tcp: add datapath logic for PSP with inline key exchange Add validation points and state propagation to support PSP key exchange inline, on TCP connections. The expectation is that application will use some well established mechanism like TLS handshake to establish a secure channel over the connection and if both endpoints are PSP-capable - exchange and install PSP keys. Because the connection can existing in PSP-unsecured and PSP-secured state we need to make sure that there are no race conditions or retransmission leaks. On Tx - mark packets with the skb->decrypted bit when PSP key is at the enqueue time. Drivers should only encrypt packets with this bit set. This prevents retransmissions getting encrypted when original transmission was not. Similarly to TLS, we'll use sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb to make sure PSP skbs can't "escape" via a PSP-unaware device without being encrypted. On Rx - validation is done under socket lock. This moves the validation point later than xfrm, for example. Please see the documentation patch for more details on the flow of securing a connection, but for the purpose of this patch what's important is that we want to enforce the invariant that once connection is secured any skb in the receive queue has been encrypted with PSP. Add GRO and coalescing checks to prevent PSP authenticated data from being combined with cleartext data, or data with non-matching PSP state. On Rx, check skb's with psp_skb_coalesce_diff() at points before psp_sk_rx_policy_check(). After skb's are policy checked and on the socket receive queue, skb_cmp_decrypted() is sufficient for checking for coalescable PSP state. On Tx, tcp_write_collapse_fence() should be called when transitioning a socket into PSP Tx state to prevent data sent as cleartext from being coalesced with PSP encapsulated data. This change only adds the validation points, for ease of review. Subsequent change will add the ability to install keys, and flesh the enforcement logic out Reviewed-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Co-developed-by: Daniel Zahka <daniel.zahka@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Zahka <daniel.zahka@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250917000954.859376-5-daniel.zahka@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

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.

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: Tail loss probe (TLP) This patch series implement the Tail loss probe (TLP) algorithm described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01. The first patch implements the basic algorithm. TLP's goal is to reduce tail latency of short transactions. It achieves this by converting retransmission timeouts (RTOs) occuring due to tail losses (losses at end of transactions) into fast recovery. TLP transmits one packet in two round-trips when a connection is in Open state and isn't receiving any ACKs. The transmitted packet, aka loss probe, can be either new or a retransmission. When there is tail loss, the ACK from a loss probe triggers FACK/early-retransmit based fast recovery, thus avoiding a costly RTO. In the absence of loss, there is no change in the connection state. PTO stands for probe timeout. It is a timer event indicating that an ACK is overdue and triggers a loss probe packet. The PTO value is set to max(2*SRTT, 10ms) and is adjusted to account for delayed ACK timer when there is only one oustanding packet. TLP Algorithm On transmission of new data in Open state: -> packets_out > 1: schedule PTO in max(2*SRTT, 10ms). -> packets_out == 1: schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms) -> PTO = min(PTO, RTO) Conditions for scheduling PTO: -> Connection is in Open state. -> Connection is either cwnd limited or no new data to send. -> Number of probes per tail loss episode is limited to one. -> Connection is SACK enabled. When PTO fires: new_segment_exists: -> transmit new segment. -> packets_out++. cwnd remains same. no_new_packet: -> retransmit the last segment. Its ACK triggers FACK or early retransmit based recovery. ACK path: -> rearm RTO at start of ACK processing. -> reschedule PTO if need be. In addition, the patch includes a small variation to the Early Retransmit (ER) algorithm, such that ER and TLP together can in principle recover any N-degree of tail loss through fast recovery. TLP is controlled by the same sysctl as ER, tcp_early_retrans sysctl. tcp_early_retrans==0; disables TLP and ER. ==1; enables RFC5827 ER. ==2; delayed ER. ==3; TLP and delayed ER. [DEFAULT] ==4; TLP only. The TLP patch series have been extensively tested on Google Web servers. It is most effective for short Web trasactions, where it reduced RTOs by 15% and improved HTTP response time (average by 6%, 99th percentile by 10%). The transmitted probes account for <0.5% of the overall transmissions.

tcp: fix potential xmit stalls caused by TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT I had this bug sitting for too long in my pile, it is time to fix it. Thanks to Doug Porter for reminding me of it! We had various attempts in the past, including commit 0cbe6a8f089e ("tcp: remove SOCK_QUEUE_SHRUNK"), but the issue is that TCP stack currently only generates EPOLLOUT from input path, when tp->snd_una has advanced and skb(s) cleaned from rtx queue. If a flow has a big RTT, and/or receives SACKs, it is possible that the notsent part (tp->write_seq - tp->snd_nxt) reaches 0 and no more data can be sent until tp->snd_una finally advances. What is needed is to also check if POLLOUT needs to be generated whenever tp->snd_nxt is advanced, from output path. This bug triggers more often after an idle period, as we do not receive ACK for at least one RTT. tcp_notsent_lowat could be a fraction of what CWND and pacing rate would allow to send during this RTT. In a followup patch, I will remove the bogus call to tcp_chrono_stop(sk, TCP_CHRONO_SNDBUF_LIMITED) from tcp_check_space(). Fact that we have decided to generate an EPOLLOUT does not mean the application has immediately refilled the transmit queue. This optimistic call might have been the reason the bug seemed not too serious.

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. The fix is simple: only count packets as serving the goal of the quickack mechanism if they are ACKing/SACKing new data. We can tell whether this is the case by checking inet_csk_ack_scheduled(), since we schedule an ACK exactly when we are ACKing/SACKing new data.

tcp: remove 64 KByte limit for initial tp->rcv_wnd value Recently, we had some servers upgraded to the latest kernel and noticed the indicator from the user side showed worse results than before. It is caused by the limitation of tp->rcv_wnd. In 2018 commit a337531b942b ("tcp: up initial rmem to 128KB and SYN rwin to around 64KB") limited the initial value of tp->rcv_wnd to 65535, most CDN teams would not benefit from this change because they cannot have a large window to receive a big packet, which will be slowed down especially in long RTT. Small rcv_wnd means slow transfer speed, to some extent. It's the side effect for the latency/time-sensitive users. To avoid future confusion, current change doesn't affect the initial receive window on the wire in a SYN or SYN+ACK packet which are set within 65535 bytes according to RFC 7323 also due to the limit in __tcp_transmit_skb(): th->window = htons(min(tp->rcv_wnd, 65535U)); In one word, __tcp_transmit_skb() already ensures that constraint is respected, no matter how large tp->rcv_wnd is. The change doesn't violate RFC. Let me provide one example if with or without the patch: Before: client --- SYN: rwindow=65535 ---> server client <--- SYN+ACK: rwindow=65535 ---- server client --- ACK: rwindow=65536 ---> server Note: for the last ACK, the calculation is 512 << 7. After: client --- SYN: rwindow=65535 ---> server client <--- SYN+ACK: rwindow=65535 ---- server client --- ACK: rwindow=175232 ---> server Note: I use the following command to make it work: ip route change default via [ip] dev eth0 metric 100 initrwnd 120 For the last ACK, the calculation is 1369 << 7. When we apply such a patch, having a large rcv_wnd if the user tweak this knob can help transfer data more rapidly and save some rtts.

tcp: up initial rmem to 128KB and SYN rwin to around 64KB Previously TCP initial receive buffer is ~87KB by default and the initial receive window is ~29KB (20 MSS). This patch changes the two numbers to 128KB and ~64KB (rounding down to the multiples of MSS) respectively. The patch also simplifies the calculations s.t. the two numbers are directly controlled by sysctl tcp_rmem[1]: 1) Initial receiver buffer budget (sk_rcvbuf): while this should be configured via sysctl tcp_rmem[1], previously tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() always override and set a larger size when a new connection establishes. 2) Initial receive window in SYN: previously it is set to 20 packets if MSS <= 1460. The number 20 was based on the initial congestion window of 10: the receiver needs twice amount to avoid being limited by the receive window upon out-of-order delivery in the first window burst. But since this only applies if the receiving MSS <= 1460, connection using large MTU (e.g. to utilize receiver zero-copy) may be limited by the receive window. With this patch TCP memory configuration is more straight-forward and more properly sized to modern high-speed networks by default. Several popular stacks have been announcing 64KB rwin in SYNs as well.

tcp: enforce receive buffer memory limits by allowing the tcp window to shrink Under certain circumstances, the tcp receive buffer memory limit set by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf) is increased due to incoming data packets as a result of the window not closing when it should be. This can result in the receive buffer growing all the way up to tcp_rmem[2], even for tcp sessions with a low BDP. To reproduce: Connect a TCP session with the receiver doing nothing and the sender sending small packets (an infinite loop of socket send() with 4 bytes of payload with a sleep of 1 ms in between each send()). This will cause the tcp receive buffer to grow all the way up to tcp_rmem[2]. As a result, a host can have individual tcp sessions with receive buffers of size tcp_rmem[2], and the host itself can reach tcp_mem limits, causing the host to go into tcp memory pressure mode. The fundamental issue is the relationship between the granularity of the window scaling factor and the number of byte ACKed back to the sender. This problem has previously been identified in RFC 7323, appendix F [1]. The Linux kernel currently adheres to never shrinking the window. In addition to the overallocation of memory mentioned above, the current behavior is functionally incorrect, because once tcp_rmem[2] is reached when no remediations remain (i.e. tcp collapse fails to free up any more memory and there are no packets to prune from the out-of-order queue), the receiver will drop in-window packets resulting in retransmissions and an eventual timeout of the tcp session. A receive buffer full condition should instead result in a zero window and an indefinite wait. In practice, this problem is largely hidden for most flows. It is not applicable to mice flows. Elephant flows can send data fast enough to "overrun" the sk_rcvbuf limit (in a single ACK), triggering a zero window. But this problem does show up for other types of flows. Examples are websockets and other type of flows that send small amounts of data spaced apart slightly in time. In these cases, we directly encounter the problem described in [1]. RFC 7323, section 2.4 [2], says there are instances when a retracted window can be offered, and that TCP implementations MUST ensure that they handle a shrinking window, as specified in RFC 1122, section 4.2.2.16 [3]. All prior RFCs on the topic of tcp window management have made clear that sender must accept a shrunk window from the receiver, including RFC 793 [4] and RFC 1323 [5]. This patch implements the functionality to shrink the tcp window when necessary to keep the right edge within the memory limit by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf). This new functionality is enabled with the new sysctl: net.ipv4.tcp_shrink_window Additional information can be found at: https://blog.cloudflare.com/unbounded-memory-usage-by-tcp-for-receive-buffers-and-how-we-fixed-it/ [1] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7323#appendix-F [2] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7323#section-2.4 [3] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1122#page-91 [4] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc793 [5] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1323 Signed-off-by: Mike Freemon <mfreemon@cloudflare.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: correct handling of extreme memory squeeze Testing with iperf3 using the "pasta" protocol splicer has revealed a problem in the way tcp handles window advertising in extreme memory squeeze situations. Under memory pressure, a socket endpoint may temporarily advertise a zero-sized window, but this is not stored as part of the socket data. The reasoning behind this is that it is considered a temporary setting which shouldn't influence any further calculations. However, if we happen to stall at an unfortunate value of the current window size, the algorithm selecting a new value will consistently fail to advertise a non-zero window once we have freed up enough memory. This means that this side's notion of the current window size is different from the one last advertised to the peer, causing the latter to not send any data to resolve the sitution. The problem occurs on the iperf3 server side, and the socket in question is a completely regular socket with the default settings for the fedora40 kernel. We do not use SO_PEEK or SO_RCVBUF on the socket. The following excerpt of a logging session, with own comments added, shows more in detail what is happening: // tcp_v4_rcv(->) // tcp_rcv_established(->) [5201<->39222]: ==== Activating log @ net/ipv4/tcp_input.c/tcp_data_queue()/5257 ==== [5201<->39222]: tcp_data_queue(->) [5201<->39222]: DROPPING skb [265600160..265665640], reason: SKB_DROP_REASON_PROTO_MEM [rcv_nxt 265600160, rcv_wnd 262144, snt_ack 265469200, win_now 131184] [copied_seq 259909392->260034360 (124968), unread 5565800, qlen 85, ofoq 0] [OFO queue: gap: 65480, len: 0] [5201<->39222]: tcp_data_queue(<-) [5201<->39222]: __tcp_transmit_skb(->) [tp->rcv_wup: 265469200, tp->rcv_wnd: 262144, tp->rcv_nxt 265600160] [5201<->39222]: tcp_select_window(->) [5201<->39222]: (inet_csk(sk)->icsk_ack.pending & ICSK_ACK_NOMEM) ? --> TRUE [tp->rcv_wup: 265469200, tp->rcv_wnd: 262144, tp->rcv_nxt 265600160] returning 0 [5201<->39222]: tcp_select_window(<-) [5201<->39222]: ADVERTISING WIN 0, ACK_SEQ: 265600160 [5201<->39222]: [__tcp_transmit_skb(<-) [5201<->39222]: tcp_rcv_established(<-) [5201<->39222]: tcp_v4_rcv(<-) // Receive queue is at 85 buffers and we are out of memory. // We drop the incoming buffer, although it is in sequence, and decide // to send an advertisement with a window of zero. // We don't update tp->rcv_wnd and tp->rcv_wup accordingly, which means // we unconditionally shrink the window.

Backing ack_seq seems to be harmless, but is of course still wrong from a protocol viewpoint. We fix this by updating the socket state correctly when a packet has been dropped because of memory exhaustion and we have to advertize a zero window. Further testing shows that the connection recovers neatly from the squeeze situation, and traffic can continue indefinitely.

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: correct handling of extreme memory squeeze Testing with iperf3 using the "pasta" protocol splicer has revealed a problem in the way tcp handles window advertising in extreme memory squeeze situations. Under memory pressure, a socket endpoint may temporarily advertise a zero-sized window, but this is not stored as part of the socket data. The reasoning behind this is that it is considered a temporary setting which shouldn't influence any further calculations. However, if we happen to stall at an unfortunate value of the current window size, the algorithm selecting a new value will consistently fail to advertise a non-zero window once we have freed up enough memory. This means that this side's notion of the current window size is different from the one last advertised to the peer, causing the latter to not send any data to resolve the sitution. The problem occurs on the iperf3 server side, and the socket in question is a completely regular socket with the default settings for the fedora40 kernel. We do not use SO_PEEK or SO_RCVBUF on the socket. The following excerpt of a logging session, with own comments added, shows more in detail what is happening: // tcp_v4_rcv(->) // tcp_rcv_established(->) [5201<->39222]: ==== Activating log @ net/ipv4/tcp_input.c/tcp_data_queue()/5257 ==== [5201<->39222]: tcp_data_queue(->) [5201<->39222]: DROPPING skb [265600160..265665640], reason: SKB_DROP_REASON_PROTO_MEM [rcv_nxt 265600160, rcv_wnd 262144, snt_ack 265469200, win_now 131184] [copied_seq 259909392->260034360 (124968), unread 5565800, qlen 85, ofoq 0] [OFO queue: gap: 65480, len: 0] [5201<->39222]: tcp_data_queue(<-) [5201<->39222]: __tcp_transmit_skb(->) [tp->rcv_wup: 265469200, tp->rcv_wnd: 262144, tp->rcv_nxt 265600160] [5201<->39222]: tcp_select_window(->) [5201<->39222]: (inet_csk(sk)->icsk_ack.pending & ICSK_ACK_NOMEM) ? --> TRUE [tp->rcv_wup: 265469200, tp->rcv_wnd: 262144, tp->rcv_nxt 265600160] returning 0 [5201<->39222]: tcp_select_window(<-) [5201<->39222]: ADVERTISING WIN 0, ACK_SEQ: 265600160 [5201<->39222]: [__tcp_transmit_skb(<-) [5201<->39222]: tcp_rcv_established(<-) [5201<->39222]: tcp_v4_rcv(<-) // Receive queue is at 85 buffers and we are out of memory. // We drop the incoming buffer, although it is in sequence, and decide // to send an advertisement with a window of zero. // We don't update tp->rcv_wnd and tp->rcv_wup accordingly, which means // we unconditionally shrink the window.

tcp: enforce receive buffer memory limits by allowing the tcp window to shrink Under certain circumstances, the tcp receive buffer memory limit set by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf) is increased due to incoming data packets as a result of the window not closing when it should be. This can result in the receive buffer growing all the way up to tcp_rmem[2], even for tcp sessions with a low BDP. To reproduce: Connect a TCP session with the receiver doing nothing and the sender sending small packets (an infinite loop of socket send() with 4 bytes of payload with a sleep of 1 ms in between each send()). This will cause the tcp receive buffer to grow all the way up to tcp_rmem[2]. As a result, a host can have individual tcp sessions with receive buffers of size tcp_rmem[2], and the host itself can reach tcp_mem limits, causing the host to go into tcp memory pressure mode. The fundamental issue is the relationship between the granularity of the window scaling factor and the number of byte ACKed back to the sender. This problem has previously been identified in RFC 7323, appendix F [1]. The Linux kernel currently adheres to never shrinking the window. In addition to the overallocation of memory mentioned above, the current behavior is functionally incorrect, because once tcp_rmem[2] is reached when no remediations remain (i.e. tcp collapse fails to free up any more memory and there are no packets to prune from the out-of-order queue), the receiver will drop in-window packets resulting in retransmissions and an eventual timeout of the tcp session. A receive buffer full condition should instead result in a zero window and an indefinite wait. In practice, this problem is largely hidden for most flows. It is not applicable to mice flows. Elephant flows can send data fast enough to "overrun" the sk_rcvbuf limit (in a single ACK), triggering a zero window. But this problem does show up for other types of flows. Examples are websockets and other type of flows that send small amounts of data spaced apart slightly in time. In these cases, we directly encounter the problem described in [1]. RFC 7323, section 2.4 [2], says there are instances when a retracted window can be offered, and that TCP implementations MUST ensure that they handle a shrinking window, as specified in RFC 1122, section 4.2.2.16 [3].

tcp: enforce receive buffer memory limits by allowing the tcp window to shrink Under certain circumstances, the tcp receive buffer memory limit set by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf) is increased due to incoming data packets as a result of the window not closing when it should be. This can result in the receive buffer growing all the way up to tcp_rmem[2], even for tcp sessions with a low BDP. To reproduce: Connect a TCP session with the receiver doing nothing and the sender sending small packets (an infinite loop of socket send() with 4 bytes of payload with a sleep of 1 ms in between each send()). This will cause the tcp receive buffer to grow all the way up to tcp_rmem[2]. As a result, a host can have individual tcp sessions with receive buffers of size tcp_rmem[2], and the host itself can reach tcp_mem limits, causing the host to go into tcp memory pressure mode. The fundamental issue is the relationship between the granularity of the window scaling factor and the number of byte ACKed back to the sender. This problem has previously been identified in RFC 7323, appendix F [1]. The Linux kernel currently adheres to never shrinking the window. In addition to the overallocation of memory mentioned above, the current behavior is functionally incorrect, because once tcp_rmem[2] is reached when no remediations remain (i.e. tcp collapse fails to free up any more memory and there are no packets to prune from the out-of-order queue), the receiver will drop in-window packets resulting in retransmissions and an eventual timeout of the tcp session. A receive buffer full condition should instead result in a zero window and an indefinite wait. In practice, this problem is largely hidden for most flows. It is not applicable to mice flows. Elephant flows can send data fast enough to "overrun" the sk_rcvbuf limit (in a single ACK), triggering a zero window. But this problem does show up for other types of flows. Examples are websockets and other type of flows that send small amounts of data spaced apart slightly in time. In these cases, we directly encounter the problem described in [1]. RFC 7323, section 2.4 [2], says there are instances when a retracted window can be offered, and that TCP implementations MUST ensure that they handle a shrinking window, as specified in RFC 1122, section 4.2.2.16 [3]. All prior RFCs on the topic of tcp window management have made clear that sender must accept a shrunk window from the receiver, including RFC 793 [4] and RFC 1323 [5].

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 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).

tcp: add datapath logic for PSP with inline key exchange Add validation points and state propagation to support PSP key exchange inline, on TCP connections. The expectation is that application will use some well established mechanism like TLS handshake to establish a secure channel over the connection and if both endpoints are PSP-capable - exchange and install PSP keys. Because the connection can existing in PSP-unsecured and PSP-secured state we need to make sure that there are no race conditions or retransmission leaks. On Tx - mark packets with the skb->decrypted bit when PSP key is at the enqueue time. Drivers should only encrypt packets with this bit set. This prevents retransmissions getting encrypted when original transmission was not. Similarly to TLS, we'll use sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb to make sure PSP skbs can't "escape" via a PSP-unaware device without being encrypted. On Rx - validation is done under socket lock. This moves the validation point later than xfrm, for example. Please see the documentation patch for more details on the flow of securing a connection, but for the purpose of this patch what's important is that we want to enforce the invariant that once connection is secured any skb in the receive queue has been encrypted with PSP. Add GRO and coalescing checks to prevent PSP authenticated data from being combined with cleartext data, or data with non-matching PSP state. On Rx, check skb's with psp_skb_coalesce_diff() at points before psp_sk_rx_policy_check(). After skb's are policy checked and on the socket receive queue, skb_cmp_decrypted() is sufficient for checking for coalescable PSP state. On Tx, tcp_write_collapse_fence() should be called when transitioning a socket into PSP Tx state to prevent data sent as cleartext from being coalesced with PSP encapsulated data. This change only adds the validation points, for ease of review. Subsequent change will add the ability to install keys, and flesh the enforcement logic out Reviewed-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Co-developed-by: Daniel Zahka <daniel.zahka@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Zahka <daniel.zahka@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250917000954.859376-5-daniel.zahka@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

Add GRO and coalescing checks to prevent PSP authenticated data from being combined with cleartext data, or data with non-matching PSP state. On Rx, check skb's with psp_skb_coalesce_diff() at points before psp_sk_rx_policy_check(). After skb's are policy checked and on the socket receive queue, skb_cmp_decrypted() is sufficient for checking for coalescable PSP state. On Tx, tcp_write_collapse_fence() should be called when transitioning a socket into PSP Tx state to prevent data sent as cleartext from being coalesced with PSP encapsulated data. This change only adds the validation points, for ease of review. Subsequent change will add the ability to install keys, and flesh the enforcement logic out Reviewed-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Co-developed-by: Daniel Zahka <daniel.zahka@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Zahka <daniel.zahka@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250917000954.859376-5-daniel.zahka@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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].

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.

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.

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: 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: 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.

tcp: accecn: AccECN option send control Instead of sending the option in every ACK, limit sending to those ACKs where the option is necessary: - Handshake - "Change-triggered ACK" + the ACK following it. The 2nd ACK is necessary to unambiguously indicate which of the ECN byte counters in increasing. 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: 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: 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.

tcp: accecn: try to fit AccECN option with SACK As SACK blocks tend to eat all option space when there are many holes, it is useful to compromise on sending many SACK blocks in every ACK and attempt to fit the AccECN option there by reducing the number of SACK blocks.

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.

tcp: accecn: try to fit AccECN option with SACK As SACK blocks tend to eat all option space when there are many holes, it is useful to compromise on sending many SACK blocks in every ACK and attempt to fit the AccECN option there by reducing the number of SACK blocks. However, it will never go below two SACK blocks because of the AccECN option. As the AccECN option is often not put to every ACK, the space hijack is usually only temporary. Depending on the reuqired AccECN fields (can be either 3, 2, 1, or 0, cf. Table 5 in AccECN spec) and the NOPs used for alignment of other TCP options, up to two SACK blocks will be reduced. Please find below tables for more details: +====================+=========================================+ | Number of | Required | Remaining | Number of | Final | | SACK | AccECN | option | reduced | number of | | blocks | fields | spaces | SACK blocks | SACK blocks | +===========+==========+===========+=============+=============+ | x (<=2) | 0 to 3 | any | 0 | x | +-----------+----------+-----------+-------------+-------------+ | 3 | 0 | any | 0 | 3 | | 3 | 1 | <4 | 1 | 2 | | 3 | 1 | >=4 | 0 | 3 | | 3 | 2 | <8 | 1 | 2 | | 3 | 2 | >=8 | 0 | 3 | | 3 | 3 | <12 | 1 | 2 | | 3 | 3 | >=12 | 0 | 3 | +-----------+----------+-----------+-------------+-------------+ | y (>=4) | 0 | any | 0 | y | | y (>=4) | 1 | <4 | 1 | y-1 | | y (>=4) | 1 | >=4 | 0 | y | | y (>=4) | 2 | <8 | 1 | y-1 | | y (>=4) | 2 | >=8 | 0 | y | | y (>=4) | 3 | <4 | 2 | y-2 | | y (>=4) | 3 | <12 | 1 | y-1 | | y (>=4) | 3 | >=12 | 0 | y | +===========+==========+===========+=============+=============+ Signed-off-by: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com> Co-developed-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ij@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ij@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250916082434.100722-11-chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

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.

IPv4 TCP fails to send window scale option when window scale is zero Acknowledge TCP window scale support by inserting the proper option in SYN/ACK and SYN headers even if our window scale is zero. This fixes the following observed behavior: 1. Client sends a SYN with TCP window scaling option and non zero window scale value to a Linux box. 2. Linux box notes large receive window from client. 3. Linux decides on a zero value of window scale for its part. 4. Due to compare against requested window scale size option, Linux does not to send windows scale TCP option header on SYN/ACK at all. With the following result: Client box thinks TCP window scaling is not supported, since SYN/ACK had no TCP window scale option, while Linux thinks that TCP window scaling is supported (and scale might be non zero), since SYN had TCP window scale option and we have a mismatched idea between the client and server regarding window sizes. Probably it also fixes up the following bug (not observed in practice): 1. Linux box opens TCP connection to some server. 2. Linux decides on zero value of window scale. 3. Due to compare against computed window scale size option, Linux does not to set windows scale TCP option header on SYN. With the expected result that the server OS does not use window scale option due to not receiving such an option in the SYN headers, leading to suboptimal performance.

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.

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: 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.

tcp: md5: do not send silly options in SYNCOOKIES Whenever cookie_init_timestamp() has been used to encode ECN,SACK,WSCALE options, we can not remove the TS option in the SYNACK. Otherwise, tcp_synack_options() will still advertize options like WSCALE that we can not deduce later when receiving the packet from the client to complete 3WHS. Note that modern linux TCP stacks wont use MD5+TS+SACK in a SYN packet, but we can not know for sure that all TCP stacks have the same logic. Before the fix a tcpdump would exhibit this wrong exchange : 10:12:15.464591 IP C > S: Flags [S], seq 4202415601, win 65535, options [nop,nop,md5 valid,mss 1400,sackOK,TS val 456965269 ecr 0,nop,wscale 8], length 0 10:12:15.464602 IP S > C: Flags [S.], seq 253516766, ack 4202415602, win 65535, options [nop,nop,md5 valid,mss 1400,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 8], length 0 10:12:15.464611 IP C > S: Flags [.], ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,md5 valid], length 0 10:12:15.464678 IP C > S: Flags [P.], seq 1:13, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,md5 valid], length 12 10:12:15.464685 IP S > C: Flags [.], ack 13, win 65535, options [nop,nop,md5 valid], length 0 After this patch the exchange looks saner : 11:59:59.882990 IP C > S: Flags [S], seq 517075944, win 65535, options [nop,nop,md5 valid,mss 1400,sackOK,TS val 1751508483 ecr 0,nop,wscale 8], length 0 11:59:59.883002 IP S > C: Flags [S.], seq 1902939253, ack 517075945, win 65535, options [nop,nop,md5 valid,mss 1400,sackOK,TS val 1751508479 ecr 1751508483,nop,wscale 8], length 0 11:59:59.883012 IP C > S: Flags [.], ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,md5 valid,nop,nop,TS val 1751508483 ecr 1751508479], length 0 11:59:59.883114 IP C > S: Flags [P.], seq 1:13, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,md5 valid,nop,nop,TS val 1751508483 ecr 1751508479], length 12 11:59:59.883122 IP S > C: Flags [.], ack 13, win 256, options [nop,nop,md5 valid,nop,nop,TS val 1751508483 ecr 1751508483], length 0 11:59:59.883152 IP S > C: Flags [P.], seq 1:13, ack 13, win 256, options [nop,nop,md5 valid,nop,nop,TS val 1751508484 ecr 1751508483], length 12 11:59:59.883170 IP C > S: Flags [.], ack 13, win 256, options [nop,nop,md5 valid,nop,nop,TS val 1751508484 ecr 1751508484], length 0 Of course, no SACK block will ever be added later, but nothing should break.

IPv4 TCP fails to send window scale option when window scale is zero Acknowledge TCP window scale support by inserting the proper option in SYN/ACK and SYN headers even if our window scale is zero. This fixes the following observed behavior: 1. Client sends a SYN with TCP window scaling option and non zero window scale value to a Linux box. 2. Linux box notes large receive window from client. 3. Linux decides on a zero value of window scale for its part. 4. Due to compare against requested window scale size option, Linux does not to send windows scale TCP option header on SYN/ACK at all. With the following result: Client box thinks TCP window scaling is not supported, since SYN/ACK had no TCP window scale option, while Linux thinks that TCP window scaling is supported (and scale might be non zero), since SYN had TCP window scale option and we have a mismatched idea between the client and server regarding window sizes. Probably it also fixes up the following bug (not observed in practice): 1. Linux box opens TCP connection to some server. 2. Linux decides on zero value of window scale. 3. Due to compare against computed window scale size option, Linux does not to set windows scale TCP option header on SYN. With the expected result that the server OS does not use window scale option due to not receiving such an option in the SYN headers, leading to suboptimal performance.

tcp: allow mptcp to drop TS for some packets With TCP-timestamps (padded) taking 12 bytes and ADD_ADDR IPv6 + port taking 30 bytes, the 40-byte limit for the TCP options is reached. In this case, it is then not possible to send the address signal. The idea is to let MPTCP dropping the TCP-timestamps option for some specific packets, to be able to send some specific pure ACK carrying >28 bytes of MPTCP options, like with this specific ADD_ADDR. A new parameter is passed from tcp_established_options to the MPTCP side to indicate if the TCP TS option is used, and if it should be dropped. The next commit implements the part on MPTCP side, but split into two patches to help TCP maintainers to identify the modifications on TCP side. This feature will be controlled by a new add_addr_v6_port_drop_ts MPTCP sysctl knob. It is important to keep in mind that dropping the TCP timestamps option for one packet of the connection could eventually disrupt some middleboxes: even if it should be unlikely, they could drop the packet or even block the connection. That's why this new feature will be controlled by a sysctl knob. Note that it would be technically possible to squeeze both options into the header if the ADD_ADDR is first written, and then the TCP timestamps without the NOPs preceding it. But this means more modifications on TCP side, plus some middleboxes could still be disrupted by that. In this implementation, an unused bit is used in mptcp_out_options structure to avoid passing an address to a local variable. Reading and setting it needs CONFIG_MPTCP, so the whole block now has this #if condition: mptcp_established_options() is then no longer used without CONFIG_MPTCP. About alternatives, instead of passing a new boolean (has_ts), another option would be to pass the whole option structure (opts), but 'struct tcp_out_options' is currently defined in tcp_output.c, and it would need to be exported. Plus that means the removal of the TCP TS option would be done on the MPTCP side, and not here on the TCP side. It feels clearer to remove other TCP options from the TCP side, than hiding that from the MPTCP side. Yet an other alternative would be to pass the size already taken by the other TCP options, and have a way to drop them all when needed. But this feels better to target only the timestamps option where dropping it should be safe, even if it is currently the only option that would be set before MPTCP, when MPTCP is used.

tcp: allow mptcp to drop TS for some packets With TCP-timestamps (padded) taking 12 bytes and ADD_ADDR IPv6 + port taking 30 bytes, the 40-byte limit for the TCP options is reached. In this case, it is then not possible to send the address signal. The idea is to let MPTCP dropping the TCP-timestamps option for some specific packets, to be able to send some specific pure ACK carrying >28 bytes of MPTCP options, like with this specific ADD_ADDR. A new parameter is passed from tcp_established_options to the MPTCP side to indicate if the TCP TS option is used, and if it should be dropped. The next commit implements the part on MPTCP side, but split into two patches to help TCP maintainers to identify the modifications on TCP side. This feature will be controlled by a new add_addr_v6_port_drop_ts MPTCP sysctl knob. It is important to keep in mind that dropping the TCP timestamps option for one packet of the connection could eventually disrupt some middleboxes: even if it should be unlikely, they could drop the packet or even block the connection. That's why this new feature will be controlled by a sysctl knob. Note that it would be technically possible to squeeze both options into the header if the ADD_ADDR is first written, and then the TCP timestamps without the NOPs preceding it.

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. Therefore, the group size of tcp_sock_write_rx is increased from 96 to 112.

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: 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.

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.

Lars trace involved a NIC without RX checksum support but other points are problematic as well, like the prequeue stuff. Problem is triggered by a timer, that found socket being owned by user. tcp_release_cb() should call tcp_write_timer_handler() or tcp_delack_timer_handler() in the appropriate context : BH disabled and socket lock held, but 'owned' field cleared, as if they were running from timer handlers.

tcp: defer regular ACK while processing socket backlog This idea came after a particular workload requested the quickack attribute set on routes, and a performance drop was noticed for large bulk transfers. For high throughput flows, it is best to use one cpu running the user thread issuing socket system calls, and a separate cpu to process incoming packets from BH context. (With TSO/GRO, bottleneck is usually the 'user' cpu) Problem is the user thread can spend a lot of time while holding the socket lock, forcing BH handler to queue most of incoming packets in the socket backlog. Whenever the user thread releases the socket lock, it must first process all accumulated packets in the backlog, potentially adding latency spikes. Due to flood mitigation, having too many packets in the backlog increases chance of unexpected drops. Backlog processing unfortunately shifts a fair amount of cpu cycles from the BH cpu to the 'user' cpu, thus reducing max throughput. This patch takes advantage of the backlog processing, and the fact that ACK are mostly cumulative. The idea is to detect we are in the backlog processing and defer all eligible ACK into a single one, sent from tcp_release_cb(). This saves cpu cycles on both sides, and network resources. Performance of a single TCP flow on a 200Gbit NIC: - Throughput is increased by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit). - Number of generated ACK per second shrinks from 240,000 to 40,000. - Number of backlog drops per second shrinks from 230 to 0. Benchmark context: - Regular netperf TCP_STREAM (no zerocopy) - Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8481C (Saphire Rapids) - MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 17 (~60KB per GRO packet) This feature is guarded by a new sysctl, and enabled by default: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_backlog_ack_defer Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@google.com> Acked-by: Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

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.

tcp: TCP Small Queues and strange attractors TCP Small queues tries to keep number of packets in qdisc as small as possible, and depends on a tasklet to feed following packets at TX completion time. Choice of tasklet was driven by latencies requirements. Then, TCP stack tries to avoid reorders, by locking flows with outstanding packets in qdisc in a given TX queue. What can happen is that many flows get attracted by a low performing TX queue, and cpu servicing TX completion has to feed packets for all of them, making this cpu 100% busy in softirq mode. This became particularly visible with latest skb->xmit_more support Strategy adopted in this patch is to detect when tcp_wfree() is called from ksoftirqd and let the outstanding queue for this flow being drained before feeding additional packets, so that skb->ooo_okay can be set to allow select_queue() to select the optimal queue : Incoming ACKS are normally handled by different cpus, so this patch gives more chance for these cpus to take over the burden of feeding qdisc with future packets.

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.

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. Taking care of these headers would add additional complexity for no practical differences in behavior.

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: 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: force a PSH flag on TSO packets When tcp sends a TSO packet, adding a PSH flag on it reduces the sojourn time of GRO packet in GRO receivers. This is particularly the case under pressure, since RX queues receive packets for many concurrent flows. A sender can give a hint to GRO engines when it is appropriate to flush a super-packet, especially when pacing is in the picture, since next packet is probably delayed by one ms. Having less packets in GRO engine reduces chance of LRU eviction or inflated RTT, and reduces GRO cost. We found recently that we must not set the PSH flag on individual full-size MSS segments [1] : Under pressure (CWR state), we better let the packet sit for a small delay (depending on NAPI logic) so that the ACK packet is delayed, and thus next packet we send is also delayed a bit. Eventually the bottleneck queue can be drained. DCTCP flows with CWND=1 have demonstrated the issue. This patch allows to slowdown the aggregate traffic without involving high resolution timers on senders and/or receivers. It has been used at Google for about four years, and has been discussed at various networking conferences. [1] segments smaller than MSS already have PSH flag set by tcp_sendmsg() / tcp_mark_push(), unless MSG_MORE has been requested by the user.

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.

tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxt Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the sequence number of a packet. This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification (though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible. Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up. Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data. Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted. This way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet. The only potential downside is that applications on the remote end may see multiple SIGURG notifications. However, this would occur anyway with other TCP stacks. More importantly, the outcome of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since the signal itself does not carry any information other than the fact that we're in urgent mode.

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: 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. The fix is simple: only count packets as serving the goal of the quickack mechanism if they are ACKing/SACKing new data. We can tell whether this is the case by checking inet_csk_ack_scheduled(), since we schedule an ACK exactly when we are ACKing/SACKing new data.

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.

tcp: add datapath logic for PSP with inline key exchange Add validation points and state propagation to support PSP key exchange inline, on TCP connections. The expectation is that application will use some well established mechanism like TLS handshake to establish a secure channel over the connection and if both endpoints are PSP-capable - exchange and install PSP keys. Because the connection can existing in PSP-unsecured and PSP-secured state we need to make sure that there are no race conditions or retransmission leaks. On Tx - mark packets with the skb->decrypted bit when PSP key is at the enqueue time. Drivers should only encrypt packets with this bit set. This prevents retransmissions getting encrypted when original transmission was not. Similarly to TLS, we'll use sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb to make sure PSP skbs can't "escape" via a PSP-unaware device without being encrypted. On Rx - validation is done under socket lock. This moves the validation point later than xfrm, for example. Please see the documentation patch for more details on the flow of securing a connection, but for the purpose of this patch what's important is that we want to enforce the invariant that once connection is secured any skb in the receive queue has been encrypted with PSP. Add GRO and coalescing checks to prevent PSP authenticated data from being combined with cleartext data, or data with non-matching PSP state. On Rx, check skb's with psp_skb_coalesce_diff() at points before psp_sk_rx_policy_check(). After skb's are policy checked and on the socket receive queue, skb_cmp_decrypted() is sufficient for checking for coalescable PSP state. On Tx, tcp_write_collapse_fence() should be called when transitioning a socket into PSP Tx state to prevent data sent as cleartext from being coalesced with PSP encapsulated data. This change only adds the validation points, for ease of review. Subsequent change will add the ability to install keys, and flesh the enforcement logic out Reviewed-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Co-developed-by: Daniel Zahka <daniel.zahka@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Zahka <daniel.zahka@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250917000954.859376-5-daniel.zahka@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

net/tls: prevent skb_orphan() from leaking TLS plain text with offload sk_validate_xmit_skb() and drivers depend on the sk member of struct sk_buff to identify segments requiring encryption. Any operation which removes or does not preserve the original TLS socket such as skb_orphan() or skb_clone() will cause clear text leaks. Make the TCP socket underlying an offloaded TLS connection mark all skbs as decrypted, if TLS TX is in offload mode. Then in sk_validate_xmit_skb() catch skbs which have no socket (or a socket with no validation) and decrypted flag set. Note that CONFIG_SOCK_VALIDATE_XMIT, CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE and sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb are slightly interchangeable right now, they all imply TLS offload. The new checks are guarded by CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE because that's the option guarding the sk_buff->decrypted member. Second, smaller issue with orphaning is that it breaks the guarantee that packets will be delivered to device queues in-order. All TLS offload drivers depend on that scheduling property. This means skb_orphan_partial()'s trick of preserving partial socket references will cause issues in the drivers. We need a full orphan, and as a result netem delay/throttling will cause all TLS offload skbs to be dropped. Reusing the sk_buff->decrypted flag also protects from leaking clear text when incoming, decrypted skb is redirected (e.g. by TC). See commit 0608c69c9a80 ("bpf: sk_msg, sock{map|hash} redirect through ULP") for justification why the internal flag is safe. The only location which could leak the flag in is tcp_bpf_sendmsg(), which is taken care of by clearing the previously unused bit. v2: - remove superfluous decrypted mark copy (Willem); - remove the stale doc entry (Boris); - rely entirely on EOR marking to prevent coalescing (Boris); - use an internal sendpages flag instead of marking the socket (Boris). v3 (Willem): - reorganize the can_skb_orphan_partial() condition; - fix the flag leak-in through tcp_bpf_sendmsg.

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.

ipv6: RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG causes inefficient TCP segment sizing Quoting Tore Anderson from : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42572 When RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG is set on a route, the effective TCP segment size does not take into account the size of the IPv6 Fragmentation header that needs to be included in outbound packets, causing every transmitted TCP segment to be fragmented across two IPv6 packets, the latter of which will only contain 8 bytes of actual payload. RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG is typically set on a route in response to receving a ICMPv6 Packet Too Big message indicating a Path MTU of less than 1280 bytes. 1280 bytes is the minimum IPv6 MTU, however ICMPv6 PTBs with MTU < 1280 are still valid, in particular when an IPv6 packet is sent to an IPv4 destination through a stateless translator. Any ICMPv4 Need To Fragment packets originated from the IPv4 part of the path will be translated to ICMPv6 PTB which may then indicate an MTU of less than 1280. The Linux kernel refuses to reduce the effective MTU to anything below 1280 bytes, instead it sets it to exactly 1280 bytes, and RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG is also set. However, the TCP segment size appears to be set to 1240 bytes (1280 Path MTU - 40 bytes of IPv6 header), instead of 1232 (additionally taking into account the 8 bytes required by the IPv6 Fragmentation extension header). This in turn results in rather inefficient transmission, as every transmitted TCP segment now is split in two fragments containing 1232+8 bytes of payload. After this patch, all the outgoing packets that includes a Fragmentation header all are "atomic" or "non-fragmented" fragments, i.e., they both have Offset=0 and More Fragments=0.

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: 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: 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: refine TSO splits While investigating performance problems on small RPC workloads, I noticed linux TCP stack was always splitting the last TSO skb into two parts (skbs). One being a multiple of MSS, and a small one with the Push flag. This split is done even if TCP_NODELAY is set, or if no small packet is in flight. Example with request/response of 4K/4K IP A > B: . ack 68432 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: . 65537:68433(2896) ack 69632 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: P 68433:69633(1200) ack 69632 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP B > A: . ack 68433 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP B > A: . 69632:72528(2896) ack 69633 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP B > A: P 72528:73728(1200) ack 69633 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP A > B: . ack 72528 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: . 69633:72529(2896) ack 73728 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: P 72529:73729(1200) ack 73728 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> We can avoid this split by including the Nagle tests at the right place. Note : If some NIC had trouble sending TSO packets with a partial last segment, we would have hit the problem in GRO/forwarding workload already. tcp_minshall_update() is moved to tcp_output.c and is updated as we might feed a TSO packet with a partial last segment. This patch tremendously improves performance, as the traffic now looks like : IP A > B: . ack 98304 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834277 6834685> IP A > B: P 94209:98305(4096) ack 98304 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834277 6834685> IP B > A: . ack 98305 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834686 6834277> IP B > A: P 98304:102400(4096) ack 98305 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834686 6834277> IP A > B: . ack 102400 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834279 6834686> IP A > B: P 98305:102401(4096) ack 102400 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834279 6834686> IP B > A: . ack 102401 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834687 6834279> IP B > A: P 102400:106496(4096) ack 102401 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834687 6834279> IP A > B: . ack 106496 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834280 6834687> IP A > B: P 102401:106497(4096) ack 106496 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834280 6834687> IP B > A: . ack 106497 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834688 6834280> IP B > A: P 106496:110592(4096) ack 106497 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834688 6834280> Before : lpq83:~# nstat >/dev/null;perf stat ./super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K 280774 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K': 205719.049006 task-clock # 9.278 CPUs utilized 8,449,968 context-switches # 0.041 M/sec 1,935,997 CPU-migrations # 0.009 M/sec 160,541 page-faults # 0.780 K/sec 548,478,722,290 cycles # 2.666 GHz [83.20%] 455,240,670,857 stalled-cycles-frontend # 83.00% frontend cycles idle [83.48%] 272,881,454,275 stalled-cycles-backend # 49.75% backend cycles idle [66.73%] 166,091,460,030 instructions # 0.30 insns per cycle # 2.74 stalled cycles per insn [83.39%] 29,150,229,399 branches # 141.699 M/sec [83.30%] 1,943,814,026 branch-misses # 6.67% of all branches [83.32%] 22.173517844 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# nstat | egrep "IpOutRequests|IpExtOutOctets" IpOutRequests 16851063 0.0 IpExtOutOctets 23878580777 0.0 After patch : lpq83:~# nstat >/dev/null;perf stat ./super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K 280877 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K': 107496.071918 task-clock # 4.847 CPUs utilized 5,635,458 context-switches # 0.052 M/sec 1,374,707 CPU-migrations # 0.013 M/sec 160,920 page-faults # 0.001 M/sec 281,500,010,924 cycles # 2.619 GHz [83.28%] 228,865,069,307 stalled-cycles-frontend # 81.30% frontend cycles idle [83.38%] 142,462,742,658 stalled-cycles-backend # 50.61% backend cycles idle [66.81%] 95,227,712,566 instructions # 0.34 insns per cycle # 2.40 stalled cycles per insn [83.43%] 16,209,868,171 branches # 150.795 M/sec [83.20%] 874,252,952 branch-misses # 5.39% of all branches [83.37%] 22.175821286 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# nstat | egrep "IpOutRequests|IpExtOutOctets" IpOutRequests 11239428 0.0 IpExtOutOctets 23595191035 0.0 Indeed, the occupancy of tx skbs (IpExtOutOctets/IpOutRequests) is higher : 2099 instead of 1417, thus helping GRO to be more efficient when using FQ packet scheduler.

One being a multiple of MSS, and a small one with the Push flag. This split is done even if TCP_NODELAY is set, or if no small packet is in flight. Example with request/response of 4K/4K IP A > B: . ack 68432 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: . 65537:68433(2896) ack 69632 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: P 68433:69633(1200) ack 69632 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP B > A: . ack 68433 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP B > A: . 69632:72528(2896) ack 69633 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP B > A: P 72528:73728(1200) ack 69633 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP A > B: . ack 72528 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: . 69633:72529(2896) ack 73728 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: P 72529:73729(1200) ack 73728 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> We can avoid this split by including the Nagle tests at the right place. Note : If some NIC had trouble sending TSO packets with a partial last segment, we would have hit the problem in GRO/forwarding workload already. tcp_minshall_update() is moved to tcp_output.c and is updated as we might feed a TSO packet with a partial last segment. This patch tremendously improves performance, as the traffic now looks like : IP A > B: . ack 98304 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834277 6834685> IP A > B: P 94209:98305(4096) ack 98304 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834277 6834685> IP B > A: . ack 98305 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834686 6834277> IP B > A: P 98304:102400(4096) ack 98305 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834686 6834277> IP A > B: . ack 102400 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834279 6834686> IP A > B: P 98305:102401(4096) ack 102400 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834279 6834686> IP B > A: . ack 102401 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834687 6834279> IP B > A: P 102400:106496(4096) ack 102401 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834687 6834279> IP A > B: . ack 106496 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834280 6834687> IP A > B: P 102401:106497(4096) ack 106496 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834280 6834687> IP B > A: . ack 106497 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834688 6834280> IP B > A: P 106496:110592(4096) ack 106497 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834688 6834280> Before : lpq83:~# nstat >/dev/null;perf stat ./super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K 280774 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K': 205719.049006 task-clock # 9.278 CPUs utilized 8,449,968 context-switches # 0.041 M/sec 1,935,997 CPU-migrations # 0.009 M/sec 160,541 page-faults # 0.780 K/sec 548,478,722,290 cycles # 2.666 GHz [83.20%] 455,240,670,857 stalled-cycles-frontend # 83.00% frontend cycles idle [83.48%] 272,881,454,275 stalled-cycles-backend # 49.75% backend cycles idle [66.73%] 166,091,460,030 instructions # 0.30 insns per cycle # 2.74 stalled cycles per insn [83.39%] 29,150,229,399 branches # 141.699 M/sec [83.30%] 1,943,814,026 branch-misses # 6.67% of all branches [83.32%] 22.173517844 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# nstat | egrep "IpOutRequests|IpExtOutOctets" IpOutRequests 16851063 0.0 IpExtOutOctets 23878580777 0.0 After patch : lpq83:~# nstat >/dev/null;perf stat ./super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K 280877 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K': 107496.071918 task-clock # 4.847 CPUs utilized 5,635,458 context-switches # 0.052 M/sec 1,374,707 CPU-migrations # 0.013 M/sec 160,920 page-faults # 0.001 M/sec 281,500,010,924 cycles # 2.619 GHz [83.28%] 228,865,069,307 stalled-cycles-frontend # 81.30% frontend cycles idle [83.38%] 142,462,742,658 stalled-cycles-backend # 50.61% backend cycles idle [66.81%] 95,227,712,566 instructions # 0.34 insns per cycle # 2.40 stalled cycles per insn [83.43%] 16,209,868,171 branches # 150.795 M/sec [83.20%] 874,252,952 branch-misses # 5.39% of all branches [83.37%] 22.175821286 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# nstat | egrep "IpOutRequests|IpExtOutOctets" IpOutRequests 11239428 0.0 IpExtOutOctets 23595191035 0.0 Indeed, the occupancy of tx skbs (IpExtOutOctets/IpOutRequests) is higher : 2099 instead of 1417, thus helping GRO to be more efficient when using FQ packet scheduler.

tcp: refine TSO autosizing Commit 95bd09eb2750 ("tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing") tried to control TSO size, but did this at the wrong place (sendmsg() time) At sendmsg() time, we might have a pessimistic view of flow rate, and we end up building very small skbs (with 2 MSS per skb). This is bad because : - It sends small TSO packets even in Slow Start where rate quickly increases. - It tends to make socket write queue very big, increasing tcp_ack() processing time, but also increasing memory needs, not necessarily accounted for, as fast clones overhead is currently ignored. - Lower GRO efficiency and more ACK packets. Servers with a lot of small lived connections suffer from this. Lets instead fill skbs as much as possible (64KB of payload), but split them at xmit time, when we have a precise idea of the flow rate. skb split is actually quite efficient. Patch looks bigger than necessary, because TCP Small Queue decision now has to take place after the eventual split. As Neal suggested, introduce a new tcp_tso_autosize() helper, so that tcp_tso_should_defer() can be synchronized on same goal. Rename tp->xmit_size_goal_segs to tp->gso_segs, as this variable contains number of mss that we can put in GSO packet, and is not related to the autosizing goal anymore.

tcp: adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt Back when tcp_tso_autosize() and TCP pacing were introduced, our focus was really to reduce burst sizes for long distance flows. The simple heuristic of using sk_pacing_rate/1024 has worked well, but can lead to too small packets for hosts in the same rack/cluster, when thousands of flows compete for the bottleneck. Neal Cardwell had the idea of making the TSO burst size a function of both sk_pacing_rate and tcp_min_rtt() Indeed, for local flows, sending bigger bursts is better to reduce cpu costs, as occasional losses can be repaired quite fast. This patch is based on Neal Cardwell implementation done more than two years ago. bbr is adjusting max_pacing_rate based on measured bandwidth, while cubic would over estimate max_pacing_rate. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tso_rtt_log can be used to tune or disable this new feature, in logarithmic steps. Tested: 100Gbit NIC, two hosts in the same rack, 4K MTU. 600 flows rate-limited to 20000000 bytes per second. Before patch: (TSO sizes would be limited to 20000000/1024/4096 -> 4 segments per TSO) ~# echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tso_rtt_log ~# nstat -n;perf stat ./super_netperf 600 -H otrv6 -l 20 -- -K dctcp -q 20000000;nstat|egrep "TcpInSegs|TcpOutSegs|TcpRetransSegs|Delivered" 96005 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 600 -H otrv6 -l 20 -- -K dctcp -q 20000000': 65,945.29 msec task-clock # 2.845 CPUs utilized 1,314,632 context-switches # 19935.279 M/sec 5,292 cpu-migrations # 80.249 M/sec 940,641 page-faults # 14264.023 M/sec 201,117,030,926 cycles # 3049769.216 GHz (83.45%) 17,699,435,405 stalled-cycles-frontend # 8.80% frontend cycles idle (83.48%) 136,584,015,071 stalled-cycles-backend # 67.91% backend cycles idle (83.44%) 53,809,530,436 instructions # 0.27 insn per cycle # 2.54 stalled cycles per insn (83.36%) 9,062,315,523 branches # 137422329.563 M/sec (83.22%) 153,008,621 branch-misses # 1.69% of all branches (83.32%) 23.182970846 seconds time elapsed TcpInSegs 15648792 0.0 TcpOutSegs 58659110 0.0 # Average of 3.7 4K segments per TSO packet TcpExtTCPDelivered 58654791 0.0 TcpExtTCPDeliveredCE 19 0.0 After patch: ~# echo 9 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tso_rtt_log ~# nstat -n;perf stat ./super_netperf 600 -H otrv6 -l 20 -- -K dctcp -q 20000000;nstat|egrep "TcpInSegs|TcpOutSegs|TcpRetransSegs|Delivered" 96046 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 600 -H otrv6 -l 20 -- -K dctcp -q 20000000': 48,982.58 msec task-clock # 2.104 CPUs utilized 186,014 context-switches # 3797.599 M/sec 3,109 cpu-migrations # 63.472 M/sec 941,180 page-faults # 19214.814 M/sec 153,459,763,868 cycles # 3132982.807 GHz (83.56%) 12,069,861,356 stalled-cycles-frontend # 7.87% frontend cycles idle (83.32%) 120,485,917,953 stalled-cycles-backend # 78.51% backend cycles idle (83.24%) 36,803,672,106 instructions # 0.24 insn per cycle # 3.27 stalled cycles per insn (83.18%) 5,947,266,275 branches # 121417383.427 M/sec (83.64%) 87,984,616 branch-misses # 1.48% of all branches (83.43%) 23.281200256 seconds time elapsed TcpInSegs 1434706 0.0 TcpOutSegs 58883378 0.0 # Average of 41 4K segments per TSO packet TcpExtTCPDelivered 58878971 0.0 TcpExtTCPDeliveredCE 9664 0.0 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reviewed-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220309015757.2532973-1-eric.dumazet@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

Servers with a lot of small lived connections suffer from this. Lets instead fill skbs as much as possible (64KB of payload), but split them at xmit time, when we have a precise idea of the flow rate. skb split is actually quite efficient. Patch looks bigger than necessary, because TCP Small Queue decision now has to take place after the eventual split. As Neal suggested, introduce a new tcp_tso_autosize() helper, so that tcp_tso_should_defer() can be synchronized on same goal. Rename tp->xmit_size_goal_segs to tp->gso_segs, as this variable contains number of mss that we can put in GSO packet, and is not related to the autosizing goal anymore.

tcp: adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt Back when tcp_tso_autosize() and TCP pacing were introduced, our focus was really to reduce burst sizes for long distance flows. The simple heuristic of using sk_pacing_rate/1024 has worked well, but can lead to too small packets for hosts in the same rack/cluster, when thousands of flows compete for the bottleneck. Neal Cardwell had the idea of making the TSO burst size a function of both sk_pacing_rate and tcp_min_rtt() Indeed, for local flows, sending bigger bursts is better to reduce cpu costs, as occasional losses can be repaired quite fast. This patch is based on Neal Cardwell implementation done more than two years ago. bbr is adjusting max_pacing_rate based on measured bandwidth, while cubic would over estimate max_pacing_rate. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tso_rtt_log can be used to tune or disable this new feature, in logarithmic steps. Tested: 100Gbit NIC, two hosts in the same rack, 4K MTU. 600 flows rate-limited to 20000000 bytes per second.

tcp_bbr: better deal with suboptimal GSO BBR uses tcp_tso_autosize() in an attempt to probe what would be the burst sizes and to adjust cwnd in bbr_target_cwnd() with following gold formula : /* Allow enough full-sized skbs in flight to utilize end systems. */ cwnd += 3 * bbr->tso_segs_goal; But GSO can be lacking or be constrained to very small units (ip link set dev ... gso_max_segs 2) What we really want is to have enough packets in flight so that both GSO and GRO are efficient. So in the case GSO is off or downgraded, we still want to have the same number of packets in flight as if GSO/TSO was fully operational, so that GRO can hopefully be working efficiently. To fix this issue, we make tcp_tso_autosize() unaware of sk->sk_gso_max_segs Only tcp_tso_segs() has to enforce the gso_max_segs limit.

tcp: refine TSO splits While investigating performance problems on small RPC workloads, I noticed linux TCP stack was always splitting the last TSO skb into two parts (skbs). One being a multiple of MSS, and a small one with the Push flag. This split is done even if TCP_NODELAY is set, or if no small packet is in flight. Example with request/response of 4K/4K IP A > B: . ack 68432 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: . 65537:68433(2896) ack 69632 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: P 68433:69633(1200) ack 69632 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP B > A: . ack 68433 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP B > A: . 69632:72528(2896) ack 69633 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP B > A: P 72528:73728(1200) ack 69633 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593> IP A > B: . ack 72528 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: . 69633:72529(2896) ack 73728 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> IP A > B: P 72529:73729(1200) ack 73728 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001> We can avoid this split by including the Nagle tests at the right place. Note : If some NIC had trouble sending TSO packets with a partial last segment, we would have hit the problem in GRO/forwarding workload already. tcp_minshall_update() is moved to tcp_output.c and is updated as we might feed a TSO packet with a partial last segment. This patch tremendously improves performance, as the traffic now looks like : IP A > B: . ack 98304 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834277 6834685> IP A > B: P 94209:98305(4096) ack 98304 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834277 6834685> IP B > A: . ack 98305 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834686 6834277> IP B > A: P 98304:102400(4096) ack 98305 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834686 6834277> IP A > B: . ack 102400 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834279 6834686> IP A > B: P 98305:102401(4096) ack 102400 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834279 6834686> IP B > A: . ack 102401 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834687 6834279> IP B > A: P 102400:106496(4096) ack 102401 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834687 6834279> IP A > B: . ack 106496 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834280 6834687> IP A > B: P 102401:106497(4096) ack 106496 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834280 6834687> IP B > A: . ack 106497 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834688 6834280> IP B > A: P 106496:110592(4096) ack 106497 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834688 6834280> Before : lpq83:~# nstat >/dev/null;perf stat ./super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K 280774 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K': 205719.049006 task-clock # 9.278 CPUs utilized 8,449,968 context-switches # 0.041 M/sec 1,935,997 CPU-migrations # 0.009 M/sec 160,541 page-faults # 0.780 K/sec 548,478,722,290 cycles # 2.666 GHz [83.20%] 455,240,670,857 stalled-cycles-frontend # 83.00% frontend cycles idle [83.48%] 272,881,454,275 stalled-cycles-backend # 49.75% backend cycles idle [66.73%] 166,091,460,030 instructions # 0.30 insns per cycle # 2.74 stalled cycles per insn [83.39%] 29,150,229,399 branches # 141.699 M/sec [83.30%] 1,943,814,026 branch-misses # 6.67% of all branches [83.32%] 22.173517844 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# nstat | egrep "IpOutRequests|IpExtOutOctets" IpOutRequests 16851063 0.0 IpExtOutOctets 23878580777 0.0 After patch : lpq83:~# nstat >/dev/null;perf stat ./super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K 280877 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 200 -t TCP_RR -H lpq84 -l 20 -- -r 4K,4K': 107496.071918 task-clock # 4.847 CPUs utilized 5,635,458 context-switches # 0.052 M/sec 1,374,707 CPU-migrations # 0.013 M/sec 160,920 page-faults # 0.001 M/sec 281,500,010,924 cycles # 2.619 GHz [83.28%] 228,865,069,307 stalled-cycles-frontend # 81.30% frontend cycles idle [83.38%] 142,462,742,658 stalled-cycles-backend # 50.61% backend cycles idle [66.81%] 95,227,712,566 instructions # 0.34 insns per cycle # 2.40 stalled cycles per insn [83.43%] 16,209,868,171 branches # 150.795 M/sec [83.20%] 874,252,952 branch-misses # 5.39% of all branches [83.37%] 22.175821286 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# nstat | egrep "IpOutRequests|IpExtOutOctets" IpOutRequests 11239428 0.0 IpExtOutOctets 23595191035 0.0 Indeed, the occupancy of tx skbs (IpExtOutOctets/IpOutRequests) is higher : 2099 instead of 1417, thus helping GRO to be more efficient when using FQ packet scheduler.

tcp: refine TSO splits While investigating performance problems on small RPC workloads, I noticed linux TCP stack was always splitting the last TSO skb into two parts (skbs). One being a multiple of MSS, and a small one with the Push flag. This split is done even if TCP_NODELAY is set, or if no small packet is in flight.

tcp: refactor F-RTO The patch series refactor the F-RTO feature (RFC4138/5682). This is to simplify the loss recovery processing. Existing F-RTO was developed during the experimental stage (RFC4138) and has many experimental features. It takes a separate code path from the traditional timeout processing by overloading CA_Disorder instead of using CA_Loss state. This complicates CA_Disorder state handling because it's also used for handling dubious ACKs and undos. While the algorithm in the RFC does not change the congestion control, the implementation intercepts congestion control in various places (e.g., frto_cwnd in tcp_ack()). The new code implements newer F-RTO RFC5682 using CA_Loss processing path. F-RTO becomes a small extension in the timeout processing and interfaces with congestion control and Eifel undo modules. It lets congestion control (module) determines how many to send independently. F-RTO only chooses what to send in order to detect spurious retranmission. If timeout is found spurious it invokes existing Eifel undo algorithms like DSACK or TCP timestamp based detection. The first patch removes all F-RTO code except the sysctl_tcp_frto is left for the new implementation. Since CA_EVENT_FRTO is removed, TCP westwood now computes ssthresh on regular timeout CA_EVENT_LOSS event.

net/tls: prevent skb_orphan() from leaking TLS plain text with offload sk_validate_xmit_skb() and drivers depend on the sk member of struct sk_buff to identify segments requiring encryption. Any operation which removes or does not preserve the original TLS socket such as skb_orphan() or skb_clone() will cause clear text leaks. Make the TCP socket underlying an offloaded TLS connection mark all skbs as decrypted, if TLS TX is in offload mode. Then in sk_validate_xmit_skb() catch skbs which have no socket (or a socket with no validation) and decrypted flag set. Note that CONFIG_SOCK_VALIDATE_XMIT, CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE and sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb are slightly interchangeable right now, they all imply TLS offload. The new checks are guarded by CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE because that's the option guarding the sk_buff->decrypted member. Second, smaller issue with orphaning is that it breaks the guarantee that packets will be delivered to device queues in-order. All TLS offload drivers depend on that scheduling property. This means skb_orphan_partial()'s trick of preserving partial socket references will cause issues in the drivers. We need a full orphan, and as a result netem delay/throttling will cause all TLS offload skbs to be dropped. Reusing the sk_buff->decrypted flag also protects from leaking clear text when incoming, decrypted skb is redirected (e.g. by TC). See commit 0608c69c9a80 ("bpf: sk_msg, sock{map|hash} redirect through ULP") for justification why the internal flag is safe. The only location which could leak the flag in is tcp_bpf_sendmsg(), which is taken care of by clearing the previously unused bit. v2: - remove superfluous decrypted mark copy (Willem); - remove the stale doc entry (Boris); - rely entirely on EOR marking to prevent coalescing (Boris); - use an internal sendpages flag instead of marking the socket (Boris). v3 (Willem): - reorganize the can_skb_orphan_partial() condition; - fix the flag leak-in through tcp_bpf_sendmsg.

[NET] CORE: Introducing new memory accounting interface. This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions for stream protocols. At the same time, some stream memory accounting functions are removed since other functions do same thing. Renaming: sk_stream_free_skb() -> sk_wmem_free_skb() __sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> __sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_schedule -> __sk_mem_schedule() sk_stream_pages() -> sk_mem_pages() sk_stream_rmem_schedule() -> sk_rmem_schedule() sk_stream_wmem_schedule() -> sk_wmem_schedule() sk_charge_skb() -> sk_mem_charge() Removeing sk_stream_rfree(): consolidates into sock_rfree() sk_stream_set_owner_r(): consolidates into skb_set_owner_r() sk_stream_mem_schedule() The following functions are added. sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge() In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is removed from sk_mem_charge(). Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call. Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface in TCP and SCTP.

tcp: tso: restore IW10 after TSO autosizing With sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs being 4, it is very possible that tcp_tso_should_defer() decides not sending last 2 MSS of initial window of 10 packets. This also applies if autosizing decides to send X MSS per GSO packet, and cwnd is not a multiple of X. This patch implements an heuristic based on age of first skb in write queue : If it was sent very recently (less than half srtt), we can predict that no ACK packet will come in less than half rtt, so deferring might cause an under utilization of our window. This is visible on initial send (IW10) on web servers, but more generally on some RPC, as the last part of the message might need an extra RTT to get delivered.

tcp: refine TSO autosizing Commit 95bd09eb2750 ("tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing") tried to control TSO size, but did this at the wrong place (sendmsg() time) At sendmsg() time, we might have a pessimistic view of flow rate, and we end up building very small skbs (with 2 MSS per skb). This is bad because : - It sends small TSO packets even in Slow Start where rate quickly increases. - It tends to make socket write queue very big, increasing tcp_ack() processing time, but also increasing memory needs, not necessarily accounted for, as fast clones overhead is currently ignored. - Lower GRO efficiency and more ACK packets. Servers with a lot of small lived connections suffer from this. Lets instead fill skbs as much as possible (64KB of payload), but split them at xmit time, when we have a precise idea of the flow rate. skb split is actually quite efficient. Patch looks bigger than necessary, because TCP Small Queue decision now has to take place after the eventual split. As Neal suggested, introduce a new tcp_tso_autosize() helper, so that tcp_tso_should_defer() can be synchronized on same goal. Rename tp->xmit_size_goal_segs to tp->gso_segs, as this variable contains number of mss that we can put in GSO packet, and is not related to the autosizing goal anymore.

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: tso: restore IW10 after TSO autosizing With sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs being 4, it is very possible that tcp_tso_should_defer() decides not sending last 2 MSS of initial window of 10 packets. This also applies if autosizing decides to send X MSS per GSO packet, and cwnd is not a multiple of X. This patch implements an heuristic based on age of first skb in write queue : If it was sent very recently (less than half srtt), we can predict that no ACK packet will come in less than half rtt, so deferring might cause an under utilization of our window. This is visible on initial send (IW10) on web servers, but more generally on some RPC, as the last part of the message might need an extra RTT to get delivered.

net: skbuff: propagate shared-frag marker through frag-transfer helpers Two frag-transfer helpers (__pskb_copy_fclone() and skb_shift()) fail to propagate the SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG bit in skb_shinfo()->flags when moving frags from source to destination. __pskb_copy_fclone() defers the rest of the shinfo metadata to skb_copy_header() after copying frag descriptors, but that helper only carries over gso_{size,segs, type} and never touches skb_shinfo()->flags; skb_shift() moves frag descriptors directly and leaves flags untouched. As a result, the destination skb keeps a reference to the same externally-owned or page-cache-backed pages while reporting skb_has_shared_frag() as false. The mismatch is harmful in any in-place writer that uses skb_has_shared_frag() to decide whether shared pages must be detoured through skb_cow_data(). ESP input is one such writer (esp4.c, esp6.c), and a single nft 'dup to <local>' rule -- or any other nf_dup_ipv4() / xt_TEE caller -- is enough to land a pskb_copy()'d skb in esp_input() with the marker stripped, letting an unprivileged user write into the page cache of a root-owned read-only file via authencesn-ESN stray writes. Set SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG on the destination whenever frag descriptors were actually moved from the source. skb_copy() and skb_copy_expand() share skb_copy_header() too but linearize all paged data into freshly allocated head storage and emerge with nr_frags == 0, so skb_has_shared_frag() returns false on its own; they need no change. The same omission exists in skb_gro_receive() and skb_gro_receive_list(). The former moves the incoming skb's frag descriptors into the accumulator's last sub-skb via two paths (a direct frag-move loop and the head_frag + memcpy path); the latter chains the incoming skb whole onto p's frag_list. Downstream skb_segment() reads only skb_shinfo(p)->flags, and skb_segment_list() reuses each sub-skb's shinfo as the nskb -- both p and lp must carry the marker. The same omission also exists in tcp_clone_payload(), which builds an MTU probe skb by moving frag descriptors from skbs on sk_write_queue into a freshly allocated nskb. The helper falls into the same family and warrants the same fix for consistency; no TCP TX-side in-place writer is currently known to reach a user page through this gap, but a future consumer depending on the marker would regress silently. The same omission exists in skb_segment(): the per-iteration flag merge takes only head_skb's flag, and the inner switch that rebinds frag_skb to list_skb on head_skb-frags exhaustion does not fold the new frag_skb's flag into nskb. Fold frag_skb's flag at both sites so segments drawing frags from frag_list members carry the marker.

net: ipv4: bound TCP reordering sysctl writes and MTU probe sizes Reject invalid `net.ipv4.tcp_reordering` values before they reach TCP socket state. The sysctl is stored as an `int` but copied into the `u32` `tp->reordering` field for new sockets, so negative writes wrap to large values. With `tcp_mtu_probing=2`, the wrapped value can overflow the `tcp_mtu_probe()` size calculation and drive the MTU probing path into an out-of-bounds read. Route `tcp_reordering` writes through `proc_dointvec_minmax()` and require it to be at least 1. Also require `tcp_max_reordering` to be at least 1 so the configured maximum cannot become negative either. When registering the table for a non-init network namespace, relocate `extra2` pointers that refer into `init_net.ipv4` so the `tcp_reordering` upper bound follows that namespace's `tcp_max_reordering`. Harden `tcp_mtu_probe()` itself by computing `size_needed` as `u64`. This keeps the send queue and window checks from being bypassed through signed integer overflow.

[NET] CORE: Introducing new memory accounting interface. This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions for stream protocols. At the same time, some stream memory accounting functions are removed since other functions do same thing. Renaming: sk_stream_free_skb() -> sk_wmem_free_skb() __sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> __sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_schedule -> __sk_mem_schedule() sk_stream_pages() -> sk_mem_pages() sk_stream_rmem_schedule() -> sk_rmem_schedule() sk_stream_wmem_schedule() -> sk_wmem_schedule() sk_charge_skb() -> sk_mem_charge() Removeing sk_stream_rfree(): consolidates into sock_rfree() sk_stream_set_owner_r(): consolidates into skb_set_owner_r() sk_stream_mem_schedule() The following functions are added. sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge() In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is removed from sk_mem_charge(). Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call. Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface in TCP and SCTP.

net/tls: prevent skb_orphan() from leaking TLS plain text with offload sk_validate_xmit_skb() and drivers depend on the sk member of struct sk_buff to identify segments requiring encryption. Any operation which removes or does not preserve the original TLS socket such as skb_orphan() or skb_clone() will cause clear text leaks. Make the TCP socket underlying an offloaded TLS connection mark all skbs as decrypted, if TLS TX is in offload mode. Then in sk_validate_xmit_skb() catch skbs which have no socket (or a socket with no validation) and decrypted flag set. Note that CONFIG_SOCK_VALIDATE_XMIT, CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE and sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb are slightly interchangeable right now, they all imply TLS offload. The new checks are guarded by CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE because that's the option guarding the sk_buff->decrypted member. Second, smaller issue with orphaning is that it breaks the guarantee that packets will be delivered to device queues in-order. All TLS offload drivers depend on that scheduling property. This means skb_orphan_partial()'s trick of preserving partial socket references will cause issues in the drivers. We need a full orphan, and as a result netem delay/throttling will cause all TLS offload skbs to be dropped. Reusing the sk_buff->decrypted flag also protects from leaking clear text when incoming, decrypted skb is redirected (e.g. by TC). See commit 0608c69c9a80 ("bpf: sk_msg, sock{map|hash} redirect through ULP") for justification why the internal flag is safe. The only location which could leak the flag in is tcp_bpf_sendmsg(), which is taken care of by clearing the previously unused bit. v2: - remove superfluous decrypted mark copy (Willem); - remove the stale doc entry (Boris); - rely entirely on EOR marking to prevent coalescing (Boris); - use an internal sendpages flag instead of marking the socket (Boris). v3 (Willem): - reorganize the can_skb_orphan_partial() condition; - fix the flag leak-in through tcp_bpf_sendmsg.

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. Taking care of these headers would add additional complexity for no practical differences in behavior. Some performance numbers using 800 TCP_STREAM flows rate limited to ~48 Mbit per second on 40Gbit NIC.

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.

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: try to send bigger TSO packets While investigating TCP performance, I found that TCP would sometimes send big skbs followed by a single MSS skb, in a 'locked' pattern. For instance, BIG TCP is enabled, MSS is set to have 4096 bytes of payload per segment. gso_max_size is set to 181000. This means that an optimal TCP packet size should contain 44 * 4096 = 180224 bytes of payload, However, I was seeing packets sizes interleaved in this pattern: 172032, 8192, 172032, 8192, 172032, 8192, <repeat> tcp_tso_should_defer() heuristic is defeated, because after a split of a packet in write queue for whatever reason (this might be a too small CWND or a small enough pacing_rate), the leftover packet in the queue is smaller than the optimal size.

tcp: Tail loss probe (TLP) This patch series implement the Tail loss probe (TLP) algorithm described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01. The first patch implements the basic algorithm. TLP's goal is to reduce tail latency of short transactions. It achieves this by converting retransmission timeouts (RTOs) occuring due to tail losses (losses at end of transactions) into fast recovery. TLP transmits one packet in two round-trips when a connection is in Open state and isn't receiving any ACKs. The transmitted packet, aka loss probe, can be either new or a retransmission. When there is tail loss, the ACK from a loss probe triggers FACK/early-retransmit based fast recovery, thus avoiding a costly RTO. In the absence of loss, there is no change in the connection state. PTO stands for probe timeout. It is a timer event indicating that an ACK is overdue and triggers a loss probe packet. The PTO value is set to max(2*SRTT, 10ms) and is adjusted to account for delayed ACK timer when there is only one oustanding packet. TLP Algorithm On transmission of new data in Open state: -> packets_out > 1: schedule PTO in max(2*SRTT, 10ms). -> packets_out == 1: schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms) -> PTO = min(PTO, RTO) Conditions for scheduling PTO: -> Connection is in Open state. -> Connection is either cwnd limited or no new data to send. -> Number of probes per tail loss episode is limited to one. -> Connection is SACK enabled. When PTO fires: new_segment_exists: -> transmit new segment. -> packets_out++. cwnd remains same. no_new_packet: -> retransmit the last segment. Its ACK triggers FACK or early retransmit based recovery. ACK path: -> rearm RTO at start of ACK processing. -> reschedule PTO if need be. In addition, the patch includes a small variation to the Early Retransmit (ER) algorithm, such that ER and TLP together can in principle recover any N-degree of tail loss through fast recovery. TLP is controlled by the same sysctl as ER, tcp_early_retrans sysctl. tcp_early_retrans==0; disables TLP and ER. ==1; enables RFC5827 ER. ==2; delayed ER. ==3; TLP and delayed ER. [DEFAULT] ==4; TLP only. The TLP patch series have been extensively tested on Google Web servers. It is most effective for short Web trasactions, where it reduced RTOs by 15% and improved HTTP response time (average by 6%, 99th percentile by 10%). The transmitted probes account for <0.5% of the overall transmissions.

tcp: accecn: AccECN option send control Instead of sending the option in every ACK, limit sending to those ACKs where the option is necessary: - Handshake - "Change-triggered ACK" + the ACK following it. The 2nd ACK is necessary to unambiguously indicate which of the ECN byte counters in increasing. 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. The check is done using the bit edges of the byte counters (avoids need for extra variables). - AccECN option beacon to send a few times per RTT even if nothing in the ECN state requires that. The default is 3 times per RTT, and its period can be set via sysctl_tcp_ecn_option_beacon.

net: Add skb->mono_delivery_time to distinguish mono delivery_time from (rcv) timestamp skb->tstamp was first used as the (rcv) timestamp. The major usage is to report it to the user (e.g. SO_TIMESTAMP). Later, skb->tstamp is also set as the (future) delivery_time (e.g. EDT in TCP) during egress and used by the qdisc (e.g. sch_fq) to make decision on when the skb can be passed to the dev. Currently, there is no way to tell skb->tstamp having the (rcv) timestamp or the delivery_time, so it is always reset to 0 whenever forwarded between egress and ingress. While it makes sense to always clear the (rcv) timestamp in skb->tstamp to avoid confusing sch_fq that expects the delivery_time, it is a performance issue [0] to clear the delivery_time if the skb finally egress to a fq@phy-dev. For example, when forwarding from egress to ingress and then finally back to egress: tcp-sender => veth@netns => veth@hostns => fq@eth0@hostns ^ ^ reset rest This patch adds one bit skb->mono_delivery_time to flag the skb->tstamp is storing the mono delivery_time (EDT) instead of the (rcv) timestamp. The current use case is to keep the TCP mono delivery_time (EDT) and to be used with sch_fq. A latter patch will also allow tc-bpf@ingress to read and change the mono delivery_time. In the future, another bit (e.g. skb->user_delivery_time) can be added for the SCM_TXTIME where the clock base is tracked by sk->sk_clockid. [ This patch is a prep work. The following patches will get the other parts of the stack ready first. Then another patch after that will finally set the skb->mono_delivery_time. ] skb_set_delivery_time() function is added. It is used by the tcp_output.c and during ip[6] fragmentation to assign the delivery_time to the skb->tstamp and also set the skb->mono_delivery_time. A note on the change in ip_send_unicast_reply() in ip_output.c. It is only used by TCP to send reset/ack out of a ctl_sk. Like the new skb_set_delivery_time(), this patch sets the skb->mono_delivery_time to 0 for now as a place holder. It will be enabled in a latter patch.

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. Taking care of these headers would add additional complexity for no practical differences in behavior. Some performance numbers using 800 TCP_STREAM flows rate limited to ~48 Mbit per second on 40Gbit NIC.

tcp: Tail loss probe (TLP) This patch series implement the Tail loss probe (TLP) algorithm described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01. The first patch implements the basic algorithm. TLP's goal is to reduce tail latency of short transactions. It achieves this by converting retransmission timeouts (RTOs) occuring due to tail losses (losses at end of transactions) into fast recovery. TLP transmits one packet in two round-trips when a connection is in Open state and isn't receiving any ACKs. The transmitted packet, aka loss probe, can be either new or a retransmission. When there is tail loss, the ACK from a loss probe triggers FACK/early-retransmit based fast recovery, thus avoiding a costly RTO. In the absence of loss, there is no change in the connection state. PTO stands for probe timeout. It is a timer event indicating that an ACK is overdue and triggers a loss probe packet. The PTO value is set to max(2*SRTT, 10ms) and is adjusted to account for delayed ACK timer when there is only one oustanding packet. TLP Algorithm On transmission of new data in Open state: -> packets_out > 1: schedule PTO in max(2*SRTT, 10ms). -> packets_out == 1: schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms) -> PTO = min(PTO, RTO) Conditions for scheduling PTO: -> Connection is in Open state. -> Connection is either cwnd limited or no new data to send. -> Number of probes per tail loss episode is limited to one. -> Connection is SACK enabled. When PTO fires: new_segment_exists: -> transmit new segment. -> packets_out++. cwnd remains same. no_new_packet: -> retransmit the last segment. Its ACK triggers FACK or early retransmit based recovery. ACK path: -> rearm RTO at start of ACK processing. -> reschedule PTO if need be. In addition, the patch includes a small variation to the Early Retransmit (ER) algorithm, such that ER and TLP together can in principle recover any N-degree of tail loss through fast recovery. TLP is controlled by the same sysctl as ER, tcp_early_retrans sysctl. tcp_early_retrans==0; disables TLP and ER. ==1; enables RFC5827 ER. ==2; delayed ER. ==3; TLP and delayed ER. [DEFAULT] ==4; TLP only. The TLP patch series have been extensively tested on Google Web servers. It is most effective for short Web trasactions, where it reduced RTOs by 15% and improved HTTP response time (average by 6%, 99th percentile by 10%). The transmitted probes account for <0.5% of the overall transmissions.

tcp: try to send bigger TSO packets While investigating TCP performance, I found that TCP would sometimes send big skbs followed by a single MSS skb, in a 'locked' pattern. For instance, BIG TCP is enabled, MSS is set to have 4096 bytes of payload per segment. gso_max_size is set to 181000. This means that an optimal TCP packet size should contain 44 * 4096 = 180224 bytes of payload, However, I was seeing packets sizes interleaved in this pattern: 172032, 8192, 172032, 8192, 172032, 8192, <repeat> tcp_tso_should_defer() heuristic is defeated, because after a split of a packet in write queue for whatever reason (this might be a too small CWND or a small enough pacing_rate), the leftover packet in the queue is smaller than the optimal size. It is time to try to make 'leftover packets' bigger so that tcp_tso_should_defer() can give its full potential. After this patch, we can see the following output: 14:13:34.009273 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4048380:4098360, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678144 ecr 1561784500], length 49980 14:13:34.010272 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4098360:4148340, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678145 ecr 1561784501], length 49980 14:13:34.011271 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4148340:4198320, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678146 ecr 1561784502], length 49980 14:13:34.012271 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4198320:4248300, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678147 ecr 1561784503], length 49980 14:13:34.013272 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4248300:4298280, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678148 ecr 1561784504], length 49980 14:13:34.014271 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4298280:4348260, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678149 ecr 1561784505], length 49980 14:13:34.015272 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4348260:4398240, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678150 ecr 1561784506], length 49980 14:13:34.016270 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4398240:4448220, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678151 ecr 1561784507], length 49980 14:13:34.017269 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4448220:4498200, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678152 ecr 1561784508], length 49980 14:13:34.018276 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4498200:4548180, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678153 ecr 1561784509], length 49980 14:13:34.019259 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4548180:4598160, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678154 ecr 1561784510], length 49980 With 200 concurrent flows on a 100Gbit NIC, we can see a reduction of TSO packets (and ACK packets) of about 30 %.

tcp: refine TSO autosizing Commit 95bd09eb2750 ("tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing") tried to control TSO size, but did this at the wrong place (sendmsg() time) At sendmsg() time, we might have a pessimistic view of flow rate, and we end up building very small skbs (with 2 MSS per skb). This is bad because : - It sends small TSO packets even in Slow Start where rate quickly increases. - It tends to make socket write queue very big, increasing tcp_ack() processing time, but also increasing memory needs, not necessarily accounted for, as fast clones overhead is currently ignored. - Lower GRO efficiency and more ACK packets. Servers with a lot of small lived connections suffer from this. Lets instead fill skbs as much as possible (64KB of payload), but split them at xmit time, when we have a precise idea of the flow rate. skb split is actually quite efficient. Patch looks bigger than necessary, because TCP Small Queue decision now has to take place after the eventual split. As Neal suggested, introduce a new tcp_tso_autosize() helper, so that tcp_tso_should_defer() can be synchronized on same goal. Rename tp->xmit_size_goal_segs to tp->gso_segs, as this variable contains number of mss that we can put in GSO packet, and is not related to the autosizing goal anymore.

This is bad because : - It sends small TSO packets even in Slow Start where rate quickly increases. - It tends to make socket write queue very big, increasing tcp_ack() processing time, but also increasing memory needs, not necessarily accounted for, as fast clones overhead is currently ignored. - Lower GRO efficiency and more ACK packets. Servers with a lot of small lived connections suffer from this. Lets instead fill skbs as much as possible (64KB of payload), but split them at xmit time, when we have a precise idea of the flow rate. skb split is actually quite efficient. Patch looks bigger than necessary, because TCP Small Queue decision now has to take place after the eventual split. As Neal suggested, introduce a new tcp_tso_autosize() helper, so that tcp_tso_should_defer() can be synchronized on same goal. Rename tp->xmit_size_goal_segs to tp->gso_segs, as this variable contains number of mss that we can put in GSO packet, and is not related to the autosizing goal anymore.

tcp: try to send bigger TSO packets While investigating TCP performance, I found that TCP would sometimes send big skbs followed by a single MSS skb, in a 'locked' pattern. For instance, BIG TCP is enabled, MSS is set to have 4096 bytes of payload per segment. gso_max_size is set to 181000. This means that an optimal TCP packet size should contain 44 * 4096 = 180224 bytes of payload, However, I was seeing packets sizes interleaved in this pattern: 172032, 8192, 172032, 8192, 172032, 8192, <repeat> tcp_tso_should_defer() heuristic is defeated, because after a split of a packet in write queue for whatever reason (this might be a too small CWND or a small enough pacing_rate), the leftover packet in the queue is smaller than the optimal size. It is time to try to make 'leftover packets' bigger so that tcp_tso_should_defer() can give its full potential. After this patch, we can see the following output: 14:13:34.009273 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4048380:4098360, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678144 ecr 1561784500], length 49980 14:13:34.010272 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4098360:4148340, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678145 ecr 1561784501], length 49980 14:13:34.011271 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4148340:4198320, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678146 ecr 1561784502], length 49980 14:13:34.012271 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4198320:4248300, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678147 ecr 1561784503], length 49980 14:13:34.013272 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4248300:4298280, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678148 ecr 1561784504], length 49980 14:13:34.014271 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4298280:4348260, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678149 ecr 1561784505], length 49980 14:13:34.015272 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4348260:4398240, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678150 ecr 1561784506], length 49980 14:13:34.016270 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4398240:4448220, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678151 ecr 1561784507], length 49980 14:13:34.017269 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4448220:4498200, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678152 ecr 1561784508], length 49980 14:13:34.018276 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4498200:4548180, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678153 ecr 1561784509], length 49980 14:13:34.019259 IP6 sender > receiver: Flags [P.], seq 4548180:4598160, ack 1, win 256, options [nop,nop,TS val 3425678154 ecr 1561784510], length 49980 With 200 concurrent flows on a 100Gbit NIC, we can see a reduction of TSO packets (and ACK packets) of about 30 %.

tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit When TCP Small Queues was added, we used a sysctl to limit amount of packets queues on Qdisc/device queues for a given TCP flow. Problem is this limit is either too big for low rates, or too small for high rates. Now TCP stack has rate estimation in sk->sk_pacing_rate, and TSO auto sizing, it can better control number of packets in Qdisc/device queues. New limit is two packets or at least 1 to 2 ms worth of packets. Low rates flows benefit from this patch by having even smaller number of packets in queues, allowing for faster recovery, better RTT estimations. High rates flows benefit from this patch by allowing more than 2 packets in flight as we had reports this was a limiting factor to reach line rate.

Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP. This patch implements Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) for TCP. PRR is an algorithm that determines TCP's sending rate in fast recovery. PRR avoids excessive window reductions and aims for the actual congestion window size at the end of recovery to be as close as possible to the window determined by the congestion control algorithm. PRR also improves accuracy of the amount of data sent during loss recovery. The patch implements the recommended flavor of PRR called PRR-SSRB (Proportional rate reduction with slow start reduction bound) and replaces the existing rate halving algorithm. PRR improves upon the existing Linux fast recovery under a number of conditions including: 1) burst losses where the losses implicitly reduce the amount of outstanding data (pipe) below the ssthresh value selected by the congestion control algorithm and, 2) losses near the end of short flows where application runs out of data to send. As an example, with the existing rate halving implementation a single loss event can cause a connection carrying short Web transactions to go into the slow start mode after the recovery. This is because during recovery Linux pulls the congestion window down to packets_in_flight+1 on every ACK. A short Web response often runs out of new data to send and its pipe reduces to zero by the end of recovery when all its packets are drained from the network. Subsequent HTTP responses using the same connection will have to slow start to raise cwnd to ssthresh. PRR on the other hand aims for the cwnd to be as close as possible to ssthresh by the end of recovery. A description of PRR and a discussion of its performance can be found at the following links: - IETF Draft: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mathis-tcpm-proportional-rate-reduction-01 - IETF Slides: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/80/slides/tcpm-6.pdf http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/81/slides/tcpm-2.pdf - Paper to appear in Internet Measurements Conference (IMC) 2011: Improving TCP Loss Recovery Nandita Dukkipati, Matt Mathis, Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: fix cwnd-limited bug for TSO deferral where we send nothing When cwnd is not a multiple of the TSO skb size of N*MSS, we can get into persistent scenarios where we have the following sequence: (1) ACK for full-sized skb of N*MSS arrives -> tcp_write_xmit() transmit full-sized skb with N*MSS -> move pacing release time forward -> exit tcp_write_xmit() because pacing time is in the future (2) TSQ callback or TCP internal pacing timer fires -> try to transmit next skb, but TSO deferral finds remainder of available cwnd is not big enough to trigger an immediate send now, so we defer sending until the next ACK. (3) repeat... So we can get into a case where we never mark ourselves as cwnd-limited for many seconds at a time, even with bulk/infinite-backlog senders, because: o In case (1) above, every time in tcp_write_xmit() we have enough cwnd to send a full-sized skb, we are not fully using the cwnd (because cwnd is not a multiple of the TSO skb size). So every time we send data, we are not cwnd limited, and so in the cwnd-limited tracking code in tcp_cwnd_validate() we mark ourselves as not cwnd-limited. o In case (2) above, every time in tcp_write_xmit() that we try to transmit the "remainder" of the cwnd but defer, we set the local variable is_cwnd_limited to true, but we do not send any packets, so sent_pkts is zero, so we don't call the cwnd-limited logic to update tp->is_cwnd_limited.

tcp: Tail loss probe (TLP) This patch series implement the Tail loss probe (TLP) algorithm described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01. The first patch implements the basic algorithm. TLP's goal is to reduce tail latency of short transactions. It achieves this by converting retransmission timeouts (RTOs) occuring due to tail losses (losses at end of transactions) into fast recovery. TLP transmits one packet in two round-trips when a connection is in Open state and isn't receiving any ACKs. The transmitted packet, aka loss probe, can be either new or a retransmission. When there is tail loss, the ACK from a loss probe triggers FACK/early-retransmit based fast recovery, thus avoiding a costly RTO. In the absence of loss, there is no change in the connection state. PTO stands for probe timeout. It is a timer event indicating that an ACK is overdue and triggers a loss probe packet. The PTO value is set to max(2*SRTT, 10ms) and is adjusted to account for delayed ACK timer when there is only one oustanding packet. TLP Algorithm On transmission of new data in Open state: -> packets_out > 1: schedule PTO in max(2*SRTT, 10ms). -> packets_out == 1: schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms) -> PTO = min(PTO, RTO) Conditions for scheduling PTO: -> Connection is in Open state. -> Connection is either cwnd limited or no new data to send. -> Number of probes per tail loss episode is limited to one. -> Connection is SACK enabled. When PTO fires: new_segment_exists: -> transmit new segment. -> packets_out++. cwnd remains same. no_new_packet: -> retransmit the last segment. Its ACK triggers FACK or early retransmit based recovery. ACK path: -> rearm RTO at start of ACK processing. -> reschedule PTO if need be. In addition, the patch includes a small variation to the Early Retransmit (ER) algorithm, such that ER and TLP together can in principle recover any N-degree of tail loss through fast recovery. TLP is controlled by the same sysctl as ER, tcp_early_retrans sysctl. tcp_early_retrans==0; disables TLP and ER. ==1; enables RFC5827 ER. ==2; delayed ER. ==3; TLP and delayed ER. [DEFAULT] ==4; TLP only. The TLP patch series have been extensively tested on Google Web servers. It is most effective for short Web trasactions, where it reduced RTOs by 15% and improved HTTP response time (average by 6%, 99th percentile by 10%). The transmitted probes account for <0.5% of the overall transmissions.

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: 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: Tail loss probe (TLP) This patch series implement the Tail loss probe (TLP) algorithm described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01. The first patch implements the basic algorithm. TLP's goal is to reduce tail latency of short transactions. It achieves this by converting retransmission timeouts (RTOs) occuring due to tail losses (losses at end of transactions) into fast recovery. TLP transmits one packet in two round-trips when a connection is in Open state and isn't receiving any ACKs. The transmitted packet, aka loss probe, can be either new or a retransmission. When there is tail loss, the ACK from a loss probe triggers FACK/early-retransmit based fast recovery, thus avoiding a costly RTO. In the absence of loss, there is no change in the connection state. PTO stands for probe timeout. It is a timer event indicating that an ACK is overdue and triggers a loss probe packet. The PTO value is set to max(2*SRTT, 10ms) and is adjusted to account for delayed ACK timer when there is only one oustanding packet. TLP Algorithm On transmission of new data in Open state: -> packets_out > 1: schedule PTO in max(2*SRTT, 10ms). -> packets_out == 1: schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms) -> PTO = min(PTO, RTO) Conditions for scheduling PTO: -> Connection is in Open state. -> Connection is either cwnd limited or no new data to send. -> Number of probes per tail loss episode is limited to one. -> Connection is SACK enabled. When PTO fires: new_segment_exists: -> transmit new segment. -> packets_out++. cwnd remains same. no_new_packet: -> retransmit the last segment. Its ACK triggers FACK or early retransmit based recovery. ACK path: -> rearm RTO at start of ACK processing. -> reschedule PTO if need be. In addition, the patch includes a small variation to the Early Retransmit (ER) algorithm, such that ER and TLP together can in principle recover any N-degree of tail loss through fast recovery.

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: allow TLP in ECN CWR This patch enables tail loss probe in cwnd reduction (CWR) state to detect potential losses. Prior to this patch, since the sender uses PRR to determine the cwnd in CWR state, the combination of CWR+PRR plus tcp_tso_should_defer() could cause unnecessary stalls upon losses: PRR makes cwnd so gentle that tcp_tso_should_defer() defers sending wait for more ACKs. The ACKs may not come due to packet losses. Disallowing TLP when there is unused cwnd had the primary effect of disallowing TLP when there is TSO deferral, Nagle deferral, or we hit the rwin limit. Because basically every application write() or incoming ACK will cause us to run tcp_write_xmit() to see if we can send more, and then if we sent something we call tcp_schedule_loss_probe() to see if we should schedule a TLP. At that point, there are a few common reasons why some cwnd budget could still be unused: (a) rwin limit (b) nagle check (c) TSO deferral (d) TSQ For (d), after the next packet tx completion the TSQ mechanism will allow us to send more packets, so we don't really need a TLP (in practice it shouldn't matter whether we schedule one or not). But for (a), (b), (c) the sender won't send any more packets until it gets another ACK. But if the whole flight was lost, or all the ACKs were lost, then we won't get any more ACKs, and ideally we should schedule and send a TLP to get more feedback.

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: Tail loss probe (TLP) This patch series implement the Tail loss probe (TLP) algorithm described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01. The first patch implements the basic algorithm. TLP's goal is to reduce tail latency of short transactions. It achieves this by converting retransmission timeouts (RTOs) occuring due to tail losses (losses at end of transactions) into fast recovery. TLP transmits one packet in two round-trips when a connection is in Open state and isn't receiving any ACKs. The transmitted packet, aka loss probe, can be either new or a retransmission. When there is tail loss, the ACK from a loss probe triggers FACK/early-retransmit based fast recovery, thus avoiding a costly RTO. In the absence of loss, there is no change in the connection state. PTO stands for probe timeout. It is a timer event indicating that an ACK is overdue and triggers a loss probe packet. The PTO value is set to max(2*SRTT, 10ms) and is adjusted to account for delayed ACK timer when there is only one oustanding packet. TLP Algorithm On transmission of new data in Open state: -> packets_out > 1: schedule PTO in max(2*SRTT, 10ms). -> packets_out == 1: schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms) -> PTO = min(PTO, RTO) Conditions for scheduling PTO: -> Connection is in Open state. -> Connection is either cwnd limited or no new data to send. -> Number of probes per tail loss episode is limited to one. -> Connection is SACK enabled. When PTO fires: new_segment_exists: -> transmit new segment. -> packets_out++. cwnd remains same. no_new_packet: -> retransmit the last segment. Its ACK triggers FACK or early retransmit based recovery. ACK path: -> rearm RTO at start of ACK processing. -> reschedule PTO if need be. In addition, the patch includes a small variation to the Early Retransmit (ER) algorithm, such that ER and TLP together can in principle recover any N-degree of tail loss through fast recovery. TLP is controlled by the same sysctl as ER, tcp_early_retrans sysctl. tcp_early_retrans==0; disables TLP and ER. ==1; enables RFC5827 ER. ==2; delayed ER. ==3; TLP and delayed ER.

It is most effective for short Web trasactions, where it reduced RTOs by 15% and improved HTTP response time (average by 6%, 99th percentile by 10%).

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: 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: Tail loss probe (TLP) This patch series implement the Tail loss probe (TLP) algorithm described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01. The first patch implements the basic algorithm. TLP's goal is to reduce tail latency of short transactions. It achieves this by converting retransmission timeouts (RTOs) occuring due to tail losses (losses at end of transactions) into fast recovery. TLP transmits one packet in two round-trips when a connection is in Open state and isn't receiving any ACKs. The transmitted packet, aka loss probe, can be either new or a retransmission. When there is tail loss, the ACK from a loss probe triggers FACK/early-retransmit based fast recovery, thus avoiding a costly RTO. In the absence of loss, there is no change in the connection state. PTO stands for probe timeout. It is a timer event indicating that an ACK is overdue and triggers a loss probe packet. The PTO value is set to max(2*SRTT, 10ms) and is adjusted to account for delayed ACK timer when there is only one oustanding packet. TLP Algorithm On transmission of new data in Open state: -> packets_out > 1: schedule PTO in max(2*SRTT, 10ms). -> packets_out == 1: schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms) -> PTO = min(PTO, RTO) Conditions for scheduling PTO: -> Connection is in Open state. -> Connection is either cwnd limited or no new data to send. -> Number of probes per tail loss episode is limited to one. -> Connection is SACK enabled.

Its ACK triggers FACK or early retransmit based recovery. ACK path: -> rearm RTO at start of ACK processing. -> reschedule PTO if need be. In addition, the patch includes a small variation to the Early Retransmit (ER) algorithm, such that ER and TLP together can in principle recover any N-degree of tail loss through fast recovery.

tcp: enforce receive buffer memory limits by allowing the tcp window to shrink Under certain circumstances, the tcp receive buffer memory limit set by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf) is increased due to incoming data packets as a result of the window not closing when it should be. This can result in the receive buffer growing all the way up to tcp_rmem[2], even for tcp sessions with a low BDP. To reproduce: Connect a TCP session with the receiver doing nothing and the sender sending small packets (an infinite loop of socket send() with 4 bytes of payload with a sleep of 1 ms in between each send()). This will cause the tcp receive buffer to grow all the way up to tcp_rmem[2]. As a result, a host can have individual tcp sessions with receive buffers of size tcp_rmem[2], and the host itself can reach tcp_mem limits, causing the host to go into tcp memory pressure mode. The fundamental issue is the relationship between the granularity of the window scaling factor and the number of byte ACKed back to the sender. This problem has previously been identified in RFC 7323, appendix F [1]. The Linux kernel currently adheres to never shrinking the window. In addition to the overallocation of memory mentioned above, the current behavior is functionally incorrect, because once tcp_rmem[2] is reached when no remediations remain (i.e. tcp collapse fails to free up any more memory and there are no packets to prune from the out-of-order queue), the receiver will drop in-window packets resulting in retransmissions and an eventual timeout of the tcp session. A receive buffer full condition should instead result in a zero window and an indefinite wait. In practice, this problem is largely hidden for most flows. It is not applicable to mice flows. Elephant flows can send data fast enough to "overrun" the sk_rcvbuf limit (in a single ACK), triggering a zero window. But this problem does show up for other types of flows. Examples are websockets and other type of flows that send small amounts of data spaced apart slightly in time. In these cases, we directly encounter the problem described in [1]. RFC 7323, section 2.4 [2], says there are instances when a retracted window can be offered, and that TCP implementations MUST ensure that they handle a shrinking window, as specified in RFC 1122, section 4.2.2.16 [3]. All prior RFCs on the topic of tcp window management have made clear that sender must accept a shrunk window from the receiver, including RFC 793 [4] and RFC 1323 [5]. This patch implements the functionality to shrink the tcp window when necessary to keep the right edge within the memory limit by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf). This new functionality is enabled with the new sysctl: net.ipv4.tcp_shrink_window Additional information can be found at: https://blog.cloudflare.com/unbounded-memory-usage-by-tcp-for-receive-buffers-and-how-we-fixed-it/ [1] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7323#appendix-F [2] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7323#section-2.4 [3] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1122#page-91 [4] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc793 [5] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1323 Signed-off-by: Mike Freemon <mfreemon@cloudflare.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: use zero-window when free_space is low Currently the kernel tries to announce a zero window when free_space is below the current receiver mss estimate. When a sender is transmitting small packets and reader consumes data slowly (or not at all), receiver might be unable to shrink the receive win because a) we cannot withdraw already-commited receive window, and, b) we have to round the current rwin up to a multiple of the wscale factor, else we would shrink the current window. This causes the receive buffer to fill up until the rmem limit is hit. When this happens, we start dropping packets. Moreover, tcp_clamp_window may continue to grow sk_rcvbuf towards rmem[2] even if socket is not being read from.

tcp: enforce receive buffer memory limits by allowing the tcp window to shrink Under certain circumstances, the tcp receive buffer memory limit set by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf) is increased due to incoming data packets as a result of the window not closing when it should be. This can result in the receive buffer growing all the way up to tcp_rmem[2], even for tcp sessions with a low BDP. To reproduce: Connect a TCP session with the receiver doing nothing and the sender sending small packets (an infinite loop of socket send() with 4 bytes of payload with a sleep of 1 ms in between each send()). This will cause the tcp receive buffer to grow all the way up to tcp_rmem[2]. As a result, a host can have individual tcp sessions with receive buffers of size tcp_rmem[2], and the host itself can reach tcp_mem limits, causing the host to go into tcp memory pressure mode. The fundamental issue is the relationship between the granularity of the window scaling factor and the number of byte ACKed back to the sender. This problem has previously been identified in RFC 7323, appendix F [1]. The Linux kernel currently adheres to never shrinking the window. In addition to the overallocation of memory mentioned above, the current behavior is functionally incorrect, because once tcp_rmem[2] is reached when no remediations remain (i.e. tcp collapse fails to free up any more memory and there are no packets to prune from the out-of-order queue), the receiver will drop in-window packets resulting in retransmissions and an eventual timeout of the tcp session. A receive buffer full condition should instead result in a zero window and an indefinite wait. In practice, this problem is largely hidden for most flows. It is not applicable to mice flows. Elephant flows can send data fast enough to "overrun" the sk_rcvbuf limit (in a single ACK), triggering a zero window. But this problem does show up for other types of flows. Examples are websockets and other type of flows that send small amounts of data spaced apart slightly in time. In these cases, we directly encounter the problem described in [1]. RFC 7323, section 2.4 [2], says there are instances when a retracted window can be offered, and that TCP implementations MUST ensure that they handle a shrinking window, as specified in RFC 1122, section 4.2.2.16 [3]. All prior RFCs on the topic of tcp window management have made clear that sender must accept a shrunk window from the receiver, including RFC 793 [4] and RFC 1323 [5]. This patch implements the functionality to shrink the tcp window when necessary to keep the right edge within the memory limit by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf). This new functionality is enabled with the new sysctl: net.ipv4.tcp_shrink_window Additional information can be found at: https://blog.cloudflare.com/unbounded-memory-usage-by-tcp-for-receive-buffers-and-how-we-fixed-it/ [1] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7323#appendix-F [2] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7323#section-2.4 [3] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1122#page-91 [4] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc793 [5] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1323 Signed-off-by: Mike Freemon <mfreemon@cloudflare.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: use zero-window when free_space is low Currently the kernel tries to announce a zero window when free_space is below the current receiver mss estimate. When a sender is transmitting small packets and reader consumes data slowly (or not at all), receiver might be unable to shrink the receive win because a) we cannot withdraw already-commited receive window, and, b) we have to round the current rwin up to a multiple of the wscale factor, else we would shrink the current window. This causes the receive buffer to fill up until the rmem limit is hit. When this happens, we start dropping packets. Moreover, tcp_clamp_window may continue to grow sk_rcvbuf towards rmem[2] even if socket is not being read from. As we cannot avoid the "current_win is rounded up to multiple of mss" issue [we would violate a) above] at least try to prevent the receive buf growth towards tcp_rmem[2] limit by attempting to move to zero-window announcement when free_space becomes less than 1/16 of the current allowed receive buffer maximum. If tcp_rmem[2] is large, this will increase our chances to get a zero-window announcement out in time.

tcp: collapse more than two on retransmission I always had thought that collapsing up to two at a time was intentional decision to avoid excessive processing if 1 byte sized skbs are to be combined for a full mtu, and consecutive retransmissions would make the size of the retransmittee double each round anyway, but some recent discussion made me to understand that was not the case. Thus make collapse work more and wait less. It would be possible to take advantage of the shifting machinery (added in the later patch) in the case of paged data but that can be implemented on top of this change. tcp_skb_is_last check is now provided by the loop. I tested a bit (ss-after-idle-off, fill 4096x4096B xfer, 10s sleep + 4096 x 1byte writes while dropping them for some a while with netem): . 16774097:16775545(1448) ack 1 win 46 . 16775545:16776993(1448) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16759617 win 2399 P 16776993:16777217(224) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16762513 win 2399 . ack 16765409 win 2399 . ack 16768305 win 2399 . ack 16771201 win 2399 . ack 16774097 win 2399 . ack 16776993 win 2399 . ack 16777217 win 2399 P 16777217:16777257(40) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16777257 win 2399 P 16777257:16778705(1448) ack 1 win 46 P 16778705:16780153(1448) ack 1 win 46 FP 16780153:16781313(1160) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16778705 win 2399 . ack 16780153 win 2399 F 1:1(0) ack 16781314 win 2399 While without drop-all period I get this: . 16773585:16775033(1448) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16764897 win 9367 . ack 16767793 win 9367 . ack 16770689 win 9367 . ack 16773585 win 9367 . 16775033:16776481(1448) ack 1 win 46 P 16776481:16777217(736) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16776481 win 9367 . ack 16777217 win 9367 P 16777217:16777218(1) ack 1 win 46 P 16777218:16777219(1) ack 1 win 46 P 16777219:16777220(1) ack 1 win 46 ...

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.

Tested: Following packetdrill test now passes : 0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 +0 listen(3, 1) = 0 +0 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1460,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 8> +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 8> +.100 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 +0 setsockopt(4, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0 +0 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 1:201(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 201:401(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 401:601(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 601:801(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 801:1001(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1001:1101(100) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1101:1201(100) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1201:1301(100) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1301:1401(100) ack 1 +.099 < . 1:1(0) ack 201 win 257 +.001 < . 1:1(0) ack 201 win 257 <nop,nop,sack 1001:1401> +0 > P. 201:1001(800) ack 1 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: collapse more than two on retransmission I always had thought that collapsing up to two at a time was intentional decision to avoid excessive processing if 1 byte sized skbs are to be combined for a full mtu, and consecutive retransmissions would make the size of the retransmittee double each round anyway, but some recent discussion made me to understand that was not the case. Thus make collapse work more and wait less. It would be possible to take advantage of the shifting machinery (added in the later patch) in the case of paged data but that can be implemented on top of this change. tcp_skb_is_last check is now provided by the loop.

tcp: enhance tcp collapsing As Ilya Lesokhin suggested, we can collapse two skbs at retransmit time even if the skb at the right has fragments. We simply have to use more generic skb_copy_bits() instead of skb_copy_from_linear_data() in tcp_collapse_retrans() Also need to guard this skb_copy_bits() in case there is nothing to copy, otherwise skb_put() could panic if left skb has frags. Tested: Used following packetdrill test // Establish a connection. 0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 +0 listen(3, 1) = 0 +0 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1460,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 8> +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 8> +.100 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 +0 setsockopt(4, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0 +0 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 1:201(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 201:401(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 401:601(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 601:801(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 801:1001(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1001:1101(100) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1101:1201(100) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1201:1301(100) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1301:1401(100) ack 1 +.100 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,sack 1001:1401> // Check that TCP collapse works : +0 > P. 1:1001(1000) ack 1 Reported-by: Ilya Lesokhin <ilyal@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: collapse more than two on retransmission I always had thought that collapsing up to two at a time was intentional decision to avoid excessive processing if 1 byte sized skbs are to be combined for a full mtu, and consecutive retransmissions would make the size of the retransmittee double each round anyway, but some recent discussion made me to understand that was not the case. Thus make collapse work more and wait less.

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: collapse more than two on retransmission I always had thought that collapsing up to two at a time was intentional decision to avoid excessive processing if 1 byte sized skbs are to be combined for a full mtu, and consecutive retransmissions would make the size of the retransmittee double each round anyway, but some recent discussion made me to understand that was not the case. Thus make collapse work more and wait less. It would be possible to take advantage of the shifting machinery (added in the later patch) in the case of paged data but that can be implemented on top of this change. tcp_skb_is_last check is now provided by the loop.

tcp: enhance tcp_collapse_retrans() with skb_shift() In commit 2331ccc5b323 ("tcp: enhance tcp collapsing"), we made a first step allowing copying right skb to left skb head. Since all skbs in socket write queue are headless (but possibly the very first one), this strategy often does not work. This patch extends tcp_collapse_retrans() to perform frag shifting, thanks to skb_shift() helper. This helper needs to not BUG on non headless skbs, as callers are ok with that. Tested: Following packetdrill test now passes : 0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 +0 listen(3, 1) = 0 +0 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1460,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 8> +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 8> +.100 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 +0 setsockopt(4, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0 +0 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 1:201(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 201:401(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 401:601(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 601:801(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200 +0 > P. 801:1001(200) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1001:1101(100) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1101:1201(100) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1201:1301(100) ack 1 +.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100 +0 > P. 1301:1401(100) ack 1 +.099 < . 1:1(0) ack 201 win 257 +.001 < . 1:1(0) ack 201 win 257 <nop,nop,sack 1001:1401> +0 > P. 201:1001(800) ack 1 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: trace retransmit failures in tcp_retransmit_skb Background ========== When TCP retransmits a packet due to missing ACKs, the retransmission may fail for various reasons (e.g., packets stuck in driver queues, receiver zero windows, or routing issues). The original tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint: 'commit e086101b150a ("tcp: add a tracepoint for tcp retransmission")' lacks visibility into these failure causes, making production diagnostics difficult. Solution ======== Adds the retval("err") to the tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint. Enables users to know why some tcp retransmission failed and users can filter retransmission failures by retval. Compatibility description ========================= This patch extends the tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint by adding a new "err" field at the end of its existing structure (within TP_STRUCT__entry). The compatibility implications are detailed as follows: 1) Structural compatibility for legacy user-space tools Legacy tools/BPF programs accessing existing fields (by offset or name) can still work without modification or recompilation.The new field is appended to the end, preserving original memory layout. 2) Note: semantic changes The original tracepoint primarily only focused on successfully retransmitted packets. With this patch, the tracepoint now can figure out packets that may terminate early due to specific reasons. For accurate statistics, users should filter using "err" to distinguish outcomes.

tcp: trace retransmit failures in tcp_retransmit_skb Background ========== When TCP retransmits a packet due to missing ACKs, the retransmission may fail for various reasons (e.g., packets stuck in driver queues, receiver zero windows, or routing issues). The original tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint: 'commit e086101b150a ("tcp: add a tracepoint for tcp retransmission")' lacks visibility into these failure causes, making production diagnostics difficult. Solution ======== Adds the retval("err") to the tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint. Enables users to know why some tcp retransmission failed and users can filter retransmission failures by retval. Compatibility description ========================= This patch extends the tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint by adding a new "err" field at the end of its existing structure (within TP_STRUCT__entry). The compatibility implications are detailed as follows: 1) Structural compatibility for legacy user-space tools Legacy tools/BPF programs accessing existing fields (by offset or name) can still work without modification or recompilation.The new field is appended to the end, preserving original memory layout. 2) Note: semantic changes The original tracepoint primarily only focused on successfully retransmitted packets. With this patch, the tracepoint now can figure out packets that may terminate early due to specific reasons. For accurate statistics, users should filter using "err" to distinguish outcomes.

tcp: trace retransmit failures in tcp_retransmit_skb Background ========== When TCP retransmits a packet due to missing ACKs, the retransmission may fail for various reasons (e.g., packets stuck in driver queues, receiver zero windows, or routing issues). The original tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint: 'commit e086101b150a ("tcp: add a tracepoint for tcp retransmission")' lacks visibility into these failure causes, making production diagnostics difficult. Solution ======== Adds the retval("err") to the tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint. Enables users to know why some tcp retransmission failed and users can filter retransmission failures by retval. Compatibility description ========================= This patch extends the tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint by adding a new "err" field at the end of its existing structure (within TP_STRUCT__entry). The compatibility implications are detailed as follows: 1) Structural compatibility for legacy user-space tools Legacy tools/BPF programs accessing existing fields (by offset or name) can still work without modification or recompilation.The new field is appended to the end, preserving original memory layout. 2) Note: semantic changes The original tracepoint primarily only focused on successfully retransmitted packets. With this patch, the tracepoint now can figure out packets that may terminate early due to specific reasons. For accurate statistics, users should filter using "err" to distinguish outcomes.

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: 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. [...] Schematic client-side view when assuming the server is in tcp_ecn=2 mode, that is, Linux default since 2009 via commit 255cac91c3c9 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN"): 1) Normal ECN-capable path: SYN ECE CWR -----> <----- SYN ACK ECE ACK -----> 2) Path with broken middlebox, when client has fallback: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN -----> <----- SYN ACK ACK -----> In case we would not have the fallback implemented, the middlebox drop point would basically end up as: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) In any case, it's rather a smaller percentage of sites where there would occur such additional setup latency: it was found in end of 2014 that ~56% of IPv4 and 65% of IPv6 servers of Alexa 1 million list would negotiate ECN (aka tcp_ecn=2 default), 0.42% of these webservers will fail to connect when trying to negotiate with ECN (tcp_ecn=1) due to timeouts, which the fallback would mitigate with a slight latency trade-off. Recent related paper on this topic: Brian Trammell, Mirja Kühlewind, Damiano Boppart, Iain Learmonth, Gorry Fairhurst, and Richard Scheffenegger: "Enabling Internet-Wide Deployment of Explicit Congestion Notification." Proc. PAM 2015, New York. http://ecn.ethz.ch/ecn-pam15.pdf Thus, when net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=1 is being set, the patch will perform RFC3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallback on timeout. For users explicitly not wanting this which can be in DC use case, we add a net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback knob that allows for disabling the fallback. tp->ecn_flags are not being cleared in tcp_ecn_clear_syn() on output, but rather we let tcp_ecn_rcv_synack() take that over on input path in case a SYN ACK ECE was delayed. Thus a spurious SYN retransmission will not prevent ECN being negotiated eventually in that case.

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.

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.

Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP. This patch implements Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) for TCP. PRR is an algorithm that determines TCP's sending rate in fast recovery. PRR avoids excessive window reductions and aims for the actual congestion window size at the end of recovery to be as close as possible to the window determined by the congestion control algorithm. PRR also improves accuracy of the amount of data sent during loss recovery. The patch implements the recommended flavor of PRR called PRR-SSRB (Proportional rate reduction with slow start reduction bound) and replaces the existing rate halving algorithm. PRR improves upon the existing Linux fast recovery under a number of conditions including: 1) burst losses where the losses implicitly reduce the amount of outstanding data (pipe) below the ssthresh value selected by the congestion control algorithm and, 2) losses near the end of short flows where application runs out of data to send. As an example, with the existing rate halving implementation a single loss event can cause a connection carrying short Web transactions to go into the slow start mode after the recovery. This is because during recovery Linux pulls the congestion window down to packets_in_flight+1 on every ACK. A short Web response often runs out of new data to send and its pipe reduces to zero by the end of recovery when all its packets are drained from the network. Subsequent HTTP responses using the same connection will have to slow start to raise cwnd to ssthresh. PRR on the other hand aims for the cwnd to be as close as possible to ssthresh by the end of recovery. A description of PRR and a discussion of its performance can be found at the following links: - IETF Draft: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mathis-tcpm-proportional-rate-reduction-01 - IETF Slides: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/80/slides/tcpm-6.pdf http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/81/slides/tcpm-2.pdf - Paper to appear in Internet Measurements Conference (IMC) 2011: Improving TCP Loss Recovery Nandita Dukkipati, Matt Mathis, Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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: defer shutdown(SEND_SHUTDOWN) for TCP_SYN_RECV sockets TCP_SYN_RECV state is really special, it is only used by cross-syn connections, mostly used by fuzzers. In the following crash [1], syzbot managed to trigger a divide by zero in tcp_rcv_space_adjust() A socket makes the following state transitions, without ever calling tcp_init_transfer(), meaning tcp_init_buffer_space() is also not called. TCP_CLOSE connect() TCP_SYN_SENT TCP_SYN_RECV shutdown() -> tcp_shutdown(sk, SEND_SHUTDOWN) TCP_FIN_WAIT1 To fix this issue, change tcp_shutdown() to not perform a TCP_SYN_RECV -> TCP_FIN_WAIT1 transition, which makes no sense anyway. When tcp_rcv_state_process() later changes socket state from TCP_SYN_RECV to TCP_ESTABLISH, then look at sk->sk_shutdown to finally enter TCP_FIN_WAIT1 state, and send a FIN packet from a sane socket state. This means tcp_send_fin() can now be called from BH context, and must use GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

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: add datapath logic for PSP with inline key exchange Add validation points and state propagation to support PSP key exchange inline, on TCP connections. The expectation is that application will use some well established mechanism like TLS handshake to establish a secure channel over the connection and if both endpoints are PSP-capable - exchange and install PSP keys. Because the connection can existing in PSP-unsecured and PSP-secured state we need to make sure that there are no race conditions or retransmission leaks. On Tx - mark packets with the skb->decrypted bit when PSP key is at the enqueue time. Drivers should only encrypt packets with this bit set. This prevents retransmissions getting encrypted when original transmission was not. Similarly to TLS, we'll use sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb to make sure PSP skbs can't "escape" via a PSP-unaware device without being encrypted. On Rx - validation is done under socket lock. This moves the validation point later than xfrm, for example. Please see the documentation patch for more details on the flow of securing a connection, but for the purpose of this patch what's important is that we want to enforce the invariant that once connection is secured any skb in the receive queue has been encrypted with PSP. Add GRO and coalescing checks to prevent PSP authenticated data from being combined with cleartext data, or data with non-matching PSP state. On Rx, check skb's with psp_skb_coalesce_diff() at points before psp_sk_rx_policy_check(). After skb's are policy checked and on the socket receive queue, skb_cmp_decrypted() is sufficient for checking for coalescable PSP state. On Tx, tcp_write_collapse_fence() should be called when transitioning a socket into PSP Tx state to prevent data sent as cleartext from being coalesced with PSP encapsulated data. This change only adds the validation points, for ease of review.

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.

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: do not leave dangling pointers in tp->highest_sack Latest commit 853697504de0 ("tcp: Fix highest_sack and highest_sack_seq") apparently allowed syzbot to trigger various crashes in TCP stack [1] I believe this commit only made things easier for syzbot to find its way into triggering use-after-frees. But really the bugs could lead to bad TCP behavior or even plain crashes even for non malicious peers. I have audited all calls to tcp_rtx_queue_unlink() and tcp_rtx_queue_unlink_and_free() and made sure tp->highest_sack would be updated if we are removing from rtx queue the skb that tp->highest_sack points to. These updates were missing in three locations : 1) tcp_clean_rtx_queue() [This one seems quite serious, I have no idea why this was not caught earlier] 2) tcp_rtx_queue_purge() [Probably not a big deal for normal operations] 3) tcp_send_synack() [Probably not a big deal for normal operations] [1] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in tcp_highest_sack_seq include/net/tcp.h:1864 [inline] BUG: KASAN:

[NET] CORE: Introducing new memory accounting interface. This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions for stream protocols. At the same time, some stream memory accounting functions are removed since other functions do same thing. Renaming: sk_stream_free_skb() -> sk_wmem_free_skb() __sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> __sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_schedule -> __sk_mem_schedule() sk_stream_pages() -> sk_mem_pages() sk_stream_rmem_schedule() -> sk_rmem_schedule() sk_stream_wmem_schedule() -> sk_wmem_schedule() sk_charge_skb() -> sk_mem_charge() Removeing sk_stream_rfree(): consolidates into sock_rfree() sk_stream_set_owner_r(): consolidates into skb_set_owner_r() sk_stream_mem_schedule() The following functions are added. sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge() In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is removed from sk_mem_charge(). Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call. Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface in TCP and SCTP.

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.

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.

net: Add skb->mono_delivery_time to distinguish mono delivery_time from (rcv) timestamp skb->tstamp was first used as the (rcv) timestamp. The major usage is to report it to the user (e.g. SO_TIMESTAMP). Later, skb->tstamp is also set as the (future) delivery_time (e.g. EDT in TCP) during egress and used by the qdisc (e.g. sch_fq) to make decision on when the skb can be passed to the dev. Currently, there is no way to tell skb->tstamp having the (rcv) timestamp or the delivery_time, so it is always reset to 0 whenever forwarded between egress and ingress. While it makes sense to always clear the (rcv) timestamp in skb->tstamp to avoid confusing sch_fq that expects the delivery_time, it is a performance issue [0] to clear the delivery_time if the skb finally egress to a fq@phy-dev. For example, when forwarding from egress to ingress and then finally back to egress: tcp-sender => veth@netns => veth@hostns => fq@eth0@hostns ^ ^ reset rest This patch adds one bit skb->mono_delivery_time to flag the skb->tstamp is storing the mono delivery_time (EDT) instead of the (rcv) timestamp. The current use case is to keep the TCP mono delivery_time (EDT) and to be used with sch_fq. A latter patch will also allow tc-bpf@ingress to read and change the mono delivery_time. In the future, another bit (e.g. skb->user_delivery_time) can be added for the SCM_TXTIME where the clock base is tracked by sk->sk_clockid. [ This patch is a prep work. The following patches will get the other parts of the stack ready first. Then another patch after that will finally set the skb->mono_delivery_time. ] skb_set_delivery_time() function is added. It is used by the tcp_output.c and during ip[6] fragmentation to assign the delivery_time to the skb->tstamp and also set the skb->mono_delivery_time. A note on the change in ip_send_unicast_reply() in ip_output.c. It is only used by TCP to send reset/ack out of a ctl_sk. Like the new skb_set_delivery_time(), this patch sets the skb->mono_delivery_time to 0 for now as a place holder. It will be enabled in a latter patch. A similar case in tcp_ipv6 can be done with skb_set_delivery_time() in tcp_v6_send_response().

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: 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.

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: 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.

TCP method to select the initial window and window scaling option in tcp_select_initial_window() currently misbehaves and do not consider a reduced RX socket buffer via setsockopt. Even though the server's RX buffer is reduced via setsockopt() to 256 byte (Initial Window 384 byte => 256 * 2 - (256 * 2 / 4)) the window scale option is still 7: 192.168.1.38.40676 > 78.47.222.210.5001: Flags [S], seq 2577214362, win 5840, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 338417 ecr 0,nop,wscale 0], length 0 78.47.222.210.5001 > 192.168.1.38.40676: Flags [S.], seq 1570631029, ack 2577214363, win 384, options [mss 1452,sackOK,TS val 2435248895 ecr 338417,nop,wscale 7], length 0 192.168.1.38.40676 > 78.47.222.210.5001: Flags [.], ack 1, win 5840, options [nop,nop,TS val 338421 ecr 2435248895], length 0 Within tcp_select_initial_window() the original space argument - a representation of the rx buffer size - is expanded during tcp_select_initial_window(). Only sysctl_tcp_rmem[2], sysctl_rmem_max and window_clamp are considered to calculate the initial window. This patch adjust the window_clamp argument if the user explicitly reduce the receive buffer.

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: 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.

tcp: fastopen: fix on syn-data transmit failure Our recent change exposed a bug in TCP Fastopen Client that syzkaller found right away [1] When we prepare skb with SYN+DATA, we attempt to transmit it, and we update socket state as if the transmit was a success. In socket RTX queue we have two skbs, one with the SYN alone, and a second one containing the DATA. When (malicious) ACK comes in, we now complain that second one had no skb_mstamp. The proper fix is to make sure that if the transmit failed, we do not pretend we sent the DATA skb, and make it our send_head. When 3WHS completes, we can now send the DATA right away, without having to wait for a timeout.

tcp: defer md5sig_info kfree past RCU grace period in tcp_connect The md5+ao reconciliation in tcp_connect() (net/ipv4/tcp_output.c) has two symmetric branches: if (needs_md5) { tcp_ao_destroy_sock(sk, false); } else if (needs_ao) { tcp_clear_md5_list(sk); kfree(rcu_replace_pointer(tp->md5sig_info, NULL, ...)); } Both branches free a per-socket auth-info object while the socket is in TCP_SYN_SENT and is already on the inet ehash (inserted by inet_hash_connect() in tcp_v4_connect()). Both branches are reachable by softirq RX-path readers that load the corresponding info pointer via implicit RCU before bh_lock_sock_nested() is taken. The needs_md5 branch is fixed in the prior patch by re-introducing the call_rcu() free in tcp_ao_destroy_sock(): the equivalent per-key loop runs inside tcp_ao_info_free_rcu(), the RCU callback, so by the time it frees each tcp_ao_key all softirq readers that captured the container have already completed rcu_read_unlock(). The needs_ao branch is not symmetric in the same way. The container free can be deferred via kfree_rcu(md5sig, rcu) -- struct tcp_md5sig_info already has the required rcu member (include/net/tcp.h:1999-2002), and the rest of the tree already does this in the tcp_md5sig_info_add() rollback paths (net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:1410, 1436). But the per-key teardown is done by tcp_clear_md5_list() in process context BEFORE the container's RCU grace period: it walks &md5sig->head and frees each tcp_md5sig_key with bare hlist_del + kfree. A concurrent softirq reader in __tcp_md5_do_lookup() / __tcp_md5_do_lookup_exact() (tcp_ipv4.c:1253, 1298) walks the same list via hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() and races with that bare kfree on the keys themselves -- a per-key slab use-after-free of the same class as the TCP-AO bug, on the same race window. Fix this in two halves: 1. Convert the bare kfree() in tcp_connect() to kfree_rcu() so the md5sig_info container joins the rest of the md5sig lifecycle. The local-variable lift is mechanical and required because kfree_rcu() is a macro that expects an lvalue. 2. Make tcp_clear_md5_list() RCU-safe by replacing hlist_del + kfree(key) with hlist_del_rcu + kfree_rcu(key, rcu). struct tcp_md5sig_key already carries the rcu member (include/net/tcp.h:1995) and tcp_md5_do_del() (net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:1456) already uses kfree_rcu, so this restores the lifecycle invariant the rest of the file follows rather than introducing a one-off. The other caller of tcp_clear_md5_list() is tcp_md5_destruct_sock() (net/ipv4/tcp.c:412), which runs from the sock destructor when the socket is already unhashed and unreachable; the extra grace period there is unnecessary but harmless. Making the helper unconditionally RCU-safe is the cleaner contract. The needs_ao branch is not reachable by the userns reproducer used to demonstrate the AO-side splat (the repro installs both keys but ends up in the needs_md5 branch because the connect peer matches the MD5 key, not the AO key); however the symmetric race exists and a maintainer touching this code should not have to think about which branch escapes RCU and which one does not.

tcp: add datapath logic for PSP with inline key exchange Add validation points and state propagation to support PSP key exchange inline, on TCP connections. The expectation is that application will use some well established mechanism like TLS handshake to establish a secure channel over the connection and if both endpoints are PSP-capable - exchange and install PSP keys. Because the connection can existing in PSP-unsecured and PSP-secured state we need to make sure that there are no race conditions or retransmission leaks. On Tx - mark packets with the skb->decrypted bit when PSP key is at the enqueue time. Drivers should only encrypt packets with this bit set. This prevents retransmissions getting encrypted when original transmission was not. Similarly to TLS, we'll use sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb to make sure PSP skbs can't "escape" via a PSP-unaware device without being encrypted. On Rx - validation is done under socket lock. This moves the validation point later than xfrm, for example. Please see the documentation patch for more details on the flow of securing a connection, but for the purpose of this patch what's important is that we want to enforce the invariant that once connection is secured any skb in the receive queue has been encrypted with PSP. Add GRO and coalescing checks to prevent PSP authenticated data from being combined with cleartext data, or data with non-matching PSP state. On Rx, check skb's with psp_skb_coalesce_diff() at points before psp_sk_rx_policy_check(). After skb's are policy checked and on the socket receive queue, skb_cmp_decrypted() is sufficient for checking for coalescable PSP state. On Tx, tcp_write_collapse_fence() should be called when transitioning a socket into PSP Tx state to prevent data sent as cleartext from being coalesced with PSP encapsulated data. This change only adds the validation points, for ease of review. Subsequent change will add the ability to install keys, and flesh the enforcement logic out Reviewed-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Co-developed-by: Daniel Zahka <daniel.zahka@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Zahka <daniel.zahka@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250917000954.859376-5-daniel.zahka@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

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: fastopen: fix on syn-data transmit failure Our recent change exposed a bug in TCP Fastopen Client that syzkaller found right away [1] When we prepare skb with SYN+DATA, we attempt to transmit it, and we update socket state as if the transmit was a success. In socket RTX queue we have two skbs, one with the SYN alone, and a second one containing the DATA. When (malicious) ACK comes in, we now complain that second one had no skb_mstamp. The proper fix is to make sure that if the transmit failed, we do not pretend we sent the DATA skb, and make it our send_head. When 3WHS completes, we can now send the DATA right away, without having to wait for a timeout.

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: add datapath logic for PSP with inline key exchange Add validation points and state propagation to support PSP key exchange inline, on TCP connections. The expectation is that application will use some well established mechanism like TLS handshake to establish a secure channel over the connection and if both endpoints are PSP-capable - exchange and install PSP keys. Because the connection can existing in PSP-unsecured and PSP-secured state we need to make sure that there are no race conditions or retransmission leaks. On Tx - mark packets with the skb->decrypted bit when PSP key is at the enqueue time. Drivers should only encrypt packets with this bit set. This prevents retransmissions getting encrypted when original transmission was not. Similarly to TLS, we'll use sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb to make sure PSP skbs can't "escape" via a PSP-unaware device without being encrypted. On Rx - validation is done under socket lock. This moves the validation point later than xfrm, for example. Please see the documentation patch for more details on the flow of securing a connection, but for the purpose of this patch what's important is that we want to enforce the invariant that once connection is secured any skb in the receive queue has been encrypted with PSP. Add GRO and coalescing checks to prevent PSP authenticated data from being combined with cleartext data, or data with non-matching PSP state. On Rx, check skb's with psp_skb_coalesce_diff() at points before psp_sk_rx_policy_check(). After skb's are policy checked and on the socket receive queue, skb_cmp_decrypted() is sufficient for checking for coalescable PSP state. On Tx, tcp_write_collapse_fence() should be called when transitioning a socket into PSP Tx state to prevent data sent as cleartext from being coalesced with PSP encapsulated data. This change only adds the validation points, for ease of review.

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: annotate data-races around tcp_rsk(req)->txhash TCP request sockets are lockless, some of their fields can change while being read by another cpu as syzbot noticed. This is usually harmless, but we should annotate the known races. This patch takes care of tcp_rsk(req)->txhash, a separate one is needed for tcp_rsk(req)->ts_recent.

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: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process context Laurent reported the enclosed report [1] This bug triggers with following coditions: 0) Kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y 1) A new passive FastOpen TCP socket is created. This FO socket waits for an ACK coming from client to be a complete ESTABLISHED one. 2) A socket operation on this socket goes through lock_sock() release_sock() dance. 3) While the socket is owned by the user in step 2), a retransmit of the SYN is received and stored in socket backlog. 4) At release_sock() time, the socket backlog is processed while in process context. 5) A SYNACK packet is cooked in response of the SYN retransmit. 6) -> tcp_rtx_synack() is called in process context. Before blamed commit, tcp_rtx_synack() was always called from BH handler, from a timer handler. Fix this by using TCP_INC_STATS() & NET_INC_STATS() which do not assume caller is in non preemptible context.
