This patch implements a cleaner fix for the memory leak problem of the
original unix datagram getpeersec patch. Instead of creating a
security context each time a unix datagram is sent, we only create the
security context when the receiver requests it.
This new design requires modification of the current
unix_getsecpeer_dgram LSM hook and addition of two new hooks, namely,
secid_to_secctx and release_secctx. The former retrieves the security
context and the latter releases it. A hook is required for releasing
the security context because it is up to the security module to decide
how that's done. In the case of Selinux, it's a simple kfree
operation.

When I tested linux kernel 2.6.71.7 about statistics
"ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates", and found that it couldn't increase
correctly. The criteria is RFC 2465:
ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of output datagram fragments that have
been generated as a result of fragmentation at
this output interface."
::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 15 }
I think there are two issues in Linux kernel.
1st:
RFC2465 specifies the counter is "The number of output datagram
fragments...". I think increasing this counter after output a fragment
successfully is better. And it should not be increased even though a
fragment is created but failed to output.
2nd:
If we send a big ICMP/ICMPv6 echo request to a host, and receive
ICMP/ICMPv6 echo reply consisted of some fragments. As we know that in
Linux kernel first fragmentation occurs in ICMP layer(maybe saying
transport layer is better), but this is not the "real"
fragmentation,just do some "pre-fragment" -- allocate space for date,
and form a frag_list, etc. The "real" fragmentation happens in IP layer
-- set offset and MF flag and so on. So I think in "fast path" for
ip_fragment/ip6_fragment, if we send a fragment which "pre-fragment" by
upper layer we should also increase "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates".

Based upon guidance from Alexey Kuznetsov.
When linger2 is active, we check to see if the fin_wait2
timeout is longer than the timewait. If it is, we schedule
the keepalive timer for the difference between the timewait
timeout and the fin_wait2 timeout.
When this orphan socket is seen by tcp_keepalive_timer()
it will try to transform this fin_wait2 socket into a
fin_wait2 mini-socket, again if linger2 is active.
Not all paths were setting this initial keepalive timer correctly.
The tcp input path was doing it correctly, but tcp_close() wasn't,
potentially making the socket linger longer than it really needs to.

Refer to RFC2012, tcpAttemptFails is defined as following:
tcpAttemptFails OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of times TCP connections have made a direct
transition to the CLOSED state from either the SYN-SENT
state or the SYN-RCVD state, plus the number of times TCP
connections have made a direct transition to the LISTEN
state from the SYN-RCVD state."
::= { tcp 7 }
When I lookup into RFC793, I found that the state change should occured
under following condition:
1. SYN-SENT -> CLOSED
a) Received ACK,RST segment when SYN-SENT state.
2. SYN-RCVD -> CLOSED
b) Received SYN segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from LISTEN).
c) Received RST segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from SYN-SENT).
d) Received SYN segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from SYN-SENT).
3. SYN-RCVD -> LISTEN
e) Received RST segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from LISTEN).
In my test, those direct state transition can not be counted to
tcpAttemptFails.

I think there is still a problem with the AIMD parameter update in
HighSpeed TCP code.
Line 125~138 of the code (net/ipv4/tcp_highspeed.c):
/* Update AIMD parameters */
if (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd) {
while (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd &&
ca->ai < HSTCP_AIMD_MAX - 1)
ca->ai++;
} else if (tp->snd_cwnd < hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd) {
while (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd &&
ca->ai > 0)
ca->ai--;
In fact, the second part (decreasing ca->ai) never decreases since the
while loop's inequality is in the reverse direction. This leads to
unfairness with multiple flows (once a flow happens to enjoy a higher
ca->ai, it keeps enjoying that even its cwnd decreases)
Here is a tentative fix (I also added a comment, trying to keep the
change clear):

This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6. This is based on a patch
by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>. His original description is:
This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks
restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from
"dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction.
This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used
to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO
over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the
TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6
will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO.
In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get
cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't
get TSO packets created by TCP layer.
SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet.
SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature.
UFO is supported over IPv6 also
The following table shows there is significant improvement in
throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo.

This patch generalises the TSO-specific bits from sk_setup_caps by adding
the sk_gso_type member to struct sock. This makes sk_setup_caps generic
so that it can be used by TCPv6 or UFO.
The only catch is that whoever uses this must provide a GSO implementation
for their protocol which I think is a fair deal :) For now UFO continues to
live without a GSO implementation which is OK since it doesn't use the sock
caps field at the moment.

In the current TSO implementation, NETIF_F_TSO and ECN cannot be
turned on together in a TCP connection. The problem is that most
hardware that supports TSO does not handle CWR correctly if it is set
in the TSO packet. Correct handling requires CWR to be set in the
first packet only if it is set in the TSO header.
This patch adds the ability to turn on NETIF_F_TSO and ECN using
GSO if necessary to handle TSO packets with CWR set. Hardware
that handles CWR correctly can turn on NETIF_F_TSO_ECN in the dev->
features flag.
All TSO packets with CWR set will have the SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN set. If
the output device does not have the NETIF_F_TSO_ECN feature set, GSO
will split the packet up correctly with CWR only set in the first
segment.
With help from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>.
Since ECN can always be enabled with TSO, the SOCK_NO_LARGESEND sock
flag is completely removed.

ss and /proc/net/tcp have 2 fields called rx_queue and tx_queue. These
fields do not mean much for listening sockets. This patch uses one of these
unused fields(rx_queue) to export the accept queue len for listening sockets.

When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain),
we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware.
Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that
code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY. Packets with this
bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit
NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST. If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb
is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the
hardware if it passes the header check.
This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag. The same method
can be used to implement TSO ECN support. We simply have to mark packets
with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them. The GSO engine can either fully segment
the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for
further segmentation.

Fix checksum problems in the GSO code path for CHECKSUM_HW packets.
The ipv4 TCP pseudo header checksum has to be adjusted for GSO
segmented packets.
The adjustment is needed because the length field in the pseudo-header
changes. However, because we have the inequality oldlen > newlen, we
know that delta = (u16)~oldlen + newlen is still a 16-bit quantity.
This also means that htonl(delta) + th->check still fits in 32 bits.
Therefore we don't have to use csum_add on this operations.

There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which
is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning
that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. For
those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64,
powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower
code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var
on those platforms.
This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x,
raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu
implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that
have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

This patch segments GSO packets received by the IPsec stack. This can
happen when a NIC driver injects GSO packets into the stack which are
then forwarded to another host.
The primary application of this is going to be Xen where its backend
driver may inject GSO packets into dom0.
Of course this also can be used by other virtualisation schemes such as
VMWare or UML since the tap device could be modified to inject GSO packets

Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So
let's merge them.
They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.
I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.

The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised. So we can
replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but
is more general.
Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear
or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that.
Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's
useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's
either non-linear or cloned.
Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it
anymore. If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

Add a secmark field to IP and NF conntracks, so that security markings
on packets can be copied to their associated connections, and also
copied back to packets as required. This is similar to the network
mark field currently used with conntrack, although it is intended for
enforcement of security policy rather than network policy.

Many of the TCP congestion methods all just use ssthresh
as the minimum congestion window on decrease. Rather than
duplicating the code, just have that be the default if that
handle in the ops structure is not set.
Minor behaviour change to TCP compound. It probably wants
to use this (ssthresh) as lower bound, rather than ssthresh/2
because the latter causes undershoot on loss.

TCP Veno module is a new congestion control module to improve TCP
performance over wireless networks. The key innovation in TCP Veno is
the enhancement of TCP Reno/Sack congestion control algorithm by using
the estimated state of a connection based on TCP Vegas. This scheme
significantly reduces "blind" reduction of TCP window regardless of
the cause of packet loss.
This work is based on the research paper "TCP Veno: TCP Enhancement
for Transmission over Wireless Access Networks." C. P. Fu, S. C. Liew,
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, Feb. 2003.

TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only
the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of
bandwidth as targeted by TCP. Available from:
http://www.ece.rice.edu/~akuzma/Doc/akuzma/TCP-LP.pdf
Original Author:
Aleksandar Kuzmanovic <akuzma@northwestern.edu>
See http://www-ece.rice.edu/networks/TCP-LP/ for their implementation.
As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from
the original TCP-LP implementation:
o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking
within cong_avoid.
o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped
on checking and updating.
o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, sicne
OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular.
o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within
pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code.
o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in
tcp_time_stamp format.

Call Forwarding doesn't need to create an expectation if both peers can
reach each other without our help. The internal_net_addr parameter
lets the user explicitly specify a single network where this is true,
but is not very flexible and even fails in the common case that calls
will both be forwarded to outside parties and inside parties. Use an
optional heuristic based on routing instead, the assumption is that
if bpth the outgoing device and the gateway are equal, both peers can
reach each other directly.

Now that we have xfrm_mode objects we can move the transport mode specific
input decapsulation code into xfrm_mode_transport. This removes duplicate
code as well as unnecessary header movement in case of tunnel mode SAs
since we will discard the original IP header immediately.
This also fixes a minor bug for transport-mode ESP where the IP payload
length is set to the correct value minus the header length (with extension
headers for IPv6).
Of course the other neat thing is that we no longer have to allocate
temporary buffers to hold the IP headers for ESP and IPComp.

The number of locks used to manage afinfo structures can easily be reduced
down to one each for policy and state respectively. This is based on the
observation that the write locks are only held by module insertion/removal
which are very rare events so there is no need to further differentiate
between the insertion of modules like ipv6 versus esp6.
The removal of the read locks in xfrm4_policy.c/xfrm6_policy.c might look
suspicious at first. However, after you realise that nobody ever takes
the corresponding write lock you'll feel better :)
As far as I can gather it's an attempt to guard against the removal of
the corresponding modules. Since neither module can be unloaded at all
we can leave it to whoever fixes up IPv6 unloading :)
