This patch addresses a book-keeping issue in tcp_vegas.c. At present
tcp_vegas does separate book-keeping of cwnd based on packet sequence
numbers. A mismatch can develop between this book-keeping and
tp->snd_cwnd due, for example, to delayed acks acking multiple
packets. When vegas transitions to reno operation (e.g. following
loss), then this mismatch leads to incorrect behaviour (akin to a cwnd
backoff). This seems mostly to affect operation at low cwnds where
delayed acking can lead to a significant fraction of cwnd being
covered by a single ack, leading to the book-keeping mismatch. This
patch modifies the congestion avoidance update to avoid the need for
separate book-keeping while leaving vegas congestion avoidance
functionally unchanged. A secondary advantage of this modification is
that the use of fixed-point (via V_PARAM_SHIFT) and 64 bit arithmetic
is no longer necessary, simplifying the code.
Some example test measurements with the patched code (confirming no functional
change in the congestion avoidance algorithm) can be seen at:

This patch fixes a bug in tcp_vegas.c. At the moment this code leaves
ssthresh untouched. However, this means that the vegas congestion
control algorithm is effectively unable to reduce cwnd below the
ssthresh value (if the vegas update lowers the cwnd below ssthresh,
then slow start is activated to raise it back up). One example where
this matters is when during slow start cwnd overshoots the link
capacity and a flow then exits slow start with ssthresh set to a value
above where congestion avoidance would like to adjust it.

I should have noticed this earlier... :-) The previous solution
to URG+GSO/TSO will cause SACK block tcp_fragment to do zig-zig
patterns, or even worse, a steep downward slope into packet
counting because each skb pcount would be truncated to pcount
of 2 and then the following fragments of the later portion would
restore the window again.
Basically this reverts "tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is
urgent data" (33cf71cee1). It also removes some unnecessary code
from tcp_current_mss that didn't work as intented either (could
be that something was changed down the road, or it might have
been broken since the dawn of time) because it only works once
urg is already written while this bug shows up starting from
~64k before the urg point.
The retransmissions already are split to mss sized chunks, so
only new data sending paths need splitting in case they have
a segment otherwise suitable for gso/tso. The actually check
can be improved to be more narrow but since this is late -rc
already, I'll postpone thinking the more fine-grained things.

This patch fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12014
Since most (if not all) implementations of TSO and even the in-kernel
software GSO do not update the urgent pointer when splitting a large
segment, it is necessary to turn off TSO/GSO for all outgoing traffic
with the URG pointer set.
Looking at tcp_current_mss (and the preceding comment) I even think
this was the original intention. However, this approach is insufficient,
because TSO/GSO is turned off only for newly created frames, not for
frames which were already pending at the arrival of a message with
MSG_OOB set. These frames were created when TSO/GSO was enabled,
so they may be large, and they will have the urgent pointer set
in tcp_transmit_skb().
With this patch, such large packets will be fragmented again before
going to the transmit routine.
As a side note, at least the following NICs are known to screw up
the urgent pointer in the TCP header when doing TSO:
Intel 82566MM (PCI ID 8086:1049)
Intel 82566DC (PCI ID 8086:104b)
Intel 82541GI (PCI ID 8086:1076)

Similarly to IPv6 ip6_mr_init() (fixed last week), the order of cleanup
operations in the error/exit section of ip_mr_init() is completely
inversed. It should be the other way around.
Also a del_timer() is missing in the error path.
I should have guessed last week that this same error existed in ipmr.c
too, as ip6mr.c is largely inspired by ipmr.c.

This patch fixes a minor bug in tcp_htcp.c which has been
highlighted by Lachlan Andrew and Lawrence Stewart. Currently, the
time since the last congestion event, which is stored in variable
last_cong, is reset whenever there is a state change into
TCP_CA_Open. This includes transitions of the type
TCP_CA_Open->TCP_CA_Disorder->TCP_CA_Open which are not associated
with backoff of cwnd. The patch changes last_cong to be updated
only on transitions into TCP_CA_Open that occur after experiencing
the congestion-related states TCP_CA_Loss, TCP_CA_Recovery,
TCP_CA_CWR.

While adding MIGRATE support to strongSwan, Andreas Steffen noticed that
the selectors provided in XFRM_MSG_ACQUIRE have their family field
uninitialized (those in MIGRATE do have their family set).
Looking at the code, this is because the af-specific init_tempsel()

This is not our bug! Sadly some devices cannot cope with the change
of TCP option ordering which was a result of the recent rewrite of
the option code (not that there was some particular reason steming
from the rewrite for the reordering) though any ordering of TCP
options is perfectly legal. Thus we restore the original ordering
to allow interoperability with/through such broken devices and add
some warning about this trap. Since the reordering just happened
without any particular reason, this change shouldn't cost us
anything.
There are already couple of known failure reports (within close
proximity of the last release), so the problem might be more
wide-spread than a single device. And other reports which may
be due to the same problem though the symptoms were less obvious.
Analysis of one of the case revealed (with very high probability)
that sack capability cannot be negotiated as the first option
(SYN never got a response).

While looking for the recent "sack issue" I also read all eff_sacks
usage that was played around by some relevant commit. I found
out that there's another thing that is asking for a fix (unrelated
to the "sack issue" though).
This feature has probably very little significance in practice.
Opposite direction timeout with bidirectional tcp comes to me as
the most likely scenario though there might be other cases as
well related to non-data segments we send (e.g., response to the
opposite direction segment). Also some ACK losses or option space
wasted for other purposes is necessary to prevent the earlier
SACK feedback getting to the sender.

nf_nat
This patch removes the module dependency between ctnetlink and
nf_nat by means of an indirect call that is initialized when
nf_nat is loaded. Now, nf_conntrack_netlink only requires
nf_conntrack and nfnetlink.
This patch puts nfnetlink_parse_nat_setup_hook into the
nf_conntrack_core to avoid dependencies between ctnetlink,
nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack_ipv6.
This patch also introduces the function ctnetlink_change_nat
that is only invoked from the creation path. Actually, the
nat handling cannot be invoked from the update path since
this is not allowed. By introducing this function, we remove
the useless nat handling in the update path and we avoid
deadlock-prone code.
This patch also adds the required EAGAIN logic for nfnetlink.

Nir Tzachar <nir.tzachar@gmail.com> reported a warning when sending
fragments over loopback with NAT:
[ 6658.338121] WARNING: at net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_standalone.c:89 nf_nat_fn+0x33/0x155()
The reason is that defragmentation is skipped for already tracked connections.
This is wrong in combination with NAT and ip_conntrack actually had some ifdefs
to avoid this behaviour when NAT is compiled in.
The entire "optimization" may seem a bit silly, for now simply restoring the
lost #ifdef is the easiest solution until we can come up with something better.

This patch accomplishes three minor tasks: add a new tag type for local
labeling, rename the CIPSO_V4_MAP_STD define to CIPSO_V4_MAP_TRANS and
replace some of the CIPSO "magic numbers" with constants from the header
file. The first change allows CIPSO to support full LSM labels/contexts,
not just MLS attributes. The second change brings the mapping names inline
with what userspace is using, compatibility is preserved since we don't
actually change the value. The last change is to aid readability and help

NetLabel has always had a list of backpointers in the CIPSO DOI definition
structure which pointed to the NetLabel LSM domain mapping structures which
referenced the CIPSO DOI struct. The rationale for this was that when an
administrator removed a CIPSO DOI from the system all of the associated
NetLabel LSM domain mappings should be removed as well; a list of
backpointers made this a simple operation.
Unfortunately, while the backpointers did make the removal easier they were
a bit of a mess from an implementation point of view which was making
further development difficult. Since the removal of a CIPSO DOI is a
realtively rare event it seems to make sense to remove this backpointer
list as the optimization was hurting us more then it was helping. However,
we still need to be able to track when a CIPSO DOI definition is being used
so replace the backpointer list with a reference count. In order to
preserve the current functionality of removing the associated LSM domain
mappings when a CIPSO DOI is removed we walk the LSM domain mapping table,
removing the relevant entries.

Now that we have dev->needed_headroom, we can use it instead of
having a bogus dev->hard_header_len. This also allows us to

automatically in figuring out the MTU.
Incidentally, this fixes a bug where we ignored the needed_headroom

Current UDP port allocation is suboptimal.
We select the shortest chain to chose a port (out of 512)
that will hash in this shortest chain.
First, it can lead to give not so ramdom ports and ease
give attackers more opportunities to break the system.
Second, it can consume a lot of CPU to scan all table
in order to find the shortest chain.
Third, in some pathological cases we can fail to find
a free port even if they are plenty of them.
This patch zap the search for a short chain and only
use one random seed. Problem of getting long chains
should be addressed in another way, since we can
obtain long chains with non random ports.
