2007-04-25[CCID3]: Use MSS for larger initial windowsGerrit Renker
This improves the slow-start phase by using the MSS (as suggested in RFC 4342, sec. 5) instead of the packet size s. Also figured out that __u32 is ample resource enough. After applying, I got the following in the logs: ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: client(f7421700), s=6, MSS=1424, w_init=4380, R_sample=176us, X=24886363 Had the previous variant been used, w_init would have been as low as 24. Committer note: removed unneeded cast to unsigned long long that was causing a compiler warning on 64bit architectures.

2007-04-25[DCCP]: Remove ambiguity in the way before48 is usedGerrit Renker
This removes two ambiguities in employing the new definition of before48, following the analysis on http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01295.html (1) Updating GSR when P.seqno >= S.SWL With the old definition we did not update when P.seqno and S.SWL are 2^47 apart. To ensure the same behaviour as with the old definition, this is replaced with the equivalent condition dccp_delta_seqno(S.SWL, P.seqno) >= 0 (2) Sending SYNC when P.seqno >= S.OSR Here it is debatable whether the new definition causes an ambiguity: the case is similar to (1); and to have consistency with the case (1), we use the equivalent condition dccp_delta_seqno(S.OSR, P.seqno) >= 0 Detailed Justification
2007-04-25[DCCP]: Fix for follows48Gerrit Renker
The follows48 relation identifies whether 48-bit sequence number x is the direct successor of y. Currently, it does not handle cases of the following type correctly: follows48(0x(prefix)10000LL, 0x(prefix)0FFFFLL) where prefix is an arbitrary hex sequence of up to 7 digits. This is fixed by reusing the new dccp_delta_seqno function.

2007-03-09[DCCP]: Initialise write_xmit_timer also on passive socketsGerrit Renker
The TX CCID needs the write_xmit_timer for delaying packet sends. Previously this timer was only activated on active (connecting) sockets. This patch initialises the write_xmit_timer in sync with the other timers, i.e. the timer will be ready on any socket. This is used by applications with a listening socket which start to stream after receiving an initiation by the client. The write_xmit_timer is stopped when the application closes, as before. Was tested to work and to remove the timer bug reported on dccp@vger. Also moved timer initialisation into timer.c (static).

This reverts an earlier patch which disabled bidirectional mode, meaning that a listening (passive) socket was not allowed to write to the other (active) end of the connection. This mode had been disabled when there were problems with CCID3, but it imposes a constraint on socket programming and thus hinders deployment.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-08[NET]: change layout of ehash tableEric Dumazet
ehash table layout is currently this one : First half of this table is used by sockets not in TIME_WAIT state Second half of it is used by sockets in TIME_WAIT state. This is non optimal because of for a given hash or socket, the two chain heads are located in separate cache lines. Moreover the locks of the second half are never used. If instead of this halving, we use two list heads in inet_ehash_bucket instead of only one, we probably can avoid one cache miss, and reduce ram usage, particularly if sizeof(rwlock_t) is big (various CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC settings). So we still halves the table but we keep together related chains to speedup lookups and socket state change. In this patch I did not try to align struct inet_ehash_bucket, but a future patch could try to make this structure have a convenient size (a power of two or a multiple of L1_CACHE_SIZE). I guess rwlock will just vanish as soon as RCU is plugged into ehash :) , so maybe we dont need to scratch our heads to align the bucket... Note : In case struct inet_ehash_bucket is not a power of two, we could probably change alloc_large_system_hash() (in case it use __get_free_pages()) to free the unused space. It currently allocates a big zone, but the last quarter of it could be freed. Again, this should be a temporary 'problem'. Patch tested on ipv4 tcp only, but should be OK for IPV6 and DCCP.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Perform history operations only after packet has been sentGerrit Renker
This migrates all packet history operations into the routine ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent, thereby removing synchronization problems that occur when, as before, the operations are spread over multiple routines. The following minor simplifications are also applied: * several simplifications now follow from this change - several tests are now no longer required * removal of one unnecessary variable (dp) Justification: Currently packet history operations span two different routines, one of which is likely to pass through several iterations of sleeping and awakening. The first routine, ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet, allocates an entry and sets a few fields. The remaining fields are filled in when the second routine (which is not within a sleeping context), ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent, is called. This has several strong drawbacks: * it is not necessary to split history operations - all fields can be filled in by the second routine * the first routine is called multiple times, until a packet can be sent, and sleeps meanwhile - this causes a lot of difficulties with regard to keeping the list consistent * since both routines do not have a producer-consumer like synchronization, it is very difficult to maintain data across calls to these routines * the fact that the routines are called in different contexts (sleeping, not sleeping) adds further problems Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Acked-by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

This puts the window counter computation [RFC 4342, 8.1] into a separate function which is called whenever a new packet is ready for immediate transmission in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet. Justification: The window counter update was previously computed after the packet was sent. This has two drawbacks, both fixed by this patch: 1) re-compute another timestamp almost directly after the packet was sent (expensive), 2) the CCVal for the window counter is needed at the instant the packet is sent. Further details: The initialisation of the window counter is left in the state NO_SENT, as before. The algorithm will do nothing if either RTT is initialised to 0 (which is ok) or if the RTT value remains below 4 microseconds (which is almost pathological).

To limit the amount of possible damage in such cases, the patch * introduces an upper limit which identifies a maximum `sane' RTT value; * uses a macro to enforce this upper limit. Using a macro was given preference, since it is necessary to identify the calling function in the warning message. Since exceeding this threshold identifies a critical condition, DCCP_CRIT is used and not DCCP_WARN. Many thanks to Ian McDonald for collaboration on this issue.

This is an optimisation to reduce CPU load. The received feedback is now only directed to the active CCID component, without requiring processing also by the inactive one. As a consequence, a similar test in ccid3.c is now redundant and is also removed. Justification: Currently DCCP works as a unidirectional service, i.e. a listening server is not at the same time a connecting client. As far as I can see, several modifications are necessary until that becomes possible. At the present time, received feedback is both fed to the rx/tx CCID modules.

In migrating towards using the newer functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 for TFRC computations mapped from floating-point onto integer arithmetic, this completes the last stage of modifications. In particular, the overflow case for computing X_calc is circumvented by * breaking the computation into two stages * the first stage, res = (s*1E6)/R, cannot overflow due to use of u64 * in the second stage, res = (res*1E6)/f, overflow on u32 is avoided due to (i) returning UINT_MAX in this case (which is logically appropriate) and (ii) issuing a warning message into the system log (since very likely there is a problem somewhere else with the parameters) Lastly, all such scaling operations are now exported into tfrc.h, since actually this form of scaled computation is specific to TFRC and not to CCID3.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Simplify calculation for reverse lookup of pGerrit Renker
This simplifies the calculation of a value p for a given fval when the first loss interval is computed (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). It makes use of the two new functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 to provide overflow protection. Additionally, protection against divide-by-zero is extended - in this case the function will return the maximally possible value of p=100%. Background: The maximum fval, f(100%), is approximately 244, i.e. the scaled value of fval should never exceed 244E6, which fits easily into u32. The problem is the scaling by 10^6, since additionally R(TT) is in microseconds. This is resolved by breaking the division into two stages: the first stage computes fval=(s*10^6)/R, stores that into u64; the second stage computes fval = (fval*10^6)/X_recv and complains if overflow is reached for u32. This case is safe since the TFRC reverse-lookup routine then returns p=100%.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Replace scaled division operationsGerrit Renker
This replaces the remaining uses of usecs_div with scaled_div32, which internally uses 64bit division and produces a warning on overflow.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Finer-grained resolution of sending ratesGerrit Renker
This patch * resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0 * supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second * simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to * cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second) * allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3 * avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off The patch implements a revised strategy from http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Fix two bugs in sending rate computationGerrit Renker
This fixes 1) a bug in the recomputation of the sending rate by the nofeedback timer when no feedback at all has so far been sent by the receiver: min_t was used instead of max_t, which is wrong (cf. RFC 3448, p. 10); 2) an error in the computation of larger initial windows: instead of min(... max()) (cf. RFC 4342, 5.), the code had used max(... max()).

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Two optimisations for sending rate recomputationGerrit Renker
This performs two optimisations for the recomputation of the sending rate. 1) Currently the target sending rate X_calc is recalculated whenever a) the nofeedback timer expires, or b) a feedback packet is received. In the (a) case, recomputing X_calc is redundant, since * the parameters p and RTT do not change in between the reception of feedback packets; * the parameter X_recv is either modified from received feedback or via the nofeedback timer; * a test (`p == 0') in the nofeedback timer avoids using a stale/undefined value of X_calc if p was previously 0. 2) The nofeedback timer now only recomputes a timestamp when p == 0. This is according to step (4) of [RFC 3448, 4.3] and avoids unnecessarily determining a timestamp. A debug statement about not updating X is also removed - it helps very little in debugging and just clutters the logs.
