpreted as a protocol number. This patch changes those return values to zero. IPv6 doesn't suffer from this problem because it uses a positive return value as an indication for resubmission. So the only effect of this patch there is to increment the IPSTATS_MIB_INDELIVERS counter which IMHO is the right thing to do.

2006-01-17[SCTP]: Fix machine check/connection hang on IA64.Vlad Yasevich
sctp_unpack_cookie used an on-stack array called digest as a result/out parameter in the call to crypto_hmac. However, hmac code (crypto_hmac_final) assumes that the 'out' argument is in virtual memory (identity mapped region) and can use virt_to_page call on it. This does not work with the on-stack declared digest. The problems observed so far have been: a) incorrect hmac digest b) machine check and hardware reset. Solution is to define the digest in an identity mapped region by kmalloc'ing it. We can do this once as part of the endpoint structure and re-use it when verifying the SCTP cookie.

2006-01-17[SCTP]: sctp doesn't show all associations/endpoints in /procVlad Yasevich
When creating a very large number of associations (and endpoints), /proc/assocs and /proc/eps will not show all of them. As a result netstat will not show all of the either. This is particularly evident when creating 1000+ associations (or endpoints). As an example with 1500 tcp style associations over loopback, netstat showed 1420 on my system instead of 3000. The reason for this is that the seq_operations start method is invoked multiple times bacause of the amount of data that is provided. The start method always increments the position parameter and since we use the position as the hash bucket id, we end up skipping hash buckets. This patch corrects this situation and get's rid of the silly hash-1 decrement. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com>
