This condition (plain R) can arise at least in recovery that is triggered after tcp_undo_loss. There isn't any reason why they should not be marked as lost, not marking makes in_flight estimator to return too large values.

I was reading tcp_enter_loss while looking for Cedric's bug and noticed bytes_acked adjustment is missing from FRTO side. Since bytes_acked will only be used in tcp_cong_avoid, I think it's safe to assume RTO would be spurious. During FRTO cwnd will be not controlled by tcp_cong_avoid and if FRTO calls for conventional recovery, cwnd is adjusted and the result of wrong assumption is cleared from bytes_acked. If RTO was in fact spurious, we did normal ABC already and can continue without any additional adjustments. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

From RFC 3493, Section 5.2: IPV6_MULTICAST_IF Set the interface to use for outgoing multicast packets. The argument is the index of the interface to use. If the interface index is specified as zero, the system selects the interface (for example, by looking up the address in a routing table and using the resulting interface). This patch adds support for (index == 0) to reset the value to it's original state, allowing the system to choose the best interface. IPv4 already behaves this way.

With your description I could reproduce the bug and actually you were completely right: the code above is incorrect. Somehow I was able to misread RFC1122 and mixed the roles :-(: When a connection is >>closed actively<<, it MUST linger in TIME-WAIT state for a time 2xMSL (Maximum Segment Lifetime). However, it MAY >>accept<< a new SYN from the remote TCP to reopen the connection directly from TIME-WAIT state, if it: [...] The fix is as follows: if the receiver initiated an active close, then the sender may reopen the connection - otherwise try to figure out if we hold a dead connection.

As discussed before, this patch provides userland with a way to access relevant options in Router Advertisements, after they are processed and validated by the kernel. Extra options are processed in a generic way; this patch only exports RDNSS options described in RFC5006, but support to control which options are exported could be easily added. A new rtnetlink message type is defined, to transport Neighbor Discovery options, along with optional context information. At the moment only the address of the router sending an RDNSS option is included, but additional attributes may be later defined, if needed by new use cases.

This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious. This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced asynchronious user -> kernel communication. The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the user. Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing may occur in the arbitrary process context. This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet processing right in the netlink_unicast. Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched. EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Acked-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There is no need to process outstanding netlink user->kernel packets during rtnl_unlock now. There is no rtnl_trylock in the rtnetlink_rcv anymore. Normal code path is the following: netlink_sendmsg netlink_unicast netlink_sendskb skb_queue_tail netlink_data_ready rtnetlink_rcv mutex_lock(&rtnl_mutex); netlink_run_queue(sk, qlen, &rtnetlink_rcv_msg); mutex_unlock(&rtnl_mutex); So, it is possible, that packets can be present in the rtnl->sk_receive_queue during rtnl_unlock, but there is no need to process them at that moment as rtnetlink_rcv for that packet is pending.

Expansion of original idea from Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Add robustness and locking to the local_port_range sysctl. 1. Enforce that low < high when setting. 2. Use seqlock to ensure atomic update. The locking might seem like overkill, but there are cases where sysadmin might want to change value in the middle of a DoS attack.

This patch moves the setting of the IP length and checksum fields out of the transforms and into the xfrmX_output functions. This would help future efforts in merging the transforms themselves.

This patch removes the duplicate ipv6_{auth,esp,comp}_hdr structures since they're identical to the IPv4 versions.

The IPv6 calling convention for x->mode->output is more general and could help an eventual protocol-generic x->type->output implementation. This patch adopts it for IPv4 as well and modifies the IPv4 type output functions accordingly. It also rewrites the IPv6 mac/transport header calculation to be based off the network header where practical. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch changes the calling convention so that on entry from x->mode->output and before entry into x->type->output skb->data will point to the payload instead of the IP header. This is essentially a redistribution of skb_push/skb_pull calls with the aim of minimising them on the common path of tunnel + ESP. It'll also let us use the same calling convention between IPv4 and IPv6 with the next patch. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

I pointed this out back when this patch was first proposed but it looks like it got lost along the way. The checksum only needs to be ignored for NAT-T in transport mode where we lose the original inner addresses due to NAT. With BEET the inner addresses will be intact so the checksum remains valid.

Loading the crypto algorithm by the alias instead of by module directly has the advantage that all possible implementations of this algorithm are loaded automatically and the crypto API can choose the best one depending on its priority. Additionally it ensures that the generic implementation as well as the HW driver (if available) is loaded in case the HW driver needs the generic version as fallback in corner cases. Also remove the probe for sha1 in padlock's init code. Quote from Herbert: The probe is actually pointless since we can always probe when the algorithm is actually used which does not lead to dead-locks like this.
