* [NET]: Move hardware header operations out of netdevice.Stephen Hemminger2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | Since hardware header operations are part of the protocol class not the device instance, make them into a separate object and save memory. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [NET]: Make the loopback device per network namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes loopback_dev per network namespace. Adding code to create a different loopback device for each network namespace and adding the code to free a loopback device when a network namespace exits. This patch modifies all users the loopback_dev so they access it as init_net.loopback_dev, keeping all of the code compiling and working. A later pass will be needed to update the users to use something other than the initial network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [IPV4]: When possible test for IFF_LOOPBACK and not dev == loopback_devEric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | Now that multiple loopback devices are becoming possible it makes the code a little cleaner and more maintainable to test if a deivice is th a loopback device by testing dev->flags & IFF_LOOPBACK instead of dev == loopback_dev.

* [IPV4]: Remove unnecessary test for the loopback device from inetdev_destroyEric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we never call unregister_netdev for the loopback device so it is impossible for us to reach inetdev_destroy with the loopback device. So the test in inetdev_destroy is unnecessary. Further when testing with my network namespace patches removing unregistering the loopback device and calling inetdev_destroy works fine so there appears to be no reason for avoiding unregistering the loopback device.

* [NET]: Add network namespace clone & unshare support.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows you to create a new network namespace using sys_clone, or sys_unshare. As the network namespace is still experimental and under development clone and unshare support is only made available when CONFIG_NET_NS is selected at compile time. As this patch introduces network namespace support into code paths that exist when the CONFIG_NET is not selected there are a few additions made to net_namespace.h to allow a few more functions to be used when the networking stack is not compiled in.

* [NET]: Fix running without sysfsEric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When sysfs support is compiled out the kernel still keeps and maintains the kobject tree. So it is not safe to skip our kobject reference counting or to avoid becoming members of the kobject tree. It is safe to not add the networking specific sysfs attributes. This patch removes the sysfs special cases from net/core/dev.c renames functions from netdev_sysfs_xxxx to netdev_kobject_xxxx and always compiles in net-sysfs.c net-sysfs.c is modified with a CONFIG_SYSFS guard around the parts that are actually sysfs specific.

* [DCCP]: Factor out common code for generating ResetsGerrit Renker2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This factors code common to dccp_v{4,6}_ctl_send_reset into a separate function, and adds support for filling in the Data 1 ... Data 3 fields from RFC 4340, 5.6. It is useful to have this separate, since the following Reset codes will always be generated from the control socket rather than via dccp_send_reset: * Code 3, "No Connection", cf. 8.3.1; * Code 4, "Packet Error" (identification for Data 1 added); * Code 5, "Option Error" (identification for Data 1..3 added, will be used later); * Code 6, "Mandatory Error" (same as Option Error); * Code 7, "Connection Refused" (what on Earth is the difference to "No Connection"?); * Code 8, "Bad Service Code"; * Code 9, "Too Busy"; * Code 10, "Bad Init Cookie" (not used). Code 0 is not recommended by the RFC, the following codes would be used in dccp_send_reset() instead, since they all relate to an established DCCP connection: * Code 1, "Closed"; * Code 2, "Aborted"; * Code 11, "Aggression Penalty" (12.3).

* [DCCP]: Rate-limit DCCP-SyncsGerrit Renker2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4: "To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets, such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second." The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and protects against attacks with forged source addresses. Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets are not supported. This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.) In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended). The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo. Commiter note: Rate limited the step 6 DCCP_WARN too, as it says we're sending a sync.

* [DCCP]: Remove duplicate code for Reset from connected socketGerrit Renker2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this patch, duplicated code is removed for the case when a Reset packet is sent from a connected socket. This code duplication is between dccp_make_reset and dccp_transmit_skb, which already contained an (up to now entirely unused) switch statement to fill in the reset code from the DCCP_SKB_CB. The only thing that has been removed is the call to dst_clone(dst), since the queue_xmit functions use sk_dst_cache anyway. I wasn't sure which purpose inet_sk_rebuild_header served, so I left it in.

* [DCCP]: Add Support for Data 1 .. 3 fields of Reset packetsGerrit Renker2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds fields to support the informational Data 1..3 fields of the DCCP-Reset packets (RFC 4340, 5.6), and makes minor cosmetic changes to documentation.

* [DCCP]: Add FIXME for send_delayed_ackGerrit Renker2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a FIXME to signal that the function dccp_send_delayed_ack is nowhere used in the entire DCCP/CCID code. Using a delayed Ack timer is suggested in 11.3 of RFC 4340, but it has also rather subtle implications for the Ack-Ratio-accounting. CCID2 does not use this (maybe it should). I think leaving the function in is good, in case someone wants to implement this.

Committer note: Made the BUG_ON depend on having CONFIG_IP_DCCP_CCID3_DEBUG, as it is too much to have this on production code.

* [DCCP]: Send Reset upon Sync in state REQUESTGerrit Renker2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the code to correspond to RFC 4340, 7.5.4, which states the exception that a Sync received in state REQUEST generates a Reset (not a SyncAck). To achieve this, only a small change is required. Since dccp_rcv_request_sent_state_process() already uses the correct Reset Code number 4 ("Packet Error"), we only need to shift the if-statement a few lines further down. (To test this case: replace DCCP_PKT_RESPONSE with DCCP_PKT_SYNC in dccp_make_response.)

* [TCP]: Reordered ACK's (old) SACKs not included to discarded MIBIlpo Järvinen2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of ACK reordering, the SACK block might be valid in it's time but is already obsoleted since we've received another kind of confirmation about arrival of the segments through snd_una advancement of an earlier packet. I didn't bother to build distinguishing of valid and invalid SACK blocks but simply made reordered SACK blocks that are too old always not counted regardless of their "real" validity which could be determined by using the ack field of the reordered packet (won't be significant IMHO). DSACKs can very well be considered useful even in this situation, so won't do any of this for them. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [DCCP]: Parameter renamingGerrit Renker2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The parameter `seq' of dccp_send_sync() is in fact an acknowledgement number and not a sequence number - thus renamed by this patch into `ackno'. Secondly, a `critical' warning is added when a Sync/SyncAck could not be sent. Sanity: I have checked all other functions that are called in dccp_transmit_skb, there are no clashes with the use of dccpd_ack_seq; no other function is using this slot at the same time.

* [DCCP]: Fix Reset/Sync-Flood BugGerrit Renker2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates sequence number checking with regard to RFC 4340, 7.5.4. Missing in the code was an exception for sequence-invalid Reset packets, which get a Sync acknowledging GSR, instead of (as usual) P.seqno. This can lead to an oscillating ping-pong flood of Reset packets. In fact, it has been observed on the wire as follows: 1. client establishes connection to server; 2. before server can write to client, client crashes without notifying the server (NB: now no longer possible due to ABORT function); 3. server sends DCCP-Data packet (has no ackno); 4. client generates Reset "No Connection", seqno=0, increments seqno; 5. server replies with Sync, using ackno = P.seqno; 6. client generates Reset "No Connection" with seqno = ackno + 1; 7. goto (5). The difference is that now in (5) the server uses GSR. This causes the Reset sent by the client in (6) to become sequence-valid, so that in (7) the vicious circle is broken; the Reset is then enqueued and causes the socket to enter TIMEWAIT state.

* [DCCP]: Simplify interface of dccp_sample_rttGerrit Renker2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The third parameter of dccp_sample_rtt now becomes useless and is removed. Also combined the subtraction of the timestamp echo and the elapsed time. This is safe, since (a) presence of timestamp echo is tested first and (b) elapsed time is either present and non-zero or it is not set and equals 0 due to the memset in dccp_parse_options. To avoid measuring option-processing time, the timestamp for measuring the initial Request/Response RTT sample is taken directly when the function is called (the Linux implementation always adds a timestamp on the Request, so there is no loss in doing this).

* [DCCP]: Reuse ktime_get_real() calls againGerrit Renker2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reduces the number of timestamps taken in the receive path for each packet. The ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() routine is called in * the receive path for each CCID3-controlled packet * for the nofeedback timer (if no feedback arrives during 4 RTT) Currently, when there is no loss, each packet gets timestamped twice. The patch resolves this by recycling the first timestamp taken on packet reception for RTT sampling. When the no_feedback_timer() is called, then the timestamp argument is simply set to NULL - so that ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() takes care of the logic.

* [TCP]: Enable SACK enhanced FRTO (RFC4138) by defaultIlpo Järvinen2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the description that follows comes from my mail to netdev (some editing done): Main obstacle to FRTO use is its deployment as it has to be on the sender side where as wireless link is often the receiver's access link. Take initiative on behalf of unlucky receivers and enable it by default in future Linux TCP senders. Also IETF seems to interested in advancing FRTO from experimental [1]. How does FRTO help? =================== FRTO detects spurious RTOs and avoids a number of unnecessary retransmissions and a couple of other problems that can arise due to incorrect guess made at RTO (i.e., that segments were lost when they actually got delayed which is likely to occur e.g. in wireless environments with link-layer retransmission). Though FRTO cannot prevent the first (potentially unnecessary) retransmission at RTO, I suspect that it won't cost that much even if you have to pay for each bit (won't be that high percentage out of all packets after all :-)). However, usually when you have a spurious RTO, not only the first segment unnecessarily retransmitted but the *whole window*. It goes like this: all cumulative ACKs got delayed due to in-order delivery, then TCP will actually send 1.5*original cwnd worth of data in the RTO's slow-start when the delayed ACKs arrive (basically the original cwnd worth of it unnecessarily). In case one is interested in minimizing unnecessary retransmissions e.g. due to cost, those rexmissions must never see daylight. Besides, in the worst case the generated burst overloads the bottleneck buffers which is likely to significantly delay the further progress of the flow. In case of ll rexmissions, ACK compression often occurs at the same time making the burst very "sharp edged" (in that case TCP often loses most of the segments above high_seq => very bad performance too). When FRTO is enabled, those unnecessary retransmissions are fully avoided except for the first segment and the cwnd behavior after detected spurious RTO is determined by the response (one can tune that by sysctl). Basic version (non-SACK enhanced one), FRTO can fail to detect spurious RTO as spurious and falls back to conservative behavior. ACK lossage is much less significant than reordering, usually the FRTO can detect spurious RTO if at least 2 cumulative ACKs from original window are preserved (excluding the ACK that advances to high_seq). With SACK-enhanced version, the detection is quite robust. FRTO should remove the need to set a high lower bound for the RTO estimator due to delay spikes that occur relatively common in some environments (esp. in wireless/cellular ones).

* [TCP] FRTO: Improve interoperability with other undo_marker usersIlpo Järvinen2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Basically this change enables it, previously other undo_marker users were left with nothing. Reverse undo_marker logic completely to get it set right in CA_Loss. On the other hand, when spurious RTO is detected, clear it. Clearing might be too heavy for some scenarios but seems safe enough starting point for now and shouldn't have much effect except in majority of cases (if in any). By adding a new FLAG_ we avoid looping through write_queue when RTO occurs. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [TCP]: Cleanup tcp_tso_acked and tcp_clean_rtx_queueIlpo Järvinen2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implements following cleanups: - Comment re-placement (CodingStyle) - tcp_tso_acked() local (wrapper-like) variable removal (readability) - __-types removed (IMHO they make local variables jumpy looking and just was space) - acked -> flag (naming conventions elsewhere in TCP code) - linebreak adjustments (readability) - nested if()s combined (reduced indentation) - clarifying newlines added Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TCP]: Move accounting from tso_acked to clean_rtx_queueIlpo Järvinen2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | The accounting code is pretty much the same, so it's a shame we do it in two places. I'm not too sure if added fully_acked check in MTU probing is really what we want perhaps the added end_seq could be used in the after() comparison.

* [TCP]: Maintain highest_sack accurately to the highest skbIlpo Järvinen2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In general, it should not be necessary to call tcp_fragment for already SACKed skbs, but it's better to be safe than sorry. And indeed, it can be called from sacktag when a DSACK arrives or some ACK (with SACK) reordering occurs (sacktag could be made to avoid the call in the latter case though I'm not sure if it's worth of the trouble and added complexity to cover such marginal case). The collapse case has return for SACKED_ACKED case earlier, so just WARN_ON if internal inconsistency is detected for some reason.
