Rather than including lock.h in in_pcbgroup.c in right order, fix it
for all consumers of in_pcb.h by further header file pollution under
#ifdef KERNEL.
Reported by: Pan Tsu (inyaoo gmail.com)
struct inpcbgroup. pcbgroups, or "connection groups", supplement the
existing inpcbinfo connection hash table, which when pcbgroups are
enabled, might now be thought of more usefully as a per-protocol
4-tuple reservation table.
Connections are assigned to connection groups base on a hash of their
4-tuple; wildcard sockets require special handling, and are members
of all connection groups. During a connection lookup, a
per-connection group lock is employed rather than the global pcbinfo
lock. By aligning connection groups with input path processing,
connection groups take on an effective CPU affinity, especially when
aligned with RSS work placement (see a forthcoming commit for
details). This eliminates cache line migration associated with
global, protocol-layer data structures in steady state TCP and UDP
processing (with the exception of protocol-layer statistics; further
commit to follow).
Elements of this approach were inspired by Willman, Rixner, and Cox's
2006 USENIX paper, "An Evaluation of Network Stack Parallelization
Strategies in Modern Operating Systems". However, there are also
significant differences: we maintain the inpcb lock, rather than using
the connection group lock for per-connection state.
Likewise, the focus of this implementation is alignment with NIC
packet distribution strategies such as RSS, rather than pure software
strategies. Despite that focus, software distribution is supported
through the parallel netisr implementation, and works well in
configurations where the number of hardware threads is greater than
the number of NIC input queues, such as in the RMI XLR threaded MIPS
architecture.
Another important difference is the continued maintenance of existing
hash tables as "reservation tables" -- these are useful both to
distinguish the resource allocation aspect of protocol name management
and the more common-case lookup aspect. In configurations where
connection tables are aligned with hardware hashes, it is desirable to
use the traditional lookup tables for loopback or encapsulated traffic
rather than take the expense of hardware hashes that are hard to
implement efficiently in software (such as RSS Toeplitz).
Connection group support is enabled by compiling "options PCBGROUP"
into your kernel configuration; for the time being, this is an
experimental feature, and hence is not enabled by default.
Subject to the limited MFCability of change dependencies in inpcb,
and its change to the inpcbinfo init function signature, this change
in principle could be merged to FreeBSD 8.x.

- The existing ipi_lock continues to protect the global inpcb list and
inpcb counter. This lock is now relegated to a small number of
allocation and free operations, and occasional operations that walk
all connections (including, awkwardly, certain UDP multicast receive
operations -- something to revisit).
- A new ipi_hash_lock protects the two inpcbinfo hash tables for
looking up connections and bound sockets, manipulated using new
INP_HASH_*() macros. This lock, combined with inpcb locks, protects
the 4-tuple address space.
Unlike the current ipi_lock, ipi_hash_lock follows the individual inpcb
connection locks, so may be acquired while manipulating a connection on
which a lock is already held, avoiding the need to acquire the inpcbinfo
lock preemptively when a binding change might later be required. As a
result, however, lookup operations necessarily go through a reference
acquire while holding the lookup lock, later acquiring an inpcb lock --
if required.
A new function in_pcblookup() looks up connections, and accepts flags
indicating how to return the inpcb. Due to lock order changes, callers
no longer need acquire locks before performing a lookup: the lookup
routine will acquire the ipi_hash_lock as needed. In the future, it will
also be able to use alternative lookup and locking strategies
transparently to callers, such as pcbgroup lookup. New lookup flags are,
supplementing the existing INPLOOKUP_WILDCARD flag:
INPLOOKUP_RLOCKPCB - Acquire a read lock on the returned inpcb
INPLOOKUP_WLOCKPCB - Acquire a write lock on the returned inpcb
Callers must pass exactly one of these flags (for the time being).
Some notes:
- All protocols are updated to work within the new regime; especially,
TCP, UDPv4, and UDPv6. pcbinfo ipi_lock acquisitions are largely
eliminated, and global hash lock hold times are dramatically reduced
compared to previous locking.
- The TCP syncache still relies on the pcbinfo lock, something that we
may want to revisit.
- Support for reverting to the FreeBSD 7.x locking strategy in TCP input
is no longer available -- hash lookup locks are now held only very
briefly during inpcb lookup, rather than for potentially extended
periods. However, the pcbinfo ipi_lock will still be acquired if a
connection state might change such that a connection is added or
removed.
- Raw IP sockets continue to use the pcbinfo ipi_lock for protection,
due to maintaining their own hash tables.
- The interface in6_pcblookup_hash_locked() is maintained, which allows
callers to acquire hash locks and perform one or more lookups atomically
with 4-tuple allocation: this is required only for TCPv6, as there is no
in6_pcbconnect_setup(), which there should be.
- UDPv6 locking remains significantly more conservative than UDPv4
locking, which relates to source address selection. This needs
attention, as it likely significantly reduces parallelism in this code
for multithreaded socket use (such as in BIND).
- In the UDPv4 and UDPv6 multicast cases, we need to revisit locking
somewhat, as they relied on ipi_lock to stablise 4-tuple matches, which
is no longer sufficient. A second check once the inpcb lock is held
should do the trick, keeping the general case from requiring the inpcb
lock for every inpcb visited.
- This work reminds us that we need to revisit locking of the v4/v6 flags,
which may be accessed lock-free both before and after this change.
- Right now, a single lock name is used for the pcbhash lock -- this is
undesirable, and probably another argument is required to take care of
this (or a char array name field in the pcbinfo?).
This is not an MFC candidate for 8.x due to its impact on lookup and
locking semantics. It's possible some of these issues could be worked
around with compatibility wrappers, if necessary.

reworking of inpcbinfo locking:
(1) Convert inpcb reference counting from manually manipulated integers to
the refcount(9) KPI. This allows the refcount to be managed atomically
with an inpcb read lock rather than write lock, or even with no inpcb
lock at all. As a result, in_pcbref() also no longer requires an inpcb
lock, so can be performed solely using the lock used to look up an
inpcb.
(2) Shift more inpcb freeing activity from the in_pcbrele() context (via
in_pcbfree_internal) to the explicit in_pcbfree() context. This means
that the inpcb refcount is increasingly used only to maintain memory
stability, not actually defer the clean up of inpcb protocol parts.
This is desirable as many of those protocol parts required the pcbinfo
lock, which we'd like not to acquire in in_pcbrele() contexts. Document
this in comments better.
(3) Introduce new read-locked and write-locked in_pcbrele() variations,
in_pcbrele_rlocked() and in_pcbrele_wlocked(), which allow the inpcb to
be properly unlocked as needed. in_pcbrele() is a wrapper around the
latter, and should probably go away at some point. This makes it
easier to use this weak reference model when holding only a read lock,
as will happen in the future.

buffer fills up causing the remote sender to enter into persist mode, but
there is still room available in the receive buffer when a window probe
arrives (either due to window scaling, or due to the local application
very slowing draining data from the receive buffer), then the single byte
of data in the window probe is accepted. However, this can cause rcv_nxt
to be greater than rcv_adv. This condition will only last until the next
ACK packet is pushed out via tcp_output(), and since the previous ACK
advertised a zero window, the ACK should be pushed out while the TCP
pcb is write-locked.
During the window while rcv_nxt is greather than rcv_adv, a few places
would compute the remaining receive window via rcv_adv - rcv_nxt.
However, this value was then (uint32_t)-1. On a 64 bit machine this
could expand to a positive 2^32 - 1 when cast to a long. In particular,
when calculating the receive window in tcp_output(), the result would be
that the receive window was computed as 2^32 - 1 resulting in advertising
a far larger window to the remote peer than actually existed.
Fix various places that compute the remaining receive window to either
assert that it is not negative (i.e. rcv_nxt <= rcv_adv), or treat the
window as full if rcv_nxt is greather than rcv_adv.

persist state and the retransmit timer. However, the code that implements
"bad retransmit recovery" only checks t_rxtshift to see if an ACK has been
received in during the first retransmit timeout window. As a result, if
ticks has wrapped over to a negative value and a socket is in the persist
state, it can incorrectly treat an ACK from the remote peer as a
"bad retransmit recovery" and restore saved values such as snd_ssthresh and
snd_cwnd. However, if the socket has never had a retransmit timeout, then
these saved values will be zero, so snd_ssthresh and snd_cwnd will be set
to 0.
If the socket is in fast recovery (this can be caused by excessive
duplicate ACKs such as those fixed by 220794), then each ACK that arrives
triggers either NewReno or SACK partial ACK handling which clamps snd_cwnd
to be no larger than snd_ssthresh. In effect, the socket's send window
is permamently stuck at 0 even though the remote peer is advertising a
much larger window and pending data is only sent via TCP window probes
(so one byte every few seconds).
Fix this by adding a new TCP pcb flag (TF_PREVVALID) that indicates that
the various snd_*_prev fields in the pcb are valid and only perform
"bad retransmit recovery" if this flag is set in the pcb. The flag is set
on the first retransmit timeout that occurs and is cleared on subsequent
retransmit timeouts or when entering the persist state.

window scaling. Specifically, if the window scaling factor is larger than
2 * MSS, then after the local reader has drained 2 * MSS bytes from the

This can result in an excessive number of duplicate ACKs when using a

algorithm described in the paper "Improved coexistence and loss tolerance for
delay based TCP congestion control" by Hayes and Armitage. It is implemented as
a kernel module compatible with the recently committed modular congestion
control framework.
CHD enhances the approach taken by the Hamilton-Delay (HD) algorithm to provide
tolerance to non-congestion related packet loss and improvements to coexistence
with loss-based congestion control algorithms. A key idea in improving
coexistence with loss-based congestion control algorithms is the use of a shadow
window, which attempts to track how NewReno's congestion window (cwnd) would
evolve. At the next packet loss congestion event, CHD uses the shadow window to
correct cwnd in a way that reduces the amount of unfairness CHD experiences when
competing with loss-based algorithms.

algorithm based on the paper "A strategy for fair coexistence of loss and
delay-based congestion control algorithms" by Budzisz, Stanojevic, Shorten and
Baker. It is implemented as a kernel module compatible with the recently
committed modular congestion control framework.
HD uses a probabilistic approach to reacting to delay-based congestion. The
probability of reducing cwnd is zero when the queuing delay is very small,
increasing to a maximum at a set threshold, then back down to zero again when
the queuing delay is high. Normal operation keeps the queuing delay below the
set threshold. However, since loss-based congestion control algorithms push the
queuing delay high when probing for bandwidth, having the probability of
reducing cwnd drop back to zero for high delays allows HD to compete with
loss-based algorithms.

VEGAS uses network delay as a congestion indicator and unlike regular loss-based
algorithms, attempts to keep the network operating with stable queuing delays
and no congestion losses. By keeping network buffers used along the path within
a set range, queuing delays are kept low while maintaining high throughput.

Switch to a fixed length sbuf which should be of sufficient size except in the
very unlikely event that the sysctl is being processed as one or more new
algorithms are loaded. If that happens, we accept the race and may fail the
sysctl gracefully if there is insufficient room to print the names of all the

This should address a WITNESS warning and the potential panic that would occur

- The mean RTT is updated at the end of each congestion epoch, but if we switch
to congestion avoidance within the first epoch (e.g. if ssthresh was primed
from the hostcache), we'll trigger a divide by zero panic in
cubic_ack_received(). Set the mean to the min in cubic_record_rtt() if the
mean is less than the min to ensure we have a sane mean for use in this
situation. This fixes the panic reported by Nick Hibma.
- Adjust conditions under which we update the mean RTT in cubic_post_recovery()
to ensure a low latency path won't yield an RTT of less than 1. This avoids
another potential divide by zero panic when running CUBIC in networks with
sub-millisecond latencies.
- Remove the "safety" assignment of min into mean when we don't update the mean
because of failed conditions. The above change to the conditions for updating
the mean ensures the safety issue is addressed and I feel it is better to keep
our previous mean estimate around if we can't update than to revert to the
min.
- Initialise the mean RTT to 1 on connection startup to act as a safety belt if
a situation we haven't considered and addressed with the above changes were to
