2012-03-03dccp: fix bug in sequence number validation during connection setupSamuel Jero
This fixes a bug in the sequence number validation during the initial handshake. The code did not treat the initial sequence numbers ISS and ISR as read-only and did not keep state for GSR and GSS as required by the specification. This causes problems with retransmissions during the initial handshake, causing the budding connection to be reset. This patch now treats ISS/ISR as read-only and tracks GSS/GSR as required.

This replaces an unjustified BUG_ON(), which could get triggered under normal conditions: X_calc can be 0 when p > 0. X would in this case be set to the minimum, s/t_mbi. Its replacement avoids t_ipi = 0 (unbounded sending rate). Thanks to Jordi, Victor and Xavier who reported this.

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version. (Thanks to Joe Perches for suggesting coccinelle for 0/1 -> true/false). Cc: "David S.

2011-08-06net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.David S. Miller
Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons. MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.) Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number. For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

2011-08-01dccp ccid-2: check Ack Ratio when reducing cwndSamuel Jero
This patch causes CCID-2 to check the Ack Ratio after reducing the congestion window. If the Ack Ratio is greater than the congestion window, it is reduced. This prevents timeouts caused by an Ack Ratio larger than the congestion window. In this situation, we choose to set the Ack Ratio to half the congestion window (or one if that's zero) so that if we loose one ack we don't trigger a timeout.

2011-08-01dccp ccid-2: increment cwnd correctlySamuel Jero
This patch fixes an issue where CCID-2 will not increase the congestion window for numerous RTTs after an idle period, application-limited period, or a loss once the algorithm is in Congestion Avoidance. What happens is that, when CCID-2 is in Congestion Avoidance mode, it will increase hc->tx_packets_acked by one for every packet and will increment cwnd every cwnd packets. However, if there is now an idle period in the connection, cwnd will be reduced, possibly below the slow start threshold. This will cause the connection to go into Slow Start. However, in Slow Start CCID-2 performs this test to increment cwnd every second ack: ++hc->tx_packets_acked == 2 Unfortunately, this will be incorrect, if cwnd previous to the idle period was larger than 2 and if tx_packets_acked was close to cwnd. For example: cwnd=50 and tx_packets_acked=45. In this case, the current code, will increment tx_packets_acked until it equals two, which will only be once tx_packets_acked (an unsigned 32-bit integer) overflows. My fix is simply to change that test for tx_packets_acked greater than or equal to two in slow start. Signed-off-by: Samuel Jero <sj323707@ohio.edu> Acked-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2011-08-01dccp ccid-2: prevent cwnd > Sequence WindowSamuel Jero
Add a check to prevent CCID-2 from increasing the cwnd greater than the Sequence Window. When the congestion window becomes bigger than the Sequence Window, CCID-2 will attempt to keep more data in the network than the DCCP Sequence Window code considers possible. This results in the Sequence Window code issuing a Sync, thereby inducing needless overhead. Further, if this occurs at the sender, CCID-2 will never detect the problem because the Acks it receives will indicate no losses. I have seen this cause a drop of 1/3rd in throughput for a connection. Also add code to adjust the Sequence Window to be about 5 times the number of packets in the network (RFC 4340, 7.5.2) and to adjust the Ack Ratio so that the remote Sequence Window will hold about 5 times the number of packets in the network. This allows the congestion window to increase correctly without being limited by the Sequence Window. Signed-off-by: Samuel Jero <sj323707@ohio.edu> Acked-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2011-08-01dccp ccid-2: use feature-negotiation to report Ack Ratio changesGerrit Renker
This uses the new feature-negotiation framework to signal Ack Ratio changes, as required by RFC 4341, sec. 6.1.2. That raises some problems with CCID-2, which at the moment can not cope gracefully with Ack Ratios > 1. Since these issues are not directly related to feature negotiation, they are marked by a FIXME.

2011-08-01dccp: support for the exchange of NN options in established state 1/2Gerrit Renker
In contrast to static feature negotiation at the begin of a connection, this patch introduces support for exchange of dynamically changing options. Such an update/exchange is necessary in at least two cases: * CCID-2's Ack Ratio (RFC 4341, 6.1.2) which changes during the connection; * Sequence Window values that, as per RFC 4340, 7.5.2, should be sent "as the connection progresses". Both are non-negotiable (NN) features, which means that no new capabilities are negotiated, but rather that changes in known parameters are brought up-to-date at either end. Thse characteristics are reflected by the implementation: * only NN options can be exchanged after connection setup; * an ack is scheduled directly after activation to speed up the update; * CCIDs may request changes to an NN feature even if a negotiation for that feature is already underway: this is required by CCID-2, where changes in cwnd necessitate Ack Ratio changes, such that the previous Ack Ratio (which is still being negotiated) would cause irrecoverable RTO timeouts (thanks to work by Samuel Jero).

2011-07-04dccp ccid-2: Perform congestion-window validationGerrit Renker
CCID-2's cwnd increases like TCP during slow-start, which has implications for * the local Sequence Window value (should be > cwnd), * the Ack Ratio value. Hence an exponential growth, if it does not reflect the actual network conditions, can quickly lead to instability. This patch adds congestion-window validation (RFC2861) to CCID-2: * cwnd is constrained if the sender is application limited; * cwnd is reduced after a long idle period, as suggested in the '90 paper by Van Jacobson, in RFC 2581 (sec. 4.1); * cwnd is never reduced below the RFC 3390 initial window. As marked in the comments, the code is actually almost a direct copy of the TCP congestion-window-validation algorithms. By continuing this work, it may in future be possible to use the TCP code (not possible at the moment). The mechanism can be turned off using a module parameter. Sampling of the currently-used window (moving-maximum) is however done constantly; this is used to determine the expected window, which can be exploited to regulate DCCP's Sequence Window value. This patch also sets slow-start-after-idle (RFC 4341, 5.1), i.e. it behaves like TCP when net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle = 1. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

2011-07-04dccp: Clean up slow-path input processingGerrit Renker
This patch rearranges the order of statements of the slow-path input processing (i.e. any other state than OPEN), to resolve the following issues. 1. Dependencies: the order of statements now better matches RFC 4340, 8.5, i.e. step 7 is before step 9 (previously 9 was before 7), and parsing options in step 8 (which may consume resources) now comes after step 7. 2. Sequence number checks are omitted if in state LISTEN/REQUEST, due to the note underneath the table in RFC 4340, 7.5.3. As a result, CCID processing is now indeed confined to OPEN/PARTOPEN states, i.e. congestion control is performed only on the flow of data packets. This avoids pathological cases of doing congestion control on those messages which set up and terminate the connection. 3. Packets are now passed on to Ack Vector / CCID processing only after - step 7 (receive unexpected packets), - step 9 (receive Reset), - step 13 (receive CloseReq), - step 14 (receive Close) and only if the state is PARTOPEN. This simplifies CCID processing: - in LISTEN/CLOSED the CCIDs are non-existent; - in RESPOND/REQUEST the CCIDs have not yet been negotiated; - in CLOSEREQ and active-CLOSING the node has already closed this socket; - in passive-CLOSING the client is waiting for its Reset. In the last case, RFC 4340, 8.3 leaves it open to ignore further incoming data, which is the approach taken here. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

2011-04-28inet: add RCU protection to inet->optEric Dumazet
We lack proper synchronization to manipulate inet->opt ip_options Problem is ip_make_skb() calls ip_setup_cork() and ip_setup_cork() possibly makes a copy of ipc->opt (struct ip_options), without any protection against another thread manipulating inet->opt. Another thread can change inet->opt pointer and free old one under us. Use RCU to protect inet->opt (changed to inet->inet_opt). Instead of handling atomic refcounts, just copy ip_options when necessary, to avoid cache line dirtying. We cant insert an rcu_head in struct ip_options since its included in skb->cb[], so this patch is large because I had to introduce a new ip_options_rcu structure.

2011-04-27ipv4: Sanitize and simplify ip_route_{connect,newports}()David S. Miller
These functions are used together as a unit for route resolution during connect(). They address the chicken-and-egg problem that exists when ports need to be allocated during connect() processing, yet such port allocations require addressing information from the routing code. It's currently more heavy handed than it needs to be, and in particular we allocate and initialize a flow object twice. Let the callers provide the on-stack flow object. That way we only need to initialize it once in the ip_route_connect() call. Later, if ip_route_newports() needs to do anything, it re-uses that flow object as-is except for the ports which it updates before the route re-lookup. Also, describe why this set of facilities are needed and how it works in a big comment. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>
