      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.

      bonding: add some slack to arp monitoring time limits · da210f55
      Jiri Bohac authored
      
      
      Currently, all the time limits in the bonding ARP monitor are in
      multiples of arp_interval -- the time interval at which the ARP
      monitor is periodically scheduled.
      
      With a fast network round-trip and a little scheduling latency
      of the ARP monitor work, a limit of n*delta_in_ticks may
      effectively mean (n-1)*delta_in_ticks.
      
      This is fatal in case of n==1  (the link will stay down
      forever) and makes the behaviour non-deterministic in all the
      other cases.
      
      Add a delta_in_ticks/2 time slack to all the time limits.

      net: fix documentation of skb_needs_linearize(). · d1a53dfd
      Rami Rosen authored
      
      
      skb_needs_linearize() does not check highmem DMA as it does not call
      illegal_highdma() anymore, so there is no need to mention highmem DMA here.
      
      (Indeed, ~NETIF_F_SG flag, which is checked in skb_needs_linearize(), can
      be set when illegal_highdma() returns true, and we are assured that
      illegal_highdma() is invoked prior to skb_needs_linearize() as
      skb_needs_linearize() is a static method called only once.
      But ~NETIF_F_SG can be set not only there in this same invocation path.
      It can also be set when can_checksum_protocol() returns false).

      In ipv4_mtu there is some logic where we are testing for a non-zero value
      and a timer expiration, then setting the value to zero, and then testing if
      the value is zero we set it to a value based on the dst.  Instead of
      bothering with the extra steps it is easier to just cleanup the logic so
      that we set it to the dst based value if it is zero or if the timer has
      expired.

      This patch removes bus_id from mdio platform data, The reason to remove

      is no point in passing this in different variable.
      Also stmmac ethernet driver connects to phy with bus_id passed its
      platform data.
      So, having single bus-id is much simpler.

      Srinivas Kandagatla authored
      
      
      This patch fixes stmmac_pltfr_remove function, which is broken because,
      it is accessing plat variable via freed memory priv pointer which gets
      freed by free_netdev called from stmmac_dvr_remove.
      
      In short this patch caches the plat pointer in local variable before
      calling stmmac_dvr_remove to prevent code accessing freed memory.
      
      Without this patch any attempt to remove the stmmac device will fail as

      net:stmmac: Add check if mdiobus is registered in stmmac_mdio_unregister · a5cf5ce9
      Srinivas Kandagatla authored
      
      
      This patch adds a basic check in stmmac_mdio_unregister to see if mdio
      bus registeration for this driver was actually sucessfull or not.
      
      Use case here is, if BSP considers using mdio-gpio bus along with stmmac
      driver by passing mdio_bus_data as NULL in platform data.
      Call to stmmac_mdio_register with mdio_bus_data as NULL returns 0, which
      is a considered sucessfull call form stmmac. Then again when we unload
      the driver we just call stmmac_mdio_unregister, this is were the actual
      problem is stmmac-mdio code dont really know at this instance of calling
      that stmmac_mdio_register was actually successful.
      
      So Adding a check in stmmac_mdio_unregister is always safe.
      
      Without this patch stmmac driver calls stmmac_mdio_register from
      stmmac_release which Segfaults as mii bus was never registered at the
      first point.
      
      Originally the this bug was found when unloading an stmmac driver
      instance which uses mdio-gpio for smi access.

      the passive open side") changed the initRTO from 3secs to 1sec in
      accordance to RFC6298 (former RFC2988bis). This reduced the time till
      the last SYN retransmission packet gets sent from 93secs to 31secs.
      
      RFC1122 is stating that the retransmission should be done for at least 3
      minutes, but this seems to be quite high.
      
        "However, the values of R1 and R2 may be different for SYN
        and data segments.  In particular, R2 for a SYN segment MUST
        be set large enough to provide retransmission of the segment
        for at least 3 minutes.  The application can close the
        connection (i.e., give up on the open attempt) sooner, of
        course."
      
      This patch increases the value of TCP_SYN_RETRIES to the value of 6,
      providing a retransmission window of 63secs.
      
      The comments for SYN and SYNACK retries have also been updated to
      describe the current settings. The same goes for the documentation file
      "Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt".
