* lib: Fix buffer allocation when retransmitting0.19.0Dimitri Staessens2022-03-114-18/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The timerwheel was retransmitting packets and the error check for negative values of the rbuff allocation was instead checking for non-zero values, causing a buffer allocation to succeed but the program to continue down the unhappy path leaving that packet stuck in the buffer unattended. Also fixes wrongly scheduled retransmissions that cause packet storms. FRCP is much more stable now. Still needs some work for high bandwidth-delay products (fast-retransmit).

* ipdpd: Pass MPL to application at flow_allocationDimitri Staessens2022-03-083-8/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | The maximum packet lifetime (MPL) is a property of the flow that needs to be passed to the reliable transmission protocol (FRCP) for its correct operation. Previously, the value of MPL was set fixed as one of the (fixed) Delta-t parameters. This patch makes the MPL a property of the layer, and it can now be set per layer-type at build time. This is a step towards a proper MPL estimator in the flow allocator. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <dimitri@ouroboros.rocks> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <sander@ouroboros.rocks>

* lib: Flag all flows down as the IRMd exitsDimitri Staessens2022-03-033-13/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | On exit of the IRMd all flows will now be flagged as down, so external applications will not hang anymore. Note: reads keep work from flows that are down until there are no more remaining packets in the buffer, but no more packets can be written. When the RIB is used, the external application may exit a bit later than the IRMd, so I added a brief sleep before the IRMd tries to remove the fuse main directory.

* lib: Add initial flow liveness monitoringDimitri Staessens2022-02-243-23/+163
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds flow liveness monitoring for flows, with a fixed timeout of 120s. I will make it configurable at flow allocation later on (timeout needs to be communicated to the peer). If one peer dies, or doesn't call any IPC calls (flow_write/flow_read/fevent) it will stop sending keepalives and the other peer's read/writes will error on an -EFLOWDOWN after the timeout expires. Packets without a payload (0 length packets) are interpreted as keepalive packets for the flow. They can be sent from any application, but they will not trigger a message read at the receiver side (0 as a return value on flow_read indicates a previous partial read has completed at exactly the buffer size).

* lib: Don't use pointer to set FRCT flagsDimitri Staessens2021-12-291-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fccntl call FRCTSFLAGS was using a pointer to a flags so set flags, which should just be a regular uint16_t. For instance, the FRCTLINGER flags can now be turned off using fccntl(fd, FRCTSFLAGS, FRCTFRESCNTL | FRCTFRTX) leaving only resource control (flow control, FRCTFRESCNTL) and retransmission enabled. Note that retransmission (FRCTFRTX) can't be enabled or disabled on a live flow, it will be set on flow allocation. Updates the man page for fccntl to add these FRCT options.

| | | | | | | | | | This is a fix to wait for outstanding retransmissions when a flow is deallocated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | This will skip rib_init() at __init() for IPCPs (or at least, processes that have "ipcpd" in the executable name). The previous code tried to unmount the generic mount and then remount under the ipcp name, but it often failed because fuse_mount() is asynchronous and the mount was not up at the time of the unmount() call.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The read functions for the RIB will now receive the full path, instead of only the entry name. For IPCPs, we organized the RIB in an /<ipcp>/<component>/entries structure with a directory per component, so we don't need the full path at this point. For process flow information, it's a lot more convenient to organize it the following way /<pid>/<fd>/stat We can then register/unregister the flow descriptor when the frct instance is created, and for getting the stats, we'd know the flow descriptor from the fuse file path. If we would create a file per flow instead of a directory per flow, something like /<pid>/flows/<fd> we'd need to do additional bookkeeping to list the contents of that directory (we would need to track all flows with an active FRCT instance), that fuse knows because it tracks the directories.

The RIB not shows some common IPCP information, such as the IPCP name, IPCP state and the layer name if the IPCP is part of a layer.

* ipcpd: Single UDP port for the ipcpd-udp0.18.0Dimitri Staessens2021-01-032-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The UDP layer will now use a single (configurable) UDP port, default 3435. This makes it easer to allocate flows as a client from behind a NAT firewall without having to configure port forwarding rules. So basically, from now on Ouroboros traffic is transported over a bidirectional <src><port>:<dst><port> UDP tunnel. The reason for not using/allowing different client/server ports is that it would require reading from different sockets using select() or something similar, but since we need the EID anyway (mgmt packets arrive on the same server UDP port), there's not a lot of benefit in doing it. Now the operation is similar to the ipcpd-eth, with the port somewhat functioning as a "layer name", where in UDP, the Ethertype functions as a "layer name".

* ipcpd: Add congestion avoidance policiesDimitri Staessens2020-12-023-6/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds congestion avoidance policies to the unicast IPCP. The default policy is a multi-bit explicit congestion avoidance algorithm based on data-center TCP congestion avoidance (DCTCP) to relay information about the maximum queue depth that packets experienced to the receiver. There's also a "nop" policy to disable congestion avoidance for testing and benchmarking purposes. The (initial) API for congestion avoidance policies is: void * (* ctx_create)(void); void (* ctx_destroy)(void * ctx); These calls create / and or destroy a context for congestion control for a specific flow. Thread-safety of the context is the responsability of the flow allocator (operations on the ctx should be performed under a lock). ca_wnd_t (* ctx_update_snd)(void * ctx, size_t len); This is the sender call to update the context, and should be called for every packet that is sent on the flow. The len parameter in this API is the packet length, which allows calculating the bandwidth. It returns an opaque union type that is used for the call to check/wait if the congestion window is open or closed (and allowing to release locks before waiting). bool (* ctx_update_rcv)(void * ctx, size_t len, uint8_t ecn, uint16_t * ece); This is the call to update the flow congestion context on the receiver side. It should be called for every received packet. It gets the ecn value from the packet and its length, and returns the ECE (explicit congestion experienced) value to be sent to the sender in case of congestion. The boolean returned signals whether or not a congestion update needs to be sent. void (* ctx_update_ece)(void * ctx, uint16_t ece); This is the call for the sending side top update the context when it receives an ECE update from the receiver. void (* wnd_wait)(ca_wnd_t wnd); This is a (blocking) call that waits for the congestion window to clear. It should be stateless (to avoid waiting under locks). This may change later on if passing the context is needed for different algorithms. uint8_t (* calc_ecn)(int fd, size_t len); This is the call that intermediate IPCPs(routers) should use to update the ECN field on passing packets. The multi-bit ECN policy bases the value for the ECN field on the depth of the rbuff queue packets will be sent on. I created another call to grab the queue depth as fccntl is write-locking the application. We can further optimize this to avoid most locking on the rbuff.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the rendez-vous mechanism to handle the case where the sending window is closed and window updates get lost. If the sending window is closed, the sender side will send an RDVS every DELT_RDV time (100ms), and give up after MAX_RDV time (1 second). Upon reception of a RDVS packet, a window update is sent immediately. We can make this much more configurable later on (build options for defaults, fccntl for runtime tuning).

* lib: Complete retransmission logicDimitri Staessens2020-09-255-383/+667
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This completes the retransmission (automated repeat-request, ARQ) logic, sending (delayed) ACK messages when needed. On deallocation, flows will ACK try to retransmit any remaining unacknowledged messages (unless the FRCTFLINGER flag is turned off; this is on by default). Applications can safely shut down as soon as everything is ACK'd (i.e. the current Delta-t run is done). The activity timeout is now passed to the IPCP for it to sleep before completing deallocation (and releasing the flow_id). That should be moved to the IRMd in due time. The timerwheel is revised to be multi-level to reduce memory consumption. The resolution bumps by a factor of 1 << RXMQ_BUMP (16) and each level has RXMQ_SLOTS (1 << 8) slots. The lowest level has a resolution of (1 << RXMQ_RES) (20) ns, which is roughly a millisecond. Currently, 3 levels are defined, so the largest delay we can schedule at each level is: Level 0: 256ms Level 1: 4s Level 2: about a minute.

* lib: Allow pure acknowledgment packets in FRCTDimitri Staessens2020-06-063-150/+297
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the logic to send a pure acknowledgment packet without any data to send. This needed the event filter for the fqueue, as these non-data packets should not trigger application PKT events. The default timeout is now 10ms, until we have FRCP tuning as part of fccntl. Karn's algorithm seems to be very unstable with low (sub-ms) RTT estimates. Doubling RTO (every RTO) seems still too slow to prevent rtx storms when the measured rtt suddenly spikes several orders of magnitude. Just assuming the ACK'd packet is the last one transmitted seems to be a lot more stable. It can lead to temporary underestimation, but this is not a throughput-killer in FRCP. Changes most time units to nanoseconds for faster computation. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <dimitri@ouroboros.rocks> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <sander@ouroboros.rocks>
