By modyfing genlmsg_put() to take a genl_family and by adding genlmsg_put_reply() the process of constructing the netlink and generic netlink headers is simplified.

As Steve left netpoll beast, hopefully not to return soon. He noticed that the header was messy. He straightened it up and polished it a little, then waved goodbye. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>

The beast had a long and not very happy history. At one point, a friend (netdump) had asked that he open up a little. Well, the friend was long gone now, and the beast had this dangling piece hanging (netpoll_queue). It wasn't hard to stitch the netpoll_queue back in where it belonged and make everything tidy.

The netpoll beast was still not happy. If the beast got clogged pipes, it tended to stare blankly off in space for a long time. The problem couldn't be completely fixed because the beast talked with irq's disabled. But it could be made less painful and shorter. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>

When the netpoll beast got busy, he tended to babble. Instead of talking out of his large mouth as normal, he tended to try to snort out other orifices. This lead to words (skbs) ending up in odd places (like NIT) that he did not intend. The normal way of talking wouldn't work, but he could at least change to using the same tone all the time.

The beast was not always healthy. When it was sick, it tended to be laconic and not tell anyone the real problem. A few small changes had it telling the world about its problems, if they really wanted to hear. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>

When the netpoll beast got really busy, it tended to clog things, so it stored them for later. But the beast was putting all it's skb's in one basket. This was bad because maybe some pipes were clogged and others were not. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>

After looking harder, Steve noticed that the netpoll beast leaked a little every time it shutdown for a nap. Not a big leak, but a nuisance kind of thing. He took out his refcount duct tape and patched the leak. It was overkill since there was already other locking in that area, but it looked clean and wouldn't attract fleas.

It was a dark and stormy night when Steve first saw the netpoll beast. The beast was odd, and misshapen but not extremely ugly. "Let me take off one of your warts" he said. This wart is where you tried to make an skb list yourself. If the beast had ever run out of memory, he would have stupefied himself unnecessarily. The first try was painful, so he tried again till the bleeding stopped. And again, and again... Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>

Do not traverse the list of ack vector records [proportional to window size] when we know we will not find what we are looking for. This is especially useful because ack vectors are checked twice: 1) Upon parsing of options. 2) Upon notification of a new ack. All of the work will occur during check #1. Therefore, when check #2 is performed, no new work will be done. This is now "detected" and there is no performance hit when doing #2.

This patch does not change code; it performs some trivial clean/tidy-ups: * removal of a `debug_prefix' string in favour of the already existing dccp_role(sk) * add documentation of structures and constants * separated out the cases for invalid packets (step 1 of the packet validation) * removing duplicate statements * combining declaration & initialisation Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

Resolves the problem that if IPv6 was configured `y' and DCCP `m' then dccp_ipv6 was not built as a module. With this change, dccp_ipv6 is built as a module whenever DCCP *OR* IPv6 are configured as modules; it will be built-in only if both DCCP = `y' and IPV6 = `y'.

Throughout the TCP/DCCP (and tunnelling) code, it often happens that the return code of a transmit function needs to be tested against NET_XMIT_CN which is a value that does not indicate a strict error condition. This patch uses a macro for these recurring situations which is consistent with the already existing macro net_xmit_errno, saving on duplicated code.

This patch implements SELinux kernel support for DCCP (http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/DCCP), which is similar in operation to TCP in terms of connected state between peers. The SELinux support for DCCP is thus modeled on existing handling of TCP. A new DCCP socket class is introduced, to allow protocol differentation. The permissions for this class inherit all of the socket permissions, as well as the current TCP permissions (node_bind, name_bind etc). IPv4 and IPv6 are supported, although labeled networking is not, at this stage. Patches for SELinux userspace are at: http://people.redhat.com/jmorris/selinux/dccp/user/ I've performed some basic testing, and it seems to be working as expected. Adding policy support is similar to TCP, the only real difference being that it's a different protocol.

This * resolves a FIXME - DCCPv6 connections started all with an initial sequence number of 1; * provides a redirection `secure_dccpv6_sequence_number' in case the init_sequence_v6 code should be updated later; * concentrates the update of S.GAR into dccp_connect_init(); * removes a duplicate dccp_update_gss() in ipv4.c; * uses inet->dport instead of usin->sin_port, due to the following assignment in dccp_v4_connect(): inet->dport = usin->sin_port; Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

This patch removes the following redundancies: 1) The test skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6) in dccp_v6_init_sequence is always true since * dccp_v6_conn_request() is the only calling function * dccp_v6_conn_request() redirects all skb's with ETH_P_IP to dccp_v4_conn_request() 2) The first argument, `struct sock *sk', of dccp_v{4,6}_init_sequence() is never used. (This is similar for tcp_v{4,6}_init_sequence, an analogous patch has been submitted to netdev and merged.) By the way - are the `sport' / `dport' arguments in the right order? I have made them consistent among calls but they seem to be in the reverse order. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

In order to make their function clearer and obtain a consistent naming scheme to identify sysctls, all existing DCCP sysctls have been prefixed with `sysctl_dccp', following the same convention as used by TCP. Feature-specific sysctls retain the `feat' in the middle, although the `default' has been dropped, since it is obvious from use. Also removed a duplicate `dccp_feat_default_sequence_window' in ipv4.c. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation). It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code. The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values. This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet. Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries (also a bit like in TCP). Lastly, added documentation of all existing DCCP sysctls. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

This updates program documentation: spell out precise conditions about which packets are eligible for retransmission (which is actually quite hard to extract from RFC 4340). It is based on the following table derived from RFC 4340: +-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+ | Type | Retransmit? | Remark | +-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+ | Request | in client-REQUEST state | sec. 8.1.1 | | Response | NEVER | SHOULD NOT, 8.1.3 | | Data | NEVER | unreliable protocol | | Ack | possible in client-PARTOPEN | sec. 8.1.5 | | DataAck | NEVER | unreliable protocol | | CloseReq | only in server-CLOSEREQ state | MUST, sec. 8.3 | | Close | in node-CLOSING state | MUST, sec. 8.3 | +-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+ | Reset | only in response to other packets | | Sync | only in response to sequence-invalid packets (7.5.4) | | SyncAck | only in response to Sync packets | +-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+ Hence the only packets eligible for retransmission are: * Requests in client-REQUEST state (sec. 8.1.1) * Acks in client-PARTOPEN state (sec. 8.1.5) * CloseReq in server-CLOSEREQ state (sec. 8.3) * Close in node-CLOSING state (sec. 8.3) I had meant to put in a check for these types too, but have left that for later.

This patch does the following: a) introduces variable-length checksums as specified in [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2] b) provides necessary socket options and documentation as to how to use them c) basic support and infrastructure for the Minimum Checksum Coverage feature [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2.1]: acceptability tests, user notification and user interface In addition, it (1) fixes two bugs in the DCCPv4 checksum computation: * pseudo-header used checksum_len instead of skb->len * incorrect checksum coverage calculation based on dccph_x (2) removes dccp_v4_verify_checksum() since it reduplicates code of the checksum computation; code calling this function is updated accordingly. (3) now uses skb_checksum(), which is safer than checksum_partial() if the sk_buff has is a non-linear buffer (has pages attached to it). (4) fixes an outstanding TODO item: * If P.CsCov is too large for the packet size, drop packet and return. The code has been tested with applications, the latest version of tcpdump now comes with support for partial DCCP checksums.
