2008-05-21tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayedSridhar Samudrala
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits. The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits. I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel. In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset. At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets dst_cache entry remains NULL. So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu. Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-04-10[Syncookies]: Add support for TCP options via timestamps.Florian Westphal
Allow the use of SACK and window scaling when syncookies are used and the client supports tcp timestamps. Options are encoded into the timestamp sent in the syn-ack and restored from the timestamp echo when the ack is received. Based on earlier work by Glenn Griffin. This patch avoids increasing the size of structs by encoding TCP options into the least significant bits of the timestamp and by not using any 'timestamp offset'. The downside is that the timestamp sent in the packet after the synack will increase by several seconds. changes since v1: don't duplicate timestamp echo decoding function, put it into ipv4/syncookie.c and have ipv6/syncookies.c use it.

2008-04-07[TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+LIlpo Järvinen
This fixes Bugzilla #10384 tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use. The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well, leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate ACK will fix the S counter. More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie., the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs had arrived. So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit 1b6d427bb7e ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

2008-03-21[NET]: Add per-connection option to set max TSO frame sizePeter P Waskiewicz Jr
Update: My mailer ate one of Jarek's feedback mails... Fixed the parameter in netif_set_gso_max_size() to be u32, not u16. Fixed the whitespace issue due to a patch import botch. Changed the types from u32 to unsigned int to be more consistent with other variables in the area. Also brought the patch up to the latest net-2.6.26 tree. Update: Made gso_max_size container 32 bits, not 16. Moved the location of gso_max_size within netdev to be less hotpath. Made more consistent names between the sock and netdev layers, and added a define for the max GSO size. Update: Respun for net-2.6.26 tree. Update: changed max_gso_frame_size and sk_gso_max_size from signed to unsigned - thanks Stephen! This patch adds the ability for device drivers to control the size of the TSO frames being sent to them, per TCP connection. By setting the netdevice's gso_max_size value, the socket layer will set the GSO frame size based on that value. This will propogate into the TCP layer, and send TSO's of that size to the hardware. This can be desirable to help tune the bursty nature of TSO on a per-adapter basis, where one may have 1 GbE and 10 GbE devices coexisting in a system, one running multiqueue and the other not, etc. This can also be desirable for devices that cannot support full 64 KB TSO's, but still want to benefit from some level of segmentation offloading.

2008-03-20[TCP]: Fix shrinking windows with window scalingPatrick McHardy
When selecting a new window, tcp_select_window() tries not to shrink the offered window by using the maximum of the remaining offered window size and the newly calculated window size. The newly calculated window size is always a multiple of the window scaling factor, the remaining window size however might not be since it depends on rcv_wup/rcv_nxt. This means we're effectively shrinking the window when scaling it down. The dump below shows the problem (scaling factor 2^7): - Window size of 557 (71296) is advertised, up to 3111907257: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . ack 3111835961 win 557 <...> - New window size of 514 (65792) is advertised, up to 3111907217, 40 bytes below the last end: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . 3113575668:3113577116(1448) ack 3111841425 win 514 <...> The number 40 results from downscaling the remaining window: 3111907257 - 3111841425 = 65832 65832 / 2^7 = 514 65832 % 2^7 = 40 If the sender uses up the entire window before it is shrunk, this can have chaotic effects on the connection. When sending ACKs, tcp_acceptable_seq() will notice that the window has been shrunk since tcp_wnd_end() is before tp->snd_nxt, which makes it choose tcp_wnd_end() as sequence number. This will fail the receivers checks in tcp_sequence() however since it is before it's tp->rcv_wup, making it respond with a dupack. If both sides are in this condition, this leads to a constant flood of ACKs until the connection times out. Make sure the window is never shrunk by aligning the remaining window to the window scaling factor. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-03-11[TCP]: Prevent sending past receiver window with TSO (at last skb)Ilpo Järvinen
With TSO it was possible to send past the receiver window when the skb to be sent was the last in the write queue while the receiver window is the limiting factor. One can notice that there's a loophole in the tcp_mss_split_point that lacked a receiver window check for the tcp_write_queue_tail() if also cwnd was smaller than the full skb. Noticed by Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> in form of "Treason uncloaked! Peer ... shrinks window ....

This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions for stream protocols. At the same time, some stream memory accounting functions are removed since other functions do same thing. Renaming: sk_stream_free_skb() -> sk_wmem_free_skb() __sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> __sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_schedule -> __sk_mem_schedule() sk_stream_pages() -> sk_mem_pages() sk_stream_rmem_schedule() -> sk_rmem_schedule() sk_stream_wmem_schedule() -> sk_wmem_schedule() sk_charge_skb() -> sk_mem_charge() Removeing sk_stream_rfree(): consolidates into sock_rfree() sk_stream_set_owner_r(): consolidates into skb_set_owner_r() sk_stream_mem_schedule() The following functions are added. sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge() In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is removed from sk_mem_charge(). Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call. Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface in TCP and SCTP.

2008-01-28[TCP]: Force TSO splits to MSS boundariesIlpo Järvinen
If snd_wnd - snd_nxt wasn't multiple of MSS, skb was split on odd boundary by the callers of tcp_window_allows. We try really hard to avoid unnecessary modulos. Therefore the old caller side check "if (skb->len < limit)" was too wide as well because limit is not bound in any way to skb->len and can cause spurious testing for trimming in the middle of the queue while we only wanted that to happen at the tail of the queue. A simple additional caller side check for tcp_write_queue_tail would likely have resulted 2 x modulos because the limit would have to be first calculated from window, however, doing that unnecessary modulo is not mandatory. After a minor change to the algorithm, simply determine first if the modulo is needed at all and at that point immediately decide also from which value it should be calculated from.

2008-01-28[TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache useIlpo Järvinen
Key points of this patch are: - In case new SACK information is advance only type, no skb processing below previously discovered highest point is done - Optimize cases below highest point too since there's no need to always go up to highest point (which is very likely still present in that SACK), this is not entirely true though because I'm dropping the fastpath_skb_hint which could previously optimize those cases even better. Whether that's significant, I'm not too sure. Currently it will provide skipping by walking. Combined with RB-tree, all skipping would become fast too regardless of window size (can be done incrementally later). Previously a number of cases in TCP SACK processing fails to take advantage of costly stored information in sack_recv_cache, most importantly, expected events such as cumulative ACK and new hole ACKs. Processing on such ACKs result in rather long walks building up latencies (which easily gets nasty when window is huge). Those latencies are often completely unnecessary compared with the amount of _new_ information received, usually for cumulative ACK there's no new information at all, yet TCP walks whole queue unnecessary potentially taking a number of costly cache misses on the way, etc.! Since the inclusion of highest_sack, there's a lot information that is very likely redundant (SACK fastpath hint stuff, fackets_out, highest_sack), though there's no ultimate guarantee that they'll remain the same whole the time (in all unearthly scenarios). Take advantage of this knowledge here and drop fastpath hint and use direct access to highest SACKed skb as a replacement. Effectively "special cased" fastpath is dropped. This change adds some complexity to introduce better coveraged "fastpath", though the added complexity should make TCP behave more cache friendly. The current ACK's SACK blocks are compared against each cached block individially and only ranges that are new are then scanned by the high constant walk. For other parts of write queue, even when in previously known part of the SACK blocks, a faster skip function is used (if necessary at all). In addition, whenever possible, TCP fast-forwards to highest_sack skb that was made available by an earlier patch. In typical case, no other things but this fast-forward and mandatory markings after that occur making the access pattern quite similar to the former fastpath "special case". DSACKs are special case that must always be walked. The local to recv_sack_cache copying could be more intelligent w.r.t DSACKs which are likely to be there only once but that is left to a separate patch.

2007-10-10[TCP]: Make fackets_out accurateIlpo Järvinen
Substraction for fackets_out is unconditional when snd_una advances, thus there's no need to do it inside the loop. Just make sure correct bounds are honored. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-10[TCP]: Maintain highest_sack accurately to the highest skbIlpo Järvinen
In general, it should not be necessary to call tcp_fragment for already SACKed skbs, but it's better to be safe than sorry. And indeed, it can be called from sacktag when a DSACK arrives or some ACK (with SACK) reordering occurs (sacktag could be made to avoid the call in the latter case though I'm not sure if it's worth of the trouble and added complexity to cover such marginal case). The collapse case has return for SACKED_ACKED case earlier, so just WARN_ON if internal inconsistency is detected for some reason.

2007-10-10[TCP]: Move sack_ok access to obviously named funcs & cleanupIlpo Järvinen
Previously code had IsReno/IsFack defined as macros that were local to tcp_input.c though sack_ok field has user elsewhere too for the same purpose. This changes them to static inlines as preferred according the current coding style and unifies the access to sack_ok across multiple files. Magic bitops of sack_ok for FACK and DSACK are also abstracted to functions with appropriate names. Note: - One sack_ok = 1 remains but that's self explanary, i.e., it enables sack - Couple of !IsReno cases are changed to tcp_is_sack - There were no users for IsDSack => I dropped it Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.
