* [IP_SOCKGLUE]: Remove most of the tcp specific callsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2006-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As DCCP needs to be called in the same spots. Now we have a member in inet_sock (is_icsk), set at sock creation time from struct inet_protosw->flags (if INET_PROTOSW_ICSK is set, like for TCP and DCCP) to see if a struct sock instance is a inet_connection_sock for places like the ones in ip_sockglue.c (v4 and v6) where we previously were looking if sk_type was SOCK_STREAM, that is insufficient because we now use the same code for DCCP, that has sk_type SOCK_DCCP.

* [TCP] Vegas: timestamp before cloneDavid S. Miller2005-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We have to store the congestion control timestamp on the SKB before we clone it, not after. Else we get no timestamping information at all. tcp_transmit_skb() has been reworked so that we can do the timestamp still in one spot, instead of at all the call sites.

* [TCP]: fix congestion window update when using TSO deferalStephen Hemminger2005-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful. On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and 50Mbits/sec without TSO. The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window unless we have filled, as per RFC2861. This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full with something smarter that accounts for TSO.

* [TCP]: Revert 6b251858d377196b8cea20e65cae60f584a42735David S. Miller2005-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | But retain the comment fix. Alexey Kuznetsov has explained the situation as follows: -------------------- I think the fix is incorrect. Look, the RFC function init_cwnd(mss) is not continuous: f.e. for mss=1095 it needs initial window 1095*4, but for mss=1096 it is 1096*3. We do not know exactly what mss sender used for calculations. If we advertised 1096 (and calculate initial window 3*1096), the sender could limit it to some value < 1096 and then it will need window his_mss*4 > 3*1096 to send initial burst. See? So, the honest function for inital rcv_wnd derived from tcp_init_cwnd() is: init_rcv_wnd(mss)= min { init_cwnd(mss1)*mss1 for mss1 <= mss } It is something sort of: if (mss < 1096) return mss*4; if (mss < 1096*2) return 1096*4; return mss*2; (I just scrablled a graph of piece of paper, it is difficult to see or to explain without this) I selected it differently giving more window than it is strictly required. Initial receive window must be large enough to allow sender following to the rfc (or just setting initial cwnd to 2) to send initial burst. But besides that it is arbitrary, so I decided to give slack space of one segment. Actually, the logic was: If mss is low/normal (<=ethernet), set window to receive more than initial burst allowed by rfc under the worst conditions i.e. mss*4. This gives slack space of 1 segment for ethernet frames. For msses slighlty more than ethernet frame, take 3. Try to give slack space of 1 frame again. If mss is huge, force 2*mss. No slack space. Value 1460*3 is really confusing. Minimal one is 1096*2, but besides that it is an arbitrary value. It was meant to be ~4096. 1460*3 is just the magic number from RFC, 1460*3 = 1095*4 is the magic :-), so that I guess hands typed this themselves. -------------------- Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TCP]: Adjust Reno SACK estimate in tcp_fragmentHerbert Xu2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the introduction of TSO pcount a year ago, it has been possible for tcp_fragment() to cause packets_out to decrease. Prior to that, tcp_retrans_try_collapse() was the only way for that to happen on the retransmission path. When this happens with Reno, it is possible for sasked_out to become invalid because it is only an estimate and not tied to any particular packet on the retransmission queue. Therefore we need to adjust sacked_out as well as left_out in the Reno case. The following patch does exactly that. This bug is pretty difficult to trigger in practice though since you need a SACKless peer with a retransmission that occurs just as the cached MTU value expires.

* [TCP]: Handle SACK'd packets properly in tcp_fragment().Herbert Xu2005-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is that we're now calling tcp_fragment() in a context where the packets might be marked as SACKED_ACKED or SACKED_RETRANS. This was not possible before as you never retransmitted packets that are so marked. Because of this, we need to adjust sacked_out and retrans_out in tcp_fragment(). This is exactly what the following patch does. We also need to preserve the SACKED_ACKED/SACKED_RETRANS marking if they exist.

* [TCP]: Compute in_sacked properly when we split up a TSO frame.Herbert Xu2005-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is that the SACK fragmenting code may incorrectly call tcp_fragment() with a length larger than the skb->len. This happens when the skb on the transmit queue completely falls to the LHS of the SACK. And add a BUG() check to tcp_fragment() so we can spot this kind of error more quickly in the future.

Most of it is just changes of struct tcp_sock * to struct sock * parameters. With this we move to a state closer to two interesting goals: 1. Generalisation of net/ipv4/tcp_diag.c, becoming inet_diag.c, being used for any INET transport protocol that has struct inet_hashinfo and are derived from struct inet_connection_sock. Keeps the userspace API, that will just not display DCCP sockets, while newer versions of tools can support DCCP. 2.

* [TCP]: Fix bug #5070: kernel BUG at net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:864Herbert Xu2005-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) We send out a normal sized packet with TSO on to start off. 2) ICMP is received indicating a smaller MTU. 3) We send the current sk_send_head which needs to be fragmented since it was created before the ICMP event. The first fragment is then sent out. At this point the remaining fragment is allocated by tcp_fragment. However, its size is padded to fit the L1 cache-line size therefore creating tail-room up to 124 bytes long. This fragment will also be sitting at sk_send_head. 4) tcp_sendmsg is called again and it stores data in the tail-room of of the fragment. 5) tcp_push_one is called by tcp_sendmsg which then calls tso_fragment since the packet as a whole exceeds the MTU. At this point we have a packet that has data in the head area being fed to tso_fragment which bombs out. My take on this is that we shouldn't ever call tcp_fragment on a TSO socket for a packet that is yet to be transmitted since this creates a packet on sk_send_head that cannot be extended. So here is a patch to change it so that tso_fragment is always used in this case. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [TCP]: Adjust {p,f}ackets_out correctly in tcp_retransmit_skb()Herbert Xu2005-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Well I've only found one potential cause for the assertion failure in tcp_mark_head_lost. First of all, this can only occur if cnt > 1 since tp->packets_out is never zero here. If it did hit zero we'd have much bigger problems. So cnt is equal to fackets_out - reordering. Normally fackets_out is less than packets_out. The only reason I've found that might cause fackets_out to exceed packets_out is if tcp_fragment is called from tcp_retransmit_skb with a TSO skb and the current MSS is greater than the MSS stored in the TSO skb. This might occur as the result of an expiring dst entry. In that case, packets_out may decrease (line 1380-1381 in tcp_output.c). However, fackets_out is unchanged which means that it may in fact exceed packets_out. Previously tcp_retrans_try_collapse was the only place where packets_out can go down and it takes care of this by decrementing fackets_out. So we should make sure that fackets_out is reduced by an appropriate amount here as well. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [PATCH] tcp: fix TSO sizing bugsDavid S. Miller2005-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MSS changes can be lost since we preemptively initialize the tso_segs count for an SKB before we %100 commit to sending it out. So, by the time we send it out, the tso_size information can be stale due to PMTU events. This mucks up all of the logic in our send engine, and can even result in the BUG() triggering in tcp_tso_should_defer(). Another problem we have is that we're storing the tp->mss_cache, not the SACK block normalized MSS, as the tso_size. That's wrong too. Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TCP]: Never TSO defer under periods of congestion.David S. Miller2005-07-05

* [TCP]: Move to new TSO segmenting scheme.David S. Miller2005-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make TSO segment transmit size decisions at send time not earlier. The basic scheme is that we try to build as large a TSO frame as possible when pulling in the user data, but the size of the TSO frame output to the card is determined at transmit time. This is guided by tp->xmit_size_goal. It is always set to a multiple of MSS and tells sendmsg/sendpage how large an SKB to try and build. Later, tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_push_one() chop up the packet if necessary and conditions warrant. These routines can also decide to "defer" in order to wait for more ACKs to arrive and thus allow larger TSO frames to be emitted. A general observation is that TSO elongates the pipe, thus requiring a larger congestion window and larger buffering especially at the sender side. Therefore, it is important that applications 1) get a large enough socket send buffer (this is accomplished by our dynamic send buffer expansion code) 2) do large enough writes.

* [TCP]: Eliminate redundant computations in tcp_write_xmit().David S. Miller2005-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_snd_test() is run for every packet output by a single call to tcp_write_xmit(), but this is not necessary.

* [TCP]: Fix __tcp_push_pending_frames() 'nonagle' handling.David S. Miller2005-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'nonagle' should be passed to the tcp_snd_test() function as 'TCP_NAGLE_PUSH' if we are checking an SKB not at the tail of the write_queue. This is because Nagle does not apply to such frames since we cannot possibly tack more data onto them. However, while doing this __tcp_push_pending_frames() makes all of the packets in the write_queue use this modified 'nonagle' value. Fix the bug and simplify this function by just calling tcp_write_xmit() directly if sk_send_head is non-NULL. As a result, we can now make tcp_data_snd_check() just call tcp_push_pending_frames() instead of the specialized __tcp_data_snd_check(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [NET] Generalise TCP's struct open_request minisock infrastructureArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to ease peer review. Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn has two new members: ->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep ->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for a specific protocol The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an open_request. I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an or_calltable. Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-) Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g, etc. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TCP]: skb pcount with MTU discoveryDavid S. Miller2005-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is that when doing MTU discovery, the too-large segments in the write queue will be calculated as having a pcount of >1. When tcp_write_xmit() is trying to send, tcp_snd_test() fails the cwnd test when pcount > cwnd. The segments are eventually transmitted one at a time by keepalive, but this can take a long time. This patch checks if TSO is enabled when setting pcount. Signed-off-by: John Heffner <jheffner@psc.edu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
