e6c022a4fa tcp: better retrans tracking for defer-accept
For passive TCP connections using TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT facility,
we incorrectly increment req->retrans each time timeout triggers
while no SYNACK is sent.

SYNACK are not sent for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT that were established (for
which we received the ACK from client). Only the last SYNACK is sent
so that we can receive again an ACK from client, to move the req into
accept queue. We plan to change this later to avoid the useless
retransmit (and potential problem as this SYNACK could be lost)

TCP_INFO later gives wrong information to user, claiming imaginary
retransmits.

Decouple req->retrans field into two independent fields :

num_retrans : number of retransmit
num_timeout : number of timeouts

num_timeout is the counter that is incremented at each timeout,
regardless of actual SYNACK being sent or not, and used to
compute the exponential timeout.

Introduce inet_rtx_syn_ack() helper to increment num_retrans
only if ->rtx_syn_ack() succeeded.

Use inet_rtx_syn_ack() from tcp_check_req() to increment num_retrans
when we re-send a SYNACK in answer to a (retransmitted) SYN.
Prior to this patch, we were not counting these retransmits.

Change tcp_v[46]_rtx_synack() to increment TCP_MIB_RETRANSSEGS
only if a synack packet was successfully queued.

7b07f8eb75 dccp: fix info leak via getsockopt(DCCP_SOCKOPT_CCID_TX_INFO)
The CCID3 code fails to initialize the trailing padding bytes of struct
tfrc_tx_info added for alignment on 64 bit architectures. It that for
potentially leaks four bytes kernel stack via the getsockopt() syscall.
Add an explicit memset(0) before filling the structure to avoid the

276bdb82de dccp: check ccid before dereferencing
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.

92101b3b2e ipv4: Prepare for change of rt->rt_iif encoding.
Use inet_iif() consistently, and for TCP record the input interface of
cached RX dst in inet sock.

rt->rt_iif is going to be encoded differently, so that we can
legitimately cache input routes in the FIB info more aggressively.

When the input interface is "use SKB device index" the rt->rt_iif will
be set to zero.

This forces us to move the TCP RX dst cache installation into the ipv4
specific code, and as well it should since doing the route caching for
ipv6 is pointless at the moment since it is not inspected in the ipv6
input paths yet.

Also, remove the unlikely on dst->obsolete, all ipv4 dsts have
obsolete set to a non-zero value to force invocation of the check
callback.

6700c2709c net: Pass optional SKB and SK arguments to dst_ops->{update_pmtu,redirect}()
This will be used so that we can compose a full flow key.

Even though we have a route in this context, we need more.  In the
future the routes will be without destination address, source address,
etc. keying.  One ipv4 route will cover entire subnets, etc.

In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage
for redirects and PMTU information.  This persistent storage will exist
in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a
full lookup flow key here.  Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup()
and create/update the persistent entry.

80d0a69fc5 ipv4: Add helper inet_csk_update_pmtu().
This abstracts away the call to dst_ops->update_pmtu() so that we can
transparently handle the fact that, in the future, the dst itself can
be invalidated by the PMTU update (when we have non-host routes cached
in sockets).

So we try to rebuild the socket cached route after the method
invocation if necessary.

This isn't used by SCTP because it needs to cache dsts per-transport,
and thus will need it's own local version of this helper.

81aded2467 ipv6: Handle PMTU in ICMP error handlers.
One tricky issue on the ipv6 side vs. ipv4 is that the ICMP callouts
to handle the error pass the 32-bit info cookie in network byte order
whereas ipv4 passes it around in host byte order.

Like the ipv4 side, we have two helper functions.  One for when we
have a socket context and one for when we do not.

ip6ip6 tunnels are not handled here, because they handle PMTU events
by essentially relaying another ICMP packet-too-big message back to
the original sender.

This patch allows us to get rid of rt6_do_pmtu_disc().  It handles all
kinds of situations that simply cannot happen when we do the PMTU
update directly using a fully resolved route.

In fact, the "plen == 128" check in ip6_rt_update_pmtu() can very
likely be removed or changed into a BUG_ON() check.  We should never
have a prefixed ipv6 route when we get there.

Another piece of strange history here is that TCP and DCCP, unlike in
ipv4, never invoke the update_pmtu() method from their ICMP error
handlers.  This is incredibly astonishing since this is the context
where we have the most accurate context in which to make a PMTU
update, namely we have a fully connected socket and associated cached
socket route.

f541fb7e20 dccp: fix bug in sequence number validation during connection setup
This fixes a bug in the sequence number validation during the initial handshake.

The code did not treat the initial sequence numbers ISS and ISR as read-only and
did not keep state for GSR and GSS as required by the specification. This causes
problems with retransmissions during the initial handshake, causing the
budding connection to be reset.

This patch now treats ISS/ISR as read-only and tracks GSS/GSR as required.

b903d324be ipv6: tcp: fix TCLASS value in ACK messages sent from TIME_WAIT
commit 66b13d99d9 (ipv4: tcp: fix TOS value in ACK messages sent from
TIME_WAIT) fixed IPv4 only.

This part is for the IPv6 side, adding a tclass param to ip6_xmit()

We alias tw_tclass and tw_tos, if socket family is INET6.

[ if sockets is ipv4-mapped, only IP_TOS socket option is used to fill
TOS field, TCLASS is not taken into account ]

6e5714eaf7 net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.
Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the
partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons.

MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)

Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
unpredictable is a very serious limitation.  So the periodic
regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed.  We compute and
use a full 32-bit sequence number.

For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

d96a9e8dd0 dccp ccid-2: check Ack Ratio when reducing cwnd
This patch causes CCID-2 to check the Ack Ratio after reducing the congestion
window. If the Ack Ratio is greater than the congestion window, it is
reduced. This prevents timeouts caused by an Ack Ratio larger than the
congestion window.

In this situation, we choose to set the Ack Ratio to half the congestion window
(or one if that's zero) so that if we loose one ack we don't trigger a timeout.

0ce95dc792 dccp ccid-2: increment cwnd correctly
This patch fixes an issue where CCID-2 will not increase the congestion
window for numerous RTTs after an idle period, application-limited period,
or a loss once the algorithm is in Congestion Avoidance.

What happens is that, when CCID-2 is in Congestion Avoidance mode, it will
increase hc->tx_packets_acked by one for every packet and will increment cwnd
every cwnd packets. However, if there is now an idle period in the connection,
cwnd will be reduced, possibly below the slow start threshold. This will
cause the connection to go into Slow Start. However, in Slow Start CCID-2
performs this test to increment cwnd every second ack:

	++hc->tx_packets_acked == 2

Unfortunately, this will be incorrect, if cwnd previous to the idle period
was larger than 2 and if tx_packets_acked was close to cwnd. For example:
	cwnd=50  and  tx_packets_acked=45.

In this case, the current code, will increment tx_packets_acked until it
equals two, which will only be once tx_packets_acked (an unsigned 32-bit
integer) overflows.

My fix is simply to change that test for tx_packets_acked greater than or
equal to two in slow start.

d346d886a4 dccp ccid-2: prevent cwnd > Sequence Window
Add a check to prevent CCID-2 from increasing the cwnd greater than the
Sequence Window.

When the congestion window becomes bigger than the Sequence Window, CCID-2
will attempt to keep more data in the network than the DCCP Sequence Window
code considers possible. This results in the Sequence Window code issuing
a Sync, thereby inducing needless overhead. Further, if this occurs at the
sender, CCID-2 will never detect the problem because the Acks it receives
will indicate no losses. I have seen this cause a drop of 1/3rd in throughput
for a connection.

Also add code to adjust the Sequence Window to be about 5 times the number of
packets in the network (RFC 4340, 7.5.2) and to adjust the Ack Ratio so that
the remote Sequence Window will hold about 5 times the number of packets in
the network. This allows the congestion window to increase correctly without
being limited by the Sequence Window.

31daf0393f dccp ccid-2: use feature-negotiation to report Ack Ratio changes
This uses the new feature-negotiation framework to signal Ack Ratio changes,
as required by RFC 4341, sec. 6.1.2.

That raises some problems with CCID-2, which at the moment can not cope
gracefully with Ack Ratios > 1. Since these issues are not directly related
to feature negotiation, they are marked by a FIXME.
