      tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - header & support functions · 10467163
      Jerry Chu 提交于
      This patch adds all the necessary data structure and support
      functions to implement TFO server side. It also documents a number
      of flags for the sysctl_tcp_fastopen knob, and adds a few Linux
      extension MIBs.
      
      In addition, it includes the following:
      
      1. a new TCP_FASTOPEN socket option an application must call to
      supply a max backlog allowed in order to enable TFO on its listener.
      
      2. A number of key data structures:
      "fastopen_rsk" in tcp_sock - for a big socket to access its
      request_sock for retransmission and ack processing purpose. It is
      non-NULL iff 3WHS not completed.
      
      "fastopenq" in request_sock_queue - points to a per Fast Open
      listener data structure "fastopen_queue" to keep track of qlen (# of
      outstanding Fast Open requests) and max_qlen, among other things.
      
      "listener" in tcp_request_sock - to point to the original listener
      for book-keeping purpose, i.e., to maintain qlen against max_qlen
      as part of defense against IP spoofing attack.
      
      3. various data structure and functions, many in tcp_fastopen.c, to
      support server side Fast Open cookie operations, including
      /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen_key to allow manual rekeying.

      tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indications · 563d34d0
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      ICMP messages generated in output path if frame length is bigger than
      mtu are actually lost because socket is owned by user (doing the xmit)
      
      One example is the ipgre_tunnel_xmit() calling
      icmp_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED, htonl(mtu));
      
      We had a similar case fixed in commit a34a101e (ipv6: disable GSO on
      sockets hitting dst_allfrag).
      
      Problem of such fix is that it relied on retransmit timers, so short tcp
      sessions paid a too big latency increase price.
      
      This patch uses the tcp_release_cb() infrastructure so that MTU
      reduction messages (ICMP messages) are not lost, and no extra delay
      is added in TCP transmits.

      tcp: improve latencies of timer triggered events · 6f458dfb
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Modern TCP stack highly depends on tcp_write_timer() having a small
      latency, but current implementation doesn't exactly meet the
      expectations.
      
      When a timer fires but finds the socket is owned by the user, it rearms
      itself for an additional delay hoping next run will be more
      successful.
      
      tcp_write_timer() for example uses a 50ms delay for next try, and it
      defeats many attempts to get predictable TCP behavior in term of
      latencies.
      
      Use the recently introduced tcp_release_cb(), so that the user owning
      the socket will call various handlers right before socket release.
      
      This will permit us to post a followup patch to address the
      tcp_tso_should_defer() syndrome (some deferred packets have to wait
      RTO timer to be transmitted, while cwnd should allow us to send them
      sooner)

      net-tcp: Fast Open client - sending SYN-data · 783237e8
      Yuchung Cheng 提交于
      This patch implements sending SYN-data in tcp_connect(). The data is
      from tcp_sendmsg() with flag MSG_FASTOPEN (implemented in a later patch).
      
      The length of the cookie in tcp_fastopen_req, init'd to 0, controls the
      type of the SYN. If the cookie is not cached (len==0), the host sends
      data-less SYN with Fast Open cookie request option to solicit a cookie
      from the remote. If cookie is not available (len > 0), the host sends
      a SYN-data with Fast Open cookie option. If cookie length is negative,
        the SYN will not include any Fast Open option (for fall back operations).
      
      To deal with middleboxes that may drop SYN with data or experimental TCP
      option, the SYN-data is only sent once. SYN retransmits do not include
      data or Fast Open options. The connection will fall back to regular TCP
      handshake.

      This patch impelements the common code for both the client and server.
      
      1. TCP Fast Open option processing. Since Fast Open does not have an
         option number assigned by IANA yet, it shares the experiment option
         code 254 by implementing draft-ietf-tcpm-experimental-options
         with a 16 bits magic number 0xF989. This enables global experiments
         without clashing the scarce(2) experimental options available for TCP.
      
         When the draft status becomes standard (maybe), the client should
         switch to the new option number assigned while the server supports
         both numbers for transistion.

      tcp: TCP Small Queues · 46d3ceab
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      This introduce TSQ (TCP Small Queues)
      
      TSQ goal is to reduce number of TCP packets in xmit queues (qdisc &
      device queues), to reduce RTT and cwnd bias, part of the bufferbloat
      problem.
      
      sk->sk_wmem_alloc not allowed to grow above a given limit,
      allowing no more than ~128KB [1] per tcp socket in qdisc/dev layers at a
      given time.
      
      TSO packets are sized/capped to half the limit, so that we have two
      TSO packets in flight, allowing better bandwidth use.
      
      As a side effect, setting the limit to 40000 automatically reduces the
      standard gso max limit (65536) to 40000/2 : It can help to reduce
      latencies of high prio packets, having smaller TSO packets.
      
      This means we divert sock_wfree() to a tcp_wfree() handler, to
      queue/send following frames when skb_orphan() [2] is called for the
      already queued skbs.
      
      Results on my dev machines (tg3/ixgbe nics) are really impressive,
      using standard pfifo_fast, and with or without TSO/GSO.
      
      Without reduction of nominal bandwidth, we have reduction of buffering
      per bulk sender :
      < 1ms on Gbit (instead of 50ms with TSO)
      < 8ms on 100Mbit (instead of 132 ms)
      
      I no longer have 4 MBytes backlogged in qdisc by a single netperf
      session, and both side socket autotuning no longer use 4 Mbytes.
      
      As skb destructor cannot restart xmit itself ( as qdisc lock might be
      taken at this point ), we delegate the work to a tasklet. We use one
      tasklest per cpu for performance reasons.
      
      If tasklet finds a socket owned by the user, it sets TSQ_OWNED flag.
      This flag is tested in a new protocol method called from release_sock(),
      to eventually send new segments.
      
      [1] New /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes tunable
      [2] skb_orphan() is usually called at TX completion time,
        but some drivers call it in their start_xmit() handler.
        These drivers should at least use BQL, or else a single TCP
        session can still fill the whole NIC TX ring, since TSQ will
        have no effect.

      tcp: early retransmit · eed530b6
      Yuchung Cheng 提交于
      This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP.
      It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are
      less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout.
      
      While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering
      makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter
      false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement
      a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays
      entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently
      ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection
      after the first reordering event. A large scale web server
      experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in
      section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”,
      IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf
      
      Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The
      differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only
      used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is
      enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if
      people think it's a good idea.
      
      ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans:
        0: Disables ER
      
        1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4.
      
        2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay
           entering fast recovery by RTT/4.
      
      Note: mode 2 is implemented in the third part of this patch series.

      tcp: Repair connection-time negotiated parameters · b139ba4e
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      There are options, which are set up on a socket while performing
      TCP handshake. Need to resurrect them on a socket while repairing.
      A new sockoption accepts a buffer and parses it. The buffer should
      be CODE:VALUE sequence of bytes, where CODE is standard option
      code and VALUE is the respective value.
      
      Only 4 options should be handled on repaired socket.
      
      To read 3 out of 4 of these options the TCP_INFO sockoption can be
      used. An ability to get the last one (the mss_clamp) was added by
      the previous patch.
      
      Now the restore. Three of these options -- timestamp_ok, mss_clamp
      and snd_wscale -- are just restored on a coket.
      
      The sack_ok flags has 2 issues. First, whether or not to do sacks
      at all. This flag is just read and set back. No other sack  info is
      saved or restored, since according to the standart and the code
      dropping all sack-ed segments is OK, the sender will resubmit them
      again, so after the repair we will probably experience a pause in
      connection. Next, the fack bit. It's just set back on a socket if
      the respective sysctl is set. No collected stats about packets flow
      is preserved. As far as I see (plz, correct me if I'm wrong) the
      fack-based congestion algorithm survives dropping all of the stats
      and repairs itself eventually, probably losing the performance for
      that period.

      * TCP_REPAIR sockoption
      
      This one just puts the socket in/out of the repair mode.
      Allowed for CAP_NET_ADMIN and for closed/establised sockets only.
      When repair mode is turned off and the socket happens to be in
      the established state the window probe is sent to the peer to
      'unlock' the connection.
      
      * TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE sockoption
      
      This one sets the queue which we're about to repair. The
      'no-queue' is set by default.
      
      * TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socoption
      
      Sets the write_seq/rcv_nxt of a selected repaired queue.
      Allowed for TCP_CLOSE-d sockets only. When the socket changes
      its state the other seq-s are changed by the kernel according
      to the protocol rules (most of the existing code is actually
      reused).
      
      * Ability to forcibly bind a socket to a port
      
      The sk->sk_reuse is set to SK_FORCE_REUSE.
      
      * Immediate connect modification
      
      The connect syscall initializes the connection, then directly jumps
      to the code which finalizes it.
      
      * Silent close modification
      
      The close just aborts the connection (similar to SO_LINGER with 0
      time) but without sending any FIN/RST-s to peer.

      Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP. · a262f0cd
      Nandita Dukkipati 提交于
      This patch implements Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) for TCP.
      PRR is an algorithm that determines TCP's sending rate in fast
      recovery. PRR avoids excessive window reductions and aims for
      the actual congestion window size at the end of recovery to be as
      close as possible to the window determined by the congestion control
      algorithm. PRR also improves accuracy of the amount of data sent
      during loss recovery.
      
      The patch implements the recommended flavor of PRR called PRR-SSRB
      (Proportional rate reduction with slow start reduction bound) and
      replaces the existing rate halving algorithm. PRR improves upon the
      existing Linux fast recovery under a number of conditions including:
        1) burst losses where the losses implicitly reduce the amount of
      outstanding data (pipe) below the ssthresh value selected by the
      congestion control algorithm and,
        2) losses near the end of short flows where application runs out of
      data to send.
      
      As an example, with the existing rate halving implementation a single
      loss event can cause a connection carrying short Web transactions to
      go into the slow start mode after the recovery. This is because during
      recovery Linux pulls the congestion window down to packets_in_flight+1
      on every ACK. A short Web response often runs out of new data to send
      and its pipe reduces to zero by the end of recovery when all its packets
      are drained from the network. Subsequent HTTP responses using the same
      connection will have to slow start to raise cwnd to ssthresh. PRR on
      the other hand aims for the cwnd to be as close as possible to ssthresh
      by the end of recovery.

      tcp: RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for the passive open side · 9ad7c049
      Jerry Chu 提交于
      This patch lowers the default initRTO from 3secs to 1sec per
      RFC2988bis. It falls back to 3secs if the SYN or SYN-ACK packet
      has been retransmitted, AND the TCP timestamp option is not on.
      
      It also adds support to take RTT sample during 3WHS on the passive
      open side, just like its active open counterpart, and uses it, if
      valid, to seed the initRTO for the data transmission phase.
      
      The patch also resets ssthresh to its initial default at the
      beginning of the data transmission phase, and reduces cwnd to 1 if
      there has been MORE THAN ONE retransmission during 3WHS per RFC5681.

      tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option. · dca43c75
      Jerry Chu 提交于
      This patch provides a "user timeout" support as described in RFC793. The
      socket option is also needed for the the local half of RFC5482 "TCP User
      Timeout Option".
      
      TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int,
      when > 0, to specify the maximum amount of time in ms that transmitted
      data may remain unacknowledged before TCP will forcefully close the
      corresponding connection and return ETIMEDOUT to the application. If
      0 is given, TCP will continue to use the system default.
      
      Increasing the user timeouts allows a TCP connection to survive extended
      periods without end-to-end connectivity. Decreasing the user timeouts
      allows applications to "fail fast" if so desired. Otherwise it may take
      upto 20 minutes with the current system defaults in a normal WAN
      environment.
      
      The socket option can be made during any state of a TCP connection, but
      is only effective during the synchronized states of a connection
      (ESTABLISHED, FIN-WAIT-1, FIN-WAIT-2, CLOSE-WAIT, CLOSING, or LAST-ACK).
      Moreover, when used with the TCP keepalive (SO_KEEPALIVE) option,
      TCP_USER_TIMEOUT will overtake keepalive to determine when to close a
      connection due to keepalive failure.
      
      The option does not change in anyway when TCP retransmits a packet, nor
      when a keepalive probe will be sent.
      
      This option, like many others, will be inherited by an acceptor from its
      listener.

      TCPCT part 1d: define TCP cookie option, extend existing struct's · 435cf559
      William Allen Simpson 提交于
      Data structures are carefully composed to require minimal additions.
      For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits
      between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional
      space (taking alignment into consideration).  There are no additions to
      tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock.
      
      This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old)
      patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original
      author (Adam Langley):
      
          http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586
      
      The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce,
      instead of a user configured offset in the data.  This is more flexible and
      less subject to user configuration error.  Such a cookie option has been
      suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing
      several related concepts to use the same extension option.

      tcp: cache result of earlier divides when mss-aligning things · 2a3a041c
      Ilpo Järvinen 提交于
      The results is very unlikely change every so often so we
      hardly need to divide again after doing that once for a
      connection. Yet, if divide still becomes necessary we
      detect that and do the right thing and again settle for
      non-divide state. Takes the u16 space which was previously
      taken by the plain xmit_size_goal.
      
      This should take care part of the tso vs non-tso difference
      we found earlier.

      Ilpo Järvinen 提交于
      There's very little need for most of the callsites to get
      tp->xmit_goal_size updated. That will cost us divide as is,
      so slice the function in two. Also, the only users of the
      tp->xmit_goal_size are directly behind tcp_current_mss(),
      so there's no need to store that variable into tcp_sock
      at all! The drop of xmit_goal_size currently leaves 16-bit
      hole and some reorganization would again be necessary to
      change that (but I'm aiming to fill that hole with u16
      xmit_goal_size_segs to cache the results of the remaining
      divide to get that tso on regression).

      It all started from me noticing that this urgent check in

      urg_mode can trivially do without, well almost, there was
      one gotcha.
      
      Bonus: those funny people who use urg with >= 2^31 write_seq -
      snd_una could now rejoice too (that's the only purpose for the
      between being there, otherwise a simple compare would have done
      the thing). Not that I assume that the rest of the tcp code
      happily lives with such mind-boggling numbers :-). Alas, it
      turned out to be impossible to set wmem to such numbers anyway,
      yes I really tried a big sendfile after setting some wmem but
      nothing happened :-). ...Tcp_wmem is int and so is sk_sndbuf...
      So I hacked a bit variable to long and found out that it seems
      to work... :-)
