2012-09-25ipv6: mip6: fix mip6_mh_filter()Eric Dumazet
mip6_mh_filter() should not modify its input, or else its caller would need to recompute ipv6_hdr() if skb->head is reallocated. Use skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-09-25ipv6: raw: fix icmpv6_filter()Eric Dumazet
icmpv6_filter() should not modify its input, or else its caller would need to recompute ipv6_hdr() if skb->head is reallocated. Use skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull() and change the prototype to make clear both sk and skb are const. Also, if icmpv6 header cannot be found, do not deliver the packet, as we do in IPv4. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-09-18ipv6: use net->rt_genid to check dst validityNicolas Dichtel
IPv6 dst should take care of rt_genid too. When a xfrm policy is inserted or deleted, all dst should be invalidated. To force the validation, dst entries should be created with ->obsolete set to DST_OBSOLETE_FORCE_CHK. This was already the case for all functions calling ip6_dst_alloc(), except for ip6_rt_copy(). As a consequence, we can remove the specific code in inet6_connection_sock. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

commit 144d56e91044181ec0ef67aeca91e9a8b5718348 ("tcp: fix possible socket refcount problem") is missing the IPv6 part.

Initialize return variable before exiting on an error path. The initial initialization of the return variable is also dropped, because that value is never used. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> ( if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret@p1 = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 when != &ret *if(...) { ... when != ret = e2 when forall return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-08-20net: tcp: move sk_rx_dst_set call after tcp_create_openreq_child()Neal Cardwell
This commit removes the sk_rx_dst_set calls from tcp_create_openreq_child(), because at that point the icsk_af_ops field of ipv6_mapped TCP sockets has not been set to its proper final value. Instead, to make sure we get the right sk_rx_dst_set variant appropriate for the address family of the new connection, we have tcp_v{4,6}_syn_recv_sock() directly call the appropriate function shortly after the call to tcp_create_openreq_child() returns. This also moves inet6_sk_rx_dst_set() to avoid a forward declaration with the new approach.

When userspace use RTM_GETROUTE to dump route table, with an already expired route entry, we always got an 'expires' value(2147157) calculated base on INT_MAX. The reason of this problem is in the following satement: rt->dst.expires - jiffies < INT_MAX gcc promoted the type of both sides of '<' to unsigned long, thus a small negative value would be considered greater than INT_MAX.

2012-07-23tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indicationsEric Dumazet
ICMP messages generated in output path if frame length is bigger than mtu are actually lost because socket is owned by user (doing the xmit) One example is the ipgre_tunnel_xmit() calling icmp_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED, htonl(mtu)); We had a similar case fixed in commit a34a101e1e6 (ipv6: disable GSO on sockets hitting dst_allfrag). Problem of such fix is that it relied on retransmit timers, so short tcp sessions paid a too big latency increase price. This patch uses the tcp_release_cb() infrastructure so that MTU reduction messages (ICMP messages) are not lost, and no extra delay is added in TCP transmits.

This patch impelements the common code for both the client and server. 1. TCP Fast Open option processing. Since Fast Open does not have an option number assigned by IANA yet, it shares the experiment option code 254 by implementing draft-ietf-tcpm-experimental-options with a 16 bits magic number 0xF989. This enables global experiments without clashing the scarce(2) experimental options available for TCP.

2012-07-18ipv6: add ipv6_addr_hash() helperEric Dumazet
Introduce ipv6_addr_hash() helper doing a XOR on all bits of an IPv6 address, with an optimized x86_64 version.

2012-07-17Merge branch 'nexthop_exceptions'David S. Miller
These patches implement the final mechanism necessary to really allow us to go without the route cache in ipv4. We need a place to have long-term storage of PMTU/redirect information which is independent of the routes themselves, yet does not get us back into a situation where we have to write to metrics or anything like that. For this we use an "next-hop exception" table in the FIB nexthops. The one thing I desperately want to avoid is having to create clone routes in the FIB trie for this purpose, because that is very expensive. However, I'm willing to entertain such an idea later if this current scheme proves to have downsides that the FIB trie variant would not have. In order to accomodate this any such scheme, we need to be able to produce a full flow key at PMTU/redirect time. That required an adjustment of the interface call-sites used to propagate these events. For a PMTU/redirect with a fully specified socket, we pass that socket and use it to produce the flow key. Otherwise we use a passed in SKB to formulate the key. There are two cases that need to be distinguished, ICMP message processing (in which case the IP header is at skb->data) and output packet processing (mostly tunnels, and in all such cases the IP header is at ip_hdr(skb)). We also have to make the code able to handle the case where the dst itself passed into the dst_ops->{update_pmtu,redirect} method is invalidated. This matters for calls from sockets that have cached that route. We provide a inet{,6} helper function for this purpose, and edit SCTP specially since it caches routes at the transport rather than socket level. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-07-17net: Pass optional SKB and SK arguments to dst_ops->{update_pmtu,redirect}()David S. Miller
This will be used so that we can compose a full flow key. Even though we have a route in this context, we need more. In the future the routes will be without destination address, source address, etc. keying. One ipv4 route will cover entire subnets, etc. In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage for redirects and PMTU information. This persistent storage will exist in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a full lookup flow key here. Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup() and create/update the persistent entry. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-07-16ipv6: fix RTPROT_RA markup of RA routes w/nexthopsDenis Ovsienko
Userspace implementations of network routing protocols sometimes need to tell RA-originated IPv6 routes from other kernel routes to make proper routing decisions. This makes most sense for RA routes with nexthops, namely, default routes and Route Information routes. The intended mean of preserving RA route origin in a netlink message is through indicating RTPROT_RA as protocol code. Function rt6_fill_node() tried to do that for default routes, but its test condition was taken wrong. This change is modeled after the original mailing list posting by Jeff Haran. It fixes the test condition for default route case and sets the same behaviour for Route Information case (both types use nexthops). Handling of the 3rd RA route type, Prefix Information, is left unchanged, as it stands for interface connected routes (without nexthops).

2012-07-11tcp: TCP Small QueuesEric Dumazet
This introduce TSQ (TCP Small Queues) TSQ goal is to reduce number of TCP packets in xmit queues (qdisc & device queues), to reduce RTT and cwnd bias, part of the bufferbloat problem. sk->sk_wmem_alloc not allowed to grow above a given limit, allowing no more than ~128KB [1] per tcp socket in qdisc/dev layers at a given time. TSO packets are sized/capped to half the limit, so that we have two TSO packets in flight, allowing better bandwidth use. As a side effect, setting the limit to 40000 automatically reduces the standard gso max limit (65536) to 40000/2 : It can help to reduce latencies of high prio packets, having smaller TSO packets. This means we divert sock_wfree() to a tcp_wfree() handler, to queue/send following frames when skb_orphan() [2] is called for the already queued skbs. Results on my dev machines (tg3/ixgbe nics) are really impressive, using standard pfifo_fast, and with or without TSO/GSO. Without reduction of nominal bandwidth, we have reduction of buffering per bulk sender : < 1ms on Gbit (instead of 50ms with TSO) < 8ms on 100Mbit (instead of 132 ms) I no longer have 4 MBytes backlogged in qdisc by a single netperf session, and both side socket autotuning no longer use 4 Mbytes. As skb destructor cannot restart xmit itself ( as qdisc lock might be taken at this point ), we delegate the work to a tasklet. We use one tasklest per cpu for performance reasons. If tasklet finds a socket owned by the user, it sets TSQ_OWNED flag. This flag is tested in a new protocol method called from release_sock(), to eventually send new segments. [1] New /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes tunable [2] skb_orphan() is usually called at TX completion time, but some drivers call it in their start_xmit() handler. These drivers should at least use BQL, or else a single TCP session can still fill the whole NIC TX ring, since TSQ will have no effect.
