When removing sk_refcnt manipulation on synflood, I missed that
using skb_set_owner_w() was racy, if sk->sk_wmem_alloc had already
transitioned to 0.

We should hold sk_refcnt instead, but this is a big deal under attack.
(Doing so increase performance from 3.2 Mpps to 3.8 Mpps only)

In this patch, I chose to not attach a socket to syncookies skb.

Performance is now 5 Mpps instead of 3.2 Mpps.

Following patch will remove last known false sharing in
tcp_rcv_state_process()

Per RFC4898, they count segments sent/received
containing a positive length data segment (that includes
retransmission segments carrying data).  Unlike
tcpi_segs_out/in, tcpi_data_segs_out/in excludes segments
carrying no data (e.g. pure ack).

The patch also updates the segs_in in tcp_fastopen_add_skb()
so that segs_in >= data_segs_in property is kept.

Together with retransmission data, tcpi_data_segs_out
gives a better signal on the rxmit rate.

v6: Rebase on the latest net-next

v5: Eric pointed out that checking skb->len is still needed in
tcp_fastopen_add_skb() because skb can carry a FIN without data.
Hence, instead of open coding segs_in and data_segs_in, tcp_segs_in()
helper is used.  Comment is added to the fastopen case to explain why
segs_in has to be reset and tcp_segs_in() has to be called before
__skb_pull().

v4: Add comment to the changes in tcp_fastopen_add_skb()
and also add remark on this case in the commit message.

v3: Add const modifier to the skb parameter in tcp_segs_in()

v2: Rework based on recent fix by Eric:

There won't be a tcp control soft limit, so integrating the memcg code
into the global skmem limiting scheme complicates things unnecessarily.
Replace this with simple and clear charge and uncharge calls--hidden
behind a jump label--to account skb memory.

Note that this is not purely aesthetic: as a result of shoehorning the
per-memcg code into the same memory accounting functions that handle the
global level, the old code would compare the per-memcg consumption
against the smaller of the per-memcg limit and the global limit.  This
allowed the total consumption of multiple sockets to exceed the global
limit, as long as the individual sockets stayed within bounds.  After
this change, the code will always compare the per-memcg consumption to
the per-memcg limit, and the global consumption to the global limit, and
thus close this loophole.

Without a soft limit, the per-memcg memory pressure state in sockets is
generally questionable.  However, we did it until now, so we continue to
enter it when the hard limit is hit, and packets are dropped, to let
other sockets in the cgroup know that they shouldn't grow their transmit
windows, either.  However, keep it simple in the new callback model and
leave memory pressure lazily when the next packet is accepted (as
opposed to doing it synchroneously when packets are processed).  When
packets are dropped, network performance will already be in the toilet,
so that should be a reasonable trade-off.

As described above, consumption is now checked on the per-memcg level
and the global level separately.  Likewise, memory pressure states are
maintained on both the per-memcg level and the global level, and a
socket is considered under pressure when either level asserts as much.

sk_gfp_atomic() can use its gfp_mask argument (all callers currently
were using GFP_ATOMIC before this patch)

We rename sk_gfp_atomic() to sk_gfp_mask() to clearly express this

Application limited streams such as thin streams, that transmit small
amounts of payload in relatively few packets per RTT, can be prevented
from growing the CWND when in congestion avoidance. This leads to
increased sojourn times for data segments in streams that often transmit
time-dependent data.

Currently, a connection is considered CWND limited only after having
successfully transmitted at least one packet with new data, while at the
same time failing to transmit some unsent data from the output queue
because the CWND is full. Applications that produce small amounts of
data may be left in a state where it is never considered to be CWND
limited, because all unsent data is successfully transmitted each time
an incoming ACK opens up for more data to be transmitted in the send
window.

Fix by always testing whether the CWND is fully used after successful
packet transmissions, such that a connection is considered CWND limited
whenever the CWND has been filled. This is the correct behavior as
specified in RFC2861 (section 3.1).

RST packets sent on behalf of TCP connections with TS option (RFC 7323
TCP timestamps) have incorrect TS val (set to 0), but correct TS ecr.

7264344], length 0

B > A: Flags [R.], seq 1, ack 1, win 28960, options [nop,nop,TS val 0
ecr 110], length 0

We need to call skb_mstamp_get() to get proper TS val,
derived from skb->skb_mstamp

Note that RFC 1323 was advocating to not send TS option in RST segment,
but RFC 7323 recommends the opposite :

  Once TSopt has been successfully negotiated, that is both <SYN> and
  <SYN,ACK> contain TSopt, the TSopt MUST be sent in every non-<RST>
  segment for the duration of the connection, and SHOULD be sent in an
  <RST> segment (see Section 5.2 for details)

Note this RFC recommends to send TS val = 0, but we believe it is
premature : We do not know if all TCP stacks are properly
handling the receive side :

   When an <RST> segment is
   received, it MUST NOT be subjected to the PAWS check by verifying an
   acceptable value in SEG.TSval, and information from the Timestamps
   option MUST NOT be used to update connection state information.
   SEG.TSecr MAY be used to provide stricter <RST> acceptance checks.

In 5 years, if/when all TCP stack are RFC 7323 ready, we might consider
to decide to send TS val = 0, if it buys something.

This patch makes TLP to use 1 sec timer by default when RTT is
not available due to SYN/ACK retransmission or SYN cookies.

Prior to this change, the lack of RTT prevents TLP so the first
data packets sent can only be recovered by fast recovery or RTO.
If the fast recovery fails to trigger the RTO is 3 second when
SYN/ACK is retransmitted. With this patch we can trigger fast
recovery in 1sec instead.

Note that we need to check Fast Open more properly. A Fast Open
connection could be (accepted then) closed before it receives
the final ACK of 3WHS so the state is FIN_WAIT_1. Without the
new check, TLP will retransmit FIN instead of SYN/ACK.

We'd like to provide one as well for SYNACK packets, so that all packets

Note that a SYNACK retransmit shuffles the tx hash, as Tom did

slow start after idle might reduce cwnd, but we perform this
after first packet was cooked and sent.

With TSO/GSO, it means that we might send a full TSO packet
even if cwnd should have been reduced to IW10.

Moving the SSAI check in skb_entail() makes sense, because
we slightly reduce number of times this check is done,
especially for large send() and TCP Small queue callbacks from
softirq context.

As Neal pointed out, we also need to perform the check
if/when receive window opens.

V1 of this patch contains Eric Dumazet's suggestion to move the per
dst RTAX_QUICKACK check into tcp_in_quickack_mode(). Thanks Eric.

I ran some tests and after setting the "ip route change quickack 1"
knob there were still many delayed ACKs sent. This occured
because when icsk_ack.quick=0 the !icsk_ack.pingpong value is
subsequently ignored as tcp_in_quickack_mode() checks both these
values. The condition for a quick ack to trigger requires
that both icsk_ack.quick != 0 and icsk_ack.pingpong=0. Currently
only icsk_ack.pingpong is controlled by the knob. But the
icsk_ack.quick value changes dynamically depending on heuristics.
The crux of the matter is that delayed acks still cannot be entirely
disabled even with the RTAX_QUICKACK per dst knob enabled. This
patch ensures that a quick ack is always sent when the RTAX_QUICKACK
per dst knob is turned on.

The "ip route change quickack 1" knob was recently added to enable
quickacks. It was modeled around the TCP_QUICKACK setsockopt() option.
This issue is that even with "ip route change quickack 1" enabled
we still see delayed ACKs under some conditions. It would be nice
to be able to completely disable delayed ACKs.

Here is an example:

# netstat -s|grep dela
    3 delayed acks sent

For all routes enable the knob

# ip route change quickack 1

Generate some traffic across a slow link and we still see the delayed

# netstat -s|grep dela
    106 delayed acks sent
    1 delayed acks further delayed because of locked socket

The issue is that both the "ip route change quickack 1" knob and
the TCP_QUICKACK option set the icsk_ack.pingpong variable to 0.
However at the business end in the __tcp_ack_snd_check() routine,
tcp_in_quickack_mode() checks that both icsk_ack.quick != 0
and icsk_ack.pingpong=0 in order to trigger a quickack. As
icsk_ack.quick is determined by heuristics it can be 0. When
that occurs the icsk_ack.pingpong value is ignored and a delayed
ACK is sent regardless.

This patch moves the RTAX_QUICKACK per dst check into the
tcp_in_quickack_mode() routine which ensures that a quickack is
always sent when the quickack knob is enabled for that dst.

We had various issues in the past when TCP stack was modifying
gso_size/gso_segs while clones were in flight.

Commit c52e2421 ("tcp: must unclone packets before mangling them")
fixed these bugs and added a WARN_ON_ONCE(skb_cloned(skb)); in
tcp_set_skb_tso_segs()

These bugs are now fixed, and because TCP stack now only sets
shinfo->gso_size|segs on the clone itself, the check can be removed.

As a result of this change, compiler inlines tcp_set_skb_tso_segs() in
tcp_init_tso_segs()

In commit cd7d8498 ("tcp: change tcp_skb_pcount() location") we stored
gso_segs in a temporary cache hot location.

This patch does the same for gso_size.

This allows to save 2 cache line misses in tcp xmit path for
the last packet that is considered but not sent because of
various conditions (cwnd, tso defer, receiver window, TSQ...)

Our goal is to touch skb_shinfo(skb) only when absolutely needed,
to avoid two cache line misses in TCP output path for last skb
that is considered but not sent because of various conditions
(cwnd, tso defer, receiver window, TSQ...)

A packet is GSO only when skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size is not zero.

We can set skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type to sk->sk_gso_type even for
non GSO packets.

Xen virtual network driver has higher latency than a physical NIC.
Having only 128K as limit for TSQ introduced 30% regression in guest
throughput.

This patch raises the limit to 256K. This reduces the regression to 8%.
This buys us more time to work out a proper solution in the long run.

By making sure sk->sk_gso_max_segs minimal value is one,
and sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs minimal value is one as well,
tcp_tso_autosize() will return a non zero value.

This patch tracks the total number of inbound and outbound segments on a
TCP socket. One may use this number to have an idea on connection
quality when compared against the retransmissions.

RFC4898 named these : tcpEStatsPerfSegsIn and tcpEStatsPerfSegsOut

These are a 32bit field each and can be fetched both from TCP_INFO
getsockopt() if one has a handle on a TCP socket, or from inet_diag
netlink facility (iproute2/ss patch will follow)

Note that tp->segs_out was placed near tp->snd_nxt for good data
locality and minimal performance impact, while tp->segs_in was placed
near tp->bytes_received for the same reason.

Note that received SYN are accounted on the listener, but sent SYNACK
are not accounted.

In commit 8e4d980a ("tcp: fix behavior for epoll edge trigger")
we fixed a possible hang of TCP sockets under memory pressure,
by allowing sk_stream_alloc_skb() to use sk_forced_mem_schedule()
if no packet is in socket write queue.

It turns out there are other cases where we want to force memory
schedule :

tcp_fragment() & tso_fragment() need to split a big TSO packet into
two smaller ones. If we block here because of TCP memory pressure,
we can effectively block TCP socket from sending new data.
If no further ACK is coming, this hang would be definitive, and socket
has no chance to effectively reduce its memory usage.

This work as a follow-up of commit f7b3bec6 ("net: allow setting ecn
via routing table") and adds RFC3168 section 6.1.1.1. fallback for outgoing
ECN connections. In other words, this work adds a retry with a non-ECN
setup SYN packet, as suggested from the RFC on the first timeout:

  [...] A host that receives no reply to an ECN-setup SYN within the
  normal SYN retransmission timeout interval MAY resend the SYN and
  any subsequent SYN retransmissions with CWR and ECE cleared. [...]

Schematic client-side view when assuming the server is in tcp_ecn=2 mode,
that is, Linux default since 2009 via commit 255cac91 ("tcp: extend
ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN"):

 1) Normal ECN-capable path:

    SYN ECE CWR ----->
                <----- SYN ACK ECE
            ACK ----->

 2) Path with broken middlebox, when client has fallback:

    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)
            SYN ----->
                <----- SYN ACK
            ACK ----->

In case we would not have the fallback implemented, the middlebox drop
point would basically end up as:

    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)
    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)
    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)

In any case, it's rather a smaller percentage of sites where there would
occur such additional setup latency: it was found in end of 2014 that ~56%
of IPv4 and 65% of IPv6 servers of Alexa 1 million list would negotiate
ECN (aka tcp_ecn=2 default), 0.42% of these webservers will fail to connect
when trying to negotiate with ECN (tcp_ecn=1) due to timeouts, which the
fallback would mitigate with a slight latency trade-off. Recent related
paper on this topic:

  Brian Trammell, Mirja Kühlewind, Damiano Boppart, Iain Learmonth,
  Gorry Fairhurst, and Richard Scheffenegger:
    "Enabling Internet-Wide Deployment of Explicit Congestion Notification."
    Proc. PAM 2015, New York.
  http://ecn.ethz.ch/ecn-pam15.pdf

Thus, when net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=1 is being set, the patch will perform RFC3168,
section 6.1.1.1. fallback on timeout. For users explicitly not wanting this
which can be in DC use case, we add a net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback knob that
allows for disabling the fallback.

tp->ecn_flags are not being cleared in tcp_ecn_clear_syn() on output, but
rather we let tcp_ecn_rcv_synack() take that over on input path in case a
SYN ACK ECE was delayed. Thus a spurious SYN retransmission will not prevent
ECN being negotiated eventually in that case.

Diagnosing problems related to Window Probes has been hard because
we lack a counter.

at regular intervals to make sure a reverse ACK packet opening back
a window had not been lost.
