2018-03-13SCTP: cumulative SACK fixMarco Varlese1-1/+12
A bug was found affecting the cumulative sending of SACK messages. Because the next0 was never assigned to the next_output the SACK message was never leaving the peer. Further, two new flags have been added to distinguish when a peer is AWAITING a SACK message (e.g. DATA is inflight and waiting to be acknowledged).

2018-03-05SCTP: API to configure some tunablesMarco Varlese1-12/+22
This patch adds the possibility to configure some behaviors of the SCTP stack based on some tunable parameters (mainly ON/OFF). For the time being, that is limited to the bundling option (multiplexing messages) and to delaying the SACK message. Change-Id: I696493e0309e47163c1e119c7d9f82f7d8ee6b87 Signed-off-by: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@suse.com>
2018-03-05SCTP: retransmission in INIT/SHUTDOWN phaseMarco Varlese1-4/+8
This patch addresses the need to handle timers timeouts (e.g. sent chunks not being acked) for both the INIT and SHUTDOWN phases. The INIT phase requires the handling of two timers the T1-init and T1-cookie timers whilst the SHUTDOWN phase requires the handling of the T2-shutdown timer only for the retransmission case. Left to be implemented is the handling of the DATA chunks retransmission (e.g. T3-rxtx expiration) but that will be submitted with a separate patch.

2018-03-01SCTP: API to delete a sub-connectionMarco Varlese1-0/+8
This patch adds an API to delete a sub-connection following a SRC/DST IP mapping as required by the RFC4960. Change-Id: I7673dd07352557442ffeed6c6c00da274b24953d Signed-off-by: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@suse.com>
2018-03-01SCTP: API to add a sub-connectionMarco Varlese1-6/+26
This patch adds an API to add a sub-connection following a SRC/DST IP mapping as required by the RFC4960. At the same time, it changes the way the next available sub-connection is being calculated: rather than having an index in the parent connection which is prone to many issues at run-time, the next available sub-connection is being calculated by looking at the state of the set sub-connections and if marked as DOWN it means that is an available slot to be used.

2018-02-28SCTP: handle COOKIE while in SHUTDOWN phaseMarco Varlese1-1/+3
This patch address the requirement to handle a COOKIE chunk whilst in SHUTDOWN phase. The COOKIE shouldn't just be dropped but an OPERATION ERROR chunk shall be sent to the peer to inform about the current situation. Change-Id: I1a47652402d49cfee3b0c810304d7902f3a62f40 Signed-off-by: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@suse.com>
2018-02-26SCTP: handle INIT corner-case handlingMarco Varlese1-0/+13
As per RFC4960 the INIT chunk could be received in unexpected scenarios and - depending on the state of the internal state-machine - the INIT chunk requires different treatment. This patch addresses section 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 of the RFC4960. Change-Id: Ib23ef490c6a5ca3da6c46a9584b75e7577cb7042 Signed-off-by: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@suse.com>
2018-02-25SCTP: fix connection memory corruptionMarco Varlese1-3/+7
A bug was found when multiple SCTP connections were being opened to the same SCTP server. This patch addresses that problem, removing the use of the 'parent' pointer approach for sub-connection and saving instead within the sub-connection itself the ID representing its position. That facilitates pointer-arithmetic to be computed in the get_connection_from_transport(). Change-Id: Iaa1f4efc501590be1c93e42fd6fe3d6e02f635eb Signed-off-by: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@suse.com>
2018-02-21SCTP: minor refactorMarco Varlese1-4/+4
This patch adds some missing information in various debugging messages which can help with debugging state-machine and connection-tracking. It also renames some internal variable names for better code readibility. Change-Id: I68503fc0214300032f7514426c8b5b2b12edf11a Signed-off-by: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@suse.com>
2018-02-20SCTP: congestion controlMarco Varlese1-26/+115
This patch addresses the requirements depicted by section 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 of the RFC 4960. Specifically, it implements the Slow-start and Congestion-avoidance policies. The patch also took care of correctly implementing some 'formatting' functions required - for instance - in packet(s) tracing.

2018-02-17SCTP: 'multi-home' supportMarco Varlese1-54/+76
This patch addresses the SCTP requirement for multiple sub-connections to implement the so called 'multi-homed' scenario. Change-Id: Ibce18f216e9d2bebe318992c441bf278e16aad17 Signed-off-by: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@suse.com>
2018-02-15SCTP: fix corrupted buffers seen in output nodeMarco Varlese1-1/+5
The issue observed in the output-node was actually caused by one of the input-node pushing buffers to the output node when not required. That is the case with the parsing/handling of incoming packets like the COOKIE_ACK, HEARTBEAT_ACK, DATA, SACK which do not require a response to be sent to the other peer. In all the mentioned cases the packets (buffers) need to be consumed and dropped instead of heading to the output-node.

2018-02-15SCTP: refactoringMarco Varlese1-14/+3
This patch takes care of some refactoring, including the initialization of the timestamp to calculate the RTO, the output state-machine validation which can be enabled (disabled by default) when debugging and some clean-up of unused fields. It also addresses the requirement of Karn's algorithm when computing the RTO. Change-Id: I6b875152369bff23cad085708cec1f7e1151cfa8 Signed-off-by: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@suse.com>
2018-02-08SCTP: shutdown phaseMarco Varlese1-1/+2
This patch addresses some bugs discovered with the shutdown phase which were causing the actual chunks not to leave the output_node. While fixing the issue some minor refactoring was also performed to align the internal functions to a 'common' design. Change-Id: Ieac4f6e78cffad2e6982536f8e9f190a66f328f7 Signed-off-by: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@suse.com>
2018-02-06SCTP: handling of heartbeating and max-retransmitsMarco Varlese1-7/+34
This patch address the need to send/receive heartbeats between peers. At the same time, the number of unacked heartbeats is tracked and when the peer requests to send DATA to the remote-peer the value of unacked heartbeats needs to be checked against the maximum value allowed for retransmissions. If the unacked heartbeats value is higher then the remote-peer is considered unreachable and the connetion needs to be shutdown.

2018-02-05SCTP: calculate RTO / RTT and RTTVAR as per RFCMarco Varlese1-14/+59
This patch addresses the need to calculate the RTO / RTT and RTTVAR according to the rules depicted by the RFC4960 at section 6.3.1 Change-Id: I1d346f3c67610070b3f602f32c7738d58b99ffed Signed-off-by: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@suse.com>
2018-02-01Out-of-order data chunks handling and moreMarco Varlese1-3/+23
This patch addresses the need to handle out-of-order data chunks received by a peer. To do that effectively, we had to add the handling of data chunks flags (E/B/U bit) to understand whether the stream is fragmenting user-message data and in that case if a fragment is the FIRST/MIDDLE/LAST one of a transmission. The same patch also addresses the security requirement to have a HMAC calculated and incorporated in the INIT_ACK and COOKIE_ECHO chunks. The algorithm used is the HMAC-SHA1.

2018-01-31Prep-work patch for congestion-controlMarco Varlese1-30/+99
This patch addresses the missing field in various data-structures to track valuable information to implement the congestion-control algorithms and manage sub-connections states. It adds the possibility to queue up to 2 SACKs chunks when the connection is not gapping. At the same time, it pushes some variable/field renaming for better readibility.
