2019-05-01tcp: lower congestion window on Fast Open SYNACK timeoutYuchung Cheng1-0/+3
TCP sender would use congestion window of 1 packet on the second SYN and SYNACK timeout except passive TCP Fast Open. This makes passive TFO too aggressive and unfair during congestion at handshake. This patch fixes this issue so TCP (fast open or not, passive or active) always conforms to the RFC6298. Note that tcp_enter_loss() is called only once during recurring timeouts. This is because during handshake, high_seq and snd_una are the same so tcp_enter_loss() would incorrect set the undo state variables multiple times.

2019-01-28tcp: Refactor pingpong codeWei Wang1-2/+2
Instead of using pingpong as a single bit information, we refactor the code to treat it as a counter. When interactive session is detected, we set pingpong count to TCP_PINGPONG_THRESH. And when pingpong count is >= TCP_PINGPONG_THRESH, we consider the session in pingpong mode. This patch is a pure refactor and sets foundation for the next patch. This patch itself does not change any pingpong logic.

2019-01-18tcp: retry more conservatively on local congestionYuchung Cheng1-5/+3
Previously when the sender fails to retransmit a data packet on timeout due to congestion in the local host (e.g. throttling in qdisc), it'll retry within an RTO up to 500ms. In low-RTT networks such as data-centers, RTO is often far below the default minimum 200ms (and the cap 500ms). Then local host congestion could trigger a retry storm pouring gas to the fire. Worse yet, the retry counter (icsk_retransmits) is not properly updated so the aggressive retry may exceed the system limit (15 rounds) until the packet finally slips through. On such rare events, it's wise to retry more conservatively (500ms) and update the stats properly to reflect these incidents and follow the system limit. Note that this is consistent with the behavior when a keep-alive probe is dropped due to local congestion.

2019-01-18tcp: properly track retry time on passive Fast OpenYuchung Cheng1-0/+3
This patch addresses a corner issue on timeout behavior of a passive Fast Open socket. A passive Fast Open server may write and close the socket when it is re-trying SYN-ACK to complete the handshake. After the handshake is completely, the server does not properly stamp the recovery start time (tp->retrans_stamp is 0), and the socket may abort immediately on the very first FIN timeout, instead of retying until it passes the system or user specified limit.

2019-01-18tcp: always set retrans_stamp on recoveryYuchung Cheng1-20/+3
Previously TCP socket's retrans_stamp is not set if the retransmission has failed to send. As a result if a socket is experiencing local issues to retransmit packets, determining when to abort a socket is complicated w/o knowning the starting time of the recovery since retrans_stamp may remain zero. This complication causes sub-optimal behavior that TCP may use the latest, instead of the first, retransmission time to compute the elapsed time of a stalling connection due to local issues. Then TCP may disrecard TCP retries settings and keep retrying until it finally succeed: not a good idea when the local host is already strained. The simple fix is to always timestamp the start of a recovery. It's worth noting that retrans_stamp is also used to compare echo timestamp values to detect spurious recovery. This patch does not break that because retrans_stamp is still later than when the original packet was sent.

2019-01-11tcp: change txhash on SYN-data timeoutYuchung Cheng1-1/+1
Previously upon SYN timeouts the sender recomputes the txhash to try a different path. However this does not apply on the initial timeout of SYN-data (active Fast Open). Therefore an active IPv6 Fast Open connection may incur one second RTO penalty to take on a new path after the second SYN retransmission uses a new flow label. This patch removes this undesirable behavior so Fast Open changes the flow label just like the regular connections. This also helps avoid falsely disabling Fast Open on the sender which triggers after two consecutive SYN timeouts on Fast Open.

Previously the SNMP TCPTIMEOUTS counter has inconsistent accounting: 1. It counts all SYN and SYN-ACK timeouts 2. It counts timeouts in other states except recurring timeouts and timeouts after fast recovery or disorder state. Such selective accounting makes analysis difficult and complicated.

2018-11-22tcp: defer SACK compression after DupThreshEric Dumazet1-1/+1
Jean-Louis reported a TCP regression and bisected to recent SACK compression. After a loss episode (receiver not able to keep up and dropping packets because its backlog is full), linux TCP stack is sending a single SACK (DUPACK). Sender waits a full RTO timer before recovering losses. While RFC 6675 says in section 5, "Algorithm Details", (2) If DupAcks < DupThresh but IsLost (HighACK + 1) returns true -- indicating at least three segments have arrived above the current cumulative acknowledgment point, which is taken to indicate loss -- go to step (4). ... (4) Invoke fast retransmit and enter loss recovery as follows: there are old TCP stacks not implementing this strategy, and still counting the dupacks before starting fast retransmit. While these stacks probably perform poorly when receivers implement LRO/GRO, we should be a little more gentle to them. This patch makes sure we do not enable SACK compression unless 3 dupacks have been sent since last rcv_nxt update. Ideally we should even rearm the timer to send one or two more DUPACK if no more packets are coming, but that will be work aiming for linux-4.21. Many thanks to Jean-Louis for bisecting the issue, providing packet captures and testing this patch.

Note that we can remove tcp_mstamp in the future since tcp_mstamp is essentially tcp_clock_cache/1000, so the apparent socket size increase is temporary.

2018-05-18tcp: add SACK compressionEric Dumazet1-0/+25
When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends a SACK packet, generating network load but also forcing the receiver to send 1-MSS pathological packets, increasing its RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time. Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks are under congestion. This patch adds a high resolution timer and tp->compressed_ack counter. Instead of sending a SACK, we program this timer with a small delay, based on RTT and capped to 1 ms : delay = min ( 5 % of RTT, 1 ms) If subsequent SACKs need to be sent while the timer has not yet expired, we simply increment tp->compressed_ack. When timer expires, a SACK is sent with the latest information. Whenever an ACK is sent (if data is sent, or if in-order data is received) timer is canceled. Note that tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() is able to force a SACK to be sent if the sack blocks need to be shuffled, even if the timer has not expired. A new SNMP counter is added in the following patch. Two other patches add sysctls to allow changing the 1,000,000 and 44 values that this commit hard-coded.

2018-01-25net: tcp: close sock if net namespace is exitingDan Streetman1-0/+15
When a tcp socket is closed, if it detects that its net namespace is exiting, close immediately and do not wait for FIN sequence. For normal sockets, a reference is taken to their net namespace, so it will never exit while the socket is open. However, kernel sockets do not take a reference to their net namespace, so it may begin exiting while the kernel socket is still open. In this case if the kernel socket is a tcp socket, it will stay open trying to complete its close sequence. The sock's dst(s) hold a reference to their interface, which are all transferred to the namespace's loopback interface when the real interfaces are taken down. When the namespace tries to take down its loopback interface, it hangs waiting for all references to the loopback interface to release, which results in messages like: unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1 These messages continue until the socket finally times out and closes. Since the net namespace cleanup holds the net_mutex while calling its registered pernet callbacks, any new net namespace initialization is blocked until the current net namespace finishes exiting. After this change, the tcp socket notices the exiting net namespace, and closes immediately, releasing its dst(s) and their reference to the loopback interface, which lets the net namespace continue exiting.

2017-12-13tcp: pause Fast Open globally after third consecutive timeoutYuchung Cheng1-16/+1
Prior to this patch, active Fast Open is paused on a specific destination IP address if the previous connections to the IP address have experienced recurring timeouts . But recent experiments by Microsoft (https://goo.gl/cykmn7) and Mozilla browsers indicate the isssue is often caused by broken middle-boxes sitting close to the client. Therefore it is much better user experience if Fast Open is disabled out-right globally to avoid experiencing further timeouts on connections toward other destinations. This patch changes the destination-IP disablement to global disablement if a connection experiencing recurring timeouts or aborts due to timeout. Repeated incidents would still exponentially increase the pause time, starting from an hour. This is extremely conservative but an unfortunate compromise to minimize bad experience due to broken middle-boxes.

2017-10-07tcp: implement rb-tree based retransmit queueEric Dumazet1-9/+15
Using a linear list to store all skbs in write queue has been okay for quite a while : O(N) is not too bad when N < 500. Things get messy when N is the order of 100,000 : Modern TCP stacks want 10Gbit+ of throughput even with 200 ms RTT flows. 40 ns per cache line miss means a full scan can use 4 ms, blowing away CPU caches. SACK processing often can use various hints to avoid parsing whole retransmit queue. But with high packet losses and/or high reordering, hints no longer work. Sender has to process thousands of unfriendly SACK, accumulating a huge socket backlog, burning a cpu and massively dropping packets. Using an rb-tree for retransmit queue has been avoided for years because it added complexity and overhead, but now is the time to be more resistant and say no to quadratic behavior. 1) RTX queue is no longer part of the write queue : already sent skbs are stored in one rb-tree. 2) Since reaching the head of write queue no longer needs sk->sk_send_head, we added an union of sk_send_head and tcp_rtx_queue Tested: On receiver : netem on ingress : delay 150ms 200us loss 1 GRO disabled to force stress and SACK storms. for f in `seq 1 10` do ./netperf -H lpaa6 -l30 -- -K bbr -o THROUGHPUT|tail -1 done | awk '{print $0} {sum += $0} END {printf "%7u\n",sum}' Before patch : 323.87 351.48 339.59 338.62 306.72 204.07 304.93 291.88 202.47 176.88 2840 After patch: 1700.83 2207.98 2070.17 1544.26 2114.76 2124.89 1693.14 1080.91 2216.82 1299.94 18053 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-08-01tcp: remove prequeue supportFlorian Westphal1-12/+0
prequeue is a tcp receive optimization that moves part of rx processing from bh to process context. This only works if the socket being processed belongs to a process that is blocked in recv on that socket. In practice, this doesn't happen anymore that often because nowadays servers tend to use an event driven (epoll) model. Even normal client applications (web browsers) commonly use many tcp connections in parallel. This has measureable impact only in netperf (which uses plain recv and thus allows prequeue use) from host to locally running vm (~4%), however, there were no changes when using netperf between two physical hosts with ixgbe interfaces.

2017-05-24tcp: fix TCP_SYNCNT flakesEric Dumazet1-15/+11
After the mentioned commit, some of our packetdrill tests became flaky. TCP_SYNCNT socket option can limit the number of SYN retransmits. retransmits_timed_out() has to compare times computations based on local_clock() while timers are based on jiffies. With NTP adjustments and roundings we can observe 999 ms delay for 1000 ms timers. We end up sending one extra SYN packet. Gimmick added in commit 6fa12c850314 ("Revert Backoff [v3]: Calculate TCP's connection close threshold as a time value") makes no real sense for TCP_SYN_SENT sockets where no RTO backoff can happen at all. Lets use a simpler logic for TCP_SYN_SENT sockets and remove @syn_set parameter from retransmits_timed_out() Fixes: 9a568de4818d ("tcp: switch TCP TS option (RFC 7323) to 1ms clock") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-05-17tcp: switch TCP TS option (RFC 7323) to 1ms clockEric Dumazet1-4/+4
TCP Timestamps option is defined in RFC 7323 Traditionally on linux, it has been tied to the internal 'jiffies' variable, because it had been a cheap and good enough generator. For TCP flows on the Internet, 1 ms resolution would be much better than 4ms or 10ms (HZ=250 or HZ=100 respectively) For TCP flows in the DC, Google has used usec resolution for more than two years with great success [1] Receive size autotuning (DRS) is indeed more precise and converges faster to optimal window size. This patch converts tp->tcp_mstamp to a plain u64 value storing a 1 usec TCP clock. This choice will allow us to upstream the 1 usec TS option as discussed in IETF 97.

2017-05-16tcp: internal implementation for pacingEric Dumazet1-0/+3
BBR congestion control depends on pacing, and pacing is currently handled by sch_fq packet scheduler for performance reasons, and also because implemening pacing with FQ was convenient to truly avoid bursts. However there are many cases where this packet scheduler constraint is not practical. - Many linux hosts are not focusing on handling thousands of TCP flows in the most efficient way. - Some routers use fq_codel or other AQM, but still would like to use BBR for the few TCP flows they initiate/terminate. This patch implements an automatic fallback to internal pacing. Pacing is requested either by BBR or use of SO_MAX_PACING_RATE option. If sch_fq happens to be in the egress path, pacing is delegated to the qdisc, otherwise pacing is done by TCP itself. One advantage of pacing from TCP stack is to get more precise rtt estimations, and less work done from TX completion, since TCP Small queue limits are not generally hit. Setups with single TX queue but many cpus might even benefit from this. Note that unlike sch_fq, we do not take into account header sizes. Taking care of these headers would add additional complexity for no practical differences in behavior. Some performance numbers using 800 TCP_STREAM flows rate limited to ~48 Mbit per second on 40Gbit NIC.

2017-01-14tcp: add reordering timer in RACK loss detectionYuchung Cheng1-0/+3
This patch makes RACK install a reordering timer when it suspects some packets might be lost, but wants to delay the decision a little bit to accomodate reordering. It does not create a new timer but instead repurposes the existing RTO timer, because both are meant to retransmit packets. Specifically it arms a timer ICSK_TIME_REO_TIMEOUT when the RACK timing check fails. The wait time is set to RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd - (NOW - Packet.xmit_time) + fudge This translates to expecting a packet (Packet) should take (RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd + fudge) to deliver after it was sent. When there are multiple packets that need a timer, we use one timer with the maximum timeout. Therefore the timer conservatively uses the maximum window to expire N packets by one timeout, instead of N timeouts to expire N packets sent at different times. The fudge factor is 2 jiffies to ensure when the timer fires, all the suspected packets would exceed the deadline and be marked lost by tcp_rack_detect_loss(). It has to be at least 1 jiffy because the clock may tick between calling icsk_reset_xmit_timer(timeout) and actually hang the timer. The next jiffy is to lower-bound the timeout to 2 jiffies when reo_wnd is < 1ms. When the reordering timer fires (tcp_rack_reo_timeout): If we aren't in Recovery we'll enter fast recovery and force fast retransmit. This is very similar to the early retransmit (RFC5827) except RACK is not constrained to only enter recovery for small outstanding flights.
