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_bbr: fix quantization code to not raise cwnd if not probing bandwidth

2019-09-27T18:37:50+00:00

There was a bug in the previous logic that attempted to ensure gain cycling
gets inflight above BDP even for small BDPs. This code correctly raised and
lowered target inflight values during the gain cycle. And this code
correctly ensured that cwnd was raised when probing bandwidth. However, it
did not correspondingly ensure that cwnd was *not* raised in this way when
*not* probing for bandwidth. The result was that small-BDP flows that were
always cwnd-bound could go for many cycles with a fixed cwnd, and not probe
or yield bandwidth at all. This meant that multiple small-BDP flows could
fail to converge in their bandwidth allocations.

tcp: honor SO_PRIORITY in TIME_WAIT state

2019-09-27T10:05:02+00:00

ctl packets sent on behalf of TIME_WAIT sockets currently
have a zero skb->priority, which can cause various problems.

In this patch we :

- add a tw_priority field in struct inet_timewait_sock.

- populate it from sk->sk_priority when a TIME_WAIT is created.

- For IPv4, change ip_send_unicast_reply() and its two
  callers to propagate tw_priority correctly.
  ip_send_unicast_reply() no longer changes sk->sk_priority.

- For IPv6, make sure TIME_WAIT sockets pass their tw_priority
  field to tcp_v6_send_response() and tcp_v6_send_ack().

ipv4: Revert removal of rt_uses_gateway

2019-09-21T01:23:33+00:00

Julian noted that rt_uses_gateway has a more subtle use than 'is gateway
set':
    https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/alpine.LFD.2.21.1909151104060.2546@ja.home.ssi.bg/

Revert that part of the commit referenced in the Fixes tag.

Currently, there are no u8 holes in 'struct rtable'. There is a 4-byte hole
in the second cacheline which contains the gateway declaration. So move
rt_gw_family down to the gateway declarations since they are always used
together, and then re-use that u8 for rt_uses_gateway. End result is that
rtable size is unchanged.

tcp: Add snd_wnd to TCP_INFO

2019-09-16T14:26:11+00:00

Neal Cardwell mentioned that snd_wnd would be useful for diagnosing TCP
performance problems --

This serves the purpose of adding an additional __u32 to avoid the
would-be hole caused by the addition of the tcpi_rcvi_ooopack field.

tcp: Add TCP_INFO counter for packets received out-of-order

2019-09-16T14:26:11+00:00

For receive-heavy cases on the server-side, we want to track the
connection quality for individual client IPs. This counter, similar to
the existing system-wide TCPOFOQueue counter in /proc/net/netstat,
tracks out-of-order packet reception. By providing this counter in
TCP_INFO, it will allow understanding to what degree receive-heavy
sockets are experiencing out-of-order delivery and packet drops
indicating congestion.

Please note that this is similar to the counter in NetBSD TCP_INFO, and
has the same name.

Also note that we avoid increasing the size of the tcp_sock struct by
taking advantage of a hole.
