      sctp: support sctp_diag in kernel
      
      This patchset will add sctp_diag module to implement diag interface on
      sctp in kernel.
      
      For a listening sctp endpoint, we will just dump it's ep info.
      For a sctp connection, we will the assoc info and it's ep info.
      
      The ss dump will looks like:
      
      [iproute2]# ./misc/ss --sctp  -n -l
      State      Recv-Q Send-Q   Local Address:Port       Peer Address:Port

        - ESTAB  0      0        127.0.0.1%lo:1234        127.0.0.1:4321
      LISTEN     0      128      172.16.254.254:8888      *:*
        - ESTAB  0      0        172.16.254.254%eth1:8888 172.16.253.253:8888
        - ESTAB  0      0        172.16.254.254%eth1:8888 172.16.1.1:8888
        - ESTAB  0      0        172.16.254.254%eth1:8888 172.16.1.2:8888
        - ESTAB  0      0        172.16.254.254%eth1:8888 172.16.2.1:8888
        - ESTAB  0      0        172.16.254.254%eth1:8888 172.16.2.2:8888
        - ESTAB  0      0        172.16.254.254%eth1:8888 172.16.3.1:8888
        - ESTAB  0      0        172.16.254.254%eth1:8888 172.16.3.2:8888
      LISTEN     0      0        127.0.0.1:4321           *:*
        - ESTAB  0      0        127.0.0.1%lo:4321        127.0.0.1:1234
      
      The entries with '- ESTAB' are the assocs, some of them may belong to
      the same endpoint. So we will dump the parent endpoint first, like the
      entry with 'LISTEN'. then dump the assocs. ep and assocs entries will
      be dumped in right order so that ss can show them in tree format easily.
      
      Besides, this patchset also simplifies sctp proc codes, cause it has
      some similar codes with sctp diag in sctp transport traversal.
      
      v1->v2:
        1. inet_diag_get_handler needs to return it as const.
        2. merge 5/7 into 2/7 of v1.
      
      v2->v3:
        do some improvements and fixes in patch 1-4, see the details in
        each patch's comment.

      sctp: fix some rhashtable functions using in sctp proc/diag · 53fa1036
      Xin Long authored
      When rhashtable_walk_init return err, no release function should be
      called, and when rhashtable_walk_start return err, we should only invoke
      rhashtable_walk_exit to release the source.
      
      But now when sctp_transport_walk_start return err, we just call
      rhashtable_walk_stop/exit, and never care about if rhashtable_walk_init
      or start return err, which is so bad.
      
      We will fix it by calling rhashtable_walk_exit if rhashtable_walk_start
      return err in sctp_transport_walk_start, and if sctp_transport_walk_start
      return err, we do not need to call sctp_transport_walk_stop any more.
      
      For sctp proc, we will use 'iter->start_fail' to decide if we will call
      rhashtable_walk_stop/exit.

      sctp: add the sctp_diag.c file · 8f840e47
      Xin Long authored
      This one will implement all the interface of inet_diag, inet_diag_handler.
      which includes sctp_diag_dump, sctp_diag_dump_one and sctp_diag_get_info.
      
      It will work as a module, and register inet_diag_handler when loading.
      
      v2->v3:
      - fix the mistake in inet_assoc_attr_size().
      
      - change inet_diag_msg_laddrs_fill() name to inet_diag_msg_sctpladdrs_fill.
      
      - change inet_diag_msg_paddrs_fill() name to inet_diag_msg_sctpaddrs_fill.
      
      - add inet_diag_msg_sctpinfo_fill() to make asoc/ep fill code clearer.
      
      - add inet_diag_msg_sctpasoc_fill() to make asoc fill code clearer.
      
      - merge inet_asoc_diag_fill() and inet_ep_diag_fill() to
        inet_sctp_diag_fill().
      
      - call sctp_diag_get_info() directly, instead by handler, cause the caller
        is in the same file with it.
      
      - call lock_sock in sctp_tsp_dump_one() to make sure we call get sctp info
        safely.
      
      - after lock_sock(sk), we should check sk != assoc->base.sk.
      
      - change mem[SK_MEMINFO_WMEM_ALLOC] to asoc->sndbuf_used for asoc dump when
        asoc->ep->sndbuf_policy is set. don't use INET_DIAG_MEMINFO attr any more.

      For some main variables in sctp.ko, we couldn't export it to other modules,
      so we have to define some api to access them.
      
      It will include sctp transport and endpoint's traversal.
      
      There are some transport traversal functions for sctp_diag, we can also
      use it for sctp_proc. cause they have the similar situation to traversal
      transport.

      v2->v3:
      - we will not use list_for_each_safe in sctp_get_sctp_info, cause
        all the callers of it will use lock_sock.
      
      - fix the holes in struct sctp_info with __reserved* field.
        because sctp_diag is a new feature, and sctp_info is just for now,
        it may be changed in the future.

      sctp: simplify sk_receive_queue locking · 311b2177
      Marcelo Ricardo Leitner authored
      SCTP already serializes access to rcvbuf through its sock lock:
      sctp_recvmsg takes it right in the start and release at the end, while
      rx path will also take the lock before doing any socket processing. On
      sctp_rcv() it will check if there is an user using the socket and, if
      there is, it will queue incoming packets to the backlog. The backlog
      processing will do the same. Even timers will do such check and
      re-schedule if an user is using the socket.
      
      Simplifying this will allow us to remove sctp_skb_list_tail and get ride
      of some expensive lockings.  The lists that it is used on are also
      mangled with functions like __skb_queue_tail and __skb_unlink in the
      same context, like on sctp_ulpq_tail_event() and sctp_clear_pd().
      sctp_close() will also purge those while using only the sock lock.
      
      Therefore the lockings performed by sctp_skb_list_tail() are not
      necessary. This patch removes this function and replaces its calls with
      just skb_queue_splice_tail_init() instead.
      
      The biggest gain is at sctp_ulpq_tail_event(), because the events always
      contain a list, even if it's queueing a single skb and this was
      triggering expensive calls to spin_lock_irqsave/_irqrestore for every
      data chunk received.
      
      As SCTP will deliver each data chunk on a corresponding recvmsg, the
      more effective the change will be.
      Before this patch, with chunks with 30 bytes:

      Last known hot point during SYNFLOOD attack is the clearing

      It is not needed for a listener, so we move it where it matters.

      tcp: do not mess with listener sk_wmem_alloc · b3d05147
      Eric Dumazet authored
      When removing sk_refcnt manipulation on synflood, I missed that
      using skb_set_owner_w() was racy, if sk->sk_wmem_alloc had already
      transitioned to 0.
      
      We should hold sk_refcnt instead, but this is a big deal under attack.
      (Doing so increase performance from 3.2 Mpps to 3.8 Mpps only)
      
      In this patch, I chose to not attach a socket to syncookies skb.
      
      Performance is now 5 Mpps instead of 3.2 Mpps.
      
      Following patch will remove last known false sharing in
      tcp_rcv_state_process()

      qlge: Replace create_singlethread_workqueue with alloc_ordered_workqueue · ac18dd9e
      Amitoj Kaur Chawla authored
      Replace deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue with
      alloc_ordered_workqueue.
      
      Work items include getting tx/rx frame sizes, resetting MPI processor,
      setting asic recovery bit so ordering seems necessary as only one work
      item should be in queue/executing at any given time, hence the use of
      alloc_ordered_workqueue.
      
      WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set since ethernet devices seem to sit in
      memory reclaim path, so to guarantee forward progress regardless of
      memory pressure.

      This series addresses some smaller issues regarding the link setup
      algorithm. The first commit fixes a rare bug we have discovered during
      testing; the second one may have some future impact on cluster
      scalabilty, while remaining ones can be regarded as cosmetic in
      a wider sense of the word.

      tipc: let first message on link be a state message · 34b9cd64
      Jon Paul Maloy authored
      According to the link FSM, a received traffic packet can take a link
      from state ESTABLISHING to ESTABLISHED, but the link can still not be
      fully set up in one atomic operation. This means that even if the the
      very first packet on the link is a traffic packet with sequence number
      1 (one), it has to be dropped and retransmitted.
      
      This can be avoided if we let the mentioned packet be preceded by a
      LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE message, which takes up the endpoint before the
      arrival of the traffic.
      
      We add this small feature in this commit.
      
      This is a fully compatible change.

      tipc: ensure that first packets on link are sent in order · de7e07f9
      Jon Paul Maloy authored
      In some link establishment scenarios we see that packet #2 may be sent
      out before packet #1, forcing the receiver to demand retransmission of
      the missing packet. This is harmless, but may cause confusion among
      people tracing the packet flow.
      
      Since this is extremely easy to fix, we do so by adding en extra send
      call to the bearer immediately after the link has come up.

      Jon Paul Maloy authored
      The function tipc_link_timeout() is unnecessary complex, and can
      easily be made more readable.
      
      We do that with this commit. The only functional change is that we
      remove a redundant test for whether the broadcast link is up or not.

      tipc: reduce transmission rate of reset messages when link is down · 88e8ac70
      Jon Paul Maloy authored
      When a link is down, it will continuously try to re-establish contact
      with the peer by sending out a RESET or an ACTIVATE message at each
      timeout interval. The default value for this interval is currently
      375 ms. This is wasteful, and may become a problem in very large
      clusters with dozens or hundreds of nodes being down simultaneously.
      
      We now introduce a simple backoff algorithm for these cases. The
      first five messages are sent at default rate; thereafter a message
      is sent only each 16th timer interval.
      
      This will cover the vast majority of link recycling cases, since the
      endpoint starting last will transmit at the higher speed, and the link
      should normally be established well be before the rate needs to be
      reduced.
      
      The only case where we will see a degradation of link re-establishment
      times is when the endpoints remain intact, and a glitch in the
      transmission media is causing the link reset. We will then experience
      a worst-case re-establishing time of 6 seconds, something we deem
      acceptable.

      tipc: guarantee peer bearer id exchange after reboot · 634696b1
      Jon Paul Maloy authored
      When a link endpoint is going down locally, e.g., because its interface
      is being stopped, it will spontaneously send out a RESET message to
      its peer, informing it about this fact. This saves the peer from
      detecting the failure via probing, and hence gives both speedier and
      less resource consuming failure detection on the peer side.
      
      According to the link FSM, a receiver of a RESET message, ignoring the
      reason for it, must now consider the sender ready to come back up, and
      starts periodically sending out ACTIVATE messages to the peer in order
      to re-establish the link. Also, according to the FSM, the receiver of
      an ACTIVATE message can now go directly to state ESTABLISHED and start
      sending regular traffic packets. This is a well-proven and robust FSM.
      
      However, in the case of a reboot, there is a small possibilty that link
      endpoint on the rebooted node may have been re-created with a new bearer
      identity between the moment it sent its (pre-boot) RESET and the moment
      it receives the ACTIVATE from the peer. The new bearer identity cannot
      be known by the peer according to this scenario, since traffic headers
      don't convey such information. This is a problem, because both endpoints
      need to know the correct value of the peer's bearer id at any moment in
      time in order to be able to produce correct link events for their users.
      
      The only way to guarantee this is to enforce a full setup message
      exchange (RESET + ACTIVATE) even after the reboot, since those messages
      carry the bearer idientity in their header.
      
      In this commit we do this by introducing and setting a "stopping" bit in
      the header of the spontaneously generated RESET messages, informing the
      peer that the sender will not be immediately ready to re-establish the
      link. A receiver seeing this bit must act as if this were a locally
      detected connectivity failure, and hence has to go through a full two-
      way setup message exchange before any link can be re-established.
      
      Although never reported, this problem seems to have always been around.
      
      This protocol addition is fully backwards compatible.
