sctp: send pmtu probe only if packet loss in Search Complete state

2021-07-25T22:06:02+00:00

This patch is to introduce last_rtx_chunks into sctp_transport to detect if there's any packet retransmission/loss happened by checking against asoc's rtx_data_chunks in sctp_transport_pl_send(). If there is, namely, transport->last_rtx_chunks != asoc->rtx_data_chunks, the pmtu probe will be sent out. Otherwise, increment the pl.raise_count and return when it's in Search Complete state. With this patch, if in Search Complete state, which is a long period, it doesn't need to keep probing the current pmtu unless there's data packet loss. This will save quite some traffic. v1->v2: - add the missing Fixes tag. Fixes: 0dac127c0557 ("sctp: do black hole detection in search complete state") Signed-off-by: Xin Long Signed-off-by: David S.

sctp: improve the code for pmtu probe send and recv update

2021-07-25T22:06:02+00:00

This patch does 3 things: - make sctp_transport_pl_send() and sctp_transport_pl_recv() return bool type to decide if more probe is needed to send. - pr_debug() only when probe is really needed to send. - count pl.raise_count in sctp_transport_pl_send() instead of sctp_transport_pl_recv(), and it's only incremented for the 1st probe for the same size. These are preparations for the next patch to make probes happen only when there's packet loss in Search Complete state. Signed-off-by: Xin Long Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sctp: move 198 addresses from unusable to private scope

2021-07-01T18:47:13+00:00

The doc draft-stewart-tsvwg-sctp-ipv4-00 that restricts 198 addresses was never published. These addresses as private addresses should be allowed to use in SCTP. As Michael Tuexen suggested, this patch is to move 198 addresses from unusable to private scope. Reported-by: Sérgio Signed-off-by: Xin Long Acked-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner Signed-off-by: David S.

sctp: validate from_addr_param return

2021-06-28T22:34:50+00:00

Ilja reported that, simply putting it, nothing was validating that from_addr_param functions were operating on initialized memory. That is, the parameter itself was being validated by sctp_walk_params, but it doesn't check for types and their specific sizes and it could be a 0-length one, causing from_addr_param to potentially work over the next parameter or even uninitialized memory. The fix here is to, in all calls to from_addr_param, check if enough space is there for the wanted IP address type.

sctp: do black hole detection in search complete state

2021-06-24T19:58:03+00:00

Currently the PLPMUTD probe will stop for a long period (interval * 30) after it enters search complete state. If there's a pmtu change on the route path, it takes a long time to be aware if the ICMP TooBig packet is lost or filtered. As it says in rfc8899#section-4.3: "A DPLPMTUD method MUST NOT rely solely on this method." (ICMP PTB message). This patch is to enable the other method for search complete state: "A PL can use the DPLPMTUD probing mechanism to periodically generate probe packets of the size of the current PLPMTU." With this patch, the probe will continue with the current pmtu every 'interval' until the PMTU_RAISE_TIMER 'timeout', which we implement by adding raise_count to raise the probe size when it counts to 30 and removing the SCTP_PL_COMPLETE check for PMTU_RAISE_TIMER.

sctp: process sctp over udp icmp err on sctp side

2021-06-22T18:28:52+00:00

Previously, sctp over udp was using udp tunnel's icmp err process, which only does sk lookup on sctp side. However for sctp's icmp error process, there are more things to do, like syncing assoc pmtu/retransmit packets for toobig type err, and starting proto_unreach_timer for unreach type err etc. Now after adding PLPMTUD, which also requires to process toobig type err on sctp side. This patch is to process icmp err on sctp side by parsing the type/code/info in .encap_err_lookup and call sctp's icmp processing functions. Note as the 'redirect' err process needs to know the outer ip(v6) header's, we have to leave it to udp(v6)_err to handle it.

sctp: do state transition when a probe succeeds on HB ACK recv path

2021-06-22T18:28:52+00:00

As described in rfc8899#section-5.2, when a probe succeeds, there might be the following state transitions: - Base -> Search, occurs when probe succeeds with BASE_PLPMTU, pl.pmtu is not changing, pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP, - Error -> Search, occurs when probe succeeds with BASE_PLPMTU, pl.pmtu is changed from SCTP_MIN_PLPMTU to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU, pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP. - Search -> Search Complete, occurs when probe succeeds with the probe size SCTP_MAX_PLPMTU less than pl.probe_high, pl.pmtu is not changing, but update *pathmtu* with it, pl.probe_size is set back to pl.pmtu to double check it. - Search Complete -> Search, occurs when probe succeeds with the probe size equal to pl.pmtu, pl.pmtu is not changing, pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP. So search process can be described as: 1. When it just enters 'Search' state, *pathmtu* is not updated with pl.pmtu, and probe_size increases by a big step (SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP) each round. 2. Until pl.probe_high is set when a probe fails, and probe_size decreases back to pl.pmtu, as described in the last patch. 3. When the probe with the new size succeeds, probe_size changes to increase by a small step (SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP) due to pl.probe_high is set. 4. Until probe_size is next to pl.probe_high, the searching finishes and it goes to 'Complete' state and updates *pathmtu* with pl.pmtu, and then probe_size is set to pl.pmtu to confirm by once more probe. 5. This probe occurs after "30 * probe_inteval", a much longer time than that in Search state. Once it is done it goes to 'Search' state again with probe_size increased by SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP. As we can see above, during the searching, pl.pmtu changes while *pathmtu* doesn't. *pathmtu* is only updated when the search finishes by which it gets an optimal value for it. A big step is used at the beginning until it gets close to the optimal value, then it changes to a small step until it has this optimal value. The small step is also used in 'Complete' until it goes to 'Search' state again and the probe with 'pmtu + the small step' succeeds, which means a higher size could be used. Then probe_size changes to increase by a big step again until it gets close to the next optimal value. Note that anytime when black hole is detected, it goes directly to 'Base' state with pl.pmtu set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU, as described in the last patch.

sctp: do state transition when PROBE_COUNT == MAX_PROBES on HB send path

2021-06-22T18:28:52+00:00

The state transition is described in rfc8899#section-5.2, PROBE_COUNT == MAX_PROBES means the probe fails for MAX times, and the state transition includes: - Base -> Error, occurs when BASE_PLPMTU Confirmation Fails, pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_MIN_PLPMTU, probe_size is still SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU; - Search -> Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected, pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU, probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU; - Search Complete -> Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU, probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU; Note a black hole is encountered when a sender is unaware that packets are not being delivered to the destination endpoint. So it includes the probe failures with equal probe_size to pl.pmtu, and definitely not include that with greater probe_size than pl.pmtu. The later one is the normal probe failure where probe_size should decrease back to pl.pmtu and pl.probe_high is set. pl.probe_high would be used on HB ACK recv path in the next patch.

sctp: do the basic send and recv for PLPMTUD probe

2021-06-22T18:28:52+00:00

This patch does exactly what rfc8899#section-6.2.1.2 says: The SCTP sender needs to be able to determine the total size of a probe packet. The HEARTBEAT chunk could carry a Heartbeat Information parameter that includes, besides the information suggested in [RFC4960], the probe size to help an implementation associate a HEARTBEAT ACK with the size of probe that was sent. The sender could also use other methods, such as sending a nonce and verifying the information returned also contains the corresponding nonce. The length of the PAD chunk is computed by reducing the probing size by the size of the SCTP common header and the HEARTBEAT chunk. Note that HB ACK chunk will carry back whatever HB chunk carried, including the probe_size we put it in; We also check hbinfo->probe_size in the HB ACK against link->pl.probe_size to validate this HB ACK chunk. v1->v2: - Remove the unused 'sp' and add static for sctp_packet_bundle_pad().
