sctp: remove prsctp_param from sctp_chunk

2016-09-30T06:07:05+00:00

Now sctp uses chunk->prsctp_param to save the prsctp param for all the
prsctp polices, we didn't need to introduce prsctp_param to sctp_chunk.
We can just use chunk->sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for RTX and BUF polices,
and reuse msg->expires_at for TTL policy, as the prsctp polices and old
expires policy are mutual exclusive.

This patch is to remove prsctp_param from sctp_chunk, and reuse msg's
expires_at for TTL and chunk's sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for RTX and BUF
polices.

Note that sctp can't use chunk's sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for TTL policy,
as it needs a u64 variables to save the expires_at time.

This one also fixes the "netperf-Throughput_Mbps -37.2% regression"
issue.

sctp: move sent_count to the memory hole in sctp_chunk

2016-09-30T06:07:05+00:00

Now pahole sctp_chunk, it has 2 memory holes:
   struct sctp_chunk {
	struct list_head           list;
	atomic_t                   refcnt;
	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
	...
	long unsigned int          prsctp_param;
	int                        sent_count;
	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

This patch is to move up sent_count to fill the 1st one and eliminate
the 2nd one.

It's not just another struct compaction, it also fixes the "netperf-
Throughput_Mbps -37.2% regression" issue when overloading the CPU.

sctp: avoid identifying address family many times for a chunk

2016-07-14T01:10:14+00:00

Identifying address family operations during rx path is not something
expensive but it's ugly to the eye to have it done multiple times,
specially when we already validated it during initial rx processing.

This patch takes advantage of the now shared sctp_input_cb and make the
pointer to the operations readily available.

sctp: allow GSO frags to access the chunk too

2016-07-14T01:10:14+00:00

SCTP will try to access original IP headers on sctp_recvmsg in order to
copy the addresses used. There are also other places that do similar access
to IP or even SCTP headers. But after 90017accff61 ("sctp: Add GSO
support") they aren't always there because they are only present in the
header skb.

SCTP handles the queueing of incoming data by cloning the incoming skb
and limiting to only the relevant payload. This clone has its cb updated
to something different and it's then queued on socket rx queue. Thus we
need to fix this in two moments.

For rx path, not related to socket queue yet, this patch uses a
partially copied sctp_input_cb to such GSO frags. This restores the
ability to access the headers for this part of the code.

Regarding the socket rx queue, it removes iif member from sctp_event and
also add a chunk pointer on it.

With these changes we're always able to reach the headers again.

The biggest change here is that now the sctp_chunk struct and the
original skb are only freed after the application consumed the buffer.
Note however that the original payload was already like this due to the
skb cloning.

For iif, SCTP's IPv4 code doesn't use it, so no change is necessary.
IPv6 now can fetch it directly from original's IPv6 CB as the original
skb is still accessible.

In the future we probably can simplify sctp_v*_skb_iif() stuff, as
sctp_v4_skb_iif() was called but it's return value not used, and now
it's not even called, but such cleanup is out of scope for this change.

sctp: allow others to use sctp_input_cb

2016-07-14T01:10:13+00:00

We process input path in other files too and having access to it is
nice, so move it to a header where it's shared.

sctp: implement prsctp PRIO policy

2016-07-11T20:25:39+00:00

prsctp PRIO policy is a policy to abandon lower priority chunks when
asoc doesn't have enough snd buffer, so that the current chunk with
higher priority can be queued successfully.

Similar to TTL/RTX policy, we will set the priority of the chunk to
prsctp_param with sinfo->sinfo_timetolive in sctp_set_prsctp_policy().
So if PRIO policy is enabled, msg->expire_at won't work.

asoc->sent_cnt_removable will record how many chunks can be checked to
remove. If priority policy is enabled, when the chunk is queued into
the out_queue, we will increase sent_cnt_removable. When the chunk is
moved to abandon_queue or dequeue and free, we will decrease
sent_cnt_removable.

In sctp_sendmsg, we will check if there is enough snd buffer for current
msg and if sent_cnt_removable is not 0. Then try to abandon chunks in
sctp_prune_prsctp when sendmsg from the retransmit/transmited queue, and
free chunks from out_queue in right order until the abandon+free size >
msg_len - sctp_wfree. For the abandon size, we have to wait until it
sends FORWARD TSN, receives the sack and the chunks are really freed.

sctp: implement prsctp TTL policy

2016-07-11T20:25:39+00:00

prsctp TTL policy is a policy to abandon chunks when they expire
at the specific time in local stack. It's similar with expires_at
in struct sctp_datamsg.

This patch uses sinfo->sinfo_timetolive to set the specific time for
TTL policy. sinfo->sinfo_timetolive is also used for msg->expires_at.
So if prsctp_enable or TTL policy is not enabled, msg->expires_at
still works as before.

sctp: add SCTP_PR_ASSOC_STATUS on sctp sockopt

2016-07-11T20:25:39+00:00

This patch adds SCTP_PR_ASSOC_STATUS to sctp sockopt, which is used
to dump the prsctp statistics info from the asoc. The prsctp statistics
includes abandoned_sent/unsent from the asoc. abandoned_sent is the
count of the packets we drop packets from retransmit/transmited queue,
and abandoned_unsent is the count of the packets we drop from out_queue
according to the policy.

Note: another option for prsctp statistics dump described in rfc is
SCTP_PR_STREAM_STATUS, which is used to dump the prsctp statistics
info from each stream. But by now, linux doesn't yet have per stream
statistics info, it needs rfc6525 to be implemented. As the prsctp
statistics for each stream has to be based on per stream statistics,
we will delay it until rfc6525 is done in linux.

sctp: add SCTP_PR_SUPPORTED on sctp sockopt

2016-07-11T20:25:38+00:00

According to section 4.5 of rfc7496, prsctp_enable should be per asoc.
We will add prsctp_enable to both asoc and ep, and replace the places
where it used net.sctp->prsctp_enable with asoc->prsctp_enable.

ep->prsctp_enable will be initialized with net.sctp->prsctp_enable, and
asoc->prsctp_enable will be initialized with ep->prsctp_enable. We can
also modify it's value through sockopt SCTP_PR_SUPPORTED.

sctp: Add GSO support

2016-06-03T23:37:21+00:00

SCTP has this pecualiarity that its packets cannot be just segmented to
(P)MTU. Its chunks must be contained in IP segments, padding respected.
So we can't just generate a big skb, set gso_size to the fragmentation
point and deliver it to IP layer.

This patch takes a different approach. SCTP will now build a skb as it
would be if it was received using GRO. That is, there will be a cover
skb with protocol headers and children ones containing the actual
segments, already segmented to a way that respects SCTP RFCs.

With that, we can tell skb_segment() to just split based on frag_list,
trusting its sizes are already in accordance.

This way SCTP can benefit from GSO and instead of passing several
packets through the stack, it can pass a single large packet.

v2:
- Added support for receiving GSO frames, as requested by Dave Miller.
- Clear skb->cb if packet is GSO (otherwise it's not used by SCTP)
- Added heuristics similar to what we have in TCP for not generating
  single GSO packets that fills cwnd.
v3:
- consider sctphdr size in skb_gso_transport_seglen()
- rebased due to 5c7cdf339af5 ("gso: Remove arbitrary checks for
  unsupported GSO")
