tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolution

2014-02-26T22:08:40+00:00

Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT
estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days.

FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control
and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in
tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt'

TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility :
tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution,
so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed
to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel.

In this example ss command displays a srtt of 32 usecs (10Gbit link)

lpk51:~# ./ss -i dst lpk52
Netid  State      Recv-Q Send-Q   Local Address:Port       Peer

ipv6: make lookups simpler and faster

2013-10-09T04:01:25+00:00

TCP listener refactoring, part 4 :

To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct
sock_common

Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast
lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV.

Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache
lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall).

inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6

This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4,
we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6,
it's not doable easily.

inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr
inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr

And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr
at the same offset.

We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic
macro.

tcp: Change return value of tcp_rcv_established()

2013-09-04T04:27:28+00:00

tcp_rcv_established() returns only one value namely 0. We change the return
value to void (as suggested by David Miller).

After commit 0c24604b (tcp: implement RFC 5961 4.2), we no longer send RSTs in
response to SYNs. We can remove the check and processing on the return value of
tcp_rcv_established().

We also fix jtcp_rcv_established() in tcp_probe.c to match that of
tcp_rcv_established().

net: tcp_probe: adapt tbuf size for recent changes

2013-09-04T04:27:28+00:00

With recent changes in tcp_probe module (e.g. f925d0a62d ("net: tcp_probe:
add IPv6 support")) we also need to take into account that tbuf needs to
be updated as format string will be further expanded. tbuf sits on the stack
in tcpprobe_read() function that is invoked when user space reads procfs
file /proc/net/tcpprobe, hence not fast path as in jtcp_rcv_established().
Having a size similarly as in sctp_probe module of 256 bytes is fully
sufficient for that, we need theoretical maximum of 252 bytes otherwise we
could get truncated.

net: tcp_probe: allow more advanced ingress filtering by mark

2013-08-27T19:53:34+00:00

Currently, the tcp_probe snooper can either filter packets by a given
port (handed to the module via module parameter e.g. port=80) or lets
all TCP traffic pass (port=0, default). When a port is specified, the
port number is tested against the sk's source/destination port. Thus,
if one of them matches, the information will be further processed for
the log.

As this is quite limited, allow for more advanced filtering possibilities
which can facilitate debugging/analysis with the help of the tcp_probe
snooper. Therefore, similarly as added to BPF machine in commit 7e75f93e
("pkt_sched: ingress socket filter by mark"), add the possibility to
use skb->mark as a filter.

If the mark is not being used otherwise, this allows ingress filtering
by flow (e.g. in order to track updates from only a single flow, or a
subset of all flows for a given port) and other things such as dynamic
logging and reconfiguration without removing/re-inserting the tcp_probe
module, etc. Simple example:

  insmod net/ipv4/tcp_probe.ko fwmark=8888 full=1
  ...
  iptables -A INPUT -i eth4 -t mangle -p tcp --dport 22 \
           --sport 60952 -j MARK --set-mark 8888
  [... sampling interval ...]
  iptables -D INPUT -i eth4 -t mangle -p tcp --dport 22 \
           --sport 60952 -j MARK --set-mark 8888

The current option to filter by a given port is still being preserved. A
similar approach could be done for the sctp_probe module as a follow-up.

net: tcp_probe: add IPv6 support

2013-08-22T23:19:50+00:00

The tcp_probe currently only supports analysis of IPv4 connections.
Therefore, it would be nice to have IPv6 supported as well. Since we
have the recently added %pISpc specifier that is IPv4/IPv6 generic,
build related sockaddress structures from the flow information and
pass this to our format string. Tested with SSH and HTTP sessions
on IPv4 and IPv6.

net: tcp_probe: kprobes: adapt jtcp_rcv_established signature

2013-08-22T23:19:50+00:00

This patches fixes a rather unproblematic function signature mismatch
as the const specifier was missing for the th variable; and next to
that it adds a build-time assertion so that future function signature
mismatches for kprobes will not end badly, similarly as commit 22222997
("net: sctp: add build check for sctp_sf_eat_sack_6_2/jsctp_sf_eat_sack")
did it for SCTP.

net: tcp_probe: also include rcv_wnd next to snd_wnd

2013-08-22T23:19:50+00:00

It is helpful to sometimes know the TCP window sizes of an established
socket e.g. to confirm that window scaling is working or to tweak the
window size to improve high-latency connections, etc etc. Currently the
TCP snooper only exports the send window size, but not the receive window
size. Therefore, also add the receive window size to the end of the
output line.

net: proc: change proc_net_remove to remove_proc_entry

2013-02-18T19:53:08+00:00

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries
that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
need to call remove_proc_entry.

this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.
we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.
