TCPCT part 1d: define TCP cookie option, extend existing struct's Data structures are carefully composed to require minimal additions. For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional space (taking alignment into consideration). There are no additions to tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock. This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old) patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original author (Adam Langley): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586 The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce, instead of a user configured offset in the data. This is more flexible and less subject to user configuration error. Such a cookie option has been suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing several related concepts to use the same extension option.

tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolution 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.

tcp: Avoid TCP syncookie rejected by SO_REUSEPORT socket Although the actual cookie check "__cookie_v[46]_check()" does not involve sk specific info, it checks whether the sk has recent synq overflow event in "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow()". The tcp_sk(sk)->rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp is updated every second when it has sent out a syncookie (through "tcp_synq_overflow()"). The above per sk "recent synq overflow event timestamp" works well for non SO_REUSEPORT use case. However, it may cause random connection request reject/discard when SO_REUSEPORT is used with syncookie because it fails the "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow()" test. When SO_REUSEPORT is used, it usually has multiple listening socks serving TCP connection requests destinated to the same local IP:PORT. There are cases that the TCP-ACK-COOKIE may not be received by the same sk that sent out the syncookie. For example, if reuse->socks[] began with {sk0, sk1}, 1) sk1 sent out syncookies and tcp_sk(sk1)->rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp was updated. 2) the reuse->socks[] became {sk1, sk2} later. e.g. sk0 was first closed and then sk2 was added. Here, sk2 does not have ts_recent_stamp set. There are other ordering that will trigger the similar situation below but the idea is the same. 3) When the TCP-ACK-COOKIE comes back, sk2 was selected. "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow(sk2)" returns true. In this case, all syncookies sent by sk1 will be handled (and rejected) by sk2 while sk1 is still alive. The userspace may create and remove listening SO_REUSEPORT sockets as it sees fit. E.g. Adding new thread (and SO_REUSEPORT sock) to handle incoming requests, old process stopping and new process starting...etc. With or without SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_[CB]BPF, the sockets leaving and joining a reuseport group makes picking the same sk to check the syncookie very difficult (if not impossible). The later patches will allow bpf prog more flexibility in deciding where a sk should be located in a bpf map and selecting a particular SO_REUSEPORT sock as it sees fit. e.g. Without closing any sock, replace the whole bpf reuseport_array in one map_update() by using map-in-map. Getting the syncookie check working smoothly across socks in the same "reuse->socks[]" is important. A partial solution is to set the newly added sk's ts_recent_stamp to the max ts_recent_stamp of a reuseport group but that will require to iterate through reuse->socks[] OR pessimistically set it to "now - TCP_SYNCOOKIE_VALID" when a sk is joining a reuseport group. However, neither of them will solve the existing sk getting moved around the reuse->socks[] and that sk may not have ts_recent_stamp updated, unlikely under continuous synflood but not impossible. This patch opts to treat the reuseport group as a whole when considering the last synq overflow timestamp since they are serving the same IP:PORT from the userspace (and BPF program) perspective. "synq_overflow_ts" is added to "struct sock_reuseport". The tcp_synq_overflow() and tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() will update/check reuse->synq_overflow_ts if the sk is in a reuseport group. Similar to the reuseport decision in __inet_lookup_listener(), both sk->sk_reuseport and sk->sk_reuseport_cb are tested for SO_REUSEPORT usage. Update on "synq_overflow_ts" happens at roughly once every second. A synflood test was done with a 16 rx-queues and 16 reuseport sockets. No meaningful performance change is observed. Before and after the change is ~9Mpps in IPv4.

tcp: drop secpath at the same time as we currently drop dst 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.

bpf: BPF support for sock_ops Created a new BPF program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS, and a corresponding struct that allows BPF programs of this type to access some of the socket's fields (such as IP addresses, ports, etc.). It uses the existing bpf cgroups infrastructure so the programs can be attached per cgroup with full inheritance support. The program will be called at appropriate times to set relevant connections parameters such as buffer sizes, SYN and SYN-ACK RTOs, etc., based on connection information such as IP addresses, port numbers, etc. Alghough there are already 3 mechanisms to set parameters (sysctls, route metrics and setsockopts), this new mechanism provides some distinct advantages. Unlike sysctls, it can set parameters per connection. In contrast to route metrics, it can also use port numbers and information provided by a user level program. In addition, it could set parameters probabilistically for evaluation purposes (i.e. do something different on 10% of the flows and compare results with the other 90% of the flows). Also, in cases where IPv6 addresses contain geographic information, the rules to make changes based on the distance (or RTT) between the hosts are much easier than route metric rules and can be global. Finally, unlike setsockopt, it oes not require application changes and it can be updated easily at any time. Although the bpf cgroup framework already contains a sock related program type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK), I created the new type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS) beccause the existing type expects to be called only once during the connections's lifetime. In contrast, the new program type will be called multiple times from different places in the network stack code. For example, before sending SYN and SYN-ACKs to set an appropriate timeout, when the connection is established to set congestion control, etc. As a result it has "op" field to specify the type of operation requested. The purpose of this new program type is to simplify setting connection parameters, such as buffer sizes, TCP's SYN RTO, etc. For example, it is easy to use facebook's internal IPv6 addresses to determine if both hosts of a connection are in the same datacenter. Therefore, it is easy to write a BPF program to choose a small SYN RTO value when both hosts are in the same datacenter. This patch only contains the framework to support the new BPF program type, following patches add the functionality to set various connection parameters. This patch defines a new BPF program type: BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_OPS and a new bpf syscall command to load a new program of this type: BPF_PROG_LOAD_SOCKET_OPS.

The first type expects the BPF program to return a value which is then used by the caller (or a negative value to indicate the operation is not supported). The second type expects state changes to be done by the BPF program, for example through a setsockopt BPF helper function, and they ignore the return value.

But even if we reduce batch sizes, there would still be cases where the estimated count of orphans is beyond the limit, and where tcp_too_many_orphans() has to call the expensive percpu_counter_sum_positive(). One solution is to use plain per-cpu counters, and have a timer to periodically refresh this cache. Updating this cache every 100ms seems about right, tcp pressure state is not radically changing over shorter periods. percpu_counter was nice 15 years ago while hosts had less than 16 cpus, not anymore by current standards. v2: Fix the build issue for CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_CHELSIO_TLS=m, reported by kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Remove unused socket argument from tcp_too_many_orphans() Fixes: dd24c00191d5 ("net: Use a percpu_counter for orphan_count") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Stefan Bach <sfb@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The first ACK has two counters increasing due to the ecnfield edge. - ACKs with CE to allow CEP delta validations to take advantage of the option. - Force option to be sent every at least once per 2^22 bytes.

tcp: fix excessive TLP and RACK timeouts from HZ rounding We discovered from packet traces of slow loss recovery on kernels with the default HZ=250 setting (and min_rtt < 1ms) that after reordering, when receiving a SACKed sequence range, the RACK reordering timer was firing after about 16ms rather than the desired value of roughly min_rtt/4 + 2ms. The problem is largely due to the RACK reorder timer calculation adding in TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN, which is 2 jiffies. On kernels with HZ=250, this is 2*4ms = 8ms. The TLP timer calculation has the exact same issue. This commit fixes the TLP transmit timer and RACK reordering timer floor calculation to more closely match the intended 2ms floor even on kernels with HZ=250. It does this by adding in a new TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN_US floor of 2000 us and then converting to jiffies, instead of the current approach of converting to jiffies and then adding th TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN value of 2 jiffies. Our testing has verified that on kernels with HZ=1000, as expected, this does not produce significant changes in behavior, but on kernels with the default HZ=250 the latency improvement can be large. For example, our tests show that for HZ=250 kernels at low RTTs this fix roughly halves the latency for the RACK reorder timer: instead of mostly firing at 16ms it mostly fires at 8ms.

tcp: accecn: AccECN option The Accurate ECN allows echoing back the sum of bytes for each IP ECN field value in the received packets using AccECN option. This change implements AccECN option tx & rx side processing without option send control related features that are added by a later change. Based on specification: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt (Some features of the spec will be added in the later changes rather than in this one). A full-length AccECN option is always attempted but if it does not fit, the minimum length is selected based on the counters that have changed since the last update. The AccECN option (with 24-bit fields) often ends in odd sizes so the option write code tries to take advantage of some nop used to pad the other TCP options. The delivered_ecn_bytes pairs with received_ecn_bytes similar to how delivered_ce pairs with received_ce. In contrast to ACE field, however, the option is not always available to update delivered_ecn_bytes. For ACK w/o AccECN option, the delivered bytes calculated based on the cumulative ACK+SACK information are assigned to one of the counters using an estimation heuristic to select the most likely ECN byte counter. Any estimation error is corrected when the next AccECN option arrives. It may occur that the heuristic gets too confused when there are enough different byte counter deltas between ACKs with the AccECN option in which case the heuristic just gives up on updating the counters for a while. tcp_ecn_option sysctl can be used to select option sending mode for AccECN: TCP_ECN_OPTION_DISABLED, TCP_ECN_OPTION_MINIMUM, and TCP_ECN_OPTION_FULL. This patch increases the size of tcp_info struct, as there is no existing holes for new u32 variables.

A full-length AccECN option is always attempted but if it does not fit, the minimum length is selected based on the counters that have changed since the last update.

The delivered_ecn_bytes pairs with received_ecn_bytes similar to how delivered_ce pairs with received_ce. In contrast to ACE field, however, the option is not always available to update delivered_ecn_bytes. For ACK w/o AccECN option, the delivered bytes calculated based on the cumulative ACK+SACK information are assigned to one of the counters using an estimation heuristic to select the most likely ECN byte counter. Any estimation error is corrected when the next AccECN option arrives. It may occur that the heuristic gets too confused when there are enough different byte counter deltas between ACKs with the AccECN option in which case the heuristic just gives up on updating the counters for a while. tcp_ecn_option sysctl can be used to select option sending mode for AccECN: TCP_ECN_OPTION_DISABLED, TCP_ECN_OPTION_MINIMUM, and TCP_ECN_OPTION_FULL.

tcp: higher throughput under reordering with adaptive RACK reordering wnd Currently TCP RACK loss detection does not work well if packets are being reordered beyond its static reordering window (min_rtt/4).Under such reordering it may falsely trigger loss recoveries and reduce TCP throughput significantly. This patch improves that by increasing and reducing the reordering window based on DSACK, which is now supported in major TCP implementations. It makes RACK's reo_wnd adaptive based on DSACK and no. of recoveries. - If DSACK is received, increment reo_wnd by min_rtt/4 (upper bounded by srtt), since there is possibility that spurious retransmission was due to reordering delay longer than reo_wnd. - Persist the current reo_wnd value for TCP_RACK_RECOVERY_THRESH (16) no. of successful recoveries (accounts for full DSACK-based loss recovery undo). After that, reset it to default (min_rtt/4). - At max, reo_wnd is incremented only once per rtt. So that the new DSACK on which we are reacting, is due to the spurious retx (approx) after the reo_wnd has been updated last time. - reo_wnd is tracked in terms of steps (of min_rtt/4), rather than absolute value to account for change in rtt. In our internal testing, we observed significant increase in throughput, in scenarios where reordering exceeds min_rtt/4 (previous static value).

tcp: support DUPACK threshold in RACK This patch adds support for the classic DUPACK threshold rule (#DupThresh) in RACK. When the number of packets SACKed is greater or equal to the threshold, RACK sets the reordering window to zero which would immediately mark all the unsacked packets below the highest SACKed sequence lost. Since this approach is known to not work well with reordering, RACK only uses it if no reordering has been observed. The DUPACK threshold rule is a particularly useful extension to the fast recoveries triggered by RACK reordering timer. For example data-center transfers where the RTT is much smaller than a timer tick, or high RTT path where the default RTT/4 may take too long. Note that this patch differs slightly from RFC6675. RFC6675 considers a packet lost when at least #DupThresh higher-sequence packets are SACKed. With RACK, for connections that have seen reordering, RACK continues to use a dynamically-adaptive time-based reordering window to detect losses. But for connections on which we have not yet seen reordering, this patch considers a packet lost when at least one higher sequence packet is SACKed and the total number of SACKed packets is at least DupThresh. For example, suppose a connection has not seen reordering, and sends 10 packets, and packets 3, 5, 7 are SACKed. RFC6675 considers packets 1 and 2 lost. RACK considers packets 1, 2, 4, 6 lost. There is some small risk of spurious retransmits here due to reordering. However, this is mostly limited to the first flight of a connection on which the sender receives SACKs from reordering. And RFC 6675 and FACK loss detection have a similar risk on the first flight with reordering (it's just that the risk of spurious retransmits from reordering was slightly narrower for those older algorithms due to the margin of 3*MSS). Also the minimum reordering window is reduced from 1 msec to 0 to recover quicker on short RTT transfers. Therefore RACK is more aggressive in marking packets lost during recovery to reduce the reordering window timeouts.

net: tcp_memcontrol: sanitize tcp memory accounting callbacks There won't be a tcp control soft limit, so integrating the memcg code into the global skmem limiting scheme complicates things unnecessarily. Replace this with simple and clear charge and uncharge calls--hidden behind a jump label--to account skb memory. Note that this is not purely aesthetic: as a result of shoehorning the per-memcg code into the same memory accounting functions that handle the global level, the old code would compare the per-memcg consumption against the smaller of the per-memcg limit and the global limit. This allowed the total consumption of multiple sockets to exceed the global limit, as long as the individual sockets stayed within bounds. After this change, the code will always compare the per-memcg consumption to the per-memcg limit, and the global consumption to the global limit, and thus close this loophole. Without a soft limit, the per-memcg memory pressure state in sockets is generally questionable. However, we did it until now, so we continue to enter it when the hard limit is hit, and packets are dropped, to let other sockets in the cgroup know that they shouldn't grow their transmit windows, either. However, keep it simple in the new callback model and leave memory pressure lazily when the next packet is accepted (as opposed to doing it synchroneously when packets are processed). When packets are dropped, network performance will already be in the toilet, so that should be a reasonable trade-off. As described above, consumption is now checked on the per-memcg level and the global level separately. Likewise, memory pressure states are maintained on both the per-memcg level and the global level, and a socket is considered under pressure when either level asserts as much.

net: Allow opt-out from global protocol memory accounting. Some protocols (e.g., TCP, UDP) implement memory accounting for socket buffers and charge memory to per-protocol global counters pointed to by sk->sk_proto->memory_allocated. Sometimes, system processes do not want that limitation. For a similar purpose, there is SO_RESERVE_MEM for sockets under memcg. Also, by opting out of the per-protocol accounting, sockets under memcg can avoid paying costs for two orthogonal memory accounting mechanisms. A microbenchmark result is in the subsequent bpf patch. Let's allow opt-out from the per-protocol memory accounting if sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem is true. sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem and sk->sk_prot are placed in the same cache line, and sk_has_account() always fetches sk->sk_prot before accessing sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem, so there is no extra cache miss for this patch. The following patches will set sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem to true, and then, the per-protocol memory accounting will be skipped. Note that this does NOT disable memcg, but rather the per-protocol one. Another option not to use the hole in struct sock_common is create sk_prot variants like tcp_prot_bypass, but this would complicate SOCKMAP logic, tcp_bpf_prots etc. Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@google.com> Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeel.butt@linux.dev> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@linux.dev> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251014235604.3057003-3-kuniyu@google.com

net: avoid double accounting for pure zerocopy skbs Track skbs containing only zerocopy data and avoid charging them to kernel memory to correctly account the memory utilization for msg_zerocopy. All of the data in such skbs is held in user pages which are already accounted to user. Before this change, they are charged again in kernel in __zerocopy_sg_from_iter. The charging in kernel is excessive because data is not being copied into skb frags. This excessive charging can lead to kernel going into memory pressure state which impacts all sockets in the system adversely. Mark pure zerocopy skbs with a SKBFL_PURE_ZEROCOPY flag and remove charge/uncharge for data in such skbs. Initially, an skb is marked pure zerocopy when it is empty and in zerocopy path. skb can then change from a pure zerocopy skb to mixed data skb (zerocopy and copy data) if it is at tail of write queue and there is room available in it and non-zerocopy data is being sent in the next sendmsg call. At this time sk_mem_charge is done for the pure zerocopied data and the pure zerocopy flag is unmarked. We found that this happens very rarely on workloads that pass MSG_ZEROCOPY. A pure zerocopy skb can later be coalesced into normal skb if they are next to each other in queue but this patch prevents coalescing from happening. This avoids complexity of charging when skb downgrades from pure zerocopy to mixed. This is also rare. In sk_wmem_free_skb, if it is a pure zerocopy skb, an sk_mem_uncharge for SKB_TRUESIZE(skb_end_offset(skb)) is done for sk_mem_charge in tcp_skb_entail for an skb without data. Testing with the msg_zerocopy.c benchmark between two hosts(100G nics) with zerocopy showed that before this patch the 'sock' variable in memory.stat for cgroup2 that tracks sum of sk_forward_alloc, sk_rmem_alloc and sk_wmem_queued is around 1822720 and with this change it is 0. This is due to no charge to sk_forward_alloc for zerocopy data and shows memory utilization for kernel is lowered.

tcp: TCP Small Queues This introduce TSQ (TCP Small Queues) TSQ goal is to reduce number of TCP packets in xmit queues (qdisc & device queues), to reduce RTT and cwnd bias, part of the bufferbloat problem. sk->sk_wmem_alloc not allowed to grow above a given limit, allowing no more than ~128KB [1] per tcp socket in qdisc/dev layers at a given time. TSO packets are sized/capped to half the limit, so that we have two TSO packets in flight, allowing better bandwidth use. As a side effect, setting the limit to 40000 automatically reduces the standard gso max limit (65536) to 40000/2 : It can help to reduce latencies of high prio packets, having smaller TSO packets. This means we divert sock_wfree() to a tcp_wfree() handler, to queue/send following frames when skb_orphan() [2] is called for the already queued skbs. Results on my dev machines (tg3/ixgbe nics) are really impressive, using standard pfifo_fast, and with or without TSO/GSO. Without reduction of nominal bandwidth, we have reduction of buffering per bulk sender : < 1ms on Gbit (instead of 50ms with TSO) < 8ms on 100Mbit (instead of 132 ms) I no longer have 4 MBytes backlogged in qdisc by a single netperf session, and both side socket autotuning no longer use 4 Mbytes. As skb destructor cannot restart xmit itself ( as qdisc lock might be taken at this point ), we delegate the work to a tasklet. We use one tasklest per cpu for performance reasons. If tasklet finds a socket owned by the user, it sets TSQ_OWNED flag. This flag is tested in a new protocol method called from release_sock(), to eventually send new segments. [1] New /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes tunable [2] skb_orphan() is usually called at TX completion time, but some drivers call it in their start_xmit() handler. These drivers should at least use BQL, or else a single TCP session can still fill the whole NIC TX ring, since TSQ will have no effect.

net: ioctl: Use kernel memory on protocol ioctl callbacks Most of the ioctls to net protocols operates directly on userspace argument (arg). Usually doing get_user()/put_user() directly in the ioctl callback. This is not flexible, because it is hard to reuse these functions without passing userspace buffers. Change the "struct proto" ioctls to avoid touching userspace memory and operate on kernel buffers, i.e., all protocol's ioctl callbacks is adapted to operate on a kernel memory other than on userspace (so, no more {put,get}_user() and friends being called in the ioctl callback). This changes the "struct proto" ioctl format in the following way: int (*ioctl)(struct sock *sk, int cmd, - unsigned long arg); + int *karg); (Important to say that this patch does not touch the "struct proto_ops" protocols) So, the "karg" argument, which is passed to the ioctl callback, is a pointer allocated to kernel space memory (inside a function wrapper). This buffer (karg) may contain input argument (copied from userspace in a prep function) and it might return a value/buffer, which is copied back to userspace if necessary. There is not one-size-fits-all format (that is I am using 'may' above), but basically, there are three type of ioctls: 1) Do not read from userspace, returns a result to userspace 2) Read an input parameter from userspace, and does not return anything to userspace 3) Read an input from userspace, and return a buffer to userspace. The default case (1) (where no input parameter is given, and an "int" is returned to userspace) encompasses more than 90% of the cases, but there are two other exceptions. Here is a list of exceptions: * Protocol RAW: * cmd = SIOCGETVIFCNT: * input and output = struct sioc_vif_req * cmd = SIOCGETSGCNT * input and output = struct sioc_sg_req * Explanation: for the SIOCGETVIFCNT case, userspace passes the input argument, which is struct sioc_vif_req. Then the callback populates the struct, which is copied back to userspace. * Protocol RAW6: * cmd = SIOCGETMIFCNT_IN6 * input and output = struct sioc_mif_req6 * cmd = SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6 * input and output = struct sioc_sg_req6 * Protocol PHONET: * cmd == SIOCPNADDRESOURCE | SIOCPNDELRESOURCE * input int (4 bytes) * Nothing is copied back to userspace. For the exception cases, functions sock_sk_ioctl_inout() will copy the userspace input, and copy it back to kernel space. The wrapper that prepare the buffer and put the buffer back to user is sk_ioctl(), so, instead of calling sk->sk_prot->ioctl(), the callee now calls sk_ioctl(), which will handle all cases.

tcp: fix quick-ack counting to count actual ACKs of new data This commit fixes quick-ack counting so that it only considers that a quick-ack has been provided if we are sending an ACK that newly acknowledges data. The code was erroneously using the number of data segments in outgoing skbs when deciding how many quick-ack credits to remove. This logic does not make sense, and could cause poor performance in request-response workloads, like RPC traffic, where requests or responses can be multi-segment skbs. When a TCP connection decides to send N quick-acks, that is to accelerate the cwnd growth of the congestion control module controlling the remote endpoint of the TCP connection.

tcp: fix quick-ack counting to count actual ACKs of new data This commit fixes quick-ack counting so that it only considers that a quick-ack has been provided if we are sending an ACK that newly acknowledges data. The code was erroneously using the number of data segments in outgoing skbs when deciding how many quick-ack credits to remove. This logic does not make sense, and could cause poor performance in request-response workloads, like RPC traffic, where requests or responses can be multi-segment skbs. When a TCP connection decides to send N quick-acks, that is to accelerate the cwnd growth of the congestion control module controlling the remote endpoint of the TCP connection. That quick-ack decision is purely about the incoming data and outgoing ACKs. It has nothing to do with the outgoing data or the size of outgoing data. And in particular, an ACK only serves the intended purpose of allowing the remote congestion control to grow the congestion window quickly if the ACK is ACKing or SACKing new data.

tcp: add TCP_RFC7323_TW_PAWS drop reason Devices in the networking path, such as firewalls, NATs, or routers, which can perform SNAT or DNAT, use addresses from their own limited address pools to masquerade the source address during forwarding, causing PAWS verification to fail more easily. Currently, packet loss statistics for PAWS can only be viewed through MIB, which is a global metric and cannot be precisely obtained through tracing to get the specific 4-tuple of the dropped packet. In the past, we had to use kprobe ret to retrieve relevant skb information from tcp_timewait_state_process(). We add a drop_reason pointer, similar to what previous commit does: commit e34100c2ecbb ("tcp: add a drop_reason pointer to tcp_check_req()") This commit addresses the PAWSESTABREJECTED case and also sets the corresponding drop reason.

tcp: reduce spurious retransmits due to transient SACK reneging This commit reduces spurious retransmits due to apparent SACK reneging by only reacting to SACK reneging that persists for a short delay. When a sequence space hole at snd_una is filled, some TCP receivers send a series of ACKs as they apparently scan their out-of-order queue and cumulatively ACK all the packets that have now been consecutiveyly received. This is essentially misbehavior B in "Misbehaviors in TCP SACK generation" ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, April 2011, so we suspect that this is from several common OSes (Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP). However, this issue has also been seen in other cases, e.g. the netdev thread "TCP being hoodwinked into spurious retransmissions by lack of timestamps?" from March 2014, where the receiver was thought to be a BSD box. Since snd_una would temporarily be adjacent to a previously SACKed range in these scenarios, this receiver behavior triggered the Linux SACK reneging code path in the sender. This led the sender to clear the SACK scoreboard, enter CA_Loss, and spuriously retransmit (potentially) every packet from the entire write queue at line rate just a few milliseconds before the ACK for each packet arrives at the sender. To avoid such situations, now when a sender sees apparent reneging it does not yet retransmit, but rather adjusts the RTO timer to give the receiver a little time (max(RTT/2, 10ms)) to send us some more ACKs that will restore sanity to the SACK scoreboard. If the reneging persists until this RTO then, as before, we clear the SACK scoreboard and enter CA_Loss. A 10ms delay tolerates a receiver sending such a stream of ACKs at 56Kbit/sec. And to allow for receivers with slower or more congested paths, we wait for at least RTT/2. We validated the resulting max(RTT/2, 10ms) delay formula with a mix of North American and South American Google web server traffic, and found that for ACKs displaying transient reneging: (1) 90% of inter-ACK delays were less than 10ms (2) 99% of inter-ACK delays were less than RTT/2 In tests on Google web servers this commit reduced reneging events by 75%-90% (as measured by the TcpExtTCPSACKReneging counter), without any measurable impact on latency for user HTTP and SPDY requests.

tcp: implement mmap() for zero copy receive Some networks can make sure TCP payload can exactly fit 4KB pages, with well chosen MSS/MTU and architectures. Implement mmap() system call so that applications can avoid copying data without complex splice() games. Note that a successful mmap( X bytes) on TCP socket is consuming bytes, as if recvmsg() has been done. (tp->copied += X) Only PROT_READ mappings are accepted, as skb page frags are fundamentally shared and read only. If tcp_mmap() finds data that is not a full page, or a patch of urgent data, -EINVAL is returned, no bytes are consumed. Application must fallback to recvmsg() to read the problematic sequence. mmap() wont block, regardless of socket being in blocking or non-blocking mode. If not enough bytes are in receive queue, mmap() would return -EAGAIN, or -EIO if socket is in a state where no other bytes can be added into receive queue. An application might use SO_RCVLOWAT, poll() and/or ioctl( FIONREAD) to efficiently use mmap() On the sender side, MSG_EOR might help to clearly separate unaligned headers and 4K-aligned chunks if necessary. Tested: mlx4 (cx-3) 40Gbit NIC, with tcp_mmap program provided in following patch.

net: tcp: add per route congestion control This work adds the possibility to define a per route/destination congestion control algorithm. Generally, this opens up the possibility for a machine with different links to enforce specific congestion control algorithms with optimal strategies for each of them based on their network characteristics, even transparently for a single application listening on all links. For our specific use case, this additionally facilitates deployment of DCTCP, for example, applications can easily serve internal traffic/dsts in DCTCP and external one with CUBIC. Other scenarios would also allow for utilizing e.g. long living, low priority background flows for certain destinations/routes while still being able for normal traffic to utilize the default congestion control algorithm. We also thought about a per netns setting (where different defaults are possible), but given its actually a link specific property, we argue that a per route/destination setting is the most natural and flexible. The administrator can utilize this through ip-route(8) by appending "congctl [lock] <name>", where <name> denotes the name of a congestion control algorithm and the optional lock parameter allows to enforce the given algorithm so that applications in user space would not be allowed to overwrite that algorithm for that destination. The dst metric lookups are being done when a dst entry is already available in order to avoid a costly lookup and still before the algorithms are being initialized, thus overhead is very low when the feature is not being used. While the client side would need to drop the current reference on the module, on server side this can actually even be avoided as we just got a flat-copied socket clone.

bpf: tcp: Add bpf_skops_hdr_opt_len() and bpf_skops_write_hdr_opt() The bpf prog needs to parse the SYN header to learn what options have been sent by the peer's bpf-prog before writing its options into SYNACK. This patch adds a "syn_skb" arg to tcp_make_synack() and send_synack(). This syn_skb will eventually be made available (as read-only) to the bpf prog. This will be the only SYN packet available to the bpf prog during syncookie. For other regular cases, the bpf prog can also use the saved_syn. When writing options, the bpf prog will first be called to tell the kernel its required number of bytes. It is done by the new bpf_skops_hdr_opt_len(). The bpf prog will only be called when the new BPF_SOCK_OPS_WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG is set in tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags. When the bpf prog returns, the kernel will know how many bytes are needed and then update the "*remaining" arg accordingly. 4 byte alignment will be included in the "*remaining" before this function returns. The 4 byte aligned number of bytes will also be stored into the opts->bpf_opt_len. "bpf_opt_len" is a newly added member to the struct tcp_out_options. Then the new bpf_skops_write_hdr_opt() will call the bpf prog to write the header options. The bpf prog is only called if it has reserved spaces before (opts->bpf_opt_len > 0). The bpf prog is the last one getting a chance to reserve header space and writing the header option. These two functions are half implemented to highlight the changes in TCP stack. The actual codes preparing the bpf running context and invoking the bpf prog will be added in the later patch with other necessary bpf pieces.

tcp: Avoid TCP syncookie rejected by SO_REUSEPORT socket Although the actual cookie check "__cookie_v[46]_check()" does not involve sk specific info, it checks whether the sk has recent synq overflow event in "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow()". The tcp_sk(sk)->rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp is updated every second when it has sent out a syncookie (through "tcp_synq_overflow()"). The above per sk "recent synq overflow event timestamp" works well for non SO_REUSEPORT use case. However, it may cause random connection request reject/discard when SO_REUSEPORT is used with syncookie because it fails the "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow()" test. When SO_REUSEPORT is used, it usually has multiple listening socks serving TCP connection requests destinated to the same local IP:PORT. There are cases that the TCP-ACK-COOKIE may not be received by the same sk that sent out the syncookie. For example, if reuse->socks[] began with {sk0, sk1}, 1) sk1 sent out syncookies and tcp_sk(sk1)->rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp was updated. 2) the reuse->socks[] became {sk1, sk2} later. e.g. sk0 was first closed and then sk2 was added. Here, sk2 does not have ts_recent_stamp set. There are other ordering that will trigger the similar situation below but the idea is the same. 3) When the TCP-ACK-COOKIE comes back, sk2 was selected. "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow(sk2)" returns true. In this case, all syncookies sent by sk1 will be handled (and rejected) by sk2 while sk1 is still alive. The userspace may create and remove listening SO_REUSEPORT sockets as it sees fit. E.g. Adding new thread (and SO_REUSEPORT sock) to handle incoming requests, old process stopping and new process starting...etc. With or without SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_[CB]BPF, the sockets leaving and joining a reuseport group makes picking the same sk to check the syncookie very difficult (if not impossible). The later patches will allow bpf prog more flexibility in deciding where a sk should be located in a bpf map and selecting a particular SO_REUSEPORT sock as it sees fit. e.g. Without closing any sock, replace the whole bpf reuseport_array in one map_update() by using map-in-map. Getting the syncookie check working smoothly across socks in the same "reuse->socks[]" is important. A partial solution is to set the newly added sk's ts_recent_stamp to the max ts_recent_stamp of a reuseport group but that will require to iterate through reuse->socks[] OR pessimistically set it to "now - TCP_SYNCOOKIE_VALID" when a sk is joining a reuseport group. However, neither of them will solve the existing sk getting moved around the reuse->socks[] and that sk may not have ts_recent_stamp updated, unlikely under continuous synflood but not impossible. This patch opts to treat the reuseport group as a whole when considering the last synq overflow timestamp since they are serving the same IP:PORT from the userspace (and BPF program) perspective. "synq_overflow_ts" is added to "struct sock_reuseport". The tcp_synq_overflow() and tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() will update/check reuse->synq_overflow_ts if the sk is in a reuseport group. Similar to the reuseport decision in __inet_lookup_listener(), both sk->sk_reuseport and sk->sk_reuseport_cb are tested for SO_REUSEPORT usage. Update on "synq_overflow_ts" happens at roughly once every second. A synflood test was done with a 16 rx-queues and 16 reuseport sockets. No meaningful performance change is observed. Before and after the change is ~9Mpps in IPv4.

tcp: fix rejected syncookies due to stale timestamps If no synflood happens for a long enough period of time, then the synflood timestamp isn't refreshed and jiffies can advance so much that time_after32() can't accurately compare them any more. Therefore, we can end up in a situation where time_after32(now, last_overflow + HZ) returns false, just because these two values are too far apart. In that case, the synflood timestamp isn't updated as it should be, which can trick tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() into rejecting valid syncookies. For example, let's consider the following scenario on a system with HZ=1000: * The synflood timestamp is 0, either because that's the timestamp of the last synflood or, more commonly, because we're working with a freshly created socket. * We receive a new SYN, which triggers synflood protection. Let's say that this happens when jiffies == 2147484649 (that is, 'synflood timestamp' + HZ + 2^31 + 1). * Then tcp_synq_overflow() doesn't update the synflood timestamp, because time_after32(2147484649, 1000) returns false. With: - 2147484649: the value of jiffies, aka. 'now'. - 1000: the value of 'last_overflow' + HZ. * A bit later, we receive the ACK completing the 3WHS. But cookie_v[46]_check() rejects it because tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() says that we're not under synflood. That's because time_after32(2147484649, 120000) returns false. With: - 2147484649: the value of jiffies, aka. 'now'. - 120000: the value of 'last_overflow' + TCP_SYNCOOKIE_VALID. Of course, in reality jiffies would have increased a bit, but this condition will last for the next 119 seconds, which is far enough to accommodate for jiffie's growth. Fix this by updating the overflow timestamp whenever jiffies isn't within the [last_overflow, last_overflow + HZ] range. That shouldn't have any performance impact since the update still happens at most once per second. Now we're guaranteed to have fresh timestamps while under synflood, so tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() can safely use it with time_after32() in such situations. Stale timestamps can still make tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() return the wrong verdict when not under synflood. This will be handled in the next patch. For 64 bits architectures, the problem was introduced with the conversion of ->tw_ts_recent_stamp to 32 bits integer by commit cca9bab1b72c ("tcp: use monotonic timestamps for PAWS").

tcp: Avoid TCP syncookie rejected by SO_REUSEPORT socket Although the actual cookie check "__cookie_v[46]_check()" does not involve sk specific info, it checks whether the sk has recent synq overflow event in "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow()". The tcp_sk(sk)->rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp is updated every second when it has sent out a syncookie (through "tcp_synq_overflow()"). The above per sk "recent synq overflow event timestamp" works well for non SO_REUSEPORT use case. However, it may cause random connection request reject/discard when SO_REUSEPORT is used with syncookie because it fails the "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow()" test. When SO_REUSEPORT is used, it usually has multiple listening socks serving TCP connection requests destinated to the same local IP:PORT. There are cases that the TCP-ACK-COOKIE may not be received by the same sk that sent out the syncookie. For example, if reuse->socks[] began with {sk0, sk1}, 1) sk1 sent out syncookies and tcp_sk(sk1)->rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp was updated. 2) the reuse->socks[] became {sk1, sk2} later. e.g. sk0 was first closed and then sk2 was added. Here, sk2 does not have ts_recent_stamp set. There are other ordering that will trigger the similar situation below but the idea is the same. 3) When the TCP-ACK-COOKIE comes back, sk2 was selected. "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow(sk2)" returns true. In this case, all syncookies sent by sk1 will be handled (and rejected) by sk2 while sk1 is still alive. The userspace may create and remove listening SO_REUSEPORT sockets as it sees fit. E.g. Adding new thread (and SO_REUSEPORT sock) to handle incoming requests, old process stopping and new process starting...etc. With or without SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_[CB]BPF, the sockets leaving and joining a reuseport group makes picking the same sk to check the syncookie very difficult (if not impossible).

tcp: tighten acceptance of ACKs not matching a child socket When no synflood occurs, the synflood timestamp isn't updated. Therefore it can be so old that time_after32() can consider it to be in the future. That's a problem for tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() as it may report that a recent overflow occurred while, in fact, it's just that jiffies has grown past 'last_overflow' + TCP_SYNCOOKIE_VALID + 2^31. Spurious detection of recent overflows lead to extra syncookie verification in cookie_v[46]_check(). At that point, the verification should fail and the packet dropped. But we should have dropped the packet earlier as we didn't even send a syncookie. Let's refine tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() to report a recent overflow only if jiffies is within the [last_overflow, last_overflow + TCP_SYNCOOKIE_VALID] interval. This way, no spurious recent overflow is reported when jiffies wraps and 'last_overflow' becomes in the future from the point of view of time_after32(). However, if jiffies wraps and enters the [last_overflow, last_overflow + TCP_SYNCOOKIE_VALID] interval (with 'last_overflow' being a stale synflood timestamp), then tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() still erroneously reports an overflow. In such cases, we have to rely on syncookie verification to drop the packet. We unfortunately have no way to differentiate between a fresh and a stale syncookie timestamp. In practice, using last_overflow as lower bound is problematic. If the synflood timestamp is concurrently updated between the time we read jiffies and the moment we store the timestamp in 'last_overflow', then 'now' becomes smaller than 'last_overflow' and tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() returns true, potentially dropping a valid syncookie. Reading jiffies after loading the timestamp could fix the problem, but that'd require a memory barrier. Let's just accommodate for potential timestamp growth instead and extend the interval using 'last_overflow - HZ' as lower bound.

syncookies: split cookie_check_timestamp() into two functions The function cookie_check_timestamp(), both called from IPv4/6 context, is being used to decode the echoed timestamp from the SYN/ACK into TCP options used for follow-up communication with the peer. We can remove ECN handling from that function, split it into a separate one, and simply rename the original function into cookie_decode_options(). cookie_decode_options() just fills in tcp_option struct based on the echoed timestamp received from the peer. Anything that fails in this function will actually discard the request socket. While this is the natural place for decoding options such as ECN which commit 172d69e63c7f ("syncookies: add support for ECN") added, we argue that in particular for ECN handling, it can be checked at a later point in time as the request sock would actually not need to be dropped from this, but just ECN support turned off. Therefore, we split this functionality into cookie_ecn_ok(), which tells us if the timestamp indicates ECN support AND the tcp_ecn sysctl is enabled. This prepares for per-route ECN support: just looking at the tcp_ecn sysctl won't be enough anymore at that point; if the timestamp indicates ECN and sysctl tcp_ecn == 0, we will also need to check the ECN dst metric. This would mean adding a route lookup to cookie_check_timestamp(), which we definitely want to avoid. As we already do a route lookup at a later point in cookie_{v4,v6}_check(), we can simply make use of that as well for the new cookie_ecn_ok() function w/o any additional cost.

tcp: add reordering timer in RACK loss detection 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.

tcp: implement rb-tree based retransmit queue 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.

tcp: when scheduling TLP, time of RTO should account for current ACK Fix the TLP scheduling logic so that when scheduling a TLP probe, we ensure that the estimated time at which an RTO would fire accounts for the fact that ACKs indicating forward progress should push back RTO times. After the following fix: df92c8394e6e ("tcp: fix xmit timer to only be reset if data ACKed/SACKed") we had an unintentional behavior change in the following kind of scenario: suppose the RTT variance has been very low recently. Then suppose we send out a flight of N packets and our RTT is 100ms: t=0: send a flight of N packets t=100ms: receive an ACK for N-1 packets The response before df92c8394e6e that was: -> schedule a TLP for now + RTO_interval The response after df92c8394e6e is: -> schedule a TLP for t=0 + RTO_interval Since RTO_interval = srtt + RTT_variance, this means that we have scheduled a TLP timer at a point in the future that only accounts for RTT_variance. If the RTT_variance term is small, this means that the timer fires soon. Before df92c8394e6e this would not happen, because in that code, when we receive an ACK for a prefix of flight, we did: 1) Near the top of tcp_ack(), switch from TLP timer to RTO at write_queue_head->paket_tx_time + RTO_interval: if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_LOSS_PROBE) tcp_rearm_rto(sk); 2) In tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), update the RTO to now + RTO_interval: if (flag & FLAG_ACKED) { tcp_rearm_rto(sk); 3) In tcp_ack() after tcp_fastretrans_alert() switch from RTO to TLP at now + RTO_interval: if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_RETRANS) tcp_schedule_loss_probe(sk); In df92c8394e6e we removed that 3-phase dance, and instead directly set the TLP timer once: we set the TLP timer in cases like this to write_queue_head->packet_tx_time + RTO_interval. So if the RTT variance is small, then this means that this is setting the TLP timer to fire quite soon. This means if the ACK for the tail of the flight takes longer than an RTT to arrive (often due to delayed ACKs), then the TLP timer fires too quickly.

tcp: usec resolution SYN/ACK RTT Currently SYN/ACK RTT is measured in jiffies. For LAN the SYN/ACK RTT is often measured as 0ms or sometimes 1ms, which would affect RTT estimation and min RTT samping used by some congestion control. This patch improves SYN/ACK RTT to be usec resolution if platform supports it. While the timestamping of SYN/ACK is done in request sock, the RTT measurement is carefully arranged to avoid storing another u64 timestamp in tcp_sock. For regular handshake w/o SYNACK retransmission, the RTT is sampled right after the child socket is created and right before the request sock is released (tcp_check_req() in tcp_minisocks.c) For Fast Open the child socket is already created when SYN/ACK was sent, the RTT is sampled in tcp_rcv_state_process() after processing the final ACK an right before the request socket is released. If the SYN/ACK was retransmistted or SYN-cookie was used, we rely on TCP timestamps to measure the RTT. The sample is taken at the same place in tcp_rcv_state_process() after the timestamp values are validated in tcp_validate_incoming(). Note that we do not store TS echo value in request_sock for SYN-cookies, because the value is already stored in tp->rx_opt used by tcp_ack_update_rtt(). One side benefit is that the RTT measurement now happens before initializing congestion control (of the passive side). Therefore the congestion control can use the SYN/ACK RTT.

tcp: drop secpath at the same time as we currently drop dst 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.

bpf: Fix wrong copied_seq calculation 'sk->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->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->sk_psock_verdict_data_ready->tcp_read_skb to remove updating 'sk->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->strp_data_ready->tcp_read_sock). tcp_read_sock() now still updates 'sk->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->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.

tcp: derive delack_max from rto_min While BPF allows to set icsk->->icsk_delack_max and/or icsk->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.

net: tcp: add per route congestion control This work adds the possibility to define a per route/destination congestion control algorithm. Generally, this opens up the possibility for a machine with different links to enforce specific congestion control algorithms with optimal strategies for each of them based on their network characteristics, even transparently for a single application listening on all links. For our specific use case, this additionally facilitates deployment of DCTCP, for example, applications can easily serve internal traffic/dsts in DCTCP and external one with CUBIC. Other scenarios would also allow for utilizing e.g. long living, low priority background flows for certain destinations/routes while still being able for normal traffic to utilize the default congestion control algorithm. We also thought about a per netns setting (where different defaults are possible), but given its actually a link specific property, we argue that a per route/destination setting is the most natural and flexible. The administrator can utilize this through ip-route(8) by appending "congctl [lock] <name>", where <name> denotes the name of a congestion control algorithm and the optional lock parameter allows to enforce the given algorithm so that applications in user space would not be allowed to overwrite that algorithm for that destination. The dst metric lookups are being done when a dst entry is already available in order to avoid a costly lookup and still before the algorithms are being initialized, thus overhead is very low when the feature is not being used. While the client side would need to drop the current reference on the module, on server side this can actually even be avoided as we just got a flat-copied socket clone.

tcp: track min RTT using windowed min-filter Kathleen Nichols' algorithm for tracking the minimum RTT of a data stream over some measurement window. It uses constant space and constant time per update. Yet it almost always delivers the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all the data in the window. The measurement window is tunable via sysctl.net.ipv4.tcp_min_rtt_wlen with a default value of 5 minutes. The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing over the window. Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because it has no value - the new min is less than everything else in the window by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh on every new min and overwrites the 2nd & 3rd choices. The same property holds for the 2nd & 3rd best. Therefore we have to maintain two invariants to maximize the information in the samples, one on values (1st.v <= 2nd.v <= 3rd.v) and the other on times (now-win <=1st.t <= 2nd.t <= 3rd.t <= now). These invariants determine the structure of the code The RTT input to the windowed filter is the minimum RTT measured from ACK or SACK, or as the last resort from TCP timestamps. The accessor tcp_min_rtt() returns the minimum RTT seen in the window. ~0U indicates it is not available. The minimum is 1usec even if the true RTT is below that.

tcp: implement RFC 7323 window retraction receiver requirements By default, the Linux TCP implementation does not shrink the advertised window (RFC 7323 calls this "window retraction") with the following exceptions: - When an incoming segment cannot be added due to the receive buffer running out of memory. Since commit 8c670bdfa58e ("tcp: correct handling of extreme memory squeeze") a zero window will be advertised in this case. It turns out that reaching the required memory pressure is easy when window scaling is in use. In the simplest case, sending a sufficient number of segments smaller than the scale factor to a receiver that does not read data is enough. - Commit b650d953cd39 ("tcp: enforce receive buffer memory limits by allowing the tcp window to shrink") addressed the "eating memory" problem by introducing a sysctl knob that allows shrinking the window before running out of memory. However, RFC 7323 does not only state that shrinking the window is necessary in some cases, it also formulates requirements for TCP implementations when doing so (Section 2.4). This commit addresses the receiver-side requirements: After retracting the window, the peer may have a snd_nxt that lies within a previously advertised window but is now beyond the retracted window. This means that all incoming segments (including pure ACKs) will be rejected until the application happens to read enough data to let the peer's snd_nxt be in window again (which may be never). To comply with RFC 7323, the receiver MUST honor any segment that would have been in window for any ACK sent by the receiver and, when window scaling is in effect, SHOULD track the maximum window sequence number it has advertised. This patch tracks that maximum window sequence number rcv_mwnd_seq throughout the connection and uses it in tcp_sequence() when deciding whether a segment is acceptable. rcv_mwnd_seq is updated together with rcv_wup and rcv_wnd in tcp_select_window(). If we count tcp_sequence() as fast path, it is read in the fast path. Therefore, rcv_mwnd_seq is put into rcv_wnd's cacheline group. The logic for handling received data in tcp_data_queue() is already sufficient and does not need to be updated.

tcp: add rfc3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallback This work as a follow-up of commit f7b3bec6f516 ("net: allow setting ecn via routing table") and adds RFC3168 section 6.1.1.1. fallback for outgoing ECN connections. In other words, this work adds a retry with a non-ECN setup SYN packet, as suggested from the RFC on the first timeout: [...] A host that receives no reply to an ECN-setup SYN within the normal SYN retransmission timeout interval MAY resend the SYN and any subsequent SYN retransmissions with CWR and ECE cleared.

tcp: accecn: AccECN negotiation Accurate ECN negotiation parts based on the specification: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt Accurate ECN is negotiated using ECE, CWR and AE flags in the TCP header. TCP falls back into using RFC3168 ECN if one of the ends supports only RFC3168-style ECN. The AccECN negotiation includes reflecting IP ECN field value seen in SYN and SYNACK back using the same bits as negotiation to allow responding to SYN CE marks and to detect ECN field mangling. CE marks should not occur currently because SYN=1 segments are sent with Non-ECT in IP ECN field (but proposal exists to remove this restriction). Reflecting SYN IP ECN field in SYNACK is relatively simple. Reflecting SYNACK IP ECN field in the final/third ACK of the handshake is more challenging. Linux TCP code is not well prepared for using the final/third ACK a signalling channel which makes things somewhat complicated here. tcp_ecn sysctl can be used to select the highest ECN variant (Accurate ECN, ECN, No ECN) that is attemped to be negotiated and requested for incoming connection and outgoing connection: TCP_ECN_IN_NOECN_OUT_NOECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ECN_OUT_ECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ECN_OUT_NOECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_ACCECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_ECN, and TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_NOECN.

tcp: AccECN core This change implements Accurate ECN without negotiation and AccECN Option (that will be added by later changes). Based on AccECN specifications: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt Accurate ECN allows feeding back the number of CE (congestion experienced) marks accurately to the sender in contrast to RFC3168 ECN that can only signal one marks-seen-yes/no per RTT. Congestion control algorithms can take advantage of the accurate ECN information to fine-tune their congestion response to avoid drastic rate reduction when only mild congestion is encountered. With Accurate ECN, tp->received_ce (r.cep in AccECN spec) keeps track of how many segments have arrived with a CE mark. Accurate ECN uses ACE field (ECE, CWR, AE) to communicate the value back to the sender which updates tp->delivered_ce (s.cep) based on the feedback. This signalling channel is lossy when ACE field overflow occurs. Conservative strategy is selected here to deal with the ACE overflow, however, some strategies using the AccECN option later in the overall patchset mitigate against false overflows detected. The ACE field values on the wire are offset by TCP_ACCECN_CEP_INIT_OFFSET. Delivered_ce/received_ce count the real CE marks rather than forcing all downstream users to adapt to the wire offset. This patch uses the first 1-byte hole and the last 4-byte hole of the tcp_sock_write_txrx for 'received_ce_pending' and 'received_ce'. Also, the group size of tcp_sock_write_txrx is increased from 91 + 4 to 95 + 4 due to the new u32 received_ce member. Below are the trimmed pahole outcomes before and after this patch.

tcp: accecn: AccECN option The Accurate ECN allows echoing back the sum of bytes for each IP ECN field value in the received packets using AccECN option. This change implements AccECN option tx & rx side processing without option send control related features that are added by a later change. Based on specification: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt (Some features of the spec will be added in the later changes rather than in this one). A full-length AccECN option is always attempted but if it does not fit, the minimum length is selected based on the counters that have changed since the last update. The AccECN option (with 24-bit fields) often ends in odd sizes so the option write code tries to take advantage of some nop used to pad the other TCP options. The delivered_ecn_bytes pairs with received_ecn_bytes similar to how delivered_ce pairs with received_ce. In contrast to ACE field, however, the option is not always available to update delivered_ecn_bytes. For ACK w/o AccECN option, the delivered bytes calculated based on the cumulative ACK+SACK information are assigned to one of the counters using an estimation heuristic to select the most likely ECN byte counter. Any estimation error is corrected when the next AccECN option arrives. It may occur that the heuristic gets too confused when there are enough different byte counter deltas between ACKs with the AccECN option in which case the heuristic just gives up on updating the counters for a while. tcp_ecn_option sysctl can be used to select option sending mode for AccECN: TCP_ECN_OPTION_DISABLED, TCP_ECN_OPTION_MINIMUM, and TCP_ECN_OPTION_FULL. This patch increases the size of tcp_info struct, as there is no existing holes for new u32 variables. Below are the pahole outcomes before and after this patch: [BEFORE THIS PATCH] struct tcp_info { [...] __u32 tcpi_total_rto_time; /* 244 4 */ /* size: 248, cachelines: 4, members: 61 */ } [AFTER THIS PATCH] struct tcp_info { [...] __u32 tcpi_total_rto_time; /* 244 4 */ __u32 tcpi_received_ce; /* 248 4 */ __u32 tcpi_delivered_e1_bytes; /* 252 4 */ __u32 tcpi_delivered_e0_bytes; /* 256 4 */ __u32 tcpi_delivered_ce_bytes; /* 260 4 */ __u32 tcpi_received_e1_bytes; /* 264 4 */ __u32 tcpi_received_e0_bytes; /* 268 4 */ __u32 tcpi_received_ce_bytes; /* 272 4 */ /* size: 280, cachelines: 5, members: 68 */ } This patch uses the existing 1-byte holes in the tcp_sock_write_txrx group for new u8 members, but adds a 4-byte hole in tcp_sock_write_rx group after the new u32 delivered_ecn_bytes[3] member.

tcp: fix stale per-CPU tcp_tw_isn leak enabling ISN prediction Blamed commit moved the TIME_WAIT-derived ISN from the skb control block to a per-CPU variable, assuming the value would always be consumed by tcp_conn_request() for the same packet that wrote it. That assumption is violated by multiple drop paths between the producer (__this_cpu_write(tcp_tw_isn, isn) in tcp_v{4,6}_rcv()) and the consumer (tcp_conn_request()): - min_ttl / min_hopcount check - xfrm policy check - tcp_inbound_hash() MD5/AO mismatch - tcp_filter() eBPF/SO_ATTACH_FILTER drop - th->syn && th->fin discard in tcp_rcv_state_process() TCP_LISTEN - psp_sk_rx_policy_check() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv() - tcp_checksum_complete() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv() - tcp_v{4,6}_cookie_check() returning NULL When a packet is dropped on any of these paths, tcp_tw_isn is left set. The next SYN processed on the same CPU then consumes the non zero value in tcp_conn_request(), receiving a potentially predictable ISN. This patch moves back tcp_tw_isn to skb->cb[], getting rid of the per-cpu variable. Note that tcp_v{4,6}_fill_cb() do not set it.

tcp: fix stale per-CPU tcp_tw_isn leak enabling ISN prediction Blamed commit moved the TIME_WAIT-derived ISN from the skb control block to a per-CPU variable, assuming the value would always be consumed by tcp_conn_request() for the same packet that wrote it. That assumption is violated by multiple drop paths between the producer (__this_cpu_write(tcp_tw_isn, isn) in tcp_v{4,6}_rcv()) and the consumer (tcp_conn_request()): - min_ttl / min_hopcount check - xfrm policy check - tcp_inbound_hash() MD5/AO mismatch - tcp_filter() eBPF/SO_ATTACH_FILTER drop - th->syn && th->fin discard in tcp_rcv_state_process() TCP_LISTEN - psp_sk_rx_policy_check() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv() - tcp_checksum_complete() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv() - tcp_v{4,6}_cookie_check() returning NULL When a packet is dropped on any of these paths, tcp_tw_isn is left set. The next SYN processed on the same CPU then consumes the non zero value in tcp_conn_request(), receiving a potentially predictable ISN. This patch moves back tcp_tw_isn to skb->cb[], getting rid of the per-cpu variable. Note that tcp_v{4,6}_fill_cb() do not set it.

tcp: Make use of MSG_EOR in tcp_sendmsg This patch adds an eor bit to the TCP_SKB_CB. When MSG_EOR is passed to tcp_sendmsg, the eor bit will be set at the skb containing the last byte of the userland's msg. The eor bit will prevent data from appending to that skb in the future. The change in do_tcp_sendpages is to honor the eor set during the previous tcp_sendmsg(MSG_EOR) call. This patch handles the tcp_sendmsg case. The followup patches will handle other skb coalescing and fragment cases. One potential use case is to use MSG_EOR with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK to get a more accurate TCP ack timestamping on application protocol with multiple outgoing response messages (e.g. HTTP2).

tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connection This patch generates data delivery rate (throughput) samples on a per-ACK basis. These rate samples can be used by congestion control modules, and specifically will be used by TCP BBR in later patches in this series. Key state: tp->delivered: Tracks the total number of data packets (original or not) delivered so far. This is an already-existing field. tp->delivered_mstamp: the last time tp->delivered was updated. Algorithm: A rate sample is calculated as (d1 - d0)/(t1 - t0) on a per-ACK basis: d1: the current tp->delivered after processing the ACK t1: the current time after processing the ACK d0: the prior tp->delivered when the acked skb was transmitted t0: the prior tp->delivered_mstamp when the acked skb was transmitted When an skb is transmitted, we snapshot d0 and t0 in its control block in tcp_rate_skb_sent(). When an ACK arrives, it may SACK and ACK some skbs. For each SACKed or ACKed skb, tcp_rate_skb_delivered() updates the rate_sample struct to reflect the latest (d0, t0). Finally, tcp_rate_gen() generates a rate sample by storing (d1 - d0) in rs->delivered and (t1 - t0) in rs->interval_us. One caveat: if an skb was sent with no packets in flight, then tp->delivered_mstamp may be either invalid (if the connection is starting) or outdated (if the connection was idle). In that case, we'll re-stamp tp->delivered_mstamp. At first glance it seems t0 should always be the time when an skb was transmitted, but actually this could over-estimate the rate due to phase mismatch between transmit and ACK events. To track the delivery rate, we ensure that if packets are in flight then t0 and and t1 are times at which packets were marked delivered. If the initial and final RTTs are different then one may be corrupted by some sort of noise. The noise we see most often is sending gaps caused by delayed, compressed, or stretched acks. This either affects both RTTs equally or artificially reduces the final RTT. We approach this by recording the info we need to compute the initial RTT (duration of the "send phase" of the window) when we recorded the associated inflight. Then, for a filter to avoid bandwidth overestimates, we generalize the per-sample bandwidth computation from: bw = delivered / ack_phase_rtt to the following: bw = delivered / max(send_phase_rtt, ack_phase_rtt) In large-scale experiments, this filtering approach incorporating send_phase_rtt is effective at avoiding bandwidth overestimates due to ACK compression or stretched ACKs.

net: Require exact match for TCP socket lookups if dif is l3mdev Currently, socket lookups for l3mdev (vrf) use cases can match a socket that is bound to a port but not a device (ie., a global socket). If the sysctl tcp_l3mdev_accept is not set this leads to ack packets going out based on the main table even though the packet came in from an L3 domain. The end result is that the connection does not establish creating confusion for users since the service is running and a socket shows in ss output. Fix by requiring an exact dif to sk_bound_dev_if match if the skb came through an interface enslaved to an l3mdev device and the tcp_l3mdev_accept is not set. skb's through an l3mdev interface are marked by setting a flag in inet{6}_skb_parm. The IPv6 variant is already set; this patch adds the flag for IPv4. Using an skb flag avoids a device lookup on the dif. The flag is set in the VRF driver using the IP{6}CB macros. For IPv4, the inet_skb_parm struct is moved in the cb per commit 971f10eca186, so the match function in the TCP stack needs to use TCP_SKB_CB. For IPv6, the move is done after the socket lookup, so IP6CB is used. The flags field in inet_skb_parm struct needs to be increased to add another flag. There is currently a 1-byte hole following the flags, so it can be expanded to u16 without increasing the size of the struct.

net: avoid double accounting for pure zerocopy skbs Track skbs containing only zerocopy data and avoid charging them to kernel memory to correctly account the memory utilization for msg_zerocopy. All of the data in such skbs is held in user pages which are already accounted to user. Before this change, they are charged again in kernel in __zerocopy_sg_from_iter. The charging in kernel is excessive because data is not being copied into skb frags. This excessive charging can lead to kernel going into memory pressure state which impacts all sockets in the system adversely. Mark pure zerocopy skbs with a SKBFL_PURE_ZEROCOPY flag and remove charge/uncharge for data in such skbs. Initially, an skb is marked pure zerocopy when it is empty and in zerocopy path. skb can then change from a pure zerocopy skb to mixed data skb (zerocopy and copy data) if it is at tail of write queue and there is room available in it and non-zerocopy data is being sent in the next sendmsg call. At this time sk_mem_charge is done for the pure zerocopied data and the pure zerocopy flag is unmarked. We found that this happens very rarely on workloads that pass MSG_ZEROCOPY. A pure zerocopy skb can later be coalesced into normal skb if they are next to each other in queue but this patch prevents coalescing from happening. This avoids complexity of charging when skb downgrades from pure zerocopy to mixed. This is also rare. In sk_wmem_free_skb, if it is a pure zerocopy skb, an sk_mem_uncharge for SKB_TRUESIZE(skb_end_offset(skb)) is done for sk_mem_charge in tcp_skb_entail for an skb without data. Testing with the msg_zerocopy.c benchmark between two hosts(100G nics) with zerocopy showed that before this patch the 'sock' variable in memory.stat for cgroup2 that tracks sum of sk_forward_alloc, sk_rmem_alloc and sk_wmem_queued is around 1822720 and with this change it is 0. This is due to no charge to sk_forward_alloc for zerocopy data and shows memory utilization for kernel is lowered.

net: tcp: add key management to congestion control This patch adds necessary infrastructure to the congestion control framework for later per route congestion control support. For a per route congestion control possibility, our aim is to store a unique u32 key identifier into dst metrics, which can then be mapped into a tcp_congestion_ops struct. We argue that having a RTAX key entry is the most simple, generic and easy way to manage, and also keeps the memory footprint of dst entries lower on 64 bit than with storing a pointer directly, for example. Having a unique key id also allows for decoupling actual TCP congestion control module management from the FIB layer, i.e. we don't have to care about expensive module refcounting inside the FIB at this point. We first thought of using an IDR store for the realization, which takes over dynamic assignment of unused key space and also performs the key to pointer mapping in RCU. While doing so, we stumbled upon the issue that due to the nature of dynamic key distribution, it just so happens, arguably in very rare occasions, that excessive module loads and unloads can lead to a possible reuse of previously used key space. Thus, previously stale keys in the dst metric are now being reassigned to a different congestion control algorithm, which might lead to unexpected behaviour. One way to resolve this would have been to walk FIBs on the actually rare occasion of a module unload and reset the metric keys for each FIB in each netns, but that's just very costly. Therefore, we argue a better solution is to reuse the unique congestion control algorithm name member and map that into u32 key space through jhash. For that, we split the flags attribute (as it currently uses 2 bits only anyway) into two u32 attributes, flags and key, so that we can keep the cacheline boundary of 2 cachelines on x86_64 and cache the precalculated key at registration time for the fast path. On average we might expect 2 - 4 modules being loaded worst case perhaps 15, so a key collision possibility is extremely low, and guaranteed collision-free on LE/BE for all in-tree modules. Overall this results in much simpler code, and all without the overhead of an IDR. Due to the deterministic nature, modules can now be unloaded, the congestion control algorithm for a specific but unloaded key will fall back to the default one, and on module reload time it will switch back to the expected algorithm transparently.

tcp: track application-limited rate samples This commit adds code to track whether the delivery rate represented by each rate_sample was limited by the application. Upon each transmit, we store in the is_app_limited field in the skb a boolean bit indicating whether there is a known "bubble in the pipe": a point in the rate sample interval where the sender was application-limited, and did not transmit even though the cwnd and pacing rate allowed it. This logic marks the flow app-limited on a write if *all* of the following are true: 1) There is less than 1 MSS of unsent data in the write queue available to transmit. 2) There is no packet in the sender's queues (e.g. in fq or the NIC tx queue). 3) The connection is not limited by cwnd. 4) There are no lost packets to retransmit. The tcp_rate_check_app_limited() code in tcp_rate.c determines whether the connection is application-limited at the moment. If the flow is application-limited, it sets the tp->app_limited field. If the flow is application-limited then that means there is effectively a "bubble" of silence in the pipe now, and this silence will be reflected in a lower bandwidth sample for any rate samples from now until we get an ACK indicating this bubble has exited the pipe: specifically, until we get an ACK for the next packet we transmit. When we send every skb we record in scb->tx.is_app_limited whether the resulting rate sample will be application-limited. The code in tcp_rate_gen() checks to see when it is safe to mark all known application-limited bubbles of silence as having exited the pipe. It does this by checking to see when the delivered count moves past the tp->app_limited marker. At this point it zeroes the tp->app_limited marker, as all known bubbles are out of the pipe. We make room for the tx.is_app_limited bit in the skb by borrowing a bit from the in_flight field used by NV to record the number of bytes in flight. The receive window in the TCP header is 16 bits, and the max receive window scaling shift factor is 14 (RFC 1323). So the max receive window offered by the TCP protocol is 2^(16+14) = 2^30. So we only need 30 bits for the tx.in_flight used by NV.

bpf: tcp: Support tcp_congestion_ops in bpf This patch makes "struct tcp_congestion_ops" to be the first user of BPF STRUCT_OPS. It allows implementing a tcp_congestion_ops in bpf. The BPF implemented tcp_congestion_ops can be used like regular kernel tcp-cc through sysctl and setsockopt. e.g. [root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# sysctl -a | egrep congestion net.ipv4.tcp_allowed_congestion_control = reno cubic bpf_cubic net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control = reno bic cubic bpf_cubic net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = bpf_cubic There has been attempt to move the TCP CC to the user space (e.g. CCP in TCP). The common arguments are faster turn around, get away from long-tail kernel versions in production...etc, which are legit points. BPF has been the continuous effort to join both kernel and userspace upsides together (e.g. XDP to gain the performance advantage without bypassing the kernel). The recent BPF advancements (in particular BTF-aware verifier, BPF trampoline, BPF CO-RE...) made implementing kernel struct ops (e.g. tcp cc) possible in BPF. It allows a faster turnaround for testing algorithm in the production while leveraging the existing (and continue growing) BPF feature/framework instead of building one specifically for userspace TCP CC. This patch allows write access to a few fields in tcp-sock (in bpf_tcp_ca_btf_struct_access()). The optional "get_info" is unsupported now. It can be added later. One possible way is to output the info with a btf-id to describe the content.

net: tcp: add key management to congestion control This patch adds necessary infrastructure to the congestion control framework for later per route congestion control support. For a per route congestion control possibility, our aim is to store a unique u32 key identifier into dst metrics, which can then be mapped into a tcp_congestion_ops struct. We argue that having a RTAX key entry is the most simple, generic and easy way to manage, and also keeps the memory footprint of dst entries lower on 64 bit than with storing a pointer directly, for example. Having a unique key id also allows for decoupling actual TCP congestion control module management from the FIB layer, i.e. we don't have to care about expensive module refcounting inside the FIB at this point. We first thought of using an IDR store for the realization, which takes over dynamic assignment of unused key space and also performs the key to pointer mapping in RCU. While doing so, we stumbled upon the issue that due to the nature of dynamic key distribution, it just so happens, arguably in very rare occasions, that excessive module loads and unloads can lead to a possible reuse of previously used key space. Thus, previously stale keys in the dst metric are now being reassigned to a different congestion control algorithm, which might lead to unexpected behaviour. One way to resolve this would have been to walk FIBs on the actually rare occasion of a module unload and reset the metric keys for each FIB in each netns, but that's just very costly. Therefore, we argue a better solution is to reuse the unique congestion control algorithm name member and map that into u32 key space through jhash. For that, we split the flags attribute (as it currently uses 2 bits only anyway) into two u32 attributes, flags and key, so that we can keep the cacheline boundary of 2 cachelines on x86_64 and cache the precalculated key at registration time for the fast path. On average we might expect 2 - 4 modules being loaded worst case perhaps 15, so a key collision possibility is extremely low, and guaranteed collision-free on LE/BE for all in-tree modules. Overall this results in much simpler code, and all without the overhead of an IDR. Due to the deterministic nature, modules can now be unloaded, the congestion control algorithm for a specific but unloaded key will fall back to the default one, and on module reload time it will switch back to the expected algorithm transparently.

tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connection This patch generates data delivery rate (throughput) samples on a per-ACK basis. These rate samples can be used by congestion control modules, and specifically will be used by TCP BBR in later patches in this series. Key state: tp->delivered: Tracks the total number of data packets (original or not) delivered so far. This is an already-existing field. tp->delivered_mstamp: the last time tp->delivered was updated. Algorithm: A rate sample is calculated as (d1 - d0)/(t1 - t0) on a per-ACK basis: d1: the current tp->delivered after processing the ACK t1: the current time after processing the ACK d0: the prior tp->delivered when the acked skb was transmitted t0: the prior tp->delivered_mstamp when the acked skb was transmitted When an skb is transmitted, we snapshot d0 and t0 in its control block in tcp_rate_skb_sent(). When an ACK arrives, it may SACK and ACK some skbs. For each SACKed or ACKed skb, tcp_rate_skb_delivered() updates the rate_sample struct to reflect the latest (d0, t0). Finally, tcp_rate_gen() generates a rate sample by storing (d1 - d0) in rs->delivered and (t1 - t0) in rs->interval_us. One caveat: if an skb was sent with no packets in flight, then tp->delivered_mstamp may be either invalid (if the connection is starting) or outdated (if the connection was idle). In that case, we'll re-stamp tp->delivered_mstamp. At first glance it seems t0 should always be the time when an skb was transmitted, but actually this could over-estimate the rate due to phase mismatch between transmit and ACK events. To track the delivery rate, we ensure that if packets are in flight then t0 and and t1 are times at which packets were marked delivered. If the initial and final RTTs are different then one may be corrupted by some sort of noise. The noise we see most often is sending gaps caused by delayed, compressed, or stretched acks. This either affects both RTTs equally or artificially reduces the final RTT. We approach this by recording the info we need to compute the initial RTT (duration of the "send phase" of the window) when we recorded the associated inflight. Then, for a filter to avoid bandwidth overestimates, we generalize the per-sample bandwidth computation from: bw = delivered / ack_phase_rtt to the following: bw = delivered / max(send_phase_rtt, ack_phase_rtt) In large-scale experiments, this filtering approach incorporating send_phase_rtt is effective at avoiding bandwidth overestimates due to ACK compression or stretched ACKs.

tcp: fix cwnd limited checking to improve congestion control Yuchung discovered tcp_is_cwnd_limited() was returning false in slow start phase even if the application filled the socket write queue. All congestion modules take into account tcp_is_cwnd_limited() before increasing cwnd, so this behavior limits slow start from probing the bandwidth at full speed. The problem is that even if write queue is full (aka we are _not_ application limited), cwnd can be under utilized if TSO should auto defer or TCP Small queues decided to hold packets. So the in_flight can be kept to smaller value, and we can get to the point tcp_is_cwnd_limited() returns false. With TCP Small Queues and FQ/pacing, this issue is more visible. We fix this by having tcp_cwnd_validate(), which is supposed to track such things, take into account unsent_segs, the number of segs that we are not sending at the moment due to TSO or TSQ, but intend to send real soon. Then when we are cwnd-limited, remember this fact while we are processing the window of ACKs that comes back. For example, suppose we have a brand new connection with cwnd=10; we are in slow start, and we send a flight of 9 packets. By the time we have received ACKs for all 9 packets we want our cwnd to be 18. We implement this by setting tp->lsnd_pending to 9, and considering ourselves to be cwnd-limited while cwnd is less than twice tp->lsnd_pending (2*9 -> 18). This makes tcp_is_cwnd_limited() more understandable, by removing the GSO/TSO kludge, that tried to work around the issue. Note the in_flight parameter can be removed in a followup cleanup patch.

tcp: fix tcp_cwnd_validate() to not forget is_cwnd_limited This commit fixes a bug in the tracking of max_packets_out and is_cwnd_limited. This bug can cause the connection to fail to remember that is_cwnd_limited is true, causing the connection to fail to grow cwnd when it should, causing throughput to be lower than it should be. The following event sequence is an example that triggers the bug: (a) The connection is cwnd_limited, but packets_out is not at its peak due to TSO deferral deciding not to send another skb yet. In such cases the connection can advance max_packets_seq and set tp->is_cwnd_limited to true and max_packets_out to a small number. (b) Then later in the round trip the connection is pacing-limited (not cwnd-limited), and packets_out is larger. In such cases the connection would raise max_packets_out to a bigger number but (unexpectedly) flip tp->is_cwnd_limited from true to false. This commit fixes that bug. One straightforward fix would be to separately track (a) the next window after max_packets_out reaches a maximum, and (b) the next window after tp->is_cwnd_limited is set to true. But this would require consuming an extra u32 sequence number. Instead, to save space we track only the most important information. Specifically, we track the strongest available signal of the degree to which the cwnd is fully utilized: (1) If the connection is cwnd-limited then we remember that fact for the current window. (2) If the connection not cwnd-limited then we track the maximum number of outstanding packets in the current window. In particular, note that the new logic cannot trigger the buggy (a)/(b) sequence above because with the new logic a condition where tp->packets_out > tp->max_packets_out can only trigger an update of tp->is_cwnd_limited if tp->is_cwnd_limited is false. This first showed up in a testing of a BBRv2 dev branch, but this buggy behavior highlighted a general issue with the tcp_cwnd_validate() logic that can cause cwnd to fail to increase at the proper rate for any TCP congestion control, including Reno or CUBIC.

tcp: increase the default TCP scaling ratio 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->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->len/skb->truesize, which is ~0.66 in our environment, the window stays at ~0.25 * rcvbuf. This is because tp->window_clamp does not change together with the tp->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.

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

bpf, sockmap: Incorrectly handling copied_seq The read_skb() logic is incrementing the tcp->copied_seq which is used for among other things calculating how many outstanding bytes can be read by the application. This results in application errors, if the application does an ioctl(FIONREAD) we return zero because this is calculated from the copied_seq value. To fix this we move tcp->copied_seq accounting into the recv handler so that we update these when the recvmsg() hook is called and data is in fact copied into user buffers. This gives an accurate FIONREAD value as expected and improves ACK handling. Before we were calling the tcp_rcv_space_adjust() which would update 'number of bytes copied to user in last RTT' which is wrong for programs returning SK_PASS. The bytes are only copied to the user when recvmsg is handled. Doing the fix for recvmsg is straightforward, but fixing redirect and SK_DROP pkts is a bit tricker. Build a tcp_psock_eat() helper and then call this from skmsg handlers. This fixes another issue where a broken socket with a BPF program doing a resubmit could hang the receiver. This happened because although read_skb() consumed the skb through sock_drop() it did not update the copied_seq. Now if a single reccv socket is redirecting to many sockets (for example for lb) the receiver sk will be hung even though we might expect it to continue. The hang comes from not updating the copied_seq numbers and memory pressure resulting from that. We have a slight layer problem of calling tcp_eat_skb even if its not a TCP socket. To fix we could refactor and create per type receiver handlers. I decided this is more work than we want in the fix and we already have some small tweaks depending on caller that use the helper skb_bpf_strparser(). So we extend that a bit and always set the strparser bit when it is in use and then we can gate the seq_copied updates on this.

tcp: AccECN core This change implements Accurate ECN without negotiation and AccECN Option (that will be added by later changes). Based on AccECN specifications: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt Accurate ECN allows feeding back the number of CE (congestion experienced) marks accurately to the sender in contrast to RFC3168 ECN that can only signal one marks-seen-yes/no per RTT. Congestion control algorithms can take advantage of the accurate ECN information to fine-tune their congestion response to avoid drastic rate reduction when only mild congestion is encountered. With Accurate ECN, tp->received_ce (r.cep in AccECN spec) keeps track of how many segments have arrived with a CE mark. Accurate ECN uses ACE field (ECE, CWR, AE) to communicate the value back to the sender which updates tp->delivered_ce (s.cep) based on the feedback. This signalling channel is lossy when ACE field overflow occurs. Conservative strategy is selected here to deal with the ACE overflow, however, some strategies using the AccECN option later in the overall patchset mitigate against false overflows detected. The ACE field values on the wire are offset by TCP_ACCECN_CEP_INIT_OFFSET. Delivered_ce/received_ce count the real CE marks rather than forcing all downstream users to adapt to the wire offset. This patch uses the first 1-byte hole and the last 4-byte hole of the tcp_sock_write_txrx for 'received_ce_pending' and 'received_ce'.

tcp: helpers to mitigate ACK loops by rate-limiting out-of-window dupacks Helpers for mitigating ACK loops by rate-limiting dupacks sent in response to incoming out-of-window packets. This patch includes: - rate-limiting logic - sysctl to control how often we allow dupacks to out-of-window packets - SNMP counter for cases where we rate-limited our dupack sending The rate-limiting logic in this patch decides to not send dupacks in response to out-of-window segments if (a) they are SYNs or pure ACKs and (b) the remote endpoint is sending them faster than the configured rate limit. We rate-limit our responses rather than blocking them entirely or resetting the connection, because legitimate connections can rely on dupacks in response to some out-of-window segments. For example, zero window probes are typically sent with a sequence number that is below the current window, and ZWPs thus expect to thus elicit a dupack in response. We allow dupacks in response to TCP segments with data, because these may be spurious retransmissions for which the remote endpoint wants to receive DSACKs. This is safe because segments with data can't realistically be part of ACK loops, which by their nature consist of each side sending pure/data-less ACKs to each other. The dupack interval is controlled by a new sysctl knob, tcp_invalid_ratelimit, given in milliseconds, in case an administrator needs to dial this upward in the face of a high-rate DoS attack. The name and units are chosen to be analogous to the existing analogous knob for ICMP, icmp_ratelimit. The default value for tcp_invalid_ratelimit is 500ms, which allows at most one such dupack per 500ms. This is chosen to be 2x faster than the 1-second minimum RTO interval allowed by RFC 6298 (section 2, rule 2.4). We allow the extra 2x factor because network delay variations can cause packets sent at 1 second intervals to be compressed and arrive much closer.

tcp: Convert tcp-md5 to use MD5 library instead of crypto_ahash Make tcp-md5 use the MD5 library API (added in 6.18) instead of the crypto_ahash API. This is much simpler and also more efficient: - The library API just operates on struct md5_ctx. Just allocate this struct on the stack instead of using a pool of pre-allocated crypto_ahash and ahash_request objects. - The library API accepts standard pointers and doesn't require scatterlists. So, for hashing the headers just use an on-stack buffer instead of a pool of pre-allocated kmalloc'ed scratch buffers. - The library API never fails. Therefore, checking for MD5 hashing errors is no longer necessary. Update tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb(), tcp_v6_md5_hash_skb(), tcp_v4_md5_hash_hdr(), tcp_v6_md5_hash_hdr(), tcp_md5_hash_key(), tcp_sock_af_ops::calc_md5_hash, and tcp_request_sock_ops::calc_md5_hash to return void instead of int. - The library API provides direct access to the MD5 code, eliminating unnecessary overhead such as indirect function calls and scatterlist management. Microbenchmarks of tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb() on x86_64 show a speedup from 7518 to 7041 cycles (6% fewer) with skb->len == 1440, or from 1020 to 678 cycles (33% fewer) with skb->len == 140. Since tcp_sigpool_hash_skb_data() can no longer be used, add a function tcp_md5_hash_skb_data() which is specialized to MD5. Of course, to the extent that this duplicates any code, it's well worth it. To preserve the existing behavior of TCP-MD5 support being disabled when the kernel is booted with "fips=1", make tcp_md5_do_add() check fips_enabled itself. Previously it relied on the error from crypto_alloc_ahash("md5") being bubbled up. I don't know for sure that this is actually needed, but this preserves the existing behavior. Tested with bidirectional TCP-MD5, both IPv4 and IPv6, between a kernel that includes this commit and a kernel that doesn't include this commit. (Side note: please don't use TCP-MD5! It's cryptographically weak. But as long as Linux supports it, it might as well be implemented properly.)

tcp: Destroy TCP-AO, TCP-MD5 keys in .sk_destruct() Currently there are a couple of minor issues with destroying the keys tcp_v4_destroy_sock(): 1.

tcp: Convert tcp-md5 to use MD5 library instead of crypto_ahash Make tcp-md5 use the MD5 library API (added in 6.18) instead of the crypto_ahash API. This is much simpler and also more efficient: - The library API just operates on struct md5_ctx. Just allocate this struct on the stack instead of using a pool of pre-allocated crypto_ahash and ahash_request objects. - The library API accepts standard pointers and doesn't require scatterlists. So, for hashing the headers just use an on-stack buffer instead of a pool of pre-allocated kmalloc'ed scratch buffers. - The library API never fails. Therefore, checking for MD5 hashing errors is no longer necessary. Update tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb(), tcp_v6_md5_hash_skb(), tcp_v4_md5_hash_hdr(), tcp_v6_md5_hash_hdr(), tcp_md5_hash_key(), tcp_sock_af_ops::calc_md5_hash, and tcp_request_sock_ops::calc_md5_hash to return void instead of int. - The library API provides direct access to the MD5 code, eliminating unnecessary overhead such as indirect function calls and scatterlist management. Microbenchmarks of tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb() on x86_64 show a speedup from 7518 to 7041 cycles (6% fewer) with skb->len == 1440, or from 1020 to 678 cycles (33% fewer) with skb->len == 140. Since tcp_sigpool_hash_skb_data() can no longer be used, add a function tcp_md5_hash_skb_data() which is specialized to MD5. Of course, to the extent that this duplicates any code, it's well worth it. To preserve the existing behavior of TCP-MD5 support being disabled when the kernel is booted with "fips=1", make tcp_md5_do_add() check fips_enabled itself. Previously it relied on the error from crypto_alloc_ahash("md5") being bubbled up. I don't know for sure that this is actually needed, but this preserves the existing behavior. Tested with bidirectional TCP-MD5, both IPv4 and IPv6, between a kernel that includes this commit and a kernel that doesn't include this commit. (Side note: please don't use TCP-MD5! It's cryptographically weak. But as long as Linux supports it, it might as well be implemented properly.)

net/tcp-fastopen: Add new API support This patch adds a new socket option, TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT, as an alternative way to perform Fast Open on the active side (client). Prior to this patch, a client needs to replace the connect() call with sendto(MSG_FASTOPEN). This can be cumbersome for applications who want to use Fast Open: these socket operations are often done in lower layer libraries used by many other applications. Changing these libraries and/or the socket call sequences are not trivial. A more convenient approach is to perform Fast Open by simply enabling a socket option when the socket is created w/o changing other socket calls sequence: s = socket() create a new socket setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT …); newly introduced sockopt If set, new functionality described below will be used. Return ENOTSUPP if TFO is not supported or not enabled in the kernel. connect() With cookie present, return 0 immediately. With no cookie, initiate 3WHS with TFO cookie-request option and return -1 with errno = EINPROGRESS. write()/sendmsg() With cookie present, send out SYN with data and return the number of bytes buffered. With no cookie, and 3WHS not yet completed, return -1 with errno = EINPROGRESS. No MSG_FASTOPEN flag is needed. read() Return -1 with errno = EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN if connect() is called but write() is not called yet. Return -1 with errno = EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN if connection is established but no msg is received yet. Return number of bytes read if socket is established and there is msg received. The new API simplifies life for applications that always perform a write() immediately after a successful connect(). Such applications can now take advantage of Fast Open by merely making one new setsockopt() call at the time of creating the socket. Nothing else about the application's socket call sequence needs to change.

net: ipv4: move tcp_fastopen server side code to SipHash library Using a bare block cipher in non-crypto code is almost always a bad idea, not only for security reasons (and we've seen some examples of this in the kernel in the past), but also for performance reasons. In the TCP fastopen case, we call into the bare AES block cipher one or two times (depending on whether the connection is IPv4 or IPv6). On most systems, this results in a call chain such as crypto_cipher_encrypt_one(ctx, dst, src) crypto_cipher_crt(tfm)->cit_encrypt_one(crypto_cipher_tfm(tfm), ...); aesni_encrypt kernel_fpu_begin(); aesni_enc(ctx, dst, src); // asm routine kernel_fpu_end(); It is highly unlikely that the use of special AES instructions has a benefit in this case, especially since we are doing the above twice for IPv6 connections, instead of using a transform which can process the entire input in one go. We could switch to the cbcmac(aes) shash, which would at least get rid of the duplicated overhead in *some* cases (i.e., today, only arm64 has an accelerated implementation of cbcmac(aes), while x86 will end up using the generic cbcmac template wrapping the AES-NI cipher, which basically ends up doing exactly the above). However, in the given context, it makes more sense to use a light-weight MAC algorithm that is more suitable for the purpose at hand, such as SipHash. Since the output size of SipHash already matches our chosen value for TCP_FASTOPEN_COOKIE_SIZE, and given that it accepts arbitrary input sizes, this greatly simplifies the code as well. NOTE: Server farms backing a single server IP for load balancing purposes and sharing a single fastopen key will be adversely affected by this change unless all systems in the pool receive their kernel upgrades at the same time.

Failing to proceed, the application (e.g., SSL library) may simply timeout and retry with TFO again, and the process repeats indefinitely. The proposed solution is to disable active TFO globally under the following circumstances: 1. client side TFO socket detects out of order FIN 2. client side TFO socket receives out of order RST We disable active side TFO globally for 1hr at first. Then if it happens again, we disable it for 2h, then 4h, 8h, ... And we reset the timeout to 1hr if a client side TFO sockets not opened on loopback has successfully received data segs from server. And we examine this condition during close(). The rational behind it is that when such firewall issue happens, application running on the client should eventually close the socket as it is not able to get the data it is expecting. Or application running on the server should close the socket as it is not able to receive any response from client. In both cases, out of order FIN or RST will get received on the client given that the firewall will not block them as no data are in those frames. And we want to disable active TFO globally as it helps if the middle box is very close to the client and most of the connections are likely to fail. Also, add a debug sysctl: tcp_fastopen_blackhole_detect_timeout_sec: the initial timeout to use when firewall blackhole issue happens. This can be set and read.

tcp: new list for sent but unacked skbs for RACK recovery This patch adds a new queue (list) that tracks the sent but not yet acked or SACKed skbs for a TCP connection. The list is chronologically ordered by skb->skb_mstamp (the head is the oldest sent skb). This list will be used to optimize TCP Rack recovery, which checks an skb's timestamp to judge if it has been lost and needs to be retransmitted. Since TCP write queue is ordered by sequence instead of sent time, RACK has to scan over the write queue to catch all eligible packets to detect lost retransmission, and iterates through SACKed skbs repeatedly. Special cares for rare events: 1. TCP repair fakes skb transmission so the send queue needs adjusted 2. SACK reneging would require re-inserting SACKed skbs into the send queue. For now I believe it's not worth the complexity to make RACK work perfectly on SACK reneging, so we do nothing here. 3. Fast Open: currently for non-TFO, send-queue correctly queues the pure SYN packet. For TFO which queues a pure SYN and then a data packet, send-queue only queues the data packet but not the pure SYN due to the structure of TFO code. This is okay because the SYN receiver would never respond with a SACK on a missing SYN (i.e. SYN is never fast-retransmitted by SACK/RACK). In order to not grow sk_buff, we use an union for the new list and _skb_refdst/destructor fields. This is a bit complicated because we need to make sure _skb_refdst and destructor are properly zeroed before skb is cloned/copied at transmit, and before being freed.

tcp: implement rb-tree based retransmit queue 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.

net: stub tcp_gro_complete if CONFIG_INET=n A few networking drivers including bnx2x, bnxt, qede, and idpf call tcp_gro_complete as part of offloading TCP GRO. The function is only defined if CONFIG_INET is true, since its TCP specific and is meaningless if the kernel lacks IP networking support. The combination of trying to use the complex network drivers with CONFIG_NET but not CONFIG_INET is rather unlikely in practice: most use cases are going to need IP networking. The tcp_gro_complete function just sets some data in the socket buffer for use in processing the TCP packet in the event that the GRO was offloaded to the device. If the kernel lacks TCP support, such setup will simply go unused. The bnx2x, bnxt, and qede drivers wrap their TCP offload support in CONFIG_INET checks and skip handling on such kernels. The idpf driver did not check CONFIG_INET and thus fails to link if the kernel is configured with CONFIG_NET=y, CONFIG_IDPF=(m|y), and CONFIG_INET=n. While checking CONFIG_INET does allow the driver to bypass significantly more instructions in the event that we know TCP networking isn't supported, the configuration is unlikely to be used widely. Rather than require driver authors to care about this, stub the tcp_gro_complete function when CONFIG_INET=n. This allows drivers to be left as-is. It does mean the idpf driver will perform slightly more work than strictly necessary when CONFIG_INET=n, since it will still execute some of the skb setup in idpf_rx_rsc. However, that work would be performed in the case where CONFIG_INET=y anyways. I did not change the existing drivers, since they appear to wrap a significant portion of code when CONFIG_INET=n. There is little benefit in trashing these drivers just to unwrap and remove the CONFIG_INET check. Using a stub for tcp_gro_complete is still beneficial, as it means future drivers no longer need to worry about this case of CONFIG_NET=y and CONFIG_INET=n, which should reduce noise from buildbots that check such a configuration.

tcp: TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option Idea of this patch is to add optional limitation of number of unsent bytes in TCP sockets, to reduce usage of kernel memory. TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted : Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room for the application to queue more bytes) For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time (or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg()) This patch adds two ways to set the limit : 1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT 2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value) Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect. This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls when using non blocking sockets, and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets. Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is defined as : Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol) Tested: netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458) lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 45458 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 45458 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y lpq83:~# echo 131072 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 20567 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 20567 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches.

TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted : Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room for the application to queue more bytes) For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time (or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg()) This patch adds two ways to set the limit : 1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT 2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value) Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect. This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls when using non blocking sockets, and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets. Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is defined as : Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol) Tested: netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458) lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 45458 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 45458 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y lpq83:~# echo 131072 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 20567 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 20567 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches.

tcp: Convert tcp-md5 to use MD5 library instead of crypto_ahash Make tcp-md5 use the MD5 library API (added in 6.18) instead of the crypto_ahash API. This is much simpler and also more efficient: - The library API just operates on struct md5_ctx. Just allocate this struct on the stack instead of using a pool of pre-allocated crypto_ahash and ahash_request objects. - The library API accepts standard pointers and doesn't require scatterlists. So, for hashing the headers just use an on-stack buffer instead of a pool of pre-allocated kmalloc'ed scratch buffers. - The library API never fails. Therefore, checking for MD5 hashing errors is no longer necessary. Update tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb(), tcp_v6_md5_hash_skb(), tcp_v4_md5_hash_hdr(), tcp_v6_md5_hash_hdr(), tcp_md5_hash_key(), tcp_sock_af_ops::calc_md5_hash, and tcp_request_sock_ops::calc_md5_hash to return void instead of int. - The library API provides direct access to the MD5 code, eliminating unnecessary overhead such as indirect function calls and scatterlist management. Microbenchmarks of tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb() on x86_64 show a speedup from 7518 to 7041 cycles (6% fewer) with skb->len == 1440, or from 1020 to 678 cycles (33% fewer) with skb->len == 140. Since tcp_sigpool_hash_skb_data() can no longer be used, add a function tcp_md5_hash_skb_data() which is specialized to MD5. Of course, to the extent that this duplicates any code, it's well worth it. To preserve the existing behavior of TCP-MD5 support being disabled when the kernel is booted with "fips=1", make tcp_md5_do_add() check fips_enabled itself. Previously it relied on the error from crypto_alloc_ahash("md5") being bubbled up. I don't know for sure that this is actually needed, but this preserves the existing behavior. Tested with bidirectional TCP-MD5, both IPv4 and IPv6, between a kernel that includes this commit and a kernel that doesn't include this commit. (Side note: please don't use TCP-MD5! It's cryptographically weak. But as long as Linux supports it, it might as well be implemented properly.)

bpf: tcp: Add bpf_skops_hdr_opt_len() and bpf_skops_write_hdr_opt() The bpf prog needs to parse the SYN header to learn what options have been sent by the peer's bpf-prog before writing its options into SYNACK. This patch adds a "syn_skb" arg to tcp_make_synack() and send_synack(). This syn_skb will eventually be made available (as read-only) to the bpf prog. This will be the only SYN packet available to the bpf prog during syncookie. For other regular cases, the bpf prog can also use the saved_syn. When writing options, the bpf prog will first be called to tell the kernel its required number of bytes. It is done by the new bpf_skops_hdr_opt_len(). The bpf prog will only be called when the new BPF_SOCK_OPS_WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG is set in tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags. When the bpf prog returns, the kernel will know how many bytes are needed and then update the "*remaining" arg accordingly. 4 byte alignment will be included in the "*remaining" before this function returns. The 4 byte aligned number of bytes will also be stored into the opts->bpf_opt_len. "bpf_opt_len" is a newly added member to the struct tcp_out_options. Then the new bpf_skops_write_hdr_opt() will call the bpf prog to write the header options. The bpf prog is only called if it has reserved spaces before (opts->bpf_opt_len > 0). The bpf prog is the last one getting a chance to reserve header space and writing the header option. These two functions are half implemented to highlight the changes in TCP stack. The actual codes preparing the bpf running context and invoking the bpf prog will be added in the later patch with other necessary bpf pieces.

tcp: rehash onto different local ECMP path on retransmit timeout Currently sk_rethink_txhash() re-rolls the socket's txhash on RTO, PLB, and spurious-retransmission events, but the cached route is reused and the new hash is not propagated into the ECMP path selection logic. Two changes are needed to make rehash select a different local ECMP path: 1. Add __sk_dst_reset() alongside sk_rethink_txhash() in tcp_write_timeout(), tcp_rcv_spurious_retrans(), and tcp_plb_check_rehash() so the cached dst is invalidated and the next transmit triggers a fresh route lookup. 2. Set fl6->mp_hash from sk_txhash (or tcp_rsk(req)->txhash for SYN/ACK retransmits and syncookies) in tcp_v6_connect(), inet6_sk_rebuild_header(), inet6_csk_route_req(), inet6_csk_route_socket(), tcp_v6_send_response(), and cookie_v6_check() so fib6_select_path() picks a path based on the new hash. The mp_hash override only applies to fib_multipath_hash_policy 0 (the default L3 policy). Its hash includes the flow label, but that is 0 by default -- np->flow_label is unset, and auto_flowlabels only computes the on-wire label later, per packet -- so flows to the same peer share one local path. Keying the hash on sk_txhash makes the local path per-connection and lets a rehash re-select it. Policies 1-3 are left unchanged. The mp_hash assignment is factored into a small helper, ip6_ecmp_set_mp_hash(), shared by inet6_csk_route_req(), inet6_csk_route_socket(), tcp_v6_connect(), inet6_sk_rebuild_header(), tcp_v6_send_response(), and cookie_v6_check(). It applies (txhash >> 1) ?: 1 for policy 0 (the >> 1 keeps mp_hash in the 31-bit range; ?: 1 keeps it non-zero, since 0 would fall back to rt6_multipath_hash()). inet6_csk_route_socket() calls it only for sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP so that non-TCP callers (e.g., L2TP via inet6_csk_xmit) fall through to rt6_multipath_hash() and retain their existing flow-key-based ECMP behavior. tcp_v6_send_response() also sets mp_hash from the response txhash so that a control packet (a RST from the full socket, or an ACK from a time-wait socket) selects the same local ECMP nexthop as the connection's txhash rather than falling back to the flow hash. The time-wait socket's tw_txhash is copied from sk_txhash when the connection enters TIME_WAIT, so it reflects any rehash that occurred. Setting mp_hash explicitly is necessary because the default ECMP hash derives from fl6->flowlabel via np->flow_label, which is not updated from sk_txhash (REPFLOW is off by default). ip6_make_flowlabel() cannot help either, as it runs after the route lookup. As a consequence, for policy 0 the local ECMP path of an IPv6 TCP flow follows sk_txhash even when fl6->flowlabel is non-zero, e.g. a reflected (REPFLOW) or explicitly set (IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR) flow label. This is intentional: only local path selection changes, so rehash can recover from a failed path; the on-wire flow label is unchanged. sk_set_txhash() is moved before ip6_dst_lookup_flow() in tcp_v6_connect() so the initial ECMP path is selected by the same txhash that subsequent route rebuilds will use. This avoids unintended path changes when the cached dst is naturally invalidated (e.g., by PMTU discovery or route changes). The rehash sites (tcp_write_timeout(), tcp_plb_check_rehash(), and tcp_rcv_spurious_retrans()) call __sk_rethink_txhash_reset_dst(), which re-rolls the txhash and, when it changed, drops the cached dst so the next transmit re-runs route selection. The dst reset is guarded by sk->sk_family == AF_INET6 since IPv4 ECMP does not currently use sk_txhash for path selection. For IPv4-mapped IPv6 sockets this produces a redundant dst reset on a cold path (RTO/PLB); the subsequent IPv4 route lookup returns the same result. The helper is deliberately separate from sk_rethink_txhash() itself: dst_negative_advice() calls sk_rethink_txhash() before its own dst op, so resetting the dst inside sk_rethink_txhash() would skip that op (e.g. rt6_remove_exception_rt()). For syncookies, cookie_init_sequence() computes the cookie value before route_req() and sets txhash so the SYN-ACK selects the same ECMP path that cookie_v6_check() will use when the full socket is created. cookie_tcp_reqsk_init() derives txhash from the cookie so the full socket's ECMP path matches the SYN-ACK. Both the SYN-ACK assignment in tcp_conn_request() and the full-socket assignment in cookie_tcp_reqsk_init() set txhash from the cookie for IPv4 and IPv6 alike. On IPv6 this drives ECMP path selection; on IPv4, which does not use sk_txhash for ECMP, it only affects TX-queue selection. That selection scales the hash by its high bits (reciprocal_scale()), which are uniform in the keyed secure_tcp_syn_cookie() output -- the MSS index only perturbs the low bits -- so the queue distribution matches net_tx_rndhash(). cookie_init_sequence() is split from the former version that also called tcp_synq_overflow() and incremented SYNCOOKIESSENT; those side effects are now in cookie_record_sent(), called after route_req() succeeds so they are not bumped when route_req() fails. cookie_record_sent() is guarded by CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES to match the guard on tcp_synq_overflow(). route_req() receives 0 as tw_isn for the syncookie path so that tcp_v6_init_req() still saves ireq->pktopts for REPFLOW flowlabel reflection and IPv6 cmsg options. The ecn_ok clear for syncookies without timestamps stays after tcp_ecn_create_request() so it takes precedence.

tcp: rehash onto different local ECMP path on retransmit timeout Currently sk_rethink_txhash() re-rolls the socket's txhash on RTO, PLB, and spurious-retransmission events, but the cached route is reused and the new hash is not propagated into the ECMP path selection logic. Two changes are needed to make rehash select a different local ECMP path: 1. Add __sk_dst_reset() alongside sk_rethink_txhash() in tcp_write_timeout(), tcp_rcv_spurious_retrans(), and tcp_plb_check_rehash() so the cached dst is invalidated and the next transmit triggers a fresh route lookup. 2. Set fl6->mp_hash from sk_txhash (or tcp_rsk(req)->txhash for SYN/ACK retransmits and syncookies) in tcp_v6_connect(), inet6_sk_rebuild_header(), inet6_csk_route_req(), inet6_csk_route_socket(), tcp_v6_send_response(), and cookie_v6_check() so fib6_select_path() picks a path based on the new hash. The mp_hash override only applies to fib_multipath_hash_policy 0 (the default L3 policy). Its hash includes the flow label, but that is 0 by default -- np->flow_label is unset, and auto_flowlabels only computes the on-wire label later, per packet -- so flows to the same peer share one local path. Keying the hash on sk_txhash makes the local path per-connection and lets a rehash re-select it. Policies 1-3 are left unchanged. The mp_hash assignment is factored into a small helper, ip6_ecmp_set_mp_hash(), shared by inet6_csk_route_req(), inet6_csk_route_socket(), tcp_v6_connect(), inet6_sk_rebuild_header(), tcp_v6_send_response(), and cookie_v6_check(). It applies (txhash >> 1) ?: 1 for policy 0 (the >> 1 keeps mp_hash in the 31-bit range; ?: 1 keeps it non-zero, since 0 would fall back to rt6_multipath_hash()). inet6_csk_route_socket() calls it only for sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP so that non-TCP callers (e.g., L2TP via inet6_csk_xmit) fall through to rt6_multipath_hash() and retain their existing flow-key-based ECMP behavior. tcp_v6_send_response() also sets mp_hash from the response txhash so that a control packet (a RST from the full socket, or an ACK from a time-wait socket) selects the same local ECMP nexthop as the connection's txhash rather than falling back to the flow hash. The time-wait socket's tw_txhash is copied from sk_txhash when the connection enters TIME_WAIT, so it reflects any rehash that occurred. Setting mp_hash explicitly is necessary because the default ECMP hash derives from fl6->flowlabel via np->flow_label, which is not updated from sk_txhash (REPFLOW is off by default). ip6_make_flowlabel() cannot help either, as it runs after the route lookup. As a consequence, for policy 0 the local ECMP path of an IPv6 TCP flow follows sk_txhash even when fl6->flowlabel is non-zero, e.g. a reflected (REPFLOW) or explicitly set (IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR) flow label. This is intentional: only local path selection changes, so rehash can recover from a failed path; the on-wire flow label is unchanged. sk_set_txhash() is moved before ip6_dst_lookup_flow() in tcp_v6_connect() so the initial ECMP path is selected by the same txhash that subsequent route rebuilds will use. This avoids unintended path changes when the cached dst is naturally invalidated (e.g., by PMTU discovery or route changes). The rehash sites (tcp_write_timeout(), tcp_plb_check_rehash(), and tcp_rcv_spurious_retrans()) call __sk_rethink_txhash_reset_dst(), which re-rolls the txhash and, when it changed, drops the cached dst so the next transmit re-runs route selection. The dst reset is guarded by sk->sk_family == AF_INET6 since IPv4 ECMP does not currently use sk_txhash for path selection. For IPv4-mapped IPv6 sockets this produces a redundant dst reset on a cold path (RTO/PLB); the subsequent IPv4 route lookup returns the same result. The helper is deliberately separate from sk_rethink_txhash() itself: dst_negative_advice() calls sk_rethink_txhash() before its own dst op, so resetting the dst inside sk_rethink_txhash() would skip that op (e.g. rt6_remove_exception_rt()). For syncookies, cookie_init_sequence() computes the cookie value before route_req() and sets txhash so the SYN-ACK selects the same ECMP path that cookie_v6_check() will use when the full socket is created. cookie_tcp_reqsk_init() derives txhash from the cookie so the full socket's ECMP path matches the SYN-ACK. Both the SYN-ACK assignment in tcp_conn_request() and the full-socket assignment in cookie_tcp_reqsk_init() set txhash from the cookie for IPv4 and IPv6 alike. On IPv6 this drives ECMP path selection; on IPv4, which does not use sk_txhash for ECMP, it only affects TX-queue selection. That selection scales the hash by its high bits (reciprocal_scale()), which are uniform in the keyed secure_tcp_syn_cookie() output -- the MSS index only perturbs the low bits -- so the queue distribution matches net_tx_rndhash(). cookie_init_sequence() is split from the former version that also called tcp_synq_overflow() and incremented SYNCOOKIESSENT; those side effects are now in cookie_record_sent(), called after route_req() succeeds so they are not bumped when route_req() fails. cookie_record_sent() is guarded by CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES to match the guard on tcp_synq_overflow(). route_req() receives 0 as tw_isn for the syncookie path so that tcp_v6_init_req() still saves ireq->pktopts for REPFLOW flowlabel reflection and IPv6 cmsg options. The ecn_ok clear for syncookies without timestamps stays after tcp_ecn_create_request() so it takes precedence.

tcp: track the packet timings in RACK This patch is the first half of the RACK loss recovery. RACK loss recovery uses the notion of time instead of packet sequence (FACK) or counts (dupthresh). It's inspired by the previous FACK heuristic in tcp_mark_lost_retrans(): when a limited transmit (new data packet) is sacked, then current retransmitted sequence below the newly sacked sequence must been lost, since at least one round trip time has elapsed. But it has several limitations: 1) can't detect tail drops since it depends on limited transmit 2) is disabled upon reordering (assumes no reordering) 3) only enabled in fast recovery ut not timeout recovery RACK (Recently ACK) addresses these limitations with the notion of time instead: a packet P1 is lost if a later packet P2 is s/acked, as at least one round trip has passed. Since RACK cares about the time sequence instead of the data sequence of packets, it can detect tail drops when later retransmission is s/acked while FACK or dupthresh can't. For reordering RACK uses a dynamically adjusted reordering window ("reo_wnd") to reduce false positives on ever (small) degree of reordering. This patch implements tcp_advanced_rack() which tracks the most recent transmission time among the packets that have been delivered (ACKed or SACKed) in tp->rack.mstamp. This timestamp is the key to determine which packet has been lost. Consider an example that the sender sends six packets: T1: P1 (lost) T2: P2 T3: P3 T4: P4 T100: sack of P2. rack.mstamp = T2 T101: retransmit P1 T102: sack of P2,P3,P4. rack.mstamp = T4 T205: ACK of P4 since the hole is repaired. rack.mstamp = T101 We need to be careful about spurious retransmission because it may falsely advance tp->rack.mstamp by an RTT or an RTO, causing RACK to falsely mark all packets lost, just like a spurious timeout. We identify spurious retransmission by the ACK's TS echo value. If TS option is not applicable but the retransmission is acknowledged less than min-RTT ago, it is likely to be spurious. We refrain from using the transmission time of these spurious retransmissions. The second half is implemented in the next patch that marks packet lost using RACK timestamp.

tcp: add reordering timer in RACK loss detection 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.

tcp: implement rb-tree based retransmit queue 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.

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.

tcp: check skb is non-NULL in tcp_rto_delta_us() 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: Jul 26 15:05:02 rx [11061395.780353] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020 Jul 26 15:05:02 rx

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.

tcp: internal implementation for pacing 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.

bpf: sockmap/tls, close can race with map free When a map free is called and in parallel a socket is closed we have two paths that can potentially reset the socket prot ops, the bpf close() path and the map free path. This creates a problem with which prot ops should be used from the socket closed side. If the map_free side completes first then we want to call the original lowest level ops. However, if the tls path runs first we want to call the sockmap ops. Additionally there was no locking around prot updates in TLS code paths so the prot ops could be changed multiple times once from TLS path and again from sockmap side potentially leaving ops pointed at either TLS or sockmap when psock and/or tls context have already been destroyed. To fix this race first only update ops inside callback lock so that TLS, sockmap and lowest level all agree on prot state. Second and a ULP callback update() so that lower layers can inform the upper layer when they are being removed allowing the upper layer to reset prot ops. This gets us close to allowing sockmap and tls to be stacked in arbitrary order but will save that patch for *next trees. v4: - make sure we don't free things for device; - remove the checks which swap the callbacks back only if TLS is at the top.

tcp: ulp: diag: more info without CAP_NET_ADMIN When introduced in commit 61723b393292 ("tcp: ulp: add functions to dump ulp-specific information"), the whole ULP diag info has been exported only if the requester had CAP_NET_ADMIN. It looks like not everything is sensitive, and some info can be exported to all users in order to ease the debugging from the userspace side without requiring additional capabilities. Each layer should then decide what can be exposed to everybody. The 'net_admin' boolean is then passed to the different layers. On kTLS side, it looks like there is nothing sensitive there: version, cipher type, tx/rx user config type, plus some flags. So, only some metadata about the configuration, no cryptographic info like keys, etc. Then, everything can be exported to all users. On MPTCP side, that's different. The MPTCP-related sequence numbers per subflow should certainly not be exposed to everybody. For example, the DSS mapping and ssn_offset would give all users on the system access to narrow ranges of values for the subflow TCP sequence numbers and MPTCP-level DSNs, and then ease packet injection. The TCP diag interface doesn't expose the TCP sequence numbers for TCP sockets, so best to do the same here. The rest -- token, IDs, flags -- can be exported to everybody.

bpf, sockmap: convert to generic sk_msg interface Add a generic sk_msg layer, and convert current sockmap and later kTLS over to make use of it. While sk_buff handles network packet representation from netdevice up to socket, sk_msg handles data representation from application to socket layer. This means that sk_msg framework spans across ULP users in the kernel, and enables features such as introspection or filtering of data with the help of BPF programs that operate on this data structure. Latter becomes in particular useful for kTLS where data encryption is deferred into the kernel, and as such enabling the kernel to perform L7 introspection and policy based on BPF for TLS connections where the record is being encrypted after BPF has run and came to a verdict. In order to get there, first step is to transform open coding of scatter-gather list handling into a common core framework that subsystems can use. The code itself has been split and refactored into three bigger pieces: i) the generic sk_msg API which deals with managing the scatter gather ring, providing helpers for walking and mangling, transferring application data from user space into it, and preparing it for BPF pre/post-processing, ii) the plain sock map itself where sockets can be attached to or detached from; these bits are independent of i) which can now be used also without sock map, and iii) the integration with plain TCP as one protocol to be used for processing L7 application data (later this could e.g. also be extended to other protocols like UDP). The semantics are the same with the old sock map code and therefore no change of user facing behavior or APIs.

bpf: Fix wrong copied_seq calculation 'sk->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->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->sk_psock_verdict_data_ready->tcp_read_skb to remove updating 'sk->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->strp_data_ready->tcp_read_sock). tcp_read_sock() now still updates 'sk->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->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.

bpf, sockmap: Incorrectly handling copied_seq The read_skb() logic is incrementing the tcp->copied_seq which is used for among other things calculating how many outstanding bytes can be read by the application. This results in application errors, if the application does an ioctl(FIONREAD) we return zero because this is calculated from the copied_seq value. To fix this we move tcp->copied_seq accounting into the recv handler so that we update these when the recvmsg() hook is called and data is in fact copied into user buffers. This gives an accurate FIONREAD value as expected and improves ACK handling. Before we were calling the tcp_rcv_space_adjust() which would update 'number of bytes copied to user in last RTT' which is wrong for programs returning SK_PASS. The bytes are only copied to the user when recvmsg is handled. Doing the fix for recvmsg is straightforward, but fixing redirect and SK_DROP pkts is a bit tricker. Build a tcp_psock_eat() helper and then call this from skmsg handlers. This fixes another issue where a broken socket with a BPF program doing a resubmit could hang the receiver. This happened because although read_skb() consumed the skb through sock_drop() it did not update the copied_seq. Now if a single reccv socket is redirecting to many sockets (for example for lb) the receiver sk will be hung even though we might expect it to continue. The hang comes from not updating the copied_seq numbers and memory pressure resulting from that. We have a slight layer problem of calling tcp_eat_skb even if its not a TCP socket. To fix we could refactor and create per type receiver handlers. I decided this is more work than we want in the fix and we already have some small tweaks depending on caller that use the helper skb_bpf_strparser(). So we extend that a bit and always set the strparser bit when it is in use and then we can gate the seq_copied updates on this.

bpf: tcp: Allow bpf prog to write and parse TCP header option [ Note: The TCP changes here is mainly to implement the bpf pieces into the bpf_skops_*() functions introduced in the earlier patches. ] The earlier effort in BPF-TCP-CC allows the TCP Congestion Control algorithm to be written in BPF. It opens up opportunities to allow a faster turnaround time in testing/releasing new congestion control ideas to production environment. The same flexibility can be extended to writing TCP header option. It is not uncommon that people want to test new TCP header option to improve the TCP performance. Another use case is for data-center that has a more controlled environment and has more flexibility in putting header options for internal only use. For example, we want to test the idea in putting maximum delay ACK in TCP header option which is similar to a draft RFC proposal [1]. This patch introduces the necessary BPF API and use them in the TCP stack to allow BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS program to parse and write TCP header options. It currently supports most of the TCP packet except RST. Supported TCP header option: ─────────────────────────── This patch allows the bpf-prog to write any option kind. Different bpf-progs can write its own option by calling the new helper bpf_store_hdr_opt(). The helper will ensure there is no duplicated option in the header. By allowing bpf-prog to write any option kind, this gives a lot of flexibility to the bpf-prog. Different bpf-prog can write its own option kind. It could also allow the bpf-prog to support a recently standardized option on an older kernel. Sockops Callback Flags: ────────────────────── The bpf program will only be called to parse/write tcp header option if the following newly added callback flags are enabled in tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags: BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_UNKNOWN_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_ALL_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG BPF_SOCK_OPS_WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG A few words on the PARSE CB flags. When the above PARSE CB flags are turned on, the bpf-prog will be called on packets received at a sk that has at least reached the ESTABLISHED state. The parsing of the SYN-SYNACK-ACK will be discussed in the "3 Way HandShake" section. The default is off for all of the above new CB flags, i.e. the bpf prog will not be called to parse or write bpf hdr option. There are details comment on these new cb flags in the UAPI bpf.h. sock_ops->skb_data and bpf_load_hdr_opt() ───────────────────────────────────────── sock_ops->skb_data and sock_ops->skb_data_end covers the whole TCP header and its options. They are read only. The new bpf_load_hdr_opt() helps to read a particular option "kind" from the skb_data. Please refer to the comment in UAPI bpf.h. It has details on what skb_data contains under different sock_ops->op. 3 Way HandShake ─────────────── The bpf-prog can learn if it is sending SYN or SYNACK by reading the sock_ops->skb_tcp_flags. * Passive side When writing SYNACK (i.e. sock_ops->op == BPF_SOCK_OPS_WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB), the received SYN skb will be available to the bpf prog. The bpf prog can use the SYN skb (which may carry the header option sent from the remote bpf prog) to decide what bpf header option should be written to the outgoing SYNACK skb. The SYN packet can be obtained by getsockopt(TCP_BPF_SYN*). More on this later. Also, the bpf prog can learn if it is in syncookie mode (by checking sock_ops->args[0] == BPF_WRITE_HDR_TCP_SYNACK_COOKIE). The bpf prog can store the received SYN pkt by using the existing bpf_setsockopt(TCP_SAVE_SYN). The example in a later patch does it. [ Note that the fullsock here is a listen sk, bpf_sk_storage is not very useful here since the listen sk will be shared by many concurrent connection requests. Extending bpf_sk_storage support to request_sock will add weight to the minisock and it is not necessary better than storing the whole ~100 bytes SYN pkt. ] When the connection is established, the bpf prog will be called in the existing PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB callback. At that time, the bpf prog can get the header option from the saved syn and then apply the needed operation to the newly established socket. The later patch will use the max delay ack specified in the SYN header and set the RTO of this newly established connection as an example. The received ACK (that concludes the 3WHS) will also be available to the bpf prog during PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB through the sock_ops->skb_data. It could be useful in syncookie scenario. More on this later. There is an existing getsockopt "TCP_SAVED_SYN" to return the whole saved syn pkt which includes the IP[46] header and the TCP header. A few "TCP_BPF_SYN*" getsockopt has been added to allow specifying where to start getting from, e.g. starting from TCP header, or from IP[46] header. The new getsockopt(TCP_BPF_SYN*) will also know where it can get the SYN's packet from: - (a) the just received syn (available when the bpf prog is writing SYNACK) and it is the only way to get SYN during syncookie mode. or - (b) the saved syn (available in PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB and also other existing CB). The bpf prog does not need to know where the SYN pkt is coming from. The getsockopt(TCP_BPF_SYN*) will hide this details. Similarly, a flags "BPF_LOAD_HDR_OPT_TCP_SYN" is also added to bpf_load_hdr_opt() to read a particular header option from the SYN packet. * Fastopen Fastopen should work the same as the regular non fastopen case. This is a test in a later patch. * Syncookie For syncookie, the later example patch asks the active side's bpf prog to resend the header options in ACK. The server can use bpf_load_hdr_opt() to look at the options in this received ACK during PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB. * Active side The bpf prog will get a chance to write the bpf header option in the SYN packet during WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB. The received SYNACK pkt will also be available to the bpf prog during the existing ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB callback through the sock_ops->skb_data and bpf_load_hdr_opt(). * Turn off header CB flags after 3WHS If the bpf prog does not need to write/parse header options beyond the 3WHS, the bpf prog can clear the bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags to avoid being called for header options. Or the bpf-prog can select to leave the UNKNOWN_HDR_OPT_CB_FLAG on so that the kernel will only call it when there is option that the kernel cannot handle.

bpf: BPF support for sock_ops Created a new BPF program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS, and a corresponding struct that allows BPF programs of this type to access some of the socket's fields (such as IP addresses, ports, etc.). It uses the existing bpf cgroups infrastructure so the programs can be attached per cgroup with full inheritance support. The program will be called at appropriate times to set relevant connections parameters such as buffer sizes, SYN and SYN-ACK RTOs, etc., based on connection information such as IP addresses, port numbers, etc. Alghough there are already 3 mechanisms to set parameters (sysctls, route metrics and setsockopts), this new mechanism provides some distinct advantages. Unlike sysctls, it can set parameters per connection. In contrast to route metrics, it can also use port numbers and information provided by a user level program. In addition, it could set parameters probabilistically for evaluation purposes (i.e. do something different on 10% of the flows and compare results with the other 90% of the flows). Also, in cases where IPv6 addresses contain geographic information, the rules to make changes based on the distance (or RTT) between the hosts are much easier than route metric rules and can be global. Finally, unlike setsockopt, it oes not require application changes and it can be updated easily at any time. Although the bpf cgroup framework already contains a sock related program type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK), I created the new type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS) beccause the existing type expects to be called only once during the connections's lifetime. In contrast, the new program type will be called multiple times from different places in the network stack code. For example, before sending SYN and SYN-ACKs to set an appropriate timeout, when the connection is established to set congestion control, etc. As a result it has "op" field to specify the type of operation requested. The purpose of this new program type is to simplify setting connection parameters, such as buffer sizes, TCP's SYN RTO, etc. For example, it is easy to use facebook's internal IPv6 addresses to determine if both hosts of a connection are in the same datacenter. Therefore, it is easy to write a BPF program to choose a small SYN RTO value when both hosts are in the same datacenter.

bpf: BPF support for sock_ops Created a new BPF program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS, and a corresponding struct that allows BPF programs of this type to access some of the socket's fields (such as IP addresses, ports, etc.). It uses the existing bpf cgroups infrastructure so the programs can be attached per cgroup with full inheritance support. The program will be called at appropriate times to set relevant connections parameters such as buffer sizes, SYN and SYN-ACK RTOs, etc., based on connection information such as IP addresses, port numbers, etc. Alghough there are already 3 mechanisms to set parameters (sysctls, route metrics and setsockopts), this new mechanism provides some distinct advantages. Unlike sysctls, it can set parameters per connection. In contrast to route metrics, it can also use port numbers and information provided by a user level program. In addition, it could set parameters probabilistically for evaluation purposes (i.e. do something different on 10% of the flows and compare results with the other 90% of the flows). Also, in cases where IPv6 addresses contain geographic information, the rules to make changes based on the distance (or RTT) between the hosts are much easier than route metric rules and can be global. Finally, unlike setsockopt, it oes not require application changes and it can be updated easily at any time. Although the bpf cgroup framework already contains a sock related program type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK), I created the new type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS) beccause the existing type expects to be called only once during the connections's lifetime. In contrast, the new program type will be called multiple times from different places in the network stack code. For example, before sending SYN and SYN-ACKs to set an appropriate timeout, when the connection is established to set congestion control, etc. As a result it has "op" field to specify the type of operation requested. The purpose of this new program type is to simplify setting connection parameters, such as buffer sizes, TCP's SYN RTO, etc. For example, it is easy to use facebook's internal IPv6 addresses to determine if both hosts of a connection are in the same datacenter. Therefore, it is easy to write a BPF program to choose a small SYN RTO value when both hosts are in the same datacenter. This patch only contains the framework to support the new BPF program type, following patches add the functionality to set various connection parameters.

bpf: Prevent unsafe access to the sock fields in the BPF timestamping callback The subsequent patch will implement BPF TX timestamping. It will call the sockops BPF program without holding the sock lock. This breaks the current assumption that all sock ops programs will hold the sock lock. The sock's fields of the uapi's bpf_sock_ops requires this assumption. To address this, a new "u8 is_locked_tcp_sock;" field is added. This patch sets it in the current sock_ops callbacks. The "is_fullsock" test is then replaced by the "is_locked_tcp_sock" test during sock_ops_convert_ctx_access(). The new TX timestamping callbacks added in the subsequent patch will not have this set. This will prevent unsafe access from the new timestamping callbacks. Potentially, we could allow read-only access. However, this would require identifying which callback is read-safe-only and also requires additional BPF instruction rewrites in the covert_ctx. Since the BPF program can always read everything from a socket (e.g., by using bpf_core_cast), this patch keeps it simple and disables all read and write access to any socket fields through the bpf_sock_ops UAPI from the new TX timestamping callback. Moreover, note that some of the fields in bpf_sock_ops are specific to tcp_sock, and sock_ops currently only supports tcp_sock. In the future, UDP timestamping will be added, which will also break this assumption. The same idea used in this patch will be reused. Considering that the current sock_ops only supports tcp_sock, the variable is named is_locked_"tcp"_sock.

If its setup fails in tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() / tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock(), the child is freed through put_and_exit, where inet_csk_prepare_forced_close() drops the socket lock and tcp_done() runs without it. If BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB_FLAG was inherited, tcp_done() -> tcp_set_state() calls tcp_call_bpf(), which expects the lock and trips sock_owned_by_me(): WARNING: include/net/sock.h:1799 at tcp_set_state+0x433/0x550 RIP: 0010:tcp_set_state+0x433/0x550 include/net/sock.h:1799 Call Trace: <IRQ> tcp_done+0xba/0x250 net/ipv4/tcp.c:5095 tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock+0x850/0xa50 net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:1787 tcp_check_req+0xf30/0x1360 net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c:926 tcp_v4_rcv+0x1047/0x1b50 net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:2164 </IRQ> The child is freed before it is ever established, so it should run no sock_ops callback.

bpf: BPF support for sock_ops Created a new BPF program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS, and a corresponding struct that allows BPF programs of this type to access some of the socket's fields (such as IP addresses, ports, etc.). It uses the existing bpf cgroups infrastructure so the programs can be attached per cgroup with full inheritance support. The program will be called at appropriate times to set relevant connections parameters such as buffer sizes, SYN and SYN-ACK RTOs, etc., based on connection information such as IP addresses, port numbers, etc. Alghough there are already 3 mechanisms to set parameters (sysctls, route metrics and setsockopts), this new mechanism provides some distinct advantages. Unlike sysctls, it can set parameters per connection. In contrast to route metrics, it can also use port numbers and information provided by a user level program. In addition, it could set parameters probabilistically for evaluation purposes (i.e. do something different on 10% of the flows and compare results with the other 90% of the flows). Also, in cases where IPv6 addresses contain geographic information, the rules to make changes based on the distance (or RTT) between the hosts are much easier than route metric rules and can be global. Finally, unlike setsockopt, it oes not require application changes and it can be updated easily at any time. Although the bpf cgroup framework already contains a sock related program type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK), I created the new type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS) beccause the existing type expects to be called only once during the connections's lifetime. In contrast, the new program type will be called multiple times from different places in the network stack code. For example, before sending SYN and SYN-ACKs to set an appropriate timeout, when the connection is established to set congestion control, etc. As a result it has "op" field to specify the type of operation requested. The purpose of this new program type is to simplify setting connection parameters, such as buffer sizes, TCP's SYN RTO, etc. For example, it is easy to use facebook's internal IPv6 addresses to determine if both hosts of a connection are in the same datacenter. Therefore, it is easy to write a BPF program to choose a small SYN RTO value when both hosts are in the same datacenter. This patch only contains the framework to support the new BPF program type, following patches add the functionality to set various connection parameters. This patch defines a new BPF program type: BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_OPS and a new bpf syscall command to load a new program of this type: BPF_PROG_LOAD_SOCKET_OPS. Two new corresponding structs (one for the kernel one for the user/BPF program): /* kernel version */ struct bpf_sock_ops_kern { struct sock *sk; __u32 op; union { __u32 reply; __u32 replylong[4]; }; }; /* user version * Some fields are in network byte order reflecting the sock struct * Use the bpf_ntohl helper macro in samples/bpf/bpf_endian.h to * convert them to host byte order. */ struct bpf_sock_ops { __u32 op; union { __u32 reply; __u32 replylong[4]; }; __u32 family; __u32 remote_ip4; /* In network byte order */ __u32 local_ip4; /* In network byte order */ __u32 remote_ip6[4]; /* In network byte order */ __u32 local_ip6[4]; /* In network byte order */ __u32 remote_port; /* In network byte order */ __u32 local_port; /* In host byte horder */ }; Currently there are two types of ops. The first type expects the BPF program to return a value which is then used by the caller (or a negative value to indicate the operation is not supported). The second type expects state changes to be done by the BPF program, for example through a setsockopt BPF helper function, and they ignore the return value. The reply fields of the bpf_sockt_ops struct are there in case a bpf program needs to return a value larger than an integer.

tcp: add optional per socket transmit delay Adding delays to TCP flows is crucial for studying behavior of TCP stacks, including congestion control modules. Linux offers netem module, but it has unpractical constraints : - Need root access to change qdisc - Hard to setup on egress if combined with non trivial qdisc like FQ - Single delay for all flows. EDT (Earliest Departure Time) adoption in TCP stack allows us to enable a per socket delay at a very small cost. Networking tools can now establish thousands of flows, each of them with a different delay, simulating real world conditions. This requires FQ packet scheduler or a EDT-enabled NIC. This patchs adds TCP_TX_DELAY socket option, to set a delay in usec units. unsigned int tx_delay = 10000; /* 10 msec */ setsockopt(fd, SOL_TCP, TCP_TX_DELAY, &tx_delay, sizeof(tx_delay)); Note that FQ packet scheduler limits might need some tweaking : man tc-fq PARAMETERS limit Hard limit on the real queue size. When this limit is reached, new packets are dropped. If the value is lowered, packets are dropped so that the new limit is met. Default is 10000 packets. flow_limit Hard limit on the maximum number of packets queued per flow. Default value is 100. Use of TCP_TX_DELAY option will increase number of skbs in FQ qdisc, so packets would be dropped if any of the previous limit is hit. Use of a jump label makes this support runtime-free, for hosts never using the option. Also note that TSQ (TCP Small Queues) limits are slightly changed with this patch : we need to account that skbs artificially delayed wont stop us providind more skbs to feed the pipe (netem uses skb_orphan_partial() for this purpose, but FQ can not use this trick) Because of that, using big delays might very well trigger old bugs in TSO auto defer logic and/or sndbuf limited detection.
