* [INET]: Collect common frag sysctl variables togetherPavel Emelyanov2007-10-151-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some sysctl variables are used to tune the frag queues management and it will be useful to work with them in a common way in the future, so move them into one structure, moreover they are the same for all the frag management codes. I don't place them in the existing inet_frags object, introduced in the previous patch for two reasons: 1. to keep them in the __read_mostly section; 2. not to export the whole inet_frags objects outside.

* [INET]: local port range robustnessStephen Hemminger2007-10-111-4/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expansion of original idea from Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Add robustness and locking to the local_port_range sysctl. 1. Enforce that low < high when setting. 2. Use seqlock to ensure atomic update. The locking might seem like overkill, but there are cases where sysadmin might want to change value in the middle of a DoS attack.

* [IPV4]: Convert IPv4 devconf to an arrayHerbert Xu2007-06-071-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | This patch converts the ipv4_devconf config members (everything except sysctl) to an array. This allows easier manipulation which will be needed later on to provide better management of default config values. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TCP]: Add two new spurious RTO responses to FRTOIlpo Järvinen2007-04-261-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New sysctl tcp_frto_response is added to select amongst these responses: - Rate halving based; reuses CA_CWR state (default) - Very conservative; used to be the only one available (=1) - Undo cwr; undoes ssthresh and cwnd reductions (=2) The response with rate halving requires a new parameter to tcp_enter_cwr because FRTO has already reduced ssthresh and doing a second reduction there has to be prevented. In addition, to keep things nice on 80 cols screen, a local variable was added. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [TCP]: Restrict congestion control choices.Stephen Hemminger2006-12-031-0/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow normal users to only choose among a restricted set of congestion control choices. The default is reno and what ever has been configured as default. But the policy can be changed by administrator at any time. For example, to allow any choice: cp /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_available_congestion_control \ /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_allowed_congestion_control Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NetLabel]: CIPSOv4 enginePaul Moore2006-09-221-0/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for the Commercial IP Security Option (CIPSO) to the IPv4 network stack. CIPSO has become a de-facto standard for trusted/labeled networking amongst existing Trusted Operating Systems such as Trusted Solaris, HP-UX CMW, etc. This implementation is designed to be used with the NetLabel subsystem to provide explicit packet labeling to LSM developers. The CIPSO/IPv4 packet labeling works by the LSM calling a NetLabel API function which attaches a CIPSO label (IPv4 option) to a given socket; this in turn attaches the CIPSO label to every packet leaving the socket without any extra processing on the outbound side. On the inbound side the individual packet's sk_buff is examined through a call to a NetLabel API function to determine if a CIPSO/IPv4 label is present and if so the security attributes of the CIPSO label are returned to the caller of the NetLabel API function.

* [TCP]: sysctl to allow TCP window > 32767 sans wscaleRick Jones2006-03-211-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Back in the dark ages, we had to be conservative and only allow 15-bit window fields if the window scale option was not negotiated. Some ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of the TCP header and would get confused. Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default now. There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old stacks Signed-off-by: Rick Jones <rick.jones2@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [IPV4]: Safer reassemblyHerbert Xu2006-01-031-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Another spin of Herbert Xu's "safer ip reassembly" patch for 2.6.16. (The original patch is here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112281936522415&w=2 and my only contribution is to have tested it.) This patch (optionally) does additional checks before accepting IP fragments, which can greatly reduce the possibility of reassembling fragments which originated from different IP datagrams.

* [TCP]: Appropriate Byte Count supportStephen Hemminger2005-11-111-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an updated version of the RFC3465 ABC patch originally for Linux 2.6.11-rc4 by Yee-Ting Li. ABC is a way of counting bytes ack'd rather than packets when updating congestion control. The orignal ABC described in the RFC applied to a Reno style algorithm. For advanced congestion control there is little change after leaving slow start. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [IPV4]: Sysctl configurable icmp error source address.J. Simonetti2005-06-141-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch alows you to change the source address of icmp error messages. It applies cleanly to 2.6.11.11 and retains the default behaviour. In the old (default) behaviour icmp error messages are sent with the ip of the exiting interface. The new behaviour (when the sysctl variable is toggled on), it will send the message with the ip of the interface that received the packet that caused the icmp error. This is the behaviour network administrators will expect from a router. It makes debugging complicated network layouts much easier. Also, all 'vendor routers' I know of have the later behaviour.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-171-0/+698
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
