tcp_cubic: fix spurious HYSTART_DELAY exit upon drop in min RTT

2020-06-25T23:08:47+00:00

Mirja Kuehlewind reported a bug in Linux TCP CUBIC Hystart, where
Hystart HYSTART_DELAY mechanism can exit Slow Start spuriously on an
ACK when the minimum rtt of a connection goes down. From inspection it
is clear from the existing code that this could happen in an example
like the following:

o The first 8 RTT samples in a round trip are 150ms, resulting in a
  curr_rtt of 150ms and a delay_min of 150ms.

o The 9th RTT sample is 100ms. The curr_rtt does not change after the
  first 8 samples, so curr_rtt remains 150ms. But delay_min can be
  lowered at any time, so delay_min falls to 100ms. The code executes
  the HYSTART_DELAY comparison between curr_rtt of 150ms and delay_min
  of 100ms, and the curr_rtt is declared far enough above delay_min to
  force a (spurious) exit of Slow start.

The fix here is simple: allow every RTT sample in a round trip to
lower the curr_rtt.

====================
Netfilter fixes for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net, they are:

1) Unaligned atomic access in ipset, from Russell King.

2) Missing module description, from Rob Gill.

3) Patches to fix a module unload causing NULL pointer dereference in
   xtables, from David Wilder. For the record, I posting here his cover
   letter explaining the problem:

    A crash happened on ppc64le when running ltp network tests triggered by
    "rmmod iptable_mangle".

    See previous discussion in this thread:
    https://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2020/06/03/161 .

    In the crash I found in iptable_mangle_hook() that
    state->net->ipv4.iptable_mangle=NULL causing a NULL pointer dereference.
    net->ipv4.iptable_mangle is set to NULL in +iptable_mangle_net_exit() and
    called when ip_mangle modules is unloaded. A rmmod task was found running
    in the crash dump.  A 2nd crash showed the same problem when running
    "rmmod iptable_filter" (net->ipv4.iptable_filter=NULL).

    To fix this I added .pre_exit hook in all iptable_foo.c. The pre_exit will
    un-register the underlying hook and exit would do the table freeing. The
    netns core does an unconditional +synchronize_rcu after the pre_exit hooks
    insuring no packets are in flight that have picked up the pointer before
    completing the un-register.

    These patches include changes for both iptables and ip6tables.

    We tested this fix with ltp running iptables01.sh and iptables01.sh -6 a
    loop for 72 hours.

4) Add a selftest for conntrack helper assignment, from Florian Westphal.

tcp: don't ignore ECN CWR on pure ACK

2020-06-25T19:20:24+00:00

there is a problem with the CWR flag set in an incoming ACK segment
and it leads to the situation when the ECE flag is latched forever

the following packetdrill script shows what happens:

// Stack receives incoming segments with CE set
+0.1 <[ect0]  . 11001:12001(1000) ack 1001 win 65535
+0.0 <[ce]    . 12001:13001(1000) ack 1001 win 65535
+0.0 <[ect0] P. 13001:14001(1000) ack 1001 win 65535

// Stack repsonds with ECN ECHO
+0.0 >[noecn]  . 1001:1001(0) ack 12001
+0.0 >[noecn] E. 1001:1001(0) ack 13001
+0.0 >[noecn] E. 1001:1001(0) ack 14001

// Write a packet
+0.1 write(3, ..., 1000) = 1000
+0.0 >[ect0] PE. 1001:2001(1000) ack 14001

// Pure ACK received
+0.01 <[noecn] W. 14001:14001(0) ack 2001 win 65535

// Since CWR was sent, this packet should NOT have ECE set

+0.1 write(3, ..., 1000) = 1000
+0.0 >[ect0]  P. 2001:3001(1000) ack 14001
// but Linux will still keep ECE latched here, with packetdrill
// flagging a missing ECE flag, expecting
// >[ect0] PE. 2001:3001(1000) ack 14001
// in the script

In the situation above we will continue to send ECN ECHO packets
and trigger the peer to reduce the congestion window. To avoid that
we can check CWR on pure ACKs received.

v3:
- Add a sequence check to avoid sending an ACK to an ACK

v2:
- Adjusted the comment
- move CWR check before checking for unacknowledged packets

ip_tunnel: fix use-after-free in ip_tunnel_lookup()

2020-06-19T03:12:34+00:00

In the datapath, the ip_tunnel_lookup() is used and it internally uses
fallback tunnel device pointer, which is fb_tunnel_dev.
This pointer variable should be set to NULL when a fb interface is deleted.
But there is no routine to set fb_tunnel_dev pointer to NULL.
So, this pointer will be still used after interface is deleted and
it eventually results in the use-after-free problem.

Test commands:
    ip netns add A
    ip netns add B
    ip link add eth0 type veth peer name eth1
    ip link set eth0 netns A
    ip link set eth1 netns B

    ip netns exec A ip link set lo up
    ip netns exec A ip link set eth0 up
    ip netns exec A ip link add gre1 type gre local 10.0.0.1 \
	    remote 10.0.0.2
    ip netns exec A ip link set gre1 up
    ip netns exec A ip a a 10.0.100.1/24 dev gre1
    ip netns exec A ip a a 10.0.0.1/24 dev eth0

    ip netns exec B ip link set lo up
    ip netns exec B ip link set eth1 up
    ip netns exec B ip link add gre1 type gre local 10.0.0.2 \
	    remote 10.0.0.1
    ip netns exec B ip link set gre1 up
    ip netns exec B ip a a 10.0.100.2/24 dev gre1
