inet: fix possible panic in reqsk_queue_unlink()

2015-04-24T15:39:15+00:00

[ 3897.923145] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000080 [ 3897.931025] IP: [] reqsk_timer_handler+0x1a6/0x243 There is a race when reqsk_timer_handler() and tcp_check_req() call inet_csk_reqsk_queue_unlink() on the same req at the same time. Before commit fa76ce7328b2 ("inet: get rid of central tcp/dccp listener timer"), listener spinlock was held and race could not happen. To solve this bug, we change reqsk_queue_unlink() to not assume req must be found, and we return a status, to conditionally release a refcount on the request sock. This also means tcp_check_req() in non fastopen case might or not consume req refcount, so tcp_v6_hnd_req() & tcp_v4_hnd_req() have to properly handle this. (Same remark for dccp_check_req() and its callers) inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() is now too big to be inlined, as it is called 4 times in tcp and 3 times in dccp.

tcp/dccp: get rid of central timewait timer

2015-04-13T20:40:05+00:00

Using a timer wheel for timewait sockets was nice ~15 years ago when memory was expensive and machines had a single processor. This does not scale, code is ugly and source of huge latencies (Typically 30 ms have been seen, cpus spinning on death_lock spinlock.) We can afford to use an extra 64 bytes per timewait sock and spread timewait load to all cpus to have better behavior. Tested: On following test, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle is set to 1 on the target (lpaa24) Before patch : lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 419594 lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 437171 While test is running, we can observe 25 or even 33 ms latencies. lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23 ... 1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20601ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.020/0.217/25.771/1.535 ms, pipe 2 lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23 ... 1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20702ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.019/0.183/33.761/1.441 ms, pipe 2 After patch : About 90% increase of throughput : lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 810442 lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 800992 And latencies are kept to minimal values during this load, even if network utilization is 90% higher : lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23 ... 1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 19991ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.023/0.064/0.360/0.042 ms Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

inet: drop prev pointer handling in request sock

2015-03-20T16:40:25+00:00

When request sock are put in ehash table, the whole notion of having a previous request to update dl_next is pointless. Also, following patch will get rid of big purge timer, so we want to delete a request sock without holding listener lock. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet: move ipv6only in sock_common

2014-07-02T06:46:21+00:00

When an UDP application switches from AF_INET to AF_INET6 sockets, we have a small performance degradation for IPv4 communications because of extra cache line misses to access ipv6only information. This can also be noticed for TCP listeners, as ipv6_only_sock() is also used from __inet_lookup_listener()->compute_score() This is magnified when SO_REUSEPORT is used. Move ipv6only into struct sock_common so that it is available at no extra cost in lookups. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.

2014-04-11T20:15:36+00:00

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. Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this issue tree-wide. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet: rename ir_loc_port to ir_num

2013-10-10T18:37:35+00:00

In commit 634fb979e8f ("inet: includes a sock_common in request_sock") I forgot that the two ports in sock_common do not have same byte order : skc_dport is __be16 (network order), but skc_num is __u16 (host order) So sparse complains because ir_loc_port (mapped into skc_num) is considered as __u16 while it should be __be16 Let rename ir_loc_port to ireq->ir_num (analogy with inet->inet_num), and perform appropriate htons/ntohs conversions.

inet: includes a sock_common in request_sock

2013-10-10T04:08:07+00:00

TCP listener refactoring, part 5 : We want to be able to insert request sockets (SYN_RECV) into main ehash table instead of the per listener hash table to allow RCU lookups and remove listener lock contention. This patch includes the needed struct sock_common in front of struct request_sock This means there is no more inet6_request_sock IPv6 specific structure. Following inet_request_sock fields were renamed as they became macros to reference fields from struct sock_common. Prefix ir_ was chosen to avoid name collisions. loc_port -> ir_loc_port loc_addr -> ir_loc_addr rmt_addr -> ir_rmt_addr rmt_port -> ir_rmt_port iif -> ir_iif Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: make lookups simpler and faster

2013-10-09T04:01:25+00:00

TCP listener refactoring, part 4 : To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct sock_common Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV. Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall). inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6 This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4, we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6, it's not doable easily. inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr at the same offset. We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic macro. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: better retrans tracking for defer-accept

2012-11-03T18:45:00+00:00

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.

dccp: fix bug in sequence number validation during connection setup

2012-03-03T16:02:52+00:00

This fixes a bug in the sequence number validation during the initial handshake. The code did not treat the initial sequence numbers ISS and ISR as read-only and did not keep state for GSR and GSS as required by the specification. This causes problems with retransmissions during the initial handshake, causing the budding connection to be reset. This patch now treats ISS/ISR as read-only and tracks GSS/GSR as required.
