* dccp: Initialisation and type-checking of feature sysctlsGerrit Renker2009-01-211-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch takes care of initialising and type-checking sysctls related to feature negotiation. Type checking is important since some of the sysctls now directly impact the feature-negotiation process. The sysctls are initialised with the known default values for each feature. For the type-checking the value constraints from RFC 4340 are used: * Sequence Window uses the specified Wmin=32, the maximum is ulong (4 bytes), tested and confirmed that it works up to 4294967295 - for Gbps speed; * Ack Ratio is between 0 .. 0xffff (2-byte unsigned integer); * CCIDs are between 0 .. 255; * request_retries, retries1, retries2 also between 0..255 for good measure; * tx_qlen is checked to be non-negative; * sync_ratelimit remains as before. Notes: ------ 1. Die s@sysctl_dccp_feat@sysctl_dccp@g since the sysctls are now in feat.c. 2. As pointed out by Arnaldo, the pattern of type-checking repeats itself in other places, sometimes with exactly the same kind of definitions (e.g. "static int zero;"). It may be a good idea (kernel janitors?) to consolidate type checking. For the sake of keeping the changeset small and in order not to affect other subsystems, I have not strived to generalise here.

* dccp: Implement both feature-local and feature-remote Sequence Window featureGerrit Renker2009-01-211-20/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds full support for local/remote Sequence Window feature, from which the * sequence-number-validity (W) and * acknowledgment-number-validity (W') windows derive as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.3. Specifically, the following is contained in this patch: * integrated new socket fields into dccp_sk; * updated the update_gsr/gss routines with regard to these fields; * updated handler code: the Sequence Window feature is located at the TX side, so the local feature is meant if the handler-rx flag is false; * the initialisation of `rcv_wnd' in reqsk is removed, since - rcv_wnd is not used by the code anywhere; - sequence number checks are not done in the LISTEN state (cf. 7.5.3); - dccp_check_req checks the Ack number validity more rigorously; * the `struct dccp_minisock' became empty and is now removed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This initialises feature negotiation from two tables, which are in turn are initialised from sysctls. As a novel feature, specifics of the implementation (e.g. that short seqnos and ECN are not yet available) are advertised for robustness.

* dccp ccid-2: Phase out the use of boolean Ack Vector sysctlGerrit Renker2008-12-081-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the use of the sysctl and the minisock variable for the Send Ack Vector feature, as it now is handled fully dynamically via feature negotiation (i.e. when CCID-2 is enabled, Ack Vectors are automatically enabled as per RFC 4341, 4.). Using a sysctl in parallel to this implementation would open the door to crashes, since much of the code relies on tests of the boolean minisock / sysctl variable. Thus, this patch replaces all tests of type if (dccp_msk(sk)->dccpms_send_ack_vector) /* ... */ with if (dp->dccps_hc_rx_ackvec != NULL) /* ... */ The dccps_hc_rx_ackvec is allocated by the dccp_hdlr_ackvec() when feature negotiation concluded that Ack Vectors are to be used on the half-connection. Otherwise, it is NULL (due to dccp_init_sock/dccp_create_openreq_child), so that the test is a valid one. The activation handler for Ack Vectors is called as soon as the feature negotiation has concluded at the * server when the Ack marking the transition RESPOND => OPEN arrives; * client after it has sent its ACK, marking the transition REQUEST => PARTOPEN. Adding the sequence number of the Response packet to the Ack Vector has been removed, since (a) connection establishment implies that the Response has been received; (b) the CCIDs only look at packets received in the (PART)OPEN state, i.e. this entry will always be ignored; (c) it can not be used for anything useful - to detect loss for instance, only packets received after the loss can serve as pseudo-dupacks. There was a FIXME to change the error code when dccp_ackvec_add() fails. I removed this after finding out that: * the check whether ackno < ISN is already made earlier, * this Response is likely the 1st packet with an Ackno that the client gets, * so when dccp_ackvec_add() fails, the reason is likely not a packet error.

* dccp: Remove manual influence on NDP Count featureGerrit Renker2008-12-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now: * for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts; * for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths. Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they are needed (e.g. in CCID-3). This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking), hence this form of support is redundant. At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature uses the default value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when it is allocated. If the choice of CCID or feature negotiation enables NDP count, this will then be updated via the NDP activation handler.

* dccp: Remove obsolete parts of the old CCID interfaceGerrit Renker2008-12-081-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of feature negotiation may be something different. The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs. Also removed are the constructors for the TX CCID and the RX CCID, since the switch "rx <-> non-rx" is done by the handler in minisocks.c (and the handler is the only place in the code where CCIDs are loaded).

* dccp: Deprecate Ack Ratio sysctlGerrit Renker2008-11-161-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch deprecates the Ack Ratio sysctl, since * Ack Ratio is entirely ignored by CCID-3 and CCID-4, * Ack Ratio currently doesn't work in CCID-2 (i.e. is always set to 1); * even if it would work in CCID-2, there is no point for a user to change it: - Ack Ratio is constrained by cwnd (RFC 4341, 6.1.2), - if Ack Ratio > cwnd, the system resorts to spurious RTO timeouts (since waiting for Acks which will never arrive in this window), - cwnd is not a user-configurable value. The only reasonable place for Ack Ratio is to print it for debugging. It is planned to do this later on, as part of e.g. dccp_probe. With this patch Ack Ratio is now under full control of feature negotiation: * Ack Ratio is resolved as a dependency of the selected CCID; * if the chosen CCID supports it (i.e. CCID == CCID-2), Ack Ratio is set to the default of 2, following RFC 4340, 11.3 - "New connections start with Ack Ratio 2 for both endpoints"; * what happens then is part of another patch set, since it concerns the dynamic update of Ack Ratio while the connection is in full flight.

* dccp: Feature negotiation for minimum-checksum-coverageGerrit Renker2008-11-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides feature negotiation for server minimum checksum coverage which so far has been missing. Since sender/receiver coverage values range only from 0...15, their type has also been reduced in size from u16 to u4. Feature-negotiation options are now generated for both sender and receiver coverage, i.e. when the peer has `forgotten' to enable partial coverage then feature negotiation will automatically enable (negotiate) the partial coverage value for this connection.

* dccp: Deprecate old setsockopt frameworkGerrit Renker2008-11-161-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous setsockopt interface, which passed socket options via struct dccp_so_feat, is complicated/difficult to use. Continuing to support it leads to ugly code since the old approach did not distinguish between NN and SP values. This patch removes the old setsockopt interface and replaces it with two new functions to register NN/SP values for feature negotiation. These are essentially wrappers around the internal __feat_register functions, with checking added to avoid * wrong usage (type); * changing values while the connection is in progress.

* dccp: Query supported CCIDsGerrit Renker2008-11-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported and three accessor functions: - a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests made by the user; - a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation; - documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities. The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices). Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.

* [DCCP]: Handle timestamps on Request/Response exchange separatelyGerrit Renker2008-01-281-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In DCCP, timestamps can occur on packets anytime, CCID3 uses a timestamp(/echo) on the Request/Response exchange. This patch addresses the following situation: * timestamps are recorded on the listening socket; * Responses are sent from dccp_request_sockets; * suppose two connections reach the listening socket with very small time in between: * the first timestamp value gets overwritten by the second connection request. This is not really good, so this patch separates timestamps into * those which are received by the server during the initial handshake (on dccp_request_sock); * those which are received by the client or the client after connection establishment. As before, a timestamp of 0 is regarded as indicating that no (meaningful) timestamp has been received (in addition, a warning message is printed if hosts send 0-valued timestamps). The timestamp-echoing now works as follows: * when a timestamp is present on the initial Request, it is placed into dreq, due to the call to dccp_parse_options in dccp_v{4,6}_conn_request; * when a timestamp is present on the Ack leading from RESPOND => OPEN, it is copied over from the request_sock into the child cocket in dccp_create_openreq_child; * timestamps received on an (established) dccp_sock are treated as before. Since Elapsed Time is measured in hundredths of milliseconds (13.2), the new dccp_timestamp() function is used, as it is expected that the time between receiving the timestamp and sending the timestamp echo will be very small against the wrap-around time. As a byproduct, this allows smaller timestamping-time fields. Furthermore, inserting the Timestamp Echo option has been taken out of the block starting with '!dccp_packet_without_ack()', since Timestamp Echo can be carried on any packet (5.8 and 13.3).

* [DCCP]: Allow to parse options on Request SocketsGerrit Renker2008-01-281-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The option parsing code currently only parses on full sk's. This causes a problem for options sent during the initial handshake (in particular timestamps and feature-negotiation options). Therefore, this patch extends the option parsing code with an additional argument for request_socks: if it is non-NULL, options are parsed on the request socket, otherwise the normal path (parsing on the sk) is used. Subsequent patches, which implement feature negotiation during connection setup, make use of this facility.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3. Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled via a socket option. Documentation for this socket option has been added. The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.

* [DCCP]: Integrate state transitions for passive-closeGerrit Renker2008-01-281-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the necessary state transitions for the two forms of passive-close * PASSIVE_CLOSE - which is entered when a host receives a Close; * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ - which is entered when a client receives a CloseReq. Here is a detailed account of what the patch does in each state. 1) Receiving CloseReq The pseudo-code in 8.5 says: Step 13: Process CloseReq If P.type == CloseReq and S.state < CLOSEREQ, Generate Close S.state := CLOSING Set CLOSING timer. This means we need to address what to do in CLOSED, LISTEN, REQUEST, RESPOND, PARTOPEN, and OPEN. * CLOSED: silently ignore - it may be a late or duplicate CloseReq; * LISTEN/RESPOND: will not appear, since Step 7 is performed first (we know we are the client); * REQUEST: perform Step 13 directly (no need to enqueue packet); * OPEN/PARTOPEN: enter PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ so that the application has a chance to process unread data. When already in PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ, no second CloseReq is enqueued. In any other state, the CloseReq is ignored. I think that this offers some robustness against rare and pathological cases: e.g. a simultaneous close where the client sends a Close and the server a CloseReq. The client will then be retransmitting its Close until it gets the Reset, so ignoring the CloseReq while in state CLOSING is sane. 2) Receiving Close The code below from 8.5 is unconditional. Step 14: Process Close If P.type == Close, Generate Reset(Closed) Tear down connection Drop packet and return Thus we need to consider all states: * CLOSED: silently ignore, since this can happen when a retransmitted or late Close arrives; * LISTEN: dccp_rcv_state_process() will generate a Reset ("No Connection"); * REQUEST: perform Step 14 directly (no need to enqueue packet); * RESPOND: dccp_check_req() will generate a Reset ("Packet Error") -- left it at that; * OPEN/PARTOPEN: enter PASSIVE_CLOSE so that application has a chance to process unread data; * CLOSEREQ: server performed active-close -- perform Step 14; * CLOSING: simultaneous-close: use a tie-breaker to avoid message ping-pong (see comment); * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ: ignore - the peer has a bug (sending first a CloseReq and now a Close); * TIMEWAIT: packet is ignored. Note that the condition of receiving a packet in state CLOSED here is different from the condition "there is no socket for such a connection": the socket still exists, but its state indicates it is unusable. Last, dccp_finish_passive_close sets either DCCP_CLOSED or DCCP_CLOSING = TCP_CLOSING, so that sk_stream_wait_close() will wait for the final Reset (which will trigger CLOSING => CLOSED).

* [DCCP]: Dedicated auxiliary states to support passive-closeGerrit Renker2008-01-281-17/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds two auxiliary states to deal with passive closes: * PASSIVE_CLOSE (reached from OPEN via reception of Close) and * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ (reached from OPEN via reception of CloseReq) as internal intermediate states. These states are used to allow a receiver to process unread data before acknowledging the received connection-termination-request (the Close/CloseReq). Without such support, it will happen that passively-closed sockets enter CLOSED state while there is still unprocessed data in the queue; leading to unexpected and erratic API behaviour. PASSIVE_CLOSE has been mapped into TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT, so that the code will seamlessly work with inet_accept() (which tests for this state). The state names are thanks to Arnaldo, who suggested this naming scheme following an earlier revision of this patch.

* [DCCP]: Rate-limit DCCP-SyncsGerrit Renker2007-10-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4: "To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets, such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second." The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and protects against attacks with forged source addresses. Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets are not supported. This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.) In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended). The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo. Commiter note: Rate limited the step 6 DCCP_WARN too, as it says we're sending a sync.

* [DCCP]: Support for partial checksums (RFC 4340, sec. 9.2)Gerrit Renker2006-12-021-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch does the following: a) introduces variable-length checksums as specified in [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2] b) provides necessary socket options and documentation as to how to use them c) basic support and infrastructure for the Minimum Checksum Coverage feature [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2.1]: acceptability tests, user notification and user interface In addition, it (1) fixes two bugs in the DCCPv4 checksum computation: * pseudo-header used checksum_len instead of skb->len * incorrect checksum coverage calculation based on dccph_x (2) removes dccp_v4_verify_checksum() since it reduplicates code of the checksum computation; code calling this function is updated accordingly. (3) now uses skb_checksum(), which is safer than checksum_partial() if the sk_buff has is a non-linear buffer (has pages attached to it). (4) fixes an outstanding TODO item: * If P.CsCov is too large for the packet size, drop packet and return. The code has been tested with applications, the latest version of tcpdump now comes with support for partial DCCP checksums.

* [DCCP]: Allow default/fallback service code.Gerrit Renker2006-09-241-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This has been discussed on dccp@vger and removes the necessity for applications to supply service codes in each and every case. If an application does not want to provide a service code, that's fine, it will be given 0. Otherwise, service codes can be set via socket options as before. This patch has been tested using various client/server configurations (including listening on multiple service codes).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will later be included in struct dccp_request_sock so that we can have per connection feature negotiation state while in the 3way handshake, when we clone the DCCP_ROLE_LISTEN socket (in dccp_create_openreq_child) we'll just copy this state from dreq_minisock to dccps_minisock. Also the feature negotiation and option parsing code will mostly touch dccps_minisock, which will simplify some stuff.

* [DCCP] CCID: Improve CCID infrastructureArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2006-03-201-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. No need for ->ccid_init nor ->ccid_exit, this is what module_{init,exit} does and anynways neither ccid2 nor ccid3 were using it. 2. Rename struct ccid to struct ccid_operations and introduce struct ccid with a pointer to ccid_operations and rigth after it the rx or tx private state. 3. Remove the pointer to the state of the half connections from struct dccp_sock, now its derived thru ccid_priv() from the ccid pointer. Now we also can implement the setsockopt for changing the CCID easily as no ccid init routines can affect struct dccp_sock in any way that prevents other CCIDs from working if a CCID switch operation is asked by apps.
