2011-01-11tcp: disallow bind() to reuse addr/portEric Dumazet
inet_csk_bind_conflict() logic currently disallows a bind() if it finds a friend socket (a socket bound on same address/port) satisfying a set of conditions : 1) Current (to be bound) socket doesnt have sk_reuse set OR 2) other socket doesnt have sk_reuse set OR 3) other socket is in LISTEN state We should add the CLOSE state in the 3) condition, in order to avoid two REUSEADDR sockets in CLOSE state with same local address/port, since this can deny further operations. Note : a prior patch tried to address the problem in a different (and buggy) way. (commit fda48a0d7a8412ced tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound).

2011-01-11arp: allow to invalidate specific ARP entriesMaxim Levitsky
IPv4 over firewire needs to be able to remove ARP entries from the ARP cache that belong to nodes that are removed, because IPv4 over firewire uses ARP packets for private information about nodes. This information becomes invalid as soon as node drops off the bus and when it reconnects, its only possible to start talking to it after it responded to an ARP packet. But ARP cache prevents such packets from being sent. Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Using "iptables -L" with a lot of rules have a too big BH latency. Jesper mentioned ~6 ms and worried of frame drops. Switch to a per_cpu seqlock scheme, so that taking a snapshot of counters doesnt need to block BH (for this cpu, but also other cpus). This adds two increments on seqlock sequence per ipt_do_table() call, its a reasonable cost for allowing "iptables -L" not block BH processing.

Due to NLM_F_DUMP is composed of two bits, NLM_F_ROOT | NLM_F_MATCH, when doing "if (x & NLM_F_DUMP)", it tests for _either_ of the bits being set.

2011-01-06netfilter: fix export secctx error handlingPablo Neira Ayuso
In 1ae4de0cdf855305765592647025bde55e85e451, the secctx was exported via the /proc/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack and ctnetlink interfaces instead of the secmark. That patch introduced the use of security_secid_to_secctx() which may return a non-zero value on error. In one of my setups, I have NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK enabled but no security modules. Thus, security_secid_to_secctx() returns a negative value that results in the breakage of the /proc and `conntrack -L' outputs. To fix this, we skip the inclusion of secctx if the aforementioned function fails. This patch also fixes the dynamic netlink message size calculation if security_secid_to_secctx() returns an error, since its logic is also wrong. This problem exists in Linux kernel >= 2.6.37.

2011-01-06ipv4: IP defragmentation must be ECN awareEric Dumazet
RFC3168 (The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification to IP) states : 5.3. Fragmentation ECN-capable packets MAY have the DF (Don't Fragment) bit set. Reassembly of a fragmented packet MUST NOT lose indications of congestion. In other words, if any fragment of an IP packet to be reassembled has the CE codepoint set, then one of two actions MUST be taken: * Set the CE codepoint on the reassembled packet. However, this MUST NOT occur if any of the other fragments contributing to this reassembly carries the Not-ECT codepoint. * The packet is dropped, instead of being reassembled, for any other reason. This patch implements this requirement for IPv4, choosing the first action : If one fragment had NO-ECT codepoint reassembled frame has NO-ECT ElIf one fragment had CE codepoint reassembled frame has CE Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-12-21TCP: increase default initial receive window.Nandita Dukkipati
This patch changes the default initial receive window to 10 mss (defined constant). The default window is limited to the maximum of 10*1460 and 2*mss (when mss > 1460). draft-ietf-tcpm-initcwnd-00 is a proposal to the IETF that recommends increasing TCP's initial congestion window to 10 mss or about 15KB. Leading up to this proposal were several large-scale live Internet experiments with an initial congestion window of 10 mss (IW10), where we showed that the average latency of HTTP responses improved by approximately 10%. This was accompanied by a slight increase in retransmission rate (0.5%), most of which is coming from applications opening multiple simultaneous connections. To understand the extreme worst case scenarios, and fairness issues (IW10 versus IW3), we further conducted controlled testbed experiments. We came away finding minimal negative impact even under low link bandwidths (dial-ups) and small buffers. These results are extremely encouraging to adopting IW10. However, an initial congestion window of 10 mss is useless unless a TCP receiver advertises an initial receive window of at least 10 mss. Fortunately, in the large-scale Internet experiments we found that most widely used operating systems advertised large initial receive windows of 64KB, allowing us to experiment with a wide range of initial congestion windows. Linux systems were among the few exceptions that advertised a small receive window of 6KB. The purpose of this patch is to fix this shortcoming. References: 1.

Make all RTAX_ADVMSS metric accesses go through a new helper function, dst_metric_advmss(). Leave the actual default metric as "zero" in the real metric slot, and compute the actual default value dynamically via a new dst_ops AF specific callback. For stacked IPSEC routes, we use the advmss of the path which preserves existing behavior. Unlike ipv4/ipv6, DecNET ties the advmss to the mtu and thus updates advmss on pmtu updates. This inconsistency in advmss handling results in more raw metric accesses than I wish we ended up with. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Always go through a new ip4_dst_hoplimit() helper, just like ipv6. This allowed several simplifications: 1) The interim dst_metric_hoplimit() can go as it's no longer userd. 2) The sysctl_ip_default_ttl entry no longer needs to use ipv4_doint_and_flush, since the sysctl is not cached in routing cache metrics any longer. 3) ipv4_doint_and_flush no longer needs to be exported and therefore can be marked static. When ipv4_doint_and_flush_strategy was removed some time ago, the external declaration in ip.h was mistakenly left around so kill that off too. We have to move the sysctl_ip_default_ttl declaration into ipv4's route cache definition header net/route.h, because currently net/ip.h (where the declaration lives now) has a back dependency on net/route.h Signed-off-by: David S.

Followup of commit b178bb3dfc30 (net: reorder struct sock fields) Optimize INET input path a bit further, by : 1) moving sk_refcnt close to sk_lock. This reduces number of dirtied cache lines by one on 64bit arches (and 64 bytes cache line size). 2) moving inet_daddr & inet_rcv_saddr at the beginning of sk (same cache line than hash / family / bound_dev_if / nulls_node) This reduces number of accessed cache lines in lookups by one, and dont increase size of inet and timewait socks. inet and tw sockets now share same place-holder for these fields. Before patch : offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x10 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x40 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x60 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x270 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x274 After patch : offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x44 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x48 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x68 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x0 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x4 compute_score() (udp or tcp) now use a single cache line per ignored item, instead of two.

Only when dont_send is 0, arp_filter() is consulted, so we can simply assign the return value of arp_filter() to dont_send instead. Signed-off-by: Changli Gao <xiaosuo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-12-06net: kill an RCU warning in inet_fill_link_af()Eric Dumazet
commits 9f0f7272 (ipv4: AF_INET link address family) and cf7afbfeb8c (rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomic) used incorrect __in_dev_get_rcu() in RTNL protected contexts, triggering PROVE_RCU warnings. Switch to __in_dev_get_rtnl(), wich is more appropriate, since we hold RTNL. Based on a report and initial patch from Amerigo Wang.

2010-12-02timewait_sock: Create and use getpeer op.David S. Miller
The only thing AF-specific about remembering the timestamp for a time-wait TCP socket is getting the peer. Abstract that behind a new timewait_sock_ops vector. Support for real IPV6 sockets is not filled in yet, but curiously this makes timewait recycling start to work for v4-mapped ipv6 sockets. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-11-30inet: Turn ->remember_stamp into ->get_peer in connection AF ops.David S. Miller
Then we can make a completely generic tcp_remember_stamp() that uses ->get_peer() as a helper, minimizing the AF specific code and minimizing the eventual code duplication when we implement the ipv6 side of TW recycling. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
