Define CC_NEWRENO in all the appropriate DEFAULTS and std.* config files. It's the default congestion control algorithm. Add code to cc.c so that CC_DEFAULT is "newreno" if it's not overriden in the config file. Sponsored by: Netflix Fixes: b8d60729 ("tcp: Congestion control cleanup.")

NOTE: HEADS UP read the note below if your kernel config is not including GENERIC!! This patch does a bit of cleanup on TCP congestion control modules. There were some rather interesting surprises that one could get i.e. where you use a socket option to change from one CC (say cc_cubic) to another CC (say cc_vegas) and you could in theory get a memory failure and end up on cc_newreno. This is not what one would expect. The new code fixes this by requiring a cc_data_sz() function so we can malloc with M_WAITOK and pass in to the init function preallocated memory. The CC init is expected in this case *not* to fail but if it does and a module does break the "no fail with memory given" contract we do fall back to the CC that was in place at the time. This also fixes up a set of common newreno utilities that can be shared amongst other CC modules instead of the other CC modules reaching into newreno and executing what they think is a "common and understood" function. Lets put these functions in cc.c and that way we have a common place that is easily findable by future developers or bug fixers. This also allows newreno to evolve and grow support for its features i.e. ABE and HYSTART++ without having to dance through hoops for other CC modules, instead both newreno and the other modules just call into the common functions if they desire that behavior or roll there own if that makes more sense. Note: This commit changes the kernel configuration!! If you are not using GENERIC in some form you must add a CC module option (one of CC_NEWRENO, CC_VEGAS, CC_CUBIC, CC_CDG, CC_CHD, CC_DCTCP, CC_HTCP, CC_HD). You can have more than one defined as well if you desire. Note that if you create a kernel configuration that does not define a congestion control module and includes INET or INET6 the kernel compile will break. Also you need to define a default, generic adds 'options CC_DEFAULT=\"newreno\" but you can specify any string that represents the name of the CC module (same names that show up in the CC module list under net.inet.tcp.cc). If you fail to add the options CC_DEFAULT in your kernel configuration the kernel build will also break. Reviewed by: Michael Tuexen Sponsored by: Netflix Inc.

r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked). Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes. This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags. Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT Approved by: kib (mentor, blanket) Commented by: kib, gallatin, melifaro Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D23718

ECN (ABE)" proposal to the New Reno congestion control algorithm module. ABE reduces the amount of congestion window reduction in response to ECN-signalled congestion relative to the loss-inferred congestion response. More details about ABE can be found in the Internet-Draft: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-alternativebackoff-ecn The implementation introduces four new sysctls: - net.inet.tcp.cc.abe defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to non-zero to enable ABE for ECN-enabled TCP connections. - net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.beta and net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.beta_ecn set the multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to the congestion window in response to a loss-based or ECN-based congestion signal respectively. They default to the values specified in the draft i.e. beta=50 and beta_ecn=80. - net.inet.tcp.cc.abe_frlossreduce defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to non-zero to enable the use of standard beta (50% by default) when repairing loss during an ECN-signalled congestion recovery episode. It enables a more conservative congestion response and is provided for the purposes of experimentation as a result of some discussion at IETF 100 in Singapore. The values of beta and beta_ecn can also be set per-connection by way of the TCP_CCALGOOPT TCP-level socket option and the new CC_NEWRENO_BETA or CC_NEWRENO_BETA_ECN CC algo sub-options.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error prone - task. The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way, superceed or replace the license texts. No functional change intended.

write to the buffer causes it to overflow. We therefore can't hold the CC list rwlock over a call to sbuf_printf() for an sbuf configured with SBUF_AUTOEXTEND. 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 algorithms. This should address a WITNESS warning and the potential panic that would occur if the sbuf call to malloc did sleep whilst holding the CC list rwlock.

Any found to be using the algorithm that is about to go away are switched back to NewReno to avoid leaving dangling pointers which would trigger a panic. For VIMAGE kernels, there is a list per vnet to walk, yet the implementation was only examining one of the vnet lists. Fix the implementation of the above feature for VIMAGE kernels by looping through all active TCP control blocks across all vnets.

runs on boot and each time a vnet jail is created. Running cc_init() multiple times results in a panic when attempting to initialise the cc_list lock again, and so r215166 effectively broke the use of vnet jails. Switch to using a SYSINIT to run cc_init() on boot. CC algorithm modules loaded on boot register in the same SI_SUB_PROTO_IFATTACHDOMAIN category as is used in this patch, so cc_init() is run at SI_ORDER_FIRST to ensure the framework is initialised before module registration is attempted.

Control Algorithms for FreeBSD" FreeBSD Foundation funded project. More details about the project are available at: http://caia.swin.edu.au/freebsd/5cc/ - Add a KPI and supporting infrastructure to allow modular congestion control algorithms to be used in the net stack. Algorithms can maintain per-connection state if required, and connections maintain their own algorithm pointer, which allows different connections to concurrently use different algorithms. The TCP_CONGESTION socket option can be used with getsockopt()/setsockopt() to programmatically query or change the congestion control algorithm respectively from within an application at runtime. - Integrate the framework with the TCP stack in as least intrusive a manner as possible. Care was also taken to develop the framework in a way that should allow integration with other congestion aware transport protocols (e.g. SCTP) in the future. The hope is that we will one day be able to share a single set of congestion control algorithm modules between all congestion aware transport protocols. - Introduce a new congestion recovery (TF_CONGRECOVERY) state into the TCP stack and use it to decouple the meaning of recovery from a congestion event and recovery from packet loss (TF_FASTRECOVERY) a la RFC2581. ECN and delay based congestion control protocols don't generally need to recover from packet loss and need a different way to note a congestion recovery episode within the stack. - Remove the net.inet.tcp.newreno sysctl, which simplifies some portions of code and ensures the stack always uses the appropriate mechanisms for recovering from packet loss during a congestion recovery episode. - Extract the NewReno congestion control algorithm from the TCP stack and massage it into module form. NewReno is always built into the kernel and will remain the default algorithm for the forseeable future. Implementations of additional different algorithms will become available in the near future. - Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025 and note in UPDATING that rebuilding code that relies on the size of "struct tcpcb" is required. Many thanks go to the Cisco University Research Program Fund at Community Foundation Silicon Valley and the FreeBSD Foundation. Their support of our work at the Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures, Swinburne University of Technology is greatly appreciated.
