Change SYN-ACK retransmitting code for the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT users to not retransmit SYN-ACKs during the deferring period if ACK from client was received. The goal is to reduce traffic during the deferring period. When the period is finished we continue with sending SYN-ACKs (at least one) but this time any traffic from client will change the request to established socket allowing application to terminate it properly. Also, do not drop acked request if sending of SYN-ACK fails. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-19tcp: accept socket after TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT periodJulian Anastasov
Willy Tarreau and many other folks in recent years were concerned what happens when the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period expires for clients which sent ACK packet. They prefer clients that actively resend ACK on our SYN-ACK retransmissions to be converted from open requests to sockets and queued to the listener for accepting after the deferring period is finished. Then application server can decide to wait longer for data or to properly terminate the connection with FIN if read() returns EAGAIN which is an indication for accepting after the deferring period. This change still can have side effects for applications that expect always to see data on the accepted socket. Others can be prepared to work in both modes (with or without TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period) and their data processing can ignore the read=EAGAIN notification and to allocate resources for clients which proved to have no data to send during the deferring period. OTOH, servers that use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT=1 as flag (not as a timeout) to wait for data will notice clients that didn't send data for 3 seconds but that still resend ACKs. Thanks to Willy Tarreau for the initial idea and to Eric Dumazet for the review and testing the change.

In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch.

2009-10-13tcp: fix tcp_defer_accept to consider the timeoutWilly Tarreau
I was trying to use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and noticed that if the client does not talk, the connection is never accepted and remains in SYN_RECV state until the retransmits expire, where it finally is deleted. This is bad when some firewall such as netfilter sits between the client and the server because the firewall sees the connection in ESTABLISHED state while the server will finally silently drop it without sending an RST. This behaviour contradicts the man page which says it should wait only for some time : TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT (since Linux 2.4) Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives on the socket. Takes an integer value (seconds), this can bound the maximum number of attempts TCP will make to complete the connection. This option should not be used in code intended to be portable. Also, looking at ipv4/tcp.c, a retransmit counter is correctly computed : case TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT: icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept = 0; if (val > 0) { /* Translate value in seconds to number of * retransmits */ while (icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept < 32 && val > ((TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT / HZ) << icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept)) icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++; icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++; } break; ==> rskq_defer_accept is used as a counter of retransmits. But in tcp_minisocks.c, this counter is only checked. And in fact, I have found no location which updates it. So I think that what was intended was to decrease it in tcp_minisocks whenever it is checked, which the trivial patch below does. Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-12net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsgNeil Horman
Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested successfully by me. Notes: 1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops. Deltas must be computed in user space. 2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero, and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism. 3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit 977750076d98c7ff6cbda51858bb5a5894a9d9ab (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-07udp: dynamically size hash tables at boot timeEric Dumazet
UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for several setups. 4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long chains hurt latency. Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and rhash_entries. dmesg logs two new lines : [ 0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) [ 0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non debugging spinlocks.

2009-10-07add vif using local interface index instead of IPIlia K
When routing daemon wants to enable forwarding of multicast traffic it performs something like: struct vifctl vc = { .vifc_vifi = 1, .vifc_flags = 0, .vifc_threshold = 1, .vifc_rate_limit = 0, .vifc_lcl_addr = ip, /* <--- ip address of physical interface, e.g. eth0 */ .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY), }; setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc)); This leads (in the kernel) to calling vif_add() function call which search the (physical) device using assigned IP address: dev = ip_dev_find(net, vifc->vifc_lcl_addr.s_addr); The current API (struct vifctl) does not allow to specify an interface other way than using it's IP, and if there are more than a single interface with specified IP only the first one will be found. The attached patch (against 2.6.30.4) allows to specify an interface by its index, instead of IP address: struct vifctl vc = { .vifc_vifi = 1, .vifc_flags = VIFF_USE_IFINDEX, /* NEW */ .vifc_threshold = 1, .vifc_rate_limit = 0, .vifc_lcl_ifindex = if_nametoindex("eth0"), /* NEW */ .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY), }; setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc)); Signed-off-by: Ilia K. <mail4ilia@gmail.com> === modified file 'include/linux/mroute.h' Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-02net: splice() from tcp to pipe should take into account O_NONBLOCKEric Dumazet
tcp_splice_read() doesnt take into account socket's O_NONBLOCK flag Before this patch : splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE); causes a random endless block (if pipe is full) and splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK); will return 0 immediately if the TCP buffer is empty. User application has no way to instruct splice() that socket should be in blocking mode but pipe in nonblock more. Many projects cannot use splice(tcp -> pipe) because of this flaw. http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=history;f=source3/lib/recvfile.c;h=ea0159642137390a0f7e57a123684e6e63e47581;hb=HEAD http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0807.2/0687.html Linus introduced SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK in commit 29e350944fdc2dfca102500790d8ad6d6ff4f69d (splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag ) It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations nonblocking. Linus intention was clear : let SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK control the splice pipe mode only This patch instruct tcp_splice_read() to use the underlying file O_NONBLOCK flag, as other socket operations do. Users will then call : splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK ); to block on data coming from socket (if file is in blocking mode), and not block on pipe output (to avoid deadlock) First version of this patch was submitted by Octavian Purdila Reported-by: Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org> Reported-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@obsidianresearch.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-01IPv4 TCP fails to send window scale option when window scale is zeroOri Finkelman
Acknowledge TCP window scale support by inserting the proper option in SYN/ACK and SYN headers even if our window scale is zero. This fixes the following observed behavior: 1. Client sends a SYN with TCP window scaling option and non zero window scale value to a Linux box. 2. Linux box notes large receive window from client. 3. Linux decides on a zero value of window scale for its part. 4. Due to compare against requested window scale size option, Linux does not to send windows scale TCP option header on SYN/ACK at all. With the following result: Client box thinks TCP window scaling is not supported, since SYN/ACK had no TCP window scale option, while Linux thinks that TCP window scaling is supported (and scale might be non zero), since SYN had TCP window scale option and we have a mismatched idea between the client and server regarding window sizes. Probably it also fixes up the following bug (not observed in practice): 1. Linux box opens TCP connection to some server. 2. Linux decides on zero value of window scale. 3. Due to compare against computed window scale size option, Linux does not to set windows scale TCP option header on SYN. With the expected result that the server OS does not use window scale option due to not receiving such an option in the SYN headers, leading to suboptimal performance.

Due to man page of setsockopt, if optlen is not valid, kernel should return -EINVAL. But a simple testcase as following, errno is 0, which means setsockopt is successful. addr.s_addr = inet_addr("192.1.2.3"); setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_IF, &addr, 1); printf("errno is %d\n", errno); Xiaotian Feng(dfeng@redhat.com) caught the bug. We fix it firstly checking the availability of optlen and then dealing with the logic like other options.

2009-09-24sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handlerAlexey Dobriyan
It's unused. It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl shouldn't care about the rest. It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

2009-09-22mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pagesJan Beulich
Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).
