inet_diag: Add equal-operator for ports

2018-01-02T18:54:04+00:00

inet_diag currently provides less/greater than or equal operators for
comparing ports when filtering sockets. An equal comparison can be
performed by combining the two existing operators, or a user can for
example request a port range and then do the final filtering in
userspace. However, these approaches both have drawbacks. Implementing
equal using LE/GE causes the size and complexity of a filter to grow
quickly as the number of ports increase, while it on busy machines would
be great if the kernel only returns information about relevant sockets.

This patch introduces source and destination port equal operators.
INET_DIAG_BC_S_EQ is used to match a source port, INET_DIAG_BC_D_EQ a
destination port, and usage is the same as for the existing port
operators.  I.e., the port to match is stored in the no-member of the
next inet_diag_bc_op-struct in the filter.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54+00:00

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.  Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier.  The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception.  SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

net: ip, diag -- Add diag interface for raw sockets

2016-10-23T23:35:24+00:00

In criu we are actively using diag interface to collect sockets
present in the system when dumping applications. And while for
unix, tcp, udp[lite], packet, netlink it works as expected,
the raw sockets do not have. Thus add it.

v2:
 - add missing sock_put calls in raw_diag_dump_one (by eric.dumazet@)
 - implement @destroy for diag requests (by dsa@)

v3:
 - add export of raw_abort for IPv6 (by dsa@)
 - pass net-admin flag into inet_sk_diag_fill due to
   changes in net-next branch (by dsa@)

v4:
 - use @pad in struct inet_diag_req_v2 for raw socket
   protocol specification: raw module carries sockets
   which may have custom protocol passed from socket()
   syscall and sole @sdiag_protocol is not enough to
   match underlied ones
 - start reporting protocol specifed in socket() call
   when sockets are raw ones for the same reason: user
   space tools like ss may parse this attribute and use
   it for socket matching

v5 (by eric.dumazet@):
 - use sock_hold in raw_sock_get instead of atomic_inc,
   we're holding (raw_v4_hashinfo|raw_v6_hashinfo)->lock
   when looking up so counter won't be zero here.

v6:
 - use sdiag_raw_protocol() helper which will access @pad
   structure used for raw sockets protocol specification:
   we can't simply rename this member without breaking uapi

v7:
 - sine sdiag_raw_protocol() helper is not suitable for
   uapi lets rather make an alias structure with proper
   names. __check_inet_diag_req_raw helper will catch
   if any of structure unintentionally changed.

tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control

2016-09-21T04:23:01+00:00

This commit implements a new TCP congestion control algorithm: BBR
(Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT). A detailed description of BBR will be
published in ACM Queue, Vol. 14 No. 5, September-October 2016, as
"BBR: Congestion-Based Congestion Control".

BBR has significantly increased throughput and reduced latency for
connections on Google's internal backbone networks and google.com and
YouTube Web servers.

BBR requires only changes on the sender side, not in the network or
the receiver side. Thus it can be incrementally deployed on today's
Internet, or in datacenters.

The Internet has predominantly used loss-based congestion control
(largely Reno or CUBIC) since the 1980s, relying on packet loss as the
signal to slow down. While this worked well for many years, loss-based
congestion control is unfortunately out-dated in today's networks. On
today's Internet, loss-based congestion control causes the infamous
bufferbloat problem, often causing seconds of needless queuing delay,
since it fills the bloated buffers in many last-mile links. On today's
high-speed long-haul links using commodity switches with shallow
buffers, loss-based congestion control has abysmal throughput because
it over-reacts to losses caused by transient traffic bursts.

In 1981 Kleinrock and Gale showed that the optimal operating point for
a network maximizes delivered bandwidth while minimizing delay and
loss, not only for single connections but for the network as a
whole. Finding that optimal operating point has been elusive, since
any single network measurement is ambiguous: network measurements are
the result of both bandwidth and propagation delay, and those two
cannot be measured simultaneously.

While it is impossible to disambiguate any single bandwidth or RTT
measurement, a connection's behavior over time tells a clearer
story. BBR uses a measurement strategy designed to resolve this
ambiguity. It combines these measurements with a robust servo loop
using recent control systems advances to implement a distributed
congestion control algorithm that reacts to actual congestion, not
packet loss or transient queue delay, and is designed to converge with
high probability to a point near the optimal operating point.

In a nutshell, BBR creates an explicit model of the network pipe by
sequentially probing the bottleneck bandwidth and RTT. On the arrival
of each ACK, BBR derives the current delivery rate of the last round
trip, and feeds it through a windowed max-filter to estimate the
bottleneck bandwidth. Conversely it uses a windowed min-filter to
estimate the round trip propagation delay. The max-filtered bandwidth
and min-filtered RTT estimates form BBR's model of the network pipe.

Using its model, BBR sets control parameters to govern sending
behavior. The primary control is the pacing rate: BBR applies a gain
multiplier to transmit faster or slower than the observed bottleneck
bandwidth. The conventional congestion window (cwnd) is now the
secondary control; the cwnd is set to a small multiple of the
estimated BDP (bandwidth-delay product) in order to allow full
utilization and bandwidth probing while bounding the potential amount
of queue at the bottleneck.

When a BBR connection starts, it enters STARTUP mode and applies a
high gain to perform an exponential search to quickly probe the
bottleneck bandwidth (doubling its sending rate each round trip, like
slow start). However, instead of continuing until it fills up the
buffer (i.e. a loss), or until delay or ACK spacing reaches some
threshold (like Hystart), it uses its model of the pipe to estimate
when that pipe is full: it estimates the pipe is full when it notices
the estimated bandwidth has stopped growing. At that point it exits
STARTUP and enters DRAIN mode, where it reduces its pacing rate to
drain the queue it estimates it has created.

Then BBR enters steady state. In steady state, PROBE_BW mode cycles
between first pacing faster to probe for more bandwidth, then pacing
slower to drain any queue that created if no more bandwidth was
available, and then cruising at the estimated bandwidth to utilize the
pipe without creating excess queue. Occasionally, on an as-needed
basis, it sends significantly slower to probe for RTT (PROBE_RTT
mode).

BBR has been fully deployed on Google's wide-area backbone networks
and we're experimenting with BBR on Google.com and YouTube on a global
scale.  Replacing CUBIC with BBR has resulted in significant
improvements in network latency and application (RPC, browser, and
video) metrics. For more details please refer to our upcoming ACM
Queue publication.

Example performance results, to illustrate the difference between BBR
and CUBIC:

Resilience to random loss (e.g. from shallow buffers):
  Consider a netperf TCP_STREAM test lasting 30 secs on an emulated
  path with a 10Gbps bottleneck, 100ms RTT, and 1% packet loss
  rate. CUBIC gets 3.27 Mbps, and BBR gets 9150 Mbps (2798x higher).

Low latency with the bloated buffers common in today's last-mile links:
  Consider a netperf TCP_STREAM test lasting 120 secs on an emulated
  path with a 10Mbps bottleneck, 40ms RTT, and 1000-packet bottleneck
  buffer. Both fully utilize the bottleneck bandwidth, but BBR
  achieves this with a median RTT 25x lower (43 ms instead of 1.09
  secs).

Our long-term goal is to improve the congestion control algorithms
used on the Internet. We are hopeful that BBR can help advance the
efforts toward this goal, and motivate the community to do further
research.

Test results, performance evaluations, feedback, and BBR-related
discussions are very welcome in the public e-mail list for BBR:

NOTE: BBR *must* be used with the fq qdisc ("man tc-fq") with pacing
enabled, since pacing is integral to the BBR design and
implementation. BBR without pacing would not function properly, and
may incur unnecessary high packet loss rates.

net: inet: diag: expose the socket mark to privileged processes.

2016-09-08T23:13:09+00:00

This adds the capability for a process that has CAP_NET_ADMIN on
a socket to see the socket mark in socket dumps.

Commit a52e95abf772 ("net: diag: allow socket bytecode filters to
match socket marks") recently gave privileged processes the
ability to filter socket dumps based on mark. This patch is
complementary: it ensures that the mark is also passed to
userspace in the socket's netlink attributes.  It is useful for
tools like ss which display information about sockets.

net: diag: allow socket bytecode filters to match socket marks

2016-08-25T04:57:20+00:00

This allows a privileged process to filter by socket mark when
dumping sockets via INET_DIAG_BY_FAMILY. This is useful on
systems that use mark-based routing such as Android.

The ability to filter socket marks requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, which
is consistent with other privileged operations allowed by the
SOCK_DIAG interface such as the ability to destroy sockets and
the ability to inspect BPF filters attached to packet sockets.
