Eric Dumazet 918eb39962 net: add missing bh_unlock_sock() calls
Simon Kirby reported lockdep warnings and following messages :

[104661.897577] huh, entered softirq 3 NET_RX ffffffff81613740
preempt_count 00000101, exited with 00000102?

[104661.923653] huh, entered softirq 3 NET_RX ffffffff81613740
preempt_count 00000101, exited with 00000102?

Problem comes from commit 0e734419
(ipv4: Use inet_csk_route_child_sock() in DCCP and TCP.)

If inet_csk_route_child_sock() returns NULL, we should release socket
lock before freeing it.

Another lock imbalance exists if __inet_inherit_port() returns an error
since commit 093d282321 ( tproxy: fix hash locking issue when using
port redirection in __inet_inherit_port()) a backport is also needed for
>= 2.6.37 kernels.

Arjan van de Ven 73cb88ecb9 net: make the tcp and udp file_operations for the /proc stuff const
the tcp and udp code creates a set of struct file_operations at runtime
while it can also be done at compile time, with the added benefit of then
having these file operations be const.

the trickiest part was to get the "THIS_MODULE" reference right; the naive
method of declaring a struct in the place of registration would not work
for this reason.

Eric Dumazet 66b13d99d9 ipv4: tcp: fix TOS value in ACK messages sent from TIME_WAIT
There is a long standing bug in linux tcp stack, about ACK messages sent
on behalf of TIME_WAIT sockets.

In the IP header of the ACK message, we choose to reflect TOS field of
incoming message, and this might break some setups.

Example of things that were broken :
  - Routing using TOS as a selector
  - Firewalls
  - Trafic classification / shaping

We now remember in timewait structure the inet tos field and use it in
ACK generation, and route lookup.

Notes :
 - We still reflect incoming TOS in RST messages.
 - We could extend MuraliRaja Muniraju patch to report TOS value in
netlink messages for TIME_WAIT sockets.
 - A patch is needed for IPv6

It seems ip_gre is able to change dev->needed_headroom on the fly.

Its is not legal unfortunately and triggers a BUG in raw_sendmsg()

skb = sock_alloc_send_skb(sk, ... + LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE(rt->dst.dev)

< another cpu change dev->needed_headromm (making it bigger)

...
skb_reserve(skb, LL_RESERVED_SPACE(rt->dst.dev));

We end with LL_RESERVED_SPACE() being bigger than LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE()
-> we crash later because skb head is exhausted.

header_len in max_headroom calculation)

Eric Dumazet 87fb4b7b53 net: more accurate skb truesize
skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head.
kmalloc() roundings are also ignored.

Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to
take it into account for better memory accounting.

This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various
assumptions into a single place.

At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of
skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of
reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks.

Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are
aligned to cache lines, as before.

Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of
misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory
limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a
more accurate memory accounting.

Yan, Zheng 1e5289e121 tcp: properly update lost_cnt_hint during shifting
lost_skb_hint is used by tcp_mark_head_lost() to mark the first unhandled skb.
lost_cnt_hint is the number of packets or sacked packets before the lost_skb_hint;
When shifting a skb that is before the lost_skb_hint, if tcp_is_fack() is ture,
the skb has already been counted in the lost_cnt_hint; if tcp_is_fack() is false,
tcp_sacktag_one() will increase the lost_cnt_hint. So tcp_shifted_skb() does not
need to adjust the lost_cnt_hint by itself. When shifting a skb that is equal to
lost_skb_hint, the shifted packets will not be counted by tcp_mark_head_lost().
So tcp_shifted_skb() should adjust the lost_cnt_hint even tcp_is_fack(tp) is true.

While playing with a new ADSL box at home, I discovered that ECN
blackhole can trigger suboptimal quickack mode on linux : We send one

piggyback.

This is because TCP_ECN_check_ce() considers that if no ECT is seen on a
segment, this is because this segment was a retransmit.

Refine this heuristic and apply it only if we seen ECT in a previous
segment, to detect ECN blackhole at IP level.

Florian Westphal c6675233f9 netfilter: nf_queue: reject NF_STOLEN verdicts from userspace
A userspace listener may send (bogus) NF_STOLEN verdict, which causes skb leak.

This problem was previously fixed via
64507fdbc2 (netfilter:
nf_queue: fix NF_STOLEN skb leak) but this had to be reverted because
NF_STOLEN can also be returned by a netfilter hook when iterating the
rules in nf_reinject.

Reject userspace NF_STOLEN verdict, as suggested by Michal Miroslaw.

This is complementary to commit fad5444043
(netfilter: avoid double free in nf_reinject).

Nandita Dukkipati a262f0cdf1 Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP.
This patch implements Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) for TCP.
PRR is an algorithm that determines TCP's sending rate in fast
recovery. PRR avoids excessive window reductions and aims for
the actual congestion window size at the end of recovery to be as
close as possible to the window determined by the congestion control
algorithm. PRR also improves accuracy of the amount of data sent
during loss recovery.

The patch implements the recommended flavor of PRR called PRR-SSRB
(Proportional rate reduction with slow start reduction bound) and
replaces the existing rate halving algorithm. PRR improves upon the
existing Linux fast recovery under a number of conditions including:
  1) burst losses where the losses implicitly reduce the amount of
outstanding data (pipe) below the ssthresh value selected by the
congestion control algorithm and,
  2) losses near the end of short flows where application runs out of
data to send.

As an example, with the existing rate halving implementation a single
loss event can cause a connection carrying short Web transactions to
go into the slow start mode after the recovery. This is because during
recovery Linux pulls the congestion window down to packets_in_flight+1
on every ACK. A short Web response often runs out of new data to send
and its pipe reduces to zero by the end of recovery when all its packets
are drained from the network. Subsequent HTTP responses using the same
connection will have to slow start to raise cwnd to ssthresh. PRR on
the other hand aims for the cwnd to be as close as possible to ssthresh
by the end of recovery.

Tom Herbert bdeab99191 rps: Add flag to skb to indicate rxhash is based on L4 tuple
The l4_rxhash flag was added to the skb structure to indicate
that the rxhash value was computed over the 4 tuple for the
packet which includes the port information in the encapsulated
transport packet.  This is used by the stack to preserve the
rxhash value in __skb_rx_tunnel.
