83399361c3 [CCID2]: Remove redundant synchronisation variable
This removes the synchronisation variable `ccid2hctx_sendwait', which is set to 1
when the CCID2 sender may send a new packet, and which is set to 0 otherwise

The variable is redundant, since it is only used in combination with the hc_tx_send_packet/
hc_tx_packet_sent function pair. Both functions are called under socket lock, so the
following happens when the CCID2 may send a new packet:

 * it sets sendwait = 1 in tx_send_packet and returns 0;
 * the subsequent call to tx_packet_sent clears the sendwait flag;
 * since tx_send_packet returns 0 if and only if sendwait == 1, the BUG_ON condition
   in tx_packet_sent is never satisfied, since that function is never called when
   tx_send_packet returns a value different from 0 (cf. dccp_write_xmit);
 * the call to tx_packet_sent clears the flag so that the condition "!sendwait" is
   true the next time tx_packet_sent is called.

In other words, it is sufficient to just return 0 / not-0 to synchronise tx_send_packet
and tx_packet_sent -- which is what the patch does.

da98e0b5d4 [CCID2]: Redundant debugging output
This reduces the amount of redundant debugging messages:

 * pipe/cwnd are printed in both tx_send_packet() and tx_packet_sent().
   Both functions are called immediately after one another, so one occurrence is sufficient.

 * Since tx_packet_sent() prints pipe/cwnd already, the second printk for pipe is redundant.

 * In tx_packet_sent() the check_sanity function is called twice (at the begin and at the end).

95b21d7e9d [CCID2]: Replace pipe assignment-function with assignment
The function ccid2_change_pipe only does an assignment. This patch simplifies the code by
replacing the function with the assignment it performs.

Furthermore, the type of pipe is promoted from `signed' to unsigned (increasing the range).
As a result, a BUG_ON test for negative values now becomes obsolete (for safety not removed,
but replaced with a less annoying `DCCP_BUG').

3deeadd74b [CCID2]: Replace cwnd assignment-function with assignment
The current function ccid2_change_cwnd in effect makes only an assignment, as
the test whether cwnd has reached 0 is only required when cwnd is halved.

This patch simplifies the code by replacing the function with the assignment
it performs.

Furthermore, since ssthresh derives from cwnd and appears in many assignments and
comparisons, the type of ssthresh has also been changed to match that of cwnd.

900bfed471 [CCID2]: Disable broken Ack Ratio adaptation algorithm
This comments out a problematic section comprising a half-finished algorithm:

 - The variable `ccid2hctx_ackloss' is never initialised to a value different from 0 and
   hence in fact is a read-only constant.
 - The `arsent' variable counts packets other than Acks (it is incremented for every packet),
   and there is no test for Ack Loss.
 - The concept of counting Acks as such leads to a complex calculation, and the calculation
   at the moment is inconsistent with this concept.
   The problem is that the number of Acks - rather than the number of windows - is counted,
   which leads to a complex (cubic/quadratic) expression - this is not even implemented.

In its current state, the commented-out algorithm interfers with normal processing by
changing Ack Ratio incorrectly, and at the wrong times.

A new algorithm is necessary, which will not necessarily use the same variables as used by
the unfinished one; hence the old variables have been removed.

d50ad163e6 [CCID2]: Deadlock and spurious timeouts when Ack Ratio > cwnd
This patch removes a bug in the current code. I agree with Andrea's comment
that there is a problem here but the way it is treated does not fix it.

The problem is that whenever Ack Ratio > cwnd, starvation/deadlock occurs:
 * the receiver will not send an Ack until (Ack Ratio - cwnd) data packets
   have arrived;
 * the sender will not send any data packet before the receipt of an Ack
   advances the send window.
The only way that the connection then progresses was via RTO timeout. In one
extreme case (bulk transfer), it was observed that this happened for every single
packet; i.e. hundreds of packets, each a RTO timeout of 1..3 seconds apart:
a transfer which normally would take a fraction of a second thus grew to
several minutes.

The solution taken by this approach is to observe the relation

                   "Ack Ratio <= cwnd"

by using the constraint (1) from RFC 4341, 6.1.2; i.e. set

                 Ack Ratio = ceil(cwnd / 2)

and update it whenever either Ack Ratio or cwnd change. This ensures that
the deadlock problem can not arise.

3de5489f47 [CCID2]: Bug in reading Ack Vectors
In CCID2 the receiver-history is sorted in ascending order of sequence number,
but the processing of received Ack Vectors requires the list traversal in the
opposite direction.

The current code has a bug in this regard: the list traversal is upwards. As a
consequence, only Ack Vectors with a run length of 1 will pass, in all other
Ack Vectors the remaining (acked) sequence numbers are missed, and may later
falsely be identified as lost.

Note: This bug is only visible when Ack Ratio > 1, since otherwise the run
      lengths of Ack Vectors are 0.

e333b3edc4 [DCCP]: Promote CCID2 as default CCID
This patch addresses the following problems:

 1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module
    enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to
    disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely
    non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available.
    Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without
    CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation.

 2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2
    (DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig
    menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when
    trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID).

 3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a
    `minimum common denominator'; the specification says that:

    * "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints"

    * "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a
       general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2.
       The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]"

    Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable.

Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added.

Discussions with Ian McDonald on this subject are gratefully acknowledged.

8e8c71f1ab [DCCP]: Honour and make use of shutdown option set by user
This extends the DCCP socket API by honouring any shutdown(2) option set by the user.
The behaviour is, as much as possible, made consistent with the API for TCP's shutdown.

This patch exploits the information provided by the user via the socket API to reduce
processing costs:
 * if the read end is closed (SHUT_RD), it is not necessary to deliver to input CCID;
 * if the write end is closed (SHUT_WR), the same idea applies, but with a difference -
   as long as the TX queue has not been drained, we need to receive feedback to keep
   congestion-control rates up to date. Hence SHUT_WR is honoured only after the last
   packet (under congestion control) has been sent;
 * although SHUT_RDWR seems nonsensical, it is nevertheless supported in the same manner
   as for TCP (and agrees with test for SHUTDOWN_MASK in dccp_poll() in net/dccp/proto.c).

Furthermore, most of the code already honours the sk_shutdown flags (dccp_recvmsg() for
instance sets the read length to 0 if SHUT_RD had been called); CCID handling is now added
to this by the present patch.

There will also no longer be any delivery when the socket is in the final stages, i.e. when
one of dccp_close(), dccp_fin(), or dccp_done() has been called - which is fine since at
that stage the connection is its final stages.

Motivation and background are on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/shutdown

A FIXME has been added to notify the other end if SHUT_RD has been set (RFC 4340, 11.7).

Note: There is a comment in inet_shutdown() in net/ipv4/af_inet.c which asks to "make
      sure the socket is a TCP socket". This should probably be extended to mean
      `TCP or DCCP socket' (the code is also used by UDP and raw sockets).

eb279b79c4 [CCID3]: Ignore trivial amounts of elapsed time
This patch fixes a previously undiscovered bug; the problem is in computing
the elapsed time as the time between `receiving' the packet (i.e. skb enters
CCID module) and sending feedback:

     - there is no layer-processing, queueing, or delay involved,
     - hence the elapsed time is in the order of 1 function call
     - this is in the dimension of maximally 50..100usec
     - which renders the use of elapsed time almost entirely useless.

The fix is simply to ignore such trivial amounts of elapsed time.

As a further advantage, the now useless elapsed_time field can be removed from
the socket, which reduces the socket structure by another four bytes.

dabeb344f5 mac80211: provide interface iterator for drivers
Sometimes drivers need to know which interfaces are associated with
their hardware. Rather than forcing those drivers to keep track of
the interfaces that were added, this adds an iteration function to
mac80211.

As it is intended to be used from the interface add/remove callbacks,
the iteration function may currently only be called under RTNL.

9859a79023 [NET]: Compact sk_stream_mem_schedule() code
This function references sk->sk_prot->xxx for many times.
It turned out, that there's so many code in it, that gcc
cannot always optimize access to sk->sk_prot's fields.

After saving the sk->sk_prot on the stack and comparing
disassembled code, it turned out that the function became
~10 bytes shorter and made less dereferences (on i386 and
x86_64). Stack consumption didn't grow.

Besides, this patch drives most of this function into the
80 columns limit.

3ef1355dcb [NET]: Make netns cleanup to run in a separate queue
This patch adds a separate workqueue for cleaning up a network
namespace. If we use the keventd workqueue to execute cleanup_net(),
there is a problem to unregister devices in IPv6. Indeed the code
that cleans up also schedule work in keventd: as long as cleanup_net()
hasn't return, dst_gc_task() cannot run and as long as dst_gc_task() has
not run, there are still some references pending on the net devices and
cleanup_net() can not unregister and exit the keventd workqueue.

beb659bd8c [PATCH] IPV4 : Move ip route cache flush (secret_rebuild) from softirq to workqueue
Every 600 seconds (ip_rt_secret_interval), a softirq flush of the
whole ip route cache is triggered. On loaded machines, this can starve
softirq for many seconds and can eventually crash.

This patch moves this flush to a workqueue context, using the worker
we intoduced in commit 39c90ece75 (IPV4:
Convert rt_check_expire() from softirq processing to workqueue.)

Also, immediate flushes (echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush) are
using rt_do_flush() helper function, wich take attention to
rescheduling.

Next step will be to handle delayed flushes
("echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush" or "ip route flush cache")

42a73808ed [RAW]: Consolidate proc interface.
Both ipv6/raw.c and ipv4/raw.c use the seq files to walk
through the raw sockets hash and show them.

The "walking" code is rather huge, but is identical in both
cases. The difference is the hash table to walk over and
the protocol family to check (this was not in the first
virsion of the patch, which was noticed by YOSHIFUJI)

Make the ->open store the needed hash table and the family
on the allocated raw_iter_state and make the start/next/stop
callbacks work with it.

This removes most of the code.

7bc54c9030 [IPv4] RAW: Compact the API for the kernel
The raw sockets functions are explicitly used from
inside the kernel in two places:

1. in ip_local_deliver_finish to intercept skb-s
2. in icmp_error

For this purposes many functions and even data structures,
that are naturally internal for raw protocol, are exported.

Compact the API to two functions and hide all the other
(including hash table and rwlock) inside the net/ipv4/raw.c

097e66c578 [NET]: Make AF_UNIX per network namespace safe [v2]
Because of the global nature of garbage collection, and because of the
cost of per namespace hash tables unix_socket_table has been kept
global.  With a filter added on lookups so we don't see sockets from
the wrong namespace.

Currently I don't fold the namesapce into the hash so multiple
namespaces using the same socket name will be guaranteed a hash
collision.

- fixed unix_seq_open

4b3da706bb [NET]: Make the netlink methods in rtnetlink handle multiple network namespaces
After the previous prep work this just consists of removing checks
limiting the code to work in the initial network namespace, and
updating rtmsg_ifinfo so we can generate events for devices in
something other then the initial network namespace.

Referring to network other network devices like the IFLA_LINK
and IFLA_MASTER attributes do, gets interesting if those network
devices happen to be in other network namespaces.  Currently
ifindex numbers are allocated globally so I have taken the path
of least resistance and not still report the information even
though the devices they are talking about are invisible.

If applications start getting confused or when ifindex
numbers become local to the network namespace we may need
to do something different in the future.
