It was a dark and stormy night when Steve first saw the
netpoll beast. The beast was odd, and misshapen but not
extremely ugly.
"Let me take off one of your warts" he said. This wart
is where you tried to make an skb list yourself. If the
beast had ever run out of memory, he would have stupefied
himself unnecessarily.
The first try was painful, so he tried again till the bleeding
stopped. And again, and again...

Do not traverse the list of ack vector records [proportional to window size]
when we know we will not find what we are looking for. This is especially
useful because ack vectors are checked twice:
1) Upon parsing of options.
2) Upon notification of a new ack.
All of the work will occur during check #1. Therefore, when check #2 is
performed, no new work will be done. This is now "detected" and there is no
performance hit when doing #2.

This patch does not change code; it performs some trivial clean/tidy-ups:
* removal of a `debug_prefix' string in favour of the
already existing dccp_role(sk)
* add documentation of structures and constants
* separated out the cases for invalid packets (step 1
of the packet validation)
* removing duplicate statements
* combining declaration & initialisation

This patch replaces cryptic feature negotiation messages of type

Oct 31 15:42:21 kernel: dccp_feat_change: feat change type=34 feat=1
Oct 31 15:42:21 kernel: dccp_feat_change: feat change type=32 feat=5
into ones of type:
Nov 2 13:54:45 kernel: dccp_feat_change: ChangeL(CCID (1), 3)
Nov 2 13:54:45 kernel: dccp_feat_change: ChangeR(CCID (1), 3)
Nov 2 13:54:45 kernel: dccp_feat_change: ChangeL(Ack Ratio (5), 2)
Also,
* completed the feature number list wrt RFC 4340 sec. 6.4
* annotating which ones have been implemented so far
* implemented rudimentary sanity checking in feat.c (FIXMEs)
* some minor fixes
Commiter note: uninlined dccp_feat_name and dccp_feat_typename, for
consistency with dccp_{state,packet}_name, that, BTW,
should be compiled only if CONFIG_IP_DCCP_DEBUG is
selected, leaving this to another cset tho. Also
shortened dccp_feat_negotiation_debug to dccp_feat_debug.

Resolves the problem that if IPv6 was configured `y' and DCCP `m' then
dccp_ipv6 was not built as a module. With this change, dccp_ipv6 is built
as a module whenever DCCP *OR* IPv6 are configured as modules; it will be
built-in only if both DCCP = `y' and IPV6 = `y'.

Throughout the TCP/DCCP (and tunnelling) code, it often happens that the
return code of a transmit function needs to be tested against NET_XMIT_CN
which is a value that does not indicate a strict error condition.
This patch uses a macro for these recurring situations which is consistent
with the already existing macro net_xmit_errno, saving on duplicated code.

This patch implements SELinux kernel support for DCCP
(http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/DCCP), which is similar in
operation to TCP in terms of connected state between peers.
The SELinux support for DCCP is thus modeled on existing handling of
TCP.
A new DCCP socket class is introduced, to allow protocol
differentation. The permissions for this class inherit all of the
socket permissions, as well as the current TCP permissions (node_bind,
name_bind etc). IPv4 and IPv6 are supported, although labeled
networking is not, at this stage.
Patches for SELinux userspace are at:
http://people.redhat.com/jmorris/selinux/dccp/user/
I've performed some basic testing, and it seems to be working as
expected. Adding policy support is similar to TCP, the only real
difference being that it's a different protocol.

This
* resolves a FIXME - DCCPv6 connections started all with
an initial sequence number of 1;
* provides a redirection `secure_dccpv6_sequence_number'
in case the init_sequence_v6 code should be updated later;
* concentrates the update of S.GAR into dccp_connect_init();
* removes a duplicate dccp_update_gss() in ipv4.c;
* uses inet->dport instead of usin->sin_port, due to the
following assignment in dccp_v4_connect():
inet->dport = usin->sin_port;

This patch removes the following redundancies:
1) The test skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6) in dccp_v6_init_sequence
is always true since
* dccp_v6_conn_request() is the only calling function
* dccp_v6_conn_request() redirects all skb's with ETH_P_IP to
dccp_v4_conn_request()
2) The first argument, `struct sock *sk', of dccp_v{4,6}_init_sequence()
is never used.
(This is similar for tcp_v{4,6}_init_sequence, an analogous patch has been
submitted to netdev and merged.)
By the way - are the `sport' / `dport' arguments in the right order?
I have made them consistent among calls but they seem to be in the
reverse order.

In order to make their function clearer and obtain a consistent naming
scheme to identify sysctls, all existing DCCP sysctls have been prefixed
with `sysctl_dccp', following the same convention as used by TCP.
Feature-specific sysctls retain the `feat' in the middle, although the
`default' has been dropped, since it is obvious from use.
Also removed a duplicate `dccp_feat_default_sequence_window' in ipv4.c.

This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control
packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation).
It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code.
The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised
not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values.
This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet.
Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit
the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries
(also a bit like in TCP).
Lastly, added documentation of all existing DCCP sysctls.

Problem:
|
|
This updates program documentation: spell out precise conditions about
which packets are eligible for retransmission (which is actually quite
hard to extract from RFC 4340).
It is based on the following table derived from RFC 4340:
+-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
| Type | Retransmit? | Remark |
+-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
| Request | in client-REQUEST state | sec. 8.1.1 |
| Response | NEVER | SHOULD NOT, 8.1.3 |
| Data | NEVER | unreliable protocol |
| Ack | possible in client-PARTOPEN | sec. 8.1.5 |
| DataAck | NEVER | unreliable protocol |
| CloseReq | only in server-CLOSEREQ state | MUST, sec. 8.3 |
| Close | in node-CLOSING state | MUST, sec. 8.3 |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Reset | only in response to other packets |
| Sync | only in response to sequence-invalid packets (7.5.4) |
| SyncAck | only in response to Sync packets |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
Hence the only packets eligible for retransmission are:
* Requests in client-REQUEST state (sec. 8.1.1)
* Acks in client-PARTOPEN state (sec. 8.1.5)
* CloseReq in server-CLOSEREQ state (sec. 8.3)
* Close in node-CLOSING state (sec. 8.3)
I had meant to put in a check for these types too, but have left that
for later.

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.

This patch removes two functions, the send_ack functions of request_sock,
which are not called/used by the DCCP code. It is correct that these
functions are not called, below is a justification why calling these

a DCCP protocol violation.

An alternate solution would be to make the digest a pointer, allocate
it in sctp_endpoint_init() and free it in sctp_endpoint_destroy().

net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c: In function 'sctp_unpack_cookie':
net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c:1358: warning: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type
The reason is that sctp_unpack_cookie() takes a const struct
sctp_endpoint and modifies the digest in it (digest being embedded in
the struct, not a pointer). Make digest a pointer to fix this
warning.

We currently allocate a fixed size (TCP_SYNQ_HSIZE=512) slots hash table for
each LISTEN socket, regardless of various parameters (listen backlog for
example)
On x86_64, this means order-1 allocations (might fail), even for 'small'
sockets, expecting few connections. On the contrary, a huge server wanting a
backlog of 50000 is slowed down a bit because of this fixed limit.
This patch makes the sizing of listen hash table a dynamic parameter,
depending of :
- net.core.somaxconn tunable (default is 128)
- net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog tunable (default : 256, 1024 or 128)
- backlog value given by user application (2nd parameter of listen())
For large allocations (bigger than PAGE_SIZE), we use vmalloc() instead of
kmalloc().
We still limit memory allocation with the two existing tunables (somaxconn &
tcp_max_syn_backlog). So for standard setups, this patch actually reduce RAM
usage.
