all open TCP connections in tcp_slowtimo() (which is called 2x
per second). It's fairly rare for TCP timers to actually fire,
so saving this list traversal is good, especially if you want
to scale to thousands of open connections.
and call it directly from tcp_slowtimo() (via a table) rather
than going through tcp_userreq().
This will allow us to call TCP timers directly from callouts,
in a future revision.
Instead of incrementing t_idle and t_rtt in tcp_slowtimo(), we now
take a timstamp (via tcp_now) and use subtraction to compute the
delta when we actually need it (using unsigned arithmetic so that
tcp_now wrapping is handled correctly).
Based on similar changes in FreeBSD.
when ip header and tcp header are not adjacent to each other
(i.e. when ip6 options are attached).
To test this, try
telnet @::1@::1 port
toward a port without responding server. Prior to the fix, the kernel will
generate broken RST packet.
(Sorry for a big commit, I can't separate this into several pieces...)
Pls check sys/netinet6/TODO and sys/netinet6/IMPLEMENTATION for details.
- sys/kern: do not assume single mbuf, accept chained mbuf on passing
data from userland to kernel (or other way round).
- "midway" ATM card: ATM PVC pseudo device support, like those done in ALTQ
package (ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/pub/kjc/).
- sys/netinet/tcp*: IPv4/v6 dual stack tcp support.
- sys/netinet/{ip6,icmp6}.h, sys/net/pfkeyv2.h: IETF document assumes those
file to be there so we patch it up.
- sys/netinet: IPsec additions are here and there.
- sys/netinet6/*: most of IPv6 code sits here.
- sys/netkey: IPsec key management code
- dev/pci/pcidevs: regen
In my understanding no code here is subject to export control so it
should be safe.
conditional (tcp_compat_42). The kernel config option TCP_COMPAT_42
will still enable this by default, or disable this by default if the
option is not included (i.e. current behavior). This will be made a
sysctl soon.
code, as clarified in the TCPIMPL WG meeting at IETF #41: If the SYN
(active open) or SYN,ACK (passive open) was retransmitted, the initial
congestion window for the first slow start of that connection must be
one segment.
RTO estimation changes. Under some circumstances it would return a value
of 0, while the old Van Jacobson RTO code would return a minimum of 3.
This would result in 12 retransmissions, each 1 second apart.
This takes care of those instances, and ensures that t_rttmin is
used everywhere as a lower bound.
- When running the slow timers, skip PCBs in LISTEN state.
- When processing the persist timer, drop the connection if the connection
idle time exceeds the maximum backoff for retransmit. Part of
kern/2335 (pete@daemon.net).
The sysctl'able variable "tcp_init_win", when set to 0, selects an
auto-tuning algorithm for selecting the initial window, based on transmit
segment size, per discussion in the IETF tcpimpl working group.
Default initial window is still 1 segment, but will soon become 2 segments,
per discussion in tcpimpl.
in tcp_output(), and it will only be cleared in tcp_output() if the ACK was
transmitted sucessfully. Also, don't count delayed ACKs here, let tcp_output()
count them.
