[ Upstream commit 36b62df5683c315ba58c950f1a9c771c796c30ec ]

'sk-&gt;copied_seq' was updated in the tcp_eat_skb() function when the action
of a BPF program was SK_REDIRECT. For other actions, like SK_PASS, the
update logic for 'sk-&gt;copied_seq' was moved to tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser()
to ensure the accuracy of the 'fionread' feature.

It works for a single stream_verdict scenario, as it also modified
sk_data_ready-&gt;sk_psock_verdict_data_ready-&gt;tcp_read_skb
to remove updating 'sk-&gt;copied_seq'.

However, for programs where both stream_parser and stream_verdict are
active (strparser purpose), tcp_read_sock() was used instead of
tcp_read_skb() (sk_data_ready-&gt;strp_data_ready-&gt;tcp_read_sock).
tcp_read_sock() now still updates 'sk-&gt;copied_seq', leading to duplicate
updates.

In summary, for strparser + SK_PASS, copied_seq is redundantly calculated
in both tcp_read_sock() and tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser().

The issue causes incorrect copied_seq calculations, which prevent
correct data reads from the recv() interface in user-land.

We do not want to add new proto_ops to implement a new version of
tcp_read_sock, as this would introduce code complexity [1].

We could have added noack and copied_seq to desc, and then called
ops-&gt;read_sock. However, unfortunately, other modules didn’t fully
initialize desc to zero. So, for now, we are directly calling
tcp_read_sock_noack() in tcp_bpf.c.

<title>tcp: drop secpath at the same time as we currently drop dst</title>

[ Upstream commit 9b6412e6979f6f9e0632075f8f008937b5cd4efd ]

Xiumei reported hitting the WARN in xfrm6_tunnel_net_exit while
running tests that boil down to:
 - create a pair of netns
 - run a basic TCP test over ipcomp6
 - delete the pair of netns

The xfrm_state found on spi_byaddr was not deleted at the time we
delete the netns, because we still have a reference on it. This
lingering reference comes from a secpath (which holds a ref on the
xfrm_state), which is still attached to an skb. This skb is not
leaked, it ends up on sk_receive_queue and then gets defer-free'd by
skb_attempt_defer_free.

The problem happens when we defer freeing an skb (push it on one CPU's
defer_list), and don't flush that list before the netns is deleted. In
that case, we still have a reference on the xfrm_state that we don't
expect at this point.

We already drop the skb's dst in the TCP receive path when it's no
longer needed, so let's also drop the secpath. At this point,
tcp_filter has already called into the LSM hooks that may require the
secpath, so it should not be needed anymore. However, in some of those
places, the MPTCP extension has just been attached to the skb, so we
cannot simply drop all extensions.

[ Upstream commit c8770db2d54437a5f49417ae7b46f7de23d14db6 ]

We have some machines running stock Ubuntu 20.04.6 which is their 5.4.0-174-generic
kernel that are running ceph and recently hit a null ptr dereference in
tcp_rearm_rto(). Initially hitting it from the TLP path, but then later we also
saw it getting hit from the RACK case as well. Here are examples of the oops
messages we saw in each of those cases:

The NULL ptr deref is coming from tcp_rto_delta_us() attempting to pull an skb
off the head of the retransmit queue and then dereferencing that skb to get the
skb_mstamp_ns value via tcp_skb_timestamp_us(skb).

The crash is the same one that was reported a # of years ago here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/86c0f836-9a7c-438b-d81a-839be45f1f58@gmail.com/T/#t

and the kernel we're running has the fix which was added to resolve this issue.

Unfortunately we've been unsuccessful so far in reproducing this problem in the
lab and do not have the luxury of pushing out a new kernel to try and test if
newer kernels resolve this issue at the moment. I realize this is a report
against both an Ubuntu kernel and also an older 5.4 kernel. I have reported this
issue to Ubuntu here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2077657
however I feel like since this issue has possibly cropped up again it makes
sense to build in some protection in this path (even on the latest kernel
versions) since the code in question just blindly assumes there's a valid skb
without testing if it's NULL b/f it looks at the timestamp.

Given we have seen crashes in this path before and now this case it seems like
we should protect ourselves for when packets_out accounting is incorrect.
While we should fix that root cause we should also just make sure the skb
is not NULL before dereferencing it. Also add a warn once here to capture
some information if/when the problem case is hit again.

parameter, namely, struct net, in ip_metrics_convert() always triggers NULL
pointer crash. Then I digged into this part, realizing that we can remove
this one due to its uselessness.

Instead of calling expensive inet_twsk_purge() twice,
we can handle all families in one round.

Also remove an extra line added in my prior patch,

<title>tcp: increase the default TCP scaling ratio</title>

[ Upstream commit 697a6c8cec03c2299f850fa50322641a8bf6b915 ]

After commit dfa2f0483360 ("tcp: get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale"),
we noticed an application-level timeout due to reduced throughput.

Before the commit, for a client that sets SO_RCVBUF to 65k, it takes
around 22 seconds to transfer 10M data. After the commit, it takes 40
seconds. Because our application has a 30-second timeout, this
regression broke the application.

The reason that it takes longer to transfer data is that
tp-&gt;scaling_ratio is initialized to a value that results in ~0.25 of
rcvbuf. In our case, SO_RCVBUF is set to 65536 by the application, which
translates to 2 * 65536 = 131,072 bytes in rcvbuf and hence a ~28k
initial receive window.

Later, even though the scaling_ratio is updated to a more accurate
skb-&gt;len/skb-&gt;truesize, which is ~0.66 in our environment, the window
stays at ~0.25 * rcvbuf. This is because tp-&gt;window_clamp does not
change together with the tp-&gt;scaling_ratio update when autotuning is
disabled due to SO_RCVBUF. As a result, the window size is capped at the
initial window_clamp, which is also ~0.25 * rcvbuf, and never grows
bigger.

Most modern applications let the kernel do autotuning, and benefit from
the increased scaling_ratio. But there are applications such as kafka
that has a default setting of SO_RCVBUF=64k.

This patch increases the initial scaling_ratio from ~25% to 50% in order
to make it backward compatible with the original default
sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale for applications setting SO_RCVBUF.

commit b8adb69a7d29c2d33eb327bca66476fb6066516b upstream.

Since the introduction of the subflow ULP diag interface, the
dump callback accessed all the subflow data with lockless.

We need either to annotate all the read and write operation accordingly,
or acquire the subflow socket lock. Let's do latter, even if slower, to
avoid a diffstat havoc.

[ Upstream commit bbf80d713fe75cfbecda26e7c03a9a8d22af2f4f ]

While BPF allows to set icsk-&gt;-&gt;icsk_delack_max
and/or icsk-&gt;icsk_rto_min, we have an ip route
attribute (RTAX_RTO_MIN) to be able to tune rto_min,
but nothing to consequently adjust max delayed ack,
which vary from 40ms to 200 ms (TCP_DELACK_{MIN|MAX}).

This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN of almost no practical use,
unless customers are in big trouble.

Modern days datacenter communications want to set
rto_min to ~5 ms, and the max delayed ack one jiffie
smaller to avoid spurious retransmits.

After this patch, an "rto_min 5" route attribute will
effectively lower max delayed ack timers to 4 ms.
