I was trying to use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and noticed that if the
client does not talk, the connection is never accepted and
remains in SYN_RECV state until the retransmits expire, where
it finally is deleted. This is bad when some firewall such as
netfilter sits between the client and the server because the
firewall sees the connection in ESTABLISHED state while the
server will finally silently drop it without sending an RST.
This behaviour contradicts the man page which says it should
wait only for some time :
TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT (since Linux 2.4)
Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives
on the socket. Takes an integer value (seconds), this
can bound the maximum number of attempts TCP will
make to complete the connection. This option should not
be used in code intended to be portable.
Also, looking at ipv4/tcp.c, a retransmit counter is correctly
computed :
case TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT:
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept = 0;
if (val > 0) {
/* Translate value in seconds to number of
* retransmits */
while (icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept < 32 &&
val > ((TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT / HZ) <<
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept))
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
}
break;
==> rskq_defer_accept is used as a counter of retransmits.
But in tcp_minisocks.c, this counter is only checked. And in
fact, I have found no location which updates it. So I think
that what was intended was to decrease it in tcp_minisocks
whenever it is checked, which the trivial patch below does.

One thing that struck me as strange is tcp_twsk_destructor(), as it
calls tcp_put_md5sig_pool() -- which entails a put_cpu(), causing the

This fixed a lockdep warning which appeared when doing stress
memory tests over NFS:
inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.
page reclaim => nfs_writepage => tcp_sendmsg => lock sk_lock
mount_root => nfs_root_data => tcp_close => lock sk_lock =>
tcp_send_fin => alloc_skb_fclone => page reclaim
David raised a concern that if the allocation fails in tcp_send_fin(), and it's
GFP_ATOMIC, we are going to yield() (which sleeps) and loop endlessly waiting
for the allocation to succeed.
But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks
weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could
loop endlessly under memory pressure.

This reverts two changesets, ec3c0982a2
("[TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established") and
the follow-on bug fix 9ae27e0adb
("tcp: Fix slab corruption with ipv6 and tcp6fuzz").
This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar
as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting
stuck.
Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems. The new function
added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the
child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent
listening socket.
Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab
the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would
create an ABBA deadlock. The normal ordering is parent listening
socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the
reverse lock ordering.
Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted:
----------------------------------------
>--- a/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>+++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>@@ -481,6 +481,11 @@ static void tcp_keepalive_timer (unsigned long data)
> goto death;
> }
>
>+ if (tp->defer_tcp_accept.request && sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED) {
>+ tcp_send_active_reset(sk, GFP_ATOMIC);
>+ goto death;
Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done()
will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should
release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for
freeing.
----------------------------------------
Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any
real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all
of the bugs:
----------------------------------------
Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only
is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really
so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole
to consume memory without control.
----------------------------------------
So revert this thing for now.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

DESCRIPTION
"The number of times TCP connections have made a direct

state or the SYN-RCVD state, plus the number of times TCP
connections have made a direct transition to the LISTEN
state from the SYN-RCVD state."
::= { tcp 7 }
When I lookup into RFC793, I found that the state change should occured
under following condition:
1. SYN-SENT -> CLOSED
a) Received ACK,RST segment when SYN-SENT state.
2. SYN-RCVD -> CLOSED
b) Received SYN segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from LISTEN).
c) Received RST segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from SYN-SENT).
d) Received SYN segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from SYN-SENT).
3. SYN-RCVD -> LISTEN
e) Received RST segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from LISTEN).
In my test, those direct state transition can not be counted to
tcpAttemptFails.

In the current TSO implementation, NETIF_F_TSO and ECN cannot be
turned on together in a TCP connection. The problem is that most
hardware that supports TSO does not handle CWR correctly if it is set
in the TSO packet. Correct handling requires CWR to be set in the
first packet only if it is set in the TSO header.
This patch adds the ability to turn on NETIF_F_TSO and ECN using
GSO if necessary to handle TSO packets with CWR set. Hardware
that handles CWR correctly can turn on NETIF_F_TSO_ECN in the dev->
features flag.
All TSO packets with CWR set will have the SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN set. If
the output device does not have the NETIF_F_TSO_ECN feature set, GSO
will split the packet up correctly with CWR only set in the first
segment.
With help from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>.
Since ECN can always be enabled with TSO, the SOCK_NO_LARGESEND sock
flag is completely removed.

This paves the way to generalise the rest of the sock ID lookup
routines and saves some bytes in TCPv4 TIME_WAIT sockets on distro
kernels (where IPv6 is always built as a module):
[root@qemu ~]# grep tw_sock /proc/slabinfo
tw_sock_TCPv6 0 0 128 31 1
tw_sock_TCP 0 0 96 41 1
[root@qemu ~]#
Now if a protocol wants to use the TIME_WAIT generic infrastructure it
only has to set the sk_prot->twsk_obj_size field with the size of its
inet_timewait_sock derived sock and proto_register will create
sk_prot->twsk_slab, for now its only for INET sockets, but we can
introduce timewait_sock later if some non INET transport protocolo
wants to use this stuff.
Next changesets will take advantage of this new infrastructure to
generalise even more TCP code.

Also expose all of the tcp_hashinfo members, i.e. killing those
tcp_ehash, etc macros, this will more clearly expose already generic
functions and some that need just a bit of work to become generic, as
we'll see in the upcoming changesets.

This should really be in a inet_connection_sock, but I'm leaving it
for a later optimization, when some more fields common to INET
transport protocols now in tcp_sk or inet_sk will be chunked out into
inet_connection_sock, for now its better to concentrate on getting the
changes in the core merged to leave the DCCP tree with only DCCP
specific code.
Next changesets will take advantage of this move to generalise things
like tcp_bind_hash, tcp_put_port, tcp_inherit_port, making the later
receive a inet_hashinfo parameter, and even __tcp_tw_hashdance, etc in
the future, when tcp_tw_bucket gets transformed into the struct
timewait_sock hierarchy.
tcp_destroy_sock also is eligible as soon as tcp_orphan_count gets
moved to sk_prot.
A cascade of incremental changes will ultimately make the tcp_lookup
functions be fully generic.

This is to break down the complexity of the series of patches,
making it very clear that this one just does:
1. renames tcp_ prefixed hashtable functions and data structures that
were already mostly generic to inet_ to share it with DCCP and
other INET transport protocols.
2. Removes not used functions (__tb_head & tb_head)
3. Removes some leftover prototypes in the headers (tcp_bucket_unlock &
tcp_v4_build_header)
Next changesets will move tcp_sk(sk)->bind_hash to inet_sock so that we can
make functions such as tcp_inherit_port, __tcp_inherit_port, tcp_v4_get_port,
__tcp_put_port, generic and get others like tcp_destroy_sock closer to generic
(tcp_orphan_count will go to sk->sk_prot to allow this).
Eventually most of these functions will be used passing the transport protocol
inet_hashinfo structure.

From tcp_v4_setup_caps, that always is preceded by a call to
__sk_dst_set, so coalesce this sequence into sk_setup_caps, removing
one call to a TCP function in the IP layer.

Allow TCP to have multiple pluggable congestion control algorithms.
Algorithms are defined by a set of operations and can be built in
or modules. The legacy "new RENO" algorithm is used as a starting
point and fallback.

This chunks out the accept_queue and tcp_listen_opt code and moves
them to net/core/request_sock.c and include/net/request_sock.h, to
make it useful for other transport protocols, DCCP being the first one
to use it.
Next patches will rename tcp_listen_opt to accept_sock and remove the
inline tcp functions that just call a reqsk_queue_ function.

Ok, this one just renames some stuff to have a better namespace and to
dissassociate it from TCP:
struct open_request -> struct request_sock
tcp_openreq_alloc -> reqsk_alloc
tcp_openreq_free -> reqsk_free
tcp_openreq_fastfree -> __reqsk_free
With this most of the infrastructure closely resembles a struct
sock methods subset.

Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to
ease peer review.
Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn
has two new members:
->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep
->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for
a specific protocol
The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a
class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection
oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones
in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an
open_request.
I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class
hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the
open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an
or_calltable.
Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per
open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-)
Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions
mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it
struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g,
etc.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
