      tcp: reduce spurious retransmits due to transient SACK reneging · 5ae344c9
      Neal Cardwell 提交于
      This commit reduces spurious retransmits due to apparent SACK reneging
      by only reacting to SACK reneging that persists for a short delay.
      
      When a sequence space hole at snd_una is filled, some TCP receivers
      send a series of ACKs as they apparently scan their out-of-order queue
      and cumulatively ACK all the packets that have now been consecutiveyly
      received. This is essentially misbehavior B in "Misbehaviors in TCP
      SACK generation" ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, April
      2011, so we suspect that this is from several common OSes (Windows
      2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP). However, this issue has also
      been seen in other cases, e.g. the netdev thread "TCP being hoodwinked
      into spurious retransmissions by lack of timestamps?" from March 2014,
      where the receiver was thought to be a BSD box.
      
      Since snd_una would temporarily be adjacent to a previously SACKed
      range in these scenarios, this receiver behavior triggered the Linux
      SACK reneging code path in the sender. This led the sender to clear
      the SACK scoreboard, enter CA_Loss, and spuriously retransmit
      (potentially) every packet from the entire write queue at line rate
      just a few milliseconds before the ACK for each packet arrives at the
      sender.
      
      To avoid such situations, now when a sender sees apparent reneging it
      does not yet retransmit, but rather adjusts the RTO timer to give the
      receiver a little time (max(RTT/2, 10ms)) to send us some more ACKs
      that will restore sanity to the SACK scoreboard. If the reneging
      persists until this RTO then, as before, we clear the SACK scoreboard
      and enter CA_Loss.
      
      A 10ms delay tolerates a receiver sending such a stream of ACKs at
      56Kbit/sec. And to allow for receivers with slower or more congested
      paths, we wait for at least RTT/2.
      
      We validated the resulting max(RTT/2, 10ms) delay formula with a mix
      of North American and South American Google web server traffic, and
      found that for ACKs displaying transient reneging:
      
       (1) 90% of inter-ACK delays were less than 10ms
       (2) 99% of inter-ACK delays were less than RTT/2
      
      In tests on Google web servers this commit reduced reneging events by
      75%-90% (as measured by the TcpExtTCPSACKReneging counter), without
      any measurable impact on latency for user HTTP and SPDY requests.

      sctp: Fixup v4mapped behaviour to comply with Sock API · 299ee123
      Jason Gunthorpe 提交于
      The SCTP socket extensions API document describes the v4mapping option as
      follows:
      
      8.1.15.  Set/Clear IPv4 Mapped Addresses (SCTP_I_WANT_MAPPED_V4_ADDR)
      
         This socket option is a Boolean flag which turns on or off the
         mapping of IPv4 addresses.  If this option is turned on, then IPv4
         addresses will be mapped to V6 representation.  If this option is
         turned off, then no mapping will be done of V4 addresses and a user
         will receive both PF_INET6 and PF_INET type addresses on the socket.
         See [RFC3542] for more details on mapped V6 addresses.
      
      This description isn't really in line with what the code does though.
      
      Introduce addr_to_user (renamed addr_v4map), which should be called
      before any sockaddr is passed back to user space. The new function
      places the sockaddr into the correct format depending on the
      SCTP_I_WANT_MAPPED_V4_ADDR option.
      
      Audit all places that touched v4mapped and either sanely construct
      a v4 or v6 address then call addr_to_user, or drop the
      unnecessary v4mapped check entirely.
      
      Audit all places that call addr_to_user and verify they are on a sycall
      return path.
      
      Add a custom getname that formats the address properly.
      
      Several bugs are addressed:
       - SCTP_I_WANT_MAPPED_V4_ADDR=0 often returned garbage for
         addresses to user space
       - The addr_len returned from recvmsg was not correct when
         returning AF_INET on a v6 socket
       - flowlabel and scope_id were not zerod when promoting
         a v4 to v6
       - Some syscalls like bind and connect behaved differently
         depending on v4mapped
      
      Tested bind, getpeername, getsockname, connect, and recvmsg for proper
      behaviour in v4mapped = 1 and 0 cases.

      net: kernel-doc compliant documentation for net_device · 536721b1
      Karoly Kemeny 提交于
      Net_device is a vast and important structure, but it has no kernel-doc
      compliant documentation. This patch extracts the comments from the structure
      to clean it up, and let the scripts extract documentation from it. I know that
      the patch is big, but it's just reordering of comments into the appropriate
      form, and adding a few more, for the missing members.

      net: stmmac: Support devicetree configs for mcast and ucast filter entries · 3b57de95
      Vince Bridgers 提交于
      This patch adds and modifies code to support multiple Multicast and Unicast
      Synopsys MAC filter configurations. The default configuration is defined to
      support legacy driver behavior, which is 64 Multicast bins. The Unicast
      filter code previously assumed all controllers support 32 or 16 Unicast
      addresses based on controller version number, but this has been corrected
      to support a default of 1 Unicast address. The filter configuration may
      be specified through the devicetree using a Synopsys specific device tree
      entry. This information was verified with Synopsys through
      Synopsys Support Case #8000684337 and shared with the maintainer.

      ip: make IP identifiers less predictable · 04ca6973
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      In "Counting Packets Sent Between Arbitrary Internet Hosts", Jeffrey and
      Jedidiah describe ways exploiting linux IP identifier generation to
      infer whether two machines are exchanging packets.
      
      With commit 73f156a6 ("inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count"), we
      changed IP id generation, but this does not really prevent this
      side-channel technique.
      
      This patch adds a random amount of perturbation so that IP identifiers
      for a given destination [1] are no longer monotonically increasing after
      an idle period.
      
      Note that prandom_u32_max(1) returns 0, so if generator is used at most
      once per jiffy, this patch inserts no hole in the ID suite and do not
      increase collision probability.
      
      This is jiffies based, so in the worst case (HZ=1000), the id can
      rollover after ~65 seconds of idle time, which should be fine.
      
      We also change the hash used in __ip_select_ident() to not only hash
      on daddr, but also saddr and protocol, so that ICMP probes can not be
      used to infer information for other protocols.
      
      For IPv6, adds saddr into the hash as well, but not nexthdr.
      
      If I ping the patched target, we can see ID are now hard to predict.
