2009-09-10net_sched: fix estimator lock selection for mq child qdiscsPatrick McHardy2-16/+27
When new child qdiscs are attached to the mq qdisc, they are actually attached as root qdiscs to the device queues. The lock selection for new estimators incorrectly picks the root lock of the existing and to be replaced qdisc, which results in a use-after-free once the old qdisc has been destroyed. Mark mq qdisc instances with a new flag and treat qdiscs attached to mq as children similar to regular root qdiscs. Additionally prevent estimators from being attached to the mq qdisc itself since it only updates its byte and packet counters during dumps.

2009-09-06net_sched: add classful multiqueue dummy schedulerDavid S. Miller4-13/+273
This patch adds a classful dummy scheduler which can be used as root qdisc for multiqueue devices and exposes each device queue as a child class. This allows to address queues individually and graft them similar to regular classes. Additionally it presents an accumulated view of the statistics of all real root qdiscs in the dummy root. Two new callbacks are added to the qdisc_ops and qdisc_class_ops: - cl_ops->select_queue selects the tx queue number for new child classes. - qdisc_ops->attach() overrides root qdisc device grafting to attach non-shared qdiscs to the queues.

2009-09-06net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_apiPatrick McHardy4-48/+31
Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from a few problems: - with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion. - all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a shared qdisc has been attached. - Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete. This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first (non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

Make the respective callbacks optionally and consistently return -EOPNOTSUPP for unsupported operations, instead of currently either -EOPNOTSUPP, -ENOSYS or no error. In case of sch_prio and sch_multiq, the removed operations additionally checked for an invalid class. This is not necessary since the class argument can only orginate from ->get() or in case of ->change is 0 for creation of new classes, in which case ->change() incorrectly returned -ENOENT.

2009-09-05sctp: Sysctl configuration for IPv4 Address ScopingBhaskar Dutta3-6/+38
This patch introduces a new sysctl option to make IPv4 Address Scoping configurable <draft-stewart-tsvwg-sctp-ipv4-00.txt>. In networking environments where DNAT rules in iptables prerouting chains convert destination IP's to link-local/private IP addresses, SCTP connections fail to establish as the INIT chunk is dropped by the kernel due to address scope match failure. For example to support overlapping IP addresses (same IP address with different vlan id) a Layer-5 application listens on link local IP's, and there is a DNAT rule that maps the destination IP to a link local IP. Such applications never get the SCTP INIT if the address-scoping draft is strictly followed. This sysctl configuration allows SCTP to function in such unconventional networking environments. Sysctl options: 0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping draft altogether 1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping (default, current behavior) 2 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 private addresses in init/init-ack 3 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 link local address in init/init-ack Signed-off-by: Bhaskar Dutta <bhaskar.dutta@globallogic.com> Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>
2009-09-05sctp: Get rid of an extra routing lookup when adding a transport.Vlad Yasevich1-6/+8
We used to perform 2 routing lookups for a new transport: one just for path mtu detection, and one to actually route to destination and path mtu update when sending a packet. There is no point in doing both of them, especially since the first one just for path mtu doesn't take into account source address and sometimes gives the wrong route, causing path mtu updates anyway. We now do just the one call to do both route to destination and get path mtu updates. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

We had a bug that we never stored the user-defined value for MAXSEG when setting the value on an association. Thus future PMTU events ended up re-writing the frag point and increasing it past user limit. Additionally, when setting the option on the socket/endpoint, we effect all current associations, which is against spec. Now, we store the user 'maxseg' value along with the computed 'frag_point'. We inherit 'maxseg' from the socket at association creation and use it as an upper limit for 'frag_point' when its set. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>
2009-09-05sctp: Don't do NAGLE delay on large writes that were fragmented smallVlad Yasevich2-1/+5
SCTP will delay the last part of a large write due to NAGLE, if that part is smaller then MTU. Since we are doing large writes, we might as well send the last portion now instead of waiting untill the next large write happens. The small portion will be sent as is regardless, so it's better to not delay it. This is a result of much discussions with Wei Yongjun <yjwei@cn.fujitsu.com> and Doug Graham <dgraham@nortel.com>.

2009-09-05sctp: Nagle delay should be based on path mtuVlad Yasevich1-2/+3
The decision to delay due to Nagle should be based on the path mtu and future packet size. We currently incorrectly base it on 'frag_point' which is the SCTP DATA segment size, and also we do not count DATA chunk header overhead in the computation.

2009-09-05sctp: Try not to change a_rwnd when faking a SACK from SHUTDOWN.Vlad Yasevich1-3/+4
We currently set a_rwnd to 0 when faking a SACK from SHUTDOWN. This results in an hung association if the remote only uses SHUTDOWNs (which it's allowed to do) to acknowlege DATA when closing. The reason for that is that we simply honor the a_rwnd from the sack, but since we faked it to be 0, we enter 0-window probing. The fix is to use the peers old rwnd and add our flight size to it.

2009-09-05sctp: drop a_rwnd to 0 when receive buffer overflows.Vlad Yasevich1-2/+35
SCTP has a problem that when small chunks are used, it is possible to exhaust the receiver buffer without fully closing receive window. This happens due to all overhead that we have account for with small messages. To fix this, when receive buffer is exceeded, we'll drop the window to 0 and save the 'drop' portion. When application starts reading data and freeing up recevie buffer space, we'll wait until we've reached the 'drop' window and then add back this 'drop' one mtu at a time. This worked well in testing and under stress produced rather even recovery. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

2009-09-05sctp: Fix error count increments that were results of HEARTBEATSVlad Yasevich2-5/+17
SCTP RFC 4960 states that unacknowledged HEARTBEATS count as errors agains a given transport or endpoint. As such, we should increment the error counts for only for unacknowledged HB, otherwise we detect failure too soon. This goes for both the overall error count and the path error count. Now, there is a difference in how the detection is done between the two. The path error detection is done after the increment, so to detect it properly, we actually need to exceed the path threshold. The overall error detection is done _BEFORE_ the increment. Thus to detect the failure, it's enough for the error count to match the threshold. This is why all the state functions use '>=' to detect failure, while path detection uses '>'. Thanks goes to Chunbo Luo <chunbo.luo@windriver.com> who first proposed patches to fix this issue and made me re-read the spec and the code to figure out how this cruft really works.

2009-09-05sctp: Send user messages to the lower layer as oneVlad Yasevich4-15/+57
Currenlty, sctp breaks up user messages into fragments and sends each fragment to the lower layer by itself. This means that for each fragment we go all the way down the stack and back up. This also discourages bundling of multiple fragments when they can fit into a sigle packet (ex: due to user setting a low fragmentation threashold). We introduce a new command SCTP_CMD_SND_MSG and hand the whole message down state machine. The state machine and the side-effect parser will cork the queue, add all chunks from the message to the queue, and then un-cork the queue thus causing the chunks to get transmitted.

2009-09-05sctp: Fix data segmentation with small frag_sizeVlad Yasevich1-9/+23
Since an application may specify the maximum SCTP fragment size that all data should be fragmented to, we need to fix how we do segmentation. Right now, if a user specifies a small fragment size, the segment size can go negative in the presence of AUTH or COOKIE_ECHO bundling. What we need to do is track the largest possbile DATA chunk that can fit into the mtu. Then if the fragment size specified is bigger then this maximum length, we'll shrink it down. Otherwise, we just use the smaller segment size without changing it further. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

If this was a result of a close() call, there will be no socket and will cause a memory leak. We'll prevent this by setting the socket state to CLOSING and disallow new associations when in this state. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>
2009-09-05sctp: Fix piggybacked ACKsDoug Graham1-4/+5
This patch corrects the conditions under which a SACK will be piggybacked on a DATA packet. The previous condition was incorrect due to a misinterpretation of RFC 4960 and/or RFC 2960. Specifically, the following paragraph from section 6.2 had not been implemented correctly: Before an endpoint transmits a DATA chunk, if any received DATA chunks have not been acknowledged (e.g., due to delayed ack), the sender should create a SACK and bundle it with the outbound DATA chunk, as long as the size of the final SCTP packet does not exceed the current MTU. See Section 6.2. When about to send a DATA chunk, the code now checks to see if the SACK timer is running. If it is, we know we have a SACK to send to the peer, so we append the SACK (assuming available space in the packet) and turn off the timer. For a simple request-response scenario, this will result in the SACK being bundled with the response, meaning the the SACK is received quickly by the client, and also meaning that no separate SACK packet needs to be sent by the server to acknowledge the request. Prior to this patch, a separate SACK packet would have been sent by the server SCTP only after its delayed-ACK timer had expired (usually 200ms). This is wasteful of bandwidth, and can also have a major negative impact on performance due the interaction of delayed ACKs with the Nagle algorithm.

Here is a patch which fixes an issue observed when using TCP over IPv6 and AH from IPsec. When a connection gets closed the 4-way method and the last ACK from the server gets dropped, the subsequent FINs from the client do not get ACKed because tcp_v6_send_response does not set the transport header pointer. This causes ah6_output to try to allocate a lot of memory, which typically fails, so the ACKs never make it out of the stack.

2009-09-03ip: Report qdisc packet dropsEric Dumazet6-11/+30
Christoph Lameter pointed out that packet drops at qdisc level where not accounted in SNMP counters. Only if application sets IP_RECVERR, drops are reported to user (-ENOBUFS errors) and SNMP counters updated. IP_RECVERR is used to enable extended reliable error message passing, but these are not needed to update system wide SNMP stats. This patch changes things a bit to allow SNMP counters to be updated, regardless of IP_RECVERR being set or not on the socket. Example after an UDP tx flood # netstat -s ... IP: 1487048 outgoing packets dropped ... Udp: ... SndbufErrors: 1487048 send() syscalls, do however still return an OK status, to not break applications. Note : send() manual page explicitly says for -ENOBUFS error : "The output queue for a network interface was full. This generally indicates that the interface has stopped sending, but may be caused by transient congestion. (Normally, this does not occur in Linux. Packets are just silently dropped when a device queue overflows.) " This is not true for IP_RECVERR enabled sockets : a send() syscall that hit a qdisc drop returns an ENOBUFS error.
