2010-10-12dccp: fix the adjustments to AWL and SWLGerrit Renker
This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno validity: currently the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL are only performed once at the begin of the connection, during the handshake. Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2), it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection. This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time during the lifetime of a connection. Therefore it is better to perform that safety check each time SWL/AWL are updated, as implemented by the patch. A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the feature negotiation has completed. During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection; the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).

2010-09-21dccp tfrc/ccid-3: computing the loss rate from the Loss Event RateGerrit Renker
This adds a function to take care of the following, separate cases occurring in the computation of the Loss Rate p: * 1/(2^32-1) is mapped into 0% as per RFC 4342, 8.5; * 1/0 is mapped into 100%, the maximum; * to avoid that p = 1/x is rounded down to 0 when x is very large, since this means accidentally re-entering slow-start indicated by p == 0, the minimum resolution value of p is now returned instead; * a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed: 1/0 was mapped into ~0U.

2010-09-21dccp ccid-3: remove dead statesGerrit Renker
This patch is thanks to an investigation by Leandro Sales de Melo and his colleagues. They worked out two state diagrams which highlight the fact that the xxx_TERM states in CCID-3/4 are in fact not necessary. And this can be confirmed by in turn looking at the code: the xxx_TERM states are only ever set in ccid3_hc_{rx,tx}_exit(): when CCID-3 sets the state to xxx_TERM, it is at a time where no more processing should be going on, hence it is not necessary to introduce a dedicated exit state - this is already implied by unloading the CCID.

2010-09-21dccp: Replace magic CCID-specific numbers by symbolic constantsGerrit Renker
The constants DCCPO_{MIN,MAX}_CCID_SPECIFIC are nowhere used in the code, but instead for the CCID-specific options numbers are used. This patch unifies the use of CCID-specific option numbers, by adding symbolic names reflecting the definitions in RFC 4340, 10.3. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2010-09-21dccp: Add packet type information to CCID-specific option parsingGerrit Renker
This 1. adds packet type information to ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is necessary, since table 3 in RFC 4340, 5.8 leaves it to the CCIDs to state which options may (not) appear on what packet type. 2. adds such a check for CCID-3's {Loss Event, Receive} Rate as specified in RFC 4340 8.3 ("Receive Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets") and 8.5 ("Loss Event Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets"). 3. removes an unused argument `idx' from ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is also no longer necessary, since the CCID-specific option-parsing routines are passed every single parameter of the type-length-value option encoding.

2010-09-15dccp ccid-3: Simplify and consolidate tx_parse_optionsGerrit Renker
This simplifies and consolidates the TX option-parsing code: 1. The Loss Intervals option is not currently used, so dead code related to this option is removed. I am aware of no plans to support the option, but if someone wants to implement it (e.g. for inter-op tests), it is better to start afresh than having to also update currently unused code. 2. The Loss Event and Receive Rate options have a lot of code in common (both are 32 bit, both have same length etc.), so this is consolidated. 3. The test against GSR is not necessary, because - on first loading CCID3, ccid_new() zeroes out all fields in the socket; - ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv() treats 0 and ~0U equivalently, due to pinv = opt_recv->ccid3or_loss_event_rate; if (pinv == ~0U || pinv == 0) hctx->p = 0; - as a result, the sequence number field is removed from opt_recv.

2010-09-15dccp ccid-3: remove buggy RTT-sampling history lookupGerrit Renker
This removes the RTT-sampling function tfrc_tx_hist_rtt(), since 1. it suffered from complex passing of return values (the return value both indicated successful lookup while the value doubled as RTT sample); 2. when for some odd reason the sample value equalled 0, this triggered a bug warning about "bogus Ack", due to the ambiguity of the return value; 3. on a passive host which has not sent anything the TX history is empty and thus will lead to unwanted "bogus Ack" warnings such as ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-28197148 ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-26641606. The fix is to replace the implicit encoding by performing the steps manually. Furthermore, the "bogus Ack" warning has been removed, since it can actually be triggered due to several reasons (network reordering, old packet, (3) above), hence it is not very useful.

2010-09-15dccp ccid-3: A lower bound for the inter-packet scheduling algorithmGerrit Renker
This fixes a subtle bug in the calculation of the inter-packet gap and shows that t_delta, as it is currently used, is not needed. The algorithm from RFC 5348, 8.3 below continually computes a send time t_nom, which is initialised with the current time t_now; t_gran = 1E6 / HZ specifies the scheduling granularity, s the packet size, and X the sending rate: t_distance = t_nom - t_now; // in microseconds t_delta = min(t_ipi, t_gran) / 2; // `delta' parameter in microseconds if (t_distance >= t_delta) { reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds; } else { t_ipi = s / X; // inter-packet interval in usec t_nom += t_ipi; // compute the next send time send packet now; } Problem: -------- Rescheduling requires a conversion into milliseconds (sk_reset_timer()). The highest jiffy resolution with HZ=1000 is 1 millisecond, so using a higher granularity does not make much sense here. As a consequence, values of t_distance < 1000 are truncated to 0. This issue has so far been resolved by using instead if (t_distance >= t_delta + 1000) reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds; This is unnecessarily large, a lower bound is t_delta' = max(t_delta, 1000). And it implies a further simplification: a) when HZ >= 500, then t_delta <= t_gran/2 = 10^6/(2*HZ) <= 1000, so that t_delta' = MAX(1000, t_delta) = 1000 (constant value); b) when HZ < 500, then t_delta = 1/2*MIN(rtt, t_ipi, t_gran) <= t_gran/2, so that 1000 <= t_delta' <= t_gran/2. The maximum error of using a constant t_delta in (b) is less than half a jiffy. Fix: ---- The patch replaces t_delta with a constant, whose value depends on CONFIG_HZ, changing the above algorithm to: if (t_distance >= t_delta') reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds; where t_delta' = 10^6/(2*HZ) if HZ < 500, and t_delta' = 1000 otherwise.

2010-08-30dccp ccid-3: use per-route RTO or TCP RTO as fallbackGerrit Renker
This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN also available to CCID-3, replacing the compile-time RTO lower bound with a per-route tunable value. The original Kconfig option solved the problem that a very low RTT (in the order of HZ) can trigger too frequent and unnecessary reductions of the sending rate. This tunable does not affect the initial RTO value of 2 seconds specified in RFC 5348, section 4.2 and Appendix B. But like the hardcoded Kconfig value, it allows to adapt to network conditions. The same effect as the original Kconfig option of 100ms is now achieved by > ip route replace to unicast 192.168.0.0/24 rto_min 100j dev eth0 (assuming HZ=1000).

2010-08-30dccp ccid-2: Share TCP's minimum RTO codeGerrit Renker
Using a fixed RTO_MIN of 0.2 seconds was found to cause problems for CCID-2 over 802.11g: at least once per session there was a spurious timeout. It helped to then increase the the value of RTO_MIN over this link. Since the problem is the same as in TCP, this patch makes the solution from commit "05bb1fad1cde025a864a90cfeb98dcbefe78a44a" "[TCP]: Allow minimum RTO to be configurable via routing metrics." available to DCCP. This avoids reinventing the wheel, so that e.g. the following works in the expected way now also for CCID-2: > ip route change 10.0.0.2 rto_min 800 dev ath0 Luckily this useful rto_min function was recently moved to net/tcp.h, which simplifies sharing code originating from TCP.

2010-08-30dccp ccid-2: Remove wrappers around sk_{reset,stop}_timer()Gerrit Renker
This removes the wrappers around the sk timer functions, since not much is gained from using them: the BUG_ON in start_rto_timer will never trigger since that function is called only if: * the RTO timer expires (rto_expire, and then timer_pending() is false); * in tx_packet_sent only if !timer_pending() (BUG_ON is redundant here); * previously in new_ack, after stopping the timer (timer_pending() false). Removing the wrappers also clears the way for eventually replacing the RTO timer with the icsk-retransmission-timer, as it is already part of the DCCP socket.

2010-08-30dccp ccid-2: Use u32 timestamps uniformlyGerrit Renker
Since CCID-2 is de facto a mini implementation of TCP, it makes sense to share as much code as possible. Hence this patch aligns CCID-2 timestamping with TCP timestamping. This also halves the space consumption (on 64-bit systems). The necessary include file <net/tcp.h> is already included by way of net/dccp.h. Redundant includes have been removed.

2010-08-24dccp ccid-2: Replace broken RTT estimator with better algorithmGerrit Renker
The current CCID-2 RTT estimator code is in parts broken and lags behind the suggestions in RFC2988 of using scaled variants for SRTT/RTTVAR. That code is replaced by the present patch, which reuses the Linux TCP RTT estimator code. Further details: ---------------- 1. The minimum RTO of previously one second has been replaced with TCP's, since RFC4341, sec. 5 says that the minimum of 1 sec. (suggested in RFC2988, 2.4) is not necessary. Instead, the TCP_RTO_MIN is used, which agrees with DCCP's concept of a default RTT (RFC 4340, 3.4). 2. The maximum RTO has been set to DCCP_RTO_MAX (64 sec), which agrees with RFC2988, (2.5). 3. De-inlined the function ccid2_new_ack(). 4. Added a FIXME: the RTT is sampled several times per Ack Vector, which will give the wrong estimate. It should be replaced with one sample per Ack. However, at the moment this can not be resolved easily, since - it depends on TX history code (which also needs some work), - the cleanest solution is not to use the `sent' time at all (saves 4 bytes per entry) and use DCCP timestamps / elapsed time to estimated the RTT, which however is non-trivial to get right (but needs to be done). Reasons for reusing the Linux TCP estimator algorithm: ------------------------------------------------------ Some time was spent to find a better alternative, using basic RFC2988 as a first step. Further analysis and experimentation showed that the Linux TCP RTO estimator is superior to a basic RFC2988 implementation. A summary is on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/ccid2/rto_estimator/ In addition, this estimator fared well in a recent empirical evaluation: Rewaskar, Sushant, Jasleen Kaur and F. Donelson Smith. A Performance Study of Loss Detection/Recovery in Real-world TCP Implementations. Proceedings of 15th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP-07), 2007. Thus there is significant benefit in reusing the existing TCP code. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-08-24dccp ccid-2: Simplify dec_pipe and rearming of RTO timerGerrit Renker
This removes the dec_pipe function and improves the way the RTO timer is rearmed when a new acknowledgment comes in. Details and justification for removal: -------------------------------------- 1) The BUG_ON in dec_pipe is never triggered: pipe is only decremented for TX history entries between tail and head, for which it had previously been incremented in tx_packet_sent; and it is not decremented twice for the same entry, since it is - either decremented when a corresponding Ack Vector cell in state 0 or 1 was received (and then ccid2s_acked==1), - or it is decremented when ccid2s_acked==0, as part of the loss detection in tx_packet_recv (and hence it can not have been decremented earlier). 2) Restarting the RTO timer happens for every single entry in each Ack Vector parsed by tx_packet_recv (according to RFC 4340, 11.4 this can happen up to 16192 times per Ack Vector). 3) The RTO timer should not be restarted when all outstanding data has been acknowledged. This is currently done similar to (2), in dec_pipe, when pipe has reached 0. The patch onsolidates the code which rearms the RTO timer, combining the segments from new_ack and dec_pipe. As a result, the code becomes clearer (compare with tcp_rearm_rto()). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-08-24dccp ccid-2: Remove redundant sanity testsGerrit Renker
This removes the ccid2_hc_tx_check_sanity function: it is redundant. Details: The tx_check_sanity function performs three tests: 1) it checks that the circular TX list is sorted - in ascending order of sequence number (ccid2s_seq) - and time (ccid2s_sent), - in the direction from `tail' (hctx_seqt) to `head' (hctx_seqh); 2) it ensures that the entire list has the length seqbufc * CCID2_SEQBUF_LEN; 3) it ensures that pipe equals the number of packets that were not marked `acked' (ccid2s_acked) between `tail' and `head'. The following argues that each of these tests is redundant, this can be verified by going through the code. (1) is not necessary, since both time and GSS increase from one packet to the next, so that subsequent insertions in tx_packet_sent (which advance the `head' pointer) will be in ascending order of time and sequence number. In (2), the length of the list is always equal to seqbufc times CCID2_SEQBUF_LEN (set to 1024) unless allocation caused an earlier failure, because: * at initialisation (tx_init), there is one chunk of size 1024 and seqbufc=1; * subsequent calls to tx_alloc_seq take place whenever head->next == tail in tx_packet_sent; then a new chunk of size 1024 is inserted between head and tail, and seqbufc is incremented by one. To show that (3) is redundant requires looking at two cases. The `pipe' variable of the TX socket is incremented only in tx_packet_sent, and decremented in tx_packet_recv. When head == tail (TX history empty) then pipe should be 0, which is the case directly after initialisation and after a retransmission timeout has occurred (ccid2_hc_tx_rto_expire). The first case involves parsing Ack Vectors for packets recorded in the live portion of the buffer, between tail and head. For each packet marked by the receiver as received (state 0) or ECN-marked (state 1), pipe is decremented by one, so for all such packets the BUG_ON in tx_check_sanity will not trigger. The second case is the loss detection in the second half of tx_packet_recv, below the comment "Check for NUMDUPACK". The first while-loop here ensures that the sequence number of `seqp' is either above or equal to `high_ack', or otherwise equal to the highest sequence number sent so far (of the entry head->prev, as head points to the next unsent entry). The next while-loop ("while (1)") counts the number of acked packets starting from that position of seqp, going backwards in the direction from head->prev to tail. If NUMDUPACK=3 such packets were counted within this loop, `seqp' points to the last acknowledged packet of these, and the "if (done == NUMDUPACK)" block is entered next. The while-loop contained within that block in turn traverses the list backwards, from head to tail; the position of `seqp' is saved in the variable `last_acked'. For each packet not marked as `acked', a congestion event is triggered within the loop, and pipe is decremented. The loop terminates when `seqp' has reached `tail', whereupon tail is set to the position previously stored in `last_acked'. Thus, between `last_acked' and the previous position of `tail', - pipe has been decremented earlier if the packet was marked as state 0 or 1; - pipe was decremented if the packet was not marked as acked. That is, pipe has been decremented by the number of packets between `last_acked' and the previous position of `tail'. As a consequence, pipe now again reflects the number of packets which have not (yet) been acked between the new position of tail (at `last_acked') and head->prev, or 0 if head==tail. The result is that the BUG_ON condition in check_sanity will also not be triggered, hence the test (3) is also redundant. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-08-24dccp ccid-3: No more CCID control blocks in LISTEN stateGerrit Renker
The CCIDs are activated as last of the features, at the end of the handshake, were the LISTEN state of the master socket is inherited into the server state of the child socket. Thus, the only states visible to CCIDs now are OPEN/PARTOPEN, and the closing states. This allows to remove tests which were previously necessary to protect against referencing a socket in the listening state (in CCID-3), but which now have become redundant. As a further byproduct of enabling the CCIDs only after the connection has been fully established, several typecast-initialisations of ccid3_hc_{rx,tx}_sock can now be eliminated: * the CCID is loaded, so it is not necessary to test if it is NULL, * if it is possible to load a CCID and leave the private area NULL, then this is a bug, which should crash loudly - and earlier, * the test for state==OPEN || state==PARTOPEN now reduces only to the closing phase (e.g. when the node has received an unexpected Reset).

This patch is thanks to Andre Noll who reported the issue and helped testing. The Syn-RTT sampled during the initial handshake currently only works for the client sending the DCCP-Request. TFRC penalizes the absence of an RTT sample with a very slow initial speed (1 packet per second), which delays slow-start significantly, resulting in sluggish performance. This patch mirrors the "Syn RTT" principle by adding a timestamp also onto the DCCP-Response, producing an RTT sample when the (Data)Ack completing the handshake arrives.

2010-05-01net: sock_def_readable() and friends RCU conversionEric Dumazet
sk_callback_lock rwlock actually protects sk->sk_sleep pointer, so we need two atomic operations (and associated dirtying) per incoming packet. RCU conversion is pretty much needed : 1) Add a new structure, called "struct socket_wq" to hold all fields that will need rcu_read_lock() protection (currently: a wait_queue_head_t and a struct fasync_struct pointer). [Future patch will add a list anchor for wakeup coalescing] 2) Attach one of such structure to each "struct socket" created in sock_alloc_inode(). 3) Respect RCU grace period when freeing a "struct socket_wq" 4) Change sk_sleep pointer in "struct sock" by sk_wq, pointer to "struct socket_wq" 5) Change sk_sleep() function to use new sk->sk_wq instead of sk->sk_sleep 6) Change sk_has_sleeper() to wq_has_sleeper() that must be used inside a rcu_read_lock() section. 7) Change all sk_has_sleeper() callers to : - Use rcu_read_lock() instead of read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) - Use wq_has_sleeper() to eventually wakeup tasks. - Use rcu_read_unlock() instead of read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) 8) sock_wake_async() is modified to use rcu protection as well. 9) Exceptions : macvtap, drivers/net/tun.c, af_unix use integrated "struct socket_wq" instead of dynamically allocated ones. They dont need rcu freeing. Some cleanups or followups are probably needed, (possible sk_callback_lock conversion to a spinlock for example...).

2010-04-13net: sk_dst_cache RCUificationEric Dumazet
With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this work. sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock) This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU again :) This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers. __sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check() condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk)) This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets, for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-15net-2.6 [Bug-Fix][dccp]: fix oops caused after failed initialisationGerrit Renker
dccp: fix panic caused by failed initialisation This fixes a kernel panic reported thanks to Andre Noll: if DCCP is compiled into the kernel and any out of the initialisation steps in net/dccp/proto.c:dccp_init() fail, a subsequent attempt to create a SOCK_DCCP socket will panic, since inet{,6}_create() are not prevented from creating DCCP sockets. This patch fixes the problem by propagating a failure in dccp_init() to dccp_v{4,6}_init_net(), and from there to dccp_v{4,6}_init(), so that the DCCP protocol is not made available if its initialisation fails.

2010-02-13dccp: support for passing MSG_TRUNCGerrit Renker
DCCP is datagram-oriented but lacks UDP's support for MSG_TRUNC as defined in recvmsg(2)/recv(2). Hence the following 'Hello world\0' receiver len = recv(fd, buf, 10, MSG_PEEK | MSG_TRUNC); wrongly (always) returns 10, while in UDP it returns 12 as expected. This patch adds the missing MSG_TRUNC support to recvmsg(). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-12dccp: allow probing of CCID-array lengthGerrit Renker
This fixes a problem in the DCCP getsockopt() API: currently there is no way for a user to a priori know the number of built-in CCIDs, other than trying DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until EINVAL is no longer returned. This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made when the length is <= 0. Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the minimum array length remains 4, which is a reasonable default (only 3 CCIDs, CCID-2..4, are currently defined).
