tcp: avoid too many retransmit packets

2024-07-18T11:05:47+00:00

commit 97a9063518f198ec0adb2ecb89789de342bb8283 upstream. If a TCP socket is using TCP_USER_TIMEOUT, and the other peer retracted its window to zero, tcp_retransmit_timer() can retransmit a packet every two jiffies (2 ms for HZ=1000), for about 4 minutes after TCP_USER_TIMEOUT has 'expired'. The fix is to make sure tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out() takes icsk->icsk_user_timeout into account. Before blamed commit, the socket would not timeout after icsk->icsk_user_timeout, but would use standard exponential backoff for the retransmits. Also worth noting that before commit e89688e3e978 ("net: tcp: fix unexcepted socket die when snd_wnd is 0"), the issue would last 2 minutes instead of 4.

tcp: use signed arithmetic in tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out()

2024-07-18T11:05:47+00:00

commit 36534d3c54537bf098224a32dc31397793d4594d upstream. Due to timer wheel implementation, a timer will usually fire after its schedule. For instance, for HZ=1000, a timeout between 512ms and 4s has a granularity of 64ms. For this range of values, the extra delay could be up to 63ms. For TCP, this means that tp->rcv_tstamp may be after inet_csk(sk)->icsk_timeout whenever the timer interrupt finally triggers, if one packet came during the extra delay. We need to make sure tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out() handles this case.

tcp: fix incorrect undo caused by DSACK of TLP retransmit

2024-07-18T11:05:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0ec986ed7bab6801faed1440e8839dcc710331ff ] Loss recovery undo_retrans bookkeeping had a long-standing bug where a DSACK from a spurious TLP retransmit packet could cause an erroneous undo of a fast recovery or RTO recovery that repaired a single really-lost packet (in a sequence range outside that of the TLP retransmit). Basically, because the loss recovery state machine didn't account for the fact that it sent a TLP retransmit, the DSACK for the TLP retransmit could erroneously be implicitly be interpreted as corresponding to the normal fast recovery or RTO recovery retransmit that plugged a real hole, thus resulting in an improper undo. For example, consider the following buggy scenario where there is a real packet loss but the congestion control response is improperly undone because of this bug: + send packets P1, P2, P3, P4 + P1 is really lost + send TLP retransmit of P4 + receive SACK for original P2, P3, P4 + enter fast recovery, fast-retransmit P1, increment undo_retrans to 1 + receive DSACK for TLP P4, decrement undo_retrans to 0, undo (bug!) + receive cumulative ACK for P1-P4 (fast retransmit plugged real hole) The fix: when we initialize undo machinery in tcp_init_undo(), if there is a TLP retransmit in flight, then increment tp->undo_retrans so that we make sure that we receive a DSACK corresponding to the TLP retransmit, as well as DSACKs for all later normal retransmits, before triggering a loss recovery undo. Note that we also have to move the line that clears tp->tlp_high_seq for RTO recovery, so that upon RTO we remember the tp->tlp_high_seq value until tcp_init_undo() and clear it only afterward. Also note that the bug dates back to the original 2013 TLP implementation, commit 6ba8a3b19e76 ("tcp: Tail loss probe (TLP)"). However, this patch will only compile and work correctly with kernels that have tp->tlp_retrans, which was added only in v5.8 in 2020 in commit 76be93fc0702 ("tcp: allow at most one TLP probe per flight"). So we associate this fix with that later commit.

net: tcp: fix unexcepted socket die when snd_wnd is 0

2023-09-19T10:20:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit e89688e3e97868451a5d05b38a9d2633d6785cd4 ] In tcp_retransmit_timer(), a window shrunk connection will be regarded as timeout if 'tcp_jiffies32 - tp->rcv_tstamp > TCP_RTO_MAX'. This is not right all the time. The retransmits will become zero-window probes in tcp_retransmit_timer() if the 'snd_wnd==0'. Therefore, the icsk->icsk_rto will come up to TCP_RTO_MAX sooner or later. However, the timer can be delayed and be triggered after 122877ms, not TCP_RTO_MAX, as I tested. Therefore, 'tcp_jiffies32 - tp->rcv_tstamp > TCP_RTO_MAX' is always true once the RTO come up to TCP_RTO_MAX, and the socket will die. Fix this by replacing the 'tcp_jiffies32' with '(u32)icsk->icsk_timeout', which is exact the timestamp of the timeout. However, "tp->rcv_tstamp" can restart from idle, then tp->rcv_tstamp could already be a long time (minutes or hours) in the past even on the first RTO. So we double check the timeout with the duration of the retransmission. Meanwhile, making "2 * TCP_RTO_MAX" as the timeout to avoid the socket dying too soon.

net: fix the RTO timer retransmitting skb every 1ms if linear option is enabled

2023-08-26T13:26:56+00:00

commit e4dd0d3a2f64b8bd8029ec70f52bdbebd0644408 upstream. In the real workload, I encountered an issue which could cause the RTO timer to retransmit the skb per 1ms with linear option enabled. The amount of lost-retransmitted skbs can go up to 1000+ instantly. The root cause is that if the icsk_rto happens to be zero in the 6th round (which is the TCP_THIN_LINEAR_RETRIES value), then it will always be zero due to the changed calculation method in tcp_retransmit_timer() as follows: icsk->icsk_rto = min(icsk->icsk_rto << 1, TCP_RTO_MAX); Above line could be converted to icsk->icsk_rto = min(0 << 1, TCP_RTO_MAX) = 0 Therefore, the timer expires so quickly without any doubt. I read through the RFC 6298 and found that the RTO value can be rounded up to a certain value, in Linux, say TCP_RTO_MIN as default, which is regarded as the lower bound in this patch as suggested by Eric.
