93ec2c723e netpoll info leak
After looking harder, Steve noticed that the netpoll
beast leaked a little every time it shutdown for a nap.
Not a big leak, but a nuisance kind of thing.

He took out his refcount duct tape and patched the
leak. It was overkill since there was already other
locking in that area, but it looked clean and wouldn't
attract fleas.

a1bcfacd05 netpoll: private skb pool (rev3)
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...

d23ca15a21 [DCCP] ACKVEC: Optimization - Do not traverse records if none will be found
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.

09dbc3895e [DCCP]: Miscellaneous code tidy-ups
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

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

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.

2ee92d46c6 [SELinux]: Add support for DCCP
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

60361be1be [DCCP]: set safe upper bound for option length
This is a re-send from
http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00553.html

It is the same patch as before, but I have built in Arnaldo's suggestions
pointed out in that posting.

931731123a [TCP]: Don't set SKB owner in tcp_transmit_skb().
The data itself is already charged to the SKB, doing
the skb_set_owner_w() just generates a lot of noise and
extra atomics we don't really need.

Lmbench improvements on lat_tcp are minimal:

before:
TCP latency using localhost: 23.2701 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 23.1994 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 23.2257 microseconds

after:
TCP latency using localhost: 22.8380 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 22.9465 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 22.8462 microseconds

ce7bc3bf15 [TCP]: Restrict congestion control choices.
Allow normal users to only choose among a restricted set of congestion
control choices.  The default is reno and what ever has been configured
as default. But the policy can be changed by administrator at any time.

For example, to allow any choice:
    cp /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_available_congestion_control \
       /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_allowed_congestion_control

b68dbcab1d [SCTP]: Fix warning
An alternate solution would be to make the digest a pointer, allocate
it in sctp_endpoint_init() and free it in sctp_endpoint_destroy().

I guess I should have originally done it this way...

  CC [M]  net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.o
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.

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.
