2016-02-09packet: tpacket_snd gso and checksum offloadWillem de Bruijn
Support socket option PACKET_VNET_HDR together with PACKET_TX_RING. When enabled, a struct virtio_net_hdr is expected to precede the data in the ring. The vnet option must be set before the ring is created. The implementation reuses the existing skb_copy_bits code that is used when dev->hard_header_len is non-zero. Move this ll_header check to before the skb alloc and combine it with a test for vnet_hdr->hdr_len. Allocate and copy the max of the two.

GSO packet headers must be stored in the linear skb segment. Move tpacket header parsing before sock_alloc_send_skb. The GSO follow-on patch will later increase the skb linear argument to sock_alloc_send_skb if needed for large packets. The header parsing code does not require an allocated skb, so is safe to move.

This change enables congestion control to update cwnd based on not only packet cumulatively acked but also packets delivered out-of-order.

2016-02-07tcp: new delivery accountingYuchung Cheng
This patch changes the accounting of how many packets are newly acked or sacked when the sender receives an ACK. The current approach basically computes newly_acked_sacked = (prior_packets - prior_sacked) - (tp->packets_out - tp->sacked_out) where prior_packets and prior_sacked out are snapshot at the beginning of the ACK processing. The new approach tracks the delivery information via a new TCP state variable "delivered" which monotically increases as new packets are delivered in order or out-of-order. The reason for this change is that the current approach is brittle that produces negative or inaccurate estimate. 1) For non-SACK connections, an ACK that advances the SND.UNA could reset the DUPACK counters (tp->sacked_out) in tcp_process_loss() or tcp_fastretrans_alert(). This inflates the inflight suddenly and causes under-estimate or even negative estimate. Here is a real example: before after (processing ACK) packets_out 75 73 sacked_out 23 0 ca state Loss Open The old approach computes (75-23) - (73 - 0) = -21 delivered while the new approach computes 1 delivered since it considers the 2nd-24th packets are delivered OOO. 2) MSS change would re-count packets_out and sacked_out so the estimate is in-accurate and can even become negative. E.g., the inflight is doubled when MSS is halved. 3) Spurious retransmission signaled by DSACK is not accounted The new approach is simpler and more robust. For SACK connections, tp->delivered increments as packets are being acked or sacked in SACK and ACK processing. For non-sack connections, it's done in tcp_remove_reno_sacks() and tcp_add_reno_sack(). When an ACK advances the SND.UNA, tp->delivered is incremented by the number of packets ACKed (less the current number of DUPACKs received plus one packet hole). Upon receiving a DUPACK, tp->delivered is incremented assuming one out-of-order packet is delivered. Upon receiving a DSACK, tp->delivered is incremtened assuming one retransmission is delivered in tcp_sacktag_write_queue().

2016-02-07tcp: move cwnd reduction after recovery state procesingYuchung Cheng
Currently the cwnd is reduced and increased in various different places. The reduction happens in various places in the recovery state processing (tcp_fastretrans_alert) while the increase happens afterward. A better sequence is to identify lost packets and update the congestion control state (icsk_ca_state) first. Then base on the new state, up/down the cwnd in one central place.

Until now, tipc_rcv and tipc_send workqueues in server are allocated with parameters WQ_UNBOUND & max_active = 1. This parameters passed to this function makes it equivalent to alloc_ordered_workqueue(). The later form is more explicit and can inherit future ordered_workqueue changes.

2016-02-06tipc: protect tipc_subscrb_get() with subscriber spin lockParthasarathy Bhuvaragan
Until now, during subscription creation the mod_time() & tipc_subscrb_get() are called after releasing the subscriber spin lock. In a SMP system when performing a subscription creation, if the subscription timeout occurs simultaneously (the timer is scheduled to run on another CPU) then the timer thread might decrement the subscribers refcount before the create thread increments the refcount. This can be simulated by creating subscription with timeout=0 and sometimes the timeout occurs before the create request is complete. This leads to the following message: [30.702949] BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#1, kworker/u8:3/87 [30.703834] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP [30.704826] CPU: 1 PID: 87 Comm: kworker/u8:3 Not tainted 4.4.0-rc8+ #18 [30.704826] Workqueue: tipc_rcv tipc_recv_work [tipc] [30.704826] task: ffff88003f878600 ti: ffff88003fae0000 task.ti: ffff88003fae0000 [30.704826] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8109196c>] [<ffffffff8109196c>] spin_dump+0x5c/0xe0 [...] [30.704826] Call Trace: [30.704826] [<ffffffff81091a16>] spin_bug+0x26/0x30 [30.704826] [<ffffffff81091b75>] do_raw_spin_lock+0xe5/0x120 [30.704826] [<ffffffff81684439>] _raw_spin_lock_bh+0x19/0x20 [30.704826] [<ffffffffa0096f10>] tipc_subscrb_rcv_cb+0x1d0/0x330 [tipc] [30.704826] [<ffffffffa00a37b1>] tipc_receive_from_sock+0xc1/0x150 [tipc] [30.704826] [<ffffffffa00a31df>] tipc_recv_work+0x3f/0x80 [tipc] [30.704826] [<ffffffff8106a739>] process_one_work+0x149/0x3c0 [30.704826] [<ffffffff8106aa16>] worker_thread+0x66/0x460 [30.704826] [<ffffffff8106a9b0>] ? process_one_work+0x3c0/0x3c0 [30.704826] [<ffffffff8106a9b0>] ? process_one_work+0x3c0/0x3c0 [30.704826] [<ffffffff8107029d>] kthread+0xed/0x110 [30.704826] [<ffffffff810701b0>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x190/0x190 [30.704826] [<ffffffff81684bdf>] ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70 In this commit, 1. we remove the check for the return code for mod_timer() 2. we protect tipc_subscrb_get() using the subscriber spin lock.

2016-02-06tipc: hold subscriber->lock for tipc_nametbl_subscribe()Parthasarathy Bhuvaragan
Until now, while creating a subscription the subscriber lock protects only the subscribers subscription list and not the nametable. The call to tipc_nametbl_subscribe() is outside the lock. However, at subscription timeout and cancel both the subscribers subscription list and the nametable are protected by the subscriber lock. This asymmetric locking mechanism leads to the following problem: In a SMP system, the timer can be fire on another core before the create request is complete. When the timer thread calls tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe() before create thread calls tipc_nametbl_subscribe(), we get a nullptr exception. This can be simulated by creating subscription with timeout=0 and sometimes the timeout occurs before the create request is complete.

2016-02-06tipc: fix connection abort when receiving invalid cancel requestParthasarathy Bhuvaragan
Until now, the subscribers endianness for a subscription create/cancel request is determined as: swap = !(s->filter & (TIPC_SUB_PORTS | TIPC_SUB_SERVICE)) The checks are performed only for port/service subscriptions. The swap calculation is incorrect if the filter in the subscription cancellation request is set to TIPC_SUB_CANCEL (it's a malformed cancel request, as the corresponding subscription create filter is missing). Thus, the check if the request is for cancellation fails and the request is treated as a subscription create request. The subscription creation fails as the request is illegal, which terminates this connection. In this commit we determine the endianness by including TIPC_SUB_CANCEL, which will set swap correctly and the request is processed as a cancellation request.

2016-02-06tipc: fix connection abort during subscription cancellationParthasarathy Bhuvaragan
In 'commit 7fe8097cef5f ("tipc: fix nullpointer bug when subscribing to events")', we terminate the connection if the subscription creation fails. In the same commit, the subscription creation result was based on the value of subscription pointer (set in the function) instead of the return code. Unfortunately, the same function also handles subscription cancellation request. For a subscription cancellation request, the subscription pointer cannot be set. Thus the connection is terminated during cancellation request. In this commit, we move the subcription cancel check outside of tipc_subscrp_create(). Hence, - tipc_subscrp_create() will create a subscripton - tipc_subscrb_rcv_cb() will subscribe or cancel a subscription.

2016-02-06tipc: introduce tipc_subscrb_subscribe() routineParthasarathy Bhuvaragan
In this commit, we split tipc_subscrp_create() into two: 1. tipc_subscrp_create() creates a subscription 2. A new function tipc_subscrp_subscribe() adds the subscription to the subscriber subscription list, activates the subscription timer and subscribes to the nametable updates. In future commits, the purpose of tipc_subscrb_rcv_cb() will be to either subscribe or cancel a subscription. There is no functional change in this commit.

2016-02-06tipc: remove struct tipc_name_seq from struct tipc_subscriptionParthasarathy Bhuvaragan
Until now, struct tipc_subscriber has duplicate fields for type, upper and lower (as member of struct tipc_name_seq) at: 1. as member seq in struct tipc_subscription 2. as member seq in struct tipc_subscr, which is contained in struct tipc_event The former structure contains the type, upper and lower values in network byte order and the later contains the intact copy of the request. The struct tipc_subscription contains a field swap to determine if request needs network byte order conversion. Thus by using swap, we can convert the request when required instead of duplicating it. In this commit, 1. we remove the references to these elements as members of struct tipc_subscription and replace them with elements from struct tipc_subscr. 2. provide new functions to convert the user request into network byte order.
