* dccp: fix auto-loading of dccp(_probe)Gerrit Renker2010-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes commit (38ff3e6bb987ec583268da8eb22628293095d43b) ("dccp_probe: Fix module load dependencies between dccp and dccp_probe", from 15 Jan). It fixes the construction of the first argument of try_then_request_module(), where only valid return codes from the first argument should be returned. What we do now is assign the result of register_jprobe() to ret, without the side effect of the comparison.

* dccp: fix bug in cache allocationGerrit Renker2010-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a bug introduced in commit de4ef86cfce60d2250111f34f8a084e769f23b16 ("dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub", 17 Jan): the vsnprintf used sizeof(slab_name_fmt), which became truncated to 4 bytes, since slab_name_fmt is now a 4-byte pointer and no longer a 32-character array. This lead to error messages such as FATAL: Error inserting dccp: No buffer space available >> kernel: [ 1456.341501] kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache cci generated due to the truncation after the 3rd character. Fixed for the moment by introducing a symbolic constant. Tested to fix the bug.

| * kfifo: move struct kfifo in placeStefani Seibold2009-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

* | dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slubNeil Horman2010-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hey all- I was tinkering with dccp recently and noticed that I BUG halted the kernel when I rmmod-ed the dccp module. The bug halt occured because the page that I passed to kfree failed the PageCompound and PageSlab test in the slub implementation of kfree. I tracked the problem down to the following set of events: 1) dccp, unlike all other uses of kmem_cache_create, allocates a string dynamically when registering a slab cache. This allocated string is freed when the cache is destroyed. 2) Normally, (1) is not an issue, but when Slub is in use, it is possible that caches are 'merged'. This process causes multiple caches of simmilar configuration to use the same cache data structure. When this happens, the new name of the cache is effectively dropped. 3) (2) results in kmem_cache_name returning an ambigous value (i.e. ccid_kmem_cache_destroy, which uses this fuction to retrieve the name pointer for freeing), is no longer guaranteed that the string it assigned is what is returned. 4) If such merge event occurs, ccid_kmem_cache_destroy frees the wrong pointer, which trips over the BUG in the slub implementation of kfree (since its likely not a slab allocation, but rather a pointer into the static string table section. So, what to do about this. At first blush this is pretty clearly a leak in the information that slub owns, and as such a slub bug. Unfortunately, theres no really good way to fix it, without exposing slub specific implementation details to the generic slab interface. Also, even if we could fix this in slub cleanly, I think the RCU free option would force us to do lots of string duplication, not only in slub, but in every slab allocator. As such, I'd like to propose this solution. Basically, I just move the storage for the kmem cache name to the ccid_operations structure. In so doing, we don't have to do the kstrdup or kfree when we allocate/free the various caches for dccp, and so we avoid the problem, by storing names with static memory, rather than heap, the way all other calls to kmem_cache_create do. I've tested this out myself here, and it solves the problem quite well. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | dccp_probe: Fix module load dependencies between dccp and dccp_probeNeil Horman2010-01-15
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was just recently reported to me. When built as modules, the dccp_probe module has a silent dependency on the dccp module. This stems from the fact that the module_init routine of dccp_probe registers a jprobe on the dccp_sendmsg symbol. Since the symbol is only referenced as a text string (the .symbol_name field in the jprobe struct) rather than the address of the symbol itself, depmod never picks this dependency up, and so if you load the dccp_probe module without the dccp module loaded, the register_jprobe call fails with an -EINVAL, and the whole module load fails. The fix is pretty easy, we can just wrap the register_jprobe call in a try_then_request_module call, which forces the dependency to get satisfied prior to the probe registration.

The new naming scheme: * struct entries for the TX socket are prefixed by 'tx_'; * and those for the RX socket are prefixed by 'rx_'. The identifiers then remain distinguishable when grep-ing through the tree: (a) RX/TX sockets are distinguished by the naming scheme, (b) individual CCIDs are distinguished by filename (ccid{2,3,4}.{c,h}).

Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask. In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1. The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1 will then endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the socket.

* dccp: Do not let initial option overhead shrink the MPSGerrit Renker2009-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a problem caused by the overlap of the connection-setup and established-state phases of DCCP connections. During connection setup, the client retransmits Confirm Feature-Negotiation options until a response from the server signals that it can move from the half-established PARTOPEN into the OPEN state, whereupon the connection is fully established on both ends (RFC 4340, 8.1.5). However, since the client may already send data while it is in the PARTOPEN state, consequences arise for the Maximum Packet Size: the problem is that the initial option overhead is much higher than for the subsequent established phase, as it involves potentially many variable-length list-type options (server-priority options, RFC 4340, 6.4). Applying the standard MPS is insufficient here: especially with larger payloads this can lead to annoying, counter-intuitive EMSGSIZE errors. On the other hand, reducing the MPS available for the established phase by the added initial overhead is highly wasteful and inefficient. The solution chosen therefore is a two-phase strategy: If the payload length of the DataAck in PARTOPEN is too large, an Ack is sent to carry the options, and the feature-negotiation list is then flushed. This means that the server gets two Acks for one Response. If both Acks get lost, it is probably better to restart the connection anyway and devising yet another special-case does not seem worth the extra complexity. The result is a higher utilisation of the available packet space for the data transmission phase (established state) of a connection. The patch (over-)estimates the initial overhead to be 32*4 bytes -- commonly seen values were around 90 bytes for initial feature-negotiation options. It uses sizeof(u32) to mean "aligned units of 4 bytes". For consistency, another use of 4-byte alignment is adapted. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

* dccp: Minimise header option overhead in setting the MPSGerrit Renker2009-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch resolves a long-standing FIXME to dynamically update the Maximum Packet Size depending on actual options usage. It uses the flags set by the feature-negotiation infrastructure to compute the required header option size. Most options are fixed-size, a notable exception are Ack Vectors (required currently only by CCID-2). These can have any length between 3 and 1020 bytes. As a result of testing, 16 bytes (2 bytes for type/length plus 14 Ack Vector cells) have been found to be sufficient for loss-free situations. There are currently no CCID-specific header options which may appear on data packets, thus it is not necessary to define a corresponding CCID field as suggested in the old comment. Further changes: ---------------- Adjusted the type of 'cur_mps' to match the unsigned return type of the function.

* dccp: Initialisation and type-checking of feature sysctlsGerrit Renker2009-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch takes care of initialising and type-checking sysctls related to feature negotiation. Type checking is important since some of the sysctls now directly impact the feature-negotiation process. The sysctls are initialised with the known default values for each feature. For the type-checking the value constraints from RFC 4340 are used: * Sequence Window uses the specified Wmin=32, the maximum is ulong (4 bytes), tested and confirmed that it works up to 4294967295 - for Gbps speed; * Ack Ratio is between 0 .. 0xffff (2-byte unsigned integer); * CCIDs are between 0 .. 255; * request_retries, retries1, retries2 also between 0..255 for good measure; * tx_qlen is checked to be non-negative; * sync_ratelimit remains as before. Notes: ------ 1. Die s@sysctl_dccp_feat@sysctl_dccp@g since the sysctls are now in feat.c. 2. As pointed out by Arnaldo, the pattern of type-checking repeats itself in other places, sometimes with exactly the same kind of definitions (e.g. "static int zero;"). It may be a good idea (kernel janitors?) to consolidate type checking. For the sake of keeping the changeset small and in order not to affect other subsystems, I have not strived to generalise here.

Specifically, the following is contained in this patch: * integrated new socket fields into dccp_sk; * updated the update_gsr/gss routines with regard to these fields; * updated handler code: the Sequence Window feature is located at the TX side, so the local feature is meant if the handler-rx flag is false; * the initialisation of `rcv_wnd' in reqsk is removed, since - rcv_wnd is not used by the code anywhere; - sequence number checks are not done in the LISTEN state (cf. 7.5.3); - dccp_check_req checks the Ack number validity more rigorously; * the `struct dccp_minisock' became empty and is now removed.

CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10); CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.
