Zhu Yi [Thu, 22 Nov 2007 02:53:21 +0000 (10:53 +0800)]
mac80211: hardware scan rework

The scan code in mac80211 makes the software scan assumption in various
places. For example, we stop the Tx queue during a software scan so that
all the Tx packets will be queued by the stack. We also drop frames not
related to scan in the software scan process. But these are not true for
hardware scan.

Some wireless hardwares (for example iwl3945/4965) has the ability to
perform the whole scan process by hardware and/or firmware. The hardware
scan is relative powerful in that it tries to maintain normal network
traffic while doing a scan in the background. Some drivers (i.e iwlwifi)
do provide a way to tune the hardware scan parameters (for example if the
STA is associated, what's the max time could the STA leave from the
associated channel, how long the scans get suspended after returning to
the service channel, etc). But basically this is transparent to the
stack. mac80211 should not stop Tx queues or drop Rx packets during a
hardware scan.

This patch resolves the above problem by spliting the current scan
indicator local->sta_scanning into local->sta_sw_scanning and
local->sta_hw_scanning. It then changes the scan related code to be aware
of hardware scan or software scan in various places. With this patch,
iwlwifi performs much better in the scan-while-associated condition and
disable_hw_scan=1 should never be required.

[IPSEC]: SPD auditing fix to include the netmask/prefix-length

Currently the netmask/prefix-length of an IPsec SPD entry is not included in
any of the SPD related audit messages.  This can cause a problem when the
audit log is examined as the netmask/prefix-length is vital in determining
what network traffic is affected by a particular SPD entry.  This patch fixes
this problem by adding two additional fields, "src_prefixlen" and
"dst_prefixlen", to the SPD audit messages to indicate the source and
destination netmasks.  These new fields are only included in the audit message
when the netmask/prefix-length is less than the address length, i.e. the SPD
entry applies to a network address and not a host address.

Example audit message:

 type=UNKNOWN[1415] msg=audit(1196105849.752:25): auid=0 \
   subj=root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 op=SPD-add res=1 \
   src=192.168.0.0 src_prefixlen=24 dst=192.168.1.0 dst_prefixlen=24

In addition, this patch also fixes a few other things in the
xfrm_audit_common_policyinfo() function.  The IPv4 string formatting was
converted to use the standard NIPQUAD_FMT constant, the memcpy() was removed
from the IPv6 code path and replaced with a typecast (the memcpy() was acting
as a slow, implicit typecast anyway), and two local variables were created to
make referencing the XFRM security context and selector information cleaner.

[DCCP]: Integrate state transitions for passive-close

This adds the necessary state transitions for the two forms of passive-close

 * PASSIVE_CLOSE    - which is entered when a host   receives a Close;
 * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ - which is entered when a client receives a CloseReq.

Here is a detailed account of what the patch does in each state.

1) Receiving CloseReq

  The pseudo-code in 8.5 says:

     Step 13: Process CloseReq
          If P.type == CloseReq and S.state < CLOSEREQ,
              Generate Close
              S.state := CLOSING
              Set CLOSING timer.

  This means we need to address what to do in CLOSED, LISTEN, REQUEST, RESPOND, PARTOPEN, and OPEN.

   * CLOSED:         silently ignore - it may be a late or duplicate CloseReq;
   * LISTEN/RESPOND: will not appear, since Step 7 is performed first (we know we are the client);
   * REQUEST:        perform Step 13 directly (no need to enqueue packet);
   * OPEN/PARTOPEN:  enter PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ so that the application has a chance to process unread data.

  When already in PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ, no second CloseReq is enqueued. In any other state, the CloseReq is ignored.
  I think that this offers some robustness against rare and pathological cases: e.g. a simultaneous close where
  the client sends a Close and the server a CloseReq. The client will then be retransmitting its Close until it
  gets the Reset, so ignoring the CloseReq while in state CLOSING is sane.

2) Receiving Close

  The code below from 8.5 is unconditional.

     Step 14: Process Close
          If P.type == Close,
              Generate Reset(Closed)
              Tear down connection
              Drop packet and return

  Thus we need to consider all states:

[DCCP]: Dedicated auxiliary states to support passive-close

This adds two auxiliary states to deal with passive closes:
  * PASSIVE_CLOSE    (reached from OPEN via reception of Close)    and
  * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ (reached from OPEN via reception of CloseReq)
as internal intermediate states.

These states are used to allow a receiver to process unread data before
acknowledging the received connection-termination-request (the Close/CloseReq).

Without such support, it will happen that passively-closed sockets enter CLOSED
state while there is still unprocessed data in the queue; leading to unexpected
and erratic API behaviour.

PASSIVE_CLOSE has been mapped into TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT, so that the code will
seamlessly work with inet_accept() (which tests for this state).

The state names are thanks to Arnaldo, who suggested this naming scheme

    ------------------------------------------------------
The patch set migrates TFRC TX history to a singly-linked list.

The details are:
 * use of a consistent naming scheme (all TFRC functions now begin with `tfrc_');
 * allocation and cleanup are taken care of internally;
 * provision of a lookup function, which is used by the CCID TX infrastructure
   to determine the time a packet was sent (in turn used for RTT sampling);
 * integration of the new interface with the present use in CCID3.
    ------------------------------------------------------

Simplifications I did:

. removing the tfrc_tx_hist_head that had a pointer to the list head and
  another for the slabcache.
. No need for creating a slabcache for each CCID that wants to use the TFRC
  tx history routines, create a single slabcache when the dccp_tfrc_lib module

[CCID2]: Disable broken Ack Ratio adaptation algorithm

This comments out a problematic section comprising a half-finished algorithm:

 - The variable `ccid2hctx_ackloss' is never initialised to a value different from 0 and
   hence in fact is a read-only constant.
 - The `arsent' variable counts packets other than Acks (it is incremented for every packet),
   and there is no test for Ack Loss.
 - The concept of counting Acks as such leads to a complex calculation, and the calculation
   at the moment is inconsistent with this concept.
   The problem is that the number of Acks - rather than the number of windows - is counted,
   which leads to a complex (cubic/quadratic) expression - this is not even implemented.

In its current state, the commented-out algorithm interfers with normal processing by
changing Ack Ratio incorrectly, and at the wrong times.

A new algorithm is necessary, which will not necessarily use the same variables as used by
the unfinished one; hence the old variables have been removed.

[CCID2]: Deadlock and spurious timeouts when Ack Ratio > cwnd

This patch removes a bug in the current code. I agree with Andrea's comment
that there is a problem here but the way it is treated does not fix it.

The problem is that whenever Ack Ratio > cwnd, starvation/deadlock occurs:
 * the receiver will not send an Ack until (Ack Ratio - cwnd) data packets
   have arrived;
 * the sender will not send any data packet before the receipt of an Ack
   advances the send window.
The only way that the connection then progresses was via RTO timeout. In one
extreme case (bulk transfer), it was observed that this happened for every single
packet; i.e. hundreds of packets, each a RTO timeout of 1..3 seconds apart:
a transfer which normally would take a fraction of a second thus grew to
several minutes.

The solution taken by this approach is to observe the relation

                   "Ack Ratio <= cwnd"

by using the constraint (1) from RFC 4341, 6.1.2; i.e. set

                 Ack Ratio = ceil(cwnd / 2)

and update it whenever either Ack Ratio or cwnd change. This ensures that
the deadlock problem can not arise.

[DCCP]: Promote CCID2 as default CCID

This patch addresses the following problems:

 1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module
    enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to
    disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely
    non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available.
    Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without
    CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation.

 2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2
    (DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig
    menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when
    trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID).

 3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a
    `minimum common denominator'; the specification says that:

    * "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints"

    * "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a
       general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2.
       The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]"

    Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable.

Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added.

[DCCP]: Honour and make use of shutdown option set by user

This extends the DCCP socket API by honouring any shutdown(2) option set by the user.
The behaviour is, as much as possible, made consistent with the API for TCP's shutdown.

This patch exploits the information provided by the user via the socket API to reduce
processing costs:
 * if the read end is closed (SHUT_RD), it is not necessary to deliver to input CCID;
 * if the write end is closed (SHUT_WR), the same idea applies, but with a difference -
   as long as the TX queue has not been drained, we need to receive feedback to keep
   congestion-control rates up to date. Hence SHUT_WR is honoured only after the last
   packet (under congestion control) has been sent;
 * although SHUT_RDWR seems nonsensical, it is nevertheless supported in the same manner
   as for TCP (and agrees with test for SHUTDOWN_MASK in dccp_poll() in net/dccp/proto.c).

Furthermore, most of the code already honours the sk_shutdown flags (dccp_recvmsg() for
instance sets the read length to 0 if SHUT_RD had been called); CCID handling is now added
to this by the present patch.

There will also no longer be any delivery when the socket is in the final stages, i.e. when
one of dccp_close(), dccp_fin(), or dccp_done() has been called - which is fine since at
that stage the connection is its final stages.

Motivation and background are on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/shutdown

A FIXME has been added to notify the other end if SHUT_RD has been set (RFC 4340, 11.7).

Note: There is a comment in inet_shutdown() in net/ipv4/af_inet.c which asks to "make
      sure the socket is a TCP socket". This should probably be extended to mean

This changes the SIWTXPOWER ioctl to also accept a txpower setting of
"automatic". Since mac80211 currently cannot tell drivers to automatically
adjust tx power, we select the tx power level of the current channel. While
this is kind of a hack, it certainly saves some iwconfig users from headaches.

[NETPOLL]: Don't need rx_flags.

The rx_flags variable is redundant. Turning rx on/off is done
via setting the rx_np pointer.
