<title>tcp: make TCP_USER_TIMEOUT accurate for zero window probes</title>

The TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is checked by the 0-window probe timer. As the
timer has backoff with a max interval of about two minutes, the
actual timeout for TCP_USER_TIMEOUT can be off by up to two minutes.

In this patch the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is made more accurate by taking it
into account when computing the timer value for the 0-window probes.

This patch is similar to and builds on top of the one that made
TCP_USER_TIMEOUT accurate for RTOs in commit b701a99e431d ("tcp: Add
tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() helper to improve accuracy").

<title>tcp: fix TCP socket rehash stats mis-accounting</title>

<content type='text'>
The previous commit 32efcc06d2a1 ("tcp: export count for rehash attempts")
would mis-account rehashing SNMP and socket stats:

  a. During handshake of an active open, only counts the first
     SYN timeout

  b. After handshake of passive and active open, stop updating
     after (roughly) TCP_RETRIES1 recurring RTOs

  c. After the socket aborts, over count timeout_rehash by 1

This patch fixes this by checking the rehash result from sk_rethink_txhash.

The TCP session does not terminate with TCP_USER_TIMEOUT when data
remain untransmitted due to zero window.

The number of unanswered zero-window probes (tcp_probes_out) is
reset to zero with incoming acks irrespective of the window size,
as described in tcp_probe_timer():

    RFC 1122 4.2.2.17 requires the sender to stay open indefinitely
    as long as the receiver continues to respond probes. We support
    this by default and reset icsk_probes_out with incoming ACKs.

This counter, however, is the wrong one to be used in calculating the
duration that the window remains closed and data remain untransmitted.
Thanks to Jonathan Maxwell &lt;jmaxwell37@gmail.com&gt; for diagnosing the
actual issue.

In this patch a new timestamp is introduced for the socket in order to
track the elapsed time for the zero-window probes that have not been
answered with any non-zero window ack.

TCP has been using it to work around the possibility of tcp_delack_timer()
finding the socket owned by user.

After commit 6f458dfb4092 ("tcp: improve latencies of timer triggered events")
we added TCP_DELACK_TIMER_DEFERRED atomic bit for more immediate recovery,
so we can get rid of icsk_ack.blocked

This frees space that following patch will reuse.

In commit 86de5921a3d5 ("tcp: defer SACK compression after DupThresh")
I added a TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH bias to tp-&gt;compressed_ack in order
to enable sack compression only after 3 dupacks.

Since we plan to relax this rule for flows that involve
stacks not requiring this old rule, this patch adds
a distinct tp-&gt;dup_ack_counter.

This means the TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH value is now used
in a single location that a future patch can adjust:

	if (tp-&gt;dup_ack_counter &lt; TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH) {
		tp-&gt;dup_ack_counter++;
		goto send_now;
	}

This patch also introduces tcp_sack_compress_send_ack()
helper to ease following patch comprehension.

This patch refines LINUX_MIB_TCPACKCOMPRESSED to not
count the acks that we had to send if the timer expires
or tcp_sack_compress_send_ack() is sending an ack.

Using IPv6 flow-label to swiftly route around avoid congested or
disconnected network path can greatly improve TCP reliability.

This patch adds SNMP counters and a OPT_STATS counter to track both
host-level and connection-level statistics. Network administrators
can use these counters to evaluate the impact of this new ability better.

Export count for rehash attempts to
1) two SNMP counters: TcpTimeoutRehash (rehash due to timeouts),
   and TcpDuplicateDataRehash (rehash due to receiving duplicate
   packets)
2) Timestamping API SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS.

It appears linux-4.14 stable needs a backport of commit
88f8598d0a30 ("tcp: exit if nothing to retransmit on RTO timeout")

Since tcp_rtx_queue_empty() is not in pre 4.15 kernels,
let's refactor tcp_retransmit_timer() to only use tcp_rtx_queue_head()

I will provide to stable teams the squashed patches.

<title>tcp: add rcu protection around tp-&gt;fastopen_rsk</title>

Both tcp_v4_err() and tcp_v6_err() do the following operations
while they do not own the socket lock :

	fastopen = tp-&gt;fastopen_rsk;
 	snd_una = fastopen ? tcp_rsk(fastopen)-&gt;snt_isn : tp-&gt;snd_una;

The problem is that without appropriate barrier, the compiler
might reload tp-&gt;fastopen_rsk and trigger a NULL deref.

request sockets are protected by RCU, we can simply add
the missing annotations and barriers to solve the issue.

The cited commit exposed an old retransmits_timed_out() bug
which assumed it could call tcp_model_timeout() with
TCP_RTO_MIN as rto_base for all states.

But flows in SYN_SENT or SYN_RECV state uses a different
RTO base (1 sec instead of 200 ms, unless BPF choses
another value)

This caused a reduction of SYN retransmits from 6 to 4 with
the default /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syn_retries value.

Fixes: a41e8a88b06e ("tcp: better handle TCP_USER_TIMEOUT in SYN_SENT state")
