Documentation: fix sctp_wmem in ip-sysctl.rst

2022-08-11T10:48:40Z

[ Upstream commit aa709da0e032cee7c202047ecd75f437bb0126ed ] Since commit 1033990ac5b2 ("sctp: implement memory accounting on tx path"), SCTP has supported memory accounting on tx path where 'sctp_wmem' is used by sk_wmem_schedule(). So we should fix the description for this option in ip-sysctl.rst accordingly. v1->v2: - Improve the description as Marcelo suggested.

icmp: randomize the global rate limiter

2020-10-29T08:54:58Z

[ Upstream commit b38e7819cae946e2edf869e604af1e65a5d241c5 ] Keyu Man reported that the ICMP rate limiter could be used by attackers to get useful signal. Details will be provided in an upcoming academic publication. Our solution is to add some noise, so that the attackers no longer can get help from the predictable token bucket limiter.

tcp: add tcp_min_snd_mss sysctl

2019-06-17T17:51:56Z

commit 5f3e2bf008c2221478101ee72f5cb4654b9fc363 upstream. Some TCP peers announce a very small MSS option in their SYN and/or SYN/ACK messages. This forces the stack to send packets with a very high network/cpu overhead. Linux has enforced a minimal value of 48. Since this value includes the size of TCP options, and that the options can consume up to 40 bytes, this means that each segment can include only 8 bytes of payload. In some cases, it can be useful to increase the minimal value to a saner value. We still let the default to 48 (TCP_MIN_SND_MSS), for compatibility reasons. Note that TCP_MAXSEG socket option enforces a minimal value of (TCP_MIN_MSS). David Miller increased this minimal value in commit c39508d6f118 ("tcp: Make TCP_MAXSEG minimum more correct.") from 64 to 88. We might in the future merge TCP_MIN_SND_MSS and TCP_MIN_MSS.

ipv6: Add icmp_echo_ignore_all support for ICMPv6

2018-08-13T15:42:25Z

Preventing the kernel from responding to ICMP Echo Requests messages can be useful in several ways. The sysctl parameter 'icmp_echo_ignore_all' can be used to prevent the kernel from responding to IPv4 ICMP echo requests. For IPv6 pings, such a sysctl kernel parameter did not exist. Add the ability to prevent the kernel from responding to IPv6 ICMP echo requests through the use of the following sysctl parameter : /proc/sys/net/ipv6/icmp/echo_ignore_all. Update the documentation to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Virgile Jarry Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ipv4: Control SKB reprioritization after forwarding

2018-08-01T16:52:30Z

After IPv4 packets are forwarded, the priority of the corresponding SKB is updated according to the TOS field of IPv4 header. This overrides any prioritization done earlier by e.g. an skbedit action or ingress-qos-map defined at a vlan device. Such overriding may not always be desirable. Even if the packet ends up being routed, which implies this is an L3 network node, an administrator may wish to preserve whatever prioritization was done earlier on in the pipeline. Therefore introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior. Keep the default value at 1 to maintain backward-compatible behavior.
