2009-09-01pkt_sched: Revert tasklet_hrtimer changes.David S. Miller
These are full of unresolved problems, mainly that conversions don't work 1-1 from hrtimers to tasklet_hrtimers because unlike hrtimers tasklets can't be killed from softirq context. And when a qdisc gets reset, that's exactly what we need to do here. We'll work this out in the net-next-2.6 tree and if warranted we'll backport that work to -stable.

2009-09-01net: sk_free() should be allowed right after sk_alloc()Jarek Poplawski
After commit 2b85a34e911bf483c27cfdd124aeb1605145dc80 (net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx) sk_free() frees socks conditionally and depends on sk_wmem_alloc being set e.g. in sock_init_data(). But in some cases sk_free() is called earlier, usually after other alloc errors. Fix is to move sk_wmem_alloc initialization from sock_init_data() to sk_alloc() itself.

2009-09-01netns: embed ip6_dst_ops directlyAlexey Dobriyan
struct net::ipv6.ip6_dst_ops is separatedly dynamically allocated, but there is no fundamental reason for it. Embed it directly into struct netns_ipv6. For that: * move struct dst_ops into separate header to fix circular dependencies I honestly tried not to, it's pretty impossible to do other way * drop dynamical allocation, allocate together with netns For a change, remove struct dst_ops::dst_net, it's deducible by using container_of() given dst_ops pointer.

2009-09-01Revert Backoff [v3]: Calculate TCP's connection close threshold as a time value.Damian Lukowski
RFC 1122 specifies two threshold values R1 and R2 for connection timeouts, which may represent a number of allowed retransmissions or a timeout value. Currently linux uses sysctl_tcp_retries{1,2} to specify the thresholds in number of allowed retransmissions. For any desired threshold R2 (by means of time) one can specify tcp_retries2 (by means of number of retransmissions) such that TCP will not time out earlier than R2. This is the case, because the RTO schedule follows a fixed pattern, namely exponential backoff. However, the RTO behaviour is not predictable any more if RTO backoffs can be reverted, as it is the case in the draft "Make TCP more Robust to Long Connectivity Disruptions" (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zimmermann-tcp-lcd). In the worst case TCP would time out a connection after 3.2 seconds, if the initial RTO equaled MIN_RTO and each backoff has been reverted. This patch introduces a function retransmits_timed_out(N), which calculates the timeout of a TCP connection, assuming an initial RTO of MIN_RTO and N unsuccessful, exponentially backed-off retransmissions. Whenever timeout decisions are made by comparing the retransmission counter to some value N, this function can be used, instead. The meaning of tcp_retries2 will be changed, as many more RTO retransmissions can occur than the value indicates. However, it yields a timeout which is similar to the one of an unpatched, exponentially backing off TCP in the same scenario. As no application could rely on an RTO greater than MIN_RTO, there should be no risk of a regression.

2009-09-01Revert Backoff [v3]: Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachableDamian Lukowski
Here, an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, is taken as an indication that the RTO retransmission has not been lost due to congestion, but because of a route failure somewhere along the path. With true congestion, a router won't trigger such a message and the patched TCP will operate as standard TCP. This patch reverts one RTO backoff, if an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, arrives. Based on the new RTO, the retransmission timer is reset to reflect the remaining time, or - if the revert clocked out the timer - a retransmission is sent out immediately. Backoffs are only reverted, if TCP is in RTO loss recovery, i.e. if there have been retransmissions and reversible backoffs, already. Changes from v2: 1) Renaming of skb in tcp_v4_err() moved to another patch. 2) Reintroduced tcp_bound_rto() and __tcp_set_rto(). 3) Fixed code comments.

2009-08-29ipv6: Update Neighbor Cache when IPv6 RA is received on a routerDavid Ward
When processing a received IPv6 Router Advertisement, the kernel creates or updates an IPv6 Neighbor Cache entry for the sender -- but presently this does not occur if IPv6 forwarding is enabled (net.ipv6.conf.*.forwarding = 1), or if IPv6 Router Advertisements are not accepted (net.ipv6.conf.*.accept_ra = 0), because in these cases processing of the Router Advertisement has already halted. This patch allows the Neighbor Cache to be updated in these cases, while still avoiding any modification to routes or link parameters. This continues to satisfy RFC 4861, since any entry created in the Neighbor Cache as the result of a received Router Advertisement is still placed in the STALE state.

2009-08-29tcp: fix premature termination of FIN_WAIT2 time-wait socketsOctavian Purdila
There is a race condition in the time-wait sockets code that can lead to premature termination of FIN_WAIT2 and, subsequently, to RST generation when the FIN,ACK from the peer finally arrives: Time TCP header 0.000000 30755 > http [SYN] Seq=0 Win=2920 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=282912 TSER=0 0.000008 http > 30755 aSYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 Win=2896 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=... 0.136899 HEAD /1b.html?n1Lg=v1 HTTP/1.0 [Packet size limited during capture] 0.136934 HTTP/1.0 200 OK [Packet size limited during capture] 0.136945 http > 30755 [FIN, ACK] Seq=187 Ack=207 Win=2690 Len=0 TSV=270521... 0.136974 30755 > http [ACK] Seq=207 Ack=187 Win=2734 Len=0 TSV=283049 TSER=... 0.177983 30755 > http [ACK] Seq=207 Ack=188 Win=2733 Len=0 TSV=283089 TSER=... 0.238618 30755 > http [FIN, ACK] Seq=207 Ack=188 Win=2733 Len=0 TSV=283151... 0.238625 http > 30755 [RST] Seq=188 Win=0 Len=0 Say twdr->slot = 1 and we are running inet_twdr_hangman and in this instance inet_twdr_do_twkill_work returns 1. At that point we will mark slot 1 and schedule inet_twdr_twkill_work. We will also make twdr->slot = 2. Next, a connection is closed and tcp_time_wait(TCP_FIN_WAIT2, timeo) is called which will create a new FIN_WAIT2 time-wait socket and will place it in the last to be reached slot, i.e. twdr->slot = 1. At this point say inet_twdr_twkill_work will run which will start destroying the time-wait sockets in slot 1, including the just added TCP_FIN_WAIT2 one. To avoid this issue we increment the slot only if all entries in the slot have been purged. This change may delay the slots cleanup by a time-wait death row period but only if the worker thread didn't had the time to run/purge the current slot in the next period (6 seconds with default sysctl settings). However, on such a busy system even without this change we would probably see delays... Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-08-28fib_trie: resize reworkJens Låås
Here is rework and cleanup of the resize function. Some bugs we had. We were using ->parent when we should use node_parent(). Also we used ->parent which is not assigned by inflate in inflate loop. Also a fix to set thresholds to power 2 to fit halve and double strategy. max_resize is renamed to max_work which better indicates it's function. Reaching max_work is not an error, so warning is removed. max_work only limits amount of work done per resize. (limits CPU-usage, outstanding memory etc). The clean-up makes it relatively easy to add fixed sized root-nodes if we would like to decrease the memory pressure on routers with large routing tables and dynamic routing. If we'll need that...

2009-08-28sit: allow ip fragmentation when using nopmtudisc to fix package lossSascha Hlusiak
if tunnel parameters have frag_off set to IP_DF, pmtudisc on the ipv4 link will be performed by deriving the mtu from the ipv4 link and setting the DF-Flag of the encapsulating IPv4 Header. If fragmentation is needed on the way, the IPv4 pmtu gets adjusted, the ipv6 package will be resent eventually, using the new and lower mtu and everyone is happy. If the frag_off parameter is unset, the mtu for the tunnel will be derived from the tunnel device or the ipv6 pmtu, which might be higher than the ipv4 pmtu. In that case we must allow the fragmentation of the IPv4 packet because the IPv6 mtu wouldn't 'learn' from the adjusted IPv4 pmtu, resulting in frequent icmp_frag_needed and package loss on the IPv6 layer. This patch allows fragmentation when tunnel was created with parameter nopmtudisc, like in ipip/gre tunnels. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hlusiak <contact@saschahlusiak.de> Signed-off-by: David S.
