2014-05-03tcp: remove in_flight parameter from cong_avoid() methodsEric Dumazet
Commit e114a710aa505 ("tcp: fix cwnd limited checking to improve congestion control") obsoleted in_flight parameter from tcp_is_cwnd_limited() and its callers. This patch does the removal as promised. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-05-02tcp: fix cwnd limited checking to improve congestion controlEric Dumazet
Yuchung discovered tcp_is_cwnd_limited() was returning false in slow start phase even if the application filled the socket write queue. All congestion modules take into account tcp_is_cwnd_limited() before increasing cwnd, so this behavior limits slow start from probing the bandwidth at full speed. The problem is that even if write queue is full (aka we are _not_ application limited), cwnd can be under utilized if TSO should auto defer or TCP Small queues decided to hold packets. So the in_flight can be kept to smaller value, and we can get to the point tcp_is_cwnd_limited() returns false. With TCP Small Queues and FQ/pacing, this issue is more visible. We fix this by having tcp_cwnd_validate(), which is supposed to track such things, take into account unsent_segs, the number of segs that we are not sending at the moment due to TSO or TSQ, but intend to send real soon. Then when we are cwnd-limited, remember this fact while we are processing the window of ACKs that comes back. For example, suppose we have a brand new connection with cwnd=10; we are in slow start, and we send a flight of 9 packets. By the time we have received ACKs for all 9 packets we want our cwnd to be 18. We implement this by setting tp->lsnd_pending to 9, and considering ourselves to be cwnd-limited while cwnd is less than twice tp->lsnd_pending (2*9 -> 18). This makes tcp_is_cwnd_limited() more understandable, by removing the GSO/TSO kludge, that tried to work around the issue. Note the in_flight parameter can be removed in a followup cleanup patch.

2014-04-30tcp_cubic: fix the range of delayed_ackLiu Yu
commit b9f47a3aaeab (tcp_cubic: limit delayed_ack ratio to prevent divide error) try to prevent divide error, but there is still a little chance that delayed_ack can reach zero. In case the param cnt get negative value, then ratio+cnt would overflow and may happen to be zero. As a result, min(ratio, ACK_RATIO_LIMIT) will calculate to be zero. In some old kernels, such as 2.6.32, there is a bug that would pass negative param, which then ultimately leads to this divide error. commit 5b35e1e6e9c (tcp: fix tcp_trim_head() to adjust segment count with skb MSS) fixed the negative param issue. However, it's safe that we fix the range of delayed_ack as well, to make sure we do not hit a divide by zero.

commit 0eba801b64cc8284d9024c7ece30415a2b981a72 tried to fix a race where nat initialisation can happen after ctnetlink-created conntrack has been created. However, it causes the nat module(s) to be loaded needlessly on systems that are not using NAT. Fortunately, we do not have to create null bindings in that case. conntracks injected via ctnetlink always have the CONFIRMED bit set, which prevents addition of the nat extension in nf_nat_ipv4/6_fn(). We only need to make sure that either no nat extension is added or that we've created both src and dst manips.

osd_primary_affinity array is indexed into incorrectly when checking for non-default primary-affinity values. This nullifies the impact of the rest of the apply_primary_affinity() and results in misdirected requests. if (osds[i] != CRUSH_ITEM_NONE && osdmap->osd_primary_affinity[i] != ^^^ CEPH_OSD_DEFAULT_PRIMARY_AFFINITY) { For a pool with size 2, this always ends up checking osd0 and osd1 primary_affinity values, instead of the values that correspond to the osds in question. E.g., given a [2,3] up set and a [max,max,0,max] primary affinity vector, requests are still sent to osd2, because both osd0 and osd1 happen to have max primary_affinity values and therefore we return from apply_primary_affinity() early on the premise that all osds in the given set have max (default) values.

2014-04-27sctp: reset flowi4_oif parameter on route lookupXufeng Zhang
commit 813b3b5db83 (ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is in output route lookups.) introduces another regression which is very similar to the problem of commit e6b45241c (ipv4: reset flowi parameters on route connect) wants to fix: Before we call ip_route_output_key() in sctp_v4_get_dst() to get a dst that matches a bind address as the source address, we have already called this function previously and the flowi parameters have been initialized including flowi4_oif, so when we call this function again, the process in __ip_route_output_key() will be different because of the setting of flowi4_oif, and we'll get a networking device which corresponds to the inputted flowi4_oif as the output device, this is wrong because we'll never hit this place if the previously returned source address of dst match one of the bound addresses. To reproduce this problem, a vlan setting is enough: # ifconfig eth0 up # route del default # vconfig add eth0 2 # vconfig add eth0 3 # ifconfig eth0.2 10.0.1.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 # route add default gw 10.0.1.254 dev eth0.2 # ifconfig eth0.3 10.0.0.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 # ip rule add from 10.0.0.14 table 4 # ip route add table 4 default via 10.0.0.254 src 10.0.0.14 dev eth0.3 # sctp_darn -H 10.0.0.14 -P 36422 -h 10.1.4.134 -p 36422 -s -I You'll detect that all the flow are routed to eth0.2(10.0.1.254).

Channel context refcount is protected by chanctx_mtx. Accessing the value without holding the mutex is racy. RCU section didn't guarantee anything here. Theoretically ieee80211_channel_switch() could fail to see refcount change and read "1" instead of, e.g. "2". This means mac80211 could accept CSA even though it shouldn't have.

2014-04-25mac80211: split ieee80211_free_chanctx()Michal Kazior
The function did a little too much. Split it up so the code can be easily reused in the future. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
