| * [SCTP]: Fix up sctp_rcv return valueHerbert Xu2006-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | [PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notificationsDavide Libenzi2006-03-25
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [SCTP]: Fix 'fast retransmit' to send a TSN only once.Vlad Yasevich2006-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | SCTP used to "fast retransmit" a TSN every time we hit the number of missing reports for the TSN. However the Implementers Guide specifies that we should only "fast retransmit" a given TSN once. Subsequent retransmits should be timeouts only. Also change the number of missing reports to 3 as per the latest IG(similar to TCP).

* [SCTP]: Fix machine check/connection hang on IA64.Vlad Yasevich2006-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [SCTP]: Fix sctp_assoc_seq_show() panics on big-endian systems.Vlad Yasevich2006-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch corrects the panic by casting the argument to the pointer of correct size. On big-endian systems we ended up loading only 32 bits of data because we are treating the pointer as an int*. By treating this pointer as loff_t*, we'll load the full 64 bits and then let regular integer demotion take place which will give us the correct value.

* [SCTP]: sctp doesn't show all associations/endpoints in /procVlad Yasevich2006-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* [SCTP]: Fix sctp_cookie alignment in the packet.Vlad Yasevich2006-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 64 bit architectures, sctp_cookie sent as part of INIT-ACK is not aligned on a 64 bit boundry and thus causes unaligned access exceptions. The layout of the cookie prameter is this: |<----- Parameter Header --------------------|<--- Cookie DATA -------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | param type (16 bits) | param len (16 bits) | sig [32 bytes] | cookie.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The cookie data portion contains 64 bit values on 64 bit architechtures (timeval) that fall on a 32 bit alignment boundry when used as part of the on-wire format, but align correctly when used in internal structures.

* [NET]: move struct proto_ops to constEric Dumazet2006-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at least) This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const, so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing. This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly) I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make them const. This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and speedup some socket system calls. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TCP]: Move the tcp sock states to net/tcp_states.hArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this enum was, needs it.
