2007-04-25[TCP] YeAH-TCP: algorithm implementationAngelo P. Castellani
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.

2007-04-25[TCP]: SACK enhanced FRTOIlpo Järvinen
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: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[TCP]: Prevent reordering adjustments during FRTOIlpo Järvinen
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).

2007-04-25[TCP] FRTO: Fake cwnd for ssthresh callbackIlpo Järvinen
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.

2007-04-25[TCP] FRTO: Reverse RETRANS bit clearing logicIlpo Järvinen
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.

2007-04-25[TCP] FRTO: Entry is allowed only during (New)Reno like recoveryIlpo Järvinen
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.

2007-04-25[TCP]: Prevent unrelated cwnd adjustment while using FRTOIlpo Järvinen

2007-04-25[TCP]: Don't enter to fast recovery while using FRTOIlpo Järvinen
Because TCP is not in Loss state during FRTO recovery, fast recovery could be triggered by accident. Non-SACK FRTO is more robust than not yet included SACK-enhanced version (that can receiver high number of duplicate ACKs with SACK blocks during FRTO), at least with unidirectional transfers, but under extraordinary patterns fast recovery can be incorrectly triggered, e.g., Data loss+ACK losses => cumulative ACK with enough SACK blocks to meet sacked_out >= dupthresh condition).

2007-04-25[TCP] FRTO: fixes fallback to conventional recoveryIlpo Järvinen
The FRTO detection did not care how ACK pattern affects to cwnd calculation of the conventional recovery. This caused incorrect setting of cwnd when the fallback becames necessary. The knowledge tcp_process_frto() has about the incoming ACK is now passed on to tcp_enter_frto_loss() in allowed_segments parameter that gives the number of segments that must be added to packets-in-flight while calculating the new cwnd. Instead of snd_una we use FLAG_DATA_ACKED in duplicate ACK detection because RFC4138 states (in Section 2.2): If the first acknowledgment after the RTO retransmission does not acknowledge all of the data that was retransmitted in step 1, the TCP sender reverts to the conventional RTO recovery. Otherwise, a malicious receiver acknowledging partial segments could cause the sender to declare the timeout spurious in a case where data was lost. If the next ACK after RTO is duplicate, we do not retransmit anything, which is equal to what conservative conventional recovery does in such case.

2007-04-25[TCP] FRTO: Use Disorder state during operation instead of OpenIlpo Järvinen
Retransmission counter assumptions are to be changed. Forcing reason to do this exist: Using sysctl in check would be racy as soon as FRTO starts to ignore some ACKs (doing that in the following patches). Userspace may disable it at any moment giving nice oops if timing is right. frto_counter would be inaccessible from userspace, but with SACK enhanced FRTO retrans_out can include other than head, and possibly leaving it non-zero after spurious RTO, boom again. Luckily, solution seems rather simple: never go directly to Open state but use Disorder instead. This does not really change much, since TCP could anyway change its state to Disorder during FRTO using path tcp_fastretrans_alert -> tcp_try_to_open (e.g., when a SACK block makes ACK dubious). Besides, Disorder seems to be the state where TCP should be if not recovering (in Recovery or Loss state) while having some retransmissions in-flight (see tcp_try_to_open), which is exactly what happens with FRTO.

2007-04-25[TCP] FRTO: Consecutive RTOs keep prior_ssthresh and ssthreshIlpo Järvinen
In case a latency spike causes more than one RTO, the later should not cause the already reduced ssthresh to propagate into the prior_ssthresh since FRTO declares all such RTOs spurious at once or none of them. In treating of ssthresh, we mimic what tcp_enter_loss() does. The previous state (in frto_counter) must be available until we have checked it in tcp_enter_frto(), and also ACK information flag in process_frto().

2007-04-20RPC: Fix the TCP resend semantics for NFSv4Trond Myklebust
Fix a regression due to the patch "NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4 requests over TCP" The assumption made in xprt_transmit() that the condition "req->rq_bytes_sent == 0 and request is on the receive list" should imply that we're dealing with a retransmission is false. Firstly, it may simply happen that the socket send queue was full at the time the request was initially sent through xprt_transmit(). Secondly, doing this for each request that was retransmitted implies that we disconnect and reconnect for _every_ request that happened to be retransmitted irrespective of whether or not a disconnection has already occurred. Fix is to move this logic into the call_status request timeout handler. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-04-18[IrDA]: Correctly handling socket errorOlaf Kirch
This patch fixes an oops first reported in mid 2006 - see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/29/358 The cause of this bug report is that when an error is signalled on the socket, irda_recvmsg_stream returns without removing a local wait_queue variable from the socket's sk_sleep queue. This causes havoc further down the road. In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on the socket when receiving a disconnect indication. This is not a good fix, as this sets sk_sleep to NULL, causing applications sleeping in recvmsg (and other places) to oops. This is against the latest net-2.6 and should be considered for -stable inclusion.

2007-04-18[SCTP]: Do not interleave non-fragments when in partial deliveryVlad Yasevich
The way partial delivery is currently implemnted, it is possible to intereleave a message (either from another steram, or unordered) that is not part of partial delivery process. The only way to this is for a message to not be a fragment and be 'in order' or unorderd for a given stream. This will result in bypassing the reassembly/ordering queues where things live duing partial delivery, and the message will be delivered to the socket in the middle of partial delivery. This is a two-fold problem, in that: 1. the app now must check the stream-id and flags which it may not be doing. 2. this clearing partial delivery state from the association and results in ulp hanging. This patch is a band-aid over a much bigger problem in that we don't do stream interleave. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-04-13[VLAN]: Allow VLAN interface on top of bridge interfaceJerome Borsboom
When a VLAN interface is created on top of a bridge interface and netfilter is enabled to see the bridged packets, the packets can be corrupted when passing through the netfilter code. This is caused by the VLAN driver not setting the 'protocol' and 'nh' members of the sk_buff structure. In general, this is no problem as the VLAN interface is mostly connected to a physical ethernet interface which does not use the 'protocol' and 'nh' members. For a bridge interface, however, these members do matter. Signed-off-by: Jerome Borsboom <j.borsboom@erasmusmc.nl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-04-10[NETFILTER]: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix oops in checkentry functionJaroslav Kysela
The clusterip_config_find_get() already increases entries reference counter, so there is no reason to do it twice in checkentry() callback. This causes the config to be freed before it is removed from the list, resulting in a crash when adding the next rule.

2007-04-09[TCP]: slow_start_after_idle should influence cwnd validation tooDavid S. Miller
For the cases that slow_start_after_idle are meant to deal with, it is almost a certainty that the congestion window tests will think the connection is application limited and we'll thus decrease the cwnd there too. This defeats the whole point of setting slow_start_after_idle to zero. So test it there too. We do not cancel out the entire tcp_cwnd_validate() function so that if the sysctl is changed we still have the validation state maintained. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Beet mode looks for the beet pseudo header after the outer IP header, which is wrong since that is followed by the ESP header. Additionally it needs to adjust the packet length after removing the pseudo header and point the data pointer to the real data location.
