dccp: Port redirection support for DCCP

2008-10-20T06:36:47Z

Commit a3116ac5c216fc3c145906a46df9ce542ff7dcf2 from 1st October ("tcp: Port redirection support for TCP") broke DCCP skb lookup by changing inet_csk_clone, which is used by DCCP to generate the child socket after the handshake. This patch updates DCCP to use 'loc_port' instead of 'sport', which fixes the problem, and thus inheriting port redirection support via the new interface.

dccp: Bug-Fix - AWL was never updated

2008-07-26T10:59:10Z

The AWL lower Ack validity window advances in proportion to GSS, the greatest sequence number sent. Updating AWL other than at connection setup (in the DCCP-Request sent by dccp_v{4,6}_connect()) was missing in the DCCP code. This bug lead to syslog messages such as "kernel: dccp_check_seqno: DCCP: Step 6 failed for DATAACK packet, [...] P.ackno exists or LAWL(82947089) <= P.ackno(82948208) <= S.AWH(82948728), sending SYNC..." The difference between AWL/AWH here is 1639 packets, while the expected value (the Sequence Window) would have been 100 (the default). A closer look showed that LAWL = AWL = 82947089 equalled the ISS on the Response. The patch now updates AWL with each increase of GSS. Further changes: ---------------- The patch also enforces more stringent checks on the ISS sequence number: * AWL is initialised to ISS at connection setup and remains at this value; * AWH is then always set to GSS (via dccp_update_gss()); * so on the first Request: AWL = AWH = ISS, and on the n-th Request: AWL = ISS, AWH = ISS + n. As a consequence, only Response packets that refer to Requests sent by this host will pass, all others are discarded. This is the intention and in effect implements the initial adjustments for AWL as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.1. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker Acked-by: Ian McDonald

dccp: Allow to distinguish original and retransmitted packets

2008-07-26T10:59:09Z

This patch allows the sender to distinguish original and retransmitted packets, which is in particular needed for the retransmission of DCCP-Requests: * the first Request uses ISS (generated in net/dccp/ip*.c), and sets GSS = ISS; * all retransmitted Requests use GSS' = GSS + 1, so that the n-th retransmitted Request has sequence number ISS + n (mod 48). To add generic support, the patch reorganises existing code so that: * icsk_retransmits == 0 for the original packet and * icsk_retransmits = n > 0 for the n-th retransmitted packet at the time dccp_transmit_skb() is called, via dccp_retransmit_skb(). Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing this problem out. Further changes: ---------------- * removed the `skb' argument from dccp_retransmit_skb(), since sk_send_head is used for all retransmissions (the exception is client-Acks in PARTOPEN state, but these do not use sk_send_head); * since sk_send_head always contains the original skb (via dccp_entail()), skb_cloned() never evaluated to true and thus pskb_copy() was never used.

dccp: Fix sparse warnings

2008-06-11T10:19:09Z

This patch fixes the following sparse warnings: * nested min(max()) expression: net/dccp/ccids/ccid3.c:91:21: warning: symbol '__x' shadows an earlier one net/dccp/ccids/ccid3.c:91:21: warning: symbol '__y' shadows an earlier one * Declaration of function prototypes in .c instead of .h file, resulting in "should it be static?" warnings. * Declared "struct dccpw" static (local to dccp_probe). * Disabled dccp_delayed_ack() - not fully removed due to RFC 4340, 11.3 ("Receivers SHOULD implement delayed acknowledgement timers ..."). * Used a different local variable name to avoid net/dccp/ackvec.c:293:13: warning: symbol 'state' shadows an earlier one net/dccp/ackvec.c:238:33: originally declared here * Removed unused functions `dccp_ackvector_print' and `dccp_ackvec_print'.

[DCCP]: Fix skb->cb conflicts with IP

2008-04-13T01:35:41Z

dev_queue_xmit() and the other IP output functions expect to get a skb with clear or properly initialized skb->cb. Unlike TCP and UDP, the dccp_skb_cb doesn't contain a struct inet_skb_parm at the beginning, so the DCCP-specific data is interpreted by the IP output functions. This can cause false negatives for the conditional POST_ROUTING hook invocation, making the packet bypass the hook. Add a inet_skb_parm/inet6_skb_parm union to the beginning of dccp_skb_cb to avoid clashes. Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON to make sure it fits in the cb.

[DCCP]: Introducing CCMPS

2008-01-28T22:57:59Z

This introduces a CCMPS field for setting a CCID-specific upper bound on the application payload size, as is defined in RFC 4340, section 14. Only the TX CCID is considered in setting this limit, since the RX CCID generates comparatively small (DCCP-Ack) feedback packets. The CCMPS field includes network and transport layer header lengths. The only current CCMPS customer is CCID4 (via RFC 4828). A wrapper is used to allow querying the CCMPS even at times where the CCID modules may not have been fully negotiated yet. In dccp_sync_mss() the variable `mss_now' has been renamed into `cur_mps', to reflect that we are dealing with an MPS, but not an MSS. Since the DCCP code closely follows the TCP code, the identifiers `dccp_sync_mss' and `dccps_mss_cache' have been kept, as they have direct TCP counterparts.

[DCCP]: Support inserting options during the 3-way handshake

2008-01-28T22:57:52Z

This provides a separate routine to insert options during the initial handshake. The main purpose is to conduct feature negotiation, for the moment the only user is the timestamp echo needed for the (CCID3) handshake RTT sample. Padding of options has been put into a small separate routine, to be shared among the two functions. This could also be used as a generic routine to finish inserting options. Also removed an `XXX' comment since its content was obvious. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker Signed-off-by: Ian McDonald Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[DCCP]: Support for server holding timewait state

2008-01-28T22:57:48Z

This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3. Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled via a socket option. Documentation for this socket option has been added. The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.
