net: Retire DCCP socket.

2025-04-12T01:58:10+00:00

DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd05 ("MAINTAINERS: dccp: move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer had been inactive for five years. In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot. Apart from that, the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates or adjustments related to TCP. Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit b144fcaf46d4 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice."). Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0] There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP. The repository is hosted on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream community. While the repository is published under the GPLv2 license, the scheduling part remains proprietary, with a LICENSE file [2] stating: "This is not Open Source software." The researcher mentioned a plan to address the licensing issue, upstream the patches, and step up as a maintainer, but there has been no further communication since then. Maintaining DCCP for a decade without any real users has become a burden. Therefore, it's time to remove it. Removing DCCP will also provide significant benefits to TCP. It allows us to freely reorganize the layout of struct inet_connection_sock, which is currently shared with DCCP, and optimize it to reduce the number of cachelines accessed in the TCP fast path. Note that we keep DCCP netfilter modules as requested.

net: dccp: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2020-02-28T20:08:37+00:00

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

net: dccp: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-10-19T23:12:11+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

dccp: check ccid before dereferencing

2012-08-16T04:36:31+00:00

ccid_hc_rx_getsockopt() and ccid_hc_tx_getsockopt() might be called with a NULL ccid pointer leading to a NULL pointer dereference. This could lead to a privilege escalation if the attacker is able to map page 0 and prepare it with a fake ccid_ops pointer.

dccp: Return-value convention of hc_tx_send_packet()

2010-10-28T17:27:00+00:00

This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches. Currently the convention is * values < 0 mean error, * a value == 0 means "send now", and * a value x > 0 means "send in x milliseconds". The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values. In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds, corresponding to 65.535 seconds. This is possible since in CCID-3/4 the maximum possible inter-packet gap is fixed at t_mbi = 64 sec. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dccp: remove unused argument in CCID tx function

2010-10-12T04:57:41+00:00

This removes the argument `more' from ccid_hc_tx_packet_sent, since it was nowhere used in the entire code. (Btw, this argument was not even used in the original KAME code where the function initially came from; compare the variable moreToSend in the freebsd61-dccp-kame-28.08.2006.patch kept by Emmanuel Lochin.)

dccp: Add packet type information to CCID-specific option parsing

2010-09-21T10:14:25+00:00

This 1. adds packet type information to ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is necessary, since table 3 in RFC 4340, 5.8 leaves it to the CCIDs to state which options may (not) appear on what packet type. 2. adds such a check for CCID-3's {Loss Event, Receive} Rate as specified in RFC 4340 8.3 ("Receive Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets") and 8.5 ("Loss Event Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets"). 3. removes an unused argument `idx' from ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is also no longer necessary, since the CCID-specific option-parsing routines are passed every single parameter of the type-length-value option encoding. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker

dccp: fix bug in cache allocation

2010-02-04T03:00:30+00:00

This fixes a bug introduced in commit de4ef86cfce60d2250111f34f8a084e769f23b16 ("dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub", 17 Jan): the vsnprintf used sizeof(slab_name_fmt), which became truncated to 4 bytes, since slab_name_fmt is now a 4-byte pointer and no longer a 32-character array. This lead to error messages such as FATAL: Error inserting dccp: No buffer space available >> kernel: [ 1456.341501] kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache cci generated due to the truncation after the 3rd character. Fixed for the moment by introducing a symbolic constant. Tested to fix the bug. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker Acked-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
