Multipath route lookups should consider knowledge about next hops and not select a hop that is known to be failed. Example: [h2] [h3] 15.0.0.5 | | 3| 3| [SP1] [SP2]--+ 1 2 1 2 | | /-------------+ | | \ / | | X | | / \ | | / \---------------\ | 1 2 1 2 12.0.0.2 [TOR1] 3-----------------3 [TOR2] 12.0.0.3 4 4 \ / \ / \ / -------| |-----/ 1 2 [TOR3] 3| | [h1] 12.0.0.1 host h1 with IP 12.0.0.1 has 2 paths to host h3 at 15.0.0.5: root@h1:~# ip ro ls ... 12.0.0.0/24 dev swp1 proto kernel scope link src 12.0.0.1 15.0.0.0/16 nexthop via 12.0.0.2 dev swp1 weight 1 nexthop via 12.0.0.3 dev swp1 weight 1 ... If the link between tor3 and tor1 is down and the link between tor1 and tor2 then tor1 is effectively cut-off from h1. Yet the route lookups in h1 are alternating between the 2 routes: ping 15.0.0.5 gets one and ssh 15.0.0.5 gets the other. Connections that attempt to use the 12.0.0.2 nexthop fail since that neighbor is not reachable: root@h1:~# ip neigh show ... 12.0.0.3 dev swp1 lladdr 00:02:00:00:00:1b REACHABLE 12.0.0.2 dev swp1 FAILED ... The failed path can be avoided by considering known neighbor information when selecting next hops. If the neighbor lookup fails we have no knowledge about the nexthop, so give it a shot. If there is an entry then only select the nexthop if the state is sane. This is similar to what fib_detect_death does. To maintain backward compatibility use of the neighbor information is based on a new sysctl, fib_multipath_use_neigh.

Allow accepted sockets to derive their sk_bound_dev_if setting from the l3mdev domain in which the packets originated. A sysctl setting is added to control the behavior which is similar to sk_mark and sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept. This effectively allow a process to have a "VRF-global" listen socket, with child sockets bound to the VRF device in which the packet originated. A similar behavior can be achieved using sk_mark, but a solution using marks is incomplete as it does not handle duplicate addresses in different L3 domains/VRFs. Allowing sockets to inherit the sk_bound_dev_if from l3mdev domain provides a complete solution. Signed-off-by: NDavid Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This patch implements the second half of RACK that uses the the most recent transmit time among all delivered packets to detect losses. tcp_rack_mark_lost() is called upon receiving a dubious ACK. It then checks if an not-yet-sacked packet was sent at least "reo_wnd" prior to the sent time of the most recently delivered. If so the packet is deemed lost. The "reo_wnd" reordering window starts with 1msec for fast loss detection and changes to min-RTT/4 when reordering is observed. We found 1msec accommodates well on tiny degree of reordering (<3 pkts) on faster links. We use min-RTT instead of SRTT because reordering is more of a path property but SRTT can be inflated by self-inflicated congestion. The factor of 4 is borrowed from the delayed early retransmit and seems to work reasonably well. Since RACK is still experimental, it is now used as a supplemental loss detection on top of existing algorithms. It is only effective after the fast recovery starts or after the timeout occurs. The fast recovery is still triggered by FACK and/or dupack threshold instead of RACK. We introduce a new sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_recovery for future experiments of loss recoveries. For now RACK can be disabled by setting it to 0.

Kathleen Nichols' algorithm for tracking the minimum RTT of a data stream over some measurement window. It uses constant space and constant time per update. Yet it almost always delivers the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all the data in the window. The measurement window is tunable via sysctl.net.ipv4.tcp_min_rtt_wlen with a default value of 5 minutes. The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing over the window. Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because it has no value - the new min is less than everything else in the window by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh on every new min and overwrites the 2nd & 3rd choices. The same property holds for the 2nd & 3rd best. Therefore we have to maintain two invariants to maximize the information in the samples, one on values (1st.v <= 2nd.v <= 3rd.v) and the other on times (now-win <=1st.t <= 2nd.t <= 3rd.t <= now). These invariants determine the structure of the code The RTT input to the windowed filter is the minimum RTT measured from ACK or SACK, or as the last resort from TCP timestamps. The accessor tcp_min_rtt() returns the minimum RTT seen in the window. ~0U indicates it is not available. The minimum is 1usec even if the true RTT is below that.

However RFC 5798 section 8.1.1 states: The IPv4 source address of an ICMP redirect should be the address that the end-host used when making its next-hop routing decision. while said commit used the generating packet destination address, which do not match the above and in most cases leads to no redirect packets to be generated.

This patch allows configuring how the source address of ICMP redirect messages is selected; by default the old behaviour is retained, while setting icmp_redirects_use_orig_daddr force the usage of the destination address of the packet that caused the redirect. The new behaviour fits closely the RFC 5798 section 8.1.1, and fix the following scenario: Two machines are set up with VRRP to act as routers out of a subnet, they have IPs x.x.x.1/24 and x.x.x.2/24, with VRRP holding on to x.x.x.254/24. If a host in said subnet needs to get an ICMP redirect from the VRRP router, i.e. to reach a destination behind a different gateway, the source IP in the ICMP redirect is chosen as the primary IP on the interface that the packet arrived at, i.e. x.x.x.1 or x.x.x.2. The host will then ignore said redirect, due to RFC 1122 section 3.2.2.2, and will continue to use the wrong next-op. Signed-off-by: NPaolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The xfrm flowcache size is limited by the flowcache limit (4096 * number of online cpus) and the xfrm garbage collector threshold (2 * 32768), whatever is reached first. This means that we can hit the garbage collector limit only on systems with more than 16 cpus. On such systems we simply refuse new allocations if we reach the limit, so new flows are dropped. On syslems with 16 or less cpus, we hit the flowcache limit. In this case, we shrink the flow cache instead of refusing new flows. We increase the xfrm garbage collector threshold to INT_MAX to get the same behaviour, independent of the number of cpus. The xfrm garbage collector threshold can still be set below the flowcache limit to reduce the memory usage of the flowcache.

When TCP pacing was added back in linux-3.12, we chose to apply a fixed ratio of 200 % against current rate, to allow probing for optimal throughput even during slow start phase, where cwnd can be doubled every other gRTT. At Google, we found it was better applying a different ratio while in Congestion Avoidance phase. This ratio was set to 120 %. We've used the normal tcp_in_slow_start() helper for a while, then tuned the condition to select the conservative ratio as soon as cwnd >= ssthresh/2 : - After cwnd reduction, it is safer to ramp up more slowly, as we approach optimal cwnd. - Initial ramp up (ssthresh == INFINITY) still allows doubling cwnd every other RTT.

Processing Received Router Advertisements A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time, and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is unspecified. In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the host should continue using whatever value it is already using. If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set its CurHopLimit variable to the received value. So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC standards.

A long standing problem on busy servers is the tiny available TCP port range (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range) and the default sequential allocation of source ports in connect() system call. If a host is having a lot of active TCP sessions, chances are very high that all ports are in use by at least one flow, and subsequent bind(0) attempts fail, or have to scan a big portion of space to find a slot. In this patch, I changed the starting point in __inet_hash_connect() so that we try to favor even [1] ports, leaving odd ports for bind() users. We still perform a sequential search, so there is no guarantee, but if connect() targets are very different, end result is we leave more ports available to bind(), and we spread them all over the range, lowering time for both connect() and bind() to find a slot. This strategy only works well if /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range is even, ie if start/end values have different parity. Therefore, default /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range was changed to 32768 - 60999 (instead of 32768 - 61000) There is no change on security aspects here, only some poor hashing schemes could be eventually impacted by this change.

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.

This patch divides the IPv6 flow label space into two ranges: 0-7ffff is reserved for flow label manager, 80000-fffff will be used for creating auto flow labels (per RFC6438). This only affects how labels are set on transmit, it does not affect receive. This range split can be disbaled by systcl. Background: IPv6 flow labels have been an unmitigated disappointment thus far in the lifetime of IPv6. Support in HW devices to use them for ECMP is lacking, and OSes don't turn them on by default. If we had these we could get much better hashing in IPv6 networks without resorting to DPI, possibly eliminating some of the motivations to to define new encaps in UDP just for getting ECMP. Unfortunately, the initial specfications of IPv6 did not clarify how they are to be used. There has always been a vague concept that these can be used for ECMP, flow hashing, etc. and we do now have a good standard how to this in RFC6438. The problem is that flow labels can be either stateful or stateless (as in RFC6438), and we are presented with the possibility that a stateless label may collide with a stateful one. Attempts to split the flow label space were rejected in IETF. When we added support in Linux for RFC6438, we could not turn on flow labels by default due to this conflict. This patch splits the flow label space and should give us a path to enabling auto flow labels by default for all IPv6 packets. This is an API change so we need to consider compatibility with existing deployment. The stateful range is chosen to be the lower values in hopes that most uses would have chosen small numbers. Once we resolve the stateless/stateful issue, we can proceed to look at enabling RFC6438 flow labels by default (starting with scaled testing).

Helpers for mitigating ACK loops by rate-limiting dupacks sent in response to incoming out-of-window packets. This patch includes: - rate-limiting logic - sysctl to control how often we allow dupacks to out-of-window packets - SNMP counter for cases where we rate-limited our dupack sending The rate-limiting logic in this patch decides to not send dupacks in response to out-of-window segments if (a) they are SYNs or pure ACKs and (b) the remote endpoint is sending them faster than the configured rate limit. We rate-limit our responses rather than blocking them entirely or resetting the connection, because legitimate connections can rely on dupacks in response to some out-of-window segments. For example, zero window probes are typically sent with a sequence number that is below the current window, and ZWPs thus expect to thus elicit a dupack in response. We allow dupacks in response to TCP segments with data, because these may be spurious retransmissions for which the remote endpoint wants to receive DSACKs. This is safe because segments with data can't realistically be part of ACK loops, which by their nature consist of each side sending pure/data-less ACKs to each other. The dupack interval is controlled by a new sysctl knob, tcp_invalid_ratelimit, given in milliseconds, in case an administrator needs to dial this upward in the face of a high-rate DoS attack. The name and units are chosen to be analogous to the existing analogous knob for ICMP, icmp_ratelimit. The default value for tcp_invalid_ratelimit is 500ms, which allows at most one such dupack per 500ms. This is chosen to be 2x faster than the 1-second minimum RTO interval allowed by RFC 6298 (section 2, rule 2.4). We allow the extra 2x factor because network delay variations can cause packets sent at 1 second intervals to be compressed and arrive much closer.

The kernel forcefully applies MTU values received in router advertisements provided the new MTU is less than the current. This behavior is undesirable when the user space is managing the MTU. Instead a sysctl flag 'accept_ra_mtu' is introduced such that the user space can control whether or not RA provided MTU updates should be applied. The default behavior is unchanged; user space must explicitly set this flag to 0 for RA MTUs to be ignored. Signed-off-by: NHarout Hedeshian <harouth@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
