[DCCP]: Handle timestamps on Request/Response exchange separately

2008-01-28T22:57:51+00:00

In DCCP, timestamps can occur on packets anytime, CCID3 uses a timestamp(/echo) on the Request/Response
exchange. This patch addresses the following situation:
	* timestamps are recorded on the listening socket;
	* Responses are sent from dccp_request_sockets;
	* suppose two connections reach the listening socket with very small time in between:
	* the first timestamp value gets overwritten by the second connection request.

This is not really good, so this patch separates timestamps into
 * those which are received by the server during the initial handshake (on dccp_request_sock);
 * those which are received by the client or the client after connection establishment.

As before, a timestamp of 0 is regarded as indicating that no (meaningful) timestamp has been
received (in addition, a warning message is printed if hosts send 0-valued timestamps).

The timestamp-echoing now works as follows:
 * when a timestamp is present on the initial Request, it is placed into dreq, due to the
   call to dccp_parse_options in dccp_v{4,6}_conn_request;
 * when a timestamp is present on the Ack leading from RESPOND => OPEN, it is copied over
   from the request_sock into the child cocket in dccp_create_openreq_child;
 * timestamps received on an (established) dccp_sock are treated as before.

Since Elapsed Time is measured in hundredths of milliseconds (13.2), the new dccp_timestamp()
function is used, as it is expected that the time between receiving the timestamp and
sending the timestamp echo will be very small against the wrap-around time. As a byproduct,
this allows smaller timestamping-time fields.

Furthermore, inserting the Timestamp Echo option has been taken out of the block starting with
'!dccp_packet_without_ack()', since Timestamp Echo can be carried on any packet (5.8 and 13.3).

[DCCP]: Allow to parse options on Request Sockets

2008-01-28T22:57:50+00:00

The option parsing code currently only parses on full sk's. This causes a problem for
options sent during the initial handshake (in particular timestamps and feature-negotiation
options). Therefore, this patch extends the option parsing code with an additional argument
for request_socks: if it is non-NULL, options are parsed on the request socket, otherwise
the normal path (parsing on the sk) is used.

Subsequent patches, which implement feature negotiation during connection setup, make use
of this facility.

[DCCP]: Support for server holding timewait state

2008-01-28T22:57:48+00:00

This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server
holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3.

Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled
via a socket option. Documentation for this socket option has been added.

The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases
of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.

[DCCP]: Integrate state transitions for passive-close

2008-01-28T22:55:13+00:00

This adds the necessary state transitions for the two forms of passive-close

 * PASSIVE_CLOSE    - which is entered when a host   receives a Close;
 * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ - which is entered when a client receives a CloseReq.

Here is a detailed account of what the patch does in each state.

1) Receiving CloseReq

  The pseudo-code in 8.5 says:

     Step 13: Process CloseReq
          If P.type == CloseReq and S.state < CLOSEREQ,
              Generate Close
              S.state := CLOSING
              Set CLOSING timer.

  This means we need to address what to do in CLOSED, LISTEN, REQUEST, RESPOND, PARTOPEN, and OPEN.

   * CLOSED:         silently ignore - it may be a late or duplicate CloseReq;
   * LISTEN/RESPOND: will not appear, since Step 7 is performed first (we know we are the client);
   * REQUEST:        perform Step 13 directly (no need to enqueue packet);
   * OPEN/PARTOPEN:  enter PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ so that the application has a chance to process unread data.

  When already in PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ, no second CloseReq is enqueued. In any other state, the CloseReq is ignored.
  I think that this offers some robustness against rare and pathological cases: e.g. a simultaneous close where
  the client sends a Close and the server a CloseReq. The client will then be retransmitting its Close until it
  gets the Reset, so ignoring the CloseReq while in state CLOSING is sane.

2) Receiving Close

  The code below from 8.5 is unconditional.

     Step 14: Process Close
          If P.type == Close,
              Generate Reset(Closed)
              Tear down connection
              Drop packet and return

  Thus we need to consider all states:
   * CLOSED:           silently ignore, since this can happen when a retransmitted or late Close arrives;
   * LISTEN:           dccp_rcv_state_process() will generate a Reset ("No Connection");
   * REQUEST:          perform Step 14 directly (no need to enqueue packet);
   * RESPOND:          dccp_check_req() will generate a Reset ("Packet Error") -- left it at that;
   * OPEN/PARTOPEN:    enter PASSIVE_CLOSE so that application has a chance to process unread data;
   * CLOSEREQ:         server performed active-close -- perform Step 14;
   * CLOSING:          simultaneous-close: use a tie-breaker to avoid message ping-pong (see comment);
   * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ: ignore - the peer has a bug (sending first a CloseReq and now a Close);
   * TIMEWAIT:         packet is ignored.

   Note that the condition of receiving a packet in state CLOSED here is different from the condition "there
   is no socket for such a connection": the socket still exists, but its state indicates it is unusable.

   Last, dccp_finish_passive_close sets either DCCP_CLOSED or DCCP_CLOSING = TCP_CLOSING, so that
   sk_stream_wait_close() will wait for the final Reset (which will trigger CLOSING => CLOSED).

[DCCP]: Dedicated auxiliary states to support passive-close

2008-01-28T22:55:12+00:00

This adds two auxiliary states to deal with passive closes:
  * PASSIVE_CLOSE    (reached from OPEN via reception of Close)    and
  * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ (reached from OPEN via reception of CloseReq)
as internal intermediate states.

These states are used to allow a receiver to process unread data before
acknowledging the received connection-termination-request (the Close/CloseReq).

Without such support, it will happen that passively-closed sockets enter CLOSED
state while there is still unprocessed data in the queue; leading to unexpected
and erratic API behaviour.

PASSIVE_CLOSE has been mapped into TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT, so that the code will
seamlessly work with inet_accept() (which tests for this state).

The state names are thanks to Arnaldo, who suggested this naming scheme
following an earlier revision of this patch.

[DCCP]: Make PARTOPEN an autonomous state

2008-01-28T22:54:44+00:00

This decouples PARTOPEN from TCP-specific stream-states.

It thus addresses the FIXME.

The code has been checked with regard to dependency on PARTOPEN and FIN_WAIT1
states (to which PARTOPEN previously was mapped): there is no difference, as
PARTOPEN is always referred to directly (i.e. not via the mapping to TCP
state).

[DCCP]: Convert Reset code into socket error number

2007-10-24T12:27:48+00:00

This adds support for converting the 11 currently defined Reset codes into system
error numbers, which are stored in sk_err for further interpretation.

This makes the externally visible API behaviour similar to TCP, since a client
connecting to a non-existing port will experience ECONNREFUSED.

* Code 0, Unspecified, is interpreted as non-error (0);
* Code 1, Closed (normal termination), also maps into 0;
* Code 2, Aborted, maps into "Connection reset by peer" (ECONNRESET);
* Code 3, No Connection and
  Code 7, Connection Refused, map into "Connection refused" (ECONNREFUSED);
* Code 4, Packet Error, maps into "No message of desired type" (ENOMSG);
* Code 5, Option Error, maps into "Illegal byte sequence" (EILSEQ);
* Code 6, Mandatory Error, maps into "Operation not supported on transport endpoint" (EOPNOTSUPP);
* Code 8, Bad Service Code, maps into "Invalid request code" (EBADRQC);
* Code 9, Too Busy, maps into "Too many users" (EUSERS);
* Code 10, Bad Init Cookie, maps into "Invalid request descriptor" (EBADR);
* Code 11, Aggression Penalty, maps into "Quota exceeded" (EDQUOT)
  which makes sense in terms of using more than the `fair share' of bandwidth.

[DCCP]: Retrieve packet sequence number for error reporting

2007-10-24T12:12:09+00:00

This fixes a problem when analysing erroneous packets in dccp_v{4,6}_err:
* dccp_hdr_seq currently takes an skb
* however, the transport headers in the skb are shifted, due to the
  preceding IPv4/v6 header.
Fixed for v4 and v6 by changing dccp_hdr_seq to take a struct dccp_hdr as
argument. Verified that the correct sequence number is now reported in the
error handler.

[DCCP]: Tidy-up -- minisock initialisation

2007-10-10T23:54:36+00:00

This

 * removes a declaration of a non-existent function
   __dccp_minisock_init;

 * shifts the initialisation function dccp_minisock_init() from
   options.c to minisocks.c, where it is more naturally expected to
   be.
