/* DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) congestion control. * * http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP.html * * This is an implementation of DCTCP over Reno, an enhancement to the * TCP congestion control algorithm designed for data centers. DCTCP * leverages Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in the network to * provide multi-bit feedback to the end hosts. DCTCP's goal is to meet * the following three data center transport requirements: * * - High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate) * - Low latency (short flows, queries) * - High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers) * with commodity shallow buffered switches * * The algorithm is described in detail in the following two papers: * * 1) Mohammad Alizadeh, Albert Greenberg, David A. Maltz, Jitendra Padhye, * Parveen Patel, Balaji Prabhakar, Sudipta Sengupta, and Murari Sridharan: * "Data Center TCP (DCTCP)", Data Center Networks session * Proc. ACM SIGCOMM, New Delhi, 2010. * http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp-final.pdf * * 2) Mohammad Alizadeh, Adel Javanmard, and Balaji Prabhakar: * "Analysis of DCTCP: Stability, Convergence, and Fairness" * Proc. ACM SIGMETRICS, San Jose, 2011. * http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp_analysis-full.pdf * * Initial prototype from Abdul Kabbani, Masato Yasuda and Mohammad Alizadeh. * * Authors: * * Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> * Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> * Glenn Judd <glenn.judd@morganstanley.com> * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at * your option) any later version. */ #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/mm.h> #include <net/tcp.h> #include <linux/inet_diag.h> #define DCTCP_MAX_ALPHA 1024U struct dctcp { u32 acked_bytes_ecn; u32 acked_bytes_total; u32 prior_snd_una; u32 prior_rcv_nxt; u32 dctcp_alpha; u32 next_seq; u32 ce_state; u32 delayed_ack_reserved; }; static unsigned int dctcp_shift_g __read_mostly = 4; /* g = 1/2^4 */ module_param(dctcp_shift_g, uint, 0644); MODULE_PARM_DESC(dctcp_shift_g, "parameter g for updating dctcp_alpha"); static unsigned int dctcp_alpha_on_init __read_mostly = DCTCP_MAX_ALPHA; module_param(dctcp_alpha_on_init, uint, 0644); MODULE_PARM_DESC(dctcp_alpha_on_init, "parameter for initial alpha value"); static unsigned int dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss __read_mostly; module_param(dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss, uint, 0644); MODULE_PARM_DESC(dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss, "parameter for clamping alpha on loss"); static struct tcp_congestion_ops dctcp_reno; static void dctcp_reset(const struct tcp_sock *tp, struct dctcp *ca) { ca->next_seq = tp->snd_nxt; ca->acked_bytes_ecn = 0; ca->acked_bytes_total = 0; } static void dctcp_init(struct sock *sk) { const struct tcp_sock *tp = tcp_sk(sk); if ((tp->ecn_flags & TCP_ECN_OK) || (sk->sk_state == TCP_LISTEN || sk->sk_state == TCP_CLOSE)) { struct dctcp *ca = inet_csk_ca(sk); ca->prior_snd_una = tp->snd_una; ca->prior_rcv_nxt = tp->rcv_nxt; ca->dctcp_alpha = min(dctcp_alpha_on_init, DCTCP_MAX_ALPHA); ca->delayed_ack_reserved = 0; ca->ce_state = 0; dctcp_reset(tp, ca); return; } /* No ECN support?
