      tcp: allow TLP in ECN CWR · b4f70c3d
      由 Neal Cardwell 提交于 
      This patch enables tail loss probe in cwnd reduction (CWR) state
to detect potential losses. Prior to this patch, since the sender
uses PRR to determine the cwnd in CWR state, the combination of
CWR+PRR plus tcp_tso_should_defer() could cause unnecessary stalls
upon losses: PRR makes cwnd so gentle that tcp_tso_should_defer()
defers sending wait for more ACKs. The ACKs may not come due to
packet losses.

Disallowing TLP when there is unused cwnd had the primary effect
of disallowing TLP when there is TSO deferral, Nagle deferral,
or we hit the rwin limit. Because basically every application
write() or incoming ACK will cause us to run tcp_write_xmit()
to see if we can send more, and then if we sent something we call
tcp_schedule_loss_probe() to see if we should schedule a TLP. At
that point, there are a few common reasons why some cwnd budget
could still be unused:

(a) rwin limit
(b) nagle check
(c) TSO deferral
(d) TSQ

For (d), after the next packet tx completion the TSQ mechanism
will allow us to send more packets, so we don't really need a
TLP (in practice it shouldn't matter whether we schedule one
or not). But for (a), (b), (c) the sender won't send any more
packets until it gets another ACK. But if the whole flight was
lost, or all the ACKs were lost, then we won't get any more ACKs,
and ideally we should schedule and send a TLP to get more feedback.
In particular for a long time we have wanted some kind of timer for
TSO deferral, and at least this would give us some kind of timer

      tcp: when scheduling TLP, time of RTO should account for current ACK · ed66dfaf
      由 Neal Cardwell 提交于 
      Fix the TLP scheduling logic so that when scheduling a TLP probe, we
ensure that the estimated time at which an RTO would fire accounts for
the fact that ACKs indicating forward progress should push back RTO
times.

After the following fix:

df92c839 ("tcp: fix xmit timer to only be reset if data ACKed/SACKed")

we had an unintentional behavior change in the following kind of
scenario: suppose the RTT variance has been very low recently. Then
suppose we send out a flight of N packets and our RTT is 100ms:

t=0: send a flight of N packets
t=100ms: receive an ACK for N-1 packets

The response before df92c839 that was:
  -> schedule a TLP for now + RTO_interval

The response after df92c839 is:
  -> schedule a TLP for t=0 + RTO_interval

Since RTO_interval = srtt + RTT_variance, this means that we have
scheduled a TLP timer at a point in the future that only accounts for
RTT_variance. If the RTT_variance term is small, this means that the
timer fires soon.

Before df92c839 this would not happen, because in that code, when
we receive an ACK for a prefix of flight, we did:

    1) Near the top of tcp_ack(), switch from TLP timer to RTO
       at write_queue_head->paket_tx_time + RTO_interval:
            if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_LOSS_PROBE)
                   tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

    2) In tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), update the RTO to now + RTO_interval:
            if (flag & FLAG_ACKED) {
                   tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

    3) In tcp_ack() after tcp_fastretrans_alert() switch from RTO
       to TLP at now + RTO_interval:
            if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_RETRANS)
                   tcp_schedule_loss_probe(sk);

In df92c839 we removed that 3-phase dance, and instead directly
set the TLP timer once: we set the TLP timer in cases like this to
write_queue_head->packet_tx_time + RTO_interval. So if the RTT
variance is small, then this means that this is setting the TLP timer
to fire quite soon. This means if the ACK for the tail of the flight
takes longer than an RTT to arrive (often due to delayed ACKs), then
the TLP timer fires too quickly.

      tcp: allow drivers to tweak TSQ logic · 3a9b76fd
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      I had many reports that TSQ logic breaks wifi aggregation.

Current logic is to allow up to 1 ms of bytes to be queued into qdisc
and drivers queues.

But Wifi aggregation needs a bigger budget to allow bigger rates to
be discovered by various TCP Congestion Controls algorithms.

This patch adds an extra socket field, allowing wifi drivers to select
another log scale to derive TCP Small Queue credit from current pacing
rate.

Initial value is 10, meaning that this patch does not change current
behavior.

We expect wifi drivers to set this field to smaller values (tests have
been done with values from 6 to 9)

They would have to use following template :

if (skb->sk && skb->sk->sk_pacing_shift != MY_PACING_SHIFT)
     skb->sk->sk_pacing_shift = MY_PACING_SHIFT;

      locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

      tcp: do tcp_mstamp_refresh before retransmits on TSQ handler · 3a91d29f
      由 Koichiro Den 提交于 
      When retransmission on TSQ handler was introduced in the commit
f9616c35 ("tcp: implement TSQ for retransmits"), the retransmitted
skbs' timestamps were updated on the actual transmission. In the later
commit 385e2070 ("tcp: use tp->tcp_mstamp in output path"), it stops
being done so. In the commit, the comment says "We try to refresh
tp->tcp_mstamp only when necessary", and at present tcp_tsq_handler and
tcp_v4_mtu_reduced applies to this. About the latter, it's okay since
it's rare enough.

About the former, even though possible retransmissions on the tasklet
comes just after the destructor run in NET_RX softirq handling, the time
between them could be nonnegligibly large to the extent that
tcp_rack_advance or rto rearming be affected if other (remaining) RX,
BLOCK and (preceding) TASKLET sofirq handlings are unexpectedly heavy.

So in the same way as tcp_write_timer_handler does, doing tcp_mstamp_refresh
ensures the accuracy of algorithms relying on it.

      tcp: add a tracepoint for tcp retransmission · e086101b
      由 Cong Wang 提交于 
      We need a real-time notification for tcp retransmission
for monitoring.

Of course we could use ftrace to dynamically instrument this
kernel function too, however we can't retrieve the connection
information at the same time, for example perf-tools [1] reads
/proc/net/tcp for socket details, which is slow when we have
a lots of connections.

Therefore, this patch adds a tracepoint for __tcp_retransmit_skb()
and exposes src/dst IP addresses and ports of the connection.
This also makes it easier to integrate into perf.

Note, I expose both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses at the same time:
for a IPv4 socket, v4 mapped address is used as IPv6 addresses,
for a IPv6 socket, LOOPBACK4_IPV6 is already filled by kernel.
Also, add sk and skb pointers as they are useful for BPF.

      tcp: implement rb-tree based retransmit queue · 75c119af
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      Using a linear list to store all skbs in write queue has been okay
for quite a while : O(N) is not too bad when N < 500.

Things get messy when N is the order of 100,000 : Modern TCP stacks
want 10Gbit+ of throughput even with 200 ms RTT flows.

40 ns per cache line miss means a full scan can use 4 ms,
blowing away CPU caches.

SACK processing often can use various hints to avoid parsing
whole retransmit queue. But with high packet losses and/or high
reordering, hints no longer work.

Sender has to process thousands of unfriendly SACK, accumulating
a huge socket backlog, burning a cpu and massively dropping packets.

Using an rb-tree for retransmit queue has been avoided for years
because it added complexity and overhead, but now is the time
to be more resistant and say no to quadratic behavior.

1) RTX queue is no longer part of the write queue : already sent skbs
are stored in one rb-tree.

2) Since reaching the head of write queue no longer needs
sk->sk_send_head, we added an union of sk_send_head and tcp_rtx_queue

Tested:

 On receiver :
 netem on ingress : delay 150ms 200us loss 1
 GRO disabled to force stress and SACK storms.

      tcp: new list for sent but unacked skbs for RACK recovery · e2080072
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      This patch adds a new queue (list) that tracks the sent but not yet
acked or SACKed skbs for a TCP connection. The list is chronologically
ordered by skb->skb_mstamp (the head is the oldest sent skb).

This list will be used to optimize TCP Rack recovery, which checks
an skb's timestamp to judge if it has been lost and needs to be
retransmitted. Since TCP write queue is ordered by sequence instead
of sent time, RACK has to scan over the write queue to catch all
eligible packets to detect lost retransmission, and iterates through
SACKed skbs repeatedly.

Special cares for rare events:
1. TCP repair fakes skb transmission so the send queue needs adjusted
2. SACK reneging would require re-inserting SACKed skbs into the
   send queue. For now I believe it's not worth the complexity to
   make RACK work perfectly on SACK reneging, so we do nothing here.
3. Fast Open: currently for non-TFO, send-queue correctly queues
   the pure SYN packet. For TFO which queues a pure SYN and
   then a data packet, send-queue only queues the data packet but
   not the pure SYN due to the structure of TFO code. This is okay
   because the SYN receiver would never respond with a SACK on a
   missing SYN (i.e. SYN is never fast-retransmitted by SACK/RACK).

In order to not grow sk_buff, we use an union for the new list and
_skb_refdst/destructor fields. This is a bit complicated because
we need to make sure _skb_refdst and destructor are properly zeroed
before skb is cloned/copied at transmit, and before being freed.

      tcp: fastopen: fix on syn-data transmit failure · b5b7db8d
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      Our recent change exposed a bug in TCP Fastopen Client that syzkaller
found right away [1]

When we prepare skb with SYN+DATA, we attempt to transmit it,
and we update socket state as if the transmit was a success.

In socket RTX queue we have two skbs, one with the SYN alone,
and a second one containing the DATA.

When (malicious) ACK comes in, we now complain that second one had no
skb_mstamp.

The proper fix is to make sure that if the transmit failed, we do not
pretend we sent the DATA skb, and make it our send_head.

When 3WHS completes, we can now send the DATA right away, without having
to wait for a timeout.

      tcp: update skb->skb_mstamp more carefully · 8c72c65b
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      liujian reported a problem in TCP_USER_TIMEOUT processing with a patch
in tcp_probe_timer() :
      https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg454496.html

After investigations, the root cause of the problem is that we update
skb->skb_mstamp of skbs in write queue, even if the attempt to send a
clone or copy of it failed. One reason being a routing problem.

This patch prevents this, solving liujian issue.

It also removes a potential RTT miscalculation, since
__tcp_retransmit_skb() is not OR-ing TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->sacked with
TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS if a failure happens, but skb->skb_mstamp has
been changed.

A future ACK would then lead to a very small RTT sample and min_rtt
would then be lowered to this too small value.

      tcp: fix xmit timer to only be reset if data ACKed/SACKed · df92c839
      由 Neal Cardwell 提交于 
      Fix a TCP loss recovery performance bug raised recently on the netdev
list, in two threads:

(i)  July 26, 2017: netdev thread "TCP fast retransmit issues"
(ii) July 26, 2017: netdev thread:
     "[PATCH V2 net-next] TLP: Don't reschedule PTO when there's one
     outstanding TLP retransmission"

The basic problem is that incoming TCP packets that did not indicate
forward progress could cause the xmit timer (TLP or RTO) to be rearmed
and pushed back in time. In certain corner cases this could result in
the following problems noted in these threads:

 - Repeated ACKs coming in with bogus SACKs corrupted by middleboxes
   could cause TCP to repeatedly schedule TLPs forever. We kept
   sending TLPs after every ~200ms, which elicited bogus SACKs, which
   caused more TLPs, ad infinitum; we never fired an RTO to fill in
   the holes.

 - Incoming data segments could, in some cases, cause us to reschedule
   our RTO or TLP timer further out in time, for no good reason. This
   could cause repeated inbound data to result in stalls in outbound
   data, in the presence of packet loss.

This commit fixes these bugs by changing the TLP and RTO ACK
processing to:

 (a) Only reschedule the xmit timer once per ACK.

 (b) Only reschedule the xmit timer if tcp_clean_rtx_queue() deems the
     ACK indicates sufficient forward progress (a packet was
     cumulatively ACKed, or we got a SACK for a packet that was sent
     before the most recent retransmit of the write queue head).

This brings us back into closer compliance with the RFCs, since, as
the comment for tcp_rearm_rto() notes, we should only restart the RTO
timer after forward progress on the connection. Previously we were
restarting the xmit timer even in these cases where there was no
forward progress.

As a side benefit, this commit simplifies and speeds up the TCP timer
arming logic. We had been calling inet_csk_reset_xmit_timer() three
times on normal ACKs that cumulatively acknowledged some data:

1) Once near the top of tcp_ack() to switch from TLP timer to RTO:
        if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_LOSS_PROBE)
               tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

2) Once in tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), to update the RTO:
        if (flag & FLAG_ACKED) {
               tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

3) Once in tcp_ack() after tcp_fastretrans_alert() to switch from RTO
   to TLP:
        if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_RETRANS)
               tcp_schedule_loss_probe(sk);

This commit, by only rescheduling the xmit timer once per ACK,
simplifies the code and reduces CPU overhead.

This commit was tested in an A/B test with Google web server
traffic. SNMP stats and request latency metrics were within noise
levels, substantiating that for normal web traffic patterns this is a
rare issue. This commit was also tested with packetdrill tests to
verify that it fixes the timer behavior in the corner cases discussed
in the netdev threads mentioned above.

This patch is a bug fix patch intended to be queued for -stable
relases.
