      net: implement emergency route cache rebulds when gc_elasticity is exceeded · 1080d709
      Neil Horman 提交于
      This is a patch to provide on demand route cache rebuilding.  Currently, our
      route cache is rebulid periodically regardless of need.  This introduced
      unneeded periodic latency.  This patch offers a better approach.  Using code
      provided by Eric Dumazet, we compute the standard deviation of the average hash
      bucket chain length while running rt_check_expire.  Should any given chain
      length grow to larger that average plus 4 standard deviations, we trigger an
      emergency hash table rebuild for that net namespace.  This allows for the common
      case in which chains are well behaved and do not grow unevenly to not incur any
      latency at all, while those systems (which may be being maliciously attacked),
      only rebuild when the attack is detected.  This patch take 2 other factors into
      account:
      1) chains with multiple entries that differ by attributes that do not affect the
      hash value are only counted once, so as not to unduly bias system to rebuilding
      if features like QOS are heavily used
      2) if rebuilding crosses a certain threshold (which is adjustable via the added
      sysctl in this patch), route caching is disabled entirely for that net
      namespace, since constant rebuilding is less efficient that no caching at all
      
      Tested successfully by me.

      tcp: Restore ordering of TCP options for the sake of inter-operability · fd6149d3
      Ilpo Järvinen 提交于
      This is not our bug! Sadly some devices cannot cope with the change
      of TCP option ordering which was a result of the recent rewrite of
      the option code (not that there was some particular reason steming
      from the rewrite for the reordering) though any ordering of TCP
      options is perfectly legal. Thus we restore the original ordering
      to allow interoperability with/through such broken devices and add
      some warning about this trap. Since the reordering just happened
      without any particular reason, this change shouldn't cost us
      anything.
      
      There are already couple of known failure reports (within close
      proximity of the last release), so the problem might be more
      wide-spread than a single device. And other reports which may
      be due to the same problem though the symptoms were less obvious.
      Analysis of one of the case revealed (with very high probability)
      that sack capability cannot be negotiated as the first option
      (SYN never got a response).

      tcp: should use number of sack blocks instead of -1 · 75e3d8db
      Ilpo Järvinen 提交于
      While looking for the recent "sack issue" I also read all eff_sacks
      usage that was played around by some relevant commit. I found
      out that there's another thing that is asking for a fix (unrelated
      to the "sack issue" though).
      
      This feature has probably very little significance in practice.
      Opposite direction timeout with bidirectional tcp comes to me as
      the most likely scenario though there might be other cases as
      well related to non-data segments we send (e.g., response to the
      opposite direction segment). Also some ACK losses or option space
      wasted for other purposes is necessary to prevent the earlier
      SACK feedback getting to the sender.
