2006-06-18[TCP]: Fix compile warning in tcp_probe.cDavid S. Miller1-1/+3
The suseconds_t et al. are not necessarily any particular type on every platform, so cast to unsigned long so that we can use one printf format string and avoid warnings across the board Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-06-18[TCP]: TCP Probe congestion window tracingStephen Hemminger2-0/+180
This adds a new module for tracking TCP state variables non-intrusively using kprobes. It has a simple /proc interface that outputs one line for each packet received. A sample usage is to collect congestion window and ssthresh over time graphs. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-06-18[TCP]: Minimum congestion window consolidation.Stephen Hemminger8-46/+21
Many of the TCP congestion methods all just use ssthresh as the minimum congestion window on decrease. Rather than duplicating the code, just have that be the default if that handle in the ops structure is not set. Minor behaviour change to TCP compound. It probably wants to use this (ssthresh) as lower bound, rather than ssthresh/2 because the latter causes undershoot on loss.

2006-06-18[TCP]: TCP Veno congestion controlBin Zhou3-0/+251
TCP Veno module is a new congestion control module to improve TCP performance over wireless networks. The key innovation in TCP Veno is the enhancement of TCP Reno/Sack congestion control algorithm by using the estimated state of a connection based on TCP Vegas. This scheme significantly reduces "blind" reduction of TCP window regardless of the cause of packet loss. This work is based on the research paper "TCP Veno: TCP Enhancement for Transmission over Wireless Access Networks." C. P. Fu, S. C. Liew, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, Feb. 2003.

2006-06-18[TCP]: TCP Low Priority congestion controlWong Hoi Sing Edison3-0/+349
TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of bandwidth as targeted by TCP. Available from: http://www.ece.rice.edu/~akuzma/Doc/akuzma/TCP-LP.pdf Original Author: Aleksandar Kuzmanovic <akuzma@northwestern.edu> See http://www-ece.rice.edu/networks/TCP-LP/ for their implementation. As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms. Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from the original TCP-LP implementation: o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking within cong_avoid. o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped on checking and updating. o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, sicne OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular. o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code. o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in tcp_time_stamp format.

routing-based heuristic Call Forwarding doesn't need to create an expectation if both peers can reach each other without our help.

2006-06-18[IPSEC] proto: Move transport mode input path into xfrm_mode_transportHerbert Xu4-38/+32
Now that we have xfrm_mode objects we can move the transport mode specific input decapsulation code into xfrm_mode_transport. This removes duplicate code as well as unnecessary header movement in case of tunnel mode SAs since we will discard the original IP header immediately. This also fixes a minor bug for transport-mode ESP where the IP payload length is set to the correct value minus the header length (with extension headers for IPv6). Of course the other neat thing is that we no longer have to allocate temporary buffers to hold the IP headers for ESP and IPComp.

2006-06-18[IPSEC] xfrm: Undo afinfo lock proliferationHerbert Xu2-7/+0
The number of locks used to manage afinfo structures can easily be reduced down to one each for policy and state respectively. This is based on the observation that the write locks are only held by module insertion/removal which are very rare events so there is no need to further differentiate between the insertion of modules like ipv6 versus esp6. The removal of the read locks in xfrm4_policy.c/xfrm6_policy.c might look suspicious at first. However, after you realise that nobody ever takes the corresponding write lock you'll feel better :) As far as I can gather it's an attempt to guard against the removal of the corresponding modules. Since neither module can be unloaded at all we can leave it to whoever fixes up IPv6 unloading :) Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-06-12[TCP]: continued: reno sacked_out count fixAki M Nyrhinen1-3/+1
From: Aki M Nyrhinen <anyrhine@cs.helsinki.fi> IMHO the current fix to the problem (in_flight underflow in reno) is incorrect. it treats the symptons but ignores the problem. the problem is timing out packets other than the head packet when we don't have sack. i try to explain (sorry if explaining the obvious). with sack, scanning the retransmit queue for timed out packets is fine because we know which packets in our retransmit queue have been acked by the receiver. without sack, we know only how many packets in our retransmit queue the receiver has acknowledged, but no idea which packets. think of a "typical" slow-start overshoot case, where for example every third packet in a window get lost because a router buffer gets full. with sack, we check for timeouts on those every third packet (as the rest have been sacked). the packet counting works out and if there is no reordering, we'll retransmit exactly the packets that were lost. without sack, however, we check for timeout on every packet and end up retransmitting consecutive packets in the retransmit queue. in our slow-start example, 2/3 of those retransmissions are unnecessary. these unnecessary retransmissions eat the congestion window and evetually prevent fast recovery from continuing, if enough packets were lost. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-06-06[TCP]: Avoid skb_pull if possible when trimming headHerbert Xu ~{PmVHI~}1-7/+5
Trimming the head of an skb by calling skb_pull can cause the packet to become unaligned if the length pulled is odd. Since the length is entirely arbitrary for a FIN packet carrying data, this is actually quite common. Unaligned data is not the end of the world, but we should avoid it if it's easily done. In this case it is trivial. Since we're discarding all of the head data it doesn't matter whether we move skb->data forward or back. However, it is still possible to have unaligned skb->data in general. So network drivers should be prepared to handle it instead of crashing. This patch also adds an unlikely marking on len < headlen since partial ACKs on head data are extremely rare in the wild. As the return value of __pskb_trim_head is no longer ever NULL that has been removed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu ~{PmV>HI~} <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

The beginning of paddc is supposed to be the same as tmp which was sanity-checked above, but it might not be the same in reality.

If the check below (t->private->number != paddc->num_counters) nevertheless passes (perhaps this requires the race condition to be triggered), IPT_ENTRY_ITERATE() would read kernel memory beyond the allocation size, potentially causing an oops or leaking sensitive data (e.g., passwords from host system or from another VPS) via counter increments.
