tcp: add more specific possible drop reasons in tcp_rcv_synsent_state_process()

This patch does two things:
1) add two more new reasons
2) only change the return value(1) to various drop reason values
for the future use

For now, we still cannot trace those two reasons. We'll implement the full
function in the subsequent patch in this series.

tcp: no need to use acceptable for conn_request

Since tcp_conn_request() always returns zero, there is no need to
keep the dead code. Remove it then.

net: tcp: accept old ack during closing

For now, the packet with an old ack is not accepted if we are in
FIN_WAIT1 state, which can cause retransmission. Taking the following
case as an example:

Client Server
| |
FIN_WAIT1(Send FIN, seq=10) FIN_WAIT1(Send FIN, seq=20, ack=10)
| |
| Send ACK(seq=21, ack=11)
Recv ACK(seq=21, ack=11)
|
Recv FIN(seq=20, ack=10)

In the case above, simultaneous close is happening, and the FIN and ACK
packet that send from the server is out of order. Then, the FIN will be
dropped by the client, as it has an old ack. Then, the server has to
retransmit the FIN, which can cause delay if the server has set the
SO_LINGER on the socket.

Old ack is accepted in the ESTABLISHED and TIME_WAIT state, and I think
it should be better to keep the same logic.

In this commit, we accept old ack in FIN_WAIT1/FIN_WAIT2/CLOSING/LAST_ACK
states. Maybe we should limit it to FIN_WAIT1 for now?

tcp: fix tcp_disordered_ack() vs usec TS resolution

After commit 939463016b7a ("tcp: change data receiver flowlabel after one dup")
we noticed an increase of TCPACKSkippedPAWS events.

Neal Cardwell tracked the issue to tcp_disordered_ack() assumption
about remote peer TS clock.

RFC 1323 & 7323 are suggesting the following:
"timestamp clock frequency in the range 1 ms to 1 sec per tick
between 1ms and 1sec."

This has to be adjusted for 1 MHz clock frequency.

This hints at reorders of SACK packets on send side,
this might deserve a future patch.
(skb->ooo_okay is always set for pure ACK packets)

# 3d501dd3 05-Dec-2023 Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

tcp: do not accept ACK of bytes we never sent

This patch is based on a detailed report and ideas from Yepeng Pan
and Christian Rossow.

ACK seq validation is currently following RFC 5961 5.2 guidelines:

The ACK value is considered acceptable only if
it is in the range of ((SND.UNA - MAX.SND.WND) <= SEG.ACK <=
SND.NXT). All incoming segments whose ACK value doesn't satisfy the
above condition MUST be discarded and an ACK sent back. It needs to
be noted that RFC 793 on page 72 (fifth check) says: "If the ACK is a
duplicate (SEG.ACK < SND.UNA), it can be ignored. If the ACK
acknowledges something not yet sent (SEG.ACK > SND.NXT) then send an
ACK, drop the segment, and return". The "ignored" above implies that
the processing of the incoming data segment continues, which means
the ACK value is treated as acceptable. This mitigation makes the
ACK check more stringent since any ACK < SND.UNA wouldn't be
accepted, instead only ACKs that are in the range ((SND.UNA -
MAX.SND.WND) <= SEG.ACK <= SND.NXT) get through.

This can be refined for new (and possibly spoofed) flows,
by not accepting ACK for bytes that were never sent.

This greatly improves TCP security at a little cost.

I added a Fixes: tag to make sure this patch will reach stable trees,
even if the 'blamed' patch was adhering to the RFC.

tp->bytes_acked was added in linux-4.2

Following packetdrill test (courtesy of Yepeng Pan) shows
the issue at hand:

0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
+0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
+0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0

// ---------------- Handshake ------------------- //

// when window scale is set to 14 the window size can be extended to
// 65535 * (2^14) = 1073725440. Linux would accept an ACK packet

net/tcp: Don't store TCP-AO maclen on reqsk

This extra check doesn't work for a handshake when SYN segment has
(current_key.maclen != rnext_key.maclen). It could be amended to
preserve rnext_key.maclen instead of current_key.maclen, but that
requires a lookup on listen socket.

Originally, this extra maclen check was introduced just because it was
cheap. Drop it and convert tcp_request_sock::maclen into boolean
tcp_request_sock::used_tcp_ao.

tcp: fix fastopen code vs usec TS

After blamed commit, TFO client-ack-dropped-then-recovery-ms-timestamps
packetdrill test failed.

David Morley and Neal Cardwell started investigating and Neal pointed
that we had :

tcp_conn_request()
tcp_try_fastopen()
-> tcp_fastopen_create_child
-> child = inet_csk(sk)->icsk_af_ops->syn_recv_sock()
-> tcp_create_openreq_child()
-> copy req_usec_ts from req:
newtp->tcp_usec_ts = treq->req_usec_ts;
// now the new TFO server socket always does usec TS, no matter
// what the route options are...
send_synack()
-> tcp_make_synack()
// disable tcp_rsk(req)->req_usec_ts if route option is not present:
if (tcp_rsk(req)->req_usec_ts < 0)
tcp_rsk(req)->req_usec_ts = dst_tcp_usec_ts(dst);

tcp_conn_request() has the initial dst, we can initialize
tcp_rsk(req)->req_usec_ts there instead of later in send_synack();

This means tcp_rsk(req)->req_usec_ts can be a boolean.

Many thanks to David an Neal for their help.

net/tcp: Add static_key for TCP-AO

Similarly to TCP-MD5, add a static key to TCP-AO that is patched out
when there are no keys on a machine and dynamically enabled with the
first setsockopt(TCP_AO) adds a key on any socket. The static key is as
well dynamically disabled later when the socket is destructed.

The lifetime of enabled static key here is the same as ao_info: it is
enabled on allocation, passed over from full socket to twsk and
destructed when ao_info is scheduled for destruction.

tcp: add support for usec resolution in TCP TS values

Back in 2015, Van Jacobson suggested to use usec resolution in TCP TS values.
This has been implemented in our private kernels.

Goals were :

1) better observability of delays in networking stacks.
2) better disambiguation of events based on TSval/ecr values.
3) building block for congestion control modules needing usec resolution.

Back then we implemented a schem based on private SYN options
to negotiate the feature.

For upstream submission, we chose to use a route attribute,
because this feature is probably going to be used in private
networks [1] [2].

ip route add 10/8 ... features tcp_usec_ts

Note that RFC 7323 recommends a
"timestamp clock frequency in the range 1 ms to 1 sec per tick.",
but also mentions
"the maximum acceptable clock frequency is one tick every 59 ns."

[1] Unfortunately RFC 7323 5.5 (Outdated Timestamps) suggests
to invalidate TS.Recent values after a flow was idle for more
than 24 days. This is the part making usec_ts a problem
for peers following this recommendation for long living
idle flows.

[2] Attempts to standardize usec ts went nowhere:

tcp: change data receiver flowlabel after one dup

This commit changes the data receiver repath behavior to occur after
receiving a single duplicate. This can help recover ACK connectivity
quicker if a TLP was sent along a nonworking path.

For instance, consider the case where we have an initially nonworking
forward path and reverse path and subsequently switch to only working
forward paths. Before this patch we would have the following behavior.

+---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+
| Event | For FL | Rev FL | FP Works | RP Works | Data Del |
+---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+
| Initial | A | 1 | N | N | 0 |
+---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+
| TLP | A | 1 | N | N | 0 |
+---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+
| RTO 1 | B | 1 | Y | N | 1 |
+---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+
| RTO 2 | C | 1 | Y | N | 2 |
+---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+
| RTO 3 | D | 2 | Y | Y | 3 |
+---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+

This patch gets rid of at least RTO 3, avoiding additional unnecessary
repaths of a working forward path to a (potentially) nonworking one.

In addition, this commit changes the behavior to avoid repathing upon
rx of duplicate data if the local endpoint is in CA_Loss (in which
case the RTOs will already be changing the outgoing flowlabel).

tcp: new TCP_INFO stats for RTO events

The 2023 SIGCOMM paper "Improving Network Availability with Protective
ReRoute" has indicated Linux TCP's RTO-triggered txhash rehashing can
effectively reduce application disruption during outages. To better
measure the efficacy of this feature, this patch adds three more
detailed stats during RTO recovery and exports via TCP_INFO.
Applications and monitoring systems can leverage this data to measure
the network path diversity and end-to-end repair latency during network
outages to improve their network infrastructure.

The following counters are added to tcp_sock in order to track RTO
events over the lifetime of a TCP socket.

1. u16 total_rto - Counts the total number of RTO timeouts.
2. u16 total_rto_recoveries - Counts the total number of RTO recoveries.
3. u32 total_rto_time - Counts the total time spent (ms) in RTO
recoveries. (time spent in CA_Loss and
CA_Recovery states)

To compute total_rto_time, we add a new u32 rto_stamp field to
tcp_sock. rto_stamp records the start timestamp (ms) of the last RTO
recovery (CA_Loss).

Corresponding fields are also added to the tcp_info struct.

tcp: call tcp_try_undo_recovery when an RTOd TFO SYNACK is ACKed

For passive TCP Fast Open sockets that had SYN/ACK timeout and did not
send more data in SYN_RECV, upon receiving the final ACK in 3WHS, the
congestion state may awkwardly stay in CA_Loss mode unless the CA state
was undone due to TCP timestamp checks. However, if
tcp_rcv_synrecv_state_fastopen() decides not to undo, then we should
enter CA_Open, because at that point we have received an ACK covering
the retransmitted SYNACKs. Currently, the icsk_ca_state is only set to
CA_Open after we receive an ACK for a data-packet. This is because
tcp_ack does not call tcp_fastretrans_alert (and tcp_process_loss) if
!prior_packets

Note that tcp_process_loss() calls tcp_try_undo_recovery(), so having
tcp_rcv_synrecv_state_fastopen() decide that if we're in CA_Loss we
should call tcp_try_undo_recovery() is consistent with that, and
low risk.

running the user thread issuing socket system calls,
and a separate cpu to process incoming packets from BH context.
(With TSO/GRO, bottleneck is usually the 'user' cpu)

Problem is the user thread can spend a lot of time while holding
the socket lock, forcing BH handler to queue most of incoming
packets in the socket backlog.

Whenever the user thread releases the socket lock, it must first
process all accumulated packets in the backlog, potentially
adding latency spikes. Due to flood mitigation, having too many
packets in the backlog increases chance of unexpected drops.

Backlog processing unfortunately shifts a fair amount of cpu cycles
from the BH cpu to the 'user' cpu, thus reducing max throughput.

This patch takes advantage of the backlog processing,
and the fact that ACK are mostly cumulative.

The idea is to detect we are in the backlog processing
and defer all eligible ACK into a single one,
sent from tcp_release_cb().

This saves cpu cycles on both sides, and network resources.

Performance of a single TCP flow on a 200Gbit NIC:

- Throughput is increased by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
- Number of generated ACK per second shrinks from 240,000 to 40,000.
- Number of backlog drops per second shrinks from 230 to 0.

Benchmark context:
- Regular netperf TCP_STREAM (no zerocopy)
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8481C (Saphire Rapids)
- MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 17 (~60KB per GRO packet)

This feature is guarded by a new sysctl, and enabled by default:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_backlog_ack_defer

tcp: fix wrong RTO timeout when received SACK reneging

This commit fix wrong RTO timeout when received SACK reneging.

When an ACK arrived pointing to a SACK reneging, tcp_check_sack_reneging()
will rearm the RTO timer for min(1/2*srtt, 10ms) into to the future.

But since the commit 62d9f1a6945b ("tcp: fix TLP timer not set when
CA_STATE changes from DISORDER to OPEN") merged, the tcp_set_xmit_timer()
is moved after tcp_fastretrans_alert()(which do the SACK reneging check),
so the RTO timeout will be overwrited by tcp_set_xmit_timer() with
icsk_rto instead of 1/2*srtt.

Here is a packetdrill script to check this bug:
0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
+0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
+0 listen(3, 1) = 0

// simulate srtt to 100ms
+0 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1000, sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 7>
+0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7>
+.1 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 1024

+0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4

+0 write(4, ..., 10000) = 10000
+0 > P. 1:10001(10000) ack 1

// inject sack
+.1 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 <sack 1001:10001,nop,nop>
+0 > . 1:1001(1000) ack 1

// inject sack reneging
+.1 < . 1:1(0) ack 1001 win 257 <sack 9001:10001,nop,nop>

// we expect rto fired in 1/2*srtt (50ms)
+.05 > . 1001:2001(1000) ack 1

This fix remove the FLAG_SET_XMIT_TIMER from ack_flag when
tcp_check_sack_reneging() set RTO timer with 1/2*srtt to avoid
being overwrited later.

tcp: fix delayed ACKs for MSS boundary condition

This commit fixes poor delayed ACK behavior that can cause poor TCP
latency in a particular boundary condition: when an application makes
a TCP socket write that is an exact multiple of the MSS size.

The problem is that there is painful boundary discontinuity in the
current delayed ACK behavior. With the current delayed ACK behavior,
we have:

(1) If an app reads data when > 1*MSS is unacknowledged, then
tcp_cleanup_rbuf() ACKs immediately because of:

tp->rcv_nxt - tp->rcv_wup > icsk->icsk_ack.rcv_mss ||

(2) If an app reads all received data, and the packets were < 1*MSS,
and either (a) the app is not ping-pong or (b) we received two
packets < 1*MSS, then tcp_cleanup_rbuf() ACKs immediately beecause
of:

((icsk->icsk_ack.pending & ICSK_ACK_PUSHED2) ||
((icsk->icsk_ack.pending & ICSK_ACK_PUSHED) &&
!inet_csk_in_pingpong_mode(sk))) &&

(3) *However*: if an app reads exactly 1*MSS of data,
tcp_cleanup_rbuf() does not send an immediate ACK. This is true
even if the app is not ping-pong and the 1*MSS of data had the PSH
bit set, suggesting the sending application completed an
application write.

Thus if the app is not ping-pong, we have this painful case where
>1*MSS gets an immediate ACK, and <1*MSS gets an immediate ACK, but a
write whose last skb is an exact multiple of 1*MSS can get a 40ms
delayed ACK. This means that any app that transfers data in one
direction and takes care to align write size or packet size with MSS
can suffer this problem. With receive zero copy making 4KB MSS values
more common, it is becoming more common to have application writes
naturally align with MSS, and more applications are likely to
encounter this delayed ACK problem.

The fix in this commit is to refine the delayed ACK heuristics with a
simple check: immediately ACK a received 1*MSS skb with PSH bit set if
the app reads all data. Why? If an skb has a len of exactly 1*MSS and
has the PSH bit set then it is likely the end of an application
write. So more data may not be arriving soon, and yet the data sender
may be waiting for an ACK if cwnd-bound or using TX zero copy. Thus we
set ICSK_ACK_PUSHED in this case so that tcp_cleanup_rbuf() will send
an ACK immediately if the app reads all of the data and is not
ping-pong. Note that this logic is also executed for the case where
len > MSS, but in that case this logic does not matter (and does not
hurt) because tcp_cleanup_rbuf() will always ACK immediately if the
app reads data and there is more than an MSS of unACKed data.

tcp: get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale

With modern NIC drivers shifting to full page allocations per
received frame, we face the following issue:

TCP has one per-netns sysctl used to tweak how to translate
a memory use into an expected payload (RWIN), in RX path.

tcp_win_from_space() implementation is limited to few cases.

For hosts dealing with various MSS, we either under estimate
or over estimate the RWIN we send to the remote peers.

For instance with the default sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale value,
we expect to store 50% of payload per allocated chunk of memory.

For the typical use of MTU=1500 traffic, and order-0 pages allocations
by NIC drivers, we are sending too big RWIN, leading to potential
tcp collapse operations, which are extremely expensive and source
of latency spikes.

This patch makes sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale obsolete, and instead
uses a per socket scaling factor, so that we can precisely
adjust the RWIN based on effective skb->len/skb->truesize ratio.

This patch alone can double TCP receive performance when receivers
are too slow to drain their receive queue, or by allowing
a bigger RWIN when MSS is close to PAGE_SIZE.

tcp: fix mishandling when the sack compression is deferred.

In this patch, we mainly try to handle sending a compressed ack
correctly if it's deferred.

Here are more details in the old logic:
When sack compression is triggered in the tcp_compressed_ack_kick(),
if the sock is owned by user, it will set TCP_DELACK_TIMER_DEFERRED
and then defer to the release cb phrase. Later once user releases
the sock, tcp_delack_timer_handler() should send a ack as expected,
which, however, cannot happen due to lack of ICSK_ACK_TIMER flag.
Therefore, the receiver would not sent an ack until the sender's
retransmission timeout. It definitely increases unnecessary latency.

tcp: Refine SYN handling for PAWS.

Our Network Load Balancer (NLB) [0] has multiple nodes with different
IP addresses, and each node forwards TCP flows from clients to backend
targets. NLB has an option to preserve the client's source IP address
and port when routing packets to backend targets. [1]

When a client connects to two different NLB nodes, they may select the
same backend target. Then, if the client has used the same source IP
and port, the two flows at the backend side will have the same 4-tuple.

While testing around such cases, I saw these sequences on the backend
target.

IP 10.0.0.215.60000 > 10.0.3.249.10000: Flags [S], seq 2819965599, win 62727, options [mss 8365,sackOK,TS val 1029816180 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0

IP 10.0.3.249.10000 > 10.0.0.215.60000: Flags [.], ack 1, win 490, options [nop,nop,TS val 1224794914 ecr 1029816181,nop,nop,sack 1 {4156821004:4156821005}], length 0

It seems to be working correctly, but the last ACK was generated by
tcp_send_dupack() and PAWSEstab was increased. This is because the
second connection has a smaller timestamp than the first one.

In this case, we should send a dup ACK in tcp_send_challenge_ack()
to increase the correct counter and rate-limit it properly.

Let's check the SYN flag after the PAWS tests to avoid adding unnecessary
overhead for most packets.

tcp: Add listening address to SYN flood message

The SYN flood message prints the listening port number, but with many
processes bound to the same port on different IPs, it's impossible to
tell which socket is the problem.

Add the listen IP address to the SYN flood message.

For IPv6 use "[IP]:port" as per RFC-5952 and to provide ease of
copy-paste to "ss" filters. For IPv4 use "IP:port" to match.

Each protcol's "any" address and a host address now look like:

Possible SYN flooding on port 0.0.0.0:9001.
Possible SYN flooding on port 127.0.0.1:9001.
Possible SYN flooding on port [::]:9001.

tcp: refine tcp_prune_ofo_queue() logic

After commits 36a6503fedda ("tcp: refine tcp_prune_ofo_queue()
to not drop all packets") and 72cd43ba64fc1
("tcp: free batches of packets in tcp_prune_ofo_queue()")
tcp_prune_ofo_queue() drops a fraction of ooo queue,
to make room for incoming packet.

However it makes no sense to drop packets that are
before the incoming packet, in sequence space.

In order to recover from packet losses faster,
it makes more sense to only drop ooo packets
which are after the incoming packet.

tcp: fix indefinite deferral of RTO with SACK reneging

This commit fixes a bug that can cause a TCP data sender to repeatedly
defer RTOs when encountering SACK reneging.

The bug is that when we're in fast recovery in a scenario with SACK
reneging, every time we get an ACK we call tcp_check_sack_reneging()
and it can note the apparent SACK reneging and rearm the RTO timer for
srtt/2 into the future. In some SACK reneging scenarios that can
happen repeatedly until the receive window fills up, at which point
the sender can't send any more, the ACKs stop arriving, and the RTO
fires at srtt/2 after the last ACK. But that can take far too long
(O(10 secs)), since the connection is stuck in fast recovery with a
low cwnd that cannot grow beyond ssthresh, even if more bandwidth is
available.

This fix changes the logic in tcp_check_sack_reneging() to only rearm
the RTO timer if data is cumulatively ACKed, indicating forward
progress. This avoids this kind of nearly infinite loop of RTO timer
re-arming. In addition, this meets the goals of
tcp_check_sack_reneging() in handling Windows TCP behavior that looks
temporarily like SACK reneging but is not really.

Many thanks to Jakub Kicinski and Neil Spring, who reported this issue
and provided critical packet traces that enabled root-causing this
issue. Also, many thanks to Jakub Kicinski for testing this fix.

tcp: fix early ETIMEDOUT after spurious non-SACK RTO

Fix a bug reported and analyzed by Nagaraj Arankal, where the handling
of a spurious non-SACK RTO could cause a connection to fail to clear
retrans_stamp, causing a later RTO to very prematurely time out the
connection with ETIMEDOUT.

Here is the buggy scenario, expanding upon Nagaraj Arankal's excellent
report:

(*1) Send one data packet on a non-SACK connection

(*2) Because no ACK packet is received, the packet is retransmitted
and we enter CA_Loss; but this retransmission is spurious.

(*3) The ACK for the original data is received. The transmitted packet
is acknowledged. The TCP timestamp is before the retrans_stamp,
so tcp_may_undo() returns true, and tcp_try_undo_loss() returns
true without changing state to Open (because tcp_is_sack() is
false), and tcp_process_loss() returns without calling
tcp_try_undo_recovery(). Normally after undoing a CA_Loss
episode, tcp_fastretrans_alert() would see that the connection
has returned to CA_Open and fall through and call
tcp_try_to_open(), which would set retrans_stamp to 0. However,
for non-SACK connections we hold the connection in CA_Loss, so do
not fall through to call tcp_try_to_open() and do not set
retrans_stamp to 0. So retrans_stamp is (erroneously) still
non-zero.

At this point the first "retransmission event" has passed and
been recovered from. Any future retransmission is a completely
new "event". However, retrans_stamp is erroneously still
set. (And we are still in CA_Loss, which is correct.)

(*4) After 16 minutes (to correspond with tcp_retries2=15), a new data
packet is sent. Note: No data is transmitted between (*3) and
(*4) and we disabled keep alives.

The socket's timeout SHOULD be calculated from this point in
time, but instead it's calculated from the prior "event" 16
minutes ago (step (*2)).

(*5) Because no ACK packet is received, the packet is retransmitted.

(*6) At the time of the 2nd retransmission, the socket returns
ETIMEDOUT, prematurely, because retrans_stamp is (erroneously)
too far in the past (set at the time of (*2)).

This commit fixes this bug by ensuring that we reuse in
tcp_try_undo_loss() the same careful logic for non-SACK connections
that we have in tcp_try_undo_recovery(). To avoid duplicating logic,
we factor out that logic into a new
tcp_is_non_sack_preventing_reopen() helper and call that helper from
both undo functions.

bpf: Add helpers to issue and check SYN cookies in XDP

The new helpers bpf_tcp_raw_{gen,check}_syncookie_ipv{4,6} allow an XDP
program to generate SYN cookies in response to TCP SYN packets and to
check those cookies upon receiving the first ACK packet (the final
packet of the TCP handshake).

Unlike bpf_tcp_{gen,check}_syncookie these new helpers don't need a
listening socket on the local machine, which allows to use them together
with synproxy to accelerate SYN cookie generation.

net: keep sk->sk_forward_alloc as small as possible

Currently, tcp_memory_allocated can hit tcp_mem[] limits quite fast.

Each TCP socket can forward allocate up to 2 MB of memory, even after
flow became less active.

10,000 sockets can have reserved 20 GB of memory,
and we have no shrinker in place to reclaim that.

Instead of trying to reclaim the extra allocations in some places,
just keep sk->sk_forward_alloc values as small as possible.

This should not impact performance too much now we have per-cpu
reserves: Changes to tcp_memory_allocated should not be too frequent.

For sockets not using SO_RESERVE_MEM:
- idle sockets (no packets in tx/rx queues) have zero forward alloc.
- non idle sockets have a forward alloc smaller than one page.

Note:

- Removal of SK_RECLAIM_CHUNK and SK_RECLAIM_THRESHOLD
is left to MPTCP maintainers as a follow up.

tcp: fix tcp_mtup_probe_success vs wrong snd_cwnd

syzbot got a new report [1] finally pointing to a very old bug,
added in initial support for MTU probing.

tcp_mtu_probe() has checks about starting an MTU probe if
tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) >= 11.

But nothing prevents tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) to be reduced later
and before the MTU probe succeeds.

This bug would lead to potential zero-divides.

Debugging added in commit 40570375356c ("tcp: add accessors
to read/set tp->snd_cwnd") has paid off :)

While we are at it, address potential overflows in this code.

tcp: improve PRR loss recovery

This patch improves TCP PRR loss recovery behavior for a corner
case. Previously during PRR conservation-bound mode, it strictly
sends the amount equals to the amount newly acked or s/acked.

The patch changes s.t. PRR may send additional amount that was banked
previously (e.g. application-limited) in the conservation-bound
mode, similar to the slow-start mode. This unifies and simplifies the
algorithm further and may improve the recovery latency. This change
still follow the general packet conservation design principle and
always keep inflight/cwnd below the slow start threshold set
by the congestion control module.

PRR is described in RFC 6937. We'll include this change in the
latest revision rfc6937-bis as well.

tcp: drop skb dst in tcp_rcv_established()

In commit f84af32cbca7 ("net: ip_queue_rcv_skb() helper")
I dropped the skb dst in tcp_data_queue().

This only dealt with so-called TCP input slow path.

When fast path is taken, tcp_rcv_established() calls
tcp_queue_rcv() while skb still has a dst.

This was mostly fine, because most dsts at this point
are not refcounted (thanks to early demux)

However, TCP packets sent over loopback have refcounted dst.

Then commit 68822bdf76f1 ("net: generalize skb freeing
deferral to per-cpu lists") came and had the effect
of delaying skb freeing for an arbitrary time.

If during this time the involved netns is dismantled, cleanup_net()
frees the struct net with embedded net->ipv6.ip6_dst_ops.

Then when eventually dst_destroy_rcu() is called,
if (dst->ops->destroy) ... triggers an use-after-free.

It is not clear if ip6_route_net_exit() lacks a rcu_barrier()
as syzbot reported similar issues before the blamed commit.

tcp: fix potential xmit stalls caused by TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT

I had this bug sitting for too long in my pile, it is time to fix it.

Thanks to Doug Porter for reminding me of it!

We had various attempts in the past, including commit
0cbe6a8f089e ("tcp: remove SOCK_QUEUE_SHRUNK"),
but the issue is that TCP stack currently only generates
EPOLLOUT from input path, when tp->snd_una has advanced
and skb(s) cleaned from rtx queue.

If a flow has a big RTT, and/or receives SACKs, it is possible
that the notsent part (tp->write_seq - tp->snd_nxt) reaches 0
and no more data can be sent until tp->snd_una finally advances.

What is needed is to also check if POLLOUT needs to be generated
whenever tp->snd_nxt is advanced, from output path.

This bug triggers more often after an idle period, as
we do not receive ACK for at least one RTT. tcp_notsent_lowat
could be a fraction of what CWND and pacing rate would allow to
send during this RTT.

In a followup patch, I will remove the bogus call
to tcp_chrono_stop(sk, TCP_CHRONO_SNDBUF_LIMITED)
from tcp_check_space(). Fact that we have decided to generate
an EPOLLOUT does not mean the application has immediately
refilled the transmit queue. This optimistic call
might have been the reason the bug seemed not too serious.

Tested:

200 ms rtt, 1% packet loss, 32 MB tcp_rmem[2] and tcp_wmem[2]

$ echo 500000 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat
$ cat bench_rr.sh
SUM=0
for i in {1..10}
do
V=`netperf -H remote_host -l30 -t TCP_RR -- -r 10000000,10000 -o LOCAL_BYTES_SENT | egrep -v "MIGRATED|Bytes"`

net: tcp: use tcp_drop_reason() for tcp_data_queue()

Replace tcp_drop() used in tcp_data_queue() with tcp_drop_reason().
Following drop reasons are introduced:

SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_ZEROWINDOW
SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_OLD_DATA
SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_OVERWINDOW

SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_OLD_DATA is used for the case that end_seq of skb
less than the left edges of receive window. (Maybe there is a better
name?)

net: tcp: introduce tcp_drop_reason()

For TCP protocol, tcp_drop() is used to free the skb when it needs
to be dropped. To make use of kfree_skb_reason() and pass the drop
reason to it, introduce the function tcp_drop_reason(). Meanwhile,
make tcp_drop() an inline call to tcp_drop_reason().

net/smc: Limit SMC visits when handshake workqueue congested

This patch intends to provide a mechanism to put constraint on SMC
connections visit according to the pressure of SMC handshake process.
At present, frequent visits will cause the incoming connections to be
backlogged in SMC handshake queue, raise the connections established
time. Which is quite unacceptable for those applications who base on
short lived connections.

There are two ways to implement this mechanism:

1. Put limitation after TCP established.
2. Put limitation before TCP established.

In the first way, we need to wait and receive CLC messages that the
client will potentially send, and then actively reply with a decline
message, in a sense, which is also a sort of SMC handshake, affect the
connections established time on its way.

In the second way, the only problem is that we need to inject SMC logic
into TCP when it is about to reply the incoming SYN, since we already do
that, it's seems not a problem anymore. And advantage is obvious, few
additional processes are required to complete the constraint.

This patch use the second way. After this patch, connections who beyond
constraint will not informed any SMC indication, and SMC will not be
involved in any of its subsequent processes.

tcp: Use BPF timeout setting for SYN ACK RTO

When setting RTO through BPF program, some SYN ACK packets were unaffected
and continued to use TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT constant. This patch adds timeout
option to struct request_sock. Option is initialized with TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT
and is reassigned through BPF using tcp_timeout_init call. SYN ACK
retransmits now use newly added timeout option.

Signed-off-by: Akhmat Karakotov <hmukos@yandex-team.ru>
Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com>

v2:
- Add timeout option to struct request_sock. Do not call
tcp_timeout_init on every syn ack retransmit.

v3:
- Use unsigned long for min. Bound tcp_timeout_init to TCP_RTO_MAX.

v4:
- Refactor duplicate code by adding reqsk_timeout function.

# b67985be 01-Feb-2022 Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

tcp: add missing tcp_skb_can_collapse() test in tcp_shift_skb_data()

tcp_shift_skb_data() might collapse three packets into a larger one.

P_A, P_B, P_C -> P_ABC

Historically, it used a single tcp_skb_can_collapse_to(P_A) call,
because it was enough.

In commit 85712484110d ("tcp: coalesce/collapse must respect MPTCP extensions"),
this call was replaced by a call to tcp_skb_can_collapse(P_A, P_B)

But the now needed test over P_C has been missed.

This probably broke MPTCP.

Then later, commit 9b65b17db723 ("net: avoid double accounting for pure zerocopy skbs")
added an extra condition to tcp_skb_can_collapse(), but the missing call
from tcp_shift_skb_data() is also breaking TCP zerocopy, because P_A and P_C
might have different skb_zcopy_pure() status.

Fixes: 85712484110d ("tcp: coalesce/collapse must respect MPTCP extensions")
Fixes: 9b65b17db723 ("net: avoid double accounting for pure zerocopy skbs")

tcp: annotate races around tp->urg_data

tcp_poll() and tcp_ioctl() are reading tp->urg_data without socket lock
owned.

Also, it is faster to first check tp->urg_data in tcp_poll(),
then tp->urg_seq == tp->copied_seq, because tp->urg_seq is
located in a different/cold cache line.

inet: fully convert sk->sk_rx_dst to RCU rules

syzbot reported various issues around early demux,
one being included in this changelog [1]

sk->sk_rx_dst is using RCU protection without clearly
documenting it.

And following sequences in tcp_v4_do_rcv()/tcp_v6_do_rcv()
are not following standard RCU rules.

[a] dst_release(dst);
[b] sk->sk_rx_dst = NULL;

They look wrong because a delete operation of RCU protected
pointer is supposed to clear the pointer before
the call_rcu()/synchronize_rcu() guarding actual memory freeing.

In some cases indeed, dst could be freed before [b] is done.

We could cheat by clearing sk_rx_dst before calling
dst_release(), but this seems the right time to stick
to standard RCU annotations and debugging facilities.

tcp: tracking packets with CE marks in BW rate sample

In order to track CE marks per rate sample (one round trip), TCP needs a
per-skb header field to record the tp->delivered_ce count when the skb
was sent. To make space, we replace the "last_in_flight" field which is
used exclusively for NV congestion control. The stat needed by NV can be
alternatively approximated by existing stats tcp_sock delivered and
mss_cache.

This patch counts the number of packets delivered which have CE marks in
the rate sample, using similar approach of delivery accounting.

tcp: more accurately check DSACKs to grow RACK reordering window

Previously, a DSACK could expand the RACK reordering window when no
reordering has been seen, and/or when the DSACK was due to an
unnecessary TLP retransmit (rather than a spurious fast recovery due
to reordering). This could result in unnecessarily growing the RACK
reordering window and thus unnecessarily delaying RACK-based fast
recovery episodes.

To avoid these issues, this commit tightens the conditions under which
a DSACK triggers the RACK reordering window to grow, so that a
connection only expands its RACK reordering window if:

(a) reordering has been seen in the connection
(b) a DSACKed range does not match the most recent TLP retransmit

tcp: tweak len/truesize ratio for coalesce candidates

tcp_grow_window() is using skb->len/skb->truesize to increase tp->rcv_ssthresh
which has a direct impact on advertized window sizes.

We added TCP coalescing in linux-3.4 & linux-3.5:

Instead of storing skbs with one or two MSS in receive queue (or OFO queue),
we try to append segments together to reduce memory overhead.

High performance network drivers tend to cook skb with 3 parts :

1) sk_buff structure (256 bytes)
2) skb->head contains room to copy headers as needed, and skb_shared_info
3) page fragment(s) containing the ~1514 bytes frame (or more depending on MTU)

Once coalesced into a previous skb, 1) and 2) are freed.

We can therefore tweak the way we compute len/truesize ratio knowing
that skb->truesize is inflated by 1) and 2) soon to be freed.

This is done only for in-order skb, or skb coalesced into OFO queue.

The result is that low rate flows no longer pay the memory price of having
low GRO aggregation factor. Same result for drivers not using GRO.

This is critical to allow a big enough receiver window,
typically tcp_rmem[2] / 2.

We have been using this at Google for about 5 years, it is due time
to make it upstream.

tcp: fix tcp_init_transfer() to not reset icsk_ca_initialized

This commit fixes a bug (found by syzkaller) that could cause spurious
double-initializations for congestion control modules, which could cause
memory leaks or other problems for congestion control modules (like CDG)
that allocate memory in their init functions.

The buggy scenario constructed by syzkaller was something like:

(1) create a TCP socket
(2) initiate a TFO connect via sendto()
(3) while socket is in TCP_SYN_SENT, call setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION),
which calls:
tcp_set_congestion_control() ->
tcp_reinit_congestion_control() ->
tcp_init_congestion_control()
(4) receive ACK, connection is established, call tcp_init_transfer(),
set icsk_ca_initialized=0 (without first calling cc->release()),
call tcp_init_congestion_control() again.

Note that in this sequence tcp_init_congestion_control() is called
twice without a cc->release() call in between. Thus, for CC modules
that allocate memory in their init() function, e.g, CDG, a memory leak
may occur. The syzkaller tool managed to find a reproducer that
triggered such a leak in CDG.

The bug was introduced when that commit 8919a9b31eb4 ("tcp: Only init
congestion control if not initialized already")
introduced icsk_ca_initialized and set icsk_ca_initialized to 0 in
tcp_init_transfer(), missing the possibility for a sequence like the
one above, where a process could call setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) in
state TCP_SYN_SENT (i.e. after the connect() or TFO open sendmsg()),
which would call tcp_init_congestion_control(). It did not intend to
reset any initialization that the user had already explicitly made;
it just missed the possibility of that particular sequence (which
syzkaller managed to find).

net: tcp better handling of reordering then loss cases

This patch aims to improve the situation when reordering and loss are
ocurring in the same flight of packets.

Previously the reordering would first induce a spurious recovery, then
the subsequent ACK may undo the cwnd (based on the timestamps e.g.).
However the current loss recovery does not proceed to invoke
RACK to install a reordering timer. If some packets are also lost, this
may lead to a long RTO-based recovery. An example is
https://groups.google.com/g/bbr-dev/c/OFHADvJbTEI

The solution is to after reverting the recovery, always invoke RACK
to either mount the RACK timer to fast retransmit after the reordering
window, or restarts the recovery if new loss is identified. Hence
it is possible the sender may go from Recovery to Disorder/Open to
Recovery again in one ACK.

Jakub reported Data included in a Fastopen SYN that had to be
retransmit would have to wait for an RTO if TX completions are slow,

This is because tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() does not use standard
rtx logic, meaning TSQ handler exits early in tcp_tsq_write()
because tp->lost_out == tp->retrans_out

Lets make tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() use standard rtx logic,
by using tcp_mark_skb_lost() on the skb thats needs to be

Not this raised a warning in tcp_fastretrans_alert() during my tests
since we consider the data not being aknowledged

tcp: fix TLP timer not set when CA_STATE changes from DISORDER to OPEN

Upon receiving a cumulative ACK that changes the congestion state from
Disorder to Open, the TLP timer is not set. If the sender is app-limited,
it can only wait for the RTO timer to expire and retransmit.

The reason for this is that the TLP timer is set before the congestion
state changes in tcp_ack(), so we delay the time point of calling
tcp_set_xmit_timer() until after tcp_fastretrans_alert() returns and
remove the FLAG_SET_XMIT_TIMER from ack_flag when the RACK reorder timer
is set.

This commit has two additional benefits:
1) Make sure to reset RTO according to RFC6298 when receiving ACK, to
avoid spurious RTO caused by RTO timer early expires.
2) Reduce the xmit timer reschedule once per ACK when the RACK reorder
timer is set.

The number of unanswered zero-window probes (tcp_probes_out) is

RFC 1122 4.2.2.17 requires the sender to stay open indefinitely

tcp: Add logic to check for SYN w/ data in tcp_simple_retransmit

There are cases where a fastopen SYN may trigger either a ICMP_TOOBIG
message in the case of IPv6 or a fragmentation request in the case of
IPv4. This results in the socket stalling for a second or more as it does
not respond to the message by retransmitting the SYN frame.

Normally a SYN frame should not be able to trigger a ICMP_TOOBIG or
ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED however in the case of fastopen we can have a frame that
makes use of the entire MSS. In the case of fastopen it does, and an
additional complication is that the retransmit queue doesn't contain the
original frames. As a result when tcp_simple_retransmit is called and
walks the list of frames in the queue it may not mark the frames as lost
because both the SYN and the data packet each individually are smaller than
the MSS size after the adjustment. This results in the socket being stalled
until the retransmit timer kicks in and forces the SYN frame out again
without the data attached.

In order to resolve this we can reduce the MSS the packets are compared
to in tcp_simple_retransmit to -1 for cases where we are still in the
TCP_SYN_SENT state for a fastopen socket. Doing this we will mark all of
the packets related to the fastopen SYN as lost.

tcp: select sane initial rcvq_space.space for big MSS

Before commit a337531b942b ("tcp: up initial rmem to 128KB and SYN rwin to around 64KB")
small tcp_rmem[1] values were overridden by tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() to accommodate various MSS.

This is no longer the case, and Hazem Mohamed Abuelfotoh reported
that DRS would not work for MTU 9000 endpoints receiving regular (1500 bytes) frames.

Root cause is that tcp_init_buffer_space() uses tp->rcv_wnd for upper limit
of rcvq_space.space computation, while it can select later a smaller
value for tp->rcv_ssthresh and tp->window_clamp.

ss -temoi on receiver would show :

skmem:(r0,rb131072,t0,tb46080,f0,w0,o0,bl0,d0) rcv_space:62496 rcv_ssthresh:56596

This means that TCP can not increase its window in tcp_grow_window(),
and that DRS can never kick.

Fix this by making sure that rcvq_space.space is not bigger than number of bytes
that can be held in TCP receive queue.

People unable/unwilling to change their kernel can work around this issue by
selecting a bigger tcp_rmem[1] value as in :

At this time we don't do this, the 3whs completes and the 'new subflow'
is reset afterwards. There are two ways to allow MPTCP to send the
reset.

1. override 'send_synack' callback and emit the rst from there.
The drawback is that the request socket gets inserted into the
listeners queue just to get removed again right away.

2. Send the reset from the 'route_req' function instead.
This avoids the 'add&remove request socket', but route_req lacks the
skb that is required to send the TCP reset.

Instead of just adding the skb to that function for MPTCP sake alone,
Paolo suggested to merge init_req and route_req functions.

This saves one indirection from syn processing path and provides the skb
to the merged function at the same time.

'send reset on unknown mptcp join token' is added in next patch.

tcp: avoid slow start during fast recovery on new losses

During TCP fast recovery, the congestion control in charge is by
default the Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) unless the congestion
control module specified otherwise (e.g. BBR).

Previously when tcp_packets_in_flight() is below snd_ssthresh PRR
would slow start upon receiving an ACK that
1) cumulatively acknowledges retransmitted data
and
2) does not detect further lost retransmission

Such conditions indicate the repair is in good steady progress
after the first round trip of recovery. Otherwise PRR adopts the
packet conservation principle to send only the amount that was
newly delivered (indicated by this ACK).

This patch generalizes the previous design principle to include
also the newly sent data beside retransmission: as long as
the delivery is making good progress, both retransmission and
new data should be accounted to make PRR more cautious in slow
starting.

tcp: Prevent low rmem stalls with SO_RCVLOWAT.

With SO_RCVLOWAT, under memory pressure,
it is possible to enter a state where:

1. We have not received enough bytes to satisfy SO_RCVLOWAT.
2. We have not entered buffer pressure (see tcp_rmem_pressure()).
3. But, we do not have enough buffer space to accept more packets.

In this case, we advertise 0 rwnd (due to #3) but the application does
not drain the receive queue (no wakeup because of #1 and #2) so the
flow stalls.

Modify the heuristic for SO_RCVLOWAT so that, if we are advertising
rwnd<=rcv_mss, force a wakeup to prevent a stall.

Without this patch, setting tcp_rmem to 6143 and disabling TCP
autotune causes a stalled flow. With this patch, no stall occurs. This
is with RPC-style traffic with large messages.

# 18ded910 22-Oct-2020 Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com>

tcp: fix to update snd_wl1 in bulk receiver fast path

In the header prediction fast path for a bulk data receiver, if no
data is newly acknowledged then we do not call tcp_ack() and do not
call tcp_ack_update_window(). This means that a bulk receiver that
receives large amounts of data can have the incoming sequence numbers
wrap, so that the check in tcp_may_update_window fails:
after(ack_seq, tp->snd_wl1)

If the incoming receive windows are zero in this state, and then the
connection that was a bulk data receiver later wants to send data,
that connection can find itself persistently rejecting the window
updates in incoming ACKs. This means the connection can persistently
fail to discover that the receive window has opened, which in turn
means that the connection is unable to send anything, and the
connection's sending process can get permanently "stuck".

The fix is to update snd_wl1 in the header prediction fast path for a
bulk data receiver, so that it keeps up and does not see wrapping
problems.

This fix is based on a very nice and thorough analysis and diagnosis
by Apollon Oikonomopoulos (see link below).

This is a stable candidate but there is no Fixes tag here since the
bug predates current git history. Just for fun: looks like the bug
dates back to when header prediction was added in Linux v2.1.8 in Nov
1996. In that version tcp_rcv_established() was added, and the code
only updates snd_wl1 in tcp_ack(), and in the new "Bulk data transfer:
receiver" code path it does not call tcp_ack(). This fix seems to
apply cleanly at least as far back as v3.2.

This is later used from tcp_check_space() before

Problem is: If we receive SACK packets, and no packet
is removed from RTX queue, we can send fresh packets, thus
moving them from write queue to rtx queue and eventually
empty the write queue.

This stall can happen if TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT is used.

With this fix, we no longer risk stalling sends while holes
are repaired, and we can fully use socket sndbuf.

tcp: Only init congestion control if not initialized already

Change tcp_init_transfer() to only initialize congestion control if it
has not been initialized already.

With this new approach, we can arrange things so that if the EBPF code
sets the congestion control by calling setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) then
tcp_init_transfer() will not re-initialize the CC module.

This is an approach that has the following beneficial properties:

(1) This allows CC module customizations made by the EBPF called in
tcp_init_transfer() to persist, and not be wiped out by a later
call to tcp_init_congestion_control() in tcp_init_transfer().

(2) Does not flip the order of EBPF and CC init, to avoid causing bugs
for existing code upstream that depends on the current order.

(3) Does not cause 2 initializations for for CC in the case where the
EBPF called in tcp_init_transfer() wants to set the CC to a new CC
algorithm.

(4) Allows follow-on simplifications to the code in net/core/filter.c
and net/ipv4/tcp_cong.c, which currently both have some complexity
to special-case CC initialization to avoid double CC
initialization if EBPF sets the CC.

tcp: bpf: Optionally store mac header in TCP_SAVE_SYN

This patch is adapted from Eric's patch in an earlier discussion [1].

The TCP_SAVE_SYN currently only stores the network header and
tcp header. This patch allows it to optionally store
the mac header also if the setsockopt's optval is 2.

It requires one more bit for the "save_syn" bit field in tcp_sock.
This patch achieves this by moving the syn_smc bit next to the is_mptcp.
The syn_smc is currently used with the TCP experimental option. Since
syn_smc is only used when CONFIG_SMC is enabled, this patch also puts
the "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SMC)" around it like the is_mptcp did
with "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MPTCP)".

The mac_hdrlen is also stored in the "struct saved_syn"
to allow a quick offset from the bpf prog if it chooses to start
getting from the network header or the tcp header.

bpf: tcp: Allow bpf prog to write and parse TCP header option

[ Note: The TCP changes here is mainly to implement the bpf
pieces into the bpf_skops_*() functions introduced
in the earlier patches. ]

The earlier effort in BPF-TCP-CC allows the TCP Congestion Control
algorithm to be written in BPF. It opens up opportunities to allow
a faster turnaround time in testing/releasing new congestion control
ideas to production environment.

The same flexibility can be extended to writing TCP header option.
It is not uncommon that people want to test new TCP header option
to improve the TCP performance. Another use case is for data-center
that has a more controlled environment and has more flexibility in
putting header options for internal only use.

For example, we want to test the idea in putting maximum delay
ACK in TCP header option which is similar to a draft RFC proposal [1].

This patch introduces the necessary BPF API and use them in the
TCP stack to allow BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS program to parse
and write TCP header options. It currently supports most of
the TCP packet except RST.

Supported TCP header option:
───────────────────────────
This patch allows the bpf-prog to write any option kind.
Different bpf-progs can write its own option by calling the new helper
bpf_store_hdr_opt(). The helper will ensure there is no duplicated
option in the header.

By allowing bpf-prog to write any option kind, this gives a lot of
flexibility to the bpf-prog. Different bpf-prog can write its
own option kind. It could also allow the bpf-prog to support a
recently standardized option on an older kernel.

Sockops Callback Flags:
──────────────────────
The bpf program will only be called to parse/write tcp header option
if the following newly added callback flags are enabled
in tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags:
BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_UNKNOWN_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG
BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_ALL_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG
BPF_SOCK_OPS_WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG

A few words on the PARSE CB flags. When the above PARSE CB flags are
turned on, the bpf-prog will be called on packets received
at a sk that has at least reached the ESTABLISHED state.
The parsing of the SYN-SYNACK-ACK will be discussed in the
"3 Way HandShake" section.

The default is off for all of the above new CB flags, i.e. the bpf prog
will not be called to parse or write bpf hdr option. There are
details comment on these new cb flags in the UAPI bpf.h.

sock_ops->skb_data and bpf_load_hdr_opt()
─────────────────────────────────────────
sock_ops->skb_data and sock_ops->skb_data_end covers the whole
TCP header and its options. They are read only.

The new bpf_load_hdr_opt() helps to read a particular option "kind"
from the skb_data.

Please refer to the comment in UAPI bpf.h. It has details
on what skb_data contains under different sock_ops->op.

3 Way HandShake
───────────────
The bpf-prog can learn if it is sending SYN or SYNACK by reading the
sock_ops->skb_tcp_flags.

* Passive side

When writing SYNACK (i.e. sock_ops->op == BPF_SOCK_OPS_WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB),
the received SYN skb will be available to the bpf prog. The bpf prog can
use the SYN skb (which may carry the header option sent from the remote bpf
prog) to decide what bpf header option should be written to the outgoing
SYNACK skb. The SYN packet can be obtained by getsockopt(TCP_BPF_SYN*).
More on this later. Also, the bpf prog can learn if it is in syncookie
mode (by checking sock_ops->args[0] == BPF_WRITE_HDR_TCP_SYNACK_COOKIE).

The bpf prog can store the received SYN pkt by using the existing
bpf_setsockopt(TCP_SAVE_SYN). The example in a later patch does it.
[ Note that the fullsock here is a listen sk, bpf_sk_storage
is not very useful here since the listen sk will be shared
by many concurrent connection requests.

Extending bpf_sk_storage support to request_sock will add weight
to the minisock and it is not necessary better than storing the
whole ~100 bytes SYN pkt. ]

When the connection is established, the bpf prog will be called
in the existing PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB callback. At that time,
the bpf prog can get the header option from the saved syn and
then apply the needed operation to the newly established socket.
The later patch will use the max delay ack specified in the SYN
header and set the RTO of this newly established connection
as an example.

The received ACK (that concludes the 3WHS) will also be available to
the bpf prog during PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB through the sock_ops->skb_data.
It could be useful in syncookie scenario. More on this later.

There is an existing getsockopt "TCP_SAVED_SYN" to return the whole
saved syn pkt which includes the IP[46] header and the TCP header.
A few "TCP_BPF_SYN*" getsockopt has been added to allow specifying where to
start getting from, e.g. starting from TCP header, or from IP[46] header.

The new getsockopt(TCP_BPF_SYN*) will also know where it can get
the SYN's packet from:
- (a) the just received syn (available when the bpf prog is writing SYNACK)
and it is the only way to get SYN during syncookie mode.
or
- (b) the saved syn (available in PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB and also other
existing CB).

The bpf prog does not need to know where the SYN pkt is coming from.
The getsockopt(TCP_BPF_SYN*) will hide this details.

Similarly, a flags "BPF_LOAD_HDR_OPT_TCP_SYN" is also added to
bpf_load_hdr_opt() to read a particular header option from the SYN packet.

* Fastopen

Fastopen should work the same as the regular non fastopen case.
This is a test in a later patch.

* Syncookie

For syncookie, the later example patch asks the active
side's bpf prog to resend the header options in ACK. The server
can use bpf_load_hdr_opt() to look at the options in this
received ACK during PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB.

* Active side

The bpf prog will get a chance to write the bpf header option
in the SYN packet during WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB. The received SYNACK
pkt will also be available to the bpf prog during the existing
ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB callback through the sock_ops->skb_data
and bpf_load_hdr_opt().

* Turn off header CB flags after 3WHS

If the bpf prog does not need to write/parse header options
beyond the 3WHS, the bpf prog can clear the bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags
to avoid being called for header options.
Or the bpf-prog can select to leave the UNKNOWN_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG on
so that the kernel will only call it when there is option that
the kernel cannot handle.

bpf: tcp: Add bpf_skops_hdr_opt_len() and bpf_skops_write_hdr_opt()

The bpf prog needs to parse the SYN header to learn what options have
been sent by the peer's bpf-prog before writing its options into SYNACK.
This patch adds a "syn_skb" arg to tcp_make_synack() and send_synack().
This syn_skb will eventually be made available (as read-only) to the
bpf prog. This will be the only SYN packet available to the bpf
prog during syncookie. For other regular cases, the bpf prog can
also use the saved_syn.

When writing options, the bpf prog will first be called to tell the
kernel its required number of bytes. It is done by the new
bpf_skops_hdr_opt_len(). The bpf prog will only be called when the new
BPF_SOCK_OPS_WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG is set in tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags.
When the bpf prog returns, the kernel will know how many bytes are needed
and then update the "*remaining" arg accordingly. 4 byte alignment will
be included in the "*remaining" before this function returns. The 4 byte
aligned number of bytes will also be stored into the opts->bpf_opt_len.
"bpf_opt_len" is a newly added member to the struct tcp_out_options.

Then the new bpf_skops_write_hdr_opt() will call the bpf prog to write the
header options. The bpf prog is only called if it has reserved spaces
before (opts->bpf_opt_len > 0).

The bpf prog is the last one getting a chance to reserve header space
and writing the header option.

These two functions are half implemented to highlight the changes in
TCP stack. The actual codes preparing the bpf running context and
invoking the bpf prog will be added in the later patch with other
necessary bpf pieces.

bpf: tcp: Add bpf_skops_parse_hdr()

The patch adds a function bpf_skops_parse_hdr().
It will call the bpf prog to parse the TCP header received at
a tcp_sock that has at least reached the ESTABLISHED state.

For the packets received during the 3WHS (SYN, SYNACK and ACK),
the received skb will be available to the bpf prog during the callback
in bpf_skops_established() introduced in the previous patch and
in the bpf_skops_write_hdr_opt() that will be added in the
next patch.

Calling bpf prog to parse header is controlled by two new flags in
tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags:
BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_UNKNOWN_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG and
BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_ALL_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG.

When BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_UNKNOWN_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG is set,
the bpf prog will only be called when there is unknown
option in the TCP header.

When BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_ALL_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG is set,
the bpf prog will be called on all received TCP header.

This function is half implemented to highlight the changes in
TCP stack. The actual codes preparing the bpf running context and

bpf: tcp: Add bpf_skops_established()

In tcp_init_transfer(), it currently calls the bpf prog to give it a
chance to handle the just "ESTABLISHED" event (e.g. do setsockopt
on the newly established sk). Right now, it is done by calling the
general purpose tcp_call_bpf().

In the later patch, it also needs to pass the just-received skb which
concludes the 3 way handshake. E.g. the SYNACK received at the active side.
The bpf prog can then learn some specific header options written by the
peer's bpf-prog and potentially do setsockopt on the newly established sk.
Thus, instead of reusing the general purpose tcp_call_bpf(), a new function
bpf_skops_established() is added to allow passing the "skb" to the bpf
prog. The actual skb passing from bpf_skops_established() to the bpf prog
will happen together in a later patch which has the necessary bpf pieces.

A "skb" arg is also added to tcp_init_transfer() such that
it can then be passed to bpf_skops_established().

Calling the new bpf_skops_established() instead of tcp_call_bpf()
should be a noop in this patch.

tcp: Add saw_unknown to struct tcp_options_received

In a later patch, the bpf prog only wants to be called to handle
a header option if that particular header option cannot be handled by
the kernel. This unknown option could be written by the peer's bpf-prog.
It could also be a new standard option that the running kernel does not
support it while a bpf-prog can handle it.

This patch adds a "saw_unknown" bit to "struct tcp_options_received"
and it uses an existing one byte hole to do that. "saw_unknown" will
be set in tcp_parse_options() if it sees an option that the kernel
cannot handle.

tcp: Use a struct to represent a saved_syn

The TCP_SAVE_SYN has both the network header and tcp header.
The total length of the saved syn packet is currently stored in
the first 4 bytes (u32) of an array and the actual packet data is
stored after that.

A later patch will add a bpf helper that allows to get the tcp header
alone from the saved syn without the network header. It will be more
convenient to have a direct offset to a specific header instead of
re-parsing it. This requires to separately store the network hdrlen.
The total header length (i.e. network + tcp) is still needed for the
current usage in getsockopt. Although this total length can be obtained
by looking into the tcphdr and then get the (th->doff << 2), this patch
chooses to directly store the tcp hdrlen in the second four bytes of
this newly created "struct saved_syn". By using a new struct, it can
give a readable name to each individual header length.

tcp: apply a floor of 1 for RTT samples from TCP timestamps

For retransmitted packets, TCP needs to resort to using TCP timestamps
for computing RTT samples. In the common case where the data and ACK
fall in the same 1-millisecond interval, TCP senders with millisecond-
granularity TCP timestamps compute a ca_rtt_us of 0. This ca_rtt_us
of 0 propagates to rs->rtt_us.

This value of 0 can cause performance problems for congestion control
modules. For example, in BBR, the zero min_rtt sample can bring the
min_rtt and BDP estimate down to 0, reduce snd_cwnd and result in a
low throughput. It would be hard to mitigate this with filtering in
the congestion control module, because the proper floor to apply would
depend on the method of RTT sampling (using timestamp options or
internally-saved transmission timestamps).

This fix applies a floor of 1 for the RTT sample delta from TCP
timestamps, so that seq_rtt_us, ca_rtt_us, and rs->rtt_us will be at
least 1 * (USEC_PER_SEC / TCP_TS_HZ).

Note that the receiver RTT computation in tcp_rcv_rtt_measure() and
min_rtt computation in tcp_update_rtt_min() both already apply a floor
of 1 timestamp tick, so this commit makes the code more consistent in
avoiding this edge case of a value of 0.

tcp: allow at most one TLP probe per flight

Previously TLP may send multiple probes of new data in one
flight. This happens when the sender is cwnd limited. After the
initial TLP containing new data is sent, the sender receives another
ACK that acks partial inflight. It may re-arm another TLP timer
to send more, if no further ACK returns before the next TLP timeout
(PTO) expires. The sender may send in theory a large amount of TLP
until send queue is depleted. This only happens if the sender sees
such irregular uncommon ACK pattern. But it is generally undesirable
behavior during congestion especially.

The original TLP design restrict only one TLP probe per inflight as
published in "Reducing Web Latency: the Virtue of Gentle Aggression",
SIGCOMM 2013. This patch changes TLP to send at most one probe
per inflight.

Note that if the sender is app-limited, TLP retransmits old data
and did not have this issue.

tcp: add SNMP counter for no. of duplicate segments reported by DSACK

There are two existing SNMP counters, TCPDSACKRecv and TCPDSACKOfoRecv,
which are incremented depending on whether the DSACKed range is below
the cumulative ACK sequence number or not. Unfortunately, these both
implicitly assume each DSACK covers only one segment. This makes these
counters unusable for estimating spurious retransmit rates,

This patch introduces a new SNMP counter, TCPDSACKRecvSegs, which tracks

tcp: don't ignore ECN CWR on pure ACK

there is a problem with the CWR flag set in an incoming ACK segment
and it leads to the situation when the ECE flag is latched forever

the following packetdrill script shows what happens:

// Stack repsonds with ECN ECHO

+0.0 >[noecn] E. 1001:1001(0) ack 14001

// Write a packet
+0.1 write(3, ..., 1000) = 1000
+0.0 >[ect0] PE. 1001:2001(1000) ack 14001

// Pure ACK received
+0.01 <[noecn] W. 14001:14001(0) ack 2001 win 65535

// Since CWR was sent, this packet should NOT have ECE set

+0.1 write(3, ..., 1000) = 1000
+0.0 >[ect0] P. 2001:3001(1000) ack 14001
// but Linux will still keep ECE latched here, with packetdrill
// flagging a missing ECE flag, expecting
// >[ect0] PE. 2001:3001(1000) ack 14001
// in the script

In the situation above we will continue to send ECN ECHO packets
and trigger the peer to reduce the congestion window. To avoid that
we can check CWR on pure ACKs received.

v3:
- Add a sequence check to avoid sending an ACK to an ACK

v2:
- Adjusted the comment
- move CWR check before checking for unacknowledged packets

tcp: grow window for OOO packets only for SACK flows

Back in 2013, we made a change that broke fast retransmit
for non SACK flows.

Indeed, for these flows, a sender needs to receive three duplicate
ACK before starting fast retransmit. Sending ACK with different
receive window do not count.

Even if enabling SACK is strongly recommended these days,
there still are some cases where it has to be disabled.

Not increasing the window seems better than having to
rely on RTO.

After the fix, following packetdrill test gives :

// Initialize connection

tcp: fix SO_RCVLOWAT hangs with fat skbs

We autotune rcvbuf whenever SO_RCVLOWAT is set to account for 100%
overhead in tcp_set_rcvlowat()

This works well when skb->len/skb->truesize ratio is bigger than 0.5

But if we receive packets with small MSS, we can end up in a situation
where not enough bytes are available in the receive queue to satisfy
RCVLOWAT setting.
As our sk_rcvbuf limit is hit, we send zero windows in ACK packets,
preventing remote peer from sending more data.

Even autotuning does not help, because it only triggers at the time
user process drains the queue. If no EPOLLIN is generated, this
can not happen.

tcp: refine tcp_pacing_delay() for very low pacing rates

With the addition of horizon feature to sch_fq, we noticed some
suboptimal behavior of extremely low pacing rate TCP flows, especially
when TCP is not aware of a drop happening in lower stacks.

Back in commit 3f80e08f40cd ("tcp: add tcp_reset_xmit_timer() helper"),
tcp_pacing_delay() was added to estimate an extra delay to add to standard
rto timers.

This patch removes the skb argument from this helper and
tcp_reset_xmit_timer() because it makes more sense to simply
consider the time at which next packet is allowed to be sent,
instead of the time of whatever packet has been sent.

This avoids arming RTO timer too soon and removes

tcp: tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() should be more conservative

Currently, tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() sends an ack if prior

But there is no guarantee all four sack ranges can be included
in SACK option. As a matter of fact, when TCP timestamps option
is used, only three SACK ranges can be included.

Lets assume only two ranges can be included, and force the ack:

- When we touch more than 2 ranges in the reordering
done if tcp_sack_extend() could be done.

- If we have at least 2 ranges when adding a new one.

This enforces that before a range is in third or fourth
position, at least one ACK packet included it in first/second
position.

In commit 86de5921a3d5 ("tcp: defer SACK compression after DupThresh")
I added a TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH bias to tp->compressed_ack in order

Since we plan to relax this rule for flows that involve
stacks not requiring this old rule, this patch adds
a distinct tp->dup_ack_counter.

This means the TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH value is now used
in a single location that a future patch can adjust:

if (tp->dup_ack_counter < TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH) {
tp->dup_ack_counter++;
goto send_now;
}

This patch also introduces tcp_sack_compress_send_ack()
helper to ease following patch comprehension.

count the acks that we had to send if the timer expires
or tcp_sack_compress_send_ack() is sending an ack.

mptcp: move option parsing into mptcp_incoming_options()

The mptcp_options_received structure carries several per
packet flags (mp_capable, mp_join, etc.). Such fields must
be cleared on each packet, even on dropped ones or packet
not carrying any MPTCP options, but the current mptcp
code clears them only on TCP option reset.

On several races/corner cases we end-up with stray bits in
incoming options, leading to WARN_ON splats. e.g.:

We could address the issue clearing explicitly the relevant fields
in several places - tcp_parse_option, tcp_fast_parse_options,
possibly others.

Instead we move the MPTCP option parsing into the already existing
mptcp ingress hook, so that we need to clear the fields in a single
place.

This allows us dropping an MPTCP hook from the TCP code and
removing the quite large mptcp_options_received from the tcp_sock
struct. On the flip side, the MPTCP sockets will traverse the
option space twice (in tcp_parse_option() and in
mptcp_incoming_options(). That looks acceptable: we already
do that for syn and 3rd ack packets, plain TCP socket will
benefit from it, and even MPTCP sockets will experience better
code locality, reducing the jumps between TCP and MPTCP code.

Currently the MPTCP code uses 2 hooks to process syn-ack
packets, mptcp_rcv_synsent() and the sk_rx_dst_set()

We can drop the first, moving the relevant code into the
latter, reducing the hooking into the TCP code. This is
also needed by the next patch.

tcp: fix TFO SYNACK undo to avoid double-timestamp-undo

In a rare corner case the new logic for undo of SYNACK RTO could
result in triggering the warning in tcp_fastretrans_alert() that says:
WARN_ON(tp->retrans_out != 0);

The warning looked like:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:2818 tcp_ack+0x13e0/0x3270

The sequence that tickles this bug is:
- Fast Open server receives TFO SYN with data, sends SYNACK
- (client receives SYNACK and sends ACK, but ACK is lost)
- server app sends some data packets
- (N of the first data packets are lost)
- server receives client ACK that has a TS ECR matching first SYNACK,
and also SACKs suggesting the first N data packets were lost
- server performs TS undo of SYNACK RTO, then immediately
enters recovery
- buggy behavior then performed a *second* undo that caused
the connection to be in CA_Open with retrans_out != 0

Basically, the incoming ACK packet with SACK blocks causes us to first
undo the cwnd reduction from the SYNACK RTO, but then immediately
enters fast recovery, which then makes us eligible for undo again. And
then tcp_rcv_synrecv_state_fastopen() accidentally performs an undo
using a "mash-up" of state from two different loss recovery phases: it
uses the timestamp info from the ACK of the original SYNACK, and the
undo_marker from the fast recovery.

This fix refines the logic to only invoke the tcp_try_undo_loss()
inside tcp_rcv_synrecv_state_fastopen() if the connection is still in
CA_Loss. If peer SACKs triggered fast recovery, then
tcp_rcv_synrecv_state_fastopen() can't safely undo.

# 9603d47b 01-Feb-2020 SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

tcp: Reduce SYN resend delay if a suspicous ACK is received

When closing a connection, the two acks that required to change closing
socket's status to FIN_WAIT_2 and then TIME_WAIT could be processed in
reverse order. This is possible in RSS disabled environments such as a
connection inside a host.

For example, expected state transitions and required packets for the
disconnection will be similar to below flow.

00 (Process A) (Process B)
01 ESTABLISHED ESTABLISHED
02 close()
03 FIN_WAIT_1
04 ---FIN-->
05 CLOSE_WAIT
06 <--ACK---
07 FIN_WAIT_2
08 <--FIN/ACK---
09 TIME_WAIT
10 ---ACK-->
11 LAST_ACK
12 CLOSED CLOSED

In some cases such as LINGER option applied socket, the FIN and FIN/ACK
will be substituted to RST and RST/ACK, but there is no difference in
the main logic.

The acks in lines 6 and 8 are the acks. If the line 8 packet is
processed before the line 6 packet, it will be just ignored as it is not
a expected packet, and the later process of the line 6 packet will
change the status of Process A to FIN_WAIT_2, but as it has already
handled line 8 packet, it will not go to TIME_WAIT and thus will not
send the line 10 packet to Process B. Thus, Process B will left in
CLOSE_WAIT status, as below.

00 (Process A) (Process B)
01 ESTABLISHED ESTABLISHED
02 close()
03 FIN_WAIT_1
04 ---FIN-->
05 CLOSE_WAIT
06 (<--ACK---)
07 (<--FIN/ACK---)
08 (fired in right order)
09 <--FIN/ACK---
10 <--ACK---
11 (processed in reverse order)
12 FIN_WAIT_2

Later, if the Process B sends SYN to Process A for reconnection using
the same port, Process A will responds with an ACK for the last flow,
which has no increased sequence number. Thus, Process A will send RST,
wait for TIMEOUT_INIT (one second in default), and then try
reconnection. If reconnections are frequent, the one second latency
spikes can be a big problem. Below is a tcpdump results of the problem:

14.436259 IP 127.0.0.1.45150 > 127.0.0.1.4242: Flags [S], seq 2560603644
14.436266 IP 127.0.0.1.4242 > 127.0.0.1.45150: Flags [.], ack 5, win 512
14.436271 IP 127.0.0.1.45150 > 127.0.0.1.4242: Flags [R], seq 2541101298
/* ONE SECOND DELAY */
15.464613 IP 127.0.0.1.45150 > 127.0.0.1.4242: Flags [S], seq 2560603644

This commit mitigates the problem by reducing the delay for the next SYN
if the suspicous ACK is received while in SYN_SENT state.

Following commit will add a selftest, which can be also helpful for
understanding of this issue.

mptcp: handle tcp fallback when using syn cookies

We can't deal with syncookie mode yet, the syncookie rx path will create
tcp reqsk, i.e. we get OOB access because we treat tcp reqsk as mptcp reqsk one:

TCP: SYN flooding on port 20002. Sending cookies.

Bug can be reproduced via "sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=2".

Note that MPTCP should work with syncookies (4th ack would carry needed
state), but it appears better to sort that out in -next so do tcp
fallback for now.

I removed the MPTCP ifdef for tcp_rsk "is_mptcp" member because
if (IS_ENABLED()) is easier to read than "#ifdef IS_ENABLED()/#endif" pair.

mptcp: parse and emit MP_CAPABLE option according to v1 spec

This implements MP_CAPABLE options parsing and writing according
to RFC 6824 bis / RFC 8684: MPTCP v1.

Local key is sent on syn/ack, and both keys are sent on 3rd ack.
MP_CAPABLE messages len are updated accordingly. We need the skbuff to
correctly emit the above, so we push the skbuff struct as an argument
all the way from tcp code to the relevant mptcp callbacks.

When processing incoming MP_CAPABLE + data, build a full blown DSS-like
map info, to simplify later processing. On child socket creation, we
need to record the remote key, if available.

mptcp: Implement MPTCP receive path

Parses incoming DSS options and populates outgoing MPTCP ACK
fields. MPTCP fields are parsed from the TCP option header and placed in
an skb extension, allowing the upper MPTCP layer to access MPTCP
options after the skb has gone through the TCP stack.

The subflow implements its own data_ready() ops, which ensures that the
pending data is in sequence - according to MPTCP seq number - dropping
out-of-seq skbs. The DATA_READY bit flag is set if this is the case.
This allows the MPTCP socket layer to determine if more data is
available without having to consult the individual subflows.

It additionally validates the current mapping and propagates EoF events
to the connection socket.

tcp: do not leave dangling pointers in tp->highest_sack

Latest commit 853697504de0 ("tcp: Fix highest_sack and highest_sack_seq")
apparently allowed syzbot to trigger various crashes in TCP stack [1]

I believe this commit only made things easier for syzbot to find
its way into triggering use-after-frees. But really the bugs
could lead to bad TCP behavior or even plain crashes even for
non malicious peers.

I have audited all calls to tcp_rtx_queue_unlink() and
tcp_rtx_queue_unlink_and_free() and made sure tp->highest_sack would be updated
if we are removing from rtx queue the skb that tp->highest_sack points to.

These updates were missing in three locations :

1) tcp_clean_rtx_queue() [This one seems quite serious,
I have no idea why this was not caught earlier]

2) tcp_rtx_queue_purge() [Probably not a big deal for normal operations]

3) tcp_send_synack() [Probably not a big deal for normal operations]

tcp: fix marked lost packets not being retransmitted

When the packet pointed to by retransmit_skb_hint is unlinked by ACK,
retransmit_skb_hint will be set to NULL in tcp_clean_rtx_queue().
If packet loss is detected at this time, retransmit_skb_hint will be set
to point to the current packet loss in tcp_verify_retransmit_hint(),
then the packets that were previously marked lost but not retransmitted
due to the restriction of cwnd will be skipped and cannot be
retransmitted.

To fix this, when retransmit_skb_hint is NULL, retransmit_skb_hint can
be reset only after all marked lost packets are retransmitted
(retrans_out >= lost_out), otherwise we need to traverse from
tcp_rtx_queue_head in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue().

Coalesce and collapse of packets carrying MPTCP extensions is allowed
when the newer packet has no extension or the extensions carried by both
packets are equal.

This allows merging of TSO packet trains and even cross-TSO packets, and
does not require any additional action when moving data into existing
SKBs.

tcp: fix "old stuff" D-SACK causing SACK to be treated as D-SACK

When we receive a D-SACK, where the sequence number satisfies:
undo_marker <= start_seq < end_seq <= prior_snd_una
we consider this is a valid D-SACK and tcp_is_sackblock_valid()
returns true, then this D-SACK is discarded as "old stuff",
but the variable first_sack_index is not marked as negative
in tcp_sacktag_write_queue().

If this D-SACK also carries a SACK that needs to be processed
(for example, the previous SACK segment was lost), this SACK
will be treated as a D-SACK in the following processing of
tcp_sacktag_write_queue(), which will eventually lead to
incorrect updates of undo_retrans and reordering.

tcp: add TCP_INFO status for failed client TFO

The TCPI_OPT_SYN_DATA bit as part of tcpi_options currently reports whether
or not data-in-SYN was ack'd on both the client and server side. We'd like
to gather more information on the client-side in the failure case in order
to indicate the reason for the failure. This can be useful for not only
debugging TFO, but also for creating TFO socket policies. For example, if
a middle box removes the TFO option or drops a data-in-SYN, we can
can detect this case, and turn off TFO for these connections saving the
extra retransmits.

The newly added tcpi_fastopen_client_fail status is 2 bits and has the
following 4 states:

1) TFO_STATUS_UNSPEC

Catch-all state which includes when TFO is disabled via black hole
detection, which is indicated via LINUX_MIB_TCPFASTOPENBLACKHOLE.

2) TFO_COOKIE_UNAVAILABLE

If TFO_CLIENT_NO_COOKIE mode is off, this state indicates that no cookie
is available in the cache.

3) TFO_DATA_NOT_ACKED

Data was sent with SYN, we received a SYN/ACK but it did not cover the data
portion. Cookie is not accepted by server because the cookie may be invalid
or the server may be overloaded.

4) TFO_SYN_RETRANSMITTED

Data was sent with SYN, we received a SYN/ACK which did not cover the data
after at least 1 additional SYN was sent (without data). It may be the case
that a middle-box is dropping data-in-SYN packets. Thus, it would be more
efficient to not use TFO on this connection to avoid extra retransmits
during connection establishment.

These new fields do not cover all the cases where TFO may fail, but other
failures, such as SYN/ACK + data being dropped, will result in the
connection not becoming established. And a connection blackhole after
session establishment shows up as a stalled connection.

tcp: add rcu protection around tp->fastopen_rsk

Both tcp_v4_err() and tcp_v6_err() do the following operations
while they do not own the socket lock :

fastopen = tp->fastopen_rsk;
snd_una = fastopen ? tcp_rsk(fastopen)->snt_isn : tp->snd_una;

The problem is that without appropriate barrier, the compiler
might reload tp->fastopen_rsk and trigger a NULL deref.

request sockets are protected by RCU, we can simply add
the missing annotations and barriers to solve the issue.

tcp: Add TCP_INFO counter for packets received out-of-order

For receive-heavy cases on the server-side, we want to track the
connection quality for individual client IPs. This counter, similar to
the existing system-wide TCPOFOQueue counter in /proc/net/netstat,
tracks out-of-order packet reception. By providing this counter in
TCP_INFO, it will allow understanding to what degree receive-heavy
sockets are experiencing out-of-order delivery and packet drops
indicating congestion.

Please note that this is similar to the counter in NetBSD TCP_INFO, and
has the same name.

Also note that we avoid increasing the size of the tcp_sock struct by
taking advantage of a hole.

tcp: fix tcp_ecn_withdraw_cwr() to clear TCP_ECN_QUEUE_CWR

Fix tcp_ecn_withdraw_cwr() to clear the correct bit:
TCP_ECN_QUEUE_CWR.

Rationale: basically, TCP_ECN_DEMAND_CWR is a bit that is purely about
the behavior of data receivers, and deciding whether to reflect
incoming IP ECN CE marks as outgoing TCP th->ece marks. The
TCP_ECN_QUEUE_CWR bit is purely about the behavior of data senders,
and deciding whether to send CWR. The tcp_ecn_withdraw_cwr() function
is only called from tcp_undo_cwnd_reduction() by data senders during
an undo, so it should zero the sender-side state,
TCP_ECN_QUEUE_CWR. It does not make sense to stop the reflection of
incoming CE bits on incoming data packets just because outgoing
packets were spuriously retransmitted.

The bug has been reproduced with packetdrill to manifest in a scenario
with RFC3168 ECN, with an incoming data packet with CE bit set and
carrying a TCP timestamp value that causes cwnd undo. Before this fix,
the IP CE bit was ignored and not reflected in the TCP ECE header bit,
and sender sent a TCP CWR ('W') bit on the next outgoing data packet,
even though the cwnd reduction had been undone. After this fix, the
sender properly reflects the CE bit and does not set the W bit.

Note: the bug actually predates 2005 git history; this Fixes footer is
chosen to be the oldest SHA1 I have tested (from Sep 2007) for which
the patch applies cleanly (since before this commit the code was in a
.h file).

tcp: limit payload size of sacked skbs

Jonathan Looney reported that TCP can trigger the following crash
in tcp_shifted_skb() :

BUG_ON(tcp_skb_pcount(skb) < pcount);

This can happen if the remote peer has advertized the smallest
MSS that linux TCP accepts : 48

An skb can hold 17 fragments, and each fragment can hold 32KB
on x86, or 64KB on PowerPC.

This means that the 16bit witdh of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs
can overflow.

Note that tcp_sendmsg() builds skbs with less than 64KB
of payload, so this problem needs SACK to be enabled.
SACK blocks allow TCP to coalesce multiple skbs in the retransmit
queue, thus filling the 17 fragments to maximal capacity.

CVE-2019-11477 -- u16 overflow of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs

tcp: fix undo spurious SYNACK in passive Fast Open

Commit 794200d66273 ("tcp: undo cwnd on Fast Open spurious SYNACK
retransmit") may cause tcp_fastretrans_alert() to warn about pending
retransmission in Open state. This is triggered when the Fast Open
server both sends data and has spurious SYNACK retransmission during
the handshake, and the data packets were lost or reordered.

The root cause is a bit complicated:

(1) Upon receiving SYN-data: a full socket is created with
snd_una = ISN + 1 by tcp_create_openreq_child()

(2) On SYNACK timeout the server/sender enters CA_Loss state.

(3) Upon receiving the final ACK to complete the handshake, sender
does not mark FLAG_SND_UNA_ADVANCED since (1)

Sender then calls tcp_process_loss since state is CA_loss by (2)

(4) tcp_process_loss() does not invoke undo operations but instead
mark REXMIT_LOST to force retransmission

(5) tcp_rcv_synrecv_state_fastopen() calls tcp_try_undo_loss(). It
changes state to CA_Open but has positive tp->retrans_out

(6) Next ACK triggers the WARN_ON in tcp_fastretrans_alert()

The step that goes wrong is (4) where the undo operation should
have been invoked because the ACK successfully acknowledged the
SYN sequence. This fixes that by specifically checking undo
when the SYN-ACK sequence is acknowledged. Then after
tcp_process_loss() the state would be further adjusted based
in tcp_fastretrans_alert() to avoid triggering the warning in (6).

tcp: fix retrans timestamp on passive Fast Open

Commit c7d13c8faa74 ("tcp: properly track retry time on
passive Fast Open") sets the start of SYNACK retransmission
time on passive Fast Open in "retrans_stamp". However the
timestamp is not reset upon the handshake has completed. As a
result, future data packet retransmission may not update it in
tcp_retransmit_skb(). This may lead to socket aborting earlier
unexpectedly by retransmits_timed_out() since retrans_stamp remains
the SYNACK rtx time.

This bug only manifests on passive TFO sender that a) suffered
SYNACK timeout and then b) stalls on very first loss recovery. Any
successful loss recovery would reset the timestamp to avoid this
issue.

tcp: undo cwnd on Fast Open spurious SYNACK retransmit

This patch makes passive Fast Open reverts the cwnd to default
initial cwnd (10 packets) if the SYNACK timeout is spurious.

Passive Fast Open uses a full socket during handshake so it can
use the existing undo logic to detect spurious retransmission
by recording the first SYNACK timeout in key state variable
retrans_stamp. Upon receiving the ACK of the SYNACK, if the socket
has sent some data before the timeout, the spurious timeout
is detected by tcp_try_undo_recovery() in tcp_process_loss()
in tcp_ack().

But if the socket has not send any data yet, tcp_ack() does not
execute the undo code since no data is acknowledged. The fix is to
check such case explicitly after tcp_ack() during the ACK processing
in SYN_RECV state. In addition this is checked in FIN_WAIT_1 state
in case the server closes the socket before handshake completes.

tcp: undo init congestion window on false SYNACK timeout

Linux implements RFC6298 and use an initial congestion window
of 1 upon establishing the connection if the SYNACK packet is
retransmitted 2 or more times. In cellular networks SYNACK timeouts
are often spurious if the wireless radio was dormant or idle. Also
some network path is longer than the default SYNACK timeout. In
both cases falsely starting with a minimal cwnd are detrimental
to performance.

This patch avoids doing so when the final ACK's TCP timestamp
indicates the original SYNACK was delivered. It remembers the
original SYNACK timestamp when SYNACK timeout has occurred and
re-uses the function to detect spurious SYN timeout conveniently.

Note that a server may receives multiple SYNs from and immediately
retransmits SYNACKs without any SYNACK timeout. This often happens
on when the client SYNs have timed out due to wireless delay
above. In this case since the server will still use the default
initial congestion (e.g. 10) because tp->undo_marker is reset in
tcp_init_metrics(). This is an intentional design because packets
are not lost but delayed.

This patch only covers regular TCP passive open. Fast Open is
supported in the next patch.

if the wireless radio was dormant or idle. Also some network path

both cases are detrimental to TCP startup performance.

This patch extends TCP undo feature (RFC3522 aka TCP Eifel) to detect
spurious SYN timeout via TCP timestamps. Since tp->retrans_stamp
records the initial SYN timestamp instead of first retransmission, we
have to implement a different undo code additionally. The detection
also must happen before tcp_ack() as retrans_stamp is reset when
SYN is acknowledged.

tcp: avoid unconditional congestion window undo on SYN retransmit

Previously if an active TCP open has SYN timeout, it always undo the
cwnd upon receiving the SYNACK. This is because tcp_clean_rtx_queue
would reset tp->retrans_stamp when SYN is acked, which fools then
tcp_try_undo_loss and tcp_packet_delayed. Addressing this issue is
required to properly support undo for spurious SYN timeout.

Fixing this is tricky -- for active TCP open tp->retrans_stamp
records the time when the handshake starts, not the first
retransmission time as the name may suggest. The simplest fix is
for tcp_packet_delayed to ensure it is valid before comparing with
other timestamp.

One side effect of this change is active TCP Fast Open that incurred
SYN timeout. Upon receiving a SYN-ACK that only acknowledged
the SYN, it would immediately retransmit unacknowledged data in
tcp_ack() because the data is marked lost after SYN timeout. But
the retransmission would have an incorrect ack sequence number since
rcv_nxt has not been updated yet tcp_rcv_synsent_state_process(), the
retransmission needs to properly handed by tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()
like before.

tcp: tcp_grow_window() needs to respect tcp_space()

For some reason, tcp_grow_window() correctly tests if enough room

This is causing hard to debug issues, like failing
the (__tcp_select_window(sk) >= tp->rcv_wnd) test
in __tcp_ack_snd_check(), causing ACK delays and possibly
slow flows.

Depending on tcp_rmem[2], MTU, skb->len/skb->truesize ratio,
we can see the problem happening on "netperf -t TCP_RR -- -r 2000,2000"
after about 60 round trips, when the active side no longer sends
immediate acks.

tcp: Accept ECT on SYN in the presence of RFC8311

Linux currently disable ECN for incoming connections when the SYN
requests ECN and the IP header has ECT(0)/ECT(1) set, as some
networks were reportedly mangling the ToS byte, hence could later
trigger false congestion notifications.

RFC8311 §4.3 relaxes RFC3168's requirements such that ECT can be set
one TCP control packets (including SYNs). The main benefit of this
is the decreased probability of losing a SYN in a congested
ECN-capable network (i.e., it avoids the initial 1s timeout).
Additionally, this allows the development of newer TCP extensions,
such as AccECN.

This patch relaxes the previous check, by enabling ECN on incoming
connections using SYN+ECT if at least one bit of the reserved flags
of the TCP header is set. Such bit would indicate that the sender of
the SYN is using a newer TCP feature than what the host implements,
such as AccECN, and is thus implementing RFC8311. This enables
end-hosts not supporting such extensions to still negociate ECN, and
to have some of the benefits of using ECN on control packets.

tcp: free request sock directly upon TFO or syncookies error

Since the request socket is created locally, it'd make more sense to
use reqsk_free() instead of reqsk_put() in TFO and syncookies' error
path.

However, tcp_get_cookie_sock() may set ->rsk_refcnt before freeing the
socket; tcp_conn_request() may also have non-null ->rsk_refcnt because
of tcp_try_fastopen(). In both cases 'req' hasn't been exposed
to the outside world and is safe to free immediately, but that'd
trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE in reqsk_free().

Define __reqsk_free() for these situations where we know nobody's
referencing the socket, even though ->rsk_refcnt might be non-null.
Now we can consolidate the error path of tcp_get_cookie_sock() and

tcp: defer SACK compression after DupThresh

Jean-Louis reported a TCP regression and bisected to recent SACK
compression.

After a loss episode (receiver not able to keep up and dropping
packets because its backlog is full), linux TCP stack is sending
a single SACK (DUPACK).

Sender waits a full RTO timer before recovering losses.

While RFC 6675 says in section 5, "Algorithm Details",

(2) If DupAcks < DupThresh but IsLost (HighACK + 1) returns true --
indicating at least three segments have arrived above the current
cumulative acknowledgment point, which is taken to indicate loss
-- go to step (4).
...
(4) Invoke fast retransmit and enter loss recovery as follows:

there are old TCP stacks not implementing this strategy, and
still counting the dupacks before starting fast retransmit.

While these stacks probably perform poorly when receivers implement
LRO/GRO, we should be a little more gentle to them.

This patch makes sure we do not enable SACK compression unless
3 dupacks have been sent since last rcv_nxt update.

Ideally we should even rearm the timer to send one or two
more DUPACK if no more packets are coming, but that will
be work aiming for linux-4.21.

Many thanks to Jean-Louis for bisecting the issue, providing
packet captures and testing this patch.

tcp: add tcp_reset_xmit_timer() helper

With EDT model, SRTT no longer is inflated by pacing delays.

This means that RTO and some other xmit timers might be setup
incorrectly. This is particularly visible with either :

- Very small enforced pacing rates (SO_MAX_PACING_RATE)
- Reduced rto (from the default 200 ms)

This can lead to TCP flows aborts in the worst case,
or spurious retransmits in other cases.

For example, this session gets far more throughput
than the requested 80kbit :

tcp: start receiver buffer autotuning sooner

Previously receiver buffer auto-tuning starts after receiving
one advertised window amount of data. After the initial receiver
buffer was raised by patch a337531b942b ("tcp: up initial rmem to
128KB and SYN rwin to around 64KB"), the reciver buffer may take
too long to start raising. To address this issue, this patch lowers
the initial bytes expected to receive roughly the expected sender's
initial window.

tcp/dccp: fix lockdep issue when SYN is backlogged

In normal SYN processing, packets are handled without listener
lock and in RCU protected ingress path.

But syzkaller is known to be able to trick us and SYN
packets might be processed in process context, after being
queued into socket backlog.

In commit 06f877d613be ("tcp/dccp: fix other lockdep splats
accessing ireq_opt") I made a very stupid fix, that happened
to work mostly because of the regular path being RCU protected.

Really the thing protecting ireq->ireq_opt is RCU read lock,
and the pseudo request refcnt is not relevant.

This patch extends what I did in commit 449809a66c1d ("tcp/dccp:
block BH for SYN processing") by adding an extra rcu_read_{lock|unlock}
pair in the paths that might be taken when processing SYN from
socket backlog (thus possibly in process context)

tcp: up initial rmem to 128KB and SYN rwin to around 64KB

Previously TCP initial receive buffer is ~87KB by default and
the initial receive window is ~29KB (20 MSS). This patch changes
the two numbers to 128KB and ~64KB (rounding down to the multiples
of MSS) respectively. The patch also simplifies the calculations s.t.
the two numbers are directly controlled by sysctl tcp_rmem[1]:

1) Initial receiver buffer budget (sk_rcvbuf): while this should
be configured via sysctl tcp_rmem[1], previously tcp_fixup_rcvbuf()
always override and set a larger size when a new connection
establishes.

2) Initial receive window in SYN: previously it is set to 20
packets if MSS <= 1460. The number 20 was based on the initial
congestion window of 10: the receiver needs twice amount to
avoid being limited by the receive window upon out-of-order
delivery in the first window burst. But since this only
applies if the receiving MSS <= 1460, connection using large MTU
(e.g. to utilize receiver zero-copy) may be limited by the
receive window.

With this patch TCP memory configuration is more straight-forward and
more properly sized to modern high-speed networks by default. Several
popular stacks have been announcing 64KB rwin in SYNs as well.

tcp: change IPv6 flow-label upon receiving spurious retransmission

Currently a Linux IPv6 TCP sender will change the flow label upon
timeouts to potentially steer away from a data path that has gone
bad. However this does not help if the problem is on the ACK path
and the data path is healthy. In this case the receiver is likely
to receive repeated spurious retransmission because the sender
couldn't get the ACKs in time and has recurring timeouts.

This patch adds another feature to mitigate this problem. It
leverages the DSACK states in the receiver to change the flow
label of the ACKs to speculatively re-route the ACK packets.
In order to allow triggering on the second consecutive spurious
RTO, the receiver changes the flow label upon sending a second
consecutive DSACK for a sequence number below RCV.NXT.

tcp: avoid resetting ACK timer upon receiving packet with ECN CWR flag

Previously commit 9aee40006190 ("tcp: ack immediately when a cwr

tcp: always ACK immediately on hole repairs

RFC 5681 sec 4.2:
To provide feedback to senders recovering from losses, the receiver
SHOULD send an immediate ACK when it receives a data segment that
fills in all or part of a gap in the sequence space.

When a gap is partially filled, __tcp_ack_snd_check already checks
the out-of-order queue and correctly send an immediate ACK. However
when a gap is fully filled, the previous implementation only resets
pingpong mode which does not guarantee an immediate ACK because the
quick ACK counter may be zero. This patch addresses this issue by
marking the one-time immediate ACK flag instead.

tcp: ack immediately when a cwr packet arrives

We observed high 99 and 99.9% latencies when doing RPCs with DCTCP. The
problem is triggered when the last packet of a request arrives CE
marked. The reply will carry the ECE mark causing TCP to shrink its cwnd
to 1 (because there are no packets in flight). When the 1st packet of
the next request arrives, the ACK was sometimes delayed even though it
is CWR marked, adding up to 40ms to the RPC latency.

This patch insures that CWR marked data packets arriving will be acked
immediately.

In case an attacker feeds tiny packets completely out of order,
tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() might scan the whole rb-tree, performing

1) Do not attempt to collapse tiny skbs.
2) Add logic to exit early when too many tiny skbs are detected.

We prefer not doing aggressive collapsing (which copies packets)
for pathological flows, and revert to tcp_prune_ofo_queue() which
will be less expensive.

In the future, we might add the possibility of terminating flows
that are proven to be malicious.

every incoming packet. out_of_order_queue rb-tree can contain
thousands of nodes, iterating over all of them is not nice.

Before linux-4.9, we would have pruned all packets in ofo_queue
in one go, every XXXX packets. XXXX depends on sk_rcvbuf and skbs
truesize, but is about 7000 packets with tcp_rmem[2] default of 6 MB.

Since we plan to increase tcp_rmem[2] in the future to cope with
modern BDP, can not revert to the old behavior, without great pain.

Strategy taken in this patch is to purge ~12.5 % of the queue capacity.

tcp: use monotonic timestamps for PAWS

Using get_seconds() for timestamps is deprecated since it can lead
to overflows on 32-bit systems. While the interface generally doesn't
overflow until year 2106, the specific implementation of the TCP PAWS
algorithm breaks in 2038 when the intermediate signed 32-bit timestamps
overflow.

A related problem is that the local timestamps in CLOCK_REALTIME form
lead to unexpected behavior when settimeofday is called to set the system
clock backwards or forwards by more than 24 days.

While the first problem could be solved by using an overflow-safe method
of comparing the timestamps, a nicer solution is to use a monotonic
clocksource with ktime_get_seconds() that simply doesn't overflow (at
least not until 136 years after boot) and that doesn't change during
settimeofday().

To make 32-bit and 64-bit architectures behave the same way here, and
also save a few bytes in the tcp_options_received structure, I'm changing
the type to a 32-bit integer, which is now safe on all architectures.

Finally, the ts_recent_stamp field also (confusingly) gets used to store

net: Record receive queue number for a connection

This patch adds a new field to sock_common 'skc_rx_queue_mapping'
which holds the receive queue number for the connection. The Rx queue
is marked in tcp_finish_connect() to allow a client app to do
SO_INCOMING_NAPI_ID after a connect() call to get the right queue
association for a socket. Rx queue is also marked in tcp_conn_request()
to allow syn-ack to go on the right tx-queue associated with
the queue on which syn is received.

tcp: prevent bogus FRTO undos with non-SACK flows

If SACK is not enabled and the first cumulative ACK after the RTO
retransmission covers more than the retransmitted skb, a spurious
FRTO undo will trigger (assuming FRTO is enabled for that RTO).
The reason is that any non-retransmitted segment acknowledged will
set FLAG_ORIG_SACK_ACKED in tcp_clean_rtx_queue even if there is
no indication that it would have been delivered for real (the
scoreboard is not kept with TCPCB_SACKED_ACKED bits in the non-SACK
case so the check for that bit won't help like it does with SACK).
Having FLAG_ORIG_SACK_ACKED set results in the spurious FRTO undo
in tcp_process_loss.

We need to use more strict condition for non-SACK case and check
that none of the cumulatively ACKed segments were retransmitted
to prove that progress is due to original transmissions. Only then
keep FLAG_ORIG_SACK_ACKED set, allowing FRTO undo to proceed in
non-SACK case.

(FLAG_ORIG_SACK_ACKED is planned to be renamed to FLAG_ORIG_PROGRESS
to better indicate its purpose but to keep this change minimal, it
will be done in another patch).

Besides burstiness and congestion control violations, this problem
can result in RTO loop: When the loss recovery is prematurely
undoed, only new data will be transmitted (if available) and
the next retransmission can occur only after a new RTO which in case
of multiple losses (that are not for consecutive packets) requires
one RTO per loss to recover.

tcp: add new SNMP counter for drops when try to queue in rcv queue

When receiving multiple packets with the same ts ecr value, only try

This is because the rcv_rtt calculated by later received packets
could possibly include long idle time or other types of delay.
For example:
(1) server sends last packet of reply with TS val V1
(2) client ACKs last packet of reply with TS ecr V1
(3) long idle time passes
(4) client sends next request data packet with TS ecr V1 (again!)
At this time, the rcv_rtt computed on server with TS ecr V1 will be
inflated with the idle time and should get ignored.

tcp: add SACK compression

When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends
a SACK packet, generating network load but also forcing the
receiver to send 1-MSS pathological packets, increasing its
RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time.

Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally
speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks
are under congestion.

This patch adds a high resolution timer and tp->compressed_ack counter.

Instead of sending a SACK, we program this timer with a small delay,
based on RTT and capped to 1 ms :

delay = min ( 5 % of RTT, 1 ms)

If subsequent SACKs need to be sent while the timer has not yet
expired, we simply increment tp->compressed_ack.

When timer expires, a SACK is sent with the latest information.
Whenever an ACK is sent (if data is sent, or if in-order
data is received) timer is canceled.

Note that tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() is able to force a SACK to be sent
if the sack blocks need to be shuffled, even if the timer has not
expired.

A new SNMP counter is added in the following patch.

Two other patches add sysctls to allow changing the 1,000,000 and 44
values that this commit hard-coded.

tcp: don't mark recently sent packets lost on RTO

An RTO event indicates the head has not been acked for a long time
after its last (re)transmission. But the other packets are not
necessarily lost if they have been only sent recently (for example
due to application limit). This patch would prohibit marking packets
sent within an RTT to be lost on RTO event, using similar logic in
TCP RACK detection.

Normally the head (SND.UNA) would be marked lost since RTO should
fire strictly after the head was sent. An exception is when the
most recent RACK RTT measurement is larger than the (previous)
RTO. To address this exception the head is always marked lost.

Congestion control interaction: since we may not mark every packet
lost, the congestion window may be more than 1 (inflight plus 1).
But only one packet will be retransmitted after RTO, since
tcp_retransmit_timer() calls tcp_retransmit_skb(...,segs=1). The
connection still performs slow start from one packet (with Cubic
congestion control).

This commit was tested in an A/B test with Google web servers,
and showed a reduction of 2% in (spurious) retransmits post
timeout (SlowStartRetrans), and correspondingly reduced DSACKs
(DSACKIgnoredOld) by 7%.

tcp: separate loss marking and state update on RTO

Previously when TCP times out, it first updates cwnd and ssthresh,
marks packets lost, and then updates congestion state again. This
was fine because everything not yet delivered is marked lost,
so the inflight is always 0 and cwnd can be safely set to 1 to
retransmit one packet on timeout.

But the inflight may not always be 0 on timeout if TCP changes to
mark packets lost based on packet sent time. Therefore we must
first mark the packet lost, then set the cwnd based on the
(updated) inflight.

This is not a pure refactor. Congestion control may potentially
break if it uses (not yet updated) inflight to compute ssthresh.
Fortunately all existing congestion control modules does not do that.
Also it changes the inflight when CA_LOSS_EVENT is called, and only
westwood processes such an event but does not use inflight.

This change has two other minor side benefits:
1) consistent with Fast Recovery s.t. the inflight is updated
first before tcp_enter_recovery flips state to CA_Recovery.

2) avoid intertwining loss marking with state update, making the
code more readable.

tcp: account lost retransmit after timeout

The previous approach for the lost and retransmit bits was to
wipe the slate clean: zero all the lost and retransmit bits,
correspondingly zero the lost_out and retrans_out counters, and
then add back the lost bits (and correspondingly increment lost_out).

The new approach is to treat this very much like marking packets
lost in fast recovery. We don’t wipe the slate clean. We just say
that for all packets that were not yet marked sacked or lost, we now
mark them as lost in exactly the same way we do for fast recovery.

This fixes the lost retransmit accounting at RTO time and greatly
simplifies the RTO code by sharing much of the logic with Fast
Recovery.

net: introduce a new tracepoint for tcp_rcv_space_adjust

tcp_rcv_space_adjust is called every time data is copied to user space,
introducing a tcp tracepoint for which could show us when the packet is
copied to user.

When a tcp packet arrives, tcp_rcv_established() will be called and with
the existed tracepoint tcp_probe we could get the time when this packet
arrives.
Then this packet will be copied to user, and tcp_rcv_space_adjust will
be called and with this new introduced tracepoint we could get the time
when this packet is copied to user.
With these two tracepoints, we could figure out whether the user program
processes this packet immediately or there's latency.

Hence in the printk message, sk_cookie is printed as a key to relate
tcp_rcv_space_adjust with tcp_probe.

Maybe we could export sockfd in this new tracepoint as well, then we
could relate this new tracepoint with epoll/read/recv* tracepoints, and
finally that could show us the whole lifespan of this packet. But we
could also implement that with pid as these functions are executed in

tcp: don't read out-of-bounds opsize

The old code reads the "opsize" variable from out-of-bounds memory (first
byte behind the segment) if a broken TCP segment ends directly after an
opcode that is neither EOL nor NOP.

The result of the read isn't used for anything, so the worst thing that
could theoretically happen is a pagefault; and since the physmap is usually
mostly contiguous, even that seems pretty unlikely.

The following C reproducer triggers the uninitialized read - however, you
can't actually see anything happen unless you put something like a
pr_warn() in tcp_parse_md5sig_option() to print the opsize.

tcp: export packets delivery info

Export data delivered and delivered with CE marks to
1) SNMP TCPDelivered and TCPDeliveredCE
2) getsockopt(TCP_INFO)
3) Timestamping API SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS

Note that for SCM_TSTAMP_ACK, the delivery info in
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS is reported before the info
was fully updated on the ACK.

These stats help application monitor TCP delivery and ECN status
on per host, per connection, even per message level.

tcp: track total bytes delivered with ECN CE marks

Introduce a new delivered_ce stat in tcp socket to estimate
number of packets being marked with CE bits. The estimation is
done via ACKs with ECE bit. Depending on the actual receiver
behavior, the estimation could have biases.

Since the TCP sender can't really see the CE bit in the data path,
so the sender is technically counting packets marked delivered with
the "ECE / ECN-Echo" flag set.

With RFC3168 ECN, because the ECE bit is sticky, this count can
drastically overestimate the nummber of CE-marked data packets

With DCTCP-style ECN this should be reasonably precise unless there
is loss in the ACK path, in which case it's not precise.

With AccECN proposal this can be made still more precise, even in
the case some degree of ACK loss.

However this is sender's best estimate of CE information.

tcp: better delivery accounting for SYN-ACK and SYN-data

the tcp_sock:delivered has inconsistent accounting for SYN and FIN.
1. it counts pure FIN
2. it counts pure SYN
3. it counts SYN-data twice
4. it does not count SYN-ACK

For congestion control perspective it does not matter much as C.C. only
cares about the difference not the aboslute value. But the next patch
would export this field to user-space so it's better to report the absolute
value w/o these caveats.

This patch counts SYN, SYN-ACK, or SYN-data delivery once always in

tcp: avoid extra wakeups for SO_RCVLOWAT users

SO_RCVLOWAT is properly handled in tcp_poll(), so that POLLIN is only

tcp: try to keep packet if SYN_RCV race is lost

배석진 reported that in some situations, packets for a given 5-tuple
end up being processed by different CPUS.

This involves RPS, and fragmentation.

배석진 is seeing packet drops when a SYN_RECV request socket is
moved into ESTABLISH state. Other states are protected by socket lock.

This is caused by a CPU losing the race, and simply not caring enough.

Since this seems to occur frequently, we can do better and perform
a second lookup.

Note that all needed memory barriers are already in the existing code,
thanks to the spin_lock()/spin_unlock() pair in inet_ehash_insert()
and reqsk_put(). The second lookup must find the new socket,
unless it has already been accepted and closed by another cpu.

Note that the fragmentation could be avoided in the first place by
use of a correct TCP MSS option in the SYN{ACK} packet, but this
does not mean we can not be more robust.

Many thanks to 배석진 for a very detailed analysis.

A persistent connection may send tiny amount of data (e.g. health-check)
for a long period of time. BBR's windowed min RTT filter may only see
RTT samples from delayed ACKs causing BBR to grossly over-estimate
the path delay depending how much the ACK was delayed at the receiver.

This patch skips RTT samples that are likely coming from delayed ACKs. Note
that it is possible the sender never obtains a valid measure to set the
min RTT. In this case BBR will continue to set cwnd to initial window
which seems fine because the connection is thin stream.

tcp: smoother receiver autotuning

Back in linux-3.13 (commit b0983d3c9b13 ("tcp: fix dynamic right sizing"))
I addressed the pressing issues we had with receiver autotuning.

But DRS suffers from extra latencies caused by rcv_rtt_est.rtt_us
drifts. One common problem happens during slow start, since the
apparent RTT measured by the receiver can be inflated by ~50%,
at the end of one packet train.

Also, a single drop can delay read() calls by one RTT, meaning
tcp_rcv_space_adjust() can be called one RTT too late.

By replacing the tri-modal heuristic with a continuous function,
we can offset the effects of not growing 'at the optimal time'.

The curve of the function matches prior behavior if the space
increased by 25% and 50% exactly.

Cost of added multiply/divide is small, considering a TCP flow
typically would run this part of the code few times in its life.

I tested this patch with 100 ms RTT / 1% loss link, 100 runs
of (netperf -l 5), and got an average throughput of 4600 Mbit
instead of 1700 Mbit.

tcp: when scheduling TLP, time of RTO should account for current ACK

Fix the TLP scheduling logic so that when scheduling a TLP probe, we
ensure that the estimated time at which an RTO would fire accounts for
the fact that ACKs indicating forward progress should push back RTO
times.

After the following fix:

df92c8394e6e ("tcp: fix xmit timer to only be reset if data ACKed/SACKed")

we had an unintentional behavior change in the following kind of
scenario: suppose the RTT variance has been very low recently. Then
suppose we send out a flight of N packets and our RTT is 100ms:

t=0: send a flight of N packets
t=100ms: receive an ACK for N-1 packets

The response before df92c8394e6e that was:
-> schedule a TLP for now + RTO_interval

The response after df92c8394e6e is:
-> schedule a TLP for t=0 + RTO_interval

Since RTO_interval = srtt + RTT_variance, this means that we have
scheduled a TLP timer at a point in the future that only accounts for
RTT_variance. If the RTT_variance term is small, this means that the
timer fires soon.

Before df92c8394e6e this would not happen, because in that code, when
we receive an ACK for a prefix of flight, we did:

1) Near the top of tcp_ack(), switch from TLP timer to RTO
at write_queue_head->paket_tx_time + RTO_interval:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_LOSS_PROBE)
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

2) In tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), update the RTO to now + RTO_interval:
if (flag & FLAG_ACKED) {
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

3) In tcp_ack() after tcp_fastretrans_alert() switch from RTO
to TLP at now + RTO_interval:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_RETRANS)
tcp_schedule_loss_probe(sk);

In df92c8394e6e we removed that 3-phase dance, and instead directly
set the TLP timer once: we set the TLP timer in cases like this to
write_queue_head->packet_tx_time + RTO_interval. So if the RTT
variance is small, then this means that this is setting the TLP timer
to fire quite soon. This means if the ACK for the tail of the flight
takes longer than an RTT to arrive (often due to delayed ACKs), then
the TLP timer fires too quickly.

KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow). KASan is already upstream.

We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).

The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.

Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.

tcp: highest_sack fix

syzbot easily found a regression added in our latest patches [1]

No longer set tp->highest_sack to the head of the send queue since
this is not logical and error prone.

Only sack processing should maintain the pointer to an skb from rtx queue.

We might in the future only remember the sequence instead of a pointer to skb,
since rb-tree should allow a fast lookup.

tcp: use sequence distance to detect reordering

Replace the reordering distance measurement in packet unit with
sequence based approach. Previously it trackes the number of "packets"
toward the forward ACK (i.e. highest sacked sequence)in a state
variable "fackets_out".

Precisely measuring reordering degree on packet distance has not much
benefit, as the degree constantly changes by factors like path, load,
and congestion window. It is also complicated and prone to arcane bugs.
This patch replaces with sequence-based approach that's much simpler.

tcp: fix tcp_fastretrans_alert warning

This patch fixes the cause of an WARNING indicatng TCP has pending
retransmission in Open state in tcp_fastretrans_alert().

The root cause is a bad interaction between path mtu probing,
if enabled, and the RACK loss detection. Upong receiving a SACK
above the sequence of the MTU probing packet, RACK could mark the
probe packet lost in tcp_fastretrans_alert(), prior to calling
tcp_simple_retransmit().

tcp_simple_retransmit() only enters Loss state if it newly marks
the probe packet lost. If the probe packet is already identified as
lost by RACK, the sender remains in Open state with some packets
marked lost and retransmitted. Then the next SACK would trigger
the warning. The likely scenario is that the probe packet was
lost due to its size or network congestion. The actual impact of
this warning is small by potentially entering fast recovery an
ACK later.

The simple fix is always entering recovery (Loss) state if some
packet is marked lost during path MTU probing.

tcp: fix DSACK-based undo on non-duplicate ACK

Fixes DSACK-based undo when sender is in Open State and
an ACK advances snd_una.

Example scenario:
- Sender goes into recovery and makes some spurious rtx.
- It comes out of recovery and enters into open state.
- It sends some more packets, let's say 4.
- The receiver sends an ACK for the first two, but this ACK is lost.
- The sender receives ack for first two, and DSACK for previous
spurious rtx.

tcp: higher throughput under reordering with adaptive RACK reordering wnd

Currently TCP RACK loss detection does not work well if packets are
being reordered beyond its static reordering window (min_rtt/4).Under
such reordering it may falsely trigger loss recoveries and reduce TCP
throughput significantly.

This patch improves that by increasing and reducing the reordering
window based on DSACK, which is now supported in major TCP implementations.
It makes RACK's reo_wnd adaptive based on DSACK and no. of recoveries.

- If DSACK is received, increment reo_wnd by min_rtt/4 (upper bounded
by srtt), since there is possibility that spurious retransmission was
due to reordering delay longer than reo_wnd.

- Persist the current reo_wnd value for TCP_RACK_RECOVERY_THRESH (16)
no. of successful recoveries (accounts for full DSACK-based loss
recovery undo). After that, reset it to default (min_rtt/4).

- At max, reo_wnd is incremented only once per rtt. So that the new
DSACK on which we are reacting, is due to the spurious retx (approx)
after the reo_wnd has been updated last time.

- reo_wnd is tracked in terms of steps (of min_rtt/4), rather than
absolute value to account for change in rtt.

In our internal testing, we observed significant increase in throughput,
in scenarios where reordering exceeds min_rtt/4 (previous static value).

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

tcp: TCP experimental option for SMC

The SMC protocol [1] relies on the use of a new TCP experimental
option [2, 3]. With this option, SMC capabilities are exchanged
between peers during the TCP three way handshake. This patch adds
support for this experimental option to TCP.

locking/atomics, net/ipv4/tcp_input.c: Convert ACCESS_ONCE() to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.

However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and
writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This
distinction is critical to correct operation.

It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle
script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references
to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory
step, this patch converts the IPv4 TCP input code and comments to use
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently.

tcp: Configure TFO without cookie per socket and/or per route

We already allow to enable TFO without a cookie by using the
fastopen-sysctl and setting it to TFO_SERVER_COOKIE_NOT_REQD (or
TFO_CLIENT_NO_COOKIE).
This is safe to do in certain environments where we know that there
isn't a malicous host (aka., data-centers) or when the
application-protocol already provides an authentication mechanism in the
first flight of data.

A server however might be providing multiple services or talking to both
sides (public Internet and data-center). So, this server would want to
enable cookie-less TFO for certain services and/or for connections that
go to the data-center.

This patch exposes a socket-option and a per-route attribute to enable such
fine-grained configurations.

tcp: implement rb-tree based retransmit queue

Using a linear list to store all skbs in write queue has been okay
for quite a while : O(N) is not too bad when N < 500.

Things get messy when N is the order of 100,000 : Modern TCP stacks
want 10Gbit+ of throughput even with 200 ms RTT flows.

40 ns per cache line miss means a full scan can use 4 ms,
blowing away CPU caches.

SACK processing often can use various hints to avoid parsing
whole retransmit queue. But with high packet losses and/or high
reordering, hints no longer work.

Sender has to process thousands of unfriendly SACK, accumulating
a huge socket backlog, burning a cpu and massively dropping packets.

Using an rb-tree for retransmit queue has been avoided for years
because it added complexity and overhead, but now is the time
to be more resistant and say no to quadratic behavior.

1) RTX queue is no longer part of the write queue : already sent skbs
are stored in one rb-tree.

2) Since reaching the head of write queue no longer needs
sk->sk_send_head, we added an union of sk_send_head and tcp_rtx_queue

Tested:

On receiver :
netem on ingress : delay 150ms 200us loss 1
GRO disabled to force stress and SACK storms.

tcp: new list for sent but unacked skbs for RACK recovery

This patch adds a new queue (list) that tracks the sent but not yet
acked or SACKed skbs for a TCP connection. The list is chronologically
ordered by skb->skb_mstamp (the head is the oldest sent skb).

This list will be used to optimize TCP Rack recovery, which checks
an skb's timestamp to judge if it has been lost and needs to be
retransmitted. Since TCP write queue is ordered by sequence instead
of sent time, RACK has to scan over the write queue to catch all
eligible packets to detect lost retransmission, and iterates through
SACKed skbs repeatedly.

Special cares for rare events:
1. TCP repair fakes skb transmission so the send queue needs adjusted
2. SACK reneging would require re-inserting SACKed skbs into the
send queue. For now I believe it's not worth the complexity to
make RACK work perfectly on SACK reneging, so we do nothing here.
3. Fast Open: currently for non-TFO, send-queue correctly queues
the pure SYN packet. For TFO which queues a pure SYN and
then a data packet, send-queue only queues the data packet but
not the pure SYN due to the structure of TFO code. This is okay
because the SYN receiver would never respond with a SACK on a
missing SYN (i.e. SYN is never fast-retransmitted by SACK/RACK).

In order to not grow sk_buff, we use an union for the new list and
_skb_refdst/destructor fields. This is a bit complicated because
we need to make sure _skb_refdst and destructor are properly zeroed
before skb is cloned/copied at transmit, and before being freed.

tcp: uniform the set up of sockets after successful connection

Currently in the TCP code, the initialization sequence for cached
metrics, congestion control, BPF, etc, after successful connection
is very inconsistent. This introduces inconsistent bevhavior and is
prone to bugs. The current call sequence is as follows:

(1) for active case (tcp_finish_connect() case):
tcp_mtup_init(sk);
icsk->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(sk);
tcp_init_metrics(sk);
tcp_call_bpf(sk, BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);
tcp_init_congestion_control(sk);
tcp_init_buffer_space(sk);

(2) for passive case (tcp_rcv_state_process() TCP_SYN_RECV case):
icsk->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(sk);
tcp_call_bpf(sk, BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);
tcp_init_congestion_control(sk);
tcp_mtup_init(sk);
tcp_init_buffer_space(sk);
tcp_init_metrics(sk);

(3) for TFO passive case (tcp_fastopen_create_child()):
inet_csk(child)->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(child);
tcp_init_congestion_control(child);
tcp_mtup_init(child);
tcp_init_metrics(child);
tcp_call_bpf(child, BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);

This commit uniforms the above functions to have the following sequence:
tcp_mtup_init(sk);
icsk->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(sk);
tcp_init_metrics(sk);
tcp_call_bpf(sk, BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE/PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);
tcp_init_congestion_control(sk);
tcp_init_buffer_space(sk);
This sequence is the same as the (1) active case. We pick this sequence
because this order correctly allows BPF to override the settings
including congestion control module and initial cwnd, etc from
the route, and then allows the CC module to see those settings.

net: sk_buff rbnode reorg

skb->rbnode shares space with skb->next, skb->prev and skb->tstamp

Current uses (TCP receive ofo queue and netem) need to save/restore
tstamp, while skb->dev is either NULL (TCP) or a constant for a given
queue (netem).

Since we plan using an RB tree for TCP retransmit queue to speedup SACK
processing with large BDP, this patch exchanges skb->dev and
skb->tstamp.

This saves some overhead in both TCP and netem.

tcp: Revert "tcp: remove header prediction"

This reverts commit 45f119bf936b1f9f546a0b139c5b56f9bb2bdc78.

Eric Dumazet says:
We found at Google a significant regression caused by
45f119bf936b1f9f546a0b139c5b56f9bb2bdc78 tcp: remove header prediction

In typical RPC (TCP_RR), when a TCP socket receives data, we now call
tcp_ack() while we used to not call it.

This touches enough cache lines to cause a slowdown.

so problem does not seem to be HP removal itself but the tcp_ack()
call. Therefore, it might be possible to remove HP after all, provided
one finds a way to elide tcp_ack for most cases.

neigh: increase queue_len_bytes to match wmem_default

Florian reported UDP xmit drops that could be root caused to the
too small neigh limit.

Current limit is 64 KB, meaning that even a single UDP socket would hit
it, since its default sk_sndbuf comes from net.core.wmem_default
(~212992 bytes on 64bit arches).

Once ARP/ND resolution is in progress, we should allow a little more
packets to be queued, at least for one producer.

Once neigh arp_queue is filled, a rogue socket should hit its sk_sndbuf
limit and either block in sendmsg() or return -EAGAIN.

tcp: when rearming RTO, if RTO time is in past then fire RTO ASAP

In some situations tcp_send_loss_probe() can realize that it's unable
to send a loss probe (TLP), and falls back to calling tcp_rearm_rto()
to schedule an RTO timer. In such cases, sometimes tcp_rearm_rto()
realizes that the RTO was eligible to fire immediately or at some
point in the past (delta_us <= 0). Previously in such cases
tcp_rearm_rto() was scheduling such "overdue" RTOs to happen at now +
icsk_rto, which caused needless delays of hundreds of milliseconds
(and non-linear behavior that made reproducible testing
difficult). This commit changes the logic to schedule "overdue" RTOs
ASAP, rather than at now + icsk_rto.

# df92c839 03-Aug-2017 Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com>

tcp: fix xmit timer to only be reset if data ACKed/SACKed

Fix a TCP loss recovery performance bug raised recently on the netdev
list, in two threads:

(i) July 26, 2017: netdev thread "TCP fast retransmit issues"
(ii) July 26, 2017: netdev thread:
"[PATCH V2 net-next] TLP: Don't reschedule PTO when there's one
outstanding TLP retransmission"

The basic problem is that incoming TCP packets that did not indicate
forward progress could cause the xmit timer (TLP or RTO) to be rearmed
and pushed back in time. In certain corner cases this could result in
the following problems noted in these threads:

- Repeated ACKs coming in with bogus SACKs corrupted by middleboxes
could cause TCP to repeatedly schedule TLPs forever. We kept
sending TLPs after every ~200ms, which elicited bogus SACKs, which
caused more TLPs, ad infinitum; we never fired an RTO to fill in
the holes.

- Incoming data segments could, in some cases, cause us to reschedule
our RTO or TLP timer further out in time, for no good reason. This
could cause repeated inbound data to result in stalls in outbound
data, in the presence of packet loss.

This commit fixes these bugs by changing the TLP and RTO ACK
processing to:

(a) Only reschedule the xmit timer once per ACK.

(b) Only reschedule the xmit timer if tcp_clean_rtx_queue() deems the
ACK indicates sufficient forward progress (a packet was
cumulatively ACKed, or we got a SACK for a packet that was sent
before the most recent retransmit of the write queue head).

This brings us back into closer compliance with the RFCs, since, as
the comment for tcp_rearm_rto() notes, we should only restart the RTO
timer after forward progress on the connection. Previously we were
restarting the xmit timer even in these cases where there was no
forward progress.

As a side benefit, this commit simplifies and speeds up the TCP timer
arming logic. We had been calling inet_csk_reset_xmit_timer() three
times on normal ACKs that cumulatively acknowledged some data:

1) Once near the top of tcp_ack() to switch from TLP timer to RTO:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_LOSS_PROBE)
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

2) Once in tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), to update the RTO:
if (flag & FLAG_ACKED) {
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

3) Once in tcp_ack() after tcp_fastretrans_alert() to switch from RTO
to TLP:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_RETRANS)
tcp_schedule_loss_probe(sk);

This commit, by only rescheduling the xmit timer once per ACK,
simplifies the code and reduces CPU overhead.

This commit was tested in an A/B test with Google web server
traffic. SNMP stats and request latency metrics were within noise
levels, substantiating that for normal web traffic patterns this is a
rare issue. This commit was also tested with packetdrill tests to
verify that it fixes the timer behavior in the corner cases discussed
in the netdev threads mentioned above.

This patch is a bug fix patch intended to be queued for -stable
relases.

the ssthresh value calculated by the previous congestion control. If
the previous congestion control is BBR that always keep ssthresh

step is to avoid assigning invalid ssthresh value when recovery ends.

tcp: remove prequeue support

prequeue is a tcp receive optimization that moves part of rx processing
from bh to process context.

This only works if the socket being processed belongs to a process that
is blocked in recv on that socket.

In practice, this doesn't happen anymore that often because nowadays
servers tend to use an event driven (epoll) model.

Even normal client applications (web browsers) commonly use many tcp
connections in parallel.

This has measureable impact only in netperf (which uses plain recv and
thus allows prequeue use) from host to locally running vm (~4%), however,
there were no changes when using netperf between two physical hosts with
ixgbe interfaces.

tcp: use TS opt on RTTs for congestion control

Currently when a data packet is retransmitted, we do not compute an
RTT sample for congestion control due to Kern's check. Therefore the
congestion control that uses RTT signals may not receive any update
during loss recovery which could last many round trips. For example,
BBR and Vegas may not be able to update its min RTT estimation if the
network path has shortened until it recovers from losses. This patch
mitigates that by using TCP timestamp options for RTT measurement
for congestion control. Note that we already use timestamps for
RTT estimation.

tcp: better validation of received ack sequences

Paul Fiterau Brostean reported :

<quote>
Linux TCP stack we analyze exhibits behavior that seems odd to me.
The scenario is as follows (all packets have empty payloads, no window
scaling, rcv/snd window size should not be a factor):

TEST HARNESS (CLIENT) LINUX SERVER

1. - LISTEN (server listen,
then accepts)

2. - --> <SEQ=100><CTL=SYN> --> SYN-RECEIVED

3. - <-- <SEQ=300><ACK=101><CTL=SYN,ACK> <-- SYN-RECEIVED

4. - --> <SEQ=101><ACK=301><CTL=ACK> --> ESTABLISHED

5. - <-- <SEQ=301><ACK=101><CTL=FIN,ACK> <-- FIN WAIT-1 (server
opts to close the data connection calling "close" on the connection
socket)

6. - --> <SEQ=101><ACK=99999><CTL=FIN,ACK> --> CLOSING (client sends
FIN,ACK with not yet sent acknowledgement number)

7. - <-- <SEQ=302><ACK=102><CTL=ACK> <-- CLOSING (ACK is 102
instead of 101, why?)

... (silence from CLIENT)

8. - <-- <SEQ=301><ACK=102><CTL=FIN,ACK> <-- CLOSING
(retransmission, again ACK is 102)

Now, note that packet 6 while having the expected sequence number,
acknowledges something that wasn't sent by the server. So I would
expect
the packet to maybe prompt an ACK response from the server, and then be
ignored. Yet it is not ignored and actually leads to an increase of the
acknowledgement number in the server's retransmission of the FIN,ACK
packet. The explanation I found is that the FIN in packet 6 was
processed, despite the acknowledgement number being unacceptable.
Further experiments indeed show that the server processes this FIN,
transitioning to CLOSING, then on receiving an ACK for the FIN it had
send in packet 5, the server (or better said connection) transitions
from CLOSING to TIME_WAIT (as signaled by netstat).

</quote>

Indeed, tcp_rcv_state_process() calls tcp_ack() but
does not exploit the @acceptable status but for TCP_SYN_RECV
state.

What we want here is to send a challenge ACK, if not in TCP_SYN_RECV
state. TCP_FIN_WAIT1 state is not the only state we should fix.

Add a FLAG_NO_CHALLENGE_ACK so that tcp_rcv_state_process()
can choose to send a challenge ACK and discard the packet instead
of wrongly change socket state.

tcp: switch TCP TS option (RFC 7323) to 1ms clock

TCP Timestamps option is defined in RFC 7323

Traditionally on linux, it has been tied to the internal
'jiffies' variable, because it had been a cheap and good enough
generator.

For TCP flows on the Internet, 1 ms resolution would be much better
than 4ms or 10ms (HZ=250 or HZ=100 respectively)

For TCP flows in the DC, Google has used usec resolution for more
than two years with great success [1]

Receive size autotuning (DRS) is indeed more precise and converges
faster to optimal window size.

This patch converts tp->tcp_mstamp to a plain u64 value storing
a 1 usec TCP clock.

This choice will allow us to upstream the 1 usec TS option as
discussed in IETF 97.

tcp: eliminate negative reordering in tcp_clean_rtx_queue

tcp_ack() can call tcp_fragment() which may dededuct the
value tp->fackets_out when MSS changes. When prior_fackets
is larger than tp->fackets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue() can
invoke tcp_update_reordering() with negative values. This
results in absurd tp->reodering values higher than
sysctl_tcp_max_reordering.

Note that tcp_update_reordering indeeds sets tp->reordering
to min(sysctl_tcp_max_reordering, metric), but because
the comparison is signed, a negative metric always wins.

tcp: avoid fragmenting peculiar skbs in SACK

This patch fixes a bug in splitting an SKB during SACK
processing. Specifically if an skb contains multiple
packets and is only partially sacked in the higher sequences,
tcp_match_sack_to_skb() splits the skb and marks the second fragment
as SACKed.

The current code further attempts rounding up the first fragment
to MSS boundaries. But it misses a boundary condition when the
rounded-up fragment size (pkt_len) is exactly skb size. Spliting
such an skb is pointless and causses a kernel warning and aborts
the SACK processing. This patch universally checks such over-split
before calling tcp_fragment to prevent these unnecessary warnings.

tcp: randomize timestamps on syncookies

Whole point of randomization was to hide server uptime, but an attacker
can simply start a syn flood and TCP generates 'old style' timestamps,
directly revealing server jiffies value.

Also, TSval sent by the server to a particular remote address vary
depending on syncookies being sent or not, potentially triggering PAWS
drops for innocent clients.

Lets implement proper randomization, including for SYNcookies.

Also we do not need to export sysctl_tcp_timestamps, since it is not
used from a module.

In v2, I added Florian feedback and contribution, adding tsoff to
tcp_get_cookie_sock().

v3 removed one unused variable in tcp_v4_connect() as Florian spotted.

tcp: switch rcv_rtt_est and rcvq_space to high resolution timestamps

Some devices or distributions use HZ=100 or HZ=250

TCP receive buffer autotuning has poor behavior caused by this choice.
Since autotuning happens after 4 ms or 10 ms, short distance flows
get their receive buffer tuned to a very high value, but after an initial
period where it was frozen to (too small) initial value.

With tp->tcp_mstamp introduction, we can switch to high resolution
timestamps almost for free (at the expense of 8 additional bytes per
TCP structure)

Note that some TCP stacks use usec TCP timestamps where this
patch makes even more sense : Many TCP flows have < 500 usec RTT.
Hopefully this finer TS option can be standardized soon.

Tested:
HZ=100 kernel
./netperf -H lpaa24 -t TCP_RR -l 1000 -- -r 10000,10000 &

Peer without patch :

net/tcp_fastopen: Disable active side TFO in certain scenarios

Middlebox firewall issues can potentially cause server's data being
blackholed after a successful 3WHS using TFO. Following are the related
reports from Apple:
https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/Paasch_Network_Support.pdf
Slide 31 identifies an issue where the client ACK to the server's data
sent during a TFO'd handshake is dropped.
C ---> syn-data ---> S
C <--- syn/ack ----- S
C (accept & write)
C <---- data ------- S
C ----- ACK -> X S
[retry and timeout]

https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/94/slides/slides-94-tcpm-13.pdf
Slide 5 shows a similar situation that the server's data gets dropped
after 3WHS.
C ---- syn-data ---> S
C <--- syn/ack ----- S
C ---- ack --------> S
S (accept & write)
C? X <- data ------ S
[retry and timeout]

This is the worst failure b/c the client can not detect such behavior to
mitigate the situation (such as disabling TFO). Failing to proceed, the
application (e.g., SSL library) may simply timeout and retry with TFO
again, and the process repeats indefinitely.

The proposed solution is to disable active TFO globally under the
following circumstances:
1. client side TFO socket detects out of order FIN
2. client side TFO socket receives out of order RST

We disable active side TFO globally for 1hr at first. Then if it
happens again, we disable it for 2h, then 4h, 8h, ...
And we reset the timeout to 1hr if a client side TFO sockets not opened
on loopback has successfully received data segs from server.
And we examine this condition during close().

The rational behind it is that when such firewall issue happens,
application running on the client should eventually close the socket as
it is not able to get the data it is expecting. Or application running
on the server should close the socket as it is not able to receive any
response from client.
In both cases, out of order FIN or RST will get received on the client
given that the firewall will not block them as no data are in those
frames.
And we want to disable active TFO globally as it helps if the middle box
is very close to the client and most of the connections are likely to
fail.

Also, add a debug sysctl:
tcp_fastopen_blackhole_detect_timeout_sec:
the initial timeout to use when firewall blackhole issue happens.
This can be set and read.
When setting it to 0, it means to disable the active disable logic.

tcp: remove poll() flakes with FastOpen

When using TCP FastOpen for an active session, we send one wakeup event
from tcp_finish_connect(), right before the data eventually contained in
the received SYNACK is queued to sk->sk_receive_queue.

This means that depending on machine load or luck, poll() users
might receive POLLOUT events instead of POLLIN|POLLOUT

To fix this, we need to move the call to sk->sk_state_change()
after the (optional) call to tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()

tcp: remove poll() flakes when receiving RST

When a RST packet is processed, we send two wakeup events to interested
polling users.

First one by a sk->sk_error_report(sk) from tcp_reset(),
followed by a sk->sk_state_change(sk) from tcp_done().

Depending on machine load and luck, poll() can either return POLLERR,
or POLLIN|POLLOUT|POLLERR|POLLHUP (this happens on 99 % of the cases)

This is probably fine, but we can avoid the confusion by reordering
things so that we have more TCP fields updated before the first wakeup.

This might even allow us to remove some barriers we added in the past.

tcp: restrict F-RTO to work-around broken middle-boxes

The recent extension of F-RTO 89fe18e44 ("tcp: extend F-RTO
to catch more spurious timeouts") interacts badly with certain
broken middle-boxes. These broken boxes modify and falsely raise
the receive window on the ACKs. During a timeout induced recovery,
F-RTO would send new data packets to probe if the timeout is false
or not. Since the receive window is falsely raised, the receiver
would silently drop these F-RTO packets. The recovery would take N
(exponentially backoff) timeouts to repair N packet losses. A TCP
performance killer.

Due to this unfortunate situation, this patch removes this extension
to revert F-RTO back to the RFC specification.

tcp: fix reordering SNMP under-counting

Currently the reordering SNMP counters only increase if a connection
sees a higher degree then it has previously seen. It ignores if the
reordering degree is not greater than the default system threshold.
This significantly under-counts the number of reordering events
and falsely convey that reordering is rare on the network.

This patch properly and faithfully records the number of reordering
events detected by the TCP stack, just like the comment says "this
exciting event is worth to be remembered". Note that even so TCP
still under-estimate the actual reordering events because TCP
requires TS options or certain packet sequences to detect reordering
(i.e. ACKing never-retransmitted sequence in recovery or disordered
state).

tcp: minimize false-positives on TCP/GRO check

Markus Trippelsdorf reported that after commit dcb17d22e1c2 ("tcp: warn
on bogus MSS and try to amend it") the kernel started logging the
warning for a NIC driver that doesn't even support GRO.

It was diagnosed that it was possibly caused on connections that were
using TCP Timestamps but some packets lacked the Timestamps option. As
we reduce rcv_mss when timestamps are used, the lack of them would cause
the packets to be bigger than expected, although this is a valid case.

As this warning is more as a hint, getting a clean-cut on the
threshold is probably not worth the execution time spent on it. This
patch thus alleviates the false-positives with 2 quick checks: by
accounting for the entire TCP option space and also checking against the
interface MTU if it's available.

These changes, specially the MTU one, might mask some real positives,
though if they are really happening, it's possible that sooner or later
it will be triggered anyway.

When I got rid of BH blocking while processing socket backlog

from a state that allowed (SYN) packets to be parked in the socket
backlog while socket is owned by the thread doing the listen() call.

tcp: reduce skb overhead in selected places

tcp_add_backlog() can use skb_condense() helper to get better
gains and less SKB_TRUESIZE() magic. This only happens when socket
backlog has to be used.

Some attacks involve specially crafted out of order tiny TCP packets,
clogging the ofo queue of (many) sockets.
Then later, expensive collapse happens, trying to copy all these skbs
into single ones.
This unfortunately does not work if each skb has no neighbor in TCP
sequence order.

By using skb_condense() if the skb could not be coalesced to a prior
one, we defeat these kind of threats, potentially saving 4K per skb
(or more, since this is one page fragment).

A typical NAPI driver allocates gro packets with GRO_MAX_HEAD bytes
in skb->head, meaning the copy done by skb_condense() is limited to
about 200 bytes.

tcp: accept RST for rcv_nxt - 1 after receiving a FIN

Using a Mac OSX box as a client connecting to a Linux server, we have found
that when certain applications (such as 'ab'), are abruptly terminated
(via ^C), a FIN is sent followed by a RST packet on tcp connections. The
FIN is accepted by the Linux stack but the RST is sent with the same
sequence number as the FIN, and Linux responds with a challenge ACK per
RFC 5961. The OSX client then sometimes (they are rate-limited) does not
reply with any RST as would be expected on a closed socket.

This results in sockets accumulating on the Linux server left mostly in
the CLOSE_WAIT state, although LAST_ACK and CLOSING are also possible.
This sequence of events can tie up a lot of resources on the Linux server
since there may be a lot of data in write buffers at the time of the RST.
Accepting a RST equal to rcv_nxt - 1, after we have already successfully
processed a FIN, has made a significant difference for us in practice, by
freeing up unneeded resources in a more expedient fashion.

A packetdrill test demonstrating the behavior:

// testing mac osx rst behavior

// Establish a connection
0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
0.000 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0

tcp: disable fack by default

This patch disables FACK by default as RACK is the successor of FACK
(inspired by the insights behind FACK).

FACK[1] in Linux works as follows: a packet P is deemed lost,
if packet Q of higher sequence is s/acked and P and Q are distant
by at least dupthresh number of packets in sequence space.

FACK is more aggressive than the IETF recommened recovery for SACK
(RFC3517 A Conservative Selective Acknowledgment (SACK)-based Loss
Recovery Algorithm for TCP), because a single SACK may trigger
fast recovery. This obviously won't work well with reordering so
FACK is dynamically disabled upon detecting reordering.

RACK supersedes FACK by using time distance instead of sequence
distance. On reordering, RACK waits for a quarter of RTT receiving
a single SACK before starting recovery. (the timer can be made more
adaptive in the future by measuring reordering distance in time,
but currently RTT/4 seem to work well.) Once the recovery starts,
RACK behaves almost like FACK because it reduces the reodering
window to 1ms, so it fast retransmits quickly. In addition RACK
can detect loss retransmission as it does not care about the packet
sequences (being repeated or not), which is extremely useful when
the connection is going through a traffic policer.

Google server experiments indicate that disabling FACK after enabling
RACK has negligible impact on the overall loss recovery performance
with more reordering events detected. But we still keep the FACK
implementation for backup if RACK has bugs that needs to be disabled.

tcp: remove thin_dupack feature

Thin stream DUPACK is to start fast recovery on only one DUPACK
provided the connection is a thin stream (i.e., low inflight). But
this older feature is now subsumed with RACK. If a connection
receives only a single DUPACK, RACK would arm a reordering timer
and soon starts fast recovery instead of timeout if no further
ACKs are received.

The socket option (THIN_DUPACK) is kept as a nop for compatibility.
Note that this patch does not change another thin-stream feature
which enables linear RTO. Although it might be good to generalize
that in the future (i.e., linear RTO for the first say 3 retries).

tcp: remove RFC4653 NCR

This patch removes the (partial) implementation of the aggressive
limited transmit in RFC4653 TCP Non-Congestion Robustness (NCR).

NCR is a mitigation to the problem created by the dynamic
DUPACK threshold. With the current adaptive DUPACK threshold
(tp->reordering) could cause timeouts by preventing fast recovery.
For example, if the last packet of a cwnd burst was reordered, the
threshold will be set to the size of cwnd. But if next application
burst is smaller than threshold and has drops instead of reorderings,
the sender would not trigger fast recovery but instead resorts to a
timeout recovery.

NCR mitigates this issue by checking the number of DUPACKs against
the current flight size additionally. The techniqueue is similar to
the early retransmit RFC.

With RACK loss detection, this mitigation is not needed, because RACK
does not use DUPACK threshold to detect losses. RACK arms a reordering
timer to fire at most a quarter RTT later to start fast recovery.

tcp: remove forward retransmit feature

Forward retransmit is an esoteric feature in RFC3517 (condition(3)
in the NextSeg()). Basically if a packet is not considered lost by
the current criteria (# of dupacks etc), but the congestion window
has room for more packets, then retransmit this packet.

However it actually conflicts with the rest of recovery design. For
example, when reordering is detected we want to be conservative
in retransmitting packets but forward-retransmit feature would
break that to force more retransmission. Also the implementation is
fairly complicated inside the retransmission logic inducing extra
iterations in the write queue. With RACK losses are being detected
timely and this heuristic is no longer necessary. There this patch
removes the feature.

tcp: extend F-RTO to catch more spurious timeouts

Current F-RTO reverts cwnd reset whenever a never-retransmitted
packet was (s)acked. The timeout can be declared spurious because
the packets acknoledged with this ACK was transmitted before the
timeout, so clearly not all the packets are lost to reset the cwnd.

This nice detection does not really depend F-RTO internals. This

tcp: check undo conditions before detecting losses

Currently RACK would mark loss before the undo operations in TCP
loss recovery. This could incorrectly identify real losses as
spurious. For example a sender first experiences a delay spike and
then eventually some packets were lost due to buffer overrun.
In this case, the sender should perform fast recovery b/c not all
the packets were lost.

But the sender may first trigger a (spurious) RTO and reset
cwnd to 1. The following ACKs may used to mark real losses by
tcp_rack_mark_lost. Then in tcp_process_loss this ACK could trigger
F-RTO undo condition and unmark real losses and revert the cwnd
reduction. If there are no more ACKs coming back, eventually the
sender would timeout again instead of performing fast recovery.

The patch fixes this incorrect process by always performing
the undo checks before detecting losses.

tcp: use sequence to break TS ties for RACK loss detection

The packets inside a jumbo skb (e.g., TSO) share the same skb
timestamp, even though they are sent sequentially on the wire. Since
RACK is based on time, it can not detect some packets inside the
same skb are lost. However, we can leverage the packet sequence
numbers as extended timestamps to detect losses. Therefore, when
RACK timestamp is identical to skb's timestamp (i.e., one of the
packets of the skb is acked or sacked), we use the sequence numbers
of the acked and unacked packets to break ties.

We can use the same sequence logic to advance RACK xmit time as
well to detect more losses and avoid timeout.

tcp: add reordering timer in RACK loss detection

This patch makes RACK install a reordering timer when it suspects
some packets might be lost, but wants to delay the decision
a little bit to accomodate reordering.

It does not create a new timer but instead repurposes the existing
RTO timer, because both are meant to retransmit packets.
Specifically it arms a timer ICSK_TIME_REO_TIMEOUT when
the RACK timing check fails. The wait time is set to

RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd - (NOW - Packet.xmit_time) + fudge

This translates to expecting a packet (Packet) should take
(RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd + fudge) to deliver after it was sent.

When there are multiple packets that need a timer, we use one timer
with the maximum timeout. Therefore the timer conservatively uses
the maximum window to expire N packets by one timeout, instead of
N timeouts to expire N packets sent at different times.

The fudge factor is 2 jiffies to ensure when the timer fires, all
the suspected packets would exceed the deadline and be marked lost
by tcp_rack_detect_loss(). It has to be at least 1 jiffy because the
clock may tick between calling icsk_reset_xmit_timer(timeout) and
actually hang the timer. The next jiffy is to lower-bound the timeout
to 2 jiffies when reo_wnd is < 1ms.

When the reordering timer fires (tcp_rack_reo_timeout): If we aren't
in Recovery we'll enter fast recovery and force fast retransmit.
This is very similar to the early retransmit (RFC5827) except RACK
is not constrained to only enter recovery for small outstanding
flights.

tcp: record most recent RTT in RACK loss detection

Record the most recent RTT in RACK. It is often identical to the
"ca_rtt_us" values in tcp_clean_rtx_queue. But when the packet has
been retransmitted, RACK choses to believe the ACK is for the
(latest) retransmitted packet if the RTT is over minimum RTT.

This requires passing the arrival time of the most recent ACK to
RACK routines. The timestamp is now recorded in the "ack_time"
in tcp_sacktag_state during the ACK processing.

This patch does not change the RACK algorithm itself. It only adds
the RTT variable to prepare the next main patch.

tcp: warn on bogus MSS and try to amend it

There have been some reports lately about TCP connection stalls caused
by NIC drivers that aren't setting gso_size on aggregated packets on rx
path. This causes TCP to assume that the MSS is actually the size of the
aggregated packet, which is invalid.

Although the proper fix is to be done at each driver, it's often hard
and cumbersome for one to debug, come to such root cause and report/fix
it.

This patch amends this situation in two ways. First, it adds a warning
on when this situation occurs, so it gives a hint to those trying to
debug this. It also limit the maximum probed MSS to the adverised MSS,
as it should never be any higher than that.

The result is that the connection may not have the best performance ever
but it shouldn't stall, and the admin will have a hint on what to look
for.

Tested with virtio by forcing gso_size to 0.

v2: updated msg per David's suggestion
v3: use skb_iif to find the interface and also log its name, per Eric
Dumazet's suggestion. As the skb may be backlogged and the interface
gone by then, we need to check if the number still has a meaning.
v4: use helper tcp_gro_dev_warn() and avoid pr_warn_once inside __once, per
David's suggestion

tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connection

jiffies based timestamps allow for easy inference of number of devices
behind NAT translators and also makes tracking of hosts simpler.

commit ceaa1fef65a7c2e ("tcp: adding a per-socket timestamp offset")
added the main infrastructure that is needed for per-connection ts
randomization, in particular writing/reading the on-wire tcp header
format takes the offset into account so rest of stack can use normal
tcp_time_stamp (jiffies).

So only two items are left:
- add a tsoffset for request sockets
- extend the tcp isn generator to also return another 32bit number
in addition to the ISN.

Re-use of ISN generator also means timestamps are still monotonically
increasing for same connection quadruple, i.e. PAWS will still work.

tcp: instrument how long TCP is limited by insufficient send buffer

This patch measures the amount of time when TCP runs out of new data
to send to the network due to insufficient send buffer, while TCP
is still busy delivering (i.e. write queue is not empty). The goal
is to indicate either the send buffer autotuning or user SO_SNDBUF
setting has resulted network under-utilization.

The measurement starts conservatively by checking various conditions
to minimize false claims (i.e. under-estimation is more likely).
The measurement stops when the SOCK_NOSPACE flag is cleared. But it
does not account the time elapsed till the next application write.
Also the measurement only starts if the sender is still busy sending
data, s.t. the limit accounted is part of the total busy time.

Note the busy time does not include SYN time, unless data is

We had various problems in the past in tcp_get_info() and used

Being able to lock the socket allows to provide consistent set

This behavior is fooling TCP clients that believe they established a

netfilter: xt_socket: fix transparent match for IPv6 request sockets

The introduction of TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV state, and the addition of request
sockets to the ehash table seems to have broken the --transparent option
of the socket match for IPv6 (around commit a9407000).

Now that the socket lookup finds the TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV socket instead of the
listener, the --transparent option tries to match on the no_srccheck flag
of the request socket.

Unfortunately, that flag was only set for IPv4 sockets in tcp_v4_init_req()
by copying the transparent flag of the listener socket. This effectively
causes '-m socket --transparent' not match on the ACK packet sent by the
client in a TCP handshake.

Based on the suggestion from Eric Dumazet, this change moves the code
initializing no_srccheck to tcp_conn_request(), rendering the above
scenario working again.

tcp: new CC hook to set sending rate with rate_sample in any CA state

This commit introduces an optional new "omnipotent" hook,
cong_control(), for congestion control modules. The cong_control()
function is called at the end of processing an ACK (i.e., after
updating sequence numbers, the SACK scoreboard, and loss
detection). At that moment we have precise delivery rate information
the congestion control module can use to control the sending behavior
(using cwnd, TSO skb size, and pacing rate) in any CA state.

This function can also be used by a congestion control that prefers
not to use the default cwnd reduction approach (i.e., the PRR
algorithm) during CA_Recovery to control the cwnd and sending rate
during loss recovery.

We take advantage of the fact that recent changes defer the
retransmission or transmission of new data (e.g. by F-RTO) in recovery
until the new tcp_cong_control() function is run.

With this commit, we only run tcp_update_pacing_rate() if the
congestion control is not using this new API. New congestion controls
which use the new API do not want the TCP stack to run the default
pacing rate calculation and overwrite whatever pacing rate they have
chosen at initialization time.

tcp: allow congestion control to expand send buffer differently

Currently the TCP send buffer expands to twice cwnd, in order to allow
limited transmits in the CA_Recovery state. This assumes that cwnd
does not increase in the CA_Recovery.

For some congestion control algorithms, like the upcoming BBR module,
if the losses in recovery do not indicate congestion then we may
continue to raise cwnd multiplicatively in recovery. In such cases the
current multiplier will falsely limit the sending rate, much as if it
were limited by the application.

This commit adds an optional congestion control callback to use a
different multiplier to expand the TCP send buffer. For congestion
control modules that do not specificy this callback, TCP continues to
use the previous default of 2.

tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connection

This patch generates data delivery rate (throughput) samples on a
per-ACK basis. These rate samples can be used by congestion control
modules, and specifically will be used by TCP BBR in later patches in
this series.

Key state:

tp->delivered: Tracks the total number of data packets (original or not)
delivered so far. This is an already-existing field.

tp->delivered_mstamp: the last time tp->delivered was updated.

Algorithm:

A rate sample is calculated as (d1 - d0)/(t1 - t0) on a per-ACK basis:

d1: the current tp->delivered after processing the ACK
t1: the current time after processing the ACK

d0: the prior tp->delivered when the acked skb was transmitted
t0: the prior tp->delivered_mstamp when the acked skb was transmitted

When an skb is transmitted, we snapshot d0 and t0 in its control
block in tcp_rate_skb_sent().

When an ACK arrives, it may SACK and ACK some skbs. For each SACKed
or ACKed skb, tcp_rate_skb_delivered() updates the rate_sample struct
to reflect the latest (d0, t0).

Finally, tcp_rate_gen() generates a rate sample by storing
(d1 - d0) in rs->delivered and (t1 - t0) in rs->interval_us.

One caveat: if an skb was sent with no packets in flight, then
tp->delivered_mstamp may be either invalid (if the connection is
starting) or outdated (if the connection was idle). In that case,
we'll re-stamp tp->delivered_mstamp.

At first glance it seems t0 should always be the time when an skb was
transmitted, but actually this could over-estimate the rate due to
phase mismatch between transmit and ACK events. To track the delivery
rate, we ensure that if packets are in flight then t0 and and t1 are
times at which packets were marked delivered.

If the initial and final RTTs are different then one may be corrupted
by some sort of noise. The noise we see most often is sending gaps
caused by delayed, compressed, or stretched acks. This either affects
both RTTs equally or artificially reduces the final RTT. We approach
this by recording the info we need to compute the initial RTT
(duration of the "send phase" of the window) when we recorded the
associated inflight. Then, for a filter to avoid bandwidth
overestimates, we generalize the per-sample bandwidth computation
from:

bw = delivered / ack_phase_rtt

to the following:

bw = delivered / max(send_phase_rtt, ack_phase_rtt)

In large-scale experiments, this filtering approach incorporating
send_phase_rtt is effective at avoiding bandwidth overestimates due to
ACK compression or stretched ACKs.

tcp: count packets marked lost for a TCP connection

Count the number of packets that a TCP connection marks lost.

Congestion control modules can use this loss rate information for more
intelligent decisions about how fast to send.

Specifically, this is used in TCP BBR policer detection. BBR uses a
high packet loss rate as one signal in its policer detection and
policer bandwidth estimation algorithm.

The BBR policer detection algorithm cannot simply track retransmits,
because a retransmit can be (and often is) an indicator of packets
lost long, long ago. This is particularly true in a long CA_Loss
period that repairs the initial massive losses when a policer kicks
in.

To fix this, we simply can re-use the code that runs after an insertion,

Example:

We receive segments 2001:3001, 4001:5001

Then we receive 2001:8001 : We should replace 2001:3001 with the big

tcp: use an RB tree for ooo receive queue

Over the years, TCP BDP has increased by several orders of magnitude,
and some people are considering to reach the 2 Gbytes limit.

Even with current window scale limit of 14, ~1 Gbytes maps to ~740,000
MSS.

In presence of packet losses (or reorders), TCP stores incoming packets
into an out of order queue, and number of skbs sitting there waiting for
the missing packets to be received can be in the 10^5 range.

Most packets are appended to the tail of this queue, and when
packets can finally be transferred to receive queue, we scan the queue
from its head.

However, in presence of heavy losses, we might have to find an arbitrary
point in this queue, involving a linear scan for every incoming packet,
throwing away cpu caches.

This patch converts it to a RB tree, to get bounded latencies.

Yaogong wrote a preliminary patch about 2 years ago.
Eric did the rebase, added ofo_last_skb cache, polishing and tests.

Tested with network dropping between 1 and 10 % packets, with good
success (about 30 % increase of throughput in stress tests)

Next step would be to also use an RB tree for the write queue at sender
side ;)

tcp: refine tcp_prune_ofo_queue() to not drop all packets

Over the years, TCP BDP has increased a lot, and is typically
in the order of ~10 Mbytes with help of clever Congestion Control
modules.

In presence of packet losses, TCP stores incoming packets into an out of
order queue, and number of skbs sitting there waiting for the missing
packets to be received can match the BDP (~10 Mbytes)

In some cases, TCP needs to make room for incoming skbs, and current
strategy can simply remove all skbs in the out of order queue as a last
resort, incurring a huge penalty, both for receiver and sender.

Unfortunately these 'last resort events' are quite frequent, forcing
sender to send all packets again, stalling the flow and wasting a lot of
resources.

This patch cleans only a part of the out of order queue in order
to meet the memory constraints.

tcp: enable per-socket rate limiting of all 'challenge acks'

The per-socket rate limit for 'challenge acks' was introduced in the
context of limiting ack loops:

commit f2b2c582e824 ("tcp: mitigate ACK loops for connections as tcp_sock")

And I think it can be extended to rate limit all 'challenge acks' on a
per-socket basis.

Since we have the global tcp_challenge_ack_limit, this patch allows for
tcp_challenge_ack_limit to be set to a large value and effectively rely on
the per-socket limit, or set tcp_challenge_ack_limit to a lower value and
still prevents a single connections from consuming the entire challenge ack
quota.

It further moves in the direction of eliminating the global limit at some
point, as Eric Dumazet has suggested. This a follow-up to:

tcp: make challenge acks less predictable

Yue Cao claims that current host rate limiting of challenge ACKS
(RFC 5961) could leak enough information to allow a patient attacker
to hijack TCP sessions. He will soon provide details in an academic
paper.

This patch increases the default limit from 100 to 1000, and adds
some randomization so that the attacker can no longer hijack
sessions without spending a considerable amount of probes.

Based on initial analysis and patch from Linus.

Note that we also have per socket rate limiting, so it is tempting
to remove the host limit in the future.

tcp: accept RST if SEQ matches right edge of right-most SACK block

RFC 5961 advises to only accept RST packets containing a seq number
matching the next expected seq number instead of the whole receive
window in order to avoid spoofing attacks.

However, this situation is not optimal in the case SACK is in use at the
time the RST is sent. I recently run into a scenario in which packet
losses were high while uploading data to a server, and userspace was
willing to frequently terminate connections by sending a RST. In
this case, the ACK sent on the receiver side (rcv_nxt) is frozen waiting
for a lost packet retransmission and SACK blocks are used to let the
client continue uploading data. At some point later on, the client sends
the RST (snd_nxt), which matches the next expected seq number of the
right-most SACK block on the receiver side which is going forward
receiving data.

In this scenario, as RFC 5961 defines, the RST SEQ doesn't match the
frozen main ACK at receiver side and thus gets dropped and a challenge
ACK is sent, which gets usually lost due to network conditions. The main
consequence is that the connection stays alive for a while even if it
made sense to accept the RST. This can get really bad if lots of
connections like this one are created in few seconds, allocating all the
resources of the server easily.

For security reasons, not all SACK blocks are checked (there could be a
big amount of SACK blocks => acceptable SEQ numbers). Furthermore, it
wouldn't make sense to check for RST in blocks other than the right-most
received one because the sender is not expected to be sending new data
after the RST. For simplicity, only up to the 4 most recently updated
SACK blocks (selective_acks[4] field) are compared to find the
right-most block, as usually those are the ones with bigger probability
to contain it.

This patch was tested in a 3.18 kernel and probed to improve the
situation in the scenario described above.

tcp: fix lockdep splat in tcp_snd_una_update()

tcp_snd_una_update() and tcp_rcv_nxt_update() call
u64_stats_update_begin() either from process context or BH handler.

This triggers a lockdep splat on 32bit & SMP builds.

We could add u64_stats_update_begin_bh() variant but this would
slow down 32bit builds with useless local_disable_bh() and
local_enable_bh() pairs, since we own the socket lock at this point.

I add sock_owned_by_me() helper to have proper lockdep support
even on 64bit builds, and new u64_stats_update_begin_raw()

tcp: remove SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP since it is redundant

The SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set in skb_shinfo->tx_flags when
the timestamp of the TCP acknowledgement should be reported on
error queue. Since accessing skb_shinfo is likely to incur a
cache-line miss at the time of receiving the ack, the
txstamp_ack bit was added in tcp_skb_cb, which is set iff
the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set for an skb. This makes
SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag redundant.

Remove the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP and instead use the txstamp_ack bit
everywhere.

Note that this frees one bit in shinfo->tx_flags.

tcp-tso: do not split TSO packets at retransmit time

Linux TCP stack painfully segments all TSO/GSO packets before retransmits.

This was fine back in the days when TSO/GSO were emerging, with their
bugs, but we believe the dark age is over.

Keeping big packets in write queues, but also in stack traversal
has a lot of benefits.
- Less memory overhead, because write queues have less skbs
- Less cpu overhead at ACK processing.
- Better SACK processing, as lot of studies mentioned how
awful linux was at this ;)
- Less cpu overhead to send the rtx packets
(IP stack traversal, netfilter traversal, drivers...)
- Better latencies in presence of losses.
- Smaller spikes in fq like packet schedulers, as retransmits
are not constrained by TCP Small Queues.

1 % packet losses are common today, and at 100Gbit speeds, this
translates to ~80,000 losses per second.
Losses are often correlated, and we see many retransmit events
leading to 1-MSS train of packets, at the time hosts are already
under stress.

tcp: Fix SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK when handling dup acks

Assuming SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK is on. When dup acks are received,
it could incorrectly think that a skb has already
been acked and queue a SCM_TSTAMP_ACK cmsg to the
sk->sk_error_queue.

In tcp_ack_tstamp(), it checks
'between(shinfo->tskey, prior_snd_una, tcp_sk(sk)->snd_una - 1)'.
If prior_snd_una == tcp_sk(sk)->snd_una like the following packetdrill
script, between() returns true but the tskey is actually not acked.
e.g. try between(3, 2, 1).

The fix is to replace between() with one before() and one !before().
By doing this, the -1 offset on the tcp_sk(sk)->snd_una can also be
removed.

A packetdrill script is used to reproduce the dup ack scenario.
Due to the lacking cmsg support in packetdrill (may be I
cannot find it), a BPF prog is used to kprobe to
sock_queue_err_skb() and print out the value of
serr->ee.ee_data.

Both the packetdrill and the bcc BPF script is attached at the end of
this commit message.

tcp: use one bit in TCP_SKB_CB to mark ACK timestamps

Currently, to avoid a cache line miss for accessing skb_shinfo,
tcp_ack_tstamp skips socket that do not have
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK bit set in sk_tsflags. This is
implemented based on an implicit assumption that the
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK is set via socket options for the
duration that ACK timestamps are needed.

To implement per-write timestamps, this check should be
removed and replaced with a per-packet alternative that
quickly skips packets missing ACK timestamps marks without
a cache-line miss.

To enable per-packet marking without a cache line miss, use
one bit in TCP_SKB_CB to mark a whether a SKB might need a
ack tx timestamp or not. Further checks in tcp_ack_tstamp are not
modified and work as before.

tcp: remove cwnd moderation after recovery

For non-SACK connections, cwnd is lowered to inflight plus 3 packets
when the recovery ends. This is an optional feature in the NewReno
RFC 2582 to reduce the potential burst when cwnd is "re-opened"
after recovery and inflight is low.

This feature is questionably effective because of PRR: when
the recovery ends (i.e., snd_una == high_seq) NewReno holds the
CA_Recovery state for another round trip to prevent false fast
retransmits. But if the inflight is low, PRR will overwrite the
moderated cwnd in tcp_cwnd_reduction() later regardlessly. So if a
receiver responds bogus ACKs (i.e., acking future data) to speed up
transfer after recovery, it can only induce a burst up to a window
worth of data packets by acking up to SND.NXT. A restart from (short)
idle or receiving streched ACKs can both cause such bursts as well.

On the other hand, if the recovery ends because the sender
detects the losses were spurious (e.g., reordering). This feature
unconditionally lowers a reverted cwnd even though nothing
was lost.

By principle loss recovery module should not update cwnd. Further
pacing is much more effective to reduce burst. Hence this patch
removes the cwnd moderation feature.

tcp: new delivery accounting

This patch changes the accounting of how many packets are
newly acked or sacked when the sender receives an ACK.

The current approach basically computes

newly_acked_sacked = (prior_packets - prior_sacked) -
(tp->packets_out - tp->sacked_out)

where prior_packets and prior_sacked out are snapshot
at the beginning of the ACK processing.

The new approach tracks the delivery information via a new
TCP state variable "delivered" which monotically increases
as new packets are delivered in order or out-of-order.

The reason for this change is that the current approach is
brittle that produces negative or inaccurate estimate.

1) For non-SACK connections, an ACK that advances the SND.UNA
could reset the DUPACK counters (tp->sacked_out) in
tcp_process_loss() or tcp_fastretrans_alert(). This inflates
the inflight suddenly and causes under-estimate or even
negative estimate. Here is a real example:

before after (processing ACK)
packets_out 75 73
sacked_out 23 0
ca state Loss Open

The old approach computes (75-23) - (73 - 0) = -21 delivered
while the new approach computes 1 delivered since it
considers the 2nd-24th packets are delivered OOO.

2) MSS change would re-count packets_out and sacked_out so
the estimate is in-accurate and can even become negative.
E.g., the inflight is doubled when MSS is halved.

3) Spurious retransmission signaled by DSACK is not accounted

The new approach is simpler and more robust. For SACK connections,
tp->delivered increments as packets are being acked or sacked in
SACK and ACK processing.

For non-sack connections, it's done in tcp_remove_reno_sacks() and
tcp_add_reno_sack(). When an ACK advances the SND.UNA, tp->delivered
is incremented by the number of packets ACKed (less the current
number of DUPACKs received plus one packet hole). Upon receiving
a DUPACK, tp->delivered is incremented assuming one out-of-order
packet is delivered.

Upon receiving a DSACK, tp->delivered is incremtened assuming one
retransmission is delivered in tcp_sacktag_write_queue().

tcp: fix tcp_mark_head_lost to check skb len before fragmenting

This commit fixes a corner case in tcp_mark_head_lost() which was
causing the WARN_ON(len > skb->len) in tcp_fragment() to fire.

tcp_mark_head_lost() was assuming that if a packet has
tcp_skb_pcount(skb) of N, then it's safe to fragment off a prefix of
M*mss bytes, for any M < N. But with the tricky way TCP pcounts are
maintained, this is not always true.

For example, suppose the sender sends 4 1-byte packets and have the
last 3 packet sacked. It will merge the last 3 packets in the write
queue into an skb with pcount = 3 and len = 3 bytes. If another
recovery happens after a sack reneging event, tcp_mark_head_lost()
may attempt to split the skb assuming it has more than 2*MSS bytes.

This sounds very counterintuitive, but as the commit description for
the related commit c0638c247f55 ("tcp: don't fragment SACKed skbs in
tcp_mark_head_lost()") notes, this is because tcp_shifted_skb()
coalesces adjacent regions of SACKed skbs, and when doing this it
preserves the sum of their packet counts in order to reflect the
real-world dynamics on the wire. The c0638c247f55 commit tried to
avoid problems by not fragmenting SACKed skbs, since SACKed skbs are
where the non-proportionality between pcount and skb->len/mss is known
to be possible. However, that commit did not handle the case where
during a reneging event one of these weird SACKed skbs becomes an
un-SACKed skb, which tcp_mark_head_lost() can then try to fragment.

The fix is to simply mark the entire skb lost when this happens.
This makes the recovery slightly more aggressive in such corner
cases before we detect reordering. But once we detect reordering
this code path is by-passed because FACK is disabled.

tcp: fix zero cwnd in tcp_cwnd_reduction

Patch 3759824da87b ("tcp: PRR uses CRB mode by default and SS mode
conditionally") introduced a bug that cwnd may become 0 when both
inflight and sndcnt are 0 (cwnd = inflight + sndcnt). This may lead
to a div-by-zero if the connection starts another cwnd reduction
phase by setting tp->prior_cwnd to the current cwnd (0) in
tcp_init_cwnd_reduction().

To prevent this we skip PRR operation when nothing is acked or
sacked. Then cwnd must be positive in all cases as long as ssthresh
is positive:

1) The proportional reduction mode
inflight > ssthresh > 0

2) The reduction bound mode
a) inflight == ssthresh > 0

b) inflight < ssthresh
sndcnt > 0 since newly_acked_sacked > 0 and inflight < ssthresh

Therefore in all cases inflight and sndcnt can not both be 0.
We check invalid tp->prior_cwnd to avoid potential div0 bugs.

In reality this bug is triggered only with a sequence of less common
events. For example, the connection is terminating an ECN-triggered
cwnd reduction with an inflight 0, then it receives reordered/old
ACKs or DSACKs from prior transmission (which acks nothing). Or the
connection is in fast recovery stage that marks everything lost,
but fails to retransmit due to local issues, then receives data
packets from other end which acks nothing.

net: Allow accepted sockets to be bound to l3mdev domain

Allow accepted sockets to derive their sk_bound_dev_if setting from the

to control the behavior which is similar to sk_mark and
sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept.

This effectively allow a process to have a "VRF-global" listen socket,
with child sockets bound to the VRF device in which the packet originated.
A similar behavior can be achieved using sk_mark, but a solution using marks
is incomplete as it does not handle duplicate addresses in different L3
domains/VRFs. Allowing sockets to inherit the sk_bound_dev_if from l3mdev

tcp: use RACK to detect losses

This patch implements the second half of RACK that uses the the most
recent transmit time among all delivered packets to detect losses.

tcp_rack_mark_lost() is called upon receiving a dubious ACK.
It then checks if an not-yet-sacked packet was sent at least
"reo_wnd" prior to the sent time of the most recently delivered.
If so the packet is deemed lost.

The "reo_wnd" reordering window starts with 1msec for fast loss
detection and changes to min-RTT/4 when reordering is observed.
We found 1msec accommodates well on tiny degree of reordering
(<3 pkts) on faster links. We use min-RTT instead of SRTT because
reordering is more of a path property but SRTT can be inflated by
self-inflicated congestion. The factor of 4 is borrowed from the
delayed early retransmit and seems to work reasonably well.

Since RACK is still experimental, it is now used as a supplemental
loss detection on top of existing algorithms. It is only effective
after the fast recovery starts or after the timeout occurs. The
fast recovery is still triggered by FACK and/or dupack threshold
instead of RACK.

We introduce a new sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_recovery for future
experiments of loss recoveries. For now RACK can be disabled by
setting it to 0.

tcp: track the packet timings in RACK

This patch is the first half of the RACK loss recovery.

RACK loss recovery uses the notion of time instead
of packet sequence (FACK) or counts (dupthresh). It's inspired by the
previous FACK heuristic in tcp_mark_lost_retrans(): when a limited
transmit (new data packet) is sacked, then current retransmitted
sequence below the newly sacked sequence must been lost,
since at least one round trip time has elapsed.

But it has several limitations:
1) can't detect tail drops since it depends on limited transmit
2) is disabled upon reordering (assumes no reordering)
3) only enabled in fast recovery ut not timeout recovery

RACK (Recently ACK) addresses these limitations with the notion
of time instead: a packet P1 is lost if a later packet P2 is s/acked,
as at least one round trip has passed.

Since RACK cares about the time sequence instead of the data sequence
of packets, it can detect tail drops when later retransmission is
s/acked while FACK or dupthresh can't. For reordering RACK uses a
dynamically adjusted reordering window ("reo_wnd") to reduce false
positives on ever (small) degree of reordering.

This patch implements tcp_advanced_rack() which tracks the
most recent transmission time among the packets that have been
delivered (ACKed or SACKed) in tp->rack.mstamp. This timestamp
is the key to determine which packet has been lost.

Consider an example that the sender sends six packets:
T1: P1 (lost)
T2: P2
T3: P3
T4: P4
T100: sack of P2. rack.mstamp = T2
T101: retransmit P1
T102: sack of P2,P3,P4. rack.mstamp = T4
T205: ACK of P4 since the hole is repaired. rack.mstamp = T101

We need to be careful about spurious retransmission because it may
falsely advance tp->rack.mstamp by an RTT or an RTO, causing RACK
to falsely mark all packets lost, just like a spurious timeout.

We identify spurious retransmission by the ACK's TS echo value.
If TS option is not applicable but the retransmission is acknowledged
less than min-RTT ago, it is likely to be spurious. We refrain from
using the transmission time of these spurious retransmissions.

The second half is implemented in the next patch that marks packet
lost using RACK timestamp.

tcp: track min RTT using windowed min-filter

Kathleen Nichols' algorithm for tracking the minimum RTT of a
data stream over some measurement window. It uses constant space
and constant time per update. Yet it almost always delivers
the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all
the data in the window. The measurement window is tunable via
sysctl.net.ipv4.tcp_min_rtt_wlen with a default value of 5 minutes.

The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min
values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of
the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three
values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds
the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing
over the window.

Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because
it has no value - the new min is less than everything else in the
window by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh
on every new min and overwrites the 2nd & 3rd choices. The same
property holds for the 2nd & 3rd best.

Therefore we have to maintain two invariants to maximize the
information in the samples, one on values (1st.v <= 2nd.v <=
3rd.v) and the other on times (now-win <=1st.t <= 2nd.t <= 3rd.t <=
now). These invariants determine the structure of the code

The RTT input to the windowed filter is the minimum RTT measured
from ACK or SACK, or as the last resort from TCP timestamps.

The accessor tcp_min_rtt() returns the minimum RTT seen in the
window. ~0U indicates it is not available. The minimum is 1usec
even if the true RTT is below that.

tcp: fix fastopen races vs lockless listener

There are multiple races that need fixes :

1) skb_get() + queue skb + kfree_skb() is racy

An accept() can be done on another cpu, data consumed immediately.
tcp_recvmsg() uses __kfree_skb() as it is assumed all skb found in
socket receive queue are private.

Then the kfree_skb() in tcp_rcv_state_process() uses an already freed skb

2) tcp_reqsk_record_syn() needs to be done before tcp_try_fastopen()
for the same reasons.

3) We want to send the SYNACK before queueing child into accept queue,
otherwise we might reintroduce the ooo issue fixed in
commit 7c85af881044 ("tcp: avoid reorders for TFO passive connections")

tcp: attach SYNACK messages to request sockets instead of listener

If a listen backlog is very big (to avoid syncookies), then
the listener sk->sk_wmem_alloc is the main source of false
sharing, as we need to touch it twice per SYNACK re-transmit
and TX completion.

(One SYN packet takes listener lock once, but up to 6 SYNACK
are generated)

By attaching the skb to the request socket, we remove this
source of contention.

Tested:

listen(fd, 10485760); // single listener (no SO_REUSEPORT)
16 RX/TX queue NIC
Sustain a SYNFLOOD attack of ~320,000 SYN per second,

tcp/dccp: install syn_recv requests into ehash table

In this patch, we insert request sockets into TCP/DCCP
regular ehash table (where ESTABLISHED and TIMEWAIT sockets
are) instead of using the per listener hash table.

ACK packets find SYN_RECV pseudo sockets without having
to find and lock the listener.

In nominal conditions, this halves pressure on listener lock.

Note that this will allow for SO_REUSEPORT refinements,
so that we can select a listener using cpu/numa affinities instead
of the prior 'consistent hash', since only SYN packets will
apply this selection logic.

We will shrink listen_sock in the following patch to ease
code review.

tcp: avoid reorders for TFO passive connections

We found that a TCP Fast Open passive connection was vulnerable
to reorders, as the exchange might look like

[1] C -> S S <FO ...> <request>
[2] S -> C S. ack request <options>
[3] S -> C . <answer>

packets [2] and [3] can be generated at almost the same time.

If C receives the 3rd packet before the 2nd, it will drop it as
the socket is in SYN_SENT state and expects a SYNACK.

S will have to retransmit the answer.

Current OOO avoidance in linux is defeated because SYNACK
packets are attached to the LISTEN socket, while DATA packets
are attached to the children. They might be sent by different cpus,
and different TX queues might be selected.

It turns out that for TFO, we created a child, which is a
full blown socket in TCP_SYN_RECV state, and we simply can attach
the SYNACK packet to this socket.

This means that at the time tcp_sendmsg() pushes DATA packet,
skb->ooo_okay will be set iff the SYNACK packet had been sent
and TX completed.

This removes the reorder source at the host level.

We also removed the export of tcp_try_fastopen(), as it is no
longer called from IPv6.

tcp: usec resolution SYN/ACK RTT

Currently SYN/ACK RTT is measured in jiffies. For LAN the SYN/ACK
RTT is often measured as 0ms or sometimes 1ms, which would affect
RTT estimation and min RTT samping used by some congestion control.

This patch improves SYN/ACK RTT to be usec resolution if platform
supports it. While the timestamping of SYN/ACK is done in request
sock, the RTT measurement is carefully arranged to avoid storing
another u64 timestamp in tcp_sock.

For regular handshake w/o SYNACK retransmission, the RTT is sampled
right after the child socket is created and right before the request
sock is released (tcp_check_req() in tcp_minisocks.c)

For Fast Open the child socket is already created when SYN/ACK was
sent, the RTT is sampled in tcp_rcv_state_process() after processing
the final ACK an right before the request socket is released.

If the SYN/ACK was retransmistted or SYN-cookie was used, we rely
on TCP timestamps to measure the RTT. The sample is taken at the
same place in tcp_rcv_state_process() after the timestamp values
are validated in tcp_validate_incoming(). Note that we do not store
TS echo value in request_sock for SYN-cookies, because the value
is already stored in tp->rx_opt used by tcp_ack_update_rtt().

One side benefit is that the RTT measurement now happens before
initializing congestion control (of the passive side). Therefore
the congestion control can use the SYN/ACK RTT.

tcp: provide skb->hash to synack packets

In commit b73c3d0e4f0e ("net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf

We'd like to provide one as well for SYNACK packets, so that all packets
of a given flow share same txhash, to later enable bonding driver to
also use skb->hash to perform slave selection.

Note that a SYNACK retransmit shuffles the tx hash, as Tom did
in commit 265f94ff54d62 ("net: Recompute sk_txhash on negative routing
advice") for established sockets.

This has nice effect making TCP flows resilient to some kind of black

tcp: use dctcp if enabled on the route to the initiator

Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should:
A responder has f.e. Cubic as system wide default, but for a specific
route to the initiating host, DCTCP is being set in RTAX_CC_ALGO. The
initiating host then uses DCTCP as congestion control, but since the
initiator sets ECT(0), tcp_ecn_create_request() doesn't set ecn_ok,
and we have to fall back to Reno after 3WHS completes.

We were thinking on how to solve this in a minimal, non-intrusive
way without bloating tcp_ecn_create_request() needlessly: lets cache
the CA ecn option flag in RTAX_FEATURES. In other words, when ECT(0)
is set on the SYN packet, set ecn_ok=1 iff route RTAX_FEATURES
contains the unexposed (internal-only) DST_FEATURE_ECN_CA. This allows
to only do a single metric feature lookup inside tcp_ecn_create_request().

tcp: refine pacing rate determination

When TCP pacing was added back in linux-3.12, we chose
to apply a fixed ratio of 200 % against current rate,
to allow probing for optimal throughput even during
slow start phase, where cwnd can be doubled every other gRTT.

At Google, we found it was better applying a different ratio
while in Congestion Avoidance phase.
This ratio was set to 120 %.

We've used the normal tcp_in_slow_start() helper for a while,
then tuned the condition to select the conservative ratio
as soon as cwnd >= ssthresh/2 :

- After cwnd reduction, it is safer to ramp up more slowly,
as we approach optimal cwnd.
- Initial ramp up (ssthresh == INFINITY) still allows doubling
cwnd every other RTT.

tcp: fix slow start after idle vs TSO/GSO

slow start after idle might reduce cwnd, but we perform this
after first packet was cooked and sent.

With TSO/GSO, it means that we might send a full TSO packet
even if cwnd should have been reduced to IW10.

Moving the SSAI check in skb_entail() makes sense, because
we slightly reduce number of times this check is done,
especially for large send() and TCP Small queue callbacks from
softirq context.

As Neal pointed out, we also need to perform the check
if/when receive window opens.

tcp: update congestion state first before raising cwnd

The congestion state and cwnd can be updated in the wrong order.
For example, upon receiving a dubious ACK, we incorrectly raise
the cwnd first (tcp_may_raise_cwnd()/tcp_cong_avoid()) because
the state is still Open, then enter recovery state to reduce cwnd.

For another example, if the ACK indicates spurious timeout or
retransmits, we first revert the cwnd reduction and congestion
state back to Open state. But we don't raise the cwnd even though
the ACK does not indicate any congestion.

To fix this problem we should first call tcp_fastretrans_alert() to
process the dubious ACK and update the congestion state, then call
tcp_may_raise_cwnd() that raises cwnd based on the current state.

tcp: v1 always send a quick ack when quickacks are enabled

V1 of this patch contains Eric Dumazet's suggestion to move the per
dst RTAX_QUICKACK check into tcp_in_quickack_mode(). Thanks Eric.

I ran some tests and after setting the "ip route change quickack 1"
knob there were still many delayed ACKs sent. This occured
because when icsk_ack.quick=0 the !icsk_ack.pingpong value is
subsequently ignored as tcp_in_quickack_mode() checks both these
values. The condition for a quick ack to trigger requires
that both icsk_ack.quick != 0 and icsk_ack.pingpong=0. Currently
only icsk_ack.pingpong is controlled by the knob. But the
icsk_ack.quick value changes dynamically depending on heuristics.
The crux of the matter is that delayed acks still cannot be entirely
disabled even with the RTAX_QUICKACK per dst knob enabled. This
patch ensures that a quick ack is always sent when the RTAX_QUICKACK
per dst knob is turned on.

The "ip route change quickack 1" knob was recently added to enable
quickacks. It was modeled around the TCP_QUICKACK setsockopt() option.
This issue is that even with "ip route change quickack 1" enabled
we still see delayed ACKs under some conditions. It would be nice
to be able to completely disable delayed ACKs.

Here is an example:

# netstat -s|grep dela
3 delayed acks sent

For all routes enable the knob

# ip route change quickack 1

Generate some traffic across a slow link and we still see the delayed
acks.

# netstat -s|grep dela
106 delayed acks sent
1 delayed acks further delayed because of locked socket

The issue is that both the "ip route change quickack 1" knob and
the TCP_QUICKACK option set the icsk_ack.pingpong variable to 0.
However at the business end in the __tcp_ack_snd_check() routine,
tcp_in_quickack_mode() checks that both icsk_ack.quick != 0
and icsk_ack.pingpong=0 in order to trigger a quickack. As
icsk_ack.quick is determined by heuristics it can be 0. When
that occurs the icsk_ack.pingpong value is ignored and a delayed
ACK is sent regardless.

This patch moves the RTAX_QUICKACK per dst check into the
tcp_in_quickack_mode() routine which ensures that a quickack is
always sent when the quickack knob is enabled for that dst.

tcp: PRR uses CRB mode by default and SS mode conditionally

PRR slow start is often too aggressive especially when drops are
caused by traffic policers. The policers mainly use token bucket
to enforce the rate so sending (twice) faster than the delivery
rate causes excessive drops.

This patch changes PRR to the conservative reduction bound
(CRB) mode in RFC 6937 by default. CRB follows the packet
conservation rule to send at most the delivery rate by default.

But if many packets are lost and the pipe is empty, CRB may take N
round trips to repair N losses. We conditionally turn on slow start
mode if all these conditions are made to speed up the recovery:

1) on the second round or later in recovery
2) retransmission sent in the previous round is delivered on this ACK
3) no retransmission is marked lost on this ACK

By using packet conservation by default, this change reduces the loss
retransmits signicantly on networks that deploy traffic policers,
up to 20% reduction of overall loss rate.

tcp: reduce cwnd if retransmit is lost in CA_Loss

If the retransmission in CA_Loss is lost again, we should not
continue to slow start or raise cwnd in congestion avoidance mode.
Instead we should enter fast recovery and use PRR to reduce cwnd,
following the principle in RFC5681:

"... or the loss of a retransmission, should be taken as two
indications of congestion and, therefore, cwnd (and ssthresh) MUST
be lowered twice in this case."

This is especially important to reduce loss when the CA_Loss
state was caused by a traffic policer dropping the entire inflight.
The CA_Loss state has a problem where a loss of L packets causes the
sender to send a burst of L packets. So a policer that's dropping
most packets in a given RTT can cause a huge retransmit storm. By
contrast, PRR includes logic to bound the number of outbound packets
that result from a given ACK. So switching to CA_Recovery on lost
retransmits in CA_Loss avoids this retransmit storm problem when
in CA_Loss.

tcp: don't over-send F-RTO probes

After sending the new data packets to probe (step 2), F-RTO may
incorrectly send more probes if the next ACK advances SND_UNA and
does not sack new packet. However F-RTO RFC 5682 probes at most
once. This bug may cause sender to always send new data instead of
repairing holes, inducing longer HoL blocking on the receiver for
the application.

tcp: only undo on partial ACKs in CA_Loss

Undo based on TCP timestamps should only happen on ACKs that advance
SND_UNA, according to the Eifel algorithm in RFC 3522:

Section 3.2:

(4) If the value of the Timestamp Echo Reply field of the
acceptable ACK's Timestamps option is smaller than the
value of RetransmitTS, then proceed to step (5),

Section Terminology:
We use the term 'acceptable ACK' as defined in [RFC793]. That is an
ACK that acknowledges previously unacknowledged data.

This is because upon receiving an out-of-order packet, the receiver
returns the last timestamp that advances RCV_NXT, not the current
timestamp of the packet in the DUPACK. Without checking the flag,
the DUPACK will cause tcp_packet_delayed() to return true and
tcp_try_undo_loss() will revert cwnd reduction.

Note that we check the condition in CA_Recovery already by only
calling tcp_try_undo_partial() if FLAG_SND_UNA_ADVANCED is set or
tcp_try_undo_recovery() if snd_una crosses high_seq.

tcp: adjust window probe timers to safer values

With the advent of small rto timers in datacenter TCP,
(ip route ... rto_min x), the following can happen :

1) Qdisc is full, transmit fails.

TCP sets a timer based on icsk_rto to retry the transmit, without
exponential backoff.
With low icsk_rto, and lot of sockets, all cpus are servicing timer
interrupts like crazy.
Intent of the code was to retry with a timer between 200 (TCP_RTO_MIN)
and 500ms (TCP_RESOURCE_PROBE_INTERVAL)

2) Receivers can send zero windows if they don't drain their receive queue.

TCP sends zero window probes, based on icsk_rto current value, with
exponential backoff.
With /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_retries2 being 15 (or even smaller in
some cases), sender can abort in less than one or two minutes !
If receiver stops the sender, it obviously doesn't care of very tight
rto. Probability of dropping the ACK reopening the window is not
worth the risk.

Lets change the base timer to be at least 200ms (TCP_RTO_MIN) for these
events (but not normal RTO based retransmits)

A followup patch adds a new SNMP counter, as it would have helped a lot
diagnosing this issue.

tcp: provide SYN headers for passive connections

This patch allows a server application to get the TCP SYN headers for
its passive connections. This is useful if the server is doing
fingerprinting of clients based on SYN packet contents.

Two socket options are added: TCP_SAVE_SYN and TCP_SAVED_SYN.

The first is used on a socket to enable saving the SYN headers
for child connections. This can be set before or after the listen()
call.

The latter is used to retrieve the SYN headers for passive connections,
if the parent listener has enabled TCP_SAVE_SYN.

TCP_SAVED_SYN is read once, it frees the saved SYN headers.

The data returned in TCP_SAVED_SYN are network (IPv4/IPv6) and TCP
headers.

Original patch was written by Tom Herbert, I changed it to not hold
a full skb (and associated dst and conntracking reference).

We have used such patch for about 3 years at Google.

2. The receiver disregards the RFC 5681 recommendation to immediately

Give congestion control a RTT for the latest segment SACKed, which is the
most accurate RTT estimate, but preserve the conservative RTT for RTO.

Such segments previously had an RTT estimation in tcp_sacktag_one(), so it

tcp: RFC7413 option support for Fast Open client

Fast Open has been using an experimental option with a magic number
(RFC6994). This patch makes the client by default use the RFC7413
option (34) to get and send Fast Open cookies. This patch makes
the client solicit cookies from a given server first with the
RFC7413 option. If that fails to elicit a cookie, then it tries
the RFC6994 experimental option. If that also fails, it uses the
RFC7413 option on all subsequent connect attempts. If the server
returns a Fast Open cookie then the client caches the form of the
option that successfully elicited a cookie, and uses that form on
later connects when it presents that cookie.

The idea is to gradually obsolete the use of experimental options as
the servers and clients upgrade, while keeping the interoperability
meanwhile.

tcp: fix FRTO undo on cumulative ACK of SACKed range

On processing cumulative ACKs, the FRTO code was not checking the
SACKed bit, meaning that there could be a spurious FRTO undo on a
cumulative ACK of a previously SACKed skb.

The FRTO code should only consider a cumulative ACK to indicate that
an original/unretransmitted skb is newly ACKed if the skb was not yet
SACKed.

The effect of the spurious FRTO undo would typically be to make the
connection think that all previously-sent packets were in flight when
they really weren't, leading to a stall and an RTO.

net: add real socket cookies

A long standing problem in netlink socket dumps is the use
of kernel socket addresses as cookies.

1) It is a security concern.

2) Sockets can be reused quite quickly, so there is
no guarantee a cookie is used once and identify
a flow.

3) request sock, establish sock, and timewait socks
for a given flow have different cookies.

Part of our effort to bring better TCP statistics requires
to switch to a different allocator.

In this patch, I chose to use a per network namespace 64bit generator,
and to use it only in the case a socket needs to be dumped to netlink.
(This might be refined later if needed)

Note that I tried to carry cookies from request sock, to establish sock,
then timewait sockets.

- sysctl to control how often we allow dupacks to out-of-window packets
- SNMP counter for cases where we rate-limited our dupack sending

The rate-limiting logic in this patch decides to not send dupacks in
response to out-of-window segments if (a) they are SYNs or pure ACKs
and (b) the remote endpoint is sending them faster than the configured
rate limit.

We rate-limit our responses rather than blocking them entirely or
resetting the connection, because legitimate connections can rely on
dupacks in response to some out-of-window segments. For example, zero
window probes are typically sent with a sequence number that is below
the current window, and ZWPs thus expect to thus elicit a dupack in
response.

We allow dupacks in response to TCP segments with data, because these
may be spurious retransmissions for which the remote endpoint wants to
receive DSACKs. This is safe because segments with data can't
realistically be part of ACK loops, which by their nature consist of
each side sending pure/data-less ACKs to each other.

The dupack interval is controlled by a new sysctl knob,
tcp_invalid_ratelimit, given in milliseconds, in case an administrator
needs to dial this upward in the face of a high-rate DoS attack. The
name and units are chosen to be analogous to the existing analogous
knob for ICMP, icmp_ratelimit.

The default value for tcp_invalid_ratelimit is 500ms, which allows at
most one such dupack per 500ms. This is chosen to be 2x faster than
the 1-second minimum RTO interval allowed by RFC 6298 (section 2, rule
2.4). We allow the extra 2x factor because network delay variations
can cause packets sent at 1 second intervals to be compressed and
arrive much closer.

ip: convert tcp_sendmsg() to iov_iter primitives

patch is actually smaller than it seems to be - most of it is unindenting
the inner loop body in tcp_sendmsg() itself...

the bit in tcp_input.c is going to get reverted very soon - that's what
memcpy_from_msg() will become, but not in this commit; let's keep it
reasonably contained...

There's one potentially subtle change here: in case of short copy from
userland, mainline tcp_send_syn_data() discards the skb it has allocated
and falls back to normal path, where we'll send as much as possible after
rereading the same data again. This patch trims SYN+data skb instead -
that way we don't need to copy from the same place twice.

net: dctcp: loosen requirement to assert ECT(0) during 3WHS

One deployment requirement of DCTCP is to be able to run
in a DC setting along with TCP traffic. As Glenn Judd's
NSDI'15 paper "Attaining the Promise and Avoiding the Pitfalls
of TCP in the Datacenter" [1] (tba) explains, one way to
solve this on switch side is to split DCTCP and TCP traffic
in two queues per switch port based on the DSCP: one queue
soley intended for DCTCP traffic and one for non-DCTCP traffic.

For the DCTCP queue, there's the marking threshold K as
explained in commit e3118e8359bb ("net: tcp: add DCTCP congestion
control algorithm") for RED marking ECT(0) packets with CE.
For the non-DCTCP queue, there's f.e. a classic tail drop queue.
As already explained in e3118e8359bb, running DCTCP at scale
when not marking SYN/SYN-ACK packets with ECT(0) has severe
consequences as for non-ECT(0) packets, traversing the RED
marking DCTCP queue will result in a severe reduction of
connection probability.

This is due to the DCTCP queue being dominated by ECT(0) traffic
and switches handle non-ECT traffic in the RED marking queue
after passing K as drops, where K is usually a low watermark
in order to leave enough tailroom for bursts. Splitting DCTCP
traffic among several queues (ECN and non-ECN queue) is being
considered a terrible idea in the network community as it
splits single flows across multiple network paths.

Therefore, commit e3118e8359bb implements this on Linux as
ECT(0) marked traffic, as we argue that marking all packets
of a DCTCP flow is the only viable solution and also doesn't
speak against the draft.

However, recently, a DCTCP implementation for FreeBSD hit also
their mainline kernel [2]. In order to let them play well
together with Linux' DCTCP, we would need to loosen the
requirement that ECT(0) has to be asserted during the 3WHS as
not implemented in FreeBSD. This simplifies the ECN test and
lets DCTCP work together with FreeBSD.

tcp: avoid reducing cwnd when ACK+DSACK is received

With TLP, the peer may reply to a probe with an
ACK+D-SACK, with ack value set to tlp_high_seq. In the current code,
such ACK+DSACK will be missed and only at next, higher ack will the TLP
episode be considered done. Since the DSACK is not present anymore,
this will cost a cwnd reduction.

This patch ensures that this scenario does not cause a cwnd reduction, since
receiving an ACK+DSACK indicates that both the initial segment and the probe
have been received by the peer.

The following packetdrill test, from Neal Cardwell, validates this patch:

// Establish a connection.
0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
+0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0

// Loss probe retransmission.
// packets_out == 1 => schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms)
// In this case, this means: 1.5*RTT + 200ms = 230ms
+.230 > P. 1:1001(1000) ack 1
+0 %{ assert tcpi_snd_cwnd == 10 }%

// Receiver ACKs at tlp_high_seq with a DSACK,
// indicating they received the original packet and probe.
+.020 < . 1:1(0) ack 1001 win 257 <sack 1:1001,nop,nop>
+0 %{ assert tcpi_snd_cwnd == 10 }%

// Send another packet.
+0 write(4, ..., 1000) = 1000
+0 > P. 1001:2001(1000) ack 1

// Receiver ACKs above tlp_high_seq, which should end the TLP episode
// if we haven't already. We should not reduce cwnd.
+.020 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257
+0 %{ assert tcpi_snd_cwnd == 10, tcpi_snd_cwnd }%

tcp: Restore RFC5961-compliant behavior for SYN packets

Commit c3ae62af8e755 ("tcp: should drop incoming frames without ACK
flag set") was created to mitigate a security vulnerability in which a
local attacker is able to inject data into locally-opened sockets by
using TCP protocol statistics in procfs to quickly find the correct
sequence number.

This broke the RFC5961 requirement to send a challenge ACK in response
to spurious RST packets, which was subsequently fixed by commit
7b514a886ba50 ("tcp: accept RST without ACK flag").

Unfortunately, the RFC5961 requirement that spurious SYN packets be
handled in a similar manner remains broken.

RFC5961 section 4 states that:

... the handling of the SYN in the synchronized state SHOULD be
performed as follows:

1) If the SYN bit is set, irrespective of the sequence number, TCP
MUST send an ACK (also referred to as challenge ACK) to the remote
peer:

<SEQ=SND.NXT><ACK=RCV.NXT><CTL=ACK>

After sending the acknowledgment, TCP MUST drop the unacceptable
segment and stop processing further.

By sending an ACK, the remote peer is challenged to confirm the loss
of the previous connection and the request to start a new connection.
A legitimate peer, after restart, would not have a TCB in the
synchronized state. Thus, when the ACK arrives, the peer should send
a RST segment back with the sequence number derived from the ACK
field that caused the RST.

This RST will confirm that the remote peer has indeed closed the
previous connection. Upon receipt of a valid RST, the local TCP
endpoint MUST terminate its connection. The local TCP endpoint
should then rely on SYN retransmission from the remote end to
re-establish the connection.

This patch lets SYN packets through the discard added in c3ae62af8e755,
so that spurious SYN packets are properly dealt with as per the RFC.

The challenge ACK is sent unconditionally and is rate-limited, so the
original vulnerability is not reintroduced by this patch.

Use the more common dynamic_debug capable net_dbg_ratelimited

All messages are still ratelimited.

Some KERN_<LEVEL> uses are changed to KERN_DEBUG.

This may have some negative impact on messages that were
emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless
DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled. Even so,
these messages are now _not_ emitted by default.

This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl
"/proc/sys/net/core/warnings". For backward compatibility,
the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function. The extern
declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made
static in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c

tcp: zero retrans_stamp if all retrans were acked

Ueki Kohei reported that when we are using NewReno with connections that
have a very low traffic, we may timeout the connection too early if a
second loss occurs after the first one was successfully acked but no
data was transfered later. Below is his description of it:

When SACK is disabled, and a socket suffers multiple separate TCP
retransmissions, that socket's ETIMEDOUT value is calculated from the
time of the *first* retransmission instead of the *latest*
retransmission.

This happens because the tcp_sock's retrans_stamp is set once then never
cleared.

Take the following connection:

Linux remote-machine
| |
send#1---->(*1)|--------> data#1 --------->|
| | |
RTO : :
| | |
---(*2)|----> data#1(retrans) ---->|
| (*3)|<---------- ACK <----------|
| | |
| : :
| : :
| : :
16 minutes (or more) :
| : :
| : :
| : :
| | |
send#2---->(*4)|--------> data#2 --------->|
| | |
RTO : :
| | |
---(*5)|----> data#2(retrans) ---->|
| | |
| | |
RTO*2 : :
| | |
| | |
ETIMEDOUT<----(*6)| |

(*1) One data packet sent.
(*2) Because no ACK packet is received, the packet is retransmitted.
(*3) The ACK packet is received. The transmitted packet is acknowledged.

At this point the first "retransmission event" has passed and been
recovered from. Any future retransmission is a completely new "event".

(*4) After 16 minutes (to correspond with retries2=15), a new data
packet is sent. Note: No data is transmitted between (*3) and (*4).

The socket's timeout SHOULD be calculated from this point in time, but
instead it's calculated from the prior "event" 16 minutes ago.

(*5) Because no ACK packet is received, the packet is retransmitted.
(*6) At the time of the 2nd retransmission, the socket returns
ETIMEDOUT.

Therefore, now we clear retrans_stamp as soon as all data during the
loss window is fully acked.

net: allow setting ecn via routing table

This patch allows to set ECN on a per-route basis in case the sysctl
tcp_ecn is not set to 1. In other words, when ECN is set for specific
routes, it provides a tcp_ecn=1 behaviour for that route while the rest
of the stack acts according to the global settings.

One can use 'ip route change dev $dev $net features ecn' to toggle this.

Having a more fine-grained per-route setting can be beneficial for various
reasons, for example, 1) within data centers, or 2) local ISPs may deploy
ECN support for their own video/streaming services [1], etc.

There was a recent measurement study/paper [2] which scanned the Alexa's
publicly available top million websites list from a vantage point in US,
Europe and Asia:

Half of the Alexa list will now happily use ECN (tcp_ecn=2, most likely
blamed to commit 255cac91c3 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side
only ECN") ;)); the break in connectivity on-path was found is about
1 in 10,000 cases. Timeouts rather than receiving back RSTs were much
more common in the negotiation phase (and mostly seen in the Alexa
middle band, ranks around 50k-150k): from 12-thousand hosts on which
there _may_ be ECN-linked connection failures, only 79 failed with RST
when _not_ failing with RST when ECN is not requested.

It's unclear though, how much equipment in the wild actually marks CE
when buffers start to fill up.

We thought about a fallback to non-ECN for retransmitted SYNs as another
global option (which could perhaps one day be made default), but as Eric
points out, there's much more work needed to detect broken middleboxes.

Two examples Eric mentioned are buggy firewalls that accept only a single
SYN per flow, and middleboxes that successfully let an ECN flow establish,
but later mark CE for all packets (so cwnd converges to 1).

net: tcp: more detailed ACK events and events for CE marked packets

DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) determines cwnd growth based on ECN information
and ACK properties, e.g. ACK that updates window is treated differently
than DUPACK.

Also DCTCP needs information whether ACK was delayed ACK. Furthermore,
DCTCP also implements a CE state machine that keeps track of CE markings
of incoming packets.

Therefore, extend the congestion control framework to provide these
event types, so that DCTCP can be properly implemented as a normal
congestion algorithm module outside of the core stack.

net: tcp: add flag for ca to indicate that ECN is required

This patch adds a flag to TCP congestion algorithms that allows
for requesting to mark IPv4/IPv6 sockets with transport as ECN
capable, that is, ECT(0), when required by a congestion algorithm.

It is currently used and needed in DataCenter TCP (DCTCP), as it
requires both peers to assert ECT on all IP packets sent - it
uses ECN feedback (i.e. CE, Congestion Encountered information)
from switches inside the data center to derive feedback to the
end hosts.

Therefore, simply add a new flag to icsk_ca_ops. Note that DCTCP's
algorithm/behaviour slightly diverges from RFC3168, therefore this
is only (!) enabled iff the assigned congestion control ops module
has requested this. By that, we can tightly couple this logic really
only to the provided congestion control ops.

tcp: change tcp_skb_pcount() location

Our goal is to access no more than one cache line access per skb in
a write or receive queue when doing the various walks.

After recent TCP_SKB_CB() reorganizations, it is almost done.

Last part is tcp_skb_pcount() which currently uses
skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs, which is a terrible choice, because it needs
3 cache lines in current kernel (skb->head, skb->end, and
shinfo->gso_segs are all in 3 different cache lines, far from skb->cb)

This very simple patch reuses space currently taken by tcp_tw_isn
only in input path, as tcp_skb_pcount is only needed for skb stored in
write queue.

This considerably speeds up tcp_ack(), granted we avoid shinfo->tx_flags
to get SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP, which seems possible.

This also speeds up all sack processing in general.

This speeds up tcp_sendmsg() because it no longer has to access/dirty

tcp: improve undo on timeout

Upon timeout, undo (via both timestamps/Eifel and DSACKs) was
disabled if any retransmits were still in flight. The concern was
perhaps that spurious retransmission sent in a previous recovery
episode may trigger DSACKs to falsely undo the current recovery.

However, this inadvertently misses undo opportunities (using either
TCP timestamps or DSACKs) when timeout occurs during a loss episode,
i.e. recurring timeouts or timeout during fast recovery. In these
cases some retransmissions will be in flight but we should allow
undo. Furthermore, we should only reset undo_marker and undo_retrans
upon timeout if we are starting a new recovery episode. Finally,
when we do reset our undo state, we now do so in a manner similar
to tcp_enter_recovery(), so that we require a DSACK for each of
the outstsanding retransmissions. This will achieve the original
goal by requiring that we receive the same number of DSACKs as
retransmissions.

This patch increases the undo events by 50% on Google servers.

tcp: fix ssthresh and undo for consecutive short FRTO episodes

Fix TCP FRTO logic so that it always notices when snd_una advances,
indicating that any RTO after that point will be a new and distinct
loss episode.

Previously there was a very specific sequence that could cause FRTO to
fail to notice a new loss episode had started:

(1) RTO timer fires, enter FRTO and retransmit packet 1 in write queue
(2) receiver ACKs packet 1
(3) FRTO sends 2 more packets
(4) RTO timer fires again (should start a new loss episode)

The problem was in step (3) above, where tcp_process_loss() returned
early (in the spot marked "Step 2.b"), so that it never got to the
logic to clear icsk_retransmits. Thus icsk_retransmits stayed
non-zero. Thus in step (4) tcp_enter_loss() would see the non-zero
icsk_retransmits, decide that this RTO is not a new episode, and
decide not to cut ssthresh and remember the current cwnd and ssthresh
for undo.

There were two main consequences to the bug that we have
observed. First, ssthresh was not decreased in step (4). Second, when
there was a series of such FRTO (1-4) sequences that happened to be
followed by an FRTO undo, we would restore the cwnd and ssthresh from
before the entire series started (instead of the cwnd and ssthresh
from before the most recent RTO). This could result in cwnd and
ssthresh being restored to values much bigger than the proper values.

tcp: don't allow syn packets without timestamps to pass tcp_tw_recycle logic

tcp_tw_recycle heavily relies on tcp timestamps to build a per-host
ordering of incoming connections and teardowns without the need to
hold state on a specific quadruple for TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN, but only for
the last measured RTO. To do so, we keep the last seen timestamp in a
per-host indexed data structure and verify if the incoming timestamp
in a connection request is strictly greater than the saved one during
last connection teardown. Thus we can verify later on that no old data
packets will be accepted by the new connection.

During moving a socket to time-wait state we already verify if timestamps
where seen on a connection. Only if that was the case we let the
time-wait socket expire after the RTO, otherwise normal TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN
will be used. But we don't verify this on incoming SYN packets. If a
connection teardown was less than TCP_PAWS_MSL seconds in the past we
cannot guarantee to not accept data packets from an old connection if
no timestamps are present. We should drop this SYN packet. This patch
closes this loophole.

Please note, this patch does not make tcp_tw_recycle in any way more
usable but only adds another safety check:
Sporadic drops of SYN packets because of reordering in the network or
in the socket backlog queues can happen. Users behing NAT trying to
connect to a tcp_tw_recycle enabled server can get caught in blackholes
and their connection requests may regullary get dropped because hosts
behind an address translator don't have synchronized tcp timestamp clocks.
tcp_tw_recycle cannot work if peers don't have tcp timestamps enabled.

In general, use of tcp_tw_recycle is disadvised.

tcp: reduce spurious retransmits due to transient SACK reneging

This commit reduces spurious retransmits due to apparent SACK reneging
by only reacting to SACK reneging that persists for a short delay.

When a sequence space hole at snd_una is filled, some TCP receivers
send a series of ACKs as they apparently scan their out-of-order queue
and cumulatively ACK all the packets that have now been consecutiveyly
received. This is essentially misbehavior B in "Misbehaviors in TCP
SACK generation" ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, April
2011, so we suspect that this is from several common OSes (Windows
2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP). However, this issue has also
been seen in other cases, e.g. the netdev thread "TCP being hoodwinked
into spurious retransmissions by lack of timestamps?" from March 2014,
where the receiver was thought to be a BSD box.

Since snd_una would temporarily be adjacent to a previously SACKed
range in these scenarios, this receiver behavior triggered the Linux
SACK reneging code path in the sender. This led the sender to clear
the SACK scoreboard, enter CA_Loss, and spuriously retransmit
(potentially) every packet from the entire write queue at line rate
just a few milliseconds before the ACK for each packet arrives at the
sender.

To avoid such situations, now when a sender sees apparent reneging it
does not yet retransmit, but rather adjusts the RTO timer to give the
receiver a little time (max(RTT/2, 10ms)) to send us some more ACKs
that will restore sanity to the SACK scoreboard. If the reneging
persists until this RTO then, as before, we clear the SACK scoreboard
and enter CA_Loss.

A 10ms delay tolerates a receiver sending such a stream of ACKs at
56Kbit/sec. And to allow for receivers with slower or more congested
paths, we wait for at least RTT/2.

We validated the resulting max(RTT/2, 10ms) delay formula with a mix
of North American and South American Google web server traffic, and
found that for ACKs displaying transient reneging:

(1) 90% of inter-ACK delays were less than 10ms
(2) 99% of inter-ACK delays were less than RTT/2

In tests on Google web servers this commit reduced reneging events by
75%-90% (as measured by the TcpExtTCPSACKReneging counter), without
any measurable impact on latency for user HTTP and SPDY requests.

tcp: fix false undo corner cases

The undo code assumes that, upon entering loss recovery, TCP
1) always retransmit something
2) the retransmission never fails locally (e.g., qdisc drop)

so undo_marker is set in tcp_enter_recovery() and undo_retrans is
incremented only when tcp_retransmit_skb() is successful.

When the assumption is broken because TCP's cwnd is too small to
retransmit or the retransmit fails locally. The next (DUP)ACK
would incorrectly revert the cwnd and the congestion state in
tcp_try_undo_dsack() or tcp_may_undo(). Subsequent (DUP)ACKs
may enter the recovery state. The sender repeatedly enter and
(incorrectly) exit recovery states if the retransmits continue to
fail locally while receiving (DUP)ACKs.

The fix is to initialize undo_retrans to -1 and start counting on
the first retransmission. Always increment undo_retrans even if the
retransmissions fail locally because they couldn't cause DSACKs to
undo the cwnd reduction.

tcp: fix tcp_match_skb_to_sack() for unaligned SACK at end of an skb

If there is an MSS change (or misbehaving receiver) that causes a SACK
to arrive that covers the end of an skb but is less than one MSS, then
tcp_match_skb_to_sack() was rounding up pkt_len to the full length of
the skb ("Round if necessary..."), then chopping all bytes off the skb
and creating a zero-byte skb in the write queue.

This was visible now because the recently simplified TLP logic in
bef1909ee3ed1c ("tcp: fixing TLP's FIN recovery") could find that 0-byte
skb at the end of the write queue, and now that we do not check that
skb's length we could send it as a TLP probe.

Consider the following example scenario:

mss: 1000
skb: seq: 0 end_seq: 4000 len: 4000
SACK: start_seq: 3999 end_seq: 4000

The tcp_match_skb_to_sack() code will compute:

in_sack = false
pkt_len = start_seq - TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq = 3999 - 0 = 3999
new_len = (pkt_len / mss) * mss = (3999/1000)*1000 = 3000
new_len += mss = 4000

Previously we would find the new_len > skb->len check failing, so we
would fall through and set pkt_len = new_len = 4000 and chop off
pkt_len of 4000 from the 4000-byte skb, leaving a 0-byte segment
afterward in the write queue.

With this new commit, we notice that the new new_len >= skb->len check
succeeds, so that we return without trying to fragment.

tcp: fix cwnd undo on DSACK in F-RTO

This bug is discovered by an recent F-RTO issue on tcpm list
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tcpm/current/msg08794.html

The bug is that currently F-RTO does not use DSACK to undo cwnd in
certain cases: upon receiving an ACK after the RTO retransmission in
F-RTO, and the ACK has DSACK indicating the retransmission is spurious,
the sender only calls tcp_try_undo_loss() if some never retransmisted
data is sacked (FLAG_ORIG_DATA_SACKED).

The correct behavior is to unconditionally call tcp_try_undo_loss so
the DSACK information is used properly to undo the cwnd reduction.

net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:

skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);

But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.

Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.

And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.

So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

issue tree-wide.

tcp: fix bogus RTT on special retransmission

RTT may be bogus with tall loss probe (TLP) when a packet
is retransmitted and latter (s)acked without TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS flag.

For example, TLP calls __tcp_retransmit_skb() instead of
tcp_retransmit_skb(). The skb timestamps are updated but the sacked
flag is not marked with TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS. As a result we'll
get bogus RTT in tcp_clean_rtx_queue() or in tcp_sacktag_one() on
spurious retransmission.

The fix is to apply the sticky flag TCP_EVER_RETRANS to enforce Karn's
check on RTT sampling. However this will disable F-RTO if timeout occurs
after TLP, by resetting undo_marker in tcp_enter_loss(). We relax this
check to only if any pending retransmists are still in-flight.

tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolution

Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT
estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days.

FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control
and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in
tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt'

TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility :
tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution,
so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed
to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel.

In this example ss command displays a srtt of 32 usecs (10Gbit link)

tcp: remove 1ms offset in srtt computation

TCP pacing depends on an accurate srtt estimation.

Current srtt estimation is using jiffie resolution,
and has an artificial offset of at least 1 ms, which can produce
slowdowns when FQ/pacing is used, especially in DC world,
where typical rtt is below 1 ms.

We are planning a switch to usec resolution for linux-3.15,
but in the meantime, this patch removes the 1 ms offset.

All we need is to have tp->srtt minimal value of 1 to differentiate
the case of srtt being initialized or not, not 8.

The problematic behavior was observed on a 40Gbit testbed,
where 32 concurrent netperf were reaching 12Gbps of aggregate
speed, instead of line speed.

This patch also has the effect of reporting more accurate srtt and send
rates to iproute2 ss command as in :

tcp: properly handle stretch acks in slow start

Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets,
regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance
is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by
receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK,
GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of
packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree
N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A
follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1)
to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase.

In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start
(LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The
fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even
though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global
sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the
slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow
start (hystart) enabled by default.

tcp: do not rearm RTO when future data are sacked

Patch ed08495c3 "tcp: use RTT from SACK for RTO" always re-arms RTO upon
obtaining a RTT sample from newly sacked data.

But technically RTO should only be re-armed when the data sent before
the last (re)transmission of write queue head are (s)acked. Otherwise
the RTO may continue to extend during loss recovery on data sent
in the future.

Note that RTTs from ACK or timestamps do not have this problem, as the RTT
source must be from data sent before.

The new RTO re-arm policy is
1) Always re-arm RTO if SND.UNA is advanced
2) Re-arm RTO if sack RTT is available, provided the sacked data was
sent before the last time write_queue_head was sent.

tcp: initialize passive-side sk_pacing_rate after 3WHS

For passive TCP connections, upon receiving the ACK that completes the
3WHS, make sure we set our pacing rate after we get our first RTT
sample.

On passive TCP connections, when we receive the ACK completing the
3WHS we do not take an RTT sample in tcp_ack(), but rather in
tcp_synack_rtt_meas(). So upon receiving the ACK that completes the
3WHS, tcp_ack() leaves sk_pacing_rate at its initial value.

Originally the initial sk_pacing_rate value was 0, so passive-side
connections defaulted to sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs (2 segs) in skbuffs
made in the first RTT. With a default initial cwnd of 10 packets, this
happened to be correct for RTTs 5ms or bigger, so it was hard to
see problems in WAN or emulated WAN testing.

Since 7eec4174ff ("pkt_sched: fq: fix non TCP flows pacing"), the
initial sk_pacing_rate is 0xffffffff. So after that change, passive
TCP connections were keeping this value (and using large numbers of
segments per skbuff) until receiving an ACK for data.

tcp: fix incorrect ca_state in tail loss probe

On receiving an ACK that covers the loss probe sequence, TLP
immediately sets the congestion state to Open, even though some packets
are not recovered and retransmisssion are on the way. The later ACks
may trigger a WARN_ON check in step D of tcp_fastretrans_alert(), e.g.,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989251

The fix is to follow the similar procedure in recovery by calling
tcp_try_keep_open(). The sender switches to Open state if no packets
are retransmissted. Otherwise it goes to Disorder and let subsequent
ACKs move the state to Recovery or Open.

tcp: do not forget FIN in tcp_shifted_skb()

Yuchung found following problem :

There are bugs in the SACK processing code, merging part in
tcp_shift_skb_data(), that incorrectly resets or ignores the sacked

throw away ofo queue (e.g., sack-reneging), the sender will stop

tcp: sndbuf autotuning improvements

tcp_fixup_sndbuf() is underestimating initial send buffer requirements.

It was not noticed because big GSO packets were escaping the limitation,
but with smaller TSO packets (or TSO/GSO/SG off), application hits
sk_sndbuf before having a chance to fill enough packets in socket write
queue.

- initial cwnd can be bigger than 10 for specific routes

- SKB_TRUESIZE() is a bit under real needs in some cases,
because of power-of-two rounding in kmalloc()

- Fast Recovery (RFC 5681 3.2) : Cubic needs 70% factor

- Extra cushion (application might react slowly to POLLOUT)

tcp_v4_conn_req_fastopen() needs to call tcp_init_metrics() before
calling tcp_init_buffer_space()

Then we realize tcp_new_space() should call tcp_fixup_sndbuf()
instead of duplicating this stuff.

Rename tcp_fixup_sndbuf() to tcp_sndbuf_expand() to be more
descriptive.

As mentioned in commit afe4fd062416b ("pkt_sched: fq: Fair Queue packet

SO_MAX_PACING_RATE offers the application the ability to cap the
rate computed by transport layer. Value is in bytes per second.

u32 val = 1000000;
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_MAX_PACING_RATE, &val, sizeof(val));

To be effectively paced, a flow must use FQ packet scheduler.

Note that a packet scheduler takes into account the headers for its
computations. The effective payload rate depends on MSS and retransmits
if any.

I chose to make this pacing rate a SOL_SOCKET option instead of a
TCP one because this can be used by other protocols.

tcp: fix dynamic right sizing

Dynamic Right Sizing (DRS) is supposed to open TCP receive window
automatically, but suffers from two bugs, presented by order
of importance.

1) tcp_rcv_space_adjust() fix :

Using twice the last received amount is very pessimistic,
because it doesn't allow fast recovery or proper slow start
ramp up, if sender wants to increase cwin by 100% every RTT.

copied = bytes received in previous RTT

2*copied = bytes we expect to receive in next RTT

4*copied = bytes we need to advertise in rwin at end of next RTT

DRS is one RTT late, it needs a 4x factor.

If sender is not using ABC, and increases cwin by 50% every rtt,
then we needed 1.5*1.5 = 2.25 factor.
This is probably why this bug was not really noticed.

2) There is no window adjustment after first RTT. DRS triggers only
after the second RTT.
DRS needs two RTT to initialize, so tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() should setup
sk_rcvbuf to allow proper window grow for first two RTT.

This patch increases TCP efficiency particularly for large RTT flows
when autotuning is used at the receiver, and more particularly
in presence of packet losses.

tcp: properly increase rcv_ssthresh for ofo packets

TCP receive window handling is multi staged.

A socket has a memory budget, static or dynamic, in sk_rcvbuf.

Because we do not really know how this memory budget translates to
a TCP window (payload), TCP announces a small initial window
(about 20 MSS).

When a packet is received, we increase TCP rcv_win depending
on the payload/truesize ratio of this packet. Good citizen
packets give a hint that it's reasonable to have rcv_win = sk_rcvbuf/2

This heuristic takes place in tcp_grow_window()

Problem is : We currently call tcp_grow_window() only for in-order
packets.

This means that reorders or packet losses stop proper grow of
rcv_win, and senders are unable to benefit from fast recovery,
or proper reordering level detection.

Really, a packet being stored in OFO queue is not a bad citizen.
It should be part of the game as in-order packets.

In our traces, we very often see sender is limited by linux small
receive windows, even if linux hosts use autotuning (DRS) and should
allow rcv_win to grow to ~3MB.

tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing

After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being
bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO
packets.

One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic
relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having
big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create
micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the
buffering amount.

This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates
the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so
that we try to send one packet every ms.

This field could be set by other transports.

Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets
makes sense to reach line rate.

For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking.

This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments.

A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the
minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2).

A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using
sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing.

This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current
rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up.

sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt

v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on
initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take
into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs

tcp: increase throughput when reordering is high

The stack currently detects reordering and avoid spurious
retransmission very well. However the throughput is sub-optimal under
high reordering because cwnd is increased only if the data is deliverd
in order. I.e., FLAG_DATA_ACKED check in tcp_ack(). The more packet
are reordered the worse the throughput is.

Therefore when reordering is proven high, cwnd should advance whenever
the data is delivered regardless of its ordering. If reordering is low,
conservatively advance cwnd only on ordered deliveries in Open state,
and retain cwnd in Disordered state (RFC5681).

Using netperf on a qdisc setup of 20Mbps BW and random RTT from 45ms
to 55ms (for reordering effect). This change increases TCP throughput
by 20 - 25% to near bottleneck BW.

A special case is the stretched ACK with new SACK and/or ECE mark.
For example, a receiver may receive an out of order or ECN packet with
unacked data buffered because of LRO or delayed ACK. The principle on
such an ACK is to advance cwnd on the cummulative acked part first,

tcp: reset reordering est. selectively on timeout

On timeout the TCP sender unconditionally resets the estimated degree
of network reordering (tp->reordering). The idea behind this is that
the estimate is too large to trigger fast recovery (e.g., due to a IP
path change).

But for example if the sender only had 2 packets outstanding, then a
timeout doesn't tell much about reordering. A sender that learns about
reordering on big writes and loses packets on small writes will end up
falsely retransmitting again and again, especially when reordering is
more likely on big writes.

Therefore the sender should only suspect that tp->reordering is too
high if it could have gone into fast recovery with the (lower) default
estimate.

tcp: use RTT from SACK for RTO

If RTT is not available because Karn's check has failed or no
new packet is acked, use the RTT measured from SACK to estimate
the RTO. The sender can continue to estimate the RTO during loss
recovery or reordering event upon receiving non-partial ACKs.

This also changes when the RTO is re-armed. Previously it is
only re-armed when some data is cummulatively acknowledged (i.e.,
SND.UNA advances), but now it is re-armed whenever RTT estimator
is updated. This feature is particularly useful to reduce spurious
timeout for buffer bloat including cellular carriers [1], and
RTT estimation on reordering events.

tcp: measure RTT from new SACK

Take RTT sample if an ACK selectively acks some sequences that
have never been retransmitted. The Karn's algorithm does not apply
even if that ACK (s)acks other retransmitted sequences, because it
must been generated by an original but perhaps out-of-order packet.
There is no ambiguity. In case when multiple blocks are newly
sacked because of ACK losses the earliest block is used to
measure RTT, similar to cummulative ACKs.

Such RTT samples allow the sender to estimate the RTO during loss
recovery and packet reordering events. It is still useful even with
TCP timestamps. That's because during these events the SND.UNA may
not advance preventing RTT samples from TS ECR (thus the FLAG_ACKED
check before calling tcp_ack_update_rtt()). Therefore this new
RTT source is complementary to existing ACK and TS RTT mechanisms.

This patch does not update the RTO. It is done in the next patch.

tcp: introduce a per-route knob for quick ack

In previous discussions, I tried to find some reasonable heuristics
for delayed ACK, however this seems not possible, according to Eric:

"ACKS might also be delayed because of bidirectional
traffic, and is more controlled by the application
response time. TCP stack can not easily estimate it."

"ACK can be incredibly useful to recover from losses in
a short time.

The vast majority of TCP sessions are small lived, and we
send one ACK per received segment anyway at beginning or
retransmits to let the sender smoothly increase its cwnd,
so an auto-tuning facility wont help them that much."

and according to David:

"ACKs are the only information we have to detect loss.

And, for the same reasons that TCP VEGAS is fundamentally
broken, we cannot measure the pipe or some other
receiver-side-visible piece of information to determine
when it's "safe" to stretch ACK.

And even if it's "safe", we should not do it so that losses are
accurately detected and we don't spuriously retransmit.

The only way to know when the bandwidth increases is to
"test" it, by sending more and more packets until drops happen.
That's why all successful congestion control algorithms must
operate on explicited tested pieces of information.

Similarly, it's not really possible to universally know if
it's safe to stretch ACK or not."

It still makes sense to enable or disable quick ack mode like
what TCP_QUICK_ACK does.

Similar to TCP_QUICK_ACK option, but for people who can't
modify the source code and still wants to control
TCP delayed ACK behavior. As David suggested, this should belong
to per-path scope, since different pathes may want different
behaviors.

Linux sends new unset data during disorder and recovery state if all

But currently it's not the case on the first round trip in either
normal or Fast Open connection, beucase the initial receive window
is identical to (expected) sender's initial congestion window. The

Upon detecting spurious fast retransmit via timestamps during recovery,
use PRR to clock out new data packet instead of retransmission. Once
all retransmission are proven spurious, the sender then reverts the
cwnd reduction and congestion state to open or disorder.

The current code does the opposite: it undoes cwnd as soon as any
retransmission is spurious and continues to retransmit until all
data are acked. This nullifies the point to undo the cwnd because
the sender is still retransmistting spuriously. This patch fixes

tcp: bug fix in proportional rate reduction.

This patch is a fix for a bug triggering newly_acked_sacked < 0
in tcp_ack(.).

The bug is triggered by sacked_out decreasing relative to prior_sacked,
but packets_out remaining the same as pior_packets. This is because the
snapshot of prior_packets is taken after tcp_sacktag_write_queue() while
prior_sacked is captured before tcp_sacktag_write_queue(). The problem
is: tcp_sacktag_write_queue (tcp_match_skb_to_sack() -> tcp_fragment)
adjusts the pcount for packets_out and sacked_out (MSS change or other
reason). As a result, this delta in pcount is reflected in
(prior_sacked - sacked_out) but not in (prior_packets - packets_out).

This patch does the following:
1) initializes prior_packets at the start of tcp_ack() so as to
capture the delta in packets_out created by tcp_fragment.
2) introduces a new "previous_packets_out" variable that snapshots
packets_out right before tcp_clean_rtx_queue, so pkts_acked can be
correctly computed as before.
3) Computes pkts_acked using previous_packets_out, and computes
newly_acked_sacked using prior_packets.

tcp: remove bad timeout logic in fast recovery

tcp_timeout_skb() was intended to trigger fast recovery on timeout,
unfortunately in reality it often causes spurious retransmission
storms during fast recovery. The particular sign is a fast retransmit
over the highest sacked sequence (SND.FACK).

Currently the RTO timer re-arming (as in RFC6298) offers a nice cushion
to avoid spurious timeout: when SND.UNA advances the sender re-arms
RTO and extends the timeout by icsk_rto. The sender does not offset
the time elapsed since the packet at SND.UNA was sent.

But if the next (DUP)ACK arrives later than ~RTTVAR and triggers
tcp_fastretrans_alert(), then tcp_timeout_skb() will mark any packet
sent before the icsk_rto interval lost, including one that's above the
highest sacked sequence. Most likely a large part of scorebard will be
marked.

If most packets are not lost then the subsequent DUPACKs with new SACK
blocks will cause the sender to continue to retransmit packets beyond
SND.FACK spuriously. Even if only one packet is lost the sender may
falsely retransmit almost the entire window.

The situation becomes common in the world of bufferbloat: the RTT
continues to grow as the queue builds up but RTTVAR remains small and
close to the minimum 200ms. If a data packet is lost and the DUPACK
triggered by the next data packet is slightly delayed, then a spurious
retransmission storm forms.

As the original comment on tcp_timeout_skb() suggests: the usefulness
of this feature is questionable. It also wastes cycles walking the
sack scoreboard and is actually harmful because of false recovery.

It's time to remove this.

(ecr 200 should be ecr 300 in packets 3 & 4)

Problem is tcp_ack() can trigger send of new packets (retransmits),

Fix this by calling tcp_replace_ts_recent() from tcp_ack() after the

tcp: implement RFC5682 F-RTO

This patch implements F-RTO (foward RTO recovery):

When the first retransmission after timeout is acknowledged, F-RTO
sends new data instead of old data. If the next ACK acknowledges
some never-retransmitted data, then the timeout was spurious and the
congestion state is reverted. Otherwise if the next ACK selectively
acknowledges the new data, then the timeout was genuine and the
loss recovery continues. This idea applies to recurring timeouts
as well. While F-RTO sends different data during timeout recovery,
it does not (and should not) change the congestion control.

The implementaion follows the three steps of SACK enhanced algorithm
(section 3) in RFC5682. Step 1 is in tcp_enter_loss(). Step 2 and
3 are in tcp_process_loss(). The basic version is not supported
because SACK enhanced version also works for non-SACK connections.

The new implementation is functionally in parity with the old F-RTO
implementation except the one case where it increases undo events:
In addition to the RFC algorithm, a spurious timeout may be detected
without sending data in step 2, as long as the SACK confirms not
all the original data are dropped. When this happens, the sender
will undo the cwnd and perhaps enter fast recovery instead. This
additional check increases the F-RTO undo events by 5x compared
to the prior implementation on Google Web servers, since the sender
often does not have new data to send for HTTP.

Note F-RTO may detect spurious timeout before Eifel with timestamps
does so.

tcp: refactor F-RTO

The patch series refactor the F-RTO feature (RFC4138/5682).

This is to simplify the loss recovery processing. Existing F-RTO
was developed during the experimental stage (RFC4138) and has
many experimental features. It takes a separate code path from
the traditional timeout processing by overloading CA_Disorder
instead of using CA_Loss state. This complicates CA_Disorder state
handling because it's also used for handling dubious ACKs and undos.
While the algorithm in the RFC does not change the congestion control,
the implementation intercepts congestion control in various places
(e.g., frto_cwnd in tcp_ack()).

The new code implements newer F-RTO RFC5682 using CA_Loss processing
path. F-RTO becomes a small extension in the timeout processing
and interfaces with congestion control and Eifel undo modules.
It lets congestion control (module) determines how many to send
independently. F-RTO only chooses what to send in order to detect
spurious retranmission. If timeout is found spurious it invokes
existing Eifel undo algorithms like DSACK or TCP timestamp based
detection.

The first patch removes all F-RTO code except the sysctl_tcp_frto is
left for the new implementation. Since CA_EVENT_FRTO is removed, TCP
westwood now computes ssthresh on regular timeout CA_EVENT_LOSS event.

tcp: TLP loss detection.

This is the second of the TLP patch series; it augments the basic TLP
algorithm with a loss detection scheme.

This patch implements a mechanism for loss detection when a Tail
loss probe retransmission plugs a hole thereby masking packet loss
from the sender. The loss detection algorithm relies on counting
TLP dupacks as outlined in Sec. 3 of:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01

The basic idea is: Sender keeps track of TLP "episode" upon
retransmission of a TLP packet. An episode ends when the sender receives
an ACK above the SND.NXT (tracked by tlp_high_seq) at the time of the
episode. We want to make sure that before the episode ends the sender
receives a "TLP dupack", indicating that the TLP retransmission was
unnecessary, so there was no loss/hole that needed plugging. If the
sender gets no TLP dupack before the end of the episode, then it reduces
ssthresh and the congestion window, because the TLP packet arriving at
the receiver probably plugged a hole.

tcp: Tail loss probe (TLP)

This patch series implement the Tail loss probe (TLP) algorithm described
in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01. The
first patch implements the basic algorithm.

TLP's goal is to reduce tail latency of short transactions. It achieves
this by converting retransmission timeouts (RTOs) occuring due
to tail losses (losses at end of transactions) into fast recovery.
TLP transmits one packet in two round-trips when a connection is in
Open state and isn't receiving any ACKs. The transmitted packet, aka
loss probe, can be either new or a retransmission. When there is tail
loss, the ACK from a loss probe triggers FACK/early-retransmit based
fast recovery, thus avoiding a costly RTO. In the absence of loss,
there is no change in the connection state.

PTO stands for probe timeout. It is a timer event indicating
that an ACK is overdue and triggers a loss probe packet. The PTO value
is set to max(2*SRTT, 10ms) and is adjusted to account for delayed
ACK timer when there is only one oustanding packet.

TLP Algorithm

On transmission of new data in Open state:
-> packets_out > 1: schedule PTO in max(2*SRTT, 10ms).
-> packets_out == 1: schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms)
-> PTO = min(PTO, RTO)

Conditions for scheduling PTO:
-> Connection is in Open state.
-> Connection is either cwnd limited or no new data to send.
-> Number of probes per tail loss episode is limited to one.
-> Connection is SACK enabled.

When PTO fires:
new_segment_exists:
-> transmit new segment.
-> packets_out++. cwnd remains same.

no_new_packet:
-> retransmit the last segment.
Its ACK triggers FACK or early retransmit based recovery.

ACK path:
-> rearm RTO at start of ACK processing.
-> reschedule PTO if need be.

In addition, the patch includes a small variation to the Early Retransmit
(ER) algorithm, such that ER and TLP together can in principle recover any

net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation.

Patch cef401de7be8c4e (net: fix possible wrong checksum
generation) fixed wrong checksum calculation but it broke TSO by
defining new GSO type but not a netdev feature for that type.
net_gso_ok() would not allow hardware checksum/segmentation
offload of such packets without the feature.

Following patch fixes TSO and wrong checksum. This patch uses
same logic that Eric Dumazet used. Patch introduces new flag
SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG if at least one frag can be modified by
the user. but SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is kept in skb shared
info tx_flags rather than gso_type.

tx_flags is better compared to gso_type since we can have skb with
shared frag without gso packet. It does not link SHARED_FRAG to
GSO, So there is no need to define netdev feature for this.

tcp: send packets with a socket timestamp

A socket timestamp is a sum of the global tcp_time_stamp and
a per-socket offset.

A socket offset is added in places where externally visible
tcp timestamp option is parsed/initialized.

Connections in the SYN_RECV state are not supported, global
tcp_time_stamp is used for them, because repair mode doesn't support
this state. In a future it can be implemented by the similar way
as for TIME_WAIT sockets.

net: fix possible wrong checksum generation

wrong TX checksum if skb has fragments that are overwritten
by the user between the checksum computation and transmit.

He suggested to linearize skbs but this extra copy can be
avoided for normal tcp skbs cooked by tcp_sendmsg().

This patch introduces a new SKB_GSO_SHARED_FRAG flag, set
in skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type if at least one frag can be
modified by the user.

Typical sources of such possible overwrites are {vm}splice(),
sendfile(), and macvtap/tun/virtio_net drivers.

tcp: bug fix Fast Open client retransmission

If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the
remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery
state variables like tp->retrans_out in Open state. If loss recovery
happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON
check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends
SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends
another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks.

Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not
update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a
smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission
needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout
or other loss recovery events.

We can update our view of peer tsval from a frame that is

This makes timestamps enabled sessions vulnerable to injection of

tcp: better retrans tracking for defer-accept

For passive TCP connections using TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT facility,
we incorrectly increment req->retrans each time timeout triggers
while no SYNACK is sent.

SYNACK are not sent for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT that were established (for
which we received the ACK from client). Only the last SYNACK is sent
so that we can receive again an ACK from client, to move the req into
accept queue. We plan to change this later to avoid the useless
retransmit (and potential problem as this SYNACK could be lost)

TCP_INFO later gives wrong information to user, claiming imaginary
retransmits.

Decouple req->retrans field into two independent fields :

num_retrans : number of retransmit
num_timeout : number of timeouts

num_timeout is the counter that is incremented at each timeout,
regardless of actual SYNACK being sent or not, and used to
compute the exponential timeout.

Introduce inet_rtx_syn_ack() helper to increment num_retrans
only if ->rtx_syn_ack() succeeded.

Use inet_rtx_syn_ack() from tcp_check_req() to increment num_retrans
when we re-send a SYNACK in answer to a (retransmitted) SYN.
Prior to this patch, we were not counting these retransmits.

Change tcp_v[46]_rtx_synack() to increment TCP_MIB_RETRANSSEGS
only if a synack packet was successfully queued.

tcp: Reject invalid ack_seq to Fast Open sockets

A packet with an invalid ack_seq may cause a TCP Fast Open socket to switch
to the unexpected TCP_CLOSING state, triggering a BUG_ON kernel panic.

When a FIN packet with an invalid ack_seq# arrives at a socket in
the TCP_FIN_WAIT1 state, rather than discarding the packet, the current
code will accept the FIN, causing state transition to TCP_CLOSING.

This may be a small deviation from RFC793, which seems to say that the
packet should be dropped. Unfortunately I did not expect this case for
Fast Open hence it will trigger a BUG_ON panic.

It turns out there is really nothing bad about a TFO socket going into
TCP_CLOSING state so I could just remove the BUG_ON statements. But after
some thought I think it's better to treat this case like TCP_SYN_RECV
and return a RST to the confused peer who caused the unacceptable ack_seq
to be generated in the first place.

tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - record retransmits after 3WHS

When recording the number of SYNACK retransmits for servers using TCP
Fast Open, fix the code to ensure that we copy over the retransmit
count from the request_sock after we receive the ACK that completes
the 3-way handshake.

The story here is similar to that of SYNACK RTT
measurements. Previously we were always doing this in
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock(). However, for TCP Fast Open connections
tcp_v4_conn_req_fastopen() calls tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() at the time we
receive the SYN. So for TFO we must copy the final SYNACK retransmit
count in tcp_rcv_state_process().

Note that copying over the SYNACK retransmit count will give us the
correct count since, as is mentioned in a comment in
tcp_retransmit_timer(), before we receive an ACK for our SYN-ACK a TFO
passive connection does not retransmit anything else (e.g., data or
FIN segments).

A TCP Fast Open (TFO) passive connection must call both

This is needed to parallel all the action that happens for a non-TFO

we call both tcp_check_req() and tcp_validate_incoming().

For example, upon receiving the ACK that completes the 3WHS, we need
to call tcp_fast_parse_options() and update ts_recent based on the
incoming timestamp value in the ACK.

One symptom of the problem with the previous code was that for passive
TFO connections using TCP timestamps, the outgoing TS ecr values

Previously we were always taking an RTT sample in

tcp_v4_conn_req_fastopen() calls tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() at the time we

to take the RTT sample.

To fix this, we wait until after TFO calls tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock()
before we set the snt_synack timestamp, since tcp_synack_rtt_meas()
already ensures that we only take a SYNACK RTT sample if snt_synack is
non-zero. To be careful, we only take a snt_synack timestamp when

tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - main code path

This patch adds the main processing path to complete the TFO server
patches.

A TFO request (i.e., SYN+data packet with a TFO cookie option) first
gets processed in tcp_v4_conn_request(). If it passes the various TFO
checks by tcp_fastopen_check(), a child socket will be created right
away to be accepted by applications, rather than waiting for the 3WHS
to finish.

In additon to the use of TFO cookie, a simple max_qlen based scheme
is put in place to fend off spoofed TFO attack.

When a valid ACK comes back to tcp_rcv_state_process(), it will cause
the state of the child socket to switch from either TCP_SYN_RECV to
TCP_ESTABLISHED, or TCP_FIN_WAIT1 to TCP_FIN_WAIT2. At this time
retransmission will resume for any unack'ed (data, FIN,...) segments.

In addition, it includes the following:

1. a new TCP_FASTOPEN socket option an application must call to
supply a max backlog allowed in order to enable TFO on its listener.

2. A number of key data structures:
"fastopen_rsk" in tcp_sock - for a big socket to access its
request_sock for retransmission and ack processing purpose. It is
non-NULL iff 3WHS not completed.

"fastopenq" in request_sock_queue - points to a per Fast Open
listener data structure "fastopen_queue" to keep track of qlen (# of
outstanding Fast Open requests) and max_qlen, among other things.

"listener" in tcp_request_sock - to point to the original listener
for book-keeping purpose, i.e., to maintain qlen against max_qlen
as part of defense against IP spoofing attack.

3. various data structure and functions, many in tcp_fastopen.c, to
support server side Fast Open cookie operations, including
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen_key to allow manual rekeying.

The cwnd reduction in fast recovery is based on the number of packets
newly delivered per ACK. For non-sack connections every DUPACK
signifies a packet has been delivered, but the sender mistakenly
skips counting them for cwnd reduction.

The fix is to compute newly_acked_sacked after DUPACKs are accounted
in sacked_out for non-sack connections.

tcp: ecn: dont delay ACKS after CE

While playing with CoDel and ECN marking, I discovered a
non optimal behavior of receiver of CE (Congestion Encountered)
segments.

In pathological cases, sender has reduced its cwnd to low values,
and receiver delays its ACK (by 40 ms).

While RFC 3168 6.1.3 (The TCP Receiver) doesn't explicitly recommend
to send immediate ACKS, we believe its better to not delay ACKS, because
a CE segment should give same signal than a dropped segment, and its
quite important to reduce RTT to give ECE/CWR signals as fast as
possible.

Note we already call tcp_enter_quickack_mode() from TCP_ECN_check_ce()
if we receive a retransmit, for the same reason.

netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock

This patch series is based on top of "Swap-over-NBD without deadlocking
v15" as it depends on the same reservation of PF_MEMALLOC reserves logic.

When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they
create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it
with swapon. In diskless systems this is not an option so if swap if
required then swapping over the network is considered. The two likely
scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the
form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin
clients.

The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block
Device (NBD) for swap but this is not always an option. There is no
guarantee that the network attached storage (NAS) device is running Linux
or supports NBD. However, it is likely that it supports NFS so there are
users that want support for swapping over NFS despite any performance
concern. Some distributions currently carry patches that support swapping
over NFS but it would be preferable to support it in the mainline kernel.

Patch 1 avoids a stream-specific deadlock that potentially affects TCP.

Patch 2 is a small modification to SELinux to avoid using PFMEMALLOC
reserves.

Patch 3 adds three helpers for filesystems to handle swap cache pages.
For example, page_file_mapping() returns page->mapping for
file-backed pages and the address_space of the underlying
swap file for swap cache pages.

Patch 4 adds two address_space_operations to allow a filesystem
to pin all metadata relevant to a swapfile in memory. Upon
successful activation, the swapfile is marked SWP_FILE and
the address space operation ->direct_IO is used for writing
and ->readpage for reading in swap pages.

Patch 5 notes that patch 3 is bolting
filesystem-specific-swapfile-support onto the side and that
the default handlers have different information to what
is available to the filesystem. This patch refactors the
code so that there are generic handlers for each of the new
address_space operations.

Patch 6 adds an API to allow a vector of kernel addresses to be
translated to struct pages and pinned for IO.

Patch 7 adds support for using highmem pages for swap by kmapping
the pages before calling the direct_IO handler.

Patch 8 updates NFS to use the helpers from patch 3 where necessary.

Patch 9 avoids setting PF_private on PG_swapcache pages within NFS.

Patch 10 implements the new swapfile-related address_space operations
for NFS and teaches the direct IO handler how to manage
kernel addresses.

Patch 11 prevents page allocator recursions in NFS by using GFP_NOIO
where appropriate.

Patch 12 fixes a NULL pointer dereference that occurs when using
swap-over-NFS.

With the patches applied, it is possible to mount a swapfile that is on an
NFS filesystem. Swap performance is not great with a swap stress test
taking roughly twice as long to complete than if the swap device was
backed by NBD.

This patch: netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock

It could happen that all !SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets have buffered so much data
that we're over the global rmem limit. This will prevent SOCK_MEMALLOC
buffers from receiving data, which will prevent userspace from running,
which is needed to reduce the buffered data.

Fix this by exempting the SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets from the rmem limit. Once
this change it applied, it is important that sockets that set
SOCK_MEMALLOC do not clear the flag until the socket is being torn down.
If this happens, a warning is generated and the tokens reclaimed to avoid
accounting errors until the bug is fixed.

net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts

commit c6cffba4ffa2 (ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.)
added various fatal races with dst refcounts.

crashes happen on tcp workloads if routes are added/deleted at the same
time.

The dst_free() calls from free_fib_info_rcu() are clearly racy.

We need instead regular dst refcounting (dst_release()) and make
sure dst_release() is aware of RCU grace periods :

Add DST_RCU_FREE flag so that dst_release() respects an RCU grace period
before dst destruction for cached dst

Introduce a new inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper, using atomic_inc_not_zero()
to make sure we dont increase a zero refcount (On a dst currently
waiting an rcu grace period before destruction)

rt_cache_route() must take a reference on the new cached route, and
release it if was not able to install it.

With this patch, my machines survive various benchmarks.

tcp: perform DMA to userspace only if there is a task waiting for it

Back in 2006, commit 1a2449a87b ("[I/OAT]: TCP recv offload to I/OAT")
added support for receive offloading to IOAT dma engine if available.

The code in tcp_rcv_established() tries to perform early DMA copy if
applicable. It however does so without checking whether the userspace
task is actually expecting the data in the buffer.

This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but there is a corner
case where this doesn't work -- and that's when MSG_TRUNC flag to
recvmsg() is used.

If the IOAT dma engine is not used, the code properly checks whether
there is a valid ucopy.task and the socket is owned by userspace, but
misses the check in the dmaengine case.

This problem can be observed in real trivially -- for example 'tbench' is a
good reproducer, as it makes a heavy use of MSG_TRUNC. On systems utilizing
IOAT, you will soon find tbench waiting indefinitely in sk_wait_data(), as they
have been already early-copied in tcp_rcv_established() using dma engine.

This patch introduces the same check we are performing in the simple
iovec copy case to the IOAT case as well. It fixes the indefinite
recvmsg(MSG_TRUNC) hangs.

rt->rt_iif is going to be encoded differently, so that we can
legitimately cache input routes in the FIB info more aggressively.

When the input interface is "use SKB device index" the rt->rt_iif will
be set to zero.

This forces us to move the TCP RX dst cache installation into the ipv4
specific code, and as well it should since doing the route caching for
ipv6 is pointless at the moment since it is not inspected in the ipv6

On paths with firewalls dropping SYN with data or experimental TCP options,
Fast Open connections will have experience SYN timeout and bad performance.
The solution is to track such incidents in the cookie cache and disables
Fast Open temporarily.

Since only the original SYN includes data and/or Fast Open option, the
SYN-ACK has some tell-tale sign (tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()) to detect
such drops. If a path has recurring Fast Open SYN drops, Fast Open is
disabled for 2^(recurring_losses) minutes starting from four minutes up to
roughly one and half day. sendmsg with MSG_FASTOPEN flag will succeed but

without clashing the scarce(2) experimental options available for TCP.

When the draft status becomes standard (maybe), the client should

ipv4: Early TCP socket demux.

Input packet processing for local sockets involves two major demuxes.
One for the route and one for the socket.

But we can optimize this down to one demux for certain kinds of local
sockets.

Currently we only do this for established TCP sockets, but it could
at least in theory be expanded to other kinds of connections.

If a TCP socket is established then it's identity is fully specified.

This means that whatever input route was used during the three-way
handshake must work equally well for the rest of the connection since
the keys will not change.

Once we move to established state, we cache the receive packet's input
route to use later.

Like the existing cached route in sk->sk_dst_cache used for output
packets, we have to check for route invalidations using dst->obsolete
and dst->ops->check().

Early demux occurs outside of a socket locked section, so when a route
invalidation occurs we defer the fixup of sk->sk_rx_dst until we are
actually inside of established state packet processing and thus have
the socket locked.

I also made a slight tweak to the code for handling frags when we are a

tcp: Fix truesize accounting in tcp_try_coalesce

This patch addresses several issues in the way we were tracking the
truesize in tcp_try_coalesce.

First it was using ksize which prevents us from having a 0 sized head frag
and getting a usable result. To resolve that this patch uses the end
pointer which is set based off either ksize, or the frag_size supplied in
build_skb. This allows us to compute the original truesize of the entire
buffer and remove that value leaving us with just what was added as pages.

The second issue was the use of skb->len if there is a mergeable head frag.
We should only need to remove the size of an data aligned sk_buff from our
current skb->truesize to compute the delta for a buffer with a reused head.
By using skb->len the value of truesize was being artificially reduced
which means that head frags could use more memory than buffers using
standard allocations.

net: Stop decapitating clones that have a head_frag

This change is meant ot prevent stealing the skb->head to use as a page in
the event that the skb->head was cloned. This allows the other clones to
track each other via shinfo->dataref.

Without this we break down to two methods for tracking the reference count,
one being dataref, the other being the page count. As a result it becomes
difficult to track how many references there are to skb->head.

Function tcp_queue_rcv() is moved a bit to allow its call from

net: take care of cloned skbs in tcp_try_coalesce()

Before stealing fragments or skb head, we must make sure skbs are not
cloned.

Alexander was worried about destination skb being cloned : In bridge
setups, a driver could be fooled if skb->data_len would not match skb
nr_frags.

If source skb is cloned, we must take references on pages instead.

Bug happened using tcpdump (if not using mmap())

tcp: change tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_rmem[2]

tcp_adv_win_scale default value is 2, meaning we expect a good citizen
skb to have skb->len / skb->truesize ratio of 75% (3/4)

In 2.6 kernels we (mis)accounted for typical MSS=1460 frame :
1536 + 64 + 256 = 1856 'estimated truesize', and 1856 * 3/4 = 1392.
So these skbs were considered as not bloated.

With recent truesize fixes, a typical MSS=1460 frame truesize is now the
more precise :
2048 + 256 = 2304. But 2304 * 3/4 = 1728.
So these skb are not good citizen anymore, because 1460 < 1728

(GRO can escape this problem because it build skbs with a too low
truesize.)

This also means tcp advertises a too optimistic window for a given
allocated rcvspace : When receiving frames, sk_rmem_alloc can hit
sk_rcvbuf limit and we call tcp_prune_queue()/tcp_collapse() too often,
especially when application is slow to drain its receive queue or in
case of losses (netperf is fast, scp is slow). This is a major latency
source.

We should adjust the len/truesize ratio to 50% instead of 75%

This patch :

1) changes tcp_adv_win_scale default to 1 instead of 2

2) increase tcp_rmem[2] limit from 4MB to 6MB to take into account
better truesize tracking and to allow autotuning tcp receive window to
reach same value than before. Note that same amount of kernel memory is
consumed compared to 2.6 kernels.

tcp: early retransmit

This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP.
It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are
less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout.

While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering
makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter
false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement
a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays
entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently
ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection
after the first reordering event. A large scale web server
experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in
section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”,
IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf

Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The
differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only
used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is
enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if
people think it's a good idea.

ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans:
0: Disables ER

1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4.

2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay
entering fast recovery by RTT/4.

Note: mode 2 is implemented in the third part of this patch series.

tcp: makes tcp_try_coalesce aware of skb->head_frag

TCP coalesce can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a
page fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.

We had to disable coalescing in this case, for performance reasons.

We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself.

This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copies, since a
less sk_buff are fetched.

This makes receive and ofo queues shorter and thus reduce cache line
misses in TCP stack.

This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"

We extend this idea to fragged skbs, as their truesize can be heavy.

ixgbe for example uses 256+1024+PAGE_SIZE/2 = 3328 bytes per segment.

Use this coalescing strategy for receive queue too.

This contributes to reduce number of tcp collapses, at minimal cost, and
reduces memory overhead and packets drops.

The intent in the code was to only use the 'm' measurement if it was a

but 'new_sample' had, this comparison would nearly always succeed,
leading us to erroneously set our receive-side RTT estimate to the 'm'

tcp: reduce out_of_order memory use

With increasing receive window sizes, but speed of light not improved
that much, out of order queue can contain a huge number of skbs, waiting
to be moved to receive_queue when missing packets can fill the holes.

Some devices happen to use fat skbs (truesize of 4096 + sizeof(struct
sk_buff)) to store regular (MTU <= 1500) frames. This makes highly
probable sk_rmem_alloc hits sk_rcvbuf limit, which can be 4Mbytes in
many cases.

When limit is hit, tcp stack calls tcp_collapse_ofo_queue(), a true
latency killer and cpu cache blower.

Doing the coalescing attempt each time we add a frame in ofo queue
permits to keep memory use tight and in many cases avoid the
tcp_collapse() thing later.

Tested on various wireless setups (b43, ath9k, ...) known to use big skb
truesize, this patch removed the "packets collapsed in receive queue due
to low socket buffer" I had before.

This also reduced average memory used by tcp sockets.

tcp: fix tcp_shift_skb_data() to not shift SACKed data below snd_una

This commit fixes tcp_shift_skb_data() so that it does not shift
SACKed data below snd_una.

This fixes an issue whose symptoms exactly match reports showing
tp->sacked_out going negative since 3.3.0-rc4 (see "WARNING: at
net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:3418" thread on netdev).

Since 2008 (832d11c5cd076abc0aa1eaf7be96c81d1a59ce41)
tcp_shift_skb_data() had been shifting SACKed ranges that were below
snd_una. It checked that the *end* of the skb it was about to shift
from was above snd_una, but did not check that the end of the actual
shifted range was above snd_una; this commit adds that check.

Shifting SACKed ranges below snd_una is problematic because for such
ranges tcp_sacktag_one() short-circuits: it does not declare anything
as SACKed and does not increase sacked_out.

Before the fixes in commits cc9a672ee522d4805495b98680f4a3db5d0a0af9
and daef52bab1fd26e24e8e9578f8fb33ba1d0cb412, shifting SACKed ranges
below snd_una happened to work because tcp_shifted_skb() was always
(incorrectly) passing in to tcp_sacktag_one() an skb whose end_seq
tcp_shift_skb_data() had already guaranteed was beyond snd_una. Hence
tcp_sacktag_one() never short-circuited and always increased
tp->sacked_out in this case.

After those two fixes, my testing has verified that shifting SACKed
ranges below snd_una could cause tp->sacked_out to go negative with
the following sequence of events:

(1) tcp_shift_skb_data() sees an skb whose end_seq is beyond snd_una,
then shifts a prefix of that skb that is below snd_una

(2) tcp_shifted_skb() increments the packet count of the
already-SACKed prev sk_buff

(3) tcp_sacktag_one() sees the end of the new SACKed range is below
snd_una, so it short-circuits and doesn't increase tp->sacked_out

(5) tcp_clean_rtx_queue() sees the SACKed skb has been ACKed,
decrements tp->sacked_out by this "inflated" pcount that was
missing a matching increase in tp->sacked_out, and hence
tp->sacked_out underflows to a u32 like 0xFFFFFFFF, which casted
to s32 is negative.

(6) this leads to the warnings seen in the recent "WARNING: at
net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:3418" thread on the netdev list; e.g.:
tcp_input.c:3418 WARN_ON((int)tp->sacked_out < 0);

More generally, I think this bug can be tickled in some cases where
two or more ACKs from the receiver are lost and then a DSACK arrives
that is immediately above an existing SACKed skb in the write queue.

This fix changes tcp_shift_skb_data() to abort this sequence at step
(1) in the scenario above by noticing that the bytes are below snd_una
and not shifting them.

tcp: don't fragment SACKed skbs in tcp_mark_head_lost()

In tcp_mark_head_lost() we should not attempt to fragment a SACKed skb
to mark the first portion as lost. This is for two primary reasons:

(1) tcp_shifted_skb() coalesces adjacent regions of SACKed skbs. When
doing this, it preserves the sum of their packet counts in order to
reflect the real-world dynamics on the wire. But given that skbs can
have remainders that do not align to MSS boundaries, this packet count
preservation means that for SACKed skbs there is not necessarily a
direct linear relationship between tcp_skb_pcount(skb) and
skb->len. Thus tcp_mark_head_lost()'s previous attempts to fragment
off and mark as lost a prefix of length (packets - oldcnt)*mss from
SACKed skbs were leading to occasional failures of the WARN_ON(len >
skb->len) in tcp_fragment() (which used to be a BUG_ON(); see the
recent "crash in tcp_fragment" thread on netdev).

(2) there is no real point in fragmenting off part of a SACKed skb and
calling tcp_skb_mark_lost() on it, since tcp_skb_mark_lost() is a NOP
for SACKed skbs.

tcp: fix false reordering signal in tcp_shifted_skb

When tcp_shifted_skb() shifts bytes from the skb that is currently
pointed to by 'highest_sack' then the increment of
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq implicitly advances tcp_highest_sack_seq(). This
implicit advancement, combined with the recent fix to pass the correct
SACKed range into tcp_sacktag_one(), caused tcp_sacktag_one() to think
that the newly SACKed range was before the tcp_highest_sack_seq(),
leading to a call to tcp_update_reordering() with a degree of
reordering matching the size of the newly SACKed range (typically just
1 packet, which is a NOP, but potentially larger).

This commit fixes this by simply calling tcp_sacktag_one() before the
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq advancement that can advance our notion of the
highest SACKed sequence.

Correspondingly, we can simplify the code a little now that
tcp_shifted_skb() should update the lost_cnt_hint in all cases where
skb == tp->lost_skb_hint.

This commit also removes a special-case adjustment to lost_cnt_hint in
tcp_shifted_skb() since the pre-existing adjustment of lost_cnt_hint
in tcp_sacktag_one() now properly handles this things now that the
correct start sequence number is passed in.

tcp: allow tcp_sacktag_one() to tag ranges not aligned with skbs

This commit allows callers of tcp_sacktag_one() to pass in sequence
ranges that do not align with skb boundaries, as tcp_shifted_skb()
needs to do in an upcoming fix in this patch series.

In fact, now tcp_sacktag_one() does not need to depend on an input skb
at all, which makes its semantics and dependencies more clear.

tcp: detect loss above high_seq in recovery

Correctly implement a loss detection heuristic: New sequences (above
high_seq) sent during the fast recovery are deemed lost when higher
sequences are SACKed.

Current code does not catch these losses, because tcp_mark_head_lost()
does not check packets beyond high_seq. The fix is straight-forward by
checking packets until the highest sacked packet. In addition, all the
FLAG_DATA_LOST logic are in-effective and redundant and can be removed.

Update the loss heuristic comments. The algorithm above is documented
as heuristic B, but it is redundant too because heuristic A already
covers B.

Note that this change only marks some forward-retransmitted packets LOST.
It does NOT forbid TCP performing further CWR on new losses. A potential
follow-up patch under preparation is to perform another CWR on "new"
losses such as
1) sequence above high_seq is lost (by resetting high_seq to snd_nxt)
2) retransmission is lost.

tcp: allow undo from reordered DSACKs

Previously, SACK-enabled connections hung around in TCP_CA_Disorder
state while snd_una==high_seq, just waiting to accumulate DSACKs and
hopefully undo a cwnd reduction. This could and did lead to the
following unfortunate scenario: if some incoming ACKs advance snd_una
beyond high_seq then we were setting undo_marker to 0 and moving to
TCP_CA_Open, so if (due to reordering in the ACK return path) we
shortly thereafter received a DSACK then we were no longer able to
undo the cwnd reduction.

The change: Simplify the congestion avoidance state machine by
removing the behavior where SACK-enabled connections hung around in
the TCP_CA_Disorder state just waiting for DSACKs. Instead, when
snd_una advances to high_seq or beyond we typically move to
TCP_CA_Open immediately and allow an undo in either TCP_CA_Open or
TCP_CA_Disorder if we later receive enough DSACKs.

Other patches in this series will provide other changes that are
necessary to fully fix this problem.

tcp: use SACKs and DSACKs that arrive on ACKs below snd_una

The bug: When the ACK field is below snd_una (which can happen when
ACKs are reordered), senders ignored DSACKs (preventing undo) and did
not call tcp_fastretrans_alert, so they did not increment
prr_delivered to reflect newly-SACKed sequence ranges, and did not
call tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue, thus passing up chances to send out
more retransmitted and new packets based on any newly-SACKed packets.

The change: When the ACK field is below snd_una (the "old_ack" goto

This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various
assumptions into a single place.

At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of
skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of
reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks.

Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are
aligned to cache lines, as before.

Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of
misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory
limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a

tcp: properly update lost_cnt_hint during shifting

lost_skb_hint is used by tcp_mark_head_lost() to mark the first unhandled skb.
lost_cnt_hint is the number of packets or sacked packets before the lost_skb_hint;
When shifting a skb that is before the lost_skb_hint, if tcp_is_fack() is ture,
the skb has already been counted in the lost_cnt_hint; if tcp_is_fack() is false,
tcp_sacktag_one() will increase the lost_cnt_hint. So tcp_shifted_skb() does not
need to adjust the lost_cnt_hint by itself. When shifting a skb that is equal to
lost_skb_hint, the shifted packets will not be counted by tcp_mark_head_lost().
So tcp_shifted_skb() should adjust the lost_cnt_hint even tcp_is_fack(tp) is true.

This is because TCP_ECN_check_ce() considers that if no ECT is seen on a

Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP.

This patch implements Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) for TCP.
PRR is an algorithm that determines TCP's sending rate in fast
recovery. PRR avoids excessive window reductions and aims for
the actual congestion window size at the end of recovery to be as
close as possible to the window determined by the congestion control
algorithm. PRR also improves accuracy of the amount of data sent
during loss recovery.

The patch implements the recommended flavor of PRR called PRR-SSRB
(Proportional rate reduction with slow start reduction bound) and
replaces the existing rate halving algorithm. PRR improves upon the
existing Linux fast recovery under a number of conditions including:
1) burst losses where the losses implicitly reduce the amount of
outstanding data (pipe) below the ssthresh value selected by the
congestion control algorithm and,
2) losses near the end of short flows where application runs out of
data to send.

As an example, with the existing rate halving implementation a single
loss event can cause a connection carrying short Web transactions to
go into the slow start mode after the recovery. This is because during
recovery Linux pulls the congestion window down to packets_in_flight+1
on every ACK. A short Web response often runs out of new data to send
and its pipe reduces to zero by the end of recovery when all its packets
are drained from the network. Subsequent HTTP responses using the same
connection will have to slow start to raise cwnd to ssthresh. PRR on
the other hand aims for the cwnd to be as close as possible to ssthresh
by the end of recovery.

valid, to seed the initRTO for the data transmission phase.

to the value prior entering fast-recovery. It was moderated first
in tcp_try_undo_recovery then again in tcp_complete_cwr.

Since the undo indicates recovery was false, these moderations
are not necessary. If the undo is triggered when most of the
outstanding data have been acknowledged, the (restored) cwnd is
falsely pulled down to a small value.

TCP: fix a bug that triggers large number of TCP RST by mistake

This patch fixes a bug that causes TCP RST packets to be generated
on otherwise correctly behaved applications, e.g., no unread data
on close,..., etc. To trigger the bug, at least two conditions must
be met:

1. The FIN flag is set on the last data packet, i.e., it's not on a
separate, FIN only packet.
2. The size of the last data chunk on the receive side matches
exactly with the size of buffer posted by the receiver, and the
receiver closes the socket without any further read attempt.

This bug was first noticed on our netperf based testbed for our IW10
proposal to IETF where a large number of RST packets were observed.
netperf's read side code meets the condition 2 above 100%.

Before the fix, tcp_data_queue() will queue the last skb that meets
condition 1 to sk_receive_queue even though it has fully copied out
(skb_copy_datagram_iovec()) the data. Then if condition 2 is also met,
tcp_recvmsg() often returns all the copied out data successfully
without actually consuming the skb, due to a check
"if ((chunk = len - tp->ucopy.len) != 0) {"
and
"len -= chunk;"
after tcp_prequeue_process() that causes "len" to become 0 and an
early exit from the big while loop.

I don't see any reason not to free the skb whose data have been fully
consumed in tcp_data_queue(), regardless of the FIN flag. We won't
get there if MSG_PEEK is on. Am I missing some arcane cases related
to urgent data?

tcp: fix TSO FACK loss marking in tcp_mark_head_lost

When TCP uses FACK algorithm to mark lost packets in
tcp_mark_head_lost(), if the number of packets in the (TSO) skb is
greater than the number of packets that should be marked lost, TCP
incorrectly exits the loop and marks no packets lost in the skb. This
underestimates tp->lost_out and affects the recovery/retransmission.
This patch fargments the skb and marks the correct amount of packets
lost.

net: sk_dst_cache RCUification

With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this
work.

sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock)

This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst
entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU
again :)

This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers.

__sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if
socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check()
condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk))

This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets,
for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.

# 5a0e3ad6 24-Mar-2010 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.

2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

tcp: fix ICMP-RTO war

Make sure, that TCP has a nonzero RTT estimation after three-way
handshake. Currently, a listening TCP has a value of 0 for srtt,
rttvar and rto right after the three-way handshake is completed
with TCP timestamps disabled.
This will lead to corrupt RTO recalculation and retransmission
flood when RTO is recalculated on backoff reversion as introduced
in "Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachable"
(f1ecd5d9e7366609d640ff4040304ea197fbc618).
This behaviour can be provoked by connecting to a server which
"responds first" (like SMTP) and rejecting every packet after
the handshake with dest-unreachable, which will lead to softirq
load on the server (up to 30% per socket in some tests).

tcp: Revert per-route SACK/DSACK/TIMESTAMP changes.

It creates a regression, triggering badness for SYN_RECV
sockets, for example:

[19148.022102] Badness at net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c:293

[19148.024012] TASK = eee9a820[1756] 'privoxy' THREAD: eeeca000

This is likely caused by the change in the 'estab' parameter
passed to tcp_parse_options() when invoked by the functions
in net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c

But even if that is fixed, the ->conn_request() changes made in
this patch series is fundamentally wrong. They try to use the
listening socket's 'dst' to probe the route settings. The
listening socket doesn't even have a route, and you can't
get the right route (the child request one) until much later
after we setup all of the state, and it must be done by hand.

This stuff really isn't ready, so the best thing to do is a
full revert. This reverts the following commits:

tcp: fix retrans_stamp advancing in error cases

It can happen, that tcp_retransmit_skb fails due to some error.
In such cases we might end up into a state where tp->retrans_out
is zero but that's only because we removed the TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS
bit from a segment but couldn't retransmit it because of the error
that happened. Therefore some assumptions that retrans_out checks
are based do not necessarily hold, as there still can be an old
retransmission but that is only visible in TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS bit.
As retransmission happen in sequential order (except for some very
rare corner cases), it's enough to check the head skb for that bit.

Main reason for all this complexity is the fact that connection dying
time now depends on the validity of the retrans_stamp, in particular,
that successive retransmissions of a segment must not advance
retrans_stamp under any conditions. It seems after quick thinking that
this has relatively low impact as eventually TCP will go into CA_Loss
and either use the existing check for !retrans_stamp case or send a
retransmission successfully, setting a new base time for the dying
timer (can happen only once). At worst, the dying time will be
approximately the double of the intented time. In addition,
tcp_packet_delayed() will return wrong result (has some cc aspects
but due to rarity of these errors, it's hardly an issue).

One of retrans_stamp clearing happens indirectly through first going
into CA_Open state and then a later ACK lets the clearing to happen.
Thus tcp_try_keep_open has to be modified too.

Thanks to Damian Lukowski <damian@tvk.rwth-aachen.de> for hinting
that this possibility exists (though the particular case discussed
didn't after all have it happening but was just a debug patch
artifact).

Revert Backoff [v3]: Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachable

Here, an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to
TCP's SND.UNA, is taken as an indication that the RTO retransmission has
not been lost due to congestion, but because of a route failure
somewhere along the path.
With true congestion, a router won't trigger such a message and the
patched TCP will operate as standard TCP.

This patch reverts one RTO backoff, if an ICMP host/network unreachable
message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, arrives.
Based on the new RTO, the retransmission timer is reset to reflect the
remaining time, or - if the revert clocked out the timer - a retransmission
is sent out immediately.
Backoffs are only reverted, if TCP is in RTO loss recovery, i.e. if
there have been retransmissions and reversible backoffs, already.

Changes from v2:
1) Renaming of skb in tcp_v4_err() moved to another patch.
2) Reintroduced tcp_bound_rto() and __tcp_set_rto().
3) Fixed code comments.

tcp: fix loop in ofo handling code and reduce its complexity

Somewhat luckily, I was looking into these parts with very fine
comb because I've made somewhat similar changes on the same
area (conflicts that arose weren't that lucky though). The loop
was very much overengineered recently in commit 915219441d566
(tcp: Use SKB queue and list helpers instead of doing it
by-hand), while it basically just wants to know if there are
skbs after 'skb'.

Also it got broken because skb1 = skb->next got translated into
skb1 = skb1->next (though abstracted) improperly. Note that
'skb1' is pointing to previous sk_buff than skb or NULL if at
head. Two things went wrong:
- We'll kfree 'skb' on the first iteration instead of the
skbuff following 'skb' (it would require required SACK reneging
to recover I think).
- The list head case where 'skb1' is NULL is checked too early
and the loop won't execute whereas it previously did.

Conclusion, mostly revert the recent changes which makes the
cset very messy looking but using proper accessor in the
previous-like version.

The effective changes against the original can be viewed with:

tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN

This should be very safe compared with full enabled, so I see
no reason why it shouldn't be done right away. As ECN can only
be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it,
somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If
SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical
to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe.

The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which
choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but
silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested
ECN off.

Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but
unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers
aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur
if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's
any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't
support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After
enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end
enable really has some potential gain too.

tcp: Try to restore large SKBs while SACK processing

During SACK processing, most of the benefits of TSO are eaten by
the SACK blocks that one-by-one fragment SKBs to MSS sized chunks.
Then we're in problems when cleanup work for them has to be done
when a large cumulative ACK comes. Try to return back to pre-split
state already while more and more SACK info gets discovered by
combining newly discovered SACK areas with the previous skb if
that's SACKed as well.

This approach has a number of benefits:

1) The processing overhead is spread more equally over the RTT
2) Write queue has less skbs to process (affect everything
which has to walk in the queue past the sacked areas)
3) Write queue is consistent whole the time, so no other parts
of TCP has to be aware of this (this was not the case with
some other approach that was, well, quite intrusive all
around).
4) Clean_rtx_queue can release most of the pages using single
put_page instead of previous PAGE_SIZE/mss+1 calls

In case a hole is fully filled by the new SACK block, we attempt
to combine the next skb too which allows construction of skbs
that are even larger than what tso split them to and it handles
hole per on every nth patterns that often occur during slow start
overshoot pretty nicely. Though this to be really useful also
a retransmission would have to get lost since cumulative ACKs
advance one hole at a time in the most typical case.

TODO: handle upwards only merging. That should be rather easy
when segment is fully sacked but I'm leaving that as future
work item (it won't make very large difference anyway since
this current approach already covers quite a lot of normal
cases).

I was earlier thinking of some sophisticated way of tracking
timestamps of the first and the last segment but later on
realized that it won't be that necessary at all to store the
timestamp of the last segment. The cases that can occur are
basically either:
1) ambiguous => no sensible measurement can be taken anyway
2) non-ambiguous is due to reordering => having the timestamp
of the last segment there is just skewing things more off
than does some good since the ack got triggered by one of
the holes (besides some substle issues that would make
determining right hole/skb even harder problem). Anyway,
it has nothing to do with this change then.

I choose to route some abnormal looking cases with goto noop,
some could be handled differently (eg., by stopping the
walking at that skb but again). In general, they either
shouldn't happen at all or are rare enough to make no difference
in practice.

In theory this change (as whole) could cause some macroscale
regression (global) because of cache misses that are taken over
the round-trip time but it gets very likely better because of much
less (local) cache misses per other write queue walkers and the
big recovery clearing cumulative ack.

Worth to note that these benefits would be very easy to get also
without TSO/GSO being on as long as the data is in pages so that
we can merge them. Currently I won't let that happen because
DSACK splitting at fragment that would mess up pcounts due to
sk_can_gso in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs. Once DSACKs fragments gets
avoided, we have some conditions that can be made less strict.

TODO: I will probably have to convert the excessive pointer
passing to struct sacktag_state... :-)

My testing revealed that considerable amount of skbs couldn't
be shifted because they were cloned (most likely still awaiting
tx reclaim)...

[The rest is considering future work instead since I got
repeatably EFAULT to tcpdump's recvfrom when I added
pskb_expand_head to deal with clones, so I separated that
into another, later patch]

...To counter that, I gave up on the fifth advantage:

5) When growing previous SACK block, less allocs for new skbs
are done, basically a new alloc is needed only when new hole
is detected and when the previous skb runs out of frags space

...which now only happens of if reclaim is fast enough to dispose
the clone before the SACK block comes in (the window is RTT long),
otherwise we'll have to alloc some.

With clones being handled I got these numbers (will be somewhat
worse without that), taken with fine-grained mibs:

From: Ali Saidi <saidi@engin.umich.edu>

When TCP receive copy offload is enabled it's possible that
tcp_rcv_established() will cause two acks to be sent for a single
packet. In the case that a tcp_dma_early_copy() is successful,
copied_early is set to true which causes tcp_cleanup_rbuf() to be
called early which can send an ack. Further along in
tcp_rcv_established(), __tcp_ack_snd_check() is called and will
schedule a delayed ACK. If no packets are processed before the delayed
ack timer expires the packet will be acked twice.

retransmit_skb_hint (and cannot be done in the all place we
could trivially leave retransmit_skb_hint untouched).

With the previous patch, this should mostly remove O(n^2)
behavior while cumulative ACKs start flowing once rexmit
after a lossy round-trip made it through.

Because lost counter no longer requires tuning, this is
trivial to remove (the tuning wouldn't have been too
hard either) because no "new" retransmittable skb appeared
below retransmit_skb_hint when SACKing for sure.

tcp: Kill precaution that's very likely obsolete

I suspect it might have been related to the changed amount
of lost skbs, which was counted by retransmit_cnt_hint that
got changed.

The place for this clearing was very illogical anyway,
it should have been after the LOST-bit clearing loop to
make any sense.

tcp: convert retransmit_cnt_hint to seqno

Main benefit in this is that we can then freely point
the retransmit_skb_hint to anywhere we want to because
there's no longer need to know what would be the count
changes involve, and since this is really used only as a
terminator, unnecessary work is one time walk at most,
and if some retransmissions are necessary after that
point later on, the walk is not full waste of time
anyway.

Since retransmit_high must be kept valid, all lost
markers must ensure that.

Now I also have learned how those "holes" in the
rexmittable skbs can appear, mtu probe does them. So
I removed the misleading comment as well.

Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic
machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids
such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to
better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to

tcp: Clear probes_out more aggressively in tcp_ack().

This is based upon an excellent bug report from Eric Dumazet.

tcp_ack() should clear ->icsk_probes_out even if there are packets
outstanding. Otherwise if we get a sequence of ACKs while we do have
packets outstanding over and over again, we'll never clear the
probes_out value and eventually think the connection is too sick and
we'll reset it.

This appears to be some "optimization" added to tcp_ack() in the 2.4.x
timeframe. In 2.2.x, probes_out is pretty much always cleared by
tcp_ack().

Here is Eric's original report:

----------------------------------------
Apparently, we can in some situations reset TCP connections in a couple of seconds when some frames are lost.

In order to reproduce the problem, please try the following program on linux-2.6.25.*

Setup some iptables rules to allow two frames per second sent on loopback interface to tcp destination port 12000

iptables -N SLOWLO
iptables -A SLOWLO -m hashlimit --hashlimit 2 --hashlimit-burst 1 --hashlimit-mode dstip --hashlimit-name slow2 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A SLOWLO -j DROP

iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --dport 12000 -j SLOWLO

Then run the attached program and see the output :

tcp: RTT metrics scaling

Some of the metrics (RTT, RTTVAR and RTAX_RTO_MIN) are stored in
kernel units (jiffies) and this leaks out through the netlink API to
user space where the units for jiffies are unknown.

This patches changes the kernel to convert to/from milliseconds. This
changes the ABI, but milliseconds seemed like the most natural unit
for these parameters. Values available via syscall in
/proc/net/rt_cache and netlink will be in milliseconds.

There are some places in TCP that select one MIB index to

else if (<something_else>)
NET_INC_STATS_BH(<some_other_id>);

else

or in a more tricky but still similar way.

On the other hand, this NET_INC_STATS_BH is a camouflaged
increment of percpu variable, which is not that small.

Factoring those cases out de-bloats 235 bytes on non-preemptible

("[TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established") and
the follow-on bug fix 9ae27e0adbf471c7a6b80102e38e1d5a346b3b38
("tcp: Fix slab corruption with ipv6 and tcp6fuzz").

This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar
as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting
stuck.

Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems. The new function
added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the
child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent
listening socket.

Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab
the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would
create an ABBA deadlock. The normal ordering is parent listening
socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the
reverse lock ordering.

Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted:

----------------------------------------
>--- a/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>+++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>@@ -481,6 +481,11 @@ static void tcp_keepalive_timer (unsigned long data)
> goto death;
> }
>
>+ if (tp->defer_tcp_accept.request && sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED) {
>+ tcp_send_active_reset(sk, GFP_ATOMIC);
>+ goto death;

Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done()
will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should
release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for
freeing.
----------------------------------------

Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any
real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all
of the bugs:

----------------------------------------
Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only
is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really
so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole
to consume memory without control.
----------------------------------------

So revert this thing for now.

tcp: fix skb vs fack_count out-of-sync condition

This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases.
In order for this to cause corruption:
1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated.
2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the
DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that
in cache in the first place.
3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be
updated on this iteration.
...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again
that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for
a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out
by tcp_sacktag_one.

It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at
DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK.

Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry
to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even
cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)).
Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists
also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero
and reordering metric on RTO).

This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred
quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to
get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was
collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still
required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have
tried to help here.

This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by
me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing &
sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's
need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go
through it just once there. Going through twice would have
required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above,
I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.

tcp: Fix inconsistency source (CA_Open only when !tcp_left_out(tp))

It is possible that this skip path causes TCP to end up into an
invalid state where ca_state was left to CA_Open while some
segments already came into sacked_out. If next valid ACK doesn't
contain new SACK information TCP fails to enter into
tcp_fastretrans_alert(). Thus at least high_seq is set
incorrectly to a too high seqno because some new data segments
could be sent in between (and also, limited transmit is not
being correctly invoked there). Reordering in both directions
can easily cause this situation to occur.

I guess we would want to use tcp_moderate_cwnd(tp) there as well
as it may be possible to use this to trigger oversized burst to
network by sending an old ACK with huge amount of SACK info, but
I'm a bit unsure about its effects (mainly to FlightSize), so to
be on the safe side I just currently fixed it minimally to keep
TCP's state consistent (obviously, such nasty ACKs have been
possible this far). Though it seems that FlightSize is already
underestimated by some amount, so probably on the long term we
might want to trigger recovery there too, if appropriate, to make
FlightSize calculation to resemble reality at the time when the
losses where discovered (but such change scares me too much now
and requires some more thinking anyway how to do that as it
likely involves some code shuffling).

This bug was found by Brian Vowell while running my TCP debug
patch to find cause of another TCP issue (fackets_out
miscount).

tcp FRTO: work-around inorder receivers

If receiver consumes segments successfully only in-order, FRTO
fallback to conventional recovery produces RTO loop because
FRTO's forward transmissions will always get dropped and need to
be resent, yet by default they're not marked as lost (which are
the only segments we will retransmit in CA_Loss).

Price to pay about this is occassionally unnecessarily
retransmitting the forward transmission(s). SACK blocks help
a bit to avoid this, so it's mainly a concern for NewReno case
though SACK is not fully immune either.

This change has a side-effect of fixing SACKFRTO problem where
it didn't have snd_nxt of the RTO time available anymore when
fallback become necessary (this problem would have only occured
when RTO would occur for two or more segments and ECE arrives
in step 3; no need to figure out how to fix that unless the
TODO item of selective behavior is considered in future).

tcp FRTO: Fix fallback to conventional recovery

It seems that commit 009a2e3e4ec ("[TCP] FRTO: Improve
interoperability with other undo_marker users") run into
another land-mine which caused fallback to conventional
recovery to break:

1. Cumulative ACK arrives after FRTO retransmission
2. tcp_try_to_open sees zero retrans_out, clears retrans_stamp
which should be kept like in CA_Loss state it would be
3. undo_marker change allowed tcp_packet_delayed to return
true because of the cleared retrans_stamp once FRTO is
terminated causing LossUndo to occur, which means all loss
markings FRTO made are reverted.

This means that the conventional recovery basically recovered
one loss per RTT, which is not that efficient. It was quite
unobvious that the undo_marker change broken something like
this, I had a quite long session to track it down because of
the non-intuitiviness of the bug (luckily I had a trivial
reproducer at hand and I was also able to learn to use kprobes
in the process as well :-)).

This together with the NewReno+FRTO fix and FRTO in-order
workaround this fixes Damon's problems, this and the first
mentioned are enough to fix Bugzilla #10063.

tcp FRTO: SACK variant is errorneously used with NewReno

Note: there's actually another bug in FRTO's SACK variant, which
is the causing failure in NewReno case because of the error
that's fixed here. I'll fix the SACK case separately (it's
a separate bug really, though related, but in order to fix that
I need to audit tp->snd_nxt usage a bit).

There were two places where SACK variant of FRTO is getting
incorrectly used even if SACK wasn't negotiated by the TCP flow.
This leads to incorrect setting of frto_highmark with NewReno
if a previous recovery was interrupted by another RTO.

An eventual fallback to conventional recovery then incorrectly
considers one or couple of segments as forward transmissions
though they weren't, which then are not LOST marked during
fallback making them "non-retransmittable" until the next RTO.
In a bad case, those segments are really lost and are the only
one left in the window. Thus TCP needs another RTO to continue.
The next FRTO, however, could again repeat the same events
making the progress of the TCP flow extremely slow.

In order for these events to occur at all, FRTO must occur
again in FRTOs step 3 while the key segments must be lost as
well, which is not too likely in practice. It seems to most
frequently with some small devices such as network printers
that *seem* to accept TCP segments only in-order. In cases
were key segments weren't lost, things get automatically
resolved because those wrongly marked segments don't need to be
retransmitted in order to continue.

I found a reproducer after digging up relevant reports (few
reports in total, none at netdev or lkml I know of), some
cases seemed to indicate middlebox issues which seems now
to be a false assumption some people had made. Bugzilla
#10063 _might_ be related. Damon L. Chesser <damon@damtek.com>
had a reproducable case and was kind enough to tcpdump it
for me. With the tcpdump log it was quite trivial to figure
out.

check for tcp_defer_accept_check() returns true and thus

It seems that the basic FRTO variant should also look for an

[TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+L

This fixes Bugzilla #10384

tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.

The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
ACK will fix the S counter.

More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
had arrived.

So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit
1b6d427bb7e ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

[TCP]: Fix NewReno's fast rexmit/recovery problems with GSOed skb

Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled.
With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in
violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet
and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow
because our code was built on top of assumption about valid
NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for
the overflow in a number of places.

It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if
tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is
likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried.

Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was
lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning
for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even
if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding
data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an
overflow.

Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in
time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here.
Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less
a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need
to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK
for 2.6.26.

In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect
is slightly different because of a small changes in the if
conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing
got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened.

sk_stream_mem_schedule()

The following functions are added.
sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting
sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge()

In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is
removed from sk_mem_charge().

Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds
memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present
memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call.

Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface

# 68f8353b 15-Nov-2007 Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi>

[TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache use

Key points of this patch are:

- In case new SACK information is advance only type, no skb
processing below previously discovered highest point is done
- Optimize cases below highest point too since there's no need
to always go up to highest point (which is very likely still
present in that SACK), this is not entirely true though
because I'm dropping the fastpath_skb_hint which could
previously optimize those cases even better. Whether that's
significant, I'm not too sure.

Currently it will provide skipping by walking. Combined with
RB-tree, all skipping would become fast too regardless of window
size (can be done incrementally later).

Previously a number of cases in TCP SACK processing fails to
take advantage of costly stored information in sack_recv_cache,
most importantly, expected events such as cumulative ACK and new
hole ACKs. Processing on such ACKs result in rather long walks
building up latencies (which easily gets nasty when window is
huge). Those latencies are often completely unnecessary
compared with the amount of _new_ information received, usually
for cumulative ACK there's no new information at all, yet TCP
walks whole queue unnecessary potentially taking a number of
costly cache misses on the way, etc.!

Since the inclusion of highest_sack, there's a lot information
that is very likely redundant (SACK fastpath hint stuff,
fackets_out, highest_sack), though there's no ultimate guarantee
that they'll remain the same whole the time (in all unearthly
scenarios). Take advantage of this knowledge here and drop
fastpath hint and use direct access to highest SACKed skb as
a replacement.

Effectively "special cased" fastpath is dropped. This change
adds some complexity to introduce better coveraged "fastpath",
though the added complexity should make TCP behave more cache
friendly.

The current ACK's SACK blocks are compared against each cached
block individially and only ranges that are new are then scanned
by the high constant walk. For other parts of write queue, even
when in previously known part of the SACK blocks, a faster skip
function is used (if necessary at all). In addition, whenever
possible, TCP fast-forwards to highest_sack skb that was made
available by an earlier patch. In typical case, no other things
but this fast-forward and mandatory markings after that occur
making the access pattern quite similar to the former fastpath
"special case".

DSACKs are special case that must always be walked.

The local to recv_sack_cache copying could be more intelligent
w.r.t DSACKs which are likely to be there only once but that
is left to a separate patch.

[TCP]: non-FACK SACK follows conservative SACK loss recovery

Many assumptions that are true when no reordering or other
strange events happen are not a part of the RFC3517. FACK
implementation is based on such assumptions. Previously (before
the rewrite) the non-FACK SACK was basically doing fast rexmit
and then it times out all skbs when first cumulative ACK arrives,
which cannot really be called SACK based recovery :-).

RFC3517 SACK disables these things:
- Per SKB timeouts & head timeout entry to recovery
- Marking at least one skb while in recovery (RFC3517 does this
only for the fast retransmission but not for the other skbs
when cumulative ACKs arrive in the recovery)
- Sacktag's loss detection flavors B and C (see comment before
tcp_sacktag_write_queue)

This does not implement the "last resort" rule 3 of NextSeg, which
allows retransmissions also when not enough SACK blocks have yet
arrived above a segment for IsLost to return true [RFC3517].

The implementation differs from RFC3517 in these points:
- Rate-halving is used instead of FlightSize / 2
- Instead of using dupACKs to trigger the recovery, the number
of SACK blocks is used as FACK does with SACK blocks+holes
(which provides more accurate number). It seems that the
difference can affect negatively only if the receiver does not
generate SACK blocks at all even though it claimed to be
SACK-capable.
- Dupthresh is not a constant one. Dynamical adjustments include
both holes and sacked segments (equal to what FACK has) due to
complexity involved in determining the number sacked blocks
between highest_sack and the reordered segment. Thus it's will
be an over-estimate.

Implementation note:

tcp_clean_rtx_queue doesn't need a lost_cnt tweak because head
skb at that point cannot be SACKED_ACKED (nor would such
situation last for long enough to cause problems).

This implements more accurately what is stated in sacktag's
overall comment:

"Both of these heuristics are not used in Loss state, when
we cannot account for retransmits accurately."

When CA_Loss state is entered, the state changer ensures that
undo_marker is only set if no TCPCB_RETRANS skbs were found,
thus having non-zero undo_marker in CA_Loss basically tells
that the R-bits still accurately reflect the current state
of TCP.

[TCP]: use non-delayed ACK for congestion control RTT

When a delayed ACK representing two packets arrives, there are two RTT
samples available, one for each packet. The first (in order of seq
number) will be artificially long due to the delay waiting for the
second packet, the second will trigger the ACK and so will not itself
be delayed.

According to rfc1323, the SRTT used for RTO calculation should use the
first rtt, so receivers echo the timestamp from the first packet in
the delayed ack. For congestion control however, it seems measuring
delayed ack delay is not desirable as it varies independently of
congestion.

The patch below causes seq_rtt and last_ackt to be updated with any
available later packet rtts which should have less (and hopefully
zero) delack delay. The rtt value then gets passed to
ca_ops->pkts_acked().

Where TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP was set, effort was made to supress RTTs from
within a TSO chunk (!fully_acked), using only the final ACK (which
includes any TSO delay) to generate RTTs. This patch removes these
checks so RTTs are passed for each ACK to ca_ops->pkts_acked().

For non-delay based congestion control (cubic, h-tcp), rtt is
sometimes used for rtt-scaling. In shortening the RTT, this may make
them a little less aggressive. Delay-based schemes (eg vegas, veno,
illinois) should get a cleaner, more accurate congestion signal,
particularly for small cwnds. The congestion control module can
potentially also filter out bad RTTs due to the delayed ack alarm by
looking at the associated cnt which (where delayed acking is in use)
should probably be 1 if the alarm went off or greater if the ACK was
triggered by a packet.

due to the way the GSO and hints interact. Because hints are not
reset when just a GSOed skb is partially ACKed, there's no
guarantee that the relevant part of the write queue is going to
be processed in sacktag at all (skbs below snd_una) because
fastpath hint can fast forward the entrypoint.

This was also on the way of future reductions in sacktag's skb
processing. Also future cleanups in sacktag can be made after
this (in 2.6.25).

[TCP]: Process DSACKs that reside within a SACK block

DSACK inside another SACK block were missed if start_seq of DSACK
was larger than SACK block's because sorting prioritizes full
processing of the SACK block before DSACK. After SACK block
sorting situation is like this:

SSSSSSSSS
D
SSSSSS
SSSSSSS

Because write_queue is walked in-order, when the first SACK block
has been processed, TCP is already past the skb for which the
DSACK arrived and we haven't taught it to backtrack (nor should
we), so TCP just continues processing by going to the next SACK
block after the DSACK (if any).

Whenever such DSACK is present, do an embedded checking during
the previous SACK block.

If the DSACK is below snd_una, there won't be overlapping SACK
block, and thus no problem in that case. Also if start_seq of
the DSACK is equal to the actual block, it will be processed
first.

Tested this by using netem to duplicate 15% of packets, and
by printing SACK block when found_dup_sack is true and the
selected skb in the dup_sack = 1 branch (if taken):

SACK block 0: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317)
SACK block 1: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317)

equal start seqnos => next_dup = 0, dup_sack = 1 won't occur...

SACK block 0: 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061)
SACK block 1: 2896-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061)
DSACK skb match 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una)

...and next_dup = 1 case (after the not shown start_seq sort),
went to dup_sack = 1 branch.

[TCP]: Fix lost_retrans loop vs fastpath problems

Detection implemented with lost_retrans must work also when
fastpath is taken, yet most of the queue is skipped including
(very likely) those retransmitted skb's we're interested in.
This problem appeared when the hints got added, which removed
a need to always walk over the whole write queue head.
Therefore decicion for the lost_retrans worker loop entry must
be separated from the sacktag processing more than it was
necessary before.

It turns out to be problematic to optimize the worker loop
very heavily because ack_seqs of skb may have a number of
discontinuity points. Maybe similar approach as currently is
implemented could be attempted but that's becoming more and
more complex because the trend is towards less skb walking
in sacktag marker. Trying a simple work until all rexmitted
skbs heve been processed approach.

Maybe after(highest_sack_end_seq, tp->high_seq) checking is not
sufficiently accurate and causes entry too often in no-work-to-do
cases. Since that's not known, I've separated solution to that
from this patch.

Noticed because of report against a related problem from TAKANO
Ryousei <takano@axe-inc.co.jp>. He also provided a patch to
that part of the problem. This patch includes solution to it
(though this patch has to use somewhat different placement).
TAKANO's description and patch is available here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=119149311913288&w=2

...In short, TAKANO's problem is that end_seq the loop is using
not necessarily the largest SACK block's end_seq because the
current ACK may still have higher SACK blocks which are later
by the loop.

[TCP]: Enable SACK enhanced FRTO (RFC4138) by default

Most of the description that follows comes from my mail to
netdev (some editing done):

Main obstacle to FRTO use is its deployment as it has to be on
the sender side where as wireless link is often the receiver's
access link. Take initiative on behalf of unlucky receivers and
enable it by default in future Linux TCP senders. Also IETF
seems to interested in advancing FRTO from experimental [1].

How does FRTO help?
===================

FRTO detects spurious RTOs and avoids a number of unnecessary
retransmissions and a couple of other problems that can arise
due to incorrect guess made at RTO (i.e., that segments were
lost when they actually got delayed which is likely to occur
e.g. in wireless environments with link-layer retransmission).
Though FRTO cannot prevent the first (potentially unnecessary)
retransmission at RTO, I suspect that it won't cost that much
even if you have to pay for each bit (won't be that high
percentage out of all packets after all :-)). However, usually
when you have a spurious RTO, not only the first segment
unnecessarily retransmitted but the *whole window*. It goes like
this: all cumulative ACKs got delayed due to in-order delivery,
then TCP will actually send 1.5*original cwnd worth of data in
the RTO's slow-start when the delayed ACKs arrive (basically the
original cwnd worth of it unnecessarily). In case one is
interested in minimizing unnecessary retransmissions e.g. due to
cost, those rexmissions must never see daylight. Besides, in the
worst case the generated burst overloads the bottleneck buffers
which is likely to significantly delay the further progress of
the flow. In case of ll rexmissions, ACK compression often
occurs at the same time making the burst very "sharp edged" (in
that case TCP often loses most of the segments above high_seq
=> very bad performance too). When FRTO is enabled, those
unnecessary retransmissions are fully avoided except for the
first segment and the cwnd behavior after detected spurious RTO
is determined by the response (one can tune that by sysctl).

Basic version (non-SACK enhanced one), FRTO can fail to detect
spurious RTO as spurious and falls back to conservative
behavior. ACK lossage is much less significant than reordering,
usually the FRTO can detect spurious RTO if at least 2
cumulative ACKs from original window are preserved (excluding
the ACK that advances to high_seq). With SACK-enhanced version,
the detection is quite robust.

FRTO should remove the need to set a high lower bound for the
RTO estimator due to delay spikes that occur relatively common
in some environments (esp. in wireless/cellular ones).

F-RTO does not touch SACKED_ACKED bits at all, so there is no
need to recount them in tcp_enter_frto_loss. After removal of
the else branch, nested ifs can be combined.

This must also reset sacked_out when SACK is not in use as TCP
could have received some duplicate ACKs prior RTO. To achieve
that in a sane manner, tcp_reset_reno_sack was re-placed by the
previous patch.

[TCP]: Fix fastpath_cnt_hint when GSO skb is partially ACKed

When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset,
therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can
corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have
non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often
that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because
fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue
eventually anyway.

In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed,
the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for
fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore),
thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

[TCP]: Bidir flow must not disregard SACK blocks for lost marking

It's possible that new SACK blocks that should trigger new LOST
markings arrive with new data (which previously made is_dupack
false). In addition, I think this fixes a case where we get
a cumulative ACK with enough SACK blocks to trigger the fast
recovery (is_dupack would be false there too).

I'm not completely pleased with this solution because readability
of the code is somewhat questionable as 'is_dupack' in SACK case
is no longer about dupacks only but would mean something like
'lost_marker_work_todo' too... But because of Eifel stuff done
in CA_Recovery, the FLAG_DATA_SACKED check cannot be placed to
the if statement which seems attractive solution. Nevertheless,
I didn't like adding another variable just for that either... :-)

* Some congestion controls want higher resolution value of RTT

all compute a RTT in microseconds.

* Other congestion control could use RTT at jiffies resolution.

The conservative spurious RTO response did not queue CWR even
though the sending rate was lowered. Whenever reduction happens
regardless of reason, CWR should be sent (forgetting to send it

A better approach would be to queue CWR when one of the sending
rate reducing responses (rate-halving one or this conservative
response) is used already at RTO. Doing that would allow CWR to
be sent along with the two new data segments that are sent
during FRTO. However, it's a bit "racy" because userland could
tune the response sysctl to a more aggressive one in between.

[TCP]: FRTO undo response falls back to ratehalving one if ECEd

Undoing ssthresh is disabled in fastretrans_alert whenever
FLAG_ECE is set by clearing prior_ssthresh. The clearing does
not protect FRTO because FRTO operates before fastretrans_alert.
Moving the clearing of prior_ssthresh earlier seems to be a
suboptimal solution to the FRTO case because then FLAG_ECE will
cause a second ssthresh reduction in try_to_open (the first
occurred when FRTO was entered). So instead, FRTO falls back
immediately to the rate halving response, which switches TCP to
CA_CWR state preventing the latter reduction of ssthresh.

If the first ECE arrived before the ACK after which FRTO is able
to decide RTO as spurious, prior_ssthresh is already cleared.
Thus no undoing for ssthresh occurs. Besides, FLAG_ECE should be
set also in the following ACKs resulting in rate halving response
that sees TCP is already in CA_CWR, which again prevents an extra
ssthresh reduction on that round-trip.

If the first ECE arrived before RTO, ssthresh has already been
adapted and prior_ssthresh remains cleared on entry because TCP
is in CA_CWR (the same applies also to a case where FRTO is
entered more than once and ECE comes in the middle).

High_seq must not be touched after tcp_enter_cwr because CWR
round-trip calculation depends on it.

I believe that after this patch, FRTO should be ECN-safe and
even able to take advantage of synergy benefits.

[TCP]: Prevent reordering adjustments during FRTO

To be honest, I'm not too sure how the reord stuff works in the
first place but this seems necessary.

When FRTO has been active, the one and only retransmission could
be unnecessary but the state and sending order might not be what
the sacktag code expects it to be (to work correctly).

[TCP] FRTO: Fake cwnd for ssthresh callback

TCP without FRTO would be in Loss state with small cwnd. FRTO,
however, leaves cwnd (typically) to a larger value which causes
ssthresh to become too large in case RTO is triggered again
compared to what conventional recovery would do. Because
consecutive RTOs result in only a single ssthresh reduction,
RTO+cumulative ACK+RTO pattern is required to trigger this
event.

A large comment is included for congestion control module writers
trying to figure out what CA_EVENT_FRTO handler should do because
there exists a remote possibility of incompatibility between
FRTO and module defined ssthresh functions.

[TCP] FRTO: Reverse RETRANS bit clearing logic

Previously RETRANS bits were cleared on the entry to FRTO. We
postpone that into tcp_enter_frto_loss, which is really the
place were the clearing should be done anyway. This allows
simplification of the logic from a clearing loop to the head skb
clearing only.

Besides, the other changes made in the previous patches to
tcp_use_frto made it impossible for the non-SACKed FRTO to be
entered if other than the head has been rexmitted.

With SACK-enhanced FRTO (and Appendix B), however, there can be
a number retransmissions in flight when RTO expires (same thing
could happen before this patchset also with non-SACK FRTO). To
not introduce any jumpiness into the packet counting during FRTO,
instead of clearing RETRANS bits from skbs during entry, do it
later on.

# 46d0de4e 22-Feb-2007 Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi>

[TCP] FRTO: Entry is allowed only during (New)Reno like recovery

This interpretation comes from RFC4138:
"If the sender implements some loss recovery algorithm other
than Reno or NewReno [FHG04], the F-RTO algorithm SHOULD
NOT be entered when earlier fast recovery is underway."

I think the RFC means to say (especially in the light of
Appendix B) that ...recovery is underway (not just fast recovery)
or was underway when it was interrupted by an earlier (F-)RTO
that hasn't yet been resolved (snd_una has not advanced enough).
Thus, my interpretation is that whenever TCP has ever
retransmitted other than head, basic version cannot be used
because then the order assumptions which are used as FRTO basis
do not hold.

NewReno has only the head segment retransmitted at a time.
Therefore, walk up to the segment that has not been SACKed, if
that segment is not retransmitted nor anything before it, we know
for sure, that nothing after the non-SACKed segment should be
either. This assumption is valid because TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS does
not leave holes but each non-SACKed segment is rexmitted
in-order.

Check for retrans_out > 1 avoids more expensive walk through the
skb list, as we can know the result beforehand: F-RTO will not be
allowed.

SACKed skb can turn into non-SACked only in the extremely rare
case of SACK reneging, in this case we might fail to detect
retransmissions if there were them for any other than head. To
get rid of that feature, whole rexmit queue would have to be
walked (always) or FRTO should be prevented when SACK reneging
happens. Of course RTO should still trigger after reneging which
makes this issue even less likely to show up. And as long as the
response is as conservative as it's now, nothing bad happens even
then.

[TCP] FRTO: fixes fallback to conventional recovery

The FRTO detection did not care how ACK pattern affects to cwnd
calculation of the conventional recovery. This caused incorrect
setting of cwnd when the fallback becames necessary. The
knowledge tcp_process_frto() has about the incoming ACK is now
passed on to tcp_enter_frto_loss() in allowed_segments parameter
that gives the number of segments that must be added to
packets-in-flight while calculating the new cwnd.

Instead of snd_una we use FLAG_DATA_ACKED in duplicate ACK
detection because RFC4138 states (in Section 2.2):
If the first acknowledgment after the RTO retransmission
does not acknowledge all of the data that was retransmitted
in step 1, the TCP sender reverts to the conventional RTO
recovery. Otherwise, a malicious receiver acknowledging
partial segments could cause the sender to declare the
timeout spurious in a case where data was lost.

If the next ACK after RTO is duplicate, we do not retransmit
anything, which is equal to what conservative conventional
recovery does in such case.

[TCP] FRTO: Use Disorder state during operation instead of Open

Retransmission counter assumptions are to be changed. Forcing
reason to do this exist: Using sysctl in check would be racy
as soon as FRTO starts to ignore some ACKs (doing that in the
following patches). Userspace may disable it at any moment
giving nice oops if timing is right. frto_counter would be
inaccessible from userspace, but with SACK enhanced FRTO
retrans_out can include other than head, and possibly leaving
it non-zero after spurious RTO, boom again.

Luckily, solution seems rather simple: never go directly to Open
state but use Disorder instead. This does not really change much,
since TCP could anyway change its state to Disorder during FRTO
using path tcp_fastretrans_alert -> tcp_try_to_open (e.g., when
a SACK block makes ACK dubious). Besides, Disorder seems to be
the state where TCP should be if not recovering (in Recovery or
Loss state) while having some retransmissions in-flight (see
tcp_try_to_open), which is exactly what happens with FRTO.

[TCP]: skb is unexpectedly freed.

I encountered a kernel panic with my test program, which is a very
simple IPv6 client-server program.

The server side sets IPV6_RECVPKTINFO on a listening socket, and the
client side just sends a message to the server. Then the kernel panic
occurs on the server. (If you need the test program, please let me
know. I can provide it.)

This problem happens because a skb is forcibly freed in
tcp_rcv_state_process().

When a socket in listening state(TCP_LISTEN) receives a syn packet,
then tcp_v6_conn_request() will be called from
tcp_rcv_state_process(). If the tcp_v6_conn_request() successfully
returns, the skb would be discarded by __kfree_skb().

However, in case of a listening socket which was already set
IPV6_RECVPKTINFO, an address of the skb will be stored in
treq->pktopts and a ref count of the skb will be incremented in
tcp_v6_conn_request(). But, even if the skb is still in use, the skb
will be freed. Then someone still using the freed skb will cause the
kernel panic.

I suggest to use kfree_skb() instead of __kfree_skb().

[NET]: Add ECN support for TSO

In the current TSO implementation, NETIF_F_TSO and ECN cannot be
turned on together in a TCP connection. The problem is that most
hardware that supports TSO does not handle CWR correctly if it is set
in the TSO packet. Correct handling requires CWR to be set in the
first packet only if it is set in the TSO header.

This patch adds the ability to turn on NETIF_F_TSO and ECN using
GSO if necessary to handle TSO packets with CWR set. Hardware
that handles CWR correctly can turn on NETIF_F_TSO_ECN in the dev->
features flag.

All TSO packets with CWR set will have the SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN set. If
the output device does not have the NETIF_F_TSO_ECN feature set, GSO
will split the packet up correctly with CWR only set in the first
segment.

With help from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>.

Since ECN can always be enabled with TSO, the SOCK_NO_LARGESEND sock
flag is completely removed.

[NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buff

Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So
let's merge them.

They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.

I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.

[TCP]: continued: reno sacked_out count fix

From: Aki M Nyrhinen <anyrhine@cs.helsinki.fi>

IMHO the current fix to the problem (in_flight underflow in reno)
is incorrect. it treats the symptons but ignores the problem. the
problem is timing out packets other than the head packet when we
don't have sack. i try to explain (sorry if explaining the obvious).

with sack, scanning the retransmit queue for timed out packets is
fine because we know which packets in our retransmit queue have been
acked by the receiver.

without sack, we know only how many packets in our retransmit queue the
receiver has acknowledged, but no idea which packets.

think of a "typical" slow-start overshoot case, where for example
every third packet in a window get lost because a router buffer gets
full.

with sack, we check for timeouts on those every third packet (as the
rest have been sacked). the packet counting works out and if there
is no reordering, we'll retransmit exactly the packets that were
lost.

without sack, however, we check for timeout on every packet and end up
retransmitting consecutive packets in the retransmit queue. in our
slow-start example, 2/3 of those retransmissions are unnecessary. these
unnecessary retransmissions eat the congestion window and evetually
prevent fast recovery from continuing, if enough packets were lost.

[TCP]: reno sacked_out count fix

From: "Angelo P. Castellani" <angelo.castellani+lkml@gmail.com>

Using NewReno, if a sk_buff is timed out and is accounted as lost_out,
it should also be removed from the sacked_out.

This is necessary because recovery using NewReno fast retransmit could
take up to a lot RTTs and the sk_buff RTO can expire without actually
being really lost.

left_out = sacked_out + lost_out
in_flight = packets_out - left_out + retrans_out

Using NewReno without this patch, on very large network losses,
left_out becames bigger than packets_out + retrans_out (!!).

For this reason unsigned integer in_flight overflows to 2^32 - something.

# 326f36e9 10-Nov-2005 John Heffner <jheffner@psc.edu>

[TCP]: receive buffer growth limiting with mixed MTU

This is a patch for discussion addressing some receive buffer growing issues.
This is partially related to the thread "Possible BUG in IPv4 TCP window
handling..." last week.

Specifically it addresses the problem of an interaction between rcvbuf
moderation (receiver autotuning) and rcv_ssthresh. The problem occurs when
sending small packets to a receiver with a larger MTU. (A very common case I
have is a host with a 1500 byte MTU sending to a host with a 9k MTU.) In
such a case, the rcv_ssthresh code is targeting a window size corresponding
to filling up the current rcvbuf, not taking into account that the new rcvbuf
moderation may increase the rcvbuf size.

One hunk makes rcv_ssthresh use tcp_rmem[2] as the size target rather than
rcvbuf. The other changes the behavior when it overflows its memory bounds
with in-order data so that it tries to grow rcvbuf (the same as with
out-of-order data).

These changes should help my problem of mixed MTUs, and should also help the
case from last week's thread I think. (In both cases though you still need
tcp_rmem[2] to be set much larger than the TCP window.) One question is if
this is too aggressive at trying to increase rcvbuf if it's under memory
stress.

[TCP]: Clear stale pred_flags when snd_wnd changes

This bug is responsible for causing the infamous "Treason uncloaked"
messages that's been popping up everywhere since the printk was added.
It has usually been blamed on foreign operating systems. However,
some of those reports implicate Linux as both systems are running
Linux or the TCP connection is going across the loopback interface.

In fact, there really is a bug in the Linux TCP header prediction code
that's been there since at least 2.1.8. This bug was tracked down with
help from Dale Blount.

The effect of this bug ranges from harmless "Treason uncloaked"
messages to hung/aborted TCP connections. The details of the bug
and fix is as follows.

When snd_wnd is updated, we only update pred_flags if
tcp_fast_path_check succeeds. When it fails (for example,
when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with
an out-of-date snd_wnd value.

When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming
packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd
which will be wrong.

In the case of the treason messages, it just happens that the snd_wnd
cached in pred_flags is zero while tp->snd_wnd is non-zero. Therefore
when a zero-window packet comes in we incorrectly conclude that the
window is non-zero.

In fact if the peer continues to send us zero-window pure ACKs we
will continue making the same mistake. It's only when the peer
transmits a zero-window packet with data attached that we get a
chance to snap out of it. This is what triggers the treason
message at the next retransmit timeout.

[TCP]: Don't over-clamp window in tcp_clamp_window()

From: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru>

Handle better the case where the sender sends full sized
frames initially, then moves to a mode where it trickles
out small amounts of data at a time.

This known problem is even mentioned in the comments
above tcp_grow_window() in tcp_input.c, specifically:

...
* The scheme does not work when sender sends good segments opening
* window and then starts to feed us spagetti. But it should work
* in common situations. Otherwise, we have to rely on queue collapsing.
...

When the sender gives full sized frames, the "struct sk_buff" overhead
from each packet is small. So we'll advertize a larger window.
If the sender moves to a mode where small segments are sent, this
ratio becomes tilted to the other extreme and we start overrunning
the socket buffer space.

tcp_clamp_window() tries to address this, but it's clamping of
tp->window_clamp is a wee bit too aggressive for this particular case.

Fix confirmed by Ion Badulescu.

[TCP]: Move to new TSO segmenting scheme.

Make TSO segment transmit size decisions at send time not earlier.

The basic scheme is that we try to build as large a TSO frame as
possible when pulling in the user data, but the size of the TSO frame
output to the card is determined at transmit time.

This is guided by tp->xmit_size_goal. It is always set to a multiple
of MSS and tells sendmsg/sendpage how large an SKB to try and build.

Later, tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_push_one() chop up the packet if
necessary and conditions warrant. These routines can also decide to
"defer" in order to wait for more ACKs to arrive and thus allow larger
TSO frames to be emitted.

A general observation is that TSO elongates the pipe, thus requiring a
larger congestion window and larger buffering especially at the sender
side. Therefore, it is important that applications 1) get a large
enough socket send buffer (this is accomplished by our dynamic send
buffer expansion code) 2) do large enough writes.
