2d2517ee31 tcp: fix reordering SNMP under-counting
Currently the reordering SNMP counters only increase if a connection
sees a higher degree then it has previously seen. It ignores if the
reordering degree is not greater than the default system threshold.
This significantly under-counts the number of reordering events
and falsely convey that reordering is rare on the network.

This patch properly and faithfully records the number of reordering
events detected by the TCP stack, just like the comment says "this
exciting event is worth to be remembered". Note that even so TCP
still under-estimate the actual reordering events because TCP
requires TS options or certain packet sequences to detect reordering
(i.e. ACKing never-retransmitted sequence in recovery or disordered
 state).

Define one new macro TCP_MAX_WSCALE instead of literal number '14',

0b9aefea86 tcp: minimize false-positives on TCP/GRO check
Markus Trippelsdorf reported that after commit dcb17d22e1 ("tcp: warn
on bogus MSS and try to amend it") the kernel started logging the
warning for a NIC driver that doesn't even support GRO.

It was diagnosed that it was possibly caused on connections that were
using TCP Timestamps but some packets lacked the Timestamps option. As
we reduce rcv_mss when timestamps are used, the lack of them would cause
the packets to be bigger than expected, although this is a valid case.

As this warning is more as a hint, getting a clean-cut on the
threshold is probably not worth the execution time spent on it. This
patch thus alleviates the false-positives with 2 quick checks: by
accounting for the entire TCP option space and also checking against the
interface MTU if it's available.

These changes, specially the MTU one, might mask some real positives,
though if they are really happening, it's possible that sooner or later
it will be triggered anyway.

4396e46187 tcp: remove tcp_tw_recycle
The tcp_tw_recycle was already broken for connections
behind NAT, since the per-destination timestamp is not
monotonically increasing for multiple machines behind
a single destination address.

After the randomization of TCP timestamp offsets
in commit 8a5bd45f6616 (tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets
for each connection), the tcp_tw_recycle is broken for all
types of connections for the same reason: the timestamps
received from a single machine is not monotonically increasing,
anymore.

Remove tcp_tw_recycle, since it is not functional. Also, remove
the PAWSPassive SNMP counter since it is only used for
tcp_tw_recycle, and simplify tcp_v4_route_req and tcp_v6_route_req
since the strict argument is only set when tcp_tw_recycle is
enabled.

d82bae12dc tcp: remove per-destination timestamp cache
Commit 8a5bd45f6616 (tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connection)
randomizes TCP timestamps per connection. After this commit,
there is no guarantee that the timestamps received from the
same destination are monotonically increasing. As a result,
the per-destination timestamp cache in TCP metrics (i.e., tcpm_ts
in struct tcp_metrics_block) is broken and cannot be relied upon.

Remove the per-destination timestamp cache and all related code
paths.

Note that this cache was already broken for caching timestamps of
multiple machines behind a NAT sharing the same address.

449809a66c tcp/dccp: block BH for SYN processing
SYN processing really was meant to be handled from BH.

When I got rid of BH blocking while processing socket backlog
in commit 5413d1babe ("net: do not block BH while processing socket
backlog"), I forgot that a malicious user could transition to TCP_LISTEN
from a state that allowed (SYN) packets to be parked in the socket
backlog while socket is owned by the thread doing the listen() call.

Sure enough syzkaller found this and reported the bug ;)

60b1af3300 tcp: reduce skb overhead in selected places
tcp_add_backlog() can use skb_condense() helper to get better
gains and less SKB_TRUESIZE() magic. This only happens when socket
backlog has to be used.

Some attacks involve specially crafted out of order tiny TCP packets,
clogging the ofo queue of (many) sockets.
Then later, expensive collapse happens, trying to copy all these skbs
into single ones.
This unfortunately does not work if each skb has no neighbor in TCP
sequence order.

By using skb_condense() if the skb could not be coalesced to a prior
one, we defeat these kind of threats, potentially saving 4K per skb
(or more, since this is one page fragment).

A typical NAPI driver allocates gro packets with GRO_MAX_HEAD bytes
in skb->head, meaning the copy done by skb_condense() is limited to
about 200 bytes.

0e40f4c959 tcp: accept RST for rcv_nxt - 1 after receiving a FIN
Using a Mac OSX box as a client connecting to a Linux server, we have found
that when certain applications (such as 'ab'), are abruptly terminated
(via ^C), a FIN is sent followed by a RST packet on tcp connections. The
FIN is accepted by the Linux stack but the RST is sent with the same
sequence number as the FIN, and Linux responds with a challenge ACK per
RFC 5961. The OSX client then sometimes (they are rate-limited) does not
reply with any RST as would be expected on a closed socket.

This results in sockets accumulating on the Linux server left mostly in
the CLOSE_WAIT state, although LAST_ACK and CLOSING are also possible.
This sequence of events can tie up a lot of resources on the Linux server
since there may be a lot of data in write buffers at the time of the RST.
Accepting a RST equal to rcv_nxt - 1, after we have already successfully
processed a FIN, has made a significant difference for us in practice, by
freeing up unneeded resources in a more expedient fashion.

A packetdrill test demonstrating the behavior:

// testing mac osx rst behavior

// Establish a connection
0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
0.000 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
0.000 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
0.000 listen(3, 1) = 0

// Client closes the connection

94bdc9785a tcp: disable fack by default
This patch disables FACK by default as RACK is the successor of FACK
(inspired by the insights behind FACK).

FACK[1] in Linux works as follows: a packet P is deemed lost,
if packet Q of higher sequence is s/acked and P and Q are distant
by at least dupthresh number of packets in sequence space.

FACK is more aggressive than the IETF recommened recovery for SACK
(RFC3517 A Conservative Selective Acknowledgment (SACK)-based Loss
 Recovery Algorithm for TCP), because a single SACK may trigger
fast recovery. This obviously won't work well with reordering so
FACK is dynamically disabled upon detecting reordering.

RACK supersedes FACK by using time distance instead of sequence
distance. On reordering, RACK waits for a quarter of RTT receiving
a single SACK before starting recovery. (the timer can be made more
adaptive in the future by measuring reordering distance in time,
but currently RTT/4 seem to work well.) Once the recovery starts,
RACK behaves almost like FACK because it reduces the reodering
window to 1ms, so it fast retransmits quickly. In addition RACK
can detect loss retransmission as it does not care about the packet
sequences (being repeated or not), which is extremely useful when
the connection is going through a traffic policer.

Google server experiments indicate that disabling FACK after enabling
RACK has negligible impact on the overall loss recovery performance
with more reordering events detected.  But we still keep the FACK
implementation for backup if RACK has bugs that needs to be disabled.

4a7f600944 tcp: remove thin_dupack feature
Thin stream DUPACK is to start fast recovery on only one DUPACK
provided the connection is a thin stream (i.e., low inflight).  But
this older feature is now subsumed with RACK. If a connection
receives only a single DUPACK, RACK would arm a reordering timer
and soon starts fast recovery instead of timeout if no further
ACKs are received.

The socket option (THIN_DUPACK) is kept as a nop for compatibility.
Note that this patch does not change another thin-stream feature
which enables linear RTO. Although it might be good to generalize
that in the future (i.e., linear RTO for the first say 3 retries).

ac229dca7e tcp: remove RFC4653 NCR
This patch removes the (partial) implementation of the aggressive
limited transmit in RFC4653 TCP Non-Congestion Robustness (NCR).

NCR is a mitigation to the problem created by the dynamic
DUPACK threshold.  With the current adaptive DUPACK threshold
(tp->reordering) could cause timeouts by preventing fast recovery.
For example, if the last packet of a cwnd burst was reordered, the
threshold will be set to the size of cwnd. But if next application
burst is smaller than threshold and has drops instead of reorderings,
the sender would not trigger fast recovery but instead resorts to a
timeout recovery.

NCR mitigates this issue by checking the number of DUPACKs against
the current flight size additionally. The techniqueue is similar to
the early retransmit RFC.

With RACK loss detection, this mitigation is not needed, because RACK
does not use DUPACK threshold to detect losses. RACK arms a reordering
timer to fire at most a quarter RTT later to start fast recovery.

bec41a11dd tcp: remove early retransmit
This patch removes the support of RFC5827 early retransmit (i.e.,
fast recovery on small inflight with <3 dupacks) because it is
subsumed by the new RACK loss detection. More specifically when
RACK receives DUPACKs, it'll arm a reordering timer to start fast
recovery after a quarter of (min)RTT, hence it covers the early
retransmit except RACK does not limit itself to specific inflight
or dupack numbers.

840a3cbe89 tcp: remove forward retransmit feature
Forward retransmit is an esoteric feature in RFC3517 (condition(3)
in the NextSeg()). Basically if a packet is not considered lost by
the current criteria (# of dupacks etc), but the congestion window
has room for more packets, then retransmit this packet.

However it actually conflicts with the rest of recovery design. For
example, when reordering is detected we want to be conservative
in retransmitting packets but forward-retransmit feature would
break that to force more retransmission. Also the implementation is
fairly complicated inside the retransmission logic inducing extra
iterations in the write queue. With RACK losses are being detected
timely and this heuristic is no longer necessary. There this patch
removes the feature.

89fe18e44f tcp: extend F-RTO to catch more spurious timeouts
Current F-RTO reverts cwnd reset whenever a never-retransmitted
packet was (s)acked. The timeout can be declared spurious because
the packets acknoledged with this ACK was transmitted before the
timeout, so clearly not all the packets are lost to reset the cwnd.

This nice detection does not really depend F-RTO internals. This
patch applies the detection universally. On Google servers this
change detected 20% more spurious timeouts.

This patch changes two things:

1. Start fast recovery with RACK in addition to other heuristics
   (e.g., DUPACK threshold, FACK). Prior to this change RACK
   is enabled to detect losses only after the recovery has
   started by other algorithms.

2. Disable TCP early retransmit. RACK subsumes the early retransmit
   with the new reordering timer feature. A latter patch in this

98e36d449c tcp: check undo conditions before detecting losses
Currently RACK would mark loss before the undo operations in TCP
loss recovery. This could incorrectly identify real losses as
spurious. For example a sender first experiences a delay spike and
then eventually some packets were lost due to buffer overrun.
In this case, the sender should perform fast recovery b/c not all
the packets were lost.

But the sender may first trigger a (spurious) RTO and reset
cwnd to 1. The following ACKs may used to mark real losses by
tcp_rack_mark_lost. Then in tcp_process_loss this ACK could trigger
F-RTO undo condition and unmark real losses and revert the cwnd
reduction. If there are no more ACKs coming back, eventually the
sender would timeout again instead of performing fast recovery.

The patch fixes this incorrect process by always performing
the undo checks before detecting losses.

1d0833df59 tcp: use sequence to break TS ties for RACK loss detection
The packets inside a jumbo skb (e.g., TSO) share the same skb
timestamp, even though they are sent sequentially on the wire. Since
RACK is based on time, it can not detect some packets inside the
same skb are lost.  However, we can leverage the packet sequence
numbers as extended timestamps to detect losses. Therefore, when
RACK timestamp is identical to skb's timestamp (i.e., one of the
packets of the skb is acked or sacked), we use the sequence numbers
of the acked and unacked packets to break ties.

We can use the same sequence logic to advance RACK xmit time as
well to detect more losses and avoid timeout.

57dde7f70d tcp: add reordering timer in RACK loss detection
This patch makes RACK install a reordering timer when it suspects
some packets might be lost, but wants to delay the decision
a little bit to accomodate reordering.

It does not create a new timer but instead repurposes the existing
RTO timer, because both are meant to retransmit packets.
Specifically it arms a timer ICSK_TIME_REO_TIMEOUT when
the RACK timing check fails. The wait time is set to

  RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd - (NOW - Packet.xmit_time) + fudge

This translates to expecting a packet (Packet) should take
(RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd + fudge) to deliver after it was sent.

When there are multiple packets that need a timer, we use one timer
with the maximum timeout. Therefore the timer conservatively uses
the maximum window to expire N packets by one timeout, instead of
N timeouts to expire N packets sent at different times.

The fudge factor is 2 jiffies to ensure when the timer fires, all
the suspected packets would exceed the deadline and be marked lost
by tcp_rack_detect_loss(). It has to be at least 1 jiffy because the
clock may tick between calling icsk_reset_xmit_timer(timeout) and
actually hang the timer. The next jiffy is to lower-bound the timeout
to 2 jiffies when reo_wnd is < 1ms.

When the reordering timer fires (tcp_rack_reo_timeout): If we aren't
in Recovery we'll enter fast recovery and force fast retransmit.
This is very similar to the early retransmit (RFC5827) except RACK
is not constrained to only enter recovery for small outstanding
flights.

deed7be78f tcp: record most recent RTT in RACK loss detection
Record the most recent RTT in RACK. It is often identical to the
"ca_rtt_us" values in tcp_clean_rtx_queue. But when the packet has
been retransmitted, RACK choses to believe the ACK is for the
(latest) retransmitted packet if the RTT is over minimum RTT.

This requires passing the arrival time of the most recent ACK to
RACK routines. The timestamp is now recorded in the "ack_time"
in tcp_sacktag_state during the ACK processing.

This patch does not change the RACK algorithm itself. It only adds
the RTT variable to prepare the next main patch.

dcb17d22e1 tcp: warn on bogus MSS and try to amend it
There have been some reports lately about TCP connection stalls caused
by NIC drivers that aren't setting gso_size on aggregated packets on rx
path. This causes TCP to assume that the MSS is actually the size of the
aggregated packet, which is invalid.

Although the proper fix is to be done at each driver, it's often hard
and cumbersome for one to debug, come to such root cause and report/fix
it.

This patch amends this situation in two ways. First, it adds a warning
on when this situation occurs, so it gives a hint to those trying to
debug this. It also limit the maximum probed MSS to the adverised MSS,
as it should never be any higher than that.

The result is that the connection may not have the best performance ever
but it shouldn't stall, and the admin will have a hint on what to look
for.

Tested with virtio by forcing gso_size to 0.

v2: updated msg per David's suggestion
v3: use skb_iif to find the interface and also log its name, per Eric
    Dumazet's suggestion. As the skb may be backlogged and the interface
    gone by then, we need to check if the number still has a meaning.
v4: use helper tcp_gro_dev_warn() and avoid pr_warn_once inside __once, per
    David's suggestion

95a22caee3 tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connection
jiffies based timestamps allow for easy inference of number of devices
behind NAT translators and also makes tracking of hosts simpler.

commit ceaa1fef65 ("tcp: adding a per-socket timestamp offset")
added the main infrastructure that is needed for per-connection ts
randomization, in particular writing/reading the on-wire tcp header
format takes the offset into account so rest of stack can use normal
tcp_time_stamp (jiffies).

So only two items are left:
 - add a tsoffset for request sockets
 - extend the tcp isn generator to also return another 32bit number
   in addition to the ISN.

Re-use of ISN generator also means timestamps are still monotonically
increasing for same connection quadruple, i.e. PAWS will still work.

b0f71bd3e1 tcp: instrument how long TCP is limited by insufficient send buffer
This patch measures the amount of time when TCP runs out of new data
to send to the network due to insufficient send buffer, while TCP
is still busy delivering (i.e. write queue is not empty). The goal
is to indicate either the send buffer autotuning or user SO_SNDBUF
setting has resulted network under-utilization.

The measurement starts conservatively by checking various conditions
to minimize false claims (i.e. under-estimation is more likely).
The measurement stops when the SOCK_NOSPACE flag is cleared. But it
does not account the time elapsed till the next application write.
Also the measurement only starts if the sender is still busy sending
data, s.t. the limit accounted is part of the total busy time.

Note the busy time does not include SYN time, unless data is

if the FIN carries no payload. Excluding pure FIN is possible but
would incur one additional test in the fast path, which may not

7a682575ad netfilter: xt_socket: fix transparent match for IPv6 request sockets
The introduction of TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV state, and the addition of request
sockets to the ehash table seems to have broken the --transparent option
of the socket match for IPv6 (around commit a9407000).

Now that the socket lookup finds the TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV socket instead of the
listener, the --transparent option tries to match on the no_srccheck flag
of the request socket.

Unfortunately, that flag was only set for IPv4 sockets in tcp_v4_init_req()
by copying the transparent flag of the listener socket. This effectively
causes '-m socket --transparent' not match on the ACK packet sent by the
client in a TCP handshake.

Based on the suggestion from Eric Dumazet, this change moves the code
initializing no_srccheck to tcp_conn_request(), rendering the above
scenario working again.

c0402760f5 tcp: new CC hook to set sending rate with rate_sample in any CA state
This commit introduces an optional new "omnipotent" hook,
cong_control(), for congestion control modules. The cong_control()
function is called at the end of processing an ACK (i.e., after
updating sequence numbers, the SACK scoreboard, and loss
detection). At that moment we have precise delivery rate information
the congestion control module can use to control the sending behavior
(using cwnd, TSO skb size, and pacing rate) in any CA state.

This function can also be used by a congestion control that prefers
not to use the default cwnd reduction approach (i.e., the PRR
algorithm) during CA_Recovery to control the cwnd and sending rate
during loss recovery.

We take advantage of the fact that recent changes defer the
retransmission or transmission of new data (e.g. by F-RTO) in recovery
until the new tcp_cong_control() function is run.

With this commit, we only run tcp_update_pacing_rate() if the
congestion control is not using this new API. New congestion controls
which use the new API do not want the TCP stack to run the default
pacing rate calculation and overwrite whatever pacing rate they have
chosen at initialization time.

77bfc174c3 tcp: allow congestion control to expand send buffer differently
Currently the TCP send buffer expands to twice cwnd, in order to allow
limited transmits in the CA_Recovery state. This assumes that cwnd
does not increase in the CA_Recovery.

For some congestion control algorithms, like the upcoming BBR module,
if the losses in recovery do not indicate congestion then we may
continue to raise cwnd multiplicatively in recovery. In such cases the
current multiplier will falsely limit the sending rate, much as if it
were limited by the application.

This commit adds an optional congestion control callback to use a
different multiplier to expand the TCP send buffer. For congestion
control modules that do not specificy this callback, TCP continues to
use the previous default of 2.

b9f64820fb tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connection
This patch generates data delivery rate (throughput) samples on a
per-ACK basis. These rate samples can be used by congestion control
modules, and specifically will be used by TCP BBR in later patches in
this series.

Key state:

tp->delivered: Tracks the total number of data packets (original or not)
	       delivered so far. This is an already-existing field.

tp->delivered_mstamp: the last time tp->delivered was updated.

Algorithm:

A rate sample is calculated as (d1 - d0)/(t1 - t0) on a per-ACK basis:

  d1: the current tp->delivered after processing the ACK
  t1: the current time after processing the ACK

  d0: the prior tp->delivered when the acked skb was transmitted
  t0: the prior tp->delivered_mstamp when the acked skb was transmitted

When an skb is transmitted, we snapshot d0 and t0 in its control
block in tcp_rate_skb_sent().

When an ACK arrives, it may SACK and ACK some skbs. For each SACKed
or ACKed skb, tcp_rate_skb_delivered() updates the rate_sample struct
to reflect the latest (d0, t0).

Finally, tcp_rate_gen() generates a rate sample by storing
(d1 - d0) in rs->delivered and (t1 - t0) in rs->interval_us.

One caveat: if an skb was sent with no packets in flight, then
tp->delivered_mstamp may be either invalid (if the connection is
starting) or outdated (if the connection was idle). In that case,
we'll re-stamp tp->delivered_mstamp.

At first glance it seems t0 should always be the time when an skb was
transmitted, but actually this could over-estimate the rate due to
phase mismatch between transmit and ACK events. To track the delivery
rate, we ensure that if packets are in flight then t0 and and t1 are
times at which packets were marked delivered.

If the initial and final RTTs are different then one may be corrupted
by some sort of noise. The noise we see most often is sending gaps
caused by delayed, compressed, or stretched acks. This either affects
both RTTs equally or artificially reduces the final RTT. We approach
this by recording the info we need to compute the initial RTT
(duration of the "send phase" of the window) when we recorded the
associated inflight. Then, for a filter to avoid bandwidth
overestimates, we generalize the per-sample bandwidth computation
from:

    bw = delivered / ack_phase_rtt

to the following:

    bw = delivered / max(send_phase_rtt, ack_phase_rtt)

In large-scale experiments, this filtering approach incorporating
send_phase_rtt is effective at avoiding bandwidth overestimates due to
ACK compression or stretched ACKs.

0682e6902a tcp: count packets marked lost for a TCP connection
Count the number of packets that a TCP connection marks lost.

Congestion control modules can use this loss rate information for more
intelligent decisions about how fast to send.

Specifically, this is used in TCP BBR policer detection. BBR uses a
high packet loss rate as one signal in its policer detection and
policer bandwidth estimation algorithm.

The BBR policer detection algorithm cannot simply track retransmits,
because a retransmit can be (and often is) an indicator of packets
lost long, long ago. This is particularly true in a long CA_Loss
period that repairs the initial massive losses when a policer kicks
in.

6403389211 tcp: use windowed min filter library for TCP min_rtt estimation
Refactor the TCP min_rtt code to reuse the new win_minmax library in
lib/win_minmax.c to simplify the TCP code.

This is a pure refactor: the functionality is exactly the same. We
just moved the windowed min code to make TCP easier to read and
maintain, and to allow other parts of the kernel to use the windowed
min/max filter code.

76f0dcbb5a tcp: fix a stale ooo_last_skb after a replace
When skb replaces another one in ooo queue, I forgot to also
update tp->ooo_last_skb as well, if the replaced skb was the last one
in the queue.

To fix this, we simply can re-use the code that runs after an insertion,
trying to merge skbs at the right of current skb.

This not only fixes the bug, but also remove all small skbs that might
be a subset of the new one.

Example:

We receive segments 2001:3001,  4001:5001

Then we receive 2001:8001 : We should replace 2001:3001 with the big
skb, but also remove 4001:50001 from the queue to save space.

packetdrill test demonstrating the bug

0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
