sctp: fix incorrect overflow check on autoclose

2011-12-19T21:25:46+00:00

Commit 8ffd3208 voids the previous patches f6778aab and 810c0719 for
limiting the autoclose value.  If userspace passes in -1 on 32-bit
platform, the overflow check didn't work and autoclose would be set
to 0xffffffff.

This patch defines a max_autoclose (in seconds) for limiting the value
and exposes it through sysctl, with the following intentions.

1) Avoid overflowing autoclose * HZ.

2) Keep the default autoclose bound consistent across 32- and 64-bit
   platforms (INT_MAX / HZ in this patch).

3) Keep the autoclose value consistent between setsockopt() and
   getsockopt() calls.

net: avoid limits overflow

2010-11-10T20:12:00+00:00

Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB machine and found some limits were
reached : sysctl_tcp_mem[2], sysctl_udp_mem[2]

We can switch infrastructure to use long "instead" of "int", now
atomic_long_t primitives are available for free.

sctp: fix compile error due to sysctl mismerge

2009-12-08T20:51:22+00:00

I messed up the merge in d7fc02c7bae7b1cf69269992cf880a43a350cdaa, where
the conflict in question wasn't just about CTL_UNNUMBERED being removed,
but the 'strategy' field is too (sysctl handling is now done through the
/proc interface, with no duplicate protocols for reading the data).

sctp: Update SWS avaoidance receiver side algorithm

2009-11-23T20:53:57+00:00

We currently send window update SACKs every time we free up 1 PMTU
worth of data.  That a lot more SACKs then necessary.  Instead, we'll
now send back the actuall window every time we send a sack, and do
window-update SACKs when a fraction of the receive buffer has been
opened.  The fraction is controlled with a sysctl.

sysctl: Drop & in front of every proc_handler.

2009-11-18T16:37:40+00:00

For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler.  Explicity
taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.

sysctl net: Remove unused binary sysctl code

2009-11-12T10:05:06+00:00

Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys
all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy
entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be
revmoed.

In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer
take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not
to pass one.

sctp: Sysctl configuration for IPv4 Address Scoping

2009-09-04T22:21:01+00:00

This patch introduces a new sysctl option to make IPv4 Address Scoping
configurable .

In networking environments where DNAT rules in iptables prerouting
chains convert destination IP's to link-local/private IP addresses,
SCTP connections fail to establish as the INIT chunk is dropped by the
kernel due to address scope match failure.
For example to support overlapping IP addresses (same IP address with
different vlan id) a Layer-5 application listens on link local IP's,
and there is a DNAT rule that maps the destination IP to a link local
IP. Such applications never get the SCTP INIT if the address-scoping
draft is strictly followed.

This sysctl configuration allows SCTP to function in such
unconventional networking environments.

Sysctl options:
0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping draft altogether
1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping (default, current behavior)
2 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 private addresses in init/init-ack
3 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 link local address in init/init-ack
