net: sctp: trivial: update bug report in header comment

2013-08-09T18:33:02Z

With the restructuring of the lksctp.org site, we only allow bug reports through the SCTP mailing list linux-sctp@vger.kernel.org, not via SF, as SF is only used for web hosting and nothing more. While at it, also remove the obvious statement that bugs will be fixed and incooperated into the kernel. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: sctp: trivial: update mailing list address

2013-07-25T00:53:38Z

The SCTP mailing list address to send patches or questions to is linux-sctp@vger.kernel.org and not lksctp-developers@lists.sourceforge.net anymore. Therefore, update all occurences. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Neil Horman Acked-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: sctp: confirm route during forward progress

2013-07-09T19:49:56Z

This fix has been proposed originally by Vlad Yasevich. He says: When SCTP makes forward progress (receives a SACK that acks new chunks, renegs, or answeres 0-window probes) or when HB-ACK arrives, mark the route as confirmed so we don't unnecessarily send NUD probes. Having a simple SCTP client/server that exchange data chunks every 1sec, without this patch ARP requests are sent periodically every 40-60sec. With this fix applied, an ARP request is only done once right at the "session" beginning. Also, when clearing the related ARP cache entry manually during the session, a new request is correctly done. I have only "backported" this to net-next and tested that it works, so full credit goes to Vlad.

net: sctp: get rid of SCTP_DBG_TSNS entirely

2013-07-02T07:08:03Z

After having reworked the debugging framework, Neil and Vlad agreed to get rid of the leftover SCTP_DBG_TSNS code for a couple of reasons: We can use systemtap scripts to investigate these things, we now have pr_debug() helpers that make life easier, and if we really need anything else besides those tools, we will be forced to come up with something better than we have there. Therefore, get rid of this ifdef debugging code entirely for now.

net: sctp: rework debugging framework to use pr_debug and friends

2013-07-02T06:22:13Z

We should get rid of all own SCTP debug printk macros and use the ones that the kernel offers anyway instead. This makes the code more readable and conform to the kernel code, and offers all the features of dynamic debbuging that pr_debug() et al has, such as only turning on/off portions of debug messages at runtime through debugfs. The runtime cost of having CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled, but none of the debug statements printing, is negligible [1]. If kernel debugging is completly turned off, then these statements will also compile into "empty" functions. While we're at it, we also need to change the Kconfig option as it /now/ only refers to the ifdef'ed code portions in outqueue.c that enable further debugging/tracing of SCTP transaction fields. Also, since SCTP_ASSERT code was enabled with this Kconfig option and has now been removed, we transform those code parts into WARNs resp. where appropriate BUG_ONs so that those bugs can be more easily detected as probably not many people have SCTP debugging permanently turned on. To turn on all SCTP debugging, the following steps are needed: # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug # echo -n 'module sctp +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control This can be done more fine-grained on a per file, per line basis and others as described in [2].

sctp: fully initialize sctp_outq in sctp_outq_init

2013-06-14T01:05:24Z

In commit 2f94aabd9f6c925d77aecb3ff020f1cc12ed8f86 (refactor sctp_outq_teardown to insure proper re-initalization) we modified sctp_outq_teardown to use sctp_outq_init to fully re-initalize the outq structure. Steve West recently asked me why I removed the q->error = 0 initalization from sctp_outq_teardown. I did so because I was operating under the impression that sctp_outq_init would properly initalize that value for us, but it doesn't. sctp_outq_init operates under the assumption that the outq struct is all 0's (as it is when called from sctp_association_init), but using it in __sctp_outq_teardown violates that assumption. We should do a memset in sctp_outq_init to ensure that the entire structure is in a known state there instead.

net: sctp: sctp_outq: remove 'malloced' from its struct

2013-04-17T18:13:02Z

sctp_outq is embedded into sctp_association, and thus never kmalloced in any way. Also, malloced is always 0, thus kfree() is never called. Therefore, remove that dead piece of code. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: remove redundant check for timer pending state before del_timer

2013-02-04T18:26:49Z

As in del_timer() there has already placed a timer_pending() function to check whether the timer to be deleted is pending or not, it's unnecessary to check timer pending state again before del_timer() is called. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue Cc: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sctp: refactor sctp_outq_teardown to insure proper re-initalization

2013-01-17T23:39:56Z

Jamie Parsons reported a problem recently, in which the re-initalization of an association (The duplicate init case), resulted in a loss of receive window space. He tracked down the root cause to sctp_outq_teardown, which discarded all the data on an outq during a re-initalization of the corresponding association, but never reset the outq->outstanding_data field to zero. I wrote, and he tested this fix, which does a proper full re-initalization of the outq, fixing this problem, and hopefully future proofing us from simmilar issues down the road.
