Gerrit Renker 9f8681db96 [DCCP] ccid3: Shift window counter computation
This puts the window counter computation [RFC 4342, 8.1] into a separate
 function which is called whenever a new packet is ready for immediate
 transmission in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet.

Justification:

 The window counter update was previously computed after the packet was sent. This has
 two drawbacks, both fixed by this patch:
   1) re-compute another timestamp almost directly after the packet was sent (expensive),
   2) the CCVal for the window counter is needed at the instant the packet is sent.

Further details:

 The initialisation of the window counter is left in the state NO_SENT, as before.
 The algorithm will do nothing if either RTT is initialised to 0 (which is ok) or if
 the RTT value remains below 4 microseconds (which is almost pathological).

Gerrit Renker de553c189e [DCCP] ccid3: Sanity-check RTT samples
CCID3 performance depends much on the accuracy of RTT samples.  If RTT
samples grow too large, performance can be catastrophically poor.

To limit the amount of possible damage in such cases, the patch
 * introduces an upper limit which identifies a maximum `sane' RTT value;
 * uses a macro to enforce this upper limit.

Using a macro was given preference, since it is necessary to identify the
calling function in the warning message. Since exceeding this threshold
identifies a critical condition, DCCP_CRIT is used and not DCCP_WARN.

Many thanks to Ian McDonald for collaboration on this issue.

Gerrit Renker fe0499ae95 [DCCP] ccid3: Initialise RTT values
In both the sender and the receiver it is possible that the stored
RTT value is accessed before an actual RTT estimate has been computed.

This patch
 * initialises the sender RTT to 0
     - the sender always accesses the RTT in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent
     - the RTT is further needed for the window counter algorithm

 * replaces the receiver initialisation of 5msec with 0
     - which has the same effect and removes an `XXX'
     - the RTT value is needed in ccid3_hc_rx_packet_recv as rtt_prev

Gerrit Renker 65d6c2b42e [DCCP] ccid: Deprecate ccid_hc_tx_insert_options
The function ccid3_hc_tx_insert_options only does a redundant no-op,
 as the operation

  DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_ccval = hctx->ccid3hctx_last_win_count;

 is already performed _unconditionally_ in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet.

 Since there is further no current need for this function, it is removed
 entirely. Since furthermore, there is actually no present need for the
 entire interface function ccid_hc_tx_insert_options, it was decided to
 remove it also, to clean up the interface.

Gerrit Renker f6282f4da5 [DCCP]: Warn when discarding packet due to internal errors
This adds a (debug) warning message which is triggered whenever a packet is
discarded due to send failure.

It also adds a conditional, so that an interruption during dccp_wait_for_ccid
is not treated as a `BUG': the rationale is that interruptions are external,
whereas bug warnings are concerned with the internals.

Gerrit Renker bf58a381e8 [DCCP]: Only deliver to the CCID rx side in charge
This is an optimisation to reduce CPU load. The received feedback is now
only directed to the active CCID component, without requiring processing
also by the inactive one.

As a consequence, a similar test in ccid3.c is now redundant and is
also removed.

Justification:

 Currently DCCP works as a unidirectional service, i.e. a listening server
 is not at the same time a connecting client.
 As far as I can see, several modifications are necessary until that
 becomes possible.
 At the present time, received feedback is both fed to the rx/tx CCID
 modules. In unidirectional service, only one of these is active at any
 one time.

Gerrit Renker d63d8364cf [DCCP]: Simplify TFRC calculation
In migrating towards using the newer functions scaled_div/scaled_div32
for TFRC computations mapped from floating-point onto integer arithmetic,
this completes the last stage of modifications.

In particular, the overflow case for computing X_calc is circumvented by
 * breaking the computation into two stages
 * the first stage, res = (s*1E6)/R, cannot overflow due to use of u64
 * in the second stage, res = (res*1E6)/f, overflow on u32 is avoided due
   to (i) returning UINT_MAX in this case (which is logically appropriate)
   and (ii) issuing a warning message into the system log (since very likely
   there is a problem somewhere else with the parameters)

Lastly, all such scaling operations are now exported into tfrc.h, since
actually this form of scaled computation is specific to TFRC and not to CCID3.

Gerrit Renker 0f9e5b573f [DCCP]: Debug timeval operations
Problem:

 Most target types in the CCID3 code are u32, so subtle conversion errors
 can occur if signed time calculations yield negative results: the original
 values are lost in the conversion to unsigned, calculation errors go undetected.

 This patch therefore
   * sets all critical time types from unsigned to suseconds_t
   * avoids comparison between signed/unsigned via type-casting
   * provides ample warning messages in case time calculations are negative

 These warning messages can be removed at a later stage when the code
 has undergone more testing.

Gerrit Renker bfe24a6cc2 [DCCP] ccid3: Simplify calculation for reverse lookup of p
This simplifies the calculation of a value p for a given fval when the
 first loss interval is computed (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). It makes use of the
 two new functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 to provide overflow protection.

 Additionally, protection against divide-by-zero is extended - in this
 case the function will return the maximally possible value of p=100%.

Background:

 The maximum fval, f(100%), is approximately 244, i.e. the scaled value of fval
 should never exceed 244E6, which fits easily into u32. The problem is the scaling
 by 10^6, since additionally R(TT) is in microseconds.
 This is resolved by breaking the division into two stages: the first stage
 computes fval=(s*10^6)/R, stores that into u64; the second stage computes
 fval = (fval*10^6)/X_recv and complains if overflow is reached for u32.
 This case is safe since the TFRC reverse-lookup routine then returns p=100%.

Gerrit Renker 1a21e49a8d [DCCP] ccid3: Finer-grained resolution of sending rates
This patch
 * resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0
 * supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second
 * simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations

Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated
sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to
 * cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second)
 * allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3
 * avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off

The patch implements a revised strategy from
http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html

The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already
used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.

Gerrit Renker ff58629824 [DCCP] ccid3: Two optimisations for sending rate recomputation
This performs two optimisations for the recomputation of the sending rate.

1) Currently the target sending rate X_calc is recalculated whenever
	a) the nofeedback timer expires, or
	b) a feedback packet is received.
   In the (a) case, recomputing X_calc is redundant, since

    * the parameters p and RTT do not change in between the
      reception of feedback packets;

    * the parameter X_recv is either modified from received
      feedback or via the nofeedback timer;

    * a test (`p == 0') in the nofeedback timer avoids using
      a stale/undefined value of X_calc if p was previously 0.

2) The nofeedback timer now only recomputes a timestamp when p == 0.
   This is according to step (4) of [RFC 3448, 4.3] and avoids
   unnecessarily determining a timestamp.

A debug statement about not updating X is also removed - it helps very
little in debugging and just clutters the logs.

Gerrit Renker 44158306d7 [DCCP] ccid3: Deprecate TFRC_SMALLEST_P
This patch deprecates the existing use of an arbitrary value TFRC_SMALLEST_P
 for low-threshold values of p. This avoids masking low-resolution errors.
 Instead, the code now checks against real boundaries (implemented by preceding
 patch) and provides warnings whenever a real value falls below the threshold.

 If such messages are observed, it is a better solution to take this as an
 indication that the lookup table needs to be re-engineered.

Changelog:
----------
 This patch
   * makes handling all TFRC resolution errors local to the TFRC library

   * removes unnecessary test whether X_calc is 'infinity' due to p==0 -- this
     condition is already caught by tfrc_calc_x()

   * removes setting ccid3hctx_p = TFRC_SMALLEST_P in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv
     since this is now done by the TFRC library

   * updates BUG_ON test in ccid3_hc_tx_no_feedback_timer to take into account
     that p now is either 0 (and then X_calc is irrelevant), or it is > 0; since
     the handling of TFRC_SMALLEST_P is now taken care of in the tfrc library

Justification:
--------------
 The TFRC code uses a lookup table which has a bounded resolution.
 The lowest possible value of the loss event rate `p' which can be
 resolved is currently 0.0001.  Substituting this lower threshold for
 p when p is less than 0.0001 results in a huge, exponentially-growing
 error.  The error can be computed by the following formula:

    (f(0.0001) - f(p))/f(p) * 100      for p < 0.0001

 Currently the solution is to use an (arbitrary) value
     TFRC_SMALLEST_P  =   40 * 1E-6   =   0.00004
 and to consider all values below this value as `virtually zero'.  Due to
 the exponentially growing resolution error, this is not a good idea, since
 it hides the fact that the table can not resolve practically occurring cases.
 Already at p == TFRC_SMALLEST_P, the error is as high as 58.19%!

 1) The table is generated by the following equations:

	lookup[index][1] = g((index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE);
    where g(q) is 1E6 * f(q/1E6)

 2) The reverse lookup assigns an entry in lookup[index][small]

 3) This index needs to match the above, i.e.
    * if small=0 then

      		p  = (index + 1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE

    * if small=1 then

		p = (index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE

These are exactly the changes that the patch makes; previously the code did
not conform to the way the lookup table was generated (this difference resulted
in a mean error of about 1.12%).

Gerrit Renker 76d127779e [DCCP]: Fix BUG in retransmission delay calculation
This bug resulted in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet returning negative
delay values, which in turn triggered silently dequeueing packets in
dccp_write_xmit. As a result, only a few out of the submitted packets made
it at all onto the network.  Occasionally, when dccp_wait_for_ccid was
involved, this also triggered a bug warning since ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet
returned a negative value (which in reality was a negative delay value).

The cause for this bug lies in the comparison

 if (delay >= hctx->ccid3hctx_delta)
	return delay / 1000L;

The type of `delay' is `long', that of ccid3hctx_delta is `u32'. When comparing
negative long values against u32 values, the test returned `true' whenever delay
was smaller than 0 (meaning the packet was overdue to send).

The fix is by casting, subtracting, and then testing the difference with
regard to 0.

This has been tested and shown to work.

Gerrit Renker 8a508ac26e [DCCP]: Use higher RTO default for CCID3
The TFRC nofeedback timer normally expires after the maximum of 4
RTTs and twice the current send interval (RFC 3448, 4.3). On LANs
with a small RTT this can mean a high processing load and reduced
performance, since then the nofeedback timer is triggered very
frequently.

This patch provides a configuration option to set the bound for the
nofeedback timer, using as default 100 milliseconds.

Gerrit Renker 6b57c93dc3 [DCCP]: Use `unsigned' for packet lengths
This patch implements a suggestion by Ian McDonald and

 1) Avoids tests against negative packet lengths by using unsigned int
    for packet payload lengths in the CCID send_packet()/packet_sent() routines

 2) As a consequence, it removes an now unnecessary test with regard to `len > 0'
    in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent: that condition is always true, since
      * negative packet lengths are avoided
      * ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet flags an error whenever the payload length is 0.
        As a consequence, ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is never called as all errors
        returned by ccid_hc_tx_send_packet are caught in dccp_write_xmit

 3) Removes the third argument of ccid_hc_tx_send_packet (the `len' parameter),
    since it is currently always set to skb->len. The code is updated with regard
    to this parameter change.

Gerrit Renker a79ef76f4d [DCCP] ccid3: Larger initial windows
This implements the larger-initial-windows feature for CCID 3, as described in
section 5 of RFC 4342. When the first feedback packet arrives, the sender can
send up to 2..4 packets per RTT, instead of just one.

The patch further
 * reduces the number of timestamping calls by passing the timestamp value
   (which is computed in one of the calling functions anyway) as argument

 * renames one constant with a very long name into one which is shorter and
   resembles the one in RFC 3448 (t_mbi)

 * simplifies some of the min_t/max_t cases where both `x', `y' have the same
   type

Commiter note: renamed TFRC_t_mbi to TFRC_T_MBI, to follow Linux coding style.

Gerrit Renker 5d0dbc4a9b [DCCP] ccid3: Consolidate handling of t_RTO
This patch
 * removes setting t_RTO in ccid3_hc_tx_init (per [RFC 3448, 4.2], t_RTO is
   undefined until feedback has been received);

 * makes some trivial changes (updates of comments);

 * performs a small optimisation by exploiting that the feedback timeout
   uses the value of t_ipi. The way it is done is safe, because the timeouts
   appear after the changes to t_ipi, ensuring that up-to-date values are used;

 * in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, moves the t_rto statement closer to the calculation
   of the next_tmout. This makes the code clearer to read and is also safe, since
   t_rto is not updated until the next call of ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, and is not
   read by the functions called via ccid_wait_for_ccid();

 * removes a `max' statement in sk_reset_timer, this is not needed since the timeout
   value is always greater than 1E6 microseconds.

 * adds `XXX'es to highlight that currently the nofeedback timer is set
   in a non-standard way

Since in this case the value of R is still undefined according to [RFC 3448,

provided in [RFC 4342, sec. 5], which states that in these cases the nofeedback

This patch removes a switch statement which is redundant since,

 * it is impossible that the function is called in the state TFRC_SSTATE_TERM, since
       --the function is called, in dccp_write_xmit, after ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet
       --if ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet is called in state TFRC_SSTATE_TERM, it returns
         -EINVAL, which means that ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent will not be called
	 (compare dccp_write_xmit)
       --> therefore, this case is logically impossible
 * the remaining state is TFRC_SSTATE_FBACK which conditionally updates t_ipi, t_nom,
   and t_delta. This is a no-op, since
       --t_ipi only changes when feedback is received
       --however, when feedback arrives via ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, there is an identical
         code block which performs the same set of operations
       --performing the same set of operations again in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent therefore
         does not change anything, since between the time of receiving the last feedback
	 (and therefore update of t_ipi, t_nom, and t_delta), the value of t_ipi has not

Gerrit Renker da335baf9e [DCCP] ccid3: Avoid congestion control on zero-sized data packets
This resolves an `XXX' in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet().

The function is only called on Data and DataAck packets and returns a negative
result on zero-sized messages. This is a reasonable policy since CCID 3 is a
congestion-control module and congestion control on zero-sized Data(Ack)
packets is in a way pathological.

The patch uses a more suitable error code for this case, it returns the Posix.1
code `EBADMSG' ("Not a data message") instead of `ENOTCONN'.

As a result of ignoring zero-sized packets, a the condition for a warning
"First packet is data" in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is always satisfied; this
message has been removed since it will always be printed.

	* 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.

Gerrit Renker 6a128e053e [DCCPv6]: Resolve conditional build problem
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'.

Gerrit Renker b9df3cb8cf [TCP/DCCP]: Introduce net_xmit_eval
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.

	  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;

Gerrit Renker 865e9022d8 [DCCP]: Remove redundant statements in init_sequence (ISS)
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.

Gerrit Renker afb0a34dd3 [DCCP]: Introduce a consistent naming scheme for sysctls
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.

Gerrit Renker 2e2e9e92bd [DCCP]: Add sysctls to control retransmission behaviour
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.

Gerrit Renker e11d9d3080 [DCCP]: Increment sequence numbers on retransmitted Response packets
Problem:
2006-12-02 21:22:17 -08:00
Gerrit Renker 08a29e41bb [DCCP]: Update comments on precisely which packets can be retransmitted
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.

Gerrit Renker 6f4e5fff1e [DCCP]: Support for partial checksums (RFC 4340, sec. 9.2)
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,

Eric Dumazet 72a3effaf6 [NET]: Size listen hash tables using backlog hint
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.
