2020-07-13dccp: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS onesAlexander A. Klimov
Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2008-09-04dccp ccid-3: Preventing OscillationsGerrit Renker
This implements [RFC 3448, 4.5], which performs congestion avoidance behaviour by reducing the transmit rate as the queueing delay (measured in terms of long-term RTT) increases. Oscillation can be turned on/off via a module option (do_osc_prev) and via sysfs (using mode 0644), the default is off. Overflow analysis: ------------------ * oscillation prevention is done after update_x(), so that t_ipi <= 64000; * hence the multiplication "t_ipi * sqrt(R_sample)" needs 64 bits; * done using u64 for sqrt_sample and explicit typecast of t_ipi; * the divisor, R_sqmean, is non-zero because oscillation prevention is first called when receiving the second feedback packet, and tfrc_scaled_rtt() > 0. A detailed discussion of the algorithm (with plots) is on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/ccid3/sender_notes/oscillation_prevention/ The algorithm has negative side effects: * when allowing to decrease t_ipi (leads to a large RTT) and * when using it during slow-start; both uses are therefore disabled.

2008-09-04dccp ccid-3: Update the RX history records in one placeGerrit Renker
This patch is a requirement for enabling ECN support later on. With that change in mind, the following preparations are done: * renamed handle_loss() into congestion_event() since it returns true when a congestion event happens (it will eventually also take care of ECN packets); * lets tfrc_rx_congestion_event() always update the RX history records, since this routine needs to be called for each non-duplicate packet anyway; * made all involved boolean-type functions to have return type `bool'; Updating the RX history records is now only necessary for the packets received up to sending the first feedback. The receiver code becomes again simpler. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp ccid-3: Update the computation of X_recvGerrit Renker
This updates the computation of X_recv with regard to Errata 610/611 for RFC 4342 and draft rfc3448bis-06, ensuring that at least an interval of 1 RTT is used to compute X_recv. The change is wrapped into a new function ccid3_hc_rx_x_recv(). Further changes: ---------------- * feedback is not sent when no data packets arrived (bytes_recv == 0), as per rfc3448bis-06, 6.2; * take the timestamp for the feedback /after/ dccp_send_ack() returns, to avoid taking the transmission time into account (in case layer-2 is busy); * clearer handling of failure in ccid3_first_li(). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Increase number of RTT samplesGerrit Renker
This improves the receiver RTT sampling algorithm so that it tries harder to get as many RTT samples as possible. The algorithm is based the concepts presented in RFC 4340, 8.1, using timestamps and the CCVal window counter. There exist 4 cases for the CCVal difference: * == 0: less than RTT/4 passed since last packet -- unusable; * > 4: (much) more than 1 RTT has passed since last packet -- also unusable; * == 4: perfect sample (exactly one RTT has passed since last packet); * 1..3: sub-optimal sample (between RTT/4 and 3*RTT/4 has passed). In the last case the algorithm tried to optimise by storing away the candidate and then re-trying next time. The problem is that * a large number of samples is needed to smooth out the inaccuracies of the algorithm; * the sender may not be sending enough packets to warrant a "next time"; * hence it is better to use suboptimal samples whenever possible. The algorithm now stores away the current sample only if the difference is 0. Applicability and background ---------------------------- A realistic example is MP3 streaming where packets are sent at a rate of less than one packet per RTT, which means that suitable samples are absent for a very long time. The effectiveness of using suboptimal samples (with a delta between 1 and 4) was confirmed by instrumenting the algorithm with counters. The results of two 20 second test runs were: * With the old algorithm and a total of 38442 function calls, only 394 of these calls resulted in usable RTT samples (about 1%), and 378 out of these were "perfect" samples and 28013 (unused) samples had a delta of 1..3. * With the new algorithm and a total of 37057 function calls, 1702 usable RTT samples were retrieved (about 4.6%), 5 out of these were "perfect" samples.

2008-09-04dccp ccid-3: Always perform receiver RTT samplingGerrit Renker
This updates the CCID-3 receiver in part with regard to errata 610 and 611 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_list.php), which change RFC 4342 to use the Receive Rate as specified in rfc3448bis, requiring to constantly sample the RTT (or use a sender RTT). Doing this requires reusing the RX history structure after dealing with a loss. The patch does not resolve how to compute X_recv if the interval is less than 1 RTT. A FIXME has been added (and is resolved in subsequent patch). Furthermore, since this is all TFRC-based functionality, the RTT estimation is now also performed by the dccp_tfrc_lib module. This further simplifies the CCID-3 code. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Let dccp_tfrc_lib do the sampling workGerrit Renker
This migrates more TFRC-related code into the dccp_tfrc_lib: * sampling of the packet size `s' (which is only needed until the first loss interval is computed (ccid3_first_li)); * updating the byte-counter `bytes_recvd' in between sending feedbacks. The result is a better separation of CCID-3 specific and TFRC specific code, which aids future integration with ECN and e.g. CCID-4. Further changes: ---------------- * replaced magic number of 536 with equivalent constant TCP_MIN_RCVMSS; (this constant is also used when no estimate for `s' is available). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Return type of update_i_mean is voidGerrit Renker
This changes the return type of tfrc_lh_update_i_mean() to void, since that function returns always `false'. This is due to len = dccp_delta_seqno(cur->li_seqno, DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_seq) + 1; if (len - (s64)cur->li_length <= 0) /* duplicate or reordered */ return 0; which means that update_i_mean can only increase the length of the open loss interval I_0, and hence the value of I_tot0 (RFC 3448, 5.4). Consequently the test `i_mean < old_i_mean' at the end of the function always evaluates to false. There is no known way by which a loss interval can suddenly become shorter, therefore the return type of the function is changed to void. (That is, under the given circumstances step (3) in RFC 3448, 6.1 will not occur.) Further changes: ---------------- * the function is now called from tfrc_rx_handle_loss, which is equivalent to the previous way of calling from rx_packet_recv (it was called whenever there was no new or pending loss, now it is also updated when there is a pending loss - this increases the accuracy a bit); * added a FIXME to possibly consider NDP counting as per RFC 4342 (this is not implemented yet). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Perform early loss detectionGerrit Renker
This enables the TFRC code to begin loss detection (as soon as the module is loaded), using the latest updates from rfc3448bis-06, 6.3.1: * when the first data packet(s) are lost or marked, set * X_target = s/(2*R) => f(p) = s/(R * X_target) = 2, * corresponding to a loss rate of ~ 20.64%. The handle_loss() function is now called right at the begin of rx_packet_recv() and thus no longer protected against duplicates: hence a call to rx_duplicate() has been added. Such a call makes sense now, as the previous patch initialises the first entry with a sequence number of GSR. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Receiver history initialisation routineGerrit Renker
This patch 1) separates history allocation and initialisation, to facilitate early loss detection (implemented by a subsequent patch); 2) removes duplication by using the existing tfrc_rx_hist_purge() if the allocation fails. This is now possible, since the initialisation routine 3) zeroes out the entire history before using it. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp tfrc: Suppress unavoidable "below resolution" warningGerrit Renker
In the congestion-avoidance phase a decay of p towards 0 is natural once fewer losses are encountered. Hence the warning message "p is below resolution" is not necessary, and thus turned into a debug message by this patch. The TFRC_SMALLEST_P is needed since in theory p never actually reaches 0. When no further losses are encountered, the loss interval I_0 grows in length, causing p to decrease towards 0, causing X_calc = s/(RTT * f(p)) to increase. With the given minimum-resolution this congestion avoidance phase stops at some fixed value, an approximation formula has been added to the documentation.

2008-09-04dccp tfrc/ccid-3: Computing Loss Rate from Loss Event RateGerrit Renker

In the last case, the minimum-resolution value of p is returned. Furthermore, a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed (1/0 was mapped into ~0U), which now allows to consistently print the scaled p-values as printf("Loss Event Rate = %u.%04u %%\n", rx_info.tfrcrx_p / 10000, rx_info.tfrcrx_p % 10000); Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

2008-09-04dccp: Toggle debug output without module unloadingGerrit Renker
This sets the sysfs permissions so that root can toggle the `debug' parameter available for nearly every DCCP module. This is useful since there are various module inter-dependencies. The debug flag can now be toggled at runtime using echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp/parameters/dccp_debug echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_ccid2/parameters/ccid2_debug echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_ccid3/parameters/ccid3_debug echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_tfrc_lib/parameters/tfrc_debug The last is not very useful yet, since no code at the moment calls the tfrc_debug() macro.

2008-07-13dccp ccid-3: Length of loss intervalsGerrit Renker
This corrects an error in the computation of the open loss interval I_0: * the interval length is (highest_seqno - start_seqno) + 1 * and not (highest_seqno - start_seqno). This condition was not fully clear in RFC 3448, but reflects the current revision state of rfc3448bis and is also consistent with RFC 4340, 6.1.1. Further changes: ---------------- * variable renamed due to line length constraints; * explicit typecast to `s64' to avoid implicit signed/unsigned casting.

2008-07-13dccp ccid-3: Fix a loss detection bugGerrit Renker
This fixes a bug in the logic of the TFRC loss detection: * new_loss_indicated() should not be called while a loss is pending; * but the code allows this; * thus, for two subsequent gaps in the sequence space, when loss_count has not yet reached NDUPACK=3, the loss_count is falsely reduced to 1. To avoid further and similar problems, all loss handling and loss detection is now done inside tfrc_rx_hist_handle_loss(), using an appropriate routine to track new losses. Further changes: ---------------- * added a reminder that no RX history operations should be performed when rx_handle_loss() has identified a (new) loss, since the function takes care of packet reordering during loss detection; * made tfrc_rx_hist_loss_pending() bool (thanks to an earlier suggestion by Arnaldo); * removed unused functions.

2008-07-13dccp: Upgrade NDP count from 3 to 6 bytesGerrit Renker
RFC 4340, 7.7 specifies up to 6 bytes for the NDP Count option, whereas the code is currently limited to up to 3 bytes. This seems to be a relict of an earlier draft version and is brought up to date by the patch. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-07-13dccp ccid-3: Fix error in loss detectionGerrit Renker
The TFRC loss detection code used the wrong loss condition (RFC 4340, 7.7.1): * the difference between sequence numbers s1 and s2 instead of * the number of packets missing between s1 and s2 (one less than the distance). Since this condition appears in many places of the code, it has been put into a separate function, dccp_loss_free(). Further changes: ---------------- * tidied up incorrect typing (it was using `int' for u64/s64 types); * optimised conditional statements for common case of non-reordered packets; * rewrote comments/documentation to match the changes.

2008-06-11dccp ccid-3: X truncated due to type conversionGerrit Renker
This fixes a bug in computing the inter-packet-interval t_ipi = s/X: scaled_div32(a, b) uses u32 for b, but in "scaled_div32(s, X)" the type of the sending rate `X' is u64. Since X is scaled by 2^6, this truncates rates greater than 2^26 Bps (~537 Mbps). Using full 64-bit division now. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-06-11dccp ccid-3: TFRC reverse-lookup Bug-FixGerrit Renker
This fixes a bug in the reverse lookup of p: given a value f(p), instead of p, the function returned the smallest tabulated value f(p). The smallest tabulated value of 10^6 * f(p) = sqrt(2*p/3) + 12 * sqrt(3*p/8) * (32 * p^3 + p) for p=0.0001 is 8172. Since this value is scaled by 10^6, the outcome of this bug is that a loss of 8172/10^6 = 0.8172% was reported whenever the input was below the table resolution of 0.01%. This means that the value was over 80 times too high, resulting in large spikes of the initial loss interval, thus unnecessarily reducing the throughput. Also corrected the printk format (%u for u32). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-06-11dccp: Fix sparse warningsGerrit Renker
This patch fixes the following sparse warnings: * nested min(max()) expression: net/dccp/ccids/ccid3.c:91:21: warning: symbol '__x' shadows an earlier one net/dccp/ccids/ccid3.c:91:21: warning: symbol '__y' shadows an earlier one * Declaration of function prototypes in .c instead of .h file, resulting in "should it be static?" warnings. * Declared "struct dccpw" static (local to dccp_probe). * Disabled dccp_delayed_ack() - not fully removed due to RFC 4340, 11.3 ("Receivers SHOULD implement delayed acknowledgement timers ..."). * Used a different local variable name to avoid net/dccp/ackvec.c:293:13: warning: symbol 'state' shadows an earlier one net/dccp/ackvec.c:238:33: originally declared here * Removed unused functions `dccp_ackvector_print' and `dccp_ackvec_print'.

2008-01-28[CCID3]: Interface CCID3 code with newer Loss Intervals DatabaseGerrit Renker
This hooks up the TFRC Loss Interval database with CCID 3 packet reception. In addition, it makes the CCID-specific computation of the first loss interval (which requires access to all the guts of CCID3) local to ccid3.c. The patch also fixes an omission in the DCCP code, that of a default / fallback RTT value (defined in section 3.4 of RFC 4340 as 0.2 sec); while at it, the upper bound of 4 seconds for an RTT sample has been reduced to match the initial TCP RTO value of 3 seconds from[RFC 1122, 4.2.3.1].

2008-01-28[TFRC]: Ringbuffer to track loss interval historyGerrit Renker
A ringbuffer-based implementation of loss interval history is easier to maintain, allocate, and update. The `swap' routine to keep the RX history sorted is due to and was written by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, simplifying an earlier macro-based variant. Details: * access to the Loss Interval Records via macro wrappers (with safety checks); * simplified, on-demand allocation of entries (no extra memory consumption on lossless links); cache allocation is local to the module / exported as service; * provision of RFC-compliant algorithm to re-compute average loss interval; * provision of comprehensive, new loss detection algorithm - support for all cases of loss, including re-ordered/duplicate packets; - waiting for NDUPACK=3 packets to fill the hole; - updating loss records when a late-arriving packet fills a hole.

2008-01-28[TFRC]: Loss interval code needs the macros/inlines that were movedGerrit Renker
This moves the inlines (which were previously declared as macros) back into packet_history.h since the loss detection code needs to be able to read entries from the RX history in order to create the relevant loss entries: it needs at least tfrc_rx_hist_loss_prev() and tfrc_rx_hist_last_rcv(), which in turn require the definition of the other inlines (macros).

2008-01-28[TFRC]: New rx history codeArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Credit here goes to Gerrit Renker, that provided the initial implementation for this new codebase. I modified it just to try to make it closer to the existing API, renaming some functions, add namespacing and fix one bug where the tfrc_rx_hist_alloc was not freeing the allocated ring entries on the error path. Original changeset comment from Gerrit: ----------- This provides a new, self-contained and generic RX history service for TFRC based protocols. Details: * new data structure, initialisation and cleanup routines; * allocation of dccp_rx_hist entries local to packet_history.c, as a service exported by the dccp_tfrc_lib module. * interface to automatically track highest-received seqno; * receiver-based RTT estimation (needed for instance by RFC 3448, 6.3.1); * a generic function to test for `data packets' as per RFC 4340, sec. 7.7.
