2012-04-30tipc: compress out gratuitous extra carriage returnsPaul Gortmaker32-530/+16
Some of the comment blocks are floating in limbo between two functions, or between blocks of code. Delete the extra line feeds between any comment and its associated following block of code, to be consistent with the majority of the rest of the kernel. Also delete trailing newlines at EOF and fix a couple trivial typos in existing comments. This is a 100% cosmetic change with no runtime impact. We get rid of over 500 lines of non-code, and being blank line deletes, they won't even show up as noise in git blame. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2012-04-27tipc: Reject payload messages with invalid message typeAllan Stephens1-5/+2
Adds check to ensure TIPC sockets reject incoming payload messages that have an unrecognized message type. Remove the old open question about whether TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT is the proper return value. It is appropriate here since there are valid instances where another node can make use of the reply, and at this point in time the host is already broadcasting TIPC data, so there are no real security concerns.

2012-04-26tipc: Enhance error checking of published namesAllan Stephens2-7/+4
Consolidates validation of scope and name sequence range values into a single routine where it applies both to local name publications and to name publications issued by other nodes in the network. This change means that the scope value for non-local publications is now validated and the name sequence range for local publications is now validated only once. Additionally, a publication attempt that fails validation now creates an entry in the system log file only if debugging capabilities have been enabled; this prevents the system log from being cluttered up with messages caused by a defective application or network node.

2012-04-26tipc: Optimize initialization of network topology serviceAllan Stephens1-1/+1

2012-04-26tipc: Enhance re-initialization of network topology serviceAllan Stephens1-3/+0
Streamlines the job of re-initializing TIPC's network topology service when a node's network address is first assigned. Rather than destroying the topology server port and breaking its connections to existing subscribers, TIPC now simply lets the service continue running (since the change to the port identifier of each port used by the topology service no longer impacts the flow of messages between the service and its subscribers). This enhancement means that applications that utilize the topology service prior to the assignment of TIPC's network address no longer need to re-establish their subscriptions when the address is finally assigned. However, it is worth noting that any subsequent events for existing subscriptions report the new port identifier of the publishing port, rather than the original port identifier. (For example, a name that was previously reported as being published by <0.0.0:ref> may be subsequently withdrawn by <Z.C.N:ref>.) This doesn't impact any of the existing known userspace in tipc-utils, since (a) TIPC continues to treat references to the original port ID correctly and (b) normal use cases assign an address before active use. However if there does happen to be some rare/custom application out there that was relying on this, they can simply bypass the enhancement by issuing a subscription to {0,0} and break its connection to the topology service, if an associated withdrawal event occurs.

This simplifies user space code significantly by creating a single interface to listen on that works with both firmware and userland agents. And if we end up with multiple agents this keeps every thing in sync userland agents, firmware agents, and kernel notifier consumers.

commit c8628155ece3 (tcp: reduce out_of_order memory use) took care of coalescing tcp segments provided by legacy devices (linear skbs) We extend this idea to fragged skbs, as their truesize can be heavy. ixgbe for example uses 256+1024+PAGE_SIZE/2 = 3328 bytes per segment. Use this coalescing strategy for receive queue too. This contributes to reduce number of tcp collapses, at minimal cost, and reduces memory overhead and packets drops.

2012-04-23tcp: sk_add_backlog() is too agressive for TCPEric Dumazet2-2/+4
While investigating TCP performance problems on 10Gb+ links, we found a tcp sender was dropping lot of incoming ACKS because of sk_rcvbuf limit in sk_add_backlog(), especially if receiver doesnt use GRO/LRO and sends one ACK every two MSS segments. A sender usually tweaks sk_sndbuf, but sk_rcvbuf stays at its default value (87380), allowing a too small backlog. A TCP ACK, even being small, can consume nearly same truesize space than outgoing packets. Using sk_rcvbuf + sk_sndbuf as a limit makes sense and is fast to compute. Performance results on netperf, single flow, receiver with disabled GRO/LRO : 7500 Mbits instead of 6050 Mbits, no more TCPBacklogDrop increments at sender.

2012-04-21tcp: move duplicate code from tcp_v4_init_sock()/tcp_v6_init_sock()Neal Cardwell3-99/+67
This commit moves the (substantial) common code shared between tcp_v4_init_sock() and tcp_v6_init_sock() to a new address-family independent function, tcp_init_sock(). Centralizing this functionality should help avoid drift issues, e.g. where the IPv4 side is updated without a corresponding update to IPv6. There was already some drift: IPv4 initialized snd_cwnd to TCP_INIT_CWND, while the IPv6 side was still initializing snd_cwnd to 2 (in this case it should not matter, since snd_cwnd is also initialized in tcp_init_metrics(), but the general risks and maintenance overhead remain). When diffing the old and new code, note that new tcp_init_sock() function uses the order of steps from the tcp_v4_init_sock() implementation (the order is slightly different in tcp_v6_init_sock()).

2012-04-21tcp: Repair connection-time negotiated parametersPavel Emelyanov1-0/+71
There are options, which are set up on a socket while performing TCP handshake. Need to resurrect them on a socket while repairing. A new sockoption accepts a buffer and parses it. The buffer should be CODE:VALUE sequence of bytes, where CODE is standard option code and VALUE is the respective value. Only 4 options should be handled on repaired socket. To read 3 out of 4 of these options the TCP_INFO sockoption can be used. An ability to get the last one (the mss_clamp) was added by the previous patch. Now the restore. Three of these options -- timestamp_ok, mss_clamp and snd_wscale -- are just restored on a coket. The sack_ok flags has 2 issues. First, whether or not to do sacks at all. This flag is just read and set back. No other sack info is saved or restored, since according to the standart and the code dropping all sack-ed segments is OK, the sender will resubmit them again, so after the repair we will probably experience a pause in connection. Next, the fack bit. It's just set back on a socket if the respective sysctl is set. No collected stats about packets flow is preserved. As far as I see (plz, correct me if I'm wrong) the fack-based congestion algorithm survives dropping all of the stats and repairs itself eventually, probably losing the performance for that period.

2012-04-21tcp: Repair socket queuesPavel Emelyanov2-3/+87
Reading queues under repair mode is done with recvmsg call. The queue-under-repair set by TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE option is used to determine which queue should be read. Thus both send and receive queue can be read with this. Caller must pass the MSG_PEEK flag. Writing to queues is done with sendmsg call and yet again -- the repair-queue option can be used to push data into the receive queue. When putting an skb into receive queue a zero tcp header is appented to its head to address the tcp_hdr(skb)->syn and the ->fin checks by the (after repair) tcp_recvmsg. These flags flags are both set to zero and that's why. The fin cannot be met in the queue while reading the source socket, since the repair only works for closed/established sockets and queueing fin packet always changes its state. The syn in the queue denotes that the respective skb's seq is "off-by-one" as compared to the actual payload lenght. Thus, at the rcv queue refill we can just drop this flag and set the skb's sequences to precice values. When the repair mode is turned off, the write queue seqs are updated so that the whole queue is considered to be 'already sent, waiting for ACKs' (write_seq = snd_nxt <= snd_una). From the protocol POV the send queue looks like it was sent, but the data between the write_seq and snd_nxt is lost in the network. This helps to avoid another sockoption for setting the snd_nxt sequence. Leaving the whole queue in a 'not yet sent' state (as it will be after sendmsg-s) will not allow to receive any acks from the peer since the ack_seq will be after the snd_nxt. Thus even the ack for the window probe will be dropped and the connection will be 'locked' with the zero peer window. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

When repair mode is turned off and the socket happens to be in the established state the window probe is sent to the peer to 'unlock' the connection. * TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE sockoption This one sets the queue which we're about to repair. The 'no-queue' is set by default. * TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socoption Sets the write_seq/rcv_nxt of a selected repaired queue. Allowed for TCP_CLOSE-d sockets only. When the socket changes its state the other seq-s are changed by the kernel according to the protocol rules (most of the existing code is actually reused). * Ability to forcibly bind a socket to a port The sk->sk_reuse is set to SK_FORCE_REUSE. * Immediate connect modification The connect syscall initializes the connection, then directly jumps to the code which finalizes it. * Silent close modification The close just aborts the connection (similar to SO_LINGER with 0 time) but without sending any FIN/RST-s to peer.

2012-04-20net ax25: Simplify and cleanup the ax25 sysctl handling.Eric W. Biederman3-64/+30
Don't register/unregister every ax25 table in a batch. Instead register and unregister per device ax25 sysctls as ax25 devices come and go. This moves ax25 to be a completely modern sysctl user. Registering the sysctls in just the initial network namespace, removing the use of .child entries that are no longer natively supported by the sysctl core and taking advantage of the fact that there are no longer any ordering constraints between registering and unregistering different sysctl tables.

2012-04-20net ipv4: Remove the unneeded registration of an empty net/ipv4/neighEric W. Biederman1-18/+1
sysctl no longer requires explicit creation of directories. The neigh directory is always populated with at least a default entry so this won't cause any user visible changes. Delete the ipv4_path and the ipv4_skeleton these are no longer needed. Directly register the ipv4_route_table. And since I am an idiot remove the header definitions that I should have removed in the previous patch. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
