tcp: fix incorrect undo caused by DSACK of TLP retransmit

2024-07-06T01:03:44+00:00

Loss recovery undo_retrans bookkeeping had a long-standing bug where a
DSACK from a spurious TLP retransmit packet could cause an erroneous
undo of a fast recovery or RTO recovery that repaired a single
really-lost packet (in a sequence range outside that of the TLP
retransmit). Basically, because the loss recovery state machine didn't
account for the fact that it sent a TLP retransmit, the DSACK for the
TLP retransmit could erroneously be implicitly be interpreted as
corresponding to the normal fast recovery or RTO recovery retransmit
that plugged a real hole, thus resulting in an improper undo.

For example, consider the following buggy scenario where there is a
real packet loss but the congestion control response is improperly
undone because of this bug:

+ send packets P1, P2, P3, P4
+ P1 is really lost
+ send TLP retransmit of P4
+ receive SACK for original P2, P3, P4
+ enter fast recovery, fast-retransmit P1, increment undo_retrans to 1
+ receive DSACK for TLP P4, decrement undo_retrans to 0, undo (bug!)
+ receive cumulative ACK for P1-P4 (fast retransmit plugged real hole)

The fix: when we initialize undo machinery in tcp_init_undo(), if
there is a TLP retransmit in flight, then increment tp->undo_retrans
so that we make sure that we receive a DSACK corresponding to the TLP
retransmit, as well as DSACKs for all later normal retransmits, before
triggering a loss recovery undo. Note that we also have to move the
line that clears tp->tlp_high_seq for RTO recovery, so that upon RTO
we remember the tp->tlp_high_seq value until tcp_init_undo() and clear
it only afterward.

Also note that the bug dates back to the original 2013 TLP
implementation, commit 6ba8a3b19e76 ("tcp: Tail loss probe (TLP)").

However, this patch will only compile and work correctly with kernels
that have tp->tlp_retrans, which was added only in v5.8 in 2020 in
commit 76be93fc0702 ("tcp: allow at most one TLP probe per flight").
So we associate this fix with that later commit.

tcp: Don't flag tcp_sk(sk)->rx_opt.saw_unknown for TCP AO.

2024-07-04T09:56:12+00:00

When we process segments with TCP AO, we don't check it in
tcp_parse_options().  Thus, opt_rx->saw_unknown is set to 1,
which unconditionally triggers the BPF TCP option parser.

Let's avoid the unnecessary BPF invocation.

UPSTREAM: tcp: fix DSACK undo in fast recovery to call tcp_try_to_open()

2024-06-28T09:28:14+00:00

In some production workloads we noticed that connections could
sometimes close extremely prematurely with ETIMEDOUT after
transmitting only 1 TLP and RTO retransmission (when we would normally
expect roughly tcp_retries2 = TCP_RETR2 = 15 RTOs before a connection
closes with ETIMEDOUT).

From tracing we determined that these workloads can suffer from a
scenario where in fast recovery, after some retransmits, a DSACK undo
can happen at a point where the scoreboard is totally clear (we have
retrans_out == sacked_out == lost_out == 0). In such cases, calling
tcp_try_keep_open() means that we do not execute any code path that
clears tp->retrans_stamp to 0. That means that tp->retrans_stamp can
remain erroneously set to the start time of the undone fast recovery,
even after the fast recovery is undone. If minutes or hours elapse,
and then a TLP/RTO/RTO sequence occurs, then the start_ts value in
retransmits_timed_out() (which is from tp->retrans_stamp) will be
erroneously ancient (left over from the fast recovery undone via
DSACKs). Thus this ancient tp->retrans_stamp value can cause the
connection to die very prematurely with ETIMEDOUT via
tcp_write_err().

The fix: we change DSACK undo in fast recovery (TCP_CA_Recovery) to
call tcp_try_to_open() instead of tcp_try_keep_open(). This ensures
that if no retransmits are in flight at the time of DSACK undo in fast
recovery then we properly zero retrans_stamp. Note that calling
tcp_try_to_open() is more consistent with other loss recovery
behavior, since normal fast recovery (CA_Recovery) and RTO recovery
(CA_Loss) both normally end when tp->snd_una meets or exceeds
tp->high_seq and then in tcp_fastretrans_alert() the "default" switch
case executes tcp_try_to_open(). Also note that by inspection this
change to call tcp_try_to_open() implies at least one other nice bug
fix, where now an ECE-marked DSACK that causes an undo will properly
invoke tcp_enter_cwr() rather than ignoring the ECE mark.

tcp: fix tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() to enter TCP_CA_Loss for failed TFO

2024-06-26T00:22:49+00:00

Testing determined that the recent commit 9e046bb111f1 ("tcp: clear
tp->retrans_stamp in tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()") has a race, and does
not always ensure retrans_stamp is 0 after a TFO payload retransmit.

If transmit completion for the SYN+data skb happens after the client
TCP stack receives the SYNACK (which sometimes happens), then
retrans_stamp can erroneously remain non-zero for the lifetime of the
connection, causing a premature ETIMEDOUT later.

Testing and tracing showed that the buggy scenario is the following
somewhat tricky sequence:

+ Client attempts a TFO handshake. tcp_send_syn_data() sends SYN + TFO
  cookie + data in a single packet in the syn_data skb. It hands the
  syn_data skb to tcp_transmit_skb(), which makes a clone. Crucially,
  it then reuses the same original (non-clone) syn_data skb,
  transforming it by advancing the seq by one byte and removing the
  FIN bit, and enques the resulting payload-only skb in the
  sk->tcp_rtx_queue.

+ Client sets retrans_stamp to the start time of the three-way
  handshake.

+ Cookie mismatches or server has TFO disabled, and server only ACKs
  SYN.

+ tcp_ack() sees SYN is acked, tcp_clean_rtx_queue() clears
  retrans_stamp.

+ Since the client SYN was acked but not the payload, the TFO failure
  code path in tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() tries to retransmit the
  payload skb.  However, in some cases the transmit completion for the
  clone of the syn_data (which had SYN + TFO cookie + data) hasn't
  happened.  In those cases, skb_still_in_host_queue() returns true
  for the retransmitted TFO payload, because the clone of the syn_data
  skb has not had its tx completetion.

+ Because skb_still_in_host_queue() finds skb_fclone_busy() is true,
  it sets the TSQ_THROTTLED bit and the retransmit does not happen in
  the tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() call chain.

+ The tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() code next implicitly assumes the
  retransmit process is finished, and sets retrans_stamp to 0 to clear
  it, but this is later overwritten (see below).

+ Later, upon tx completion, tcp_tsq_write() calls
  tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue(), which puts the retransmit in flight and
  sets retrans_stamp to a non-zero value.

+ The client receives an ACK for the retransmitted TFO payload data.

+ Since we're in CA_Open and there are no dupacks/SACKs/DSACKs/ECN to
  make tcp_ack_is_dubious() true and make us call
  tcp_fastretrans_alert() and reach a code path that clears
  retrans_stamp, retrans_stamp stays nonzero.

+ Later, if there is a TLP, RTO, RTO sequence, then the connection
  will suffer an early ETIMEDOUT due to the erroneously ancient
  retrans_stamp.

The fix: this commit refactors the code to have
tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() retransmit by reusing the relevant parts of
tcp_simple_retransmit() that enter CA_Loss (without changing cwnd) and
call tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue(). We have tcp_simple_retransmit() and
tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() share code in this way because in both cases
we get a packet indicating non-congestion loss (MTU reduction or TFO
failure) and thus in both cases we want to retransmit as many packets
as cwnd allows, without reducing cwnd. And given that retransmits will
set retrans_stamp to a non-zero value (and may do so in a later
calling context due to TSQ), we also want to enter CA_Loss so that we
track when all retransmitted packets are ACked and clear retrans_stamp
when that happens (to ensure later recurring RTOs are using the
correct retrans_stamp and don't declare ETIMEDOUT prematurely).

Fix race for duplicate reqsk on identical SYN

2024-06-25T09:37:45+00:00

When bonding is configured in BOND_MODE_BROADCAST mode, if two identical
SYN packets are received at the same time and processed on different CPUs,
it can potentially create the same sk (sock) but two different reqsk
(request_sock) in tcp_conn_request().

These two different reqsk will respond with two SYNACK packets, and since
the generation of the seq (ISN) incorporates a timestamp, the final two
SYNACK packets will have different seq values.

The consequence is that when the Client receives and replies with an ACK
to the earlier SYNACK packet, we will reset(RST) it.

========================================================================

This behavior is consistently reproducible in my local setup,
which comprises:

                  | NETA1 ------ NETB1 |
PC_A --- bond --- |                    | --- bond --- PC_B
                  | NETA2 ------ NETB2 |

- PC_A is the Server and has two network cards, NETA1 and NETA2. I have
  bonded these two cards using BOND_MODE_BROADCAST mode and configured
  them to be handled by different CPU.

- PC_B is the Client, also equipped with two network cards, NETB1 and
  NETB2, which are also bonded and configured in BOND_MODE_BROADCAST mode.

If the client attempts a TCP connection to the server, it might encounter
a failure. Capturing packets from the server side reveals:

10.10.10.10.45182 > localhost: Flags [S], seq 320236027,
10.10.10.10.45182 > localhost: Flags [S], seq 320236027,
localhost > 10.10.10.10.45182: Flags [S.], seq 2967855116,
localhost > 10.10.10.10.45182: Flags [S.], seq 2967855123, <==
10.10.10.10.45182 > localhost: Flags [.], ack 4294967290,
10.10.10.10.45182 > localhost: Flags [.], ack 4294967290,
localhost > 10.10.10.10.45182: Flags [R], seq 2967855117, <==
localhost > 10.10.10.10.45182: Flags [R], seq 2967855117,

Two SYNACKs with different seq numbers are sent by localhost,
resulting in an anomaly.

========================================================================

The attempted solution is as follows:
Add a return value to inet_csk_reqsk_queue_hash_add() to confirm if the
ehash insertion is successful (Up to now, the reason for unsuccessful
insertion is that a reqsk for the same connection has already been
inserted). If the insertion fails, release the reqsk.

Due to the refcnt, Kuniyuki suggests also adding a return value check
for the DCCP module; if ehash insertion fails, indicating a successful
insertion of the same connection, simply release the reqsk as well.

Simultaneously, In the reqsk_queue_hash_req(), the start of the
req->rsk_timer is adjusted to be after successful insertion.

tcp: clear tp->retrans_stamp in tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()

2024-06-18T00:50:39+00:00

Some applications were reporting ETIMEDOUT errors on apparently
good looking flows, according to packet dumps.

We were able to root cause the issue to an accidental setting
of tp->retrans_stamp in the following scenario:

- client sends TFO SYN with data.
- server has TFO disabled, ACKs only SYN but not payload.
- client receives SYNACK covering only SYN.
- tcp_ack() eats SYN and sets tp->retrans_stamp to 0.
- tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() calls tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue()
to retransmit TFO payload w/o SYN, sets tp->retrans_stamp to "now",
but we are not in any loss recovery state.
- TFO payload is ACKed.
- we are not in any loss recovery state, and don't see any dupacks,
so we don't get to any code path that clears tp->retrans_stamp.
- tp->retrans_stamp stays non-zero for the lifetime of the connection.
- after first RTO, tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() clamps second RTO
to 1 jiffy due to bogus tp->retrans_stamp.
- on clamped RTO with non-zero icsk_retransmits, retransmits_timed_out()
sets start_ts from tp->retrans_stamp from TFO payload retransmit
hours/days ago, and computes bogus long elapsed time for loss recovery,
and suffers ETIMEDOUT early.

tcp: defer shutdown(SEND_SHUTDOWN) for TCP_SYN_RECV sockets

2024-05-03T02:01:59+00:00

TCP_SYN_RECV state is really special, it is only used by
cross-syn connections, mostly used by fuzzers.

In the following crash [1], syzbot managed to trigger a divide
by zero in tcp_rcv_space_adjust()

A socket makes the following state transitions,
without ever calling tcp_init_transfer(),
meaning tcp_init_buffer_space() is also not called.

         TCP_CLOSE
connect()
         TCP_SYN_SENT
         TCP_SYN_RECV
shutdown() -> tcp_shutdown(sk, SEND_SHUTDOWN)
         TCP_FIN_WAIT1

To fix this issue, change tcp_shutdown() to not
perform a TCP_SYN_RECV -> TCP_FIN_WAIT1 transition,
which makes no sense anyway.

When tcp_rcv_state_process() later changes socket state
from TCP_SYN_RECV to TCP_ESTABLISH, then look at
sk->sk_shutdown to finally enter TCP_FIN_WAIT1 state,
and send a FIN packet from a sane socket state.

This means tcp_send_fin() can now be called from BH
context, and must use GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

tcp: Add new args for cong_control in tcp_congestion_ops

2024-05-02T23:26:56+00:00

This patch adds two new arguments for cong_control of struct
tcp_congestion_ops:
 - ack
 - flag
These two arguments are inherited from the caller tcp_cong_control in
tcp_intput.c. One use case of them is to update cwnd and pacing rate
inside cong_control based on the info they provide. For example, the
flag can be used to decide if it is the right time to raise or reduce a
sender's cwnd.
