tcp: fix cookie_init_timestamp() overflows

2023-11-20T09:30:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 73ed8e03388d16c12fc577e5c700b58a29045a15 ] cookie_init_timestamp() is supposed to return a 64bit timestamp suitable for both TSval determination and setting of skb->tstamp. Unfortunately it uses 32bit fields and overflows after 2^32 * 10^6 nsec (~49 days) of uptime. Generated TSval are still correct, but skb->tstamp might be set far away in the past, potentially confusing other layers. tcp_ns_to_ts() is changed to return a full 64bit value, ts and ts_now variables are changed to u64 type, and TSMASK is removed in favor of shifts operations. While we are at it, change this sequence: ts >>= TSBITS; ts--; ts <<= TSBITS; ts |= options; to: ts -= (1UL << TSBITS); Fixes: 9a568de4818d ("tcp: switch TCP TS option (RFC 7323) to 1ms clock") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: fix excessive TLP and RACK timeouts from HZ rounding

2023-10-25T09:53:21+00:00

commit 1c2709cfff1dedbb9591e989e2f001484208d914 upstream. We discovered from packet traces of slow loss recovery on kernels with the default HZ=250 setting (and min_rtt < 1ms) that after reordering, when receiving a SACKed sequence range, the RACK reordering timer was firing after about 16ms rather than the desired value of roughly min_rtt/4 + 2ms. The problem is largely due to the RACK reorder timer calculation adding in TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN, which is 2 jiffies. On kernels with HZ=250, this is 2*4ms = 8ms. The TLP timer calculation has the exact same issue. This commit fixes the TLP transmit timer and RACK reordering timer floor calculation to more closely match the intended 2ms floor even on kernels with HZ=250. It does this by adding in a new TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN_US floor of 2000 us and then converting to jiffies, instead of the current approach of converting to jiffies and then adding th TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN value of 2 jiffies. Our testing has verified that on kernels with HZ=1000, as expected, this does not produce significant changes in behavior, but on kernels with the default HZ=250 the latency improvement can be large. For example, our tests show that for HZ=250 kernels at low RTTs this fix roughly halves the latency for the RACK reorder timer: instead of mostly firing at 16ms it mostly fires at 8ms.

tcp: fix quick-ack counting to count actual ACKs of new data

2023-10-10T19:46:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 059217c18be6757b95bfd77ba53fb50b48b8a816 ] This commit fixes quick-ack counting so that it only considers that a quick-ack has been provided if we are sending an ACK that newly acknowledges data. The code was erroneously using the number of data segments in outgoing skbs when deciding how many quick-ack credits to remove. This logic does not make sense, and could cause poor performance in request-response workloads, like RPC traffic, where requests or responses can be multi-segment skbs. When a TCP connection decides to send N quick-acks, that is to accelerate the cwnd growth of the congestion control module controlling the remote endpoint of the TCP connection. That quick-ack decision is purely about the incoming data and outgoing ACKs. It has nothing to do with the outgoing data or the size of outgoing data. And in particular, an ACK only serves the intended purpose of allowing the remote congestion control to grow the congestion window quickly if the ACK is ACKing or SACKing new data. The fix is simple: only count packets as serving the goal of the quickack mechanism if they are ACKing/SACKing new data. We can tell whether this is the case by checking inet_csk_ack_scheduled(), since we schedule an ACK exactly when we are ACKing/SACKing new data.

net: Replace the limit of TCP_LINGER2 with TCP_FIN_TIMEOUT_MAX

2023-07-27T06:37:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit f0628c524fd188c3f9418e12478dfdfadacba815 ] This patch changes the behavior of TCP_LINGER2 about its limit. The sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout used to be the limit of TCP_LINGER2 but now it's only the default value. A new macro named TCP_FIN_TIMEOUT_MAX is added as the limit of TCP_LINGER2, which is 2 minutes. Since TCP_LINGER2 used sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout as the default value and the limit in the past, the system administrator cannot set the default value for most of sockets and let some sockets have a greater timeout. It might be a mistake that let the sysctl to be the limit of the TCP_LINGER2. Maybe we can add a new sysctl to set the max of TCP_LINGER2, but FIN-WAIT-2 timeout is usually no need to be too long and 2 minutes are legal considering TCP specs. Changes in v3: - Remove the new socket option and change the TCP_LINGER2 behavior so that the timeout can be set to value between sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout and 2 minutes. Changes in v2: - Add int overflow check for the new socket option. Changes in v1: - Add a new socket option to set timeout greater than sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout.

tcp/udp: Make early_demux back namespacified.

2022-11-10T16:57:55+00:00

commit 11052589cf5c0bab3b4884d423d5f60c38fcf25d upstream. Commit e21145a9871a ("ipv4: namespacify ip_early_demux sysctl knob") made it possible to enable/disable early_demux on a per-netns basis. Then, we introduced two knobs, tcp_early_demux and udp_early_demux, to switch it for TCP/UDP in commit dddb64bcb346 ("net: Add sysctl to toggle early demux for tcp and udp"). However, the .proc_handler() was wrong and actually disabled us from changing the behaviour in each netns. We can execute early_demux if net.ipv4.ip_early_demux is on and each proto .early_demux() handler is not NULL. When we toggle (tcp|udp)_early_demux, the change itself is saved in each netns variable, but the .early_demux() handler is a global variable, so the handler is switched based on the init_net's sysctl variable. Thus, netns (tcp|udp)_early_demux knobs have nothing to do with the logic. Whether we CAN execute proto .early_demux() is always decided by init_net's sysctl knob, and whether we DO it or not is by each netns ip_early_demux knob. This patch namespacifies (tcp|udp)_early_demux again. For now, the users of the .early_demux() handler are TCP and UDP only, and they are called directly to avoid retpoline. So, we can remove the .early_demux() handler from inet6?_protos and need not dereference them in ip6?_rcv_finish_core(). If another proto needs .early_demux(), we can restore it at that time.

tcp: fix tcp_cwnd_validate() to not forget is_cwnd_limited

2022-10-26T11:22:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit f4ce91ce12a7c6ead19b128ffa8cff6e3ded2a14 ] This commit fixes a bug in the tracking of max_packets_out and is_cwnd_limited. This bug can cause the connection to fail to remember that is_cwnd_limited is true, causing the connection to fail to grow cwnd when it should, causing throughput to be lower than it should be. The following event sequence is an example that triggers the bug: (a) The connection is cwnd_limited, but packets_out is not at its peak due to TSO deferral deciding not to send another skb yet. In such cases the connection can advance max_packets_seq and set tp->is_cwnd_limited to true and max_packets_out to a small number. (b) Then later in the round trip the connection is pacing-limited (not cwnd-limited), and packets_out is larger. In such cases the connection would raise max_packets_out to a bigger number but (unexpectedly) flip tp->is_cwnd_limited from true to false. This commit fixes that bug. One straightforward fix would be to separately track (a) the next window after max_packets_out reaches a maximum, and (b) the next window after tp->is_cwnd_limited is set to true. But this would require consuming an extra u32 sequence number. Instead, to save space we track only the most important information. Specifically, we track the strongest available signal of the degree to which the cwnd is fully utilized: (1) If the connection is cwnd-limited then we remember that fact for the current window. (2) If the connection not cwnd-limited then we track the maximum number of outstanding packets in the current window. In particular, note that the new logic cannot trigger the buggy (a)/(b) sequence above because with the new logic a condition where tp->packets_out > tp->max_packets_out can only trigger an update of tp->is_cwnd_limited if tp->is_cwnd_limited is false. This first showed up in a testing of a BBRv2 dev branch, but this buggy behavior highlighted a general issue with the tcp_cwnd_validate() logic that can cause cwnd to fail to increase at the proper rate for any TCP congestion control, including Reno or CUBIC.
