2010-05-16tcp: fix MD5 (RFC2385) supportEric Dumazet
TCP MD5 support uses percpu data for temporary storage. It currently disables preemption so that same storage cannot be reclaimed by another thread on same cpu. We also have to make sure a softirq handler wont try to use also same context. Various bug reports demonstrated corruptions. Fix is to disable preemption and BH.

2010-04-27TCP: avoid to send keepalive probes if receiving dataFlavio Leitner
RFC 1122 says the following: ... Keep-alive packets MUST only be sent when no data or acknowledgement packets have been received for the connection within an interval. ... The acknowledgement packet is reseting the keepalive timer but the data packet isn't.

2010-01-17tcp: account SYN-ACK timeouts & retransmissionsOctavian Purdila
Currently we don't increment SYN-ACK timeouts & retransmissions although we do increment the same stats for SYN. We seem to have lost the SYN-ACK accounting with the introduction of tcp_syn_recv_timer (commit 2248761e in the netdev-vger-cvs tree). This patch fixes this issue. In the process we also rename the v4/v6 syn/ack retransmit functions for clarity. We also add a new request_socket operations (syn_ack_timeout) so we can keep code in inet_connection_sock.c protocol agnostic.

2009-12-23net: Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive windowlaurent chavey
Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window size advertised by passive and active TCP connections. The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial receive window to the one prescribed by slow start. For short lived TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results in increased latency to complete the transaction. Support for setting initial congestion window is already supported using rtnetlink init_cwnd, but the feature is useless without the ability to set a larger TCP initial receive window. The rtnetlink init_rcvwnd allows increasing the TCP initial receive window, allowing TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window than the ones bounded by slow start.

They try to use the listening socket's 'dst' to probe the route settings. The listening socket doesn't even have a route, and you can't get the right route (the child request one) until much later after we setup all of the state, and it must be done by hand. This stuff really isn't ready, so the best thing to do is a full revert.

2009-12-08tcp: Stalling connections: Fix timeout calculation routineDamian Lukowski
This patch fixes a problem in the TCP connection timeout calculation. Currently, timeout decisions are made on the basis of the current tcp_time_stamp and retrans_stamp, which is usually set at the first retransmission. However, if the retransmission fails in tcp_retransmit_skb(), retrans_stamp is not updated and remains zero. This leads to wrong decisions in retransmits_timed_out() if tcp_time_stamp is larger than the specified timeout, which is very likely. In this case, the TCP connection dies after the first attempted (and unsuccessful) retransmission. With this patch, tcp_skb_cb->when is used instead, when retrans_stamp is not available. This bug has been introduced together with retransmits_timed_out() in 2.6.32, as the number of retransmissions has been used for timeout decisions before. The corresponding commit was 6fa12c85031485dff38ce550c24f10da23b0adaa (Revert Backoff [v3]: Calculate TCP's connection close threshold as a time value.).

2009-12-02TCPCT part 1d: define TCP cookie option, extend existing struct'sWilliam Allen Simpson
Data structures are carefully composed to require minimal additions. For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional space (taking alignment into consideration). There are no additions to tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock. This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old) patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original author (Adam Langley): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586 The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce, instead of a user configured offset in the data. This is more flexible and less subject to user configuration error. Such a cookie option has been suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing several related concepts to use the same extension option.

But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could loop endlessly under memory pressure.

2009-09-01Revert Backoff [v3]: Calculate TCP's connection close threshold as a time value.Damian Lukowski
RFC 1122 specifies two threshold values R1 and R2 for connection timeouts, which may represent a number of allowed retransmissions or a timeout value. Currently linux uses sysctl_tcp_retries{1,2} to specify the thresholds in number of allowed retransmissions. For any desired threshold R2 (by means of time) one can specify tcp_retries2 (by means of number of retransmissions) such that TCP will not time out earlier than R2. This is the case, because the RTO schedule follows a fixed pattern, namely exponential backoff. However, the RTO behaviour is not predictable any more if RTO backoffs can be reverted, as it is the case in the draft "Make TCP more Robust to Long Connectivity Disruptions" (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zimmermann-tcp-lcd). In the worst case TCP would time out a connection after 3.2 seconds, if the initial RTO equaled MIN_RTO and each backoff has been reverted. This patch introduces a function retransmits_timed_out(N), which calculates the timeout of a TCP connection, assuming an initial RTO of MIN_RTO and N unsuccessful, exponentially backed-off retransmissions. Whenever timeout decisions are made by comparing the retransmission counter to some value N, this function can be used, instead. The meaning of tcp_retries2 will be changed, as many more RTO retransmissions can occur than the value indicates. However, it yields a timeout which is similar to the one of an unpatched, exponentially backing off TCP in the same scenario. As no application could rely on an RTO greater than MIN_RTO, there should be no risk of a regression.

2009-09-01Revert Backoff [v3]: Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachableDamian Lukowski
Here, an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, is taken as an indication that the RTO retransmission has not been lost due to congestion, but because of a route failure somewhere along the path. With true congestion, a router won't trigger such a message and the patched TCP will operate as standard TCP. This patch reverts one RTO backoff, if an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, arrives. Based on the new RTO, the retransmission timer is reset to reflect the remaining time, or - if the revert clocked out the timer - a retransmission is sent out immediately. Backoffs are only reverted, if TCP is in RTO loss recovery, i.e. if there have been retransmissions and reversible backoffs, already. Changes from v2: 1) Renaming of skb in tcp_v4_err() moved to another patch. 2) Reintroduced tcp_bound_rto() and __tcp_set_rto(). 3) Fixed code comments.

We need full-scale adjustment to fix a TCP miscount in the next patch, so just move it into a helper and call for that from the other places. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-03-15tcp: simplify tcp_current_mssIlpo Järvinen
There's very little need for most of the callsites to get tp->xmit_goal_size updated. That will cost us divide as is, so slice the function in two. Also, the only users of the tp->xmit_goal_size are directly behind tcp_current_mss(), so there's no need to store that variable into tcp_sock at all! The drop of xmit_goal_size currently leaves 16-bit hole and some reorganization would again be necessary to change that (but I'm aiming to fill that hole with u16 xmit_goal_size_segs to cache the results of the remaining divide to get that tso on regression). Bring xmit_goal_size parts into tcp.c Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Cc: Evgeniy Polyakov <zbr@ioremap.net> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-15tcp: consolidate paws checkIlpo Järvinen
Wow, it was quite tricky to merge that stream of negations but I think I finally got it right: check & replace_ts_recent: (s32)(rcv_tsval - ts_recent) >= 0 => 0 (s32)(ts_recent - rcv_tsval) <= 0 => 0 discard: (s32)(ts_recent - rcv_tsval) > TCP_PAWS_WINDOW => 1 (s32)(ts_recent - rcv_tsval) <= TCP_PAWS_WINDOW => 0 I toggled the return values of tcp_paws_check around since the old encoding added yet-another negation making tracking of truth-values really complicated.

2009-03-02tcp: tcp_init_wl / tcp_update_wl argument cleanupHantzis Fotis
The above functions from include/net/tcp.h have been defined with an argument that they never use. The argument is 'u32 ack' which is never used inside the function body, and thus it can be removed. The rest of the patch involves the necessary changes to the function callers of the above two functions. Signed-off-by: Hantzis Fotis <xantzis@ceid.upatras.gr> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-12-15tcp: Add GRO supportHerbert Xu
This patch adds the TCP-specific portion of GRO. The criterion for merging is extremely strict (the TCP header must match exactly apart from the checksum) so as to allow refragmentation. Otherwise this is pretty much identical to LRO, except that we support the merging of ECN packets. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
