* | net_sched: fix estimator lock selection for mq child qdiscsPatrick McHardy2009-09-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When new child qdiscs are attached to the mq qdisc, they are actually attached as root qdiscs to the device queues. The lock selection for new estimators incorrectly picks the root lock of the existing and to be replaced qdisc, which results in a use-after-free once the old qdisc has been destroyed. Mark mq qdisc instances with a new flag and treat qdiscs attached to mq as children similar to regular root qdiscs. Additionally prevent estimators from being attached to the mq qdisc itself since it only updates its byte and packet counters during dumps.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a brute force removal of the wierd slave interface done for DLCI -> SDLA transmit. Before it was using non-standard return values and freeing skb in caller. This changes it to using normal return values, and freeing in the callee. Luckly only one driver pair was doing this.

* | net_sched: add classful multiqueue dummy schedulerDavid S. Miller2009-09-061-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a classful dummy scheduler which can be used as root qdisc for multiqueue devices and exposes each device queue as a child class. This allows to address queues individually and graft them similar to regular classes. Additionally it presents an accumulated view of the statistics of all real root qdiscs in the dummy root. Two new callbacks are added to the qdisc_ops and qdisc_class_ops: - cl_ops->select_queue selects the tx queue number for new child classes. - qdisc_ops->attach() overrides root qdisc device grafting to attach non-shared qdiscs to the queues.

* | net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_apiPatrick McHardy2009-09-061-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from a few problems: - with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion. - all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a shared qdisc has been attached. - Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete. This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first (non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

* | sctp: Sysctl configuration for IPv4 Address ScopingBhaskar Dutta2009-09-042-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new sysctl option to make IPv4 Address Scoping configurable <draft-stewart-tsvwg-sctp-ipv4-00.txt>. In networking environments where DNAT rules in iptables prerouting chains convert destination IP's to link-local/private IP addresses, SCTP connections fail to establish as the INIT chunk is dropped by the kernel due to address scope match failure. For example to support overlapping IP addresses (same IP address with different vlan id) a Layer-5 application listens on link local IP's, and there is a DNAT rule that maps the destination IP to a link local IP. Such applications never get the SCTP INIT if the address-scoping draft is strictly followed. This sysctl configuration allows SCTP to function in such unconventional networking environments. Sysctl options: 0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping draft altogether 1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping (default, current behavior) 2 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 private addresses in init/init-ack 3 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 link local address in init/init-ack Signed-off-by: Bhaskar Dutta <bhaskar.dutta@globallogic.com> Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had a bug that we never stored the user-defined value for MAXSEG when setting the value on an association. Thus future PMTU events ended up re-writing the frag point and increasing it past user limit. Additionally, when setting the option on the socket/endpoint, we effect all current associations, which is against spec. Now, we store the user 'maxseg' value along with the computed 'frag_point'. We inherit 'maxseg' from the socket at association creation and use it as an upper limit for 'frag_point' when its set. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>
* | sctp: Don't do NAGLE delay on large writes that were fragmented smallVlad Yasevich2009-09-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SCTP will delay the last part of a large write due to NAGLE, if that part is smaller then MTU. Since we are doing large writes, we might as well send the last portion now instead of waiting untill the next large write happens. The small portion will be sent as is regardless, so it's better to not delay it. This is a result of much discussions with Wei Yongjun <yjwei@cn.fujitsu.com> and Doug Graham <dgraham@nortel.com>.

* | sctp: drop a_rwnd to 0 when receive buffer overflows.Vlad Yasevich2009-09-041-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SCTP has a problem that when small chunks are used, it is possible to exhaust the receiver buffer without fully closing receive window. This happens due to all overhead that we have account for with small messages. To fix this, when receive buffer is exceeded, we'll drop the window to 0 and save the 'drop' portion. When application starts reading data and freeing up recevie buffer space, we'll wait until we've reached the 'drop' window and then add back this 'drop' one mtu at a time. This worked well in testing and under stress produced rather even recovery. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>
* | sctp: Send user messages to the lower layer as oneVlad Yasevich2009-09-042-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currenlty, sctp breaks up user messages into fragments and sends each fragment to the lower layer by itself. This means that for each fragment we go all the way down the stack and back up. This also discourages bundling of multiple fragments when they can fit into a sigle packet (ex: due to user setting a low fragmentation threashold). We introduce a new command SCTP_CMD_SND_MSG and hand the whole message down state machine. The state machine and the side-effect parser will cork the queue, add all chunks from the message to the queue, and then un-cork the queue thus causing the chunks to get transmitted.

* | sctp: Disallow new connection on a closing socketVlad Yasevich2009-09-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a socket has a lot of association that are in the process of of being closed/aborted, it is possible for a remote to establish new associations during the time period that the old ones are shutting down. If this was a result of a close() call, there will be no socket and will cause a memory leak. We'll prevent this by setting the socket state to CLOSING and disallow new associations when in this state. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could loop endlessly under memory pressure.

* | | | Revert Backoff [v3]: Calculate TCP's connection close threshold as a time value.Damian Lukowski2009-09-011-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RFC 1122 specifies two threshold values R1 and R2 for connection timeouts, which may represent a number of allowed retransmissions or a timeout value. Currently linux uses sysctl_tcp_retries{1,2} to specify the thresholds in number of allowed retransmissions. For any desired threshold R2 (by means of time) one can specify tcp_retries2 (by means of number of retransmissions) such that TCP will not time out earlier than R2. This is the case, because the RTO schedule follows a fixed pattern, namely exponential backoff. However, the RTO behaviour is not predictable any more if RTO backoffs can be reverted, as it is the case in the draft "Make TCP more Robust to Long Connectivity Disruptions" (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zimmermann-tcp-lcd). In the worst case TCP would time out a connection after 3.2 seconds, if the initial RTO equaled MIN_RTO and each backoff has been reverted. This patch introduces a function retransmits_timed_out(N), which calculates the timeout of a TCP connection, assuming an initial RTO of MIN_RTO and N unsuccessful, exponentially backed-off retransmissions. Whenever timeout decisions are made by comparing the retransmission counter to some value N, this function can be used, instead. The meaning of tcp_retries2 will be changed, as many more RTO retransmissions can occur than the value indicates. However, it yields a timeout which is similar to the one of an unpatched, exponentially backing off TCP in the same scenario. As no application could rely on an RTO greater than MIN_RTO, there should be no risk of a regression.

* | | | Revert Backoff [v3]: Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachableDamian Lukowski2009-09-011-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here, an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, is taken as an indication that the RTO retransmission has not been lost due to congestion, but because of a route failure somewhere along the path. With true congestion, a router won't trigger such a message and the patched TCP will operate as standard TCP. This patch reverts one RTO backoff, if an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, arrives. Based on the new RTO, the retransmission timer is reset to reflect the remaining time, or - if the revert clocked out the timer - a retransmission is sent out immediately. Backoffs are only reverted, if TCP is in RTO loss recovery, i.e. if there have been retransmissions and reversible backoffs, already. Changes from v2: 1) Renaming of skb in tcp_v4_err() moved to another patch. 2) Reintroduced tcp_bound_rto() and __tcp_set_rto(). 3) Fixed code comments.

Section 3.3 defines the application protocol and its 802.1p user priority in DCBX, which is implemented here as a pair of setapp/getapp commands in the kernel dcbnl for setting and retrieving the user priority for an given application protocol. The protocol is identified by the combination of an id and an idtype. Currently, when idtype is 0, the corresponding id gives the ether type of this protocol, e.g., for FCoE, it will be 0x8906; when idtype is 1, then the corresponding id gives the TCP or UDP port number.
