commit 11052589cf5c0bab3b4884d423d5f60c38fcf25d upstream.

Commit e21145a9871a ("ipv4: namespacify ip_early_demux sysctl knob") made
it possible to enable/disable early_demux on a per-netns basis.  Then, we
introduced two knobs, tcp_early_demux and udp_early_demux, to switch it for
TCP/UDP in commit dddb64bcb346 ("net: Add sysctl to toggle early demux for
tcp and udp").  However, the .proc_handler() was wrong and actually
disabled us from changing the behaviour in each netns.

We can execute early_demux if net.ipv4.ip_early_demux is on and each proto
.early_demux() handler is not NULL.  When we toggle (tcp|udp)_early_demux,
the change itself is saved in each netns variable, but the .early_demux()
handler is a global variable, so the handler is switched based on the
init_net's sysctl variable.  Thus, netns (tcp|udp)_early_demux knobs have
nothing to do with the logic.  Whether we CAN execute proto .early_demux()
is always decided by init_net's sysctl knob, and whether we DO it or not is
by each netns ip_early_demux knob.

This patch namespacifies (tcp|udp)_early_demux again.  For now, the users
of the .early_demux() handler are TCP and UDP only, and they are called
directly to avoid retpoline.  So, we can remove the .early_demux() handler
from inet6?_protos and need not dereference them in ip6?_rcv_finish_core().
If another proto needs .early_demux(), we can restore it at that time.

As explained by Julian, fib_nh_scope is related to fib_nh_gw4, but
fib_info_update_nhc_saddr() needs the scope of the route, which is
the scope "before" fib_nh_scope, ie fib_nh_scope - 1.

<title>tcp: fix indefinite deferral of RTO with SACK reneging</title>

[ Upstream commit 3d2af9cce3133b3bc596a9d065c6f9d93419ccfb ]

This commit fixes a bug that can cause a TCP data sender to repeatedly
defer RTOs when encountering SACK reneging.

The bug is that when we're in fast recovery in a scenario with SACK
reneging, every time we get an ACK we call tcp_check_sack_reneging()
and it can note the apparent SACK reneging and rearm the RTO timer for
srtt/2 into the future. In some SACK reneging scenarios that can
happen repeatedly until the receive window fills up, at which point
the sender can't send any more, the ACKs stop arriving, and the RTO
fires at srtt/2 after the last ACK. But that can take far too long
(O(10 secs)), since the connection is stuck in fast recovery with a
low cwnd that cannot grow beyond ssthresh, even if more bandwidth is
available.

This fix changes the logic in tcp_check_sack_reneging() to only rearm
the RTO timer if data is cumulatively ACKed, indicating forward
progress. This avoids this kind of nearly infinite loop of RTO timer
re-arming. In addition, this meets the goals of
tcp_check_sack_reneging() in handling Windows TCP behavior that looks
temporarily like SACK reneging but is not really.

Many thanks to Jakub Kicinski and Neil Spring, who reported this issue
and provided critical packet traces that enabled root-causing this
issue. Also, many thanks to Jakub Kicinski for testing this fix.

[ Upstream commit ec791d8149ff60c40ad2074af3b92a39c916a03f ]

The type of sk_rcvbuf and sk_sndbuf in struct sock is int, and
in tcp_add_backlog(), the variable limit is caculated by adding
sk_rcvbuf, sk_sndbuf and 64 * 1024, it may exceed the max value
of int and overflow. This patch reduces the limit budget by
halving the sndbuf to solve this issue since ACK packets are much
smaller than the payload.

[ Upstream commit 69421bf98482d089e50799f45e48b25ce4a8d154 ]

When we call connect() for a UDP socket in a reuseport group, we have
to update sk-&gt;sk_reuseport_cb-&gt;has_conns to 1.  Otherwise, the kernel
could select a unconnected socket wrongly for packets sent to the
connected socket.

However, the current way to set has_conns is illegal and possible to
trigger that problem.  reuseport_has_conns() changes has_conns under
rcu_read_lock(), which upgrades the RCU reader to the updater.  Then,
it must do the update under the updater's lock, reuseport_lock, but
it doesn't for now.

For this reason, there is a race below where we fail to set has_conns
resulting in the wrong socket selection.  To avoid the race, let's split
the reader and updater with proper locking.

 cpu1                               cpu2
+----+                             +----+

.                                  .
|- reuseport_has_conns(sk, true)   |- more_reuse = __reuseport_alloc(more_socks_size)
|  .                               |
|  |- rcu_read_lock()
|  |- reuse = rcu_dereference(sk-&gt;sk_reuseport_cb)
|  |
|  |                               |  /* reuse-&gt;has_conns == 0 here */
|  |                               |- more_reuse-&gt;has_conns = reuse-&gt;has_conns
|  |- reuse-&gt;has_conns = 1         |  /* more_reuse-&gt;has_conns SHOULD BE 1 HERE */
|  |                               |
|  |                               |- rcu_assign_pointer(reuse-&gt;socks[i]-&gt;sk_reuseport_cb,
|  |                               |                     more_reuse)
|  `- rcu_read_unlock()            `- kfree_rcu(reuse, rcu)
|
|- sk-&gt;sk_state = TCP_ESTABLISHED

Note the likely(reuse) in reuseport_has_conns_set() is always true,
but we put the test there for ease of review.  [0]

For the record, usually, sk_reuseport_cb is changed under lock_sock().
The only exception is reuseport_grow() &amp; TCP reqsk migration case.

  1) shutdown() TCP listener, which is moved into the latter part of
     reuse-&gt;socks[] to migrate reqsk.

  2) New listen() overflows reuse-&gt;socks[] and call reuseport_grow().

  3) reuse-&gt;max_socks overflows u16 with the new listener.

  4) reuseport_grow() pops the old shutdown()ed listener from the array
     and update its sk-&gt;sk_reuseport_cb as NULL without lock_sock().

shutdown()ed TCP sk-&gt;sk_reuseport_cb can be changed without lock_sock(),
but, reuseport_has_conns_set() is called only for UDP under lock_sock(),
so likely(reuse) never be false in reuseport_has_conns_set().

Note the likely(reuse) in reuseport_has_conns_set() is always true,
but we put the test there for ease of review.  [0]

For the record, usually, sk_reuseport_cb is changed under lock_sock().
The only exception is reuseport_grow() &amp; TCP reqsk migration case.

  1) shutdown() TCP listener, which is moved into the latter part of
     reuse-&gt;socks[] to migrate reqsk.

  2) New listen() overflows reuse-&gt;socks[] and call reuseport_grow().

  3) reuse-&gt;max_socks overflows u16 with the new listener.

  4) reuseport_grow() pops the old shutdown()ed listener from the array
     and update its sk-&gt;sk_reuseport_cb as NULL without lock_sock().

shutdown()ed TCP sk-&gt;sk_reuseport_cb can be changed without lock_sock(),
but, reuseport_has_conns_set() is called only for UDP under lock_sock(),
so likely(reuse) never be false in reuseport_has_conns_set().

[ Upstream commit aacd467c0a576e5e44d2de4205855dc0fe43f6fb ]

tcp_md5sig_pool_populated can be read while another thread
changes its value.

The race has no consequence because allocations
are protected with tcp_md5sig_mutex.

This patch adds READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to document
the race and silence KCSAN.

[ Upstream commit 62c07983bef9d3e78e71189441e1a470f0d1e653 ]

Christophe Leroy reported a ~80ms latency spike
happening at first TCP connect() time.

This is because __inet_hash_connect() uses get_random_once()
to populate a perturbation table which became quite big
after commit 4c2c8f03a5ab ("tcp: increase source port perturb table to 2^16")

get_random_once() uses DO_ONCE(), which block hard irqs for the duration
of the operation.

This patch adds DO_ONCE_SLOW() which uses a mutex instead of a spinlock
for operations where we prefer to stay in process context.

Then __inet_hash_connect() can use get_random_slow_once()
to populate its perturbation table.

Fixes: 4c2c8f03a5ab ("tcp: increase source port perturb table to 2^16")
Fixes: 190cc82489f4 ("tcp: change source port randomizarion at connect() time")

<title>tcp: fix tcp_cwnd_validate() to not forget is_cwnd_limited</title>

[ Upstream commit f4ce91ce12a7c6ead19b128ffa8cff6e3ded2a14 ]

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-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;packets_out &gt; tp-&gt;max_packets_out can only trigger an update of
tp-&gt;is_cwnd_limited if tp-&gt;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.
