tcp: fix tcp_release_cb() to dispatch via address family for mtu_reduced()

2014-10-17T07:43:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4fab9071950c2021d846e18351e0f46a1cffd67b ] Make sure we use the correct address-family-specific function for handling MTU reductions from within tcp_release_cb(). Previously AF_INET6 sockets were incorrectly always using the IPv6 code path when sometimes they were handling IPv4 traffic and thus had an IPv4 dst.

tcp: syncookies: do not use getnstimeofday()

2014-04-18T09:07:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 632623153196bf183a69686ed9c07eee98ff1bf8 ] While it is true that getnstimeofday() uses about 40 cycles if TSC is available, it can use 1600 cycles if hpet is the clocksource. Switch to get_jiffies_64(), as this is more than enough, and go back to 60 seconds periods.

tcp: syncookies: reduce cookie lifetime to 128 seconds

2014-03-14T22:00:54+00:00

commit 8c27bd75f04fb9cb70c69c3cfe24f4e6d8e15906 upstream. We currently accept cookies that were created less than 4 minutes ago (ie, cookies with counter delta 0-3). Combined with the 8 mss table values, this yields 32 possible values (out of 2**32) that will be valid. Reducing the lifetime to < 2 minutes halves the guessing chance while still providing a large enough period. While at it, get rid of jiffies value -- they overflow too quickly on 32 bit platforms. getnstimeofday is used to create a counter that increments every 64s. perf shows getnstimeofday cost is negible compared to sha_transform; normal tcp initial sequence number generation uses getnstimeofday, too.

net-tcp: fastopen: fix high order allocations

2014-03-13T22:19:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit f5ddcbbb40aa0ba7fbfe22355d287603dbeeaaac ] This patch fixes two bugs in fastopen : 1) The tcp_sendmsg(..., @size) argument was ignored. Code was relying on user not fooling the kernel with iovec mismatches 2) When MTU is about 64KB, tcp_send_syn_data() attempts order-5 allocations, which are likely to fail when memory gets fragmented.

tcp: Change return value of tcp_rcv_established()

2013-09-04T04:27:28+00:00

tcp_rcv_established() returns only one value namely 0. We change the return value to void (as suggested by David Miller). After commit 0c24604b (tcp: implement RFC 5961 4.2), we no longer send RSTs in response to SYNs. We can remove the check and processing on the return value of tcp_rcv_established(). We also fix jtcp_rcv_established() in tcp_probe.c to match that of tcp_rcv_established(). Signed-off-by: Vijay Subramanian Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing

2013-08-29T19:50:06+00:00

After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO packets. One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the buffering amount. This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so that we try to send one packet every ms. This field could be set by other transports. Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets makes sense to reach line rate. For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking. This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments. A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2). A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing. This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up. sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Neal Cardwell Cc: Yuchung Cheng Cc: Van Jacobson Cc: Tom Herbert Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S.
