This reverts the changeset [IPV6]: UDPv6 checksum. We always need to check UDPv6 checksum because it is mandatory. The sk_filter optimisation has nothing to do whether we verify the checksum. It simply postpones it to the point when the user calls recv or poll. Signed-off-by:Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by:

1) Some sysctl vars are declared __read_mostly 2) We can avoid updating stack[] when doing an AVL lookup only. lookup() macro is extended to receive a second parameter, that may be NULL in case of a pure lookup (no need to save the AVL path). This removes unnecessary instructions, because compiler knows if this _stack parameter is NULL or not. text size of net/ipv4/inetpeer.o is 2063 bytes instead of 2107 on x86_64 Signed-off-by:Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by:

The Newton-Raphson method is quadratically convergent so only a small fixed number of steps are necessary. Therefore it is faster to unroll the loop. Since div64_64 is no longer inline it won't cause code explosion. Also fixes a bug that can occur if x^2 was bigger than 32 bits. Signed-off-by:

Neil Horman authored
Nominally an autoconfigured IPv6 address is added to an interface in the Tentative state (as per RFC 2462). Addresses in this state remain in this state while the Duplicate Address Detection process operates on them to determine their uniqueness on the network. During this period, these tentative addresses may not be used for communication, increasing the time before a node may be able to communicate on a network. Using Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection, autoconfigured addresses may be used immediately for communication on the network, as long as certain rules are followed to avoid conflicts with other nodes during the Duplicate Address Detection process.

ip6_tunnel before supporting IPv4/IPv6 tunnel allows only IPPROTO_IPV6 in configurations from userland. This allows userland to set IPPROTO_IPIP and 0(wildcard). ip6_tunnel only handles allowed inner protocols. Signed-off-by:

Some notes - Protocol number IPPROTO_IPIP is used for IPv4 over IPv6 packets. - If IP6_TNL_F_USE_ORIG_TCLASS is set, TOS in IPv4 header is copied to Traffic Class in outer IPv6 header on xmit. - IP6_TNL_F_USE_ORIG_FLOWLABEL is ignored on xmit of IPv4 packets, because IPv4 header does not have flow label. - Kernel sends ICMP error if IPv4 packet is too big on xmit, even if DF flag is not set.

If the user passes MSG_TRUNC in via msg_flags, return the full packet size not the truncated size. Idea from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf. Signed-off-by: -

We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain 'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct sock. This has some drawbacks : - Fixed resolution of micro second. - Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16 I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution. As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...) Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS) Note : this patch includes a bug correction in compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0) Signed-off-by:

sk_backlog is a critical field of struct sock. (known famous words) It is (ab)used in hot paths, in particular in release_sock(), tcp_recvmsg(), tcp_v4_rcv(), sk_receive_skb(). It really makes sense to place it next to sk_lock, because sk_backlog is only used after sk_lock locked (and thus memory cache line in L1 cache). This should reduce cache misses and sk_lock acquisition time. (In theory, we could only move the head pointer near sk_lock, and leaving tail far away, because 'tail' is normally not so hot, but keep it simple :) ) Signed-off-by:

Undoing ssthresh is disabled in fastretrans_alert whenever FLAG_ECE is set by clearing prior_ssthresh. The clearing does not protect FRTO because FRTO operates before fastretrans_alert. Moving the clearing of prior_ssthresh earlier seems to be a suboptimal solution to the FRTO case because then FLAG_ECE will cause a second ssthresh reduction in try_to_open (the first occurred when FRTO was entered). So instead, FRTO falls back immediately to the rate halving response, which switches TCP to CA_CWR state preventing the latter reduction of ssthresh. If the first ECE arrived before the ACK after which FRTO is able to decide RTO as spurious, prior_ssthresh is already cleared. Thus no undoing for ssthresh occurs. Besides, FLAG_ECE should be set also in the following ACKs resulting in rate halving response that sees TCP is already in CA_CWR, which again prevents an extra ssthresh reduction on that round-trip. If the first ECE arrived before RTO, ssthresh has already been adapted and prior_ssthresh remains cleared on entry because TCP is in CA_CWR (the same applies also to a case where FRTO is entered more than once and ECE comes in the middle). High_seq must not be touched after tcp_enter_cwr because CWR round-trip calculation depends on it. I believe that after this patch, FRTO should be ECN-safe and even able to take advantage of synergy benefits. Signed-off-by:

Ilpo Järvinen authored
New sysctl tcp_frto_response is added to select amongst these responses: - Rate halving based; reuses CA_CWR state (default) - Very conservative; used to be the only one available (=1) - Undo cwr; undoes ssthresh and cwnd reductions (=2) The response with rate halving requires a new parameter to tcp_enter_cwr because FRTO has already reduced ssthresh and doing a second reduction there has to be prevented. In addition, to keep things nice on 80 cols screen, a local variable was added. Signed-off-by:

(tcp_rcv_established(), tcp_poll(), ...) As you suggested, I changed tcp_create_openreq_child() so that these fields are changed together, to avoid adding a new store buffer stall.

YeAH-TCP is a sender-side high-speed enabled TCP congestion control algorithm, which uses a mixed loss/delay approach to compute the congestion window. It's design goals target high efficiency, internal, RTT and Reno fairness, resilience to link loss while keeping network elements load as low as possible.

The description is overly verbose to avoid ambiguity between "SACK enabled" and "SACK enhanced FRTO" Signed-off-by:
-
Ilpo Järvinen authored
Implements the SACK-enhanced FRTO given in RFC4138 using the variant given in Appendix B. RFC4138, Appendix B: "This means that in order to declare timeout spurious, the TCP sender must receive an acknowledgment for non-retransmitted segment between SND.UNA and RecoveryPoint in algorithm step 3. RecoveryPoint is defined in conservative SACK-recovery algorithm [RFC3517]" The basic version of the FRTO algorithm can still be used also when SACK is enabled. To enabled SACK-enhanced version, tcp_frto sysctl is set to 2. Signed-off-by:

To be honest, I'm not too sure how the reord stuff works in the first place but this seems necessary. When FRTO has been active, the one and only retransmission could be unnecessary but the state and sending order might not be what the sacktag code expects it to be (to work correctly). Signed-off-by:

TCP without FRTO would be in Loss state with small cwnd. FRTO, however, leaves cwnd (typically) to a larger value which causes ssthresh to become too large in case RTO is triggered again compared to what conventional recovery would do. Because consecutive RTOs result in only a single ssthresh reduction, RTO+cumulative ACK+RTO pattern is required to trigger this event. A large comment is included for congestion control module writers trying to figure out what CA_EVENT_FRTO handler should do because there exists a remote possibility of incompatibility between FRTO and module defined ssthresh functions.

Previously RETRANS bits were cleared on the entry to FRTO. We postpone that into tcp_enter_frto_loss, which is really the place were the clearing should be done anyway. This allows simplification of the logic from a clearing loop to the head skb clearing only. Besides, the other changes made in the previous patches to tcp_use_frto made it impossible for the non-SACKed FRTO to be entered if other than the head has been rexmitted. With SACK-enhanced FRTO (and Appendix B), however, there can be a number retransmissions in flight when RTO expires (same thing could happen before this patchset also with non-SACK FRTO). To not introduce any jumpiness into the packet counting during FRTO, instead of clearing RETRANS bits from skbs during entry, do it later on. Signed-off-by:

This interpretation comes from RFC4138: "If the sender implements some loss recovery algorithm other than Reno or NewReno [FHG04], the F-RTO algorithm SHOULD NOT be entered when earlier fast recovery is underway." I think the RFC means to say (especially in the light of Appendix B) that ...recovery is underway (not just fast recovery) or was underway when it was interrupted by an earlier (F-)RTO that hasn't yet been resolved (snd_una has not advanced enough). Thus, my interpretation is that whenever TCP has ever retransmitted other than head, basic version cannot be used because then the order assumptions which are used as FRTO basis do not hold. NewReno has only the head segment retransmitted at a time. Therefore, walk up to the segment that has not been SACKed, if that segment is not retransmitted nor anything before it, we know for sure, that nothing after the non-SACKed segment should be either. This assumption is valid because TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS does not leave holes but each non-SACKed segment is rexmitted in-order. Check for retrans_out > 1 avoids more expensive walk through the skb list, as we can know the result beforehand: F-RTO will not be allowed. SACKed skb can turn into non-SACked only in the extremely rare case of SACK reneging, in this case we might fail to detect retransmissions if there were them for any other than head. To get rid of that feature, whole rexmit queue would have to be walked (always) or FRTO should be prevented when SACK reneging happens. Of course RTO should still trigger after reneging which makes this issue even less likely to show up. And as long as the response is as conservative as it's now, nothing bad happens even then.
