tcp: Free TCP-AO/TCP-MD5 info/keys without RCU

2025-09-12T02:05:56+00:00

Now that the destruction of info/keys is delayed until the socket destructor, it's safe to use kfree() without an RCU callback. The socket is in TCP_CLOSE state either because it never left it, or it's already closed and the refcounter is zero. In any way, no one can discover it anymore, it's safe to release memory straight away. Similar thing was possible for twsk already.

net/tcp: Add missing lockdep annotations for TCP-AO hlist traversals

2024-11-03T20:10:11+00:00

Under CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST + CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() provides very helpful splats, which help to find possible issues. I missed CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT=y in my testing config the same as described in a3e4bf7f9675 ("configs/debug: make sure PROVE_RCU_LIST=y takes effect"). The fix itself is trivial: add the very same lockdep annotations as were used to dereference ao_info from the socket.

net/tcp: Remove tcp_hash_fail()

2024-06-12T05:39:04+00:00

Now there are tracepoints, that cover all functionality of tcp_hash_fail(), but also wire up missing places They are also faster, can be disabled and provide filtering. This potentially may create a regression if a userspace depends on dmesg logs. Fingers crossed, let's see if anyone complains in reality.

net/tcp: Don't consider TCP_CLOSE in TCP_AO_ESTABLISHED

2024-06-01T23:27:26+00:00

TCP_CLOSE may or may not have current/rnext keys and should not be considered "established". The fast-path for TCP_CLOSE is SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_CLOSE. This is what tcp_rcv_state_process() does anyways. Add an early drop path to not spend any time verifying segment signatures for sockets in TCP_CLOSE state.

net/tcp: Only produce AO/MD5 logs if there are any keys

2024-01-04T17:07:04+00:00

User won't care about inproper hash options in the TCP header if they don't use neither TCP-AO nor TCP-MD5. Yet, those logs can add up in syslog, while not being a real concern to the host admin: > kernel: TCP: TCP segment has incorrect auth options set for XX.20.239.12.54681->XX.XX.90.103.80 [S] Keep silent and avoid logging when there aren't any keys in the system. Side-note: I also defined static_branch_tcp_*() helpers to avoid more ifdeffery, going to remove more ifdeffery further with their help.

net/tcp: Consistently align TCP-AO option in the header

2023-12-06T11:36:55+00:00

Currently functions that pre-calculate TCP header options length use unaligned TCP-AO header + MAC-length for skb reservation. And the functions that actually write TCP-AO options into skb do align the header. Nothing good can come out of this for ((maclen % 4) != 0). Provide tcp_ao_len_aligned() helper and use it everywhere for TCP header options space calculations.

tcp: Move TCP-AO bits from cookie_v[46]_check() to tcp_ao_syncookie().

2023-11-30T04:16:28+00:00

We initialise treq->af_specific in cookie_tcp_reqsk_alloc() so that we can look up a key later in tcp_create_openreq_child(). Initially, that change was added for MD5 by commit ba5a4fdd63ae ("tcp: make sure treq->af_specific is initialized"), but it has not been used since commit d0f2b7a9ca0a ("tcp: Disable header prediction for MD5 flow."). Now, treq->af_specific is used only by TCP-AO, so, we can move that initialisation into tcp_ao_syncookie(). In addition to that, l3index in cookie_v[46]_check() is only used for tcp_ao_syncookie(), so let's move it as well. While at it, we move down tcp_ao_syncookie() in cookie_v4_check() so that it will be called after security_inet_conn_request() to make functions order consistent with cookie_v6_check().
