This state includes flags which + * control the module's behavior and preallocated working memory. One + * such structure is present for each VPN tunnel, and is stored in the \c + * context.c2.lzo_compwork of the \c context associated with that VPN + * tunnel. + * + * @par Initialization and cleanup + * Every time a new \c lzo_compress_workspace is needed, it must be + * initialized using the \c lzo_compress_init() function. Similarly, + * every time a \c lzo_compress_workspace is no longer needed, it must be + * cleaned up using the \c lzo_compress_uninit() function. These + * functions take care of the allocation and freeing of internal working + * memory, but not of the \c lzo_compress_workspace structures themselves. + * + * @par + * Because of the one-to-one relationship between \c + * lzo_compress_workspace structures and VPN tunnels, the above-mentioned + * initialization and cleanup functions are called directly from the \c + * init_instance() and \c close_instance() functions, which control the + * initialization and cleanup of VPN tunnel instances and their associated + * \c context structures. + * + * @par Packet processing functions + * This module receives data channel packets from the \link data_control + * Data Channel Control module\endlink and processes them according to the + * settings of the packet's VPN tunnel. The \link data_control Data + * Channel Control module\endlink uses the following interface functions: + * - For packets which will be sent to a remote OpenVPN peer: \c + * lzo_compress() + * - For packets which have been received from a remote OpenVPN peer: \c + * lzo_decompress() + * + * @par Settings that control this module's activity + * Whether or not the Data Channel Compression module is active depends on + * the compile-time \c USE_LZO preprocessor macro and the runtime flags + * stored in \c lzo_compress_workspace.flags of the associated VPN tunnel. + * The latter are initialized from \c options.lzo, which gets its value + * from the process's configuration sources, such as its configuration + * file or command line %options. + * + * @par Adaptive compression + * The compression module supports adaptive compression. If this feature + * is enabled, the compression routines monitor their own performance and + * turn compression on or off depending on whether it is leading to + * significantly reduced payload size. + * + * @par Compression algorithms + * This module uses the Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer (LZO) compression algorithms. + * These offer lossless compression and are designed for high-performance + * decompression. This module uses the external \c lzo library's + * implementation of the algorithms. + * + * @par + * For more information on the LZO library, see:\n + * http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/ + */ @@ -22,6 +22,10 @@ * 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA */ +/** + * @file Data Channel Compression module function definitions. + */ + #include "syshead.h" #ifdef USE_LZO @@ -33,7 +37,13 @@ #include "memdbg.h" #ifndef LZO_STUB - +/** + * Perform adaptive compression housekeeping. + * + * @param ac the adaptive compression state structure. + * + * @return + */ static bool lzo_adaptive_compress_test (struct lzo_adaptive_compress *ac) { @@ -142,10 +152,6 @@ lzo_compression_enabled (struct lzo_compress_workspace *lzowork) return false; } -/* Magic numbers to tell our peer if we compressed or not */ -#define YES_COMPRESS 0x66 -#define NO_COMPRESS 0xFA - void lzo_compress (struct buffer *buf, struct buffer work, struct lzo_compress_workspace *lzowork, @@ -281,9 +287,6 @@ lzo_modify_flags (struct lzo_compress_workspace *lzowork, unsigned int flags) lzowork->flags = flags; } -/* - * Print statistics - */ void lzo_print_stats (const struct lzo_compress_workspace *lzo_compwork, struct status_output *so) { ASSERT (lzo_compwork->defined); @@ -25,8 +25,20 @@ #ifndef OPENVPN_LZO_H #define OPENVPN_LZO_H + +/** + * @file + * Data Channel Compression module header file. + */ + + #ifdef USE_LZO +/** + * @addtogroup compression + * @{ + */ + #ifndef LZO_STUB #ifdef LZO_HEADER_DIR #include "lzo/lzoutil.h" @@ -42,52 +54,89 @@ #include "common.h" #include "status.h" -/* LZO flags */ -#define LZO_SELECTED (1<<0) -#define LZO_ON (1<<1) -#define LZO_ADAPTIVE (1<<2) - -/* - * Length of prepended prefix on LZO packets - */ -#define LZO_PREFIX_LEN 1 - -/* - * LZO 2.0 worst case size expansion - */ -#define LZO_EXTRA_BUFFER(len) ((len)/8 + 128 + 3) +/**************************************************************************/ +/** @name Bit-flags which control data channel packet compression *//******/ +/** @{ */ +#define LZO_SELECTED (1<<0) /**< Bit-flag indicating that compression + * of data channel packets is enabled. */ +#define LZO_ON (1<<1) /**< Bit-flag indicating that compression + * of data channel packets is active. */ +#define LZO_ADAPTIVE (1<<2) /**< Bit-flag indicating that adaptive + * compression of data channel packets + * has been selected. */ +/** @} name Bit-flags which control data channel packet compression *//****/ +/**************************************************************************/ +/** @name LZO library interface defines *//** @{ *//***********************/ #ifndef LZO_STUB - -/* - * Use LZO compress routine lzo1x_1_15_compress which is described - * as faster but needs a bit more memory than the standard routine. - * Use safe decompress (i.e. check for buffer overflows). - * You may want to use the non-safe version - * of decompress if speed is essential and if you know - * that you will always be using a MAC to verify the - * integrity of incoming packets. - */ #define LZO_COMPRESS lzo1x_1_15_compress + /**< LZO library compression function. + * + * Use \c lzo1x_1_15_compress because it + * is described as faster than the + * standard routine, although it does + * need a bit more memory. */ #define LZO_WORKSPACE LZO1X_1_15_MEM_COMPRESS + /**< The size in bytes of the memory + * %buffer required by the LZO library + * compression algorithm. */ #define LZO_DECOMPRESS lzo1x_decompress_safe + /**< LZO library decompression function. + * + * Use safe decompress because it + * includes checks for possible %buffer + * overflows.
