      tcp: fix xmit timer to only be reset if data ACKed/SACKed · df92c839
      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.

      tcp: enable xmit timer fix by having TLP use time when RTO should fire · a2815817
      Neal Cardwell 提交于
      Have tcp_schedule_loss_probe() base the TLP scheduling decision based
      on when the RTO *should* fire. This is to enable the upcoming xmit
      timer fix in this series, where tcp_schedule_loss_probe() cannot
      assume that the last timer installed was an RTO timer (because we are
      no longer doing the "rearm RTO, rearm RTO, rearm TLP" dance on every
      ACK). So tcp_schedule_loss_probe() must independently figure out when
      an RTO would want to fire.
      
      In the new TLP implementation following in this series, we cannot
      assume that icsk_timeout was set based on an RTO; after processing a
      cumulative ACK the icsk_timeout we see can be from a previous TLP or
      RTO. So we need to independently recalculate the RTO time (instead of
      reading it out of icsk_timeout). Removing this dependency on the
      nature of icsk_timeout makes things a little easier to reason about
      anyway.
      
      Note that the old and new code should be equivalent, since they are
      both saying: "if the RTO is in the future, but at an earlier time than
      the normal TLP time, then set the TLP timer to fire when the RTO would
      have fired".

      tcp: avoid bogus gcc-7 array-bounds warning · efe967cd
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      When using CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL, the TCP code produces a
      false-positive warning:
      
      net/ipv4/tcp_output.c: In function 'tcp_connect':

      I have opened a gcc bug for this, but distros have already shipped
      compilers with this problem, and it's not clear yet whether there is
      a way for gcc to avoid the warning. As the problem is related to the
      bitfield access, this introduces a temporary variable to store the old
      enum value.
      
      I did not notice this warning earlier, since UBSAN is disabled when
      building with COMPILE_TEST, and that was always turned on in both
      allmodconfig and randconfig tests.

      tcp: internal implementation for pacing · 218af599
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      BBR congestion control depends on pacing, and pacing is
      currently handled by sch_fq packet scheduler for performance reasons,
      and also because implemening pacing with FQ was convenient to truly
      avoid bursts.
      
      However there are many cases where this packet scheduler constraint
      is not practical.
      - Many linux hosts are not focusing on handling thousands of TCP
        flows in the most efficient way.
      - Some routers use fq_codel or other AQM, but still would like
        to use BBR for the few TCP flows they initiate/terminate.
      
      This patch implements an automatic fallback to internal pacing.
      
      Pacing is requested either by BBR or use of SO_MAX_PACING_RATE option.
      
      If sch_fq happens to be in the egress path, pacing is delegated to
      the qdisc, otherwise pacing is done by TCP itself.
      
      One advantage of pacing from TCP stack is to get more precise rtt
      estimations, and less work done from TX completion, since TCP Small
      queue limits are not generally hit. Setups with single TX queue but
      many cpus might even benefit from this.
      
      Note that unlike sch_fq, we do not take into account header sizes.
      Taking care of these headers would add additional complexity for
      no practical differences in behavior.
      
      Some performance numbers using 800 TCP_STREAM flows rate limited to
      ~48 Mbit per second on 40Gbit NIC.

      tcp: remove early retransmit · bec41a11
      Yuchung Cheng 提交于
      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.

      tcp: remove forward retransmit feature · 840a3cbe
      Yuchung Cheng 提交于
      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.

      tcp: add reordering timer in RACK loss detection · 57dde7f7
      Yuchung Cheng 提交于
      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.

      ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
