License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license

2017-11-02T10:20:11Z

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

tcp_diag: report TCP MD5 signing keys and addresses

2017-09-02T01:38:09Z

Report TCP MD5 (RFC2385) signing keys, addresses and address prefixes to processes with CAP_NET_ADMIN requesting INET_DIAG_INFO. Currently it is not possible to retrieve these from the kernel once they have been configured on sockets. Signed-off-by: Ivan Delalande Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: add related fields into SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS

tcp: md5: add TCP_MD5SIG_EXT socket option to set a key address prefix

2017-06-19T17:51:34Z

Replace first padding in the tcp_md5sig structure with a new flag field and address prefix length so it can be specified when configuring a new key for TCP MD5 signature. The tcpm_flags field will only be used if the socket option is TCP_MD5SIG_EXT to avoid breaking existing programs, and tcpm_prefixlen only when the TCP_MD5SIG_FLAG_PREFIX flag is set.

tcp: ULP infrastructure

2017-06-15T16:12:40Z

Add the infrustructure for attaching Upper Layer Protocols (ULPs) over TCP sockets. Based on a similar infrastructure in tcp_cong. The idea is that any ULP can add its own logic by changing the TCP proto_ops structure to its own methods. Example usage: setsockopt(sock, SOL_TCP, TCP_ULP, "tls", sizeof("tls")); modules will call: tcp_register_ulp(&tcp_tls_ulp_ops); to register/unregister their ulp, with an init function and name. A list of registered ulps will be returned by tcp_get_available_ulp, which is hooked up to /proc. Example: $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_available_ulp tls There is currently no functionality to remove or chain ULPs, but it should be possible to add these in the future if needed.

tcp: record pkts sent and retransmistted

2017-01-30T00:17:23Z

Add two stats in SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS: TCP_NLA_DATA_SEGS_OUT: total data packets sent including retransmission TCP_NLA_TOTAL_RETRANS: total data packets retransmitted The names are picked to be consistent with corresponding fields in TCP_INFO. This allows applications that are using the timestamping API to measure latency stats to also retrive retransmission rate of application write.

net/tcp-fastopen: Add new API support

2017-01-25T19:04:38Z

This patch adds a new socket option, TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT, as an alternative way to perform Fast Open on the active side (client). Prior to this patch, a client needs to replace the connect() call with sendto(MSG_FASTOPEN). This can be cumbersome for applications who want to use Fast Open: these socket operations are often done in lower layer libraries used by many other applications. Changing these libraries and/or the socket call sequences are not trivial. A more convenient approach is to perform Fast Open by simply enabling a socket option when the socket is created w/o changing other socket calls sequence: s = socket() create a new socket setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT …); newly introduced sockopt If set, new functionality described below will be used. Return ENOTSUPP if TFO is not supported or not enabled in the kernel. connect() With cookie present, return 0 immediately. With no cookie, initiate 3WHS with TFO cookie-request option and return -1 with errno = EINPROGRESS. write()/sendmsg() With cookie present, send out SYN with data and return the number of bytes buffered. With no cookie, and 3WHS not yet completed, return -1 with errno = EINPROGRESS. No MSG_FASTOPEN flag is needed. read() Return -1 with errno = EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN if connect() is called but write() is not called yet. Return -1 with errno = EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN if connection is established but no msg is received yet. Return number of bytes read if socket is established and there is msg received. The new API simplifies life for applications that always perform a write() immediately after a successful connect(). Such applications can now take advantage of Fast Open by merely making one new setsockopt() call at the time of creating the socket. Nothing else about the application's socket call sequence needs to change. Signed-off-by: Wei Wang Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS option for SO_TIMESTAMPING

2016-11-30T15:04:25Z

This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender limitation. For example, a video server can tell if a particular chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to tell before this patch without packet traces. To prepare these stats, the user needs to set SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS, in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME, TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED. Unit is microsecond. Signed-off-by: Francis Yan Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: export sender limits chronographs to TCP_INFO

2016-11-30T15:04:25Z

This patch exports all the sender chronograph measurements collected in the previous patches to TCP_INFO interface. Note that busy time exported includes all the other sending limits (rwnd-limited, sndbuf-limited). Internally the time unit is jiffy but externally the measurements are in microseconds for future extensions.

tcp: export data delivery rate

2016-09-21T04:23:00Z

This commit export two new fields in struct tcp_info: tcpi_delivery_rate: The most recent goodput, as measured by tcp_rate_gen(). If the socket is limited by the sending application (e.g., no data to send), it reports the highest measurement instead of the most recent. The unit is bytes per second (like other rate fields in tcp_info). tcpi_delivery_rate_app_limited: A boolean indicating if the goodput was measured when the socket's throughput was limited by the sending application. This delivery rate information can be useful for applications that want to know the current throughput the TCP connection is seeing, e.g. adaptive bitrate video streaming. It can also be very useful for debugging or troubleshooting.
