net: tcp: close sock if net namespace is exiting

2018-03-01T03:09:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4ee806d51176ba7b8ff1efd81f271d7252e03a1d ]

When a tcp socket is closed, if it detects that its net namespace is
exiting, close immediately and do not wait for FIN sequence.

For normal sockets, a reference is taken to their net namespace, so it will
never exit while the socket is open.  However, kernel sockets do not take a
reference to their net namespace, so it may begin exiting while the kernel
socket is still open.  In this case if the kernel socket is a tcp socket,
it will stay open trying to complete its close sequence.  The sock's dst(s)
hold a reference to their interface, which are all transferred to the
namespace's loopback interface when the real interfaces are taken down.
When the namespace tries to take down its loopback interface, it hangs
waiting for all references to the loopback interface to release, which
results in messages like:

unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1

These messages continue until the socket finally times out and closes.
Since the net namespace cleanup holds the net_mutex while calling its
registered pernet callbacks, any new net namespace initialization is
blocked until the current net namespace finishes exiting.

After this change, the tcp socket notices the exiting net namespace, and
closes immediately, releasing its dst(s) and their reference to the
loopback interface, which lets the net namespace continue exiting.

tcp: fix various issues for sockets morphing to listen state

2018-01-17T17:28:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 02b2faaf0af1d85585f6d6980e286d53612acfc2 ]

Dmitry Vyukov reported a divide by 0 triggered by syzkaller, exploiting
tcp_disconnect() path that was never really considered and/or used
before syzkaller ;)

I was not able to reproduce the bug, but it seems issues here are the
three possible actions that assumed they would never trigger on a
listener.

1) tcp_write_timer_handler
2) tcp_delack_timer_handler
3) MTU reduction

Only IPv6 MTU reduction was properly testing TCP_CLOSE and TCP_LISTEN
 states from tcp_v6_mtu_reduced()

tcp: disable Fast Open on timeouts after handshake

2015-12-15T05:24:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0e45f4da5981895e885dd72fe912a3f8e32bae73 ]

Some middle-boxes black-hole the data after the Fast Open handshake
(https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/94/slides/slides-94-tcpm-13.pdf).
The exact reason is unknown. The work-around is to disable Fast Open
temporarily after multiple recurring timeouts with few or no data
delivered in the established state.

tcp: RFC7413 option support for Fast Open client

2015-04-07T22:36:39+00:00

Fast Open has been using an experimental option with a magic number
(RFC6994). This patch makes the client by default use the RFC7413
option (34) to get and send Fast Open cookies.  This patch makes
the client solicit cookies from a given server first with the
RFC7413 option. If that fails to elicit a cookie, then it tries
the RFC6994 experimental option. If that also fails, it uses the
RFC7413 option on all subsequent connect attempts.  If the server
returns a Fast Open cookie then the client caches the form of the
option that successfully elicited a cookie, and uses that form on
later connects when it presents that cookie.

The idea is to gradually obsolete the use of experimental options as
the servers and clients upgrade, while keeping the interoperability
meanwhile.

inet: remove sk_listener parameter from syn_ack_timeout()

It is not needed, and req->sk_listener points to the listener anyway.

inet: get rid of central tcp/dccp listener timer

2015-03-20T16:40:25+00:00

One of the major issue for TCP is the SYNACK rtx handling,
done by inet_csk_reqsk_queue_prune(), fired by the keepalive
timer of a TCP_LISTEN socket.

This function runs for awful long times, with socket lock held,
meaning that other cpus needing this lock have to spin for hundred of ms.

SYNACK are sent in huge bursts, likely to cause severe drops anyway.

This model was OK 15 years ago when memory was very tight.

We now can afford to have a timer per request sock.

Timer invocations no longer need to lock the listener,
and can be run from all cpus in parallel.

With following patch increasing somaxconn width to 32 bits,
I tested a listener with more than 4 million active request sockets,
and a steady SYNFLOOD of ~200,000 SYN per second.
Host was sending ~830,000 SYNACK per second.

This is ~100 times more what we could achieve before this patch.

Later, we will get rid of the listener hash and use ehash instead.

ipv4: Create probe timer for tcp PMTU as per RFC4821

2015-03-06T19:57:42+00:00

As per RFC4821 7.3.  Selecting Probe Size, a probe timer should
be armed once probing has converged. Once this timer expired,
probing again to take advantage of any path PMTU change. The
recommended probing interval is 10 minutes per RFC1981. Probing
interval could be sysctled by sysctl_tcp_probe_interval.

Eric Dumazet suggested to implement pseudo timer based on 32bits
jiffies tcp_time_stamp instead of using classic timer for such
rare event.

ipv4: Namespecify TCP PMTU mechanism

2015-02-10T02:45:00+00:00

Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery works separately beside
Path MTU Discovery at IP level, different net namespace has
various requirements on which one to chose, e.g., a virutalized
container instance would require TCP PMTU to probe an usable
effective mtu for underlying tunnel, while the host would
employ classical ICMP based PMTU to function.

Hence making TCP PMTU mechanism per net namespace to decouple
two functionality. Furthermore the probe base MSS should also
be configured separately for each namespace.

net: Convert LIMIT_NETDEBUG to net_dbg_ratelimited

2014-11-11T19:10:31+00:00

Use the more common dynamic_debug capable net_dbg_ratelimited
and remove the LIMIT_NETDEBUG macro.

All messages are still ratelimited.

Some KERN_ uses are changed to KERN_DEBUG.

This may have some negative impact on messages that were
emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless
DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled.  Even so,
these messages are now _not_ emitted by default.

This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl
"/proc/sys/net/core/warnings".  For backward compatibility,
the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function.  The extern
declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made
static in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c

Miscellanea:

o Update the sysctl documentation
o Remove the embedded uses of pr_fmt
o Coalesce format fragments
o Realign arguments

tcp: abort orphan sockets stalling on zero window probes

2014-10-01T20:27:52+00:00

Currently we have two different policies for orphan sockets
that repeatedly stall on zero window ACKs. If a socket gets
a zero window ACK when it is transmitting data, the RTO is
used to probe the window. The socket is aborted after roughly
tcp_orphan_retries() retries (as in tcp_write_timeout()).

But if the socket was idle when it received the zero window ACK,
and later wants to send more data, we use the probe timer to
probe the window. If the receiver always returns zero window ACKs,
icsk_probes keeps getting reset in tcp_ack() and the orphan socket
can stall forever until the system reaches the orphan limit (as
commented in tcp_probe_timer()). This opens up a simple attack
to create lots of hanging orphan sockets to burn the memory
and the CPU, as demonstrated in the recent netdev post "TCP
connection will hang in FIN_WAIT1 after closing if zero window is
advertised." http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg296539.html

This patch follows the design in RTO-based probe: we abort an orphan
socket stalling on zero window when the probe timer reaches both
the maximum backoff and the maximum RTO. For example, an 100ms RTT
connection will timeout after roughly 153 seconds (0.3 + 0.6 +
.... + 76.8) if the receiver keeps the window shut. If the orphan
socket passes this check, but the system already has too many orphans
(as in tcp_out_of_resources()), we still abort it but we'll also
send an RST packet as the connection may still be active.

In addition, we change TCP_USER_TIMEOUT to cover (life or dead)
sockets stalled on zero-window probes. This changes the semantics
of TCP_USER_TIMEOUT slightly because it previously only applies
when the socket has pending transmission.
