tcp: take care of truncations done by sk_filter()

2016-11-28T21:22:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit ac6e780070e30e4c35bd395acfe9191e6268bdd3 ]

With syzkaller help, Marco Grassi found a bug in TCP stack,
crashing in tcp_collapse()

Root cause is that sk_filter() can truncate the incoming skb,
but TCP stack was not really expecting this to happen.
It probably was expecting a simple DROP or ACCEPT behavior.

We first need to make sure no part of TCP header could be removed.
Then we need to adjust TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq

Many thanks to syzkaller team and Marco for giving us a reproducer.

tcp: fix use after free in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue()

2016-09-29T09:14:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit bb1fceca22492109be12640d49f5ea5a544c6bb4 ]

When tcp_sendmsg() allocates a fresh and empty skb, it puts it at the
tail of the write queue using tcp_add_write_queue_tail()

Then it attempts to copy user data into this fresh skb.

If the copy fails, we undo the work and remove the fresh skb.

Unfortunately, this undo lacks the change done to tp->highest_sack and
we can leave a dangling pointer (to a freed skb)

Later, tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue() can dereference this pointer and
access freed memory. For regular kernels where memory is not unmapped,
this might cause SACK bugs because tcp_highest_sack_seq() is buggy,
returning garbage instead of tp->snd_nxt, but with various debug
features like CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, this can crash the kernel.

This bug was found by Marco Grassi thanks to syzkaller.

tcp: fix tcp_release_cb() to dispatch via address family for mtu_reduced()

2014-10-17T07:43:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4fab9071950c2021d846e18351e0f46a1cffd67b ]

Make sure we use the correct address-family-specific function for
handling MTU reductions from within tcp_release_cb().

Previously AF_INET6 sockets were incorrectly always using the IPv6
code path when sometimes they were handling IPv4 traffic and thus had
an IPv4 dst.

tcp: syncookies: do not use getnstimeofday()

2014-04-18T09:07:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 632623153196bf183a69686ed9c07eee98ff1bf8 ]

While it is true that getnstimeofday() uses about 40 cycles if TSC
is available, it can use 1600 cycles if hpet is the clocksource.

Switch to get_jiffies_64(), as this is more than enough, and
go back to 60 seconds periods.

tcp: syncookies: reduce cookie lifetime to 128 seconds

2014-03-14T22:00:54+00:00

commit 8c27bd75f04fb9cb70c69c3cfe24f4e6d8e15906 upstream.

We currently accept cookies that were created less than 4 minutes ago
(ie, cookies with counter delta 0-3).  Combined with the 8 mss table
values, this yields 32 possible values (out of 2**32) that will be valid.

Reducing the lifetime to < 2 minutes halves the guessing chance while
still providing a large enough period.

While at it, get rid of jiffies value -- they overflow too quickly on
32 bit platforms.

getnstimeofday is used to create a counter that increments every 64s.
perf shows getnstimeofday cost is negible compared to sha_transform;
normal tcp initial sequence number generation uses getnstimeofday, too.

net-tcp: fastopen: fix high order allocations

2014-03-13T22:19:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit f5ddcbbb40aa0ba7fbfe22355d287603dbeeaaac ]

This patch fixes two bugs in fastopen :

1) The tcp_sendmsg(...,  @size) argument was ignored.

   Code was relying on user not fooling the kernel with iovec mismatches

2) When MTU is about 64KB, tcp_send_syn_data() attempts order-5
allocations, which are likely to fail when memory gets fragmented.

tcp: Change return value of tcp_rcv_established()

2013-09-04T04:27:28+00:00

tcp_rcv_established() returns only one value namely 0. We change the return
value to void (as suggested by David Miller).

After commit 0c24604b (tcp: implement RFC 5961 4.2), we no longer send RSTs in
response to SYNs. We can remove the check and processing on the return value of
tcp_rcv_established().

We also fix jtcp_rcv_established() in tcp_probe.c to match that of
tcp_rcv_established().

tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing

2013-08-29T19:50:06+00:00

After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being
bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO
packets.

One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic
relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having
big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create
micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the
buffering amount.

This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates
the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so
that we try to send one packet every ms.

This field could be set by other transports.

Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets
makes sense to reach line rate.

For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking.

This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments.

A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the
minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2).

A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using
sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing.

This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current
rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up.

sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt

v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on
initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take
into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs
