ipv4: add a sock pointer to ip_queue_xmit()

2014-04-15T16:58:34+00:00

ip_queue_xmit() assumes the skb it has to transmit is attached to an
inet socket. Commit 31c70d5956fc ("l2tp: keep original skb ownership")
changed l2tp to not change skb ownership and thus broke this assumption.

One fix is to add a new 'struct sock *sk' parameter to ip_queue_xmit(),
so that we do not assume skb->sk points to the socket used by l2tp
tunnel.

inet: rename ir_loc_port to ir_num

2013-10-10T18:37:35+00:00

In commit 634fb979e8f ("inet: includes a sock_common in request_sock")
I forgot that the two ports in sock_common do not have same byte order :

skc_dport is __be16 (network order), but skc_num is __u16 (host order)

So sparse complains because ir_loc_port (mapped into skc_num) is
considered as __u16 while it should be __be16

Let rename ir_loc_port to ireq->ir_num (analogy with inet->inet_num),
and perform appropriate htons/ntohs conversions.

inet: includes a sock_common in request_sock

2013-10-10T04:08:07+00:00

TCP listener refactoring, part 5 :

We want to be able to insert request sockets (SYN_RECV) into main
ehash table instead of the per listener hash table to allow RCU
lookups and remove listener lock contention.

This patch includes the needed struct sock_common in front
of struct request_sock

This means there is no more inet6_request_sock IPv6 specific
structure.

Following inet_request_sock fields were renamed as they became
macros to reference fields from struct sock_common.
Prefix ir_ was chosen to avoid name collisions.

loc_port   -> ir_loc_port
loc_addr   -> ir_loc_addr
rmt_addr   -> ir_rmt_addr
rmt_port   -> ir_rmt_port
iif        -> ir_iif

dccp: fix bug in sequence number validation during connection setup

2012-03-03T16:02:52+00:00

This fixes a bug in the sequence number validation during the initial handshake.

The code did not treat the initial sequence numbers ISS and ISR as read-only and
did not keep state for GSR and GSS as required by the specification. This causes
problems with retransmissions during the initial handshake, causing the
budding connection to be reset.

This patch now treats ISS/ISR as read-only and tracks GSS/GSR as required.

dccp: combine the functionality of enqeueing and cloning

2011-07-04T18:36:47+00:00

Realising the following call pattern,
 * first dccp_entail() is called to enqueue a new skb and
 * then skb_clone() is called to transmit a clone of that skb,
this patch integrates both into the same function.

inet: Pass flowi to ->queue_xmit().

2011-05-08T22:28:28+00:00

This allows us to acquire the exact route keying information from the
protocol, however that might be managed.

It handles all of the possibilities, from the simplest case of storing
the key in inet->cork.fl to the more complex setup SCTP has where
individual transports determine the flow.

dccp: Policy-based packet dequeueing infrastructure

2010-12-07T12:47:12+00:00

This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of
TX packets and provides two policies:
 * a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and
 * a priority based policy (set via socket options).
Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write
queue (can be overridden via socket options).

The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority
identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field
is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary
data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.

dccp ccid-2: Schedule Sync as out-of-band mechanism

2010-11-15T06:12:00+00:00

The problem with Ack Vectors is that
  i) their length is variable and can in principle grow quite large,
 ii) it is hard to predict exactly how large they will be.

Due to the second point it seems not a good idea to reduce the MPS; in
particular when on average there is enough room for the Ack Vector and an
increase in length is momentarily due to some burst loss, after which the
Ack Vector returns to its normal/average length.

The solution taken by this patch is to subtract a minimum-expected Ack Vector
length from the MPS, and to defer any larger Ack Vectors onto a separate
Sync - but only if indeed there is no space left on the skb.

This patch provides the infrastructure to schedule Sync-packets for transporting
(urgent) out-of-band data. Its signalling is quicker than scheduling an Ack, since
it does not need to wait for new application data.
