tcp: cubic: fix bug in bictcp_acked()

2013-09-14T13:02:09Z

[ Upstream commit cd6b423afd3c08b27e1fed52db828ade0addbc6b ] While investigating about strange increase of retransmit rates on hosts ~24 days after boot, Van found hystart was disabled if ca->epoch_start was 0, as following condition is true when tcp_time_stamp high order bit is set. (s32)(tcp_time_stamp - ca->epoch_start) < HZ Quoting Van : At initialization & after every loss ca->epoch_start is set to zero so I believe that the above line will turn off hystart as soon as the 2^31 bit is set in tcp_time_stamp & hystart will stay off for 24 days. I think we've observed that cubic's restart is too aggressive without hystart so this might account for the higher drop rate we observe.

tcp: cubic: fix overflow error in bictcp_update()

2013-09-14T13:02:09Z

[ Upstream commit 2ed0edf9090bf4afa2c6fc4f38575a85a80d4b20 ] commit 17a6e9f1aa9 ("tcp_cubic: fix clock dependency") added an overflow error in bictcp_update() in following code : /* change the unit from HZ to bictcp_HZ */ t = ((tcp_time_stamp + msecs_to_jiffies(ca->delay_min>>3) - ca->epoch_start) << BICTCP_HZ) / HZ; Because msecs_to_jiffies() being unsigned long, compiler does implicit type promotion. We really want to constrain (tcp_time_stamp - ca->epoch_start) to a signed 32bit value, or else 't' has unexpected high values. This bugs triggers an increase of retransmit rates ~24 days after boot [1], as the high order bit of tcp_time_stamp flips. [1] for hosts with HZ=1000 Big thanks to Van Jacobson for spotting this problem.

ipv4: Fixed MD5 key lookups when adding/ removing MD5 to/ from TCP sockets.

2013-07-28T23:25:56Z

[ Upstream commit c0353c7b5da4cbd2ab8227e84bbc9c79890f24ce ] MD5 key lookups on a given TCP socket were being performed incorrectly. This fix alters parameter inputs to the MD5 lookup function tcp_md5_do_lookup, which is called by functions tcp_md5_do_add and tcp_md5_do_del. Specifically, the change now inputs the correct address and address family required to make a proper lookup. Signed-off-by: Aydin Arik Signed-off-by: David S.

ip_tunnel: fix kernel panic with icmp_dest_unreach

2013-06-27T18:27:32Z

[ Upstream commit a622260254ee481747cceaaa8609985b29a31565 ] Daniel Petre reported crashes in icmp_dst_unreach() with following call graph: Daniel found a similar problem mentioned in http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1007.0/00961.html And indeed this is the root cause : skb->cb[] contains data fooling IP stack. We must clear IPCB in ip_tunnel_xmit() sooner in case dst_link_failure() is called. Or else skb->cb[] might contain garbage from GSO segmentation layer. A similar fix was tested on linux-3.9, but gre code was refactored in linux-3.10. I'll send patches for stable kernels as well. Many thanks to Daniel for providing reports, patches and testing !

tcp: bug fix in proportional rate reduction.

2013-06-27T18:27:31Z

[ Upstream commit 35f079ebbc860dcd1cca70890c9c8d59c1145525 ] This patch is a fix for a bug triggering newly_acked_sacked < 0 in tcp_ack(.). The bug is triggered by sacked_out decreasing relative to prior_sacked, but packets_out remaining the same as pior_packets. This is because the snapshot of prior_packets is taken after tcp_sacktag_write_queue() while prior_sacked is captured before tcp_sacktag_write_queue(). The problem is: tcp_sacktag_write_queue (tcp_match_skb_to_sack() -> tcp_fragment) adjusts the pcount for packets_out and sacked_out (MSS change or other reason). As a result, this delta in pcount is reflected in (prior_sacked - sacked_out) but not in (prior_packets - packets_out). This patch does the following: 1) initializes prior_packets at the start of tcp_ack() so as to capture the delta in packets_out created by tcp_fragment. 2) introduces a new "previous_packets_out" variable that snapshots packets_out right before tcp_clean_rtx_queue, so pkts_acked can be correctly computed as before. 3) Computes pkts_acked using previous_packets_out, and computes newly_acked_sacked using prior_packets.
