tcp: add tcp_min_snd_mss sysctl

2019-06-17T17:51:56+00:00

commit 5f3e2bf008c2221478101ee72f5cb4654b9fc363 upstream. Some TCP peers announce a very small MSS option in their SYN and/or SYN/ACK messages. This forces the stack to send packets with a very high network/cpu overhead. Linux has enforced a minimal value of 48. Since this value includes the size of TCP options, and that the options can consume up to 40 bytes, this means that each segment can include only 8 bytes of payload. In some cases, it can be useful to increase the minimal value to a saner value. We still let the default to 48 (TCP_MIN_SND_MSS), for compatibility reasons. Note that TCP_MAXSEG socket option enforces a minimal value of (TCP_MIN_MSS). David Miller increased this minimal value in commit c39508d6f118 ("tcp: Make TCP_MAXSEG minimum more correct.") from 64 to 88. We might in the future merge TCP_MIN_SND_MSS and TCP_MIN_MSS.

inet: switch IP ID generator to siphash

2019-06-04T06:02:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit df453700e8d81b1bdafdf684365ee2b9431fb702 ] According to Amit Klein and Benny Pinkas, IP ID generation is too weak and might be used by attackers. Even with recent net_hash_mix() fix (netns: provide pure entropy for net_hash_mix()) having 64bit key and Jenkins hash is risky. It is time to switch to siphash and its 128bit keys.

net: ipv4: Control SKB reprioritization after forwarding

2018-08-01T16:52:30+00:00

After IPv4 packets are forwarded, the priority of the corresponding SKB is updated according to the TOS field of IPv4 header. This overrides any prioritization done earlier by e.g. an skbedit action or ingress-qos-map defined at a vlan device. Such overriding may not always be desirable. Even if the packet ends up being routed, which implies this is an L3 network node, an administrator may wish to preserve whatever prioritization was done earlier on in the pipeline. Therefore introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior. Keep the default value at 1 to maintain backward-compatible behavior.

tcp: add tcp_comp_sack_nr sysctl

2018-05-18T15:40:27+00:00

This per netns sysctl allows for TCP SACK compression fine-tuning. This limits number of SACK that can be compressed. Using 0 disables SACK compression. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: add tcp_comp_sack_delay_ns sysctl

2018-05-18T15:40:27+00:00

This per netns sysctl allows for TCP SACK compression fine-tuning. Its default value is 1,000,000, or 1 ms to meet TSO autosizing period. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Replace ip_ra_lock with per-net mutex

2018-03-22T19:12:56+00:00

Since ra_chain is per-net, we may use per-net mutexes to protect them in ip_ra_control(). This improves scalability. Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Make ip_ra_chain per struct net

2018-03-22T19:12:56+00:00

This is optimization, which makes ip_call_ra_chain() iterate less sockets to find the sockets it's looking for. Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

udp: Move the udp sysctl to namespace.

2018-03-16T16:03:30+00:00

This patch moves the udp_rmem_min, udp_wmem_min to namespace and init the udp_l3mdev_accept explicitly. The udp_rmem_min/udp_wmem_min affect udp rx/tx queue, with this patch namespaces can set them differently. Signed-off-by: Tonghao Zhang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: route: dissect flow in input path if fib rules need it

2018-03-01T03:44:44+00:00

Dissect flow in fwd path if fib rules require it. Controlled by a flag to avoid penatly for the common case. Flag is set when fib rules with sport, dport and proto match that require flow dissect are installed. Also passes the dissected hash keys to the multipath hash function when applicable to avoid dissecting the flow again. icmp packets will continue to use inner header for hash calculations (Thanks to Nikolay Aleksandrov for some review here).

tcp: Namespace-ify sysctl_tcp_default_congestion_control

2017-11-15T05:09:52+00:00

Make default TCP default congestion control to a per namespace value. This changes default congestion control to a pointer to congestion ops (rather than implicit as first element of available lsit). The congestion control setting of new namespaces is inherited from the current setting of the root namespace. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
