This version is functional and is aproaching solid..
notice I said APROACHING. There are many node types I cannot test
I have tested: echo hole ppp socket vjc iface tee bpf async tty
The rest compile and "Look" right. More changes to follow.
DEBUGGING is enabled in this code to help if people have problems.
format version number. (userland programs should not need to be
recompiled when the netgraph kernel internal ABI is changed.
Also fix modules that don;t handle the fact that a caller may not supply
a return message pointer. (benign at the moment because the calling code
checks, but that will change)
This clears out my outstanding netgraph changes.
There is a netgraph change of design in the offing and this is to some
extent a superset of soem of the new functionality and some of the old
functionality that may be removed.
This code works as before, but allows some new features that I want to
work with and evaluate. It is the basis for a version of netgraph
with integral locking for SMP use.
This is running on my test machine with no new problems :-)
- It's worthwhile to use untimeout(9), even though we must still protect
against "false" timeouts, because most of the time it saves having to
handle a dummy timeout event.
- Slight tweaks to the delayed ACK algorithm paramters.
- Fix slowness when operating over fast connections, where the timeout(9)
granularity is on the same order of magnitude as the round trip time.
timeout(9) can happen up to 1 tick early, which was causing receive
ack timeouts to happen too early, causing bogus "lost" packets.
- Increase the local time counter to 64 bits to avoid roll-over.
- Keep statistics on memory allocation failures.
- Add a new option to always include the ack when sending data packets.
Might be useful in high packet loss situations. Might not.
instead of bumping the recvAck counter by one, pretend that
all outstanding xmit packets are acknowleged, and restart
transmitting anew, with an empty (but halved) transmit window.
Put a lower bound on the adaptive timeout value.
world seems to interpret the spec this way
- Initialize transmit window to two instead of one; helps get things
going initially when the first packet may get dropped
- Really fix the shutdown + timeout race condition this time
- Properly handle 32 bit sequence numbers when they wrap around
- Don't drop GRE packets with stale ACK numbers, just ignore the ACK
- Close race between node being shutdown and timer going off
Also add support for lots of statistics, and control message ASCIIfication
