2014-08-14tcp: don't allow syn packets without timestamps to pass tcp_tw_recycle logicHannes Frederic Sowa
tcp_tw_recycle heavily relies on tcp timestamps to build a per-host ordering of incoming connections and teardowns without the need to hold state on a specific quadruple for TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN, but only for the last measured RTO. To do so, we keep the last seen timestamp in a per-host indexed data structure and verify if the incoming timestamp in a connection request is strictly greater than the saved one during last connection teardown. Thus we can verify later on that no old data packets will be accepted by the new connection. During moving a socket to time-wait state we already verify if timestamps where seen on a connection. Only if that was the case we let the time-wait socket expire after the RTO, otherwise normal TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN will be used. But we don't verify this on incoming SYN packets. If a connection teardown was less than TCP_PAWS_MSL seconds in the past we cannot guarantee to not accept data packets from an old connection if no timestamps are present. We should drop this SYN packet. This patch closes this loophole. Please note, this patch does not make tcp_tw_recycle in any way more usable but only adds another safety check: Sporadic drops of SYN packets because of reordering in the network or in the socket backlog queues can happen. Users behing NAT trying to connect to a tcp_tw_recycle enabled server can get caught in blackholes and their connection requests may regullary get dropped because hosts behind an address translator don't have synchronized tcp timestamp clocks. tcp_tw_recycle cannot work if peers don't have tcp timestamps enabled. In general, use of tcp_tw_recycle is disadvised.

2014-07-31tcp: don't require root to read tcp_metricsBanerjee, Debabrata
commit d23ff7016 (tcp: add generic netlink support for tcp_metrics) introduced netlink support for the new tcp_metrics, however it restricted getting of tcp_metrics to root user only. This is a change from how these values could have been fetched when in the old route cache. Unless there's a legitimate reason to restrict the reading of these values it would be better if normal users could fetch them.

2014-02-26tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolutionEric Dumazet
Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days. FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt' TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility : tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution, so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel. In this example ss command displays a srtt of 32 usecs (10Gbit link) lpk51:~# ./ss -i dst lpk52 Netid State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port tcp ESTAB 0 1 10.246.11.51:42959 10.246.11.52:64614 cubic wscale:6,6 rto:201 rtt:0.032/0.001 ato:40 mss:1448 cwnd:10 send 3620.0Mbps pacing_rate 7240.0Mbps unacked:1 rcv_rtt:993 rcv_space:29559 Updated iproute2 ip command displays : lpk51:~# ./ip tcp_metrics | grep 10.246.11.52 10.246.11.52 age 561.914sec cwnd 10 rtt 274us rttvar 213us source 10.246.11.51 Old binary displays : lpk51:~# ip tcp_metrics | grep 10.246.11.52 10.246.11.52 age 561.914sec cwnd 10 rtt 250us rttvar 125us source 10.246.11.51 With help from Julian Anastasov, Stephen Hemminger and Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Larry Brakmo <brakmo@google.com> Cc: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-01-23tcp: metrics: Handle v6/v4-mapped sockets in tcp-metricsChristoph Paasch
A socket may be v6/v4-mapped. In that case sk->sk_family is AF_INET6, but the IP being used is actually an IPv4-address.

2014-01-22tcp: metrics: Fix rcu-race when deleting multiple entriesChristoph Paasch
In bbf852b96ebdc6d1 I introduced the tmlist, which allows to delete multiple entries from the cache that match a specified destination if no source-IP is specified. However, as the cache is an RCU-list, we should not create this tmlist, as it will change the tcpm_next pointer of the element that will be deleted and so a thread iterating over the cache's entries while holding the RCU-lock might get "redirected" to this tmlist. This patch fixes this, by reverting back to the old behavior prior to bbf852b96ebdc6d1, which means that we simply change the tcpm_next pointer of the previous element (pp) to jump over the one we are deleting. The difference is that we call kfree_rcu() directly on the cache entry, which allows us to delete multiple entries from the list.

2014-01-17tcp: metrics: Avoid duplicate entries with the same destination-IPChristoph Paasch
Because the tcp-metrics is an RCU-list, it may be that two soft-interrupts are inside __tcp_get_metrics() for the same destination-IP at the same time. If this destination-IP is not yet part of the tcp-metrics, both soft-interrupts will end up in tcpm_new and create a new entry for this IP. So, we will have two tcp-metrics with the same destination-IP in the list. This patch checks twice __tcp_get_metrics(). First without holding the lock, then while holding the lock. The second one is there to confirm that the entry has not been added by another soft-irq while waiting for the spin-lock. Fixes: 51c5d0c4b169b (tcp: Maintain dynamic metrics in local cache.)

2013-10-29tcp: temporarily disable Fast Open on SYN timeoutYuchung Cheng
Fast Open currently has a fall back feature to address SYN-data being dropped but it requires the middle-box to pass on regular SYN retry after SYN-data. This is implemented in commit aab487435 ("net-tcp: Fast Open client - detecting SYN-data drops") However some NAT boxes will drop all subsequent packets after first SYN-data and blackholes the entire connections. An example is in commit 356d7d8 "netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix tcp_in_window for Fast Open". The sender should note such incidents and fall back to use the regular TCP handshake on subsequent attempts temporarily as well: after the second SYN timeouts the original Fast Open SYN is most likely lost. When such an event recurs Fast Open is disabled based on the number of recurrences exponentially.

TCP listener refactoring, part 4 : To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct sock_common Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV. Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall). inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6 This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4, we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6, it's not doable easily. inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr at the same offset.

2013-08-30tcp: do not use cached RTT for RTT estimationYuchung Cheng
RTT cached in the TCP metrics are valuable for the initial timeout because SYN RTT usually does not account for serialization delays on low BW path. However using it to seed the RTT estimator maybe disruptive because other components (e.g., pacing) require the smooth RTT to be obtained from actual connection. The solution is to use the higher cached RTT to set the first RTO conservatively like tcp_rtt_estimator(), but avoid seeding the other RTT estimator variables such as srtt. It is also a good idea to keep RTO conservative to obtain the first RTT sample, and the performance is insured by TCP loss probe if SYN RTT is available. To keep the seeding formula consistent across SYN RTT and cached RTT, the rttvar is twice the cached RTT instead of cached RTTVAR value. The reason is because cached variation may be too small (near min RTO) which defeats the purpose of being conservative on first RTO. However the metrics still keep the RTT variations as they might be useful for user applications (through ip).

On paths with firewalls dropping SYN with data or experimental TCP options, Fast Open connections will have experience SYN timeout and bad performance. The solution is to track such incidents in the cookie cache and disables Fast Open temporarily. Since only the original SYN includes data and/or Fast Open option, the SYN-ACK has some tell-tale sign (tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()) to detect such drops. If a path has recurring Fast Open SYN drops, Fast Open is disabled for 2^(recurring_losses) minutes starting from four minutes up to roughly one and half day. sendmsg with MSG_FASTOPEN flag will succeed but it behaves as connect() then write().
