syncookies: add support for ECN

2010-06-27T05:00:03Z

Allows use of ECN when syncookies are in effect by encoding ecn_ok into the syn-ack tcp timestamp. While at it, remove a uneeded #ifdef CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES. With CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=nm want_cookie is ifdef'd to 0 and gcc removes the "if (0)". Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

syncookies: do not store rcv_wscale in tcp timestamp

2010-06-27T05:00:03Z

As pointed out by Fernando Gont there is no need to encode rcv_wscale into the cookie. We did not use the restored rcv_wscale anyway; it is recomputed via tcp_select_initial_window(). Thus we can save 4 bits in the ts option space by removing rcv_wscale. In case window scaling was not supported, we set the (invalid) wscale value 0xf.

syncookies: check decoded options against sysctl settings

2010-06-16T21:42:15Z

Discard the ACK if we find options that do not match current sysctl settings. Previously it was possible to create a connection with sack, wscale, etc. enabled even if the feature was disabled via sysctl. Also remove an unneeded call to tcp_sack_reset() in cookie_check_timestamp: Both call sites (cookie_v4_check, cookie_v6_check) zero "struct tcp_options_received", hand it to tcp_parse_options() (which does not change tcp_opt->num_sacks/dsack) and then call cookie_check_timestamp(). Even if num_sacks/dsacks were changed, the structure is allocated on the stack and after cookie_check_timestamp returns only a few selected members are copied to the inet_request_sock.

syncookies: avoid unneeded tcp header flag double check

2010-06-05T09:23:14Z

caller: if (!th->rst && !th->syn && th->ack) callee: if (!th->ack) make the caller only check for !syn (common for 3whs), and move the !rst / ack test to the callee. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Refactor update of IPv6 flowi destination address for srcrt (RH) option

2010-06-02T14:08:31Z

There are more than a dozen occurrences of following code in the IPv6 stack: if (opt && opt->srcrt) { struct rt0_hdr *rt0 = (struct rt0_hdr *) opt->srcrt; ipv6_addr_copy(&final, &fl.fl6_dst); ipv6_addr_copy(&fl.fl6_dst, rt0->addr); final_p = &final; } Replace those with a helper. Note that the helper overrides final_p in all cases. This is ok as final_p was previously initialized to NULL when declared. Signed-off-by: Arnaud Ebalard Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window

2009-12-23T22:13:30Z

Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window size advertised by passive and active TCP connections. The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial receive window to the one prescribed by slow start. For short lived TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results in increased latency to complete the transaction. Support for setting initial congestion window is already supported using rtnetlink init_cwnd, but the feature is useless without the ability to set a larger TCP initial receive window. The rtnetlink init_rcvwnd allows increasing the TCP initial receive window, allowing TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window than the ones bounded by slow start.

tcp: Revert per-route SACK/DSACK/TIMESTAMP changes.

2009-12-16T04:56:42Z

It creates a regression, triggering badness for SYN_RECV sockets, for example: [19148.022102] Badness at net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c:293 [19148.022570] NIP: c02a0914 LR: c02a0904 CTR: 00000000 [19148.023035] REGS: eeecbd30 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (2.6.32) [19148.023496] MSR: 00029032 CR: 24002442 XER: 00000000 [19148.024012] TASK = eee9a820[1756] 'privoxy' THREAD: eeeca000 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: f55017a93f1a74d50244b1254b9a2bd7ac9bbf7d 022c3f7d82f0f1c68018696f2f027b87b9bb45c2 1aba721eba1d84a2defce45b950272cee1e6c72a cda42ebd67ee5fdf09d7057b5a4584d36fe8a335 345cda2fd695534be5a4494f1b59da9daed33663 dc343475ed062e13fc260acccaab91d7d80fd5b2 05eaade2782fb0c90d3034fd7a7d5a16266182bb 6a2a2d6bf8581216e08be15fcb563cfd6c430e1e Signed-off-by: David S.
