sctp: Clean up TEST_FRAME hacks.

2009-03-21T20:41:09+00:00

Remove 2 TEST_FRAME hacks that are no longer needed. These allowed sctp regression tests to compile before, but are no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sctp: Fix broken RTO-doubling for data retransmits

2009-03-03T06:49:18+00:00

Commit faee47cdbfe8d74a1573c2f81ea6dbb08d735be6 (sctp: Fix the RTO-doubling on idle-link heartbeats) broke the RTO doubling for data retransmits. If the heartbeat was sent before the data T3-rtx time, the the RTO will not double upon the T3-rtx expiration. Distingish between the operations by passing an argument to the function. Additionally, Wei Youngjun pointed out that our treatment of requested HEARTBEATS and timer HEARTBEATS is the same wrt resetting congestion window. That needs to be separated, since user requested HEARTBEATS should not treat the link as idle. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sctp: Inherit all socket options from parent correctly.

2009-02-16T08:03:11+00:00

During peeloff/accept() sctp needs to save the parent socket state into the new socket so that any options set on the parent are inherited by the child socket. This was found when the parent/listener socket issues SO_BINDTODEVICE, but the data was misrouted after a route cache flush. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sctp: Fix the RTO-doubling on idle-link heartbeats

2009-02-16T08:03:10+00:00

SCTP incorrectly doubles rto ever time a Hearbeat chunk is generated. However RFC 4960 states: On an idle destination address that is allowed to heartbeat, it is recommended that a HEARTBEAT chunk is sent once per RTO of that destination address plus the protocol parameter 'HB.interval', with jittering of +/- 50% of the RTO value, and exponential backoff of the RTO if the previous HEARTBEAT is unanswered. Essentially, of if the heartbean is unacknowledged, do we double the RTO. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sctp: Clean up sctp checksumming code

2009-02-16T08:03:10+00:00

The sctp crc32c checksum is always generated in little endian. So, we clean up the code to treat it as little endian and remove all the __force casts. Suggested by Herbert Xu. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sctp: Allow to disable SCTP checksums via module parameter

2009-02-16T08:03:09+00:00

This is a new version of my patch, now using a module parameter instead of a sysctl, so that the option is harder to find. Please note that, once the module is loaded, it is still possible to change the value of the parameter in /sys/module/sctp/parameters/, which is useful if you want to do performance comparisons without rebooting. Computation of SCTP checksums significantly affects the performance of SCTP. For example, using two dual-Opteron 246 connected using a Gbe network, it was not possible to achieve more than ~730 Mbps, compared to 941 Mbps after disabling SCTP checksums. Unfortunately, SCTP checksum offloading in NICs is not commonly available (yet). By default, checksums are still enabled, of course.

sctp: Fix crc32c calculations on big-endian arhes.

2009-01-22T22:52:23+00:00

crc32c algorithm provides a byteswaped result. On little-endian arches, the result ends up in big-endian/network byte order. On big-endinan arches, the result ends up in little-endian order and needs to be byte swapped again. Thus calling cpu_to_le32 gives the right output.

sctp: Implement socket option SCTP_GET_ASSOC_NUMBER

2008-12-26T00:57:24+00:00

Implement socket option SCTP_GET_ASSOC_NUMBER of the latest ietf socket extensions API draft. 8.2.5. Get the Current Number of Associations (SCTP_GET_ASSOC_NUMBER) This option gets the current number of associations that are attached to a one-to-many style socket. The option value is an uint32_t.

net: Use a percpu_counter for sockets_allocated

2008-11-26T05:16:35+00:00

Instead of using one atomic_t per protocol, use a percpu_counter for "sockets_allocated", to reduce cache line contention on heavy duty network servers. Note : We revert commit (248969ae31e1b3276fc4399d67ce29a5d81e6fd9 net: af_unix can make unix_nr_socks visbile in /proc), since it is not anymore used after sock_prot_inuse_add() addition Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
