* dccp: Do not let initial option overhead shrink the MPSGerrit Renker2009-03-022-2/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a problem caused by the overlap of the connection-setup and established-state phases of DCCP connections. During connection setup, the client retransmits Confirm Feature-Negotiation options until a response from the server signals that it can move from the half-established PARTOPEN into the OPEN state, whereupon the connection is fully established on both ends (RFC 4340, 8.1.5). However, since the client may already send data while it is in the PARTOPEN state, consequences arise for the Maximum Packet Size: the problem is that the initial option overhead is much higher than for the subsequent established phase, as it involves potentially many variable-length list-type options (server-priority options, RFC 4340, 6.4). Applying the standard MPS is insufficient here: especially with larger payloads this can lead to annoying, counter-intuitive EMSGSIZE errors. On the other hand, reducing the MPS available for the established phase by the added initial overhead is highly wasteful and inefficient. The solution chosen therefore is a two-phase strategy: If the payload length of the DataAck in PARTOPEN is too large, an Ack is sent to carry the options, and the feature-negotiation list is then flushed. This means that the server gets two Acks for one Response. If both Acks get lost, it is probably better to restart the connection anyway and devising yet another special-case does not seem worth the extra complexity. The result is a higher utilisation of the available packet space for the data transmission phase (established state) of a connection. The patch (over-)estimates the initial overhead to be 32*4 bytes -- commonly seen values were around 90 bytes for initial feature-negotiation options. It uses sizeof(u32) to mean "aligned units of 4 bytes". For consistency, another use of 4-byte alignment is adapted. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

* dccp: Minimise header option overhead in setting the MPSGerrit Renker2009-03-022-8/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch resolves a long-standing FIXME to dynamically update the Maximum Packet Size depending on actual options usage. It uses the flags set by the feature-negotiation infrastructure to compute the required header option size. Most options are fixed-size, a notable exception are Ack Vectors (required currently only by CCID-2). These can have any length between 3 and 1020 bytes. As a result of testing, 16 bytes (2 bytes for type/length plus 14 Ack Vector cells) have been found to be sufficient for loss-free situations. There are currently no CCID-specific header options which may appear on data packets, thus it is not necessary to define a corresponding CCID field as suggested in the old comment. Further changes: ---------------- Adjusted the type of 'cur_mps' to match the unsigned return type of the function.

* dccp: Initialisation and type-checking of feature sysctlsGerrit Renker2009-01-215-23/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Renker2009-01-214-24/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* dccp ccid-2: Phase out the use of boolean Ack Vector sysctlGerrit Renker2008-12-087-27/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Renker2008-12-085-13/+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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This integrates feature-activation in the client: 1. When dccp_parse_options() fails, the reset code is already set; request_sent\ _state_process() currently overrides this with `Packet Error', which is not intended - changed to use the reset code supplied by dccp_parse_options(). 2. When feature negotiation fails, the socket should be marked as not usable, so that the application is notified that an error occurred. This is achieved by a new label 'unable_to_proceed': generating an error code of `Aborted', setting the socket state to CLOSED, returning with ECOMM in sk_err. 3. Avoids parsing the Ack twice in Respond state by not doing option processing again in dccp_rcv_respond_partopen_state_process (as option processing has already been done on the request_sock in dccp_check_req). Since this addresses congestion-control initialisation, a corresponding FIXME has been removed.

The patch also ensures that the client feature-negotiation queue is flushed only when entering the OPEN state.

Note on retransmitting Confirm options: --------------------------------------- Implementation experience showed that it is necessary to retransmit Confirm options. Thanks to Leandro Melo de Sales who reported a bug in an earlier revision of the patch set, resulting from not retransmitting these options. As long as the client is in PARTOPEN, it needs to retransmit the Confirm options for the Change options received on the DCCP-Response from the server. Otherwise, if the packet containing the Confirm options gets dropped in the network, the connection aborts due to undefined feature negotiation state.

* dccp: API to query the current TX/RX CCIDGerrit Renker2008-11-233-5/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides function to query the current TX/RX CCID dynamically, without reliance on the minisock value, using dynamic information available in the currently loaded CCID module. This query function is then used to (a) provide the getsockopt part for getting/setting CCIDs via sockopts; (b) replace the current test for "which CCID is in use" in probe.c.

* dccp: Tidy up setsockopt callsGerrit Renker2008-11-161-11/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This splits the setsockopt calls into two groups, depending on whether an integer argument (val) is required and whether routines being called do their own locking. Some options (such as setting the CCID) use u8 rather than int, so that for these the test with regard to integer-sizeof can not be used. The second switch-case statement now only has those statements which need locking and which make use of `val'.

* dccp: Deprecate Ack Ratio sysctlGerrit Renker2008-11-164-10/+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 Renker2008-11-161-13/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Renker2008-11-163-98/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

It is done at the server since it can only be done after the CCID values have been negotiated; i.e. the client will add its CCID preference list on the Change options sent in the Request, which will be reconciled with the local preference list of the server.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure : - sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the price of call_rcu() at freeing time. - hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers. This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established and timewait sockets. Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case. __inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock) Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU (bind table and listen table are still using traditional locking) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* dccp: Resolve dependencies of features on choice of CCIDGerrit Renker2008-11-124-0/+168
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of). For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows: * since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection; * a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4); * for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment in the source code. An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature, since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option, as it is used by the CCID3 code. Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID. The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has made all other registrations for changing default values of features. The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0' is used to mark the end of the table.

* dccp: Query supported CCIDsGerrit Renker2008-11-124-0/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch limits feature (capability) negotation to the connection setup phase: 1. Although it is theoretically possible to perform feature negotiation at any time (and RFC 4340 supports this), in practice this is prohibitively complex, as it requires to put traffic on hold for each new negotiation. 2. As a byproduct of restricting feature negotiation to connection setup, the feature-negotiation retransmit timer is no longer required. This part is now mapped onto the protocol-level retransmission. Details indicating why timers are no longer needed can be found on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/feature_negotiation/\ implementation_notes.html This patch disables anytime negotiation, subsequent patches work out full feature negotiation support for connection setup.
