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.

tcp: Prevent overzealous packetization by SWS logic.

2010-09-15T19:01:44+00:00

If peer uses tiny MSS (say, 75 bytes) and similarly tiny advertised window, the SWS logic will packetize to half the MSS unnecessarily. This causes problems with some embedded devices. However for large MSS devices we do want to half-MSS packetize otherwise we never get enough packets into the pipe for things like fast retransmit and recovery to work. Be careful also to handle the case where MSS > window, otherwise we'll never send until the probe timer. Reported-by: ツ Leandro Melo de Sales Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

TCP: update initial windows according to RFC 5681

2010-08-30T20:50:44+00:00

This updates the use of larger initial windows, as originally specified in RFC 3390, to use the newer IW values specified in RFC 5681, section 3.1. The changes made in RFC 5681 are: a) the setting now is more clearly specified in units of segments (as the comments by John Heffner emphasized, this was not very clear in RFC 3390); b) for connections with 1095 < SMSS <= 2190 there is now a change: - RFC 3390 says that IW <= 4380, - RFC 5681 says that IW = 3 * SMSS <= 6570. Since RFC 3390 is older and "only" proposed standard, whereas the newer RFC 5681 is already draft standard, it seems preferable to use the newer IW variant.

tcp/dccp: Consolidate common code for RFC 3390 conversion

2010-08-30T20:45:26+00:00

This patch consolidates initial-window code common to TCP and CCID-2: * TCP uses RFC 3390 in a packet-oriented manner (tcp_input.c) and * CCID-2 uses RFC 3390 in packet-oriented manner (RFC 4341). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: Combat per-cpu skew in orphan tests.

2010-08-25T09:27:49+00:00

As reported by Anton Blanchard when we use percpu_counter_read_positive() to make our orphan socket limit checks, the check can be off by up to num_cpus_online() * batch (which is 32 by default) which on a 128 cpu machine can be as large as the default orphan limit itself. Fix this by doing the full expensive sum check if the optimized check triggers. Reported-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Eric Dumazet

tcp: sizeof struct tcp_skb_cb is 44

2010-07-16T04:41:00+00:00

Correct comment stating sizeof(struct tcp_skb_cb) is 36 or 40, since its 44 bytes, since commit 951dbc8ac714b04 ([IPV6]: Move nextheader offset to the IP6CB). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet, inet6: make tcp_sendmsg() and tcp_sendpage() through inet_sendmsg() and inet_sendpage()

2010-07-13T03:21:46+00:00

a new boolean flag no_autobind is added to structure proto to avoid the autobind calls when the protocol is TCP. Then sock_rps_record_flow() is called int the TCP's sendmsg() and sendpage() pathes.
