tcp: Fix highest_sack and highest_sack_seq

2019-12-31T04:28:39+00:00

>From commit 50895b9de1d3 ("tcp: highest_sack fix"), the logic about
setting tp->highest_sack to the head of the send queue was removed.
Of course the logic is error prone, but it is logical. Before we
remove the pointer to the highest sack skb and use the seq instead,
we need to set tp->highest_sack to NULL when there is no skb after
the last sack, and then replace NULL with the real skb when new skb
inserted into the rtx queue, because the NULL means the highest sack
seq is tp->snd_nxt. If tp->highest_sack is NULL and new data sent,
the next ACK with sack option will increase tp->reordering unexpectedly.

This patch sets tp->highest_sack to the tail of the rtx queue if
it's NULL and new data is sent. The patch keeps the rule that the
highest_sack can only be maintained by sack processing, except for
this only case.

vti: do not confirm neighbor when do pmtu update

2019-12-25T06:28:55+00:00

When do IPv6 tunnel PMTU update and calls __ip6_rt_update_pmtu() in the end,
we should not call dst_confirm_neigh() as there is no two-way communication.

Although vti and vti6 are immune to this problem because they are IFF_NOARP
interfaces, as Guillaume pointed. There is still no sense to confirm neighbour
here.

v5: Update commit description.
v4: No change.
v3: Do not remove dst_confirm_neigh, but add a new bool parameter in
    dst_ops.update_pmtu to control whether we should do neighbor confirm.
    Also split the big patch to small ones for each area.
v2: Remove dst_confirm_neigh in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu.

net: add bool confirm_neigh parameter for dst_ops.update_pmtu

2019-12-25T06:28:54+00:00

The MTU update code is supposed to be invoked in response to real
networking events that update the PMTU. In IPv6 PMTU update function
__ip6_rt_update_pmtu() we called dst_confirm_neigh() to update neighbor
confirmed time.

But for tunnel code, it will call pmtu before xmit, like:
  - tnl_update_pmtu()
    - skb_dst_update_pmtu()
      - ip6_rt_update_pmtu()
        - __ip6_rt_update_pmtu()
          - dst_confirm_neigh()

If the tunnel remote dst mac address changed and we still do the neigh
confirm, we will not be able to update neigh cache and ping6 remote
will failed.

So for this ip_tunnel_xmit() case, _EVEN_ if the MTU is changed, we
should not be invoking dst_confirm_neigh() as we have no evidence
of successful two-way communication at this point.

On the other hand it is also important to keep the neigh reachability fresh
for TCP flows, so we cannot remove this dst_confirm_neigh() call.

To fix the issue, we have to add a new bool parameter for dst_ops.update_pmtu
to choose whether we should do neigh update or not. I will add the parameter
in this patch and set all the callers to true to comply with the previous
way, and fix the tunnel code one by one on later patches.

v5: No change.
v4: No change.
v3: Do not remove dst_confirm_neigh, but add a new bool parameter in
    dst_ops.update_pmtu to control whether we should do neighbor confirm.
    Also split the big patch to small ones for each area.
v2: Remove dst_confirm_neigh in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu.

udp: fix integer overflow while computing available space in sk_rcvbuf

2019-12-24T22:52:39+00:00

When the size of the receive buffer for a socket is close to 2^31 when
computing if we have enough space in the buffer to copy a packet from
the queue to the buffer we might hit an integer overflow.

When an user set net.core.rmem_default to a value close to 2^31 UDP
packets are dropped because of this overflow. This can be visible, for
instance, with failure to resolve hostnames.

This can be fixed by casting sk_rcvbuf (which is an int) to unsigned
int, similarly to how it is done in TCP.

net: annotate lockless accesses to sk->sk_pacing_shift

2019-12-18T06:09:52+00:00

sk->sk_pacing_shift can be read and written without lock
synchronization. This patch adds annotations to
document this fact and avoid future syzbot complains.

This might also avoid unexpected false sharing
in sk_pacing_shift_update(), as the compiler
could remove the conditional check and always
write over sk->sk_pacing_shift :

if (sk->sk_pacing_shift != val)
	sk->sk_pacing_shift = val;

tcp: refine rule to allow EPOLLOUT generation under mem pressure

2019-12-14T05:58:40+00:00

At the time commit ce5ec440994b ("tcp: ensure epoll edge trigger
wakeup when write queue is empty") was added to the kernel,
we still had a single write queue, combining rtx and write queues.

Once we moved the rtx queue into a separate rb-tree, testing
if sk_write_queue is empty has been suboptimal.

Indeed, if we have packets in the rtx queue, we probably want
to delay the EPOLLOUT generation at the time incoming packets
will free them, making room, but more importantly avoiding
flooding application with EPOLLOUT events.

Solution is to use tcp_rtx_and_write_queues_empty() helper.

tcp: refine tcp_write_queue_empty() implementation

2019-12-14T05:58:40+00:00

Due to how tcp_sendmsg() is implemented, we can have an empty
skb at the tail of the write queue.

Most [1] tcp_write_queue_empty() callers want to know if there is
anything to send (payload and/or FIN)

Instead of checking if the sk_write_queue is empty, we need
to test if tp->write_seq == tp->snd_nxt

[1] tcp_send_fin() was the only caller that expected to
 see if an skb was in the write queue, I have changed the code
 to reuse the tcp_write_queue_tail() result.

tcp: do not send empty skb from tcp_write_xmit()

2019-12-14T05:58:40+00:00

Backport of commit fdfc5c8594c2 ("tcp: remove empty skb from
write queue in error cases") in linux-4.14 stable triggered
various bugs. One of them has been fixed in commit ba2ddb43f270
("tcp: Don't dequeue SYN/FIN-segments from write-queue"), but
we still have crashes in some occasions.

Root-cause is that when tcp_sendmsg() has allocated a fresh
skb and could not append a fragment before being blocked
in sk_stream_wait_memory(), tcp_write_xmit() might be called
and decide to send this fresh and empty skb.

Sending an empty packet is not only silly, it might have caused
many issues we had in the past with tp->packets_out being
out of sync.
