tcp: make TCP_USER_TIMEOUT accurate for zero window probes

2021-02-07T14:35:47+00:00

commit 344db93ae3ee69fc137bd6ed89a8ff1bf5b0db08 upstream.

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").

tcp: fix TCP_USER_TIMEOUT with zero window

2021-01-27T10:47:55+00:00

commit 9d9b1ee0b2d1c9e02b2338c4a4b0a062d2d3edac upstream.

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  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: add rcu protection around tp->fastopen_rsk

2019-10-13T17:13:08+00:00

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

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

The problem is that without appropriate barrier, the compiler
might reload tp->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.

tcp: adjust rto_base in retransmits_timed_out()

2019-10-02T01:40:49+00:00

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.

tcp: better handle TCP_USER_TIMEOUT in SYN_SENT state

2019-09-27T18:42:24+00:00

Yuchung Cheng and Marek Majkowski independently reported a weird
behavior of TCP_USER_TIMEOUT option when used at connect() time.

When the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is reached, tcp_write_timeout()
believes the flow should live, and the following condition
in tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() programs one jiffie timers :

    remaining = icsk->icsk_user_timeout - elapsed;
    if (remaining <= 0)
        return 1; /* user timeout has passed; fire ASAP */

This silly situation ends when the max syn rtx count is reached.

This patch makes sure we honor both TCP_SYNCNT and TCP_USER_TIMEOUT,
avoiding these spurious SYN packets.

tcp: add new tcp_mtu_probe_floor sysctl

2019-08-09T20:03:30+00:00

The current implementation of TCP MTU probing can considerably
underestimate the MTU on lossy connections allowing the MSS to get down to
48. We have found that in almost all of these cases on our networks these
paths can handle much larger MTUs meaning the connections are being
artificially limited. Even though TCP MTU probing can raise the MSS back up
we have seen this not to be the case causing connections to be "stuck" with
an MSS of 48 when heavy loss is present.

Prior to pushing out this change we could not keep TCP MTU probing enabled
b/c of the above reasons. Now with a reasonble floor set we've had it
enabled for the past 6 months.

The new sysctl will still default to TCP_MIN_SND_MSS (48), but gives
administrators the ability to control the floor of MSS probing.

tcp: enforce tcp_min_snd_mss in tcp_mtu_probing()

2019-06-16T01:47:31+00:00

If mtu probing is enabled tcp_mtu_probing() could very well end up
with a too small MSS.

Use the new sysctl tcp_min_snd_mss to make sure MSS search
is performed in an acceptable range.

tcp: lower congestion window on Fast Open SYNACK timeout

2019-05-01T15:47:54+00:00

TCP sender would use congestion window of 1 packet on the second SYN
and SYNACK timeout except passive TCP Fast Open. This makes passive
TFO too aggressive and unfair during congestion at handshake. This
patch fixes this issue so TCP (fast open or not, passive or active)
always conforms to the RFC6298.

Note that tcp_enter_loss() is called only once during recurring
timeouts.  This is because during handshake, high_seq and snd_una
are the same so tcp_enter_loss() would incorrect set the undo state
variables multiple times.

tcp: Refactor pingpong code

2019-01-27T21:29:43+00:00

Instead of using pingpong as a single bit information, we refactor the
code to treat it as a counter. When interactive session is detected,
we set pingpong count to TCP_PINGPONG_THRESH. And when pingpong count
is >= TCP_PINGPONG_THRESH, we consider the session in pingpong mode.

This patch is a pure refactor and sets foundation for the next patch.
This patch itself does not change any pingpong logic.
