      tcp: use PRR to reduce cwin in CWR state · 684bad11
      Yuchung Cheng authored
      Use proportional rate reduction (PRR) algorithm to reduce cwnd in CWR state,
      in addition to Recovery state. Retire the current rate-halving in CWR.
      When losses are detected via ACKs in CWR state, the sender enters Recovery
      state but the cwnd reduction continues and does not restart.
      
      Rename and refactor cwnd reduction functions since both CWR and Recovery
      use the same algorithm:
      tcp_init_cwnd_reduction() is new and initiates reduction state variables.
      tcp_cwnd_reduction() is previously tcp_update_cwnd_in_recovery().
      tcp_ends_cwnd_reduction() is previously  tcp_complete_cwr().
      
      The rate halving functions and logic such as tcp_cwnd_down(), tcp_min_cwnd(),
      and the cwnd moderation inside tcp_enter_cwr() are removed. The unused
      parameter, flag, in tcp_cwnd_reduction() is also removed.

      The rx_urb_size is set to the same value for every device
      supported by this driver.  No need to keep a per-device
      data structure to do that. Replacing with a macro constant.
      
      This was the last device specific info, and removing it
      allows us to delete the sierra_net_info_data struct.

      Merge branch 'tcp_fastopen_server' · 1bed966c
      David S. Miller authored
      Jerry Chu says:
      
      ====================
      This patch series provides the server (passive open) side code
      for TCP Fast Open. Together with the earlier client side patches
      it completes the TCP Fast Open implementation.
      
      The server side Fast Open code accepts data carried in the SYN
      packet with a valid Fast Open cookie, and passes it to the
      application right away, allowing application to send back response
      data, all before TCP's 3-way handshake finishes.
      
      A simple cookie scheme together with capping the number of
      outstanding TFO requests (still in TCP_SYN_RECV state) to a limit
      per listener forms the main line of defense against spoofed SYN
      attacks.
      
      For more details about TCP Fast Open see our IETF internet draft
      at http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-fastopen-01.txt
      and a research paper at
      http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2011/papers/1569470463.pdf
      
      A prototype implementation was first developed by Sivasankar
      Radhakrishnan (sivasankar@cs.ucsd.edu).
      
      A patch based on an older version of Linux kernel has been
      undergoing internal tests at Google for the past few months.

      tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - main code path · 168a8f58
      Jerry Chu authored
      This patch adds the main processing path to complete the TFO server
      patches.
      
      A TFO request (i.e., SYN+data packet with a TFO cookie option) first
      gets processed in tcp_v4_conn_request(). If it passes the various TFO
      checks by tcp_fastopen_check(), a child socket will be created right
      away to be accepted by applications, rather than waiting for the 3WHS
      to finish.
      
      In additon to the use of TFO cookie, a simple max_qlen based scheme
      is put in place to fend off spoofed TFO attack.
      
      When a valid ACK comes back to tcp_rcv_state_process(), it will cause
      the state of the child socket to switch from either TCP_SYN_RECV to
      TCP_ESTABLISHED, or TCP_FIN_WAIT1 to TCP_FIN_WAIT2. At this time
      retransmission will resume for any unack'ed (data, FIN,...) segments.

      tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - support TFO listeners · 8336886f
      Jerry Chu authored
      This patch builds on top of the previous patch to add the support
      for TFO listeners. This includes -
      
      1. allocating, properly initializing, and managing the per listener
      fastopen_queue structure when TFO is enabled
      
      2. changes to the inet_csk_accept code to support TFO. E.g., the
      request_sock can no longer be freed upon accept(), not until 3WHS
      finishes
      
      3. allowing a TCP_SYN_RECV socket to properly poll() and sendmsg()
      if it's a TFO socket
      
      4. properly closing a TFO listener, and a TFO socket before 3WHS
      finishes
      
      5. supporting TCP_FASTOPEN socket option
      
      6. modifying tcp_check_req() to use to check a TFO socket as well
      as request_sock
      
      7. supporting TCP's TFO cookie option
      
      8. adding a new SYN-ACK retransmit handler to use the timer directly
      off the TFO socket rather than the listener socket. Note that TFO
      server side will not retransmit anything other than SYN-ACK until
      the 3WHS is completed.
      
      The patch also contains an important function
      "reqsk_fastopen_remove()" to manage the somewhat complex relation
      between a listener, its request_sock, and the corresponding child
      socket. See the comment above the function for the detail.

      tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - header & support functions · 10467163
      Jerry Chu authored
      This patch adds all the necessary data structure and support
      functions to implement TFO server side. It also documents a number
      of flags for the sysctl_tcp_fastopen knob, and adds a few Linux
      extension MIBs.
      
      In addition, it includes the following:
      
      1. a new TCP_FASTOPEN socket option an application must call to
      supply a max backlog allowed in order to enable TFO on its listener.
      
      2. A number of key data structures:
      "fastopen_rsk" in tcp_sock - for a big socket to access its
      request_sock for retransmission and ack processing purpose. It is
      non-NULL iff 3WHS not completed.
      
      "fastopenq" in request_sock_queue - points to a per Fast Open
      listener data structure "fastopen_queue" to keep track of qlen (# of
      outstanding Fast Open requests) and max_qlen, among other things.
      
      "listener" in tcp_request_sock - to point to the original listener
      for book-keeping purpose, i.e., to maintain qlen against max_qlen
      as part of defense against IP spoofing attack.
      
      3. various data structure and functions, many in tcp_fastopen.c, to
      support server side Fast Open cookie operations, including
      /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen_key to allow manual rekeying.
