Since tpacket_fill_skb() parses the protocol field in ethernet frames' headers, it's easy to see if any passed frame is a VLAN one and account for the extended size. But as the real protocol does not turn up before tpacket_fill_skb() runs which in turn also checks the frame length, move the max frame length calculation into the function.

This may be necessary when the SKB is passed to other layers on the go, which check the protocol field on their own. An example is a VLAN packet sent out using AF_PACKET on a bridge interface. The bridging code checks the SKB size, accounting for any VLAN header only if the protocol field is set accordingly. Note that eth_type_trans() sets skb->dev to the passed argument, so this can be skipped in packet_snd() for ethernet frames, as well.

When sctp sits on IPv6, sctp_transport_dst_check pass cookie as ZERO, as a result ip6_dst_check always fail out. This behaviour makes transport->dst useless, because every sctp_packet_transmit must look for valid dst. Add a dst_cookie into sctp_transport, and set the cookie whenever we get new dst for sctp_transport. So dst validness could be checked against it. Since I have split genid for IPv4 and IPv6, also delete/add IPv6 address will also bump IPv6 genid. So issues we discussed in: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=137404469219410&w=4 have all been sloved for this patch.

With the addition of the suppress operation (7764a45a ("fib_rules: add .suppress operation") we rely on accurate error reporting of the fib_rules.actions. fib6_rule_action always returned -EAGAIN in case we could not find a matching route and 0 if a rule was matched. This also included a match for blackhole or prohibited rule actions which could get suppressed by the new logic. So adapt fib6_rule_action to always return the correct error code as its counterpart fib4_rule_action does. This also fixes a possiblity of nullptr-deref where we don't find a table, thus rt == NULL. Because the condition rt != ip6_null_entry still holdes it seems we could later get a nullptr bug on dereference rt->dst. v2: a) Fixed a brain fart in the commit msg (the rule => a table, etc). No changes to the patch.

This change adds a new operation to the fib_rules_ops struct; it allows the suppression of routing decisions if certain criteria are not met by its results. The first implemented constraint is a minimum prefix length added to the structures of routing rules. If a rule is added with a minimum prefix length >0, only routes meeting this threshold will be considered. Any other (more general) routing table entries will be ignored. When configuring a system with multiple network uplinks and default routes, it is often convinient to reference the main routing table multiple times - but omitting the default route. Using this patch and a modified "ip" utility, this can be achieved by using the following command sequence: $ ip route add table secuplink default via 10.42.23.1 $ ip rule add pref 100 table main prefixlength 1 $ ip rule add pref 150 fwmark 0xA table secuplink With this setup, packets marked 0xA will be processed by the additional routing table "secuplink", but only if no suitable route in the main routing table can be found. By using a minimal prefixlength of 1, the default route (/0) of the table "main" is hidden to packets processed by rule 100; packets traveling to destinations with more specific routing entries are processed as usual.

In order to allow producers to send more packets, we want to keep sk_wmem_alloc from reaching sk_sndbuf limit. We can do that by accounting one byte per skb in netem queues, so that TCP stack is not fooled too much.

Current net name space has only one genid for both IPv4 and IPv6, it has below drawbacks: - Add/delete an IPv4 address will invalidate all IPv6 routing table entries. - Insert/remove XFRM policy will also invalidate both IPv4/IPv6 routing table entries even when the policy is only applied for one address family.

Idea of this patch is to add optional limitation of number of unsent bytes in TCP sockets, to reduce usage of kernel memory. TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted : Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room for the application to queue more bytes) For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time (or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg()) This patch adds two ways to set the limit : 1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT 2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value) Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect. This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls when using non blocking sockets, and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets. Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is defined as : Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol) Tested: netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458) lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 45458 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 45458 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y lpq83:~# echo 131072 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 20567 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 20567 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches.

If RTT is not available because Karn's check has failed or no new packet is acked, use the RTT measured from SACK to estimate the RTO. The sender can continue to estimate the RTO during loss recovery or reordering event upon receiving non-partial ACKs. This also changes when the RTO is re-armed. Previously it is only re-armed when some data is cummulatively acknowledged (i.e., SND.UNA advances), but now it is re-armed whenever RTT estimator is updated. This feature is particularly useful to reduce spurious timeout for buffer bloat including cellular carriers [1], and RTT estimation on reordering events.

Take RTT sample if an ACK selectively acks some sequences that have never been retransmitted. The Karn's algorithm does not apply even if that ACK (s)acks other retransmitted sequences, because it must been generated by an original but perhaps out-of-order packet. There is no ambiguity. In case when multiple blocks are newly sacked because of ACK losses the earliest block is used to measure RTT, similar to cummulative ACKs. Such RTT samples allow the sender to estimate the RTO during loss recovery and packet reordering events. It is still useful even with TCP timestamps. That's because during these events the SND.UNA may not advance preventing RTT samples from TS ECR (thus the FLAG_ACKED check before calling tcp_ack_update_rtt()). Therefore this new RTT source is complementary to existing ACK and TS RTT mechanisms. This patch does not update the RTO. It is done in the next patch.

Prefer packet timings to TS-ecr for RTT measurements when both sources are available. That's because broken middle-boxes and remote peer can return packets with corrupted TS ECR fields. Similarly most congestion controls that require RTT signals favor timing-based sources as well. Also check for bad TS ECR values to avoid RTT blow-ups. It has happened on production Web servers.
