Eric Dumazet 740b0f1841 tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolution
Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT
estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days.

FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control
and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in
tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt'

TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility :
tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution,
so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed
to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel.

In this example ss command displays a srtt of 32 usecs (10Gbit link)

Eric Dumazet efe4208f47 ipv6: make lookups simpler and faster
TCP listener refactoring, part 4 :

To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct
sock_common

Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast
lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV.

Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache
lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall).

inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6

This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4,
we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6,
it's not doable easily.

inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr
inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr

And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr
at the same offset.

We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic
macro.

Eric Dumazet 71cea17ed3 tcp: md5: remove spinlock usage in fast path
TCP md5 code uses per cpu variables but protects access to them with
a shared spinlock, which is a contention point.

[ tcp_md5sig_pool_lock is locked twice per incoming packet ]

Makes things much simpler, by allocating crypto structures once, first
time a socket needs md5 keys, and not deallocating them as they are
really small.

Next step would be to allow crypto allocations being done in a NUMA

Yuchung Cheng cd75eff64d tcp: reset timer after any SYNACK retransmit
Linux immediately returns SYNACK on (spurious) SYN retransmits, but
keeps the SYNACK timer running independently. Thus the timer may
fire right after the SYNACK retransmit and causes a SYN-SYNACK
cross-fire burst.

Adopt the fast retransmit/recovery idea in established state by
re-arming the SYNACK timer after the fast (SYNACK) retransmit. The
timer may fire late up to 500ms due to the current SYNACK timer wheel,
but it's OK to be conservative when network is congested. Eric's new
listener design should address this issue.

Yuchung Cheng 9b44190dc1 tcp: refactor F-RTO
The patch series refactor the F-RTO feature (RFC4138/5682).

This is to simplify the loss recovery processing. Existing F-RTO
was developed during the experimental stage (RFC4138) and has
many experimental features.  It takes a separate code path from
the traditional timeout processing by overloading CA_Disorder
instead of using CA_Loss state. This complicates CA_Disorder state
handling because it's also used for handling dubious ACKs and undos.
While the algorithm in the RFC does not change the congestion control,
the implementation intercepts congestion control in various places
(e.g., frto_cwnd in tcp_ack()).

The new code implements newer F-RTO RFC5682 using CA_Loss processing
path.  F-RTO becomes a small extension in the timeout processing
and interfaces with congestion control and Eifel undo modules.
It lets congestion control (module) determines how many to send
independently.  F-RTO only chooses what to send in order to detect
spurious retranmission. If timeout is found spurious it invokes
existing Eifel undo algorithms like DSACK or TCP timestamp based
detection.

The first patch removes all F-RTO code except the sysctl_tcp_frto is
left for the new implementation.  Since CA_EVENT_FRTO is removed, TCP
westwood now computes ssthresh on regular timeout CA_EVENT_LOSS event.

Nandita Dukkipati 9b717a8d24 tcp: TLP loss detection.
This is the second of the TLP patch series; it augments the basic TLP
algorithm with a loss detection scheme.

This patch implements a mechanism for loss detection when a Tail
loss probe retransmission plugs a hole thereby masking packet loss
from the sender. The loss detection algorithm relies on counting
TLP dupacks as outlined in Sec. 3 of:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01

The basic idea is: Sender keeps track of TLP "episode" upon
retransmission of a TLP packet. An episode ends when the sender receives
an ACK above the SND.NXT (tracked by tlp_high_seq) at the time of the
episode. We want to make sure that before the episode ends the sender
receives a "TLP dupack", indicating that the TLP retransmission was
unnecessary, so there was no loss/hole that needed plugging. If the
sender gets no TLP dupack before the end of the episode, then it reduces
ssthresh and the congestion window, because the TLP packet arriving at
the receiver probably plugged a hole.

Andrey Vagin ee684b6f28 tcp: send packets with a socket timestamp
A socket timestamp is a sum of the global tcp_time_stamp and
a per-socket offset.

A socket offset is added in places where externally visible
tcp timestamp option is parsed/initialized.

Connections in the SYN_RECV state are not supported, global
tcp_time_stamp is used for them, because repair mode doesn't support
this state. In a future it can be implemented by the similar way
as for TIME_WAIT sockets.

Andrey Vagin ceaa1fef65 tcp: adding a per-socket timestamp offset
This functionality is used for restoring tcp sockets. A tcp timestamp
depends on how long a system has been running, so it's differ for each
host. The solution is to set a per-socket offset.

A per-socket offset for a TIME_WAIT socket is inherited from a proper
tcp socket.

tcp_request_sock doesn't have a timestamp offset, because the repair
mode for them are not implemented.

Eric Dumazet e6c022a4fa tcp: better retrans tracking for defer-accept
For passive TCP connections using TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT facility,
we incorrectly increment req->retrans each time timeout triggers
while no SYNACK is sent.

SYNACK are not sent for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT that were established (for
which we received the ACK from client). Only the last SYNACK is sent
so that we can receive again an ACK from client, to move the req into
accept queue. We plan to change this later to avoid the useless
retransmit (and potential problem as this SYNACK could be lost)

TCP_INFO later gives wrong information to user, claiming imaginary
retransmits.

Decouple req->retrans field into two independent fields :

num_retrans : number of retransmit
num_timeout : number of timeouts

num_timeout is the counter that is incremented at each timeout,
regardless of actual SYNACK being sent or not, and used to
compute the exponential timeout.

Introduce inet_rtx_syn_ack() helper to increment num_retrans
only if ->rtx_syn_ack() succeeded.

Use inet_rtx_syn_ack() from tcp_check_req() to increment num_retrans
when we re-send a SYNACK in answer to a (retransmitted) SYN.
Prior to this patch, we were not counting these retransmits.

Change tcp_v[46]_rtx_synack() to increment TCP_MIB_RETRANSSEGS
only if a synack packet was successfully queued.

Neal Cardwell 0725398801 tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - note timestamps and retransmits for SYNACK RTT
Previously, when using TCP Fast Open a server would return from
tcp_check_req() before updating snt_synack based on TCP timestamp echo
replies and whether or not we've retransmitted the SYNACK. The result
was that (a) for TFO connections using timestamps we used an incorrect
baseline SYNACK send time (tcp_time_stamp of SYNACK send instead of
rcv_tsecr), and (b) for TFO connections that do not have TCP
timestamps but retransmit the SYNACK we took a SYNACK RTT sample when
we should not take a sample.

This fix merely moves the snt_synack update logic a bit earlier in the
function, so that connections using TCP Fast Open will properly do
these updates when the ACK for the SYNACK arrives.

Moving this snt_synack update logic means that with TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT
enabled we do a few instructions of wasted work on each bare ACK, but
that seems OK.

Jerry Chu 8336886f78 tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - support TFO listeners
This patch builds on top of the previous patch to add the support
for TFO listeners. This includes -

1. allocating, properly initializing, and managing the per listener
fastopen_queue structure when TFO is enabled

2. changes to the inet_csk_accept code to support TFO. E.g., the
request_sock can no longer be freed upon accept(), not until 3WHS
finishes

3. allowing a TCP_SYN_RECV socket to properly poll() and sendmsg()
if it's a TFO socket

4. properly closing a TFO listener, and a TFO socket before 3WHS
finishes

5. supporting TCP_FASTOPEN socket option

6. modifying tcp_check_req() to use to check a TFO socket as well
as request_sock

7. supporting TCP's TFO cookie option

8. adding a new SYN-ACK retransmit handler to use the timer directly
off the TFO socket rather than the listener socket. Note that TFO
server side will not retransmit anything other than SYN-ACK until
the 3WHS is completed.

The patch also contains an important function
"reqsk_fastopen_remove()" to manage the somewhat complex relation
between a listener, its request_sock, and the corresponding child
socket. See the comment above the function for the detail.

Eric Dumazet 46d3ceabd8 tcp: TCP Small Queues
This introduce TSQ (TCP Small Queues)

TSQ goal is to reduce number of TCP packets in xmit queues (qdisc &
device queues), to reduce RTT and cwnd bias, part of the bufferbloat
problem.

sk->sk_wmem_alloc not allowed to grow above a given limit,
allowing no more than ~128KB [1] per tcp socket in qdisc/dev layers at a
given time.

TSO packets are sized/capped to half the limit, so that we have two
TSO packets in flight, allowing better bandwidth use.

As a side effect, setting the limit to 40000 automatically reduces the
standard gso max limit (65536) to 40000/2 : It can help to reduce
latencies of high prio packets, having smaller TSO packets.

This means we divert sock_wfree() to a tcp_wfree() handler, to
queue/send following frames when skb_orphan() [2] is called for the
already queued skbs.

Results on my dev machines (tg3/ixgbe nics) are really impressive,
using standard pfifo_fast, and with or without TSO/GSO.

Without reduction of nominal bandwidth, we have reduction of buffering
per bulk sender :
< 1ms on Gbit (instead of 50ms with TSO)
< 8ms on 100Mbit (instead of 132 ms)

I no longer have 4 MBytes backlogged in qdisc by a single netperf
session, and both side socket autotuning no longer use 4 Mbytes.

As skb destructor cannot restart xmit itself ( as qdisc lock might be
taken at this point ), we delegate the work to a tasklet. We use one
tasklest per cpu for performance reasons.

If tasklet finds a socket owned by the user, it sets TSQ_OWNED flag.
This flag is tested in a new protocol method called from release_sock(),
to eventually send new segments.

[1] New /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes tunable
[2] skb_orphan() is usually called at TX completion time,
  but some drivers call it in their start_xmit() handler.
  These drivers should at least use BQL, or else a single TCP
  session can still fill the whole NIC TX ring, since TSQ will
  have no effect.

David S. Miller 41063e9dd1 ipv4: Early TCP socket demux.
Input packet processing for local sockets involves two major demuxes.
One for the route and one for the socket.

But we can optimize this down to one demux for certain kinds of local
sockets.

Currently we only do this for established TCP sockets, but it could
at least in theory be expanded to other kinds of connections.

If a TCP socket is established then it's identity is fully specified.

This means that whatever input route was used during the three-way
handshake must work equally well for the rest of the connection since
the keys will not change.

Once we move to established state, we cache the receive packet's input
route to use later.

Like the existing cached route in sk->sk_dst_cache used for output
packets, we have to check for route invalidations using dst->obsolete
and dst->ops->check().

Early demux occurs outside of a socket locked section, so when a route
invalidation occurs we defer the fixup of sk->sk_rx_dst until we are
actually inside of established state packet processing and thus have
the socket locked.

David S. Miller 2397849baa [PATCH] tcp: Cache inetpeer in timewait socket, and only when necessary.
Since it's guarenteed that we will access the inetpeer if we're trying
to do timewait recycling and TCP options were enabled on the
connection, just cache the peer in the timewait socket.

In the future, inetpeer lookups will be context dependent (per routing
realm), and this helps facilitate that as well.

David S. Miller 4670fd819e tcp: Get rid of inetpeer special cases.
The get_peer method TCP uses is full of special cases that make no
sense accommodating, and it also gets in the way of doing more
reasonable things here.

First of all, if the socket doesn't have a usable cached route, there
is no sense in trying to optimize timewait recycling.

Likewise for the case where we have IP options, such as SRR enabled,
that make the IP header destination address (and thus the destination
address of the route key) differ from that of the connection's
destination address.

Just return a NULL peer in these cases, and thus we're also able to
get rid of the clumsy inetpeer release logic.

Yuchung Cheng eed530b6c6 tcp: early retransmit
This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP.
It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are
less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout.

While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering
makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter
false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement
a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays
entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently
ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection
after the first reordering event. A large scale web server
experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in
section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”,
IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf

Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The
differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only
used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is
enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if
people think it's a good idea.

ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans:
  0: Disables ER

  1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4.

  2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay
     entering fast recovery by RTT/4.

Note: mode 2 is implemented in the third part of this patch series.

It also adds support to take RTT sample during 3WHS on the passive

valid, to seed the initRTO for the data transmission phase.

The patch also resets ssthresh to its initial default at the

there has been MORE THAN ONE retransmission during 3WHS per RFC5681.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

This is likely caused by the change in the 'estab' parameter
passed to tcp_parse_options() when invoked by the functions
in net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c

But even if that is fixed, the ->conn_request() changes made in
this patch series is fundamentally wrong.  They try to use the
listening socket's 'dst' to probe the route settings.  The
listening socket doesn't even have a route, and you can't
get the right route (the child request one) until much later
after we setup all of the state, and it must be done by hand.

This stuff really isn't ready, so the best thing to do is a
full revert.  This reverts the following commits:

William Allen Simpson 435cf559f0 TCPCT part 1d: define TCP cookie option, extend existing struct's
Data structures are carefully composed to require minimal additions.
For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits
between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional
space (taking alignment into consideration).  There are no additions to
tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock.

This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old)
patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original
author (Adam Langley):

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586

The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce,
instead of a user configured offset in the data.  This is more flexible and
less subject to user configuration error.  Such a cookie option has been
suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing
several related concepts to use the same extension option.

Julian Anastasov d1b99ba41d tcp: accept socket after TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period
Willy Tarreau and many other folks in recent years
were concerned what happens when the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period
expires for clients which sent ACK packet. They prefer clients
that actively resend ACK on our SYN-ACK retransmissions to be
converted from open requests to sockets and queued to the
listener for accepting after the deferring period is finished.
Then application server can decide to wait longer for data
or to properly terminate the connection with FIN if read()
returns EAGAIN which is an indication for accepting after
the deferring period. This change still can have side effects
for applications that expect always to see data on the accepted
socket. Others can be prepared to work in both modes (with or
without TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period) and their data processing can
ignore the read=EAGAIN notification and to allocate resources for
clients which proved to have no data to send during the deferring
period. OTOH, servers that use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT=1 as flag (not
as a timeout) to wait for data will notice clients that didn't
send data for 3 seconds but that still resend ACKs.
Thanks to Willy Tarreau for the initial idea and to
Eric Dumazet for the review and testing the change.

Willy Tarreau 6d01a026b7 tcp: fix tcp_defer_accept to consider the timeout
I was trying to use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and noticed that if the
client does not talk, the connection is never accepted and
remains in SYN_RECV state until the retransmits expire, where
it finally is deleted. This is bad when some firewall such as
netfilter sits between the client and the server because the
firewall sees the connection in ESTABLISHED state while the
server will finally silently drop it without sending an RST.

This behaviour contradicts the man page which says it should
wait only for some time :

       TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT (since Linux 2.4)
          Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives
          on the socket.  Takes an integer value  (seconds), this
          can  bound  the  maximum  number  of attempts TCP will
          make to complete the connection. This option should not
          be used in code intended to be portable.

Also, looking at ipv4/tcp.c, a retransmit counter is correctly
computed :

        case TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT:
                icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept = 0;
                if (val > 0) {
                        /* Translate value in seconds to number of
                         * retransmits */
                        while (icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept < 32 &&
                               val > ((TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT / HZ) <<
                                       icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept))
                                icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
                        icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
                }
                break;

==> rskq_defer_accept is used as a counter of retransmits.

But in tcp_minisocks.c, this counter is only checked. And in
fact, I have found no location which updates it. So I think
that what was intended was to decrease it in tcp_minisocks
whenever it is checked, which the trivial patch below does.

Robert Varga 657e9649e7 tcp: fix CONFIG_TCP_MD5SIG + CONFIG_PREEMPT timer BUG()
I have recently came across a preemption imbalance detected by:

<4>huh, entered ffffffff80644630 with preempt_count 00000102, exited with 00000101?
<0>------------[ cut here ]------------

with ffffffff80644630 being inet_twdr_hangman().

This appeared after I enabled CONFIG_TCP_MD5SIG and played with it a
bit, so I looked at what might have caused it.

One thing that struck me as strange is tcp_twsk_destructor(), as it
calls tcp_put_md5sig_pool() -- which entails a put_cpu(), causing the
detected imbalance. Found on 2.6.23.9, but 2.6.31 is affected as well,
as far as I can tell.

Wu Fengguang aa1330766c tcp: replace hard coded GFP_KERNEL with sk_allocation
This fixed a lockdep warning which appeared when doing stress
memory tests over NFS:

	inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.

	page reclaim => nfs_writepage => tcp_sendmsg => lock sk_lock

	mount_root => nfs_root_data => tcp_close => lock sk_lock =>
			tcp_send_fin => alloc_skb_fclone => page reclaim

David raised a concern that if the allocation fails in tcp_send_fin(), and it's
GFP_ATOMIC, we are going to yield() (which sleeps) and loop endlessly waiting
for the allocation to succeed.

But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks
weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could
loop endlessly under memory pressure.

the thing). Not that I assume that the rest of the tcp code
happily lives with such mind-boggling numbers :-). Alas, it
turned out to be impossible to set wmem to such numbers anyway,
yes I really tried a big sendfile after setting some wmem but
nothing happened :-). ...Tcp_wmem is int and so is sk_sndbuf...
So I hacked a bit variable to long and found out that it seems

David S. Miller ec0a196626 tcp: Revert 'process defer accept as established' changes.
This reverts two changesets, ec3c0982a2
("[TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established") and
the follow-on bug fix 9ae27e0adb
("tcp: Fix slab corruption with ipv6 and tcp6fuzz").

This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar
as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting
stuck.

Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems.  The new function
added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the
child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent
listening socket.

Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab
the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would
create an ABBA deadlock.  The normal ordering is parent listening
socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the
reverse lock ordering.

Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted:

----------------------------------------
>--- a/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>+++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>@@ -481,6 +481,11 @@ static void tcp_keepalive_timer (unsigned long data)
> 		goto death;
> 	}
>
>+	if (tp->defer_tcp_accept.request && sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED) {
>+		tcp_send_active_reset(sk, GFP_ATOMIC);
>+		goto death;

Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done()
will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should
release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for
freeing.
----------------------------------------

Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any
real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all
of the bugs:

----------------------------------------
Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only
is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really
so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole
to consume memory without control.
----------------------------------------

So revert this thing for now.

Change TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT implementation so that it transitions a
connection to ESTABLISHED after handshake is complete instead of
leaving it in SYN-RECV until some data arrvies. Place connection in
accept queue when first data packet arrives from slow path.

Benefits:
  - established connection is now reset if it never makes it
   to the accept queue

 - diagnostic state of established matches with the packet traces
   showing completed handshake

 - TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT timeouts are expressed in seconds and can now be
   enforced with reasonable accuracy instead of rounding up to next
   exponential back-off of syn-ack retry.

Denis V. Lunev fd80eb942a [INET]: Remove struct dst_entry *dst from request_sock_ops.rtx_syn_ack.
It looks like dst parameter is used in this API due to historical
reasons.  Actually, it is really used in the direct call to
tcp_v4_send_synack only.  So, create a wrapper for tcp_v4_send_synack
and remove dst from rtx_syn_ack.

Ilpo Järvinen e60402d0a9 [TCP]: Move sack_ok access to obviously named funcs & cleanup
Previously code had IsReno/IsFack defined as macros that were
local to tcp_input.c though sack_ok field has user elsewhere too
for the same purpose. This changes them to static inlines as
preferred according the current coding style and unifies the
access to sack_ok across multiple files. Magic bitops of sack_ok
for FACK and DSACK are also abstracted to functions with
appropriate names.

Note:
- One sack_ok = 1 remains but that's self explanary, i.e., it
  enables sack
- Couple of !IsReno cases are changed to tcp_is_sack
- There were no users for IsDSack => I dropped it

Eric Dumazet 54287cc178 [TCP]: Keep copied_seq, rcv_wup and rcv_next together.
I noticed in oprofile study a cache miss in tcp_rcv_established() to read
copied_seq.

ffffffff80400a80 <tcp_rcv_established>: /* tcp_rcv_established total: 4034293  
2.0400 */

 55493  0.0281 :ffffffff80400bc9:   mov    0x4c8(%r12),%eax copied_seq
543103  0.2746 :ffffffff80400bd1:   cmp    0x3e0(%r12),%eax   rcv_nxt    

if (tp->copied_seq == tp->rcv_nxt &&
        len - tcp_header_len <= tp->ucopy.len) {

In this function, the cache line 0x4c0 -> 0x500 is used only for this
reading 'copied_seq' field.

rcv_wup and copied_seq should be next to rcv_nxt field, to lower number of
active cache lines in hot paths. (tcp_rcv_established(), tcp_poll(), ...)

As you suggested, I changed tcp_create_openreq_child() so that these fields
are changed together, to avoid adding a new store buffer stall.

David Howells 65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

Refer to RFC2012, tcpAttemptFails is defined as following:
  tcpAttemptFails OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      Counter32
      MAX-ACCESS  read-only
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
              "The number of times TCP connections have made a direct

              connections have made a direct transition to the LISTEN
              state from the SYN-RCVD state."
      ::= { tcp 7 }

When I lookup into RFC793, I found that the state change should occured
under following condition:
  1. SYN-SENT -> CLOSED
     a) Received ACK,RST segment when SYN-SENT state.

  2. SYN-RCVD -> CLOSED
     b) Received SYN segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from LISTEN).
     c) Received RST segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from SYN-SENT).
     d) Received SYN segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from SYN-SENT).

  3. SYN-RCVD -> LISTEN
     e) Received RST segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from LISTEN).

In my test, those direct state transition can not be counted to
tcpAttemptFails.

Michael Chan b0da853703 [NET]: Add ECN support for TSO
In the current TSO implementation, NETIF_F_TSO and ECN cannot be
turned on together in a TCP connection.  The problem is that most
hardware that supports TSO does not handle CWR correctly if it is set
in the TSO packet.  Correct handling requires CWR to be set in the
first packet only if it is set in the TSO header.

This patch adds the ability to turn on NETIF_F_TSO and ECN using
GSO if necessary to handle TSO packets with CWR set.  Hardware
that handles CWR correctly can turn on NETIF_F_TSO_ECN in the dev->
features flag.

All TSO packets with CWR set will have the SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN set.  If
the output device does not have the NETIF_F_TSO_ECN feature set, GSO
will split the packet up correctly with CWR only set in the first
segment.

With help from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>.

Since ECN can always be enabled with TSO, the SOCK_NO_LARGESEND sock
flag is completely removed.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 8feaf0c0a5 [INET]: Generalise tcp_tw_bucket, aka TIME_WAIT sockets
This paves the way to generalise the rest of the sock ID lookup
routines and saves some bytes in TCPv4 TIME_WAIT sockets on distro
kernels (where IPv6 is always built as a module):

[root@qemu ~]# grep tw_sock /proc/slabinfo
tw_sock_TCPv6  0  0  128  31  1
tw_sock_TCP    0  0   96  41  1
[root@qemu ~]#

Now if a protocol wants to use the TIME_WAIT generic infrastructure it
only has to set the sk_prot->twsk_obj_size field with the size of its
inet_timewait_sock derived sock and proto_register will create
sk_prot->twsk_slab, for now its only for INET sockets, but we can
introduce timewait_sock later if some non INET transport protocolo
wants to use this stuff.

Next changesets will take advantage of this new infrastructure to
generalise even more TCP code.

[acme@toy net-2.6.14]$ grep built-in /tmp/before.size /tmp/after.size
/tmp/before.size: 188646   11764    5068  205478   322a6 net/ipv4/built-in.o

the future, when tcp_tw_bucket gets transformed into the struct
timewait_sock hierarchy.

tcp_destroy_sock also is eligible as soon as tcp_orphan_count gets
moved to sk_prot.

A cascade of incremental changes will ultimately make the tcp_lookup
functions be fully generic.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 0f7ff9274e [INET]: Just rename the TCP hashtable functions/structs to inet_
This is to break down the complexity of the series of patches,
making it very clear that this one just does:

1. renames tcp_ prefixed hashtable functions and data structures that
   were already mostly generic to inet_ to share it with DCCP and
   other INET transport protocols.

2. Removes not used functions (__tb_head & tb_head)

3. Removes some leftover prototypes in the headers (tcp_bucket_unlock &
   tcp_v4_build_header)

Next changesets will move tcp_sk(sk)->bind_hash to inet_sock so that we can
make functions such as tcp_inherit_port, __tcp_inherit_port, tcp_v4_get_port,
__tcp_put_port,  generic and get others like tcp_destroy_sock closer to generic
(tcp_orphan_count will go to sk->sk_prot to allow this).

Eventually most of these functions will be used passing the transport protocol
inet_hashinfo structure.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 6cbb0df788 [SOCK]: Introduce sk_setup_caps
From tcp_v4_setup_caps, that always is preceded by a call to
__sk_dst_set, so coalesce this sequence into sk_setup_caps, removing
one call to a TCP function in the IP layer.

Stephen Hemminger 317a76f9a4 [TCP]: Add pluggable congestion control algorithm infrastructure.
Allow TCP to have multiple pluggable congestion control algorithms.
Algorithms are defined by a set of operations and can be built in
or modules.  The legacy "new RENO" algorithm is used as a starting
point and fallback.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 0e87506fcc [NET] Generalise tcp_listen_opt
This chunks out the accept_queue and tcp_listen_opt code and moves
them to net/core/request_sock.c and include/net/request_sock.h, to
make it useful for other transport protocols, DCCP being the first one
to use it.

Next patches will rename tcp_listen_opt to accept_sock and remove the
inline tcp functions that just call a reqsk_queue_ function.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 60236fdd08 [NET] Rename open_request to request_sock
Ok, this one just renames some stuff to have a better namespace and to
dissassociate it from TCP:

struct open_request  -> struct request_sock
tcp_openreq_alloc    -> reqsk_alloc
tcp_openreq_free     -> reqsk_free
tcp_openreq_fastfree -> __reqsk_free

With this most of the infrastructure closely resembles a struct
sock methods subset.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 2e6599cb89 [NET] Generalise TCP's struct open_request minisock infrastructure
Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to
ease peer review.

Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn
has two new members:

->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep
->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for
  a specific protocol

The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a
class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection
oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones
in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an
open_request.

I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class
hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the
open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an
or_calltable.

Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per
open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-)

Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions
mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it
struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g,
etc.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
