6fc791ee63 sctp: add Adaptation Layer Indication parameter only when it's set
RFC5061 states:

        Each adaptation layer that is defined that wishes
        to use this parameter MUST specify an adaptation code point in an
        appropriate RFC defining its use and meaning.

If the user has not set one - assume they don't want to sent the param
with a zero Adaptation Code Point.

Rationale - Currently the IANA defines zero as reserved - and
1 as the only valid value - so we consider zero to be unset - to save
adding a boolean to the socket structure.

Including this parameter unconditionally causes endpoints that do not
understand it to report errors unnecessarily.

fc1ad92dfc tcp: allow timestamps even if SYN packet has tsval=0
Some systems send SYN packets with apparently wrong RFC1323 timestamp
option values [timestamp tsval=0 tsecr=0].
It might be for security reasons (http://www.secuobs.com/plugs/25220.shtml )

Linux TCP stack ignores this option and sends back a SYN+ACK packet
without timestamp option, thus many TCP flows cannot use timestamps
and lose some benefit of RFC1323.

Other operating systems seem to not care about initial tsval value, and let
tcp flows to negotiate timestamp option.

eb9b55ab4d SUNRPC: Tighten up the task locking rules in __rpc_execute()
We should probably not be testing any flags after we've cleared the
RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag, since rpc_make_runnable() is then free to assign the
rpc_task to another workqueue, which may then destroy it.

We can fix any races with rpc_make_runnable() by ensuring that we only
clear the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag while holding the rpc_wait_queue->lock that
the task is supposed to be sleeping on (and then checking whether or not
the task really is sleeping).

4843b93c96 netlink: invert error code in netlink_set_err()
The callers of netlink_set_err() currently pass a negative value
as parameter for the error code. However, sk->sk_err wants a
positive error value. Without this patch, skb_recv_datagram() called
by netlink_recvmsg() may return a positive value to report an error.

Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive
error value, but this seems a bit inconsistent and error prone
to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the
(usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :).

This patch also includes some documentation in docbook format
for netlink_set_err() to avoid this sort of confusion.

17edde5209 netns: Remove net_alive
It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem
that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought
it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets
while there were still packets in the network namespace.

Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves
this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb.  So remove net_alive allowing
packet reception run a little faster.

Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup
is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have
a chance of figuring it out.

6eb0777228 netns: Fix icmp shutdown.
Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace
cleanup.  There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent
and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but
failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called.

The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their
arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems
so this error should have been impossible.

It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys.  Which resulted in icmp being shut down
while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making
a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.

Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in
my testing.

176c39af29 netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic
When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are
all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice
notifier. 
In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network
devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of 
the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device
instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as
any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys.

But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do
exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network
devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless.

I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the
addrconf cleanup function.

3df2678737 sctp: fix kernel panic with ERROR chunk containing too many error causes
If ERROR chunk is received with too many error causes in ESTABLISHED
state, the kernel get panic.

This is because sctp limit the max length of cmds to 14, but while
ERROR chunk is received, one error cause will add around 2 cmds by
sctp_add_cmd_sf(). So many error causes will fill the limit of cmds
and panic.

This patch fixed the problem.

This bug can be test by SCTP Conformance Test Suite

86739fb96e dccp: Do not let initial option overhead shrink the MPS
This fixes a problem caused by the overlap of the connection-setup and
established-state phases of DCCP connections.

During connection setup, the client retransmits Confirm Feature-Negotiation
options until a response from the server signals that it can move from the
half-established PARTOPEN into the OPEN state, whereupon the connection is
fully established on both ends (RFC 4340, 8.1.5).

However, since the client may already send data while it is in the PARTOPEN
state, consequences arise for the Maximum Packet Size: the problem is that the
initial option overhead is much higher than for the subsequent established
phase, as it involves potentially many variable-length list-type options
(server-priority options, RFC 4340, 6.4).

Applying the standard MPS is insufficient here: especially with larger
payloads this can lead to annoying, counter-intuitive EMSGSIZE errors.

On the other hand, reducing the MPS available for the established phase by
the added initial overhead is highly wasteful and inefficient.

The solution chosen therefore is a two-phase strategy:

   If the payload length of the DataAck in PARTOPEN is too large, an Ack is sent
   to carry the options, and the feature-negotiation list is then flushed.

   This means that the server gets two Acks for one Response. If both Acks get
   lost, it is probably better to restart the connection anyway and devising yet
   another special-case does not seem worth the extra complexity.

The result is a higher utilisation of the available packet space for the data
transmission phase (established state) of a connection.

The patch (over-)estimates the initial overhead to be 32*4 bytes -- commonly
seen values were around 90 bytes for initial feature-negotiation options.

It uses sizeof(u32) to mean "aligned units of 4 bytes".
For consistency, another use of 4-byte alignment is adapted.

361a5c1dd0 dccp: Minimise header option overhead in setting the MPS
This patch resolves a long-standing FIXME to dynamically update the Maximum
Packet Size depending on actual options usage.

It uses the flags set by the feature-negotiation infrastructure to compute
the required header option size.

Most options are fixed-size, a notable exception are Ack Vectors (required
currently only by CCID-2). These can have any length between 3 and 1020
bytes. As a result of testing, 16 bytes (2 bytes for type/length plus 14 Ack
Vector cells) have been found to be sufficient for loss-free situations.

There are currently no CCID-specific header options which may appear on data
packets, thus it is not necessary to define a corresponding CCID field as
suggested in the old comment.

Further changes:

 Adjusted the type of 'cur_mps' to match the unsigned return type of the

there wasn't clear way how to handle this particular check
cheaply in the spirit of RFC3517 (using only SACK blocks, not

Also I don't agree what I ended up writing about non-trivial

4ead443163 netpoll: Add drop checks to all entry points
The netpoll entry checks are required to ensure that we don't
receive normal packets when invoked via netpoll.  Unfortunately
it only ever worked for the netif_receive_skb/netif_rx entry
points.  The VLAN (and subsequently GRO) entry point didn't
have the check and therefore can trigger all sorts of weird
problems.

This patch adds the netpoll check to all entry points.

I'm still uneasy with receiving at all under netpoll (which
apparently is only used by the out-of-tree kdump code).  The
reason is it is perfectly legal to receive all data including
headers into highmem if netpoll is off, but if you try to do
that with netpoll on and someone gets a printk in an IRQ handler                                             
you're going to get a nice BUG_ON.

e38f8a7a8b cfg80211: Add AP beacon regulatory hints
When devices are world roaming they cannot beacon or do active scan
on 5 GHz or on channels 12, 13 and 14 on the 2 GHz band. Although
we have a good regulatory API some cards may _always_ world roam, this
is also true when a system does not have CRDA present. Devices doing world
roaming can still passive scan, if they find a beacon from an AP on
one of the world roaming frequencies we make the assumption we can do
the same and we also remove the passive scan requirement.

This adds support for providing beacon regulatory hints based on scans.
This works for devices that do either hardware or software scanning.
If a channel has not yet been marked as having had a beacon present
on it we queue the beacon hint processing into the workqueue.

All wireless devices will benefit from beacon regulatory hints from
any wireless device on a system including new devices connected to
the system at a later time.

Calling kobject_uevent_env() can fail mainly due to out of

conditions so propagate that as well instead of letting
cfg80211 load as if everything is peachy.

Additionally lets clarify that when CRDA is not called during
cfg80211's initialization _and_ if the error is not an -ENOMEM
its because kobject_uevent_env() failed to call CRDA, not because
CRDA failed. For those who want to find out why we also let you
do so by enabling the kernel config CONFIG_CFG80211_REG_DEBUG --
you'll get an actual stack trace.

So for now we'll treat non -ENOMEM kobject_uevent_env() failures as

80778f18c0 nl80211: disallow user requests prior to regulatory_init()
If cfg80211 is built into the kernel there is perhaps a small
time window betwen nl80211_init() and regulatory_init() where
cfg80211_regdomain hasn't yet been initialized to let the
wireless core do its work. During that rare case and time
frame (if its even possible) we don't allow user regulatory
changes as cfg80211 is working on enabling its first regulatory
domain.

To check for cfg80211_regdomain we now contend the entire operation
using the cfg80211_mutex.

to fill qual.qual; level should be used, but wpa_supplicant

So fill qual.qual with the qual.level value clamped to

469002983f mac80211: split IBSS/managed code
This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode.
The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have
the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly
a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand.

This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into
sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that
way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only
applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other
functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also
rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

96f5e66e8a mac80211: fix aggregation for hardware with ampdu queues
Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation.

This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues,
but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough
version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time,
which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is
currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs
that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP).

This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to
execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like
this:
 1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for
    fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented
    frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a
    single frame with its fragments)
 2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a
    per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation,
    when the session has come up take all those frames and put them
    onto the queue from 1)
 3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in
    mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from
    mac80211 again

This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the
frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

Support for iWARP NICs is implemented as a separate
RDS transport from IB. The code, however, is very
similar to IB (it was forked, basically.) so let's keep
it in one changeset.

The reason for this duplicationis that despite its similarity
to IB, there are a number of places where it has different
semantics. iwarp zcopy support is still under development,
and giving it its own sandbox ensures that IB code isn't
disrupted while iwarp changes. Over time these transports
will re-converge.

2950f21acb Bluetooth: Ask upper layers for HCI disconnect reason
Some of the qualification tests demand that in case of failures in L2CAP
the HCI disconnect should indicate a reason why L2CAP fails. This is a
bluntly layer violation since multiple L2CAP connections could be using
the same ACL and thus forcing a disconnect reason is not a good idea.

To comply with the Bluetooth test specification, the disconnect reason
is now stored in the L2CAP connection structure and every time a new
L2CAP channel is added it will set back to its default. So only in the
case where the L2CAP channel with the disconnect reason is really the
last one, it will propagated to the HCI layer.

The HCI layer has been extended with a disconnect indication that allows
it to ask upper layers for a disconnect reason. The upper layer must not
support this callback and in that case it will nicely default to the
existing behavior. If an upper layer like L2CAP can provide a disconnect
reason that one will be used to disconnect the ACL or SCO link.

No modification to the ACL disconnect timeout have been made. So in case
of Linux to Linux connection the initiator will disconnect the ACL link
before the acceptor side can signal the specific disconnect reason. That
is perfectly fine since Linux doesn't make use of this value anyway. The
L2CAP layer has a perfect valid error code for rejecting connection due
to a security violation. It is unclear why the Bluetooth specification
insists on having specific HCI disconnect reason.

The recommendation for the L2CAP PSM 1 (SDP) is to not use any kind
of authentication or encryption. So don't trigger authentication
for incoming and outgoing SDP connections.

For L2CAP PSM 3 (RFCOMM) there is no clear requirement, but with
Bluetooth 2.1 the initiator is required to enable authentication
and encryption first and this gets enforced. So there is no need
to trigger an additional authentication step. The RFCOMM service
security will make sure that a secure enough link key is present.

When the encryption gets enabled after the SDP connection setup,
then switch the security level from SDP to low security.

efc7688b55 Bluetooth: Add SCO fallback for eSCO connection attempts
When attempting to setup eSCO connections it can happen that some link
manager implementations fail to properly negotiate the eSCO parameters
and thus fail the eSCO setup. Normally the link manager is responsible
for the negotiation of the parameters and actually fallback to SCO if
no agreement can be reached. In cases where the link manager is just too
stupid, then at least try to establish a SCO link if eSCO fails.

For the Bluetooth devices with EDR support this includes handling packet
types of EDR basebands. This is particular tricky since for the EDR the
logic of enabling/disabling one specific packet type is turned around.
This fix contains an extra bitmask to disable eSCO EDR packet when
trying to fallback to a SCO connection.

8c1b235594 Bluetooth: Add enhanced security model for Simple Pairing
The current security model is based around the flags AUTH, ENCRYPT and
SECURE. Starting with support for the Bluetooth 2.1 specification this is
no longer sufficient. The different security levels are now defined as
SDP, LOW, MEDIUM and SECURE.

Previously it was possible to set each security independently, but this
actually doesn't make a lot of sense. For Bluetooth the encryption depends
on a previous successful authentication. Also you can only update your
existing link key if you successfully created at least one before. And of
course the update of link keys without having proper encryption in place
is a security issue.

The new security levels from the Bluetooth 2.1 specification are now
used internally. All old settings are mapped to the new values and this
way it ensures that old applications still work. The only limitation
is that it is no longer possible to set authentication without also
enabling encryption. No application should have done this anyway since
this is actually a security issue. Without encryption the integrity of
the authentication can't be guaranteed.

As default for a new L2CAP or RFCOMM connection, the LOW security level
is used. The only exception here are the service discovery sessions on
PSM 1 where SDP level is used. To have similar security strength as with
a Bluetooth 2.0 and before combination key, the MEDIUM level should be
used. This is according to the Bluetooth specification. The MEDIUM level
will not require any kind of man-in-the-middle (MITM) protection. Only
the HIGH security level will require this.

1ce85fe402 netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

Commit 784544739a
(netfilter: iptables: lock free counters) broke xt_hashlimit netfilter module :

This module was storing a pointer inside its xt_hashlimit_info, and this pointer
is not relocated when we temporarly switch tables (iptables -L).

This hack is not not needed at all (probably a leftover from
ancient time), as each cpu should and can access to its own copy.

325fb5b4d2 netfilter: xt_recent: fix proc-file addition/removal of IPv4 addresses
Fix regression introduded by commit 079aa88 (netfilter: xt_recent: IPv6 support):

From http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12753:

Problem Description:
An uninitialized buffer causes IPv4 addresses added manually (via the +IP
command to the proc interface) to never match any packets. Similarly, the -IP
command fails to remove IPv4 addresses.

Details:
In the function recent_entry_lookup, the xt_recent module does comparisons of
the entire nf_inet_addr union value, both for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. For
addresses initialized from actual packets the remaining 12 bytes not occupied
by the IPv4 are zeroed so this works correctly. However when setting the
nf_inet_addr addr variable in the recent_mt_proc_write function, only the IPv4
bytes are initialized and the remaining 12 bytes contain garbage.

Hence addresses added in this way never match any packets, unless these
uninitialized 12 bytes happened to be zero by coincidence. Similarly, addresses
cannot consistently be removed using the proc interface due to mismatch of the
garbage bytes (although it will sometimes work to remove an address that was
added manually).

Reading the /proc/net/xt_recent/ entries hides this problem because this only
uses the first 4 bytes when displaying IPv4 addresses.

Steps to reproduce:
$ iptables -I INPUT -m recent --rcheck -j LOG
$ echo +169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910

[At this point no packets from 169.254.156.239 are being logged.]

$ iptables -I INPUT -s 169.254.156.239 -m recent --set
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126184 oldest_pkt: 4 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184

[At this point, adding the address via an iptables rule, packets are being
logged correctly.]

$ echo -169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126992 oldest_pkt: 10 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184, 126434, 126684, 126934, 126991, 126991, 126992
$ echo -169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126992 oldest_pkt: 10 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184, 126434, 126684, 126934, 126991, 126991, 126992

[Removing the address via /proc interface failed evidently.]

Possible solutions:
- initialize the addr variable in recent_mt_proc_write
- compare only 4 bytes for IPv4 addresses in recent_entry_lookup

ce16c5337a netns: Remove net_alive
It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem
that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought
it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets
while there were still packets in the network namespace.

Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves
this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb.  So remove net_alive allowing
packet reception run a little faster.

Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup
is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have
a chance of figuring it out.

959d272649 netns: Fix icmp shutdown.
Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace
cleanup.  There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent
and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but
failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called.

The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their
arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems
so this error should have been impossible.

It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys.  Which resulted in icmp being shut down
while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making
a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.

Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in
my testing.

7691367d71 tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxt
Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer
does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the
sequence number of a packet.

This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts
the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification
(though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible.
Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification
indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up.

Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which
incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and
conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data.

Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only
if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted.  This
way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with
non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have
advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent
data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet.

The only potential downside is that applications on the remote
end may see multiple SIGURG notifications.  However, this would
occur anyway with other TCP stacks.  More importantly, the outcome
of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since
the signal itself does not carry any information other than the
fact that we're in urgent mode.

Thanks to Ilpo Järvinen for fixing a critical bug in this and
Jeff Chua for reporting that bug.

784544739a netfilter: iptables: lock free counters
The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of
processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause
a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions:

1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use.
   This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is
   replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed
   after RCU period.

2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values.
   This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu
   then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one
   cpu.  On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different
   times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.

socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast()
return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful
if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result
of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network
packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable
logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set,
netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore
ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers
should do.

This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

313e458f81 alloc_percpu: add align argument to __alloc_percpu.
This prepares for a real __alloc_percpu, by adding an alignment argument.
Only one place uses __alloc_percpu directly, and that's for a string.

tj: af_inet also uses __alloc_percpu(), update it.

This patch modifies the default xt_NFLOG threshold from 1 to

92a0acce18 net: Kill skb_truesize_check(), it only catches false-positives.
A long time ago we had bugs, primarily in TCP, where we would modify
skb->truesize (for TSO queue collapsing) in ways which would corrupt
the socket memory accounting.

skb_truesize_check() was added in order to try and catch this error
more systematically.

However this debugging check has morphed into a Frankenstein of sorts
and these days it does nothing other than catch false-positives.

During peeloff/accept() sctp needs to save the parent socket state
into the new socket so that any options set on the parent are

faee47cdbf sctp: Fix the RTO-doubling on idle-link heartbeats
SCTP incorrectly doubles rto ever time a Hearbeat chunk
is generated.   However RFC 4960 states:

   On an idle destination address that is allowed to heartbeat, it is
   recommended that a HEARTBEAT chunk is sent once per RTO of that
   destination address plus the protocol parameter 'HB.interval', with
   jittering of +/- 50% of the RTO value, and exponential backoff of the
   RTO if the previous HEARTBEAT is unanswered.

Essentially, of if the heartbean is unacknowledged, do we double the RTO.

06e868066e sctp: Allow to disable SCTP checksums via module parameter
This is a new version of my patch, now using a module parameter instead
of a sysctl, so that the option is harder to find. Please note that,
once the module is loaded, it is still possible to change the value of
the parameter in /sys/module/sctp/parameters/, which is useful if you
want to do performance comparisons without rebooting.

Computation of SCTP checksums significantly affects the performance of
SCTP. For example, using two dual-Opteron 246 connected using a Gbe
network, it was not possible to achieve more than ~730 Mbps, compared to
941 Mbps after disabling SCTP checksums.
Unfortunately, SCTP checksum offloading in NICs is not commonly
available (yet).

By default, checksums are still enabled, of course.
