      net: tcp: add per route congestion control · 81164413
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      This work adds the possibility to define a per route/destination
      congestion control algorithm. Generally, this opens up the possibility
      for a machine with different links to enforce specific congestion
      control algorithms with optimal strategies for each of them based
      on their network characteristics, even transparently for a single
      application listening on all links.
      
      For our specific use case, this additionally facilitates deployment
      of DCTCP, for example, applications can easily serve internal
      traffic/dsts in DCTCP and external one with CUBIC. Other scenarios
      would also allow for utilizing e.g. long living, low priority
      background flows for certain destinations/routes while still being
      able for normal traffic to utilize the default congestion control
      algorithm. We also thought about a per netns setting (where different
      defaults are possible), but given its actually a link specific
      property, we argue that a per route/destination setting is the most
      natural and flexible.
      
      The administrator can utilize this through ip-route(8) by appending
      "congctl [lock] <name>", where <name> denotes the name of a
      congestion control algorithm and the optional lock parameter allows
      to enforce the given algorithm so that applications in user space
      would not be allowed to overwrite that algorithm for that destination.
      
      The dst metric lookups are being done when a dst entry is already
      available in order to avoid a costly lookup and still before the
      algorithms are being initialized, thus overhead is very low when the
      feature is not being used. While the client side would need to drop
      the current reference on the module, on server side this can actually
      even be avoided as we just got a flat-copied socket clone.

      inet: move ipv6only in sock_common · 9fe516ba
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      When an UDP application switches from AF_INET to AF_INET6 sockets, we
      have a small performance degradation for IPv4 communications because of
      extra cache line misses to access ipv6only information.
      
      This can also be noticed for TCP listeners, as ipv6_only_sock() is also
      used from __inet_lookup_listener()->compute_score()
      
      This is magnified when SO_REUSEPORT is used.
      
      Move ipv6only into struct sock_common so that it is available at
      no extra cost in lookups.

      net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks. · 676d2369
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:
      
      	skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
      	sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);
      
      But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
      can be consumed and freed up.  So this skb->len access is potentially
      to freed up memory.
      
      Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
      possible that the value isn't accurate.
      
      And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
      the length argument.  And since nobody actually cared about it's
      value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
      even '1'.
      
      So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
      is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
      fixed as a side effect.

      issue tree-wide.

      Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT

      ipv6: make lookups simpler and faster · efe4208f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      TCP listener refactoring, part 4 :
      
      To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct
      sock_common
      
      Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast
      lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV.
      
      Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache
      lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall).
      
      inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6
      
      This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4,
      we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6,
      it's not doable easily.
      
      inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr
      inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr
      
      And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr
      at the same offset.
      
      We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic
      macro.

      tcp: refactor F-RTO · 9b44190d
      Yuchung Cheng 提交于
      The patch series refactor the F-RTO feature (RFC4138/5682).
      
      This is to simplify the loss recovery processing. Existing F-RTO
      was developed during the experimental stage (RFC4138) and has
      many experimental features.  It takes a separate code path from
      the traditional timeout processing by overloading CA_Disorder
      instead of using CA_Loss state. This complicates CA_Disorder state
      handling because it's also used for handling dubious ACKs and undos.
      While the algorithm in the RFC does not change the congestion control,
      the implementation intercepts congestion control in various places
      (e.g., frto_cwnd in tcp_ack()).
      
      The new code implements newer F-RTO RFC5682 using CA_Loss processing
      path.  F-RTO becomes a small extension in the timeout processing
      and interfaces with congestion control and Eifel undo modules.
      It lets congestion control (module) determines how many to send
      independently.  F-RTO only chooses what to send in order to detect
      spurious retranmission. If timeout is found spurious it invokes
      existing Eifel undo algorithms like DSACK or TCP timestamp based
      detection.
      
      The first patch removes all F-RTO code except the sysctl_tcp_frto is
      left for the new implementation.  Since CA_EVENT_FRTO is removed, TCP
      westwood now computes ssthresh on regular timeout CA_EVENT_LOSS event.

      tcp: TLP loss detection. · 9b717a8d
      Nandita Dukkipati 提交于
      This is the second of the TLP patch series; it augments the basic TLP
      algorithm with a loss detection scheme.
      
      This patch implements a mechanism for loss detection when a Tail
      loss probe retransmission plugs a hole thereby masking packet loss
      from the sender. The loss detection algorithm relies on counting
      TLP dupacks as outlined in Sec. 3 of:
      http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01
      
      The basic idea is: Sender keeps track of TLP "episode" upon
      retransmission of a TLP packet. An episode ends when the sender receives
      an ACK above the SND.NXT (tracked by tlp_high_seq) at the time of the
      episode. We want to make sure that before the episode ends the sender
      receives a "TLP dupack", indicating that the TLP retransmission was
      unnecessary, so there was no loss/hole that needed plugging. If the
      sender gets no TLP dupack before the end of the episode, then it reduces
      ssthresh and the congestion window, because the TLP packet arriving at
      the receiver probably plugged a hole.

      This functionality is used for restoring tcp sockets. A tcp timestamp

      A per-socket offset for a TIME_WAIT socket is inherited from a proper

      tcp: better retrans tracking for defer-accept · e6c022a4
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      For passive TCP connections using TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT facility,
      we incorrectly increment req->retrans each time timeout triggers
      while no SYNACK is sent.
      
      SYNACK are not sent for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT that were established (for
      which we received the ACK from client). Only the last SYNACK is sent
      so that we can receive again an ACK from client, to move the req into
      accept queue. We plan to change this later to avoid the useless
      retransmit (and potential problem as this SYNACK could be lost)
      
      TCP_INFO later gives wrong information to user, claiming imaginary
      retransmits.
      
      Decouple req->retrans field into two independent fields :
      
      num_retrans : number of retransmit
      num_timeout : number of timeouts
      
      num_timeout is the counter that is incremented at each timeout,
      regardless of actual SYNACK being sent or not, and used to
      compute the exponential timeout.
      
      Introduce inet_rtx_syn_ack() helper to increment num_retrans
      only if ->rtx_syn_ack() succeeded.
      
      Use inet_rtx_syn_ack() from tcp_check_req() to increment num_retrans
      when we re-send a SYNACK in answer to a (retransmitted) SYN.
      Prior to this patch, we were not counting these retransmits.
      
      Change tcp_v[46]_rtx_synack() to increment TCP_MIB_RETRANSSEGS
      only if a synack packet was successfully queued.

      tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - note timestamps and retransmits for SYNACK RTT · 07253988
      Neal Cardwell 提交于
      Previously, when using TCP Fast Open a server would return from
      tcp_check_req() before updating snt_synack based on TCP timestamp echo
      replies and whether or not we've retransmitted the SYNACK. The result
      was that (a) for TFO connections using timestamps we used an incorrect
      baseline SYNACK send time (tcp_time_stamp of SYNACK send instead of
      rcv_tsecr), and (b) for TFO connections that do not have TCP
      timestamps but retransmit the SYNACK we took a SYNACK RTT sample when
      we should not take a sample.
      
      This fix merely moves the snt_synack update logic a bit earlier in the
      function, so that connections using TCP Fast Open will properly do
      these updates when the ACK for the SYNACK arrives.
      
      Moving this snt_synack update logic means that with TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT
      enabled we do a few instructions of wasted work on each bare ACK, but
      that seems OK.

      tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - support TFO listeners · 8336886f
      Jerry Chu 提交于
      This patch builds on top of the previous patch to add the support
      for TFO listeners. This includes -
      
      1. allocating, properly initializing, and managing the per listener
      fastopen_queue structure when TFO is enabled
      
      2. changes to the inet_csk_accept code to support TFO. E.g., the
      request_sock can no longer be freed upon accept(), not until 3WHS
      finishes
      
      3. allowing a TCP_SYN_RECV socket to properly poll() and sendmsg()
      if it's a TFO socket
      
      4. properly closing a TFO listener, and a TFO socket before 3WHS
      finishes
      
      5. supporting TCP_FASTOPEN socket option
      
      6. modifying tcp_check_req() to use to check a TFO socket as well
      as request_sock
      
      7. supporting TCP's TFO cookie option
      
      8. adding a new SYN-ACK retransmit handler to use the timer directly
      off the TFO socket rather than the listener socket. Note that TFO
      server side will not retransmit anything other than SYN-ACK until
      the 3WHS is completed.
      
      The patch also contains an important function
      "reqsk_fastopen_remove()" to manage the somewhat complex relation
      between a listener, its request_sock, and the corresponding child
      socket. See the comment above the function for the detail.

      net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts · 404e0a8b
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      commit c6cffba4 (ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.)
      added various fatal races with dst refcounts.
      
      crashes happen on tcp workloads if routes are added/deleted at the same
      time.
      
      The dst_free() calls from free_fib_info_rcu() are clearly racy.
      
      We need instead regular dst refcounting (dst_release()) and make
      sure dst_release() is aware of RCU grace periods :
      
      Add DST_RCU_FREE flag so that dst_release() respects an RCU grace period
      before dst destruction for cached dst
      
      Introduce a new inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper, using atomic_inc_not_zero()
      to make sure we dont increase a zero refcount (On a dst currently
      waiting an rcu grace period before destruction)
      
      rt_cache_route() must take a reference on the new cached route, and
      release it if was not able to install it.
      
      With this patch, my machines survive various benchmarks.

      net-tcp: Fast Open base · 2100c8d2
      Yuchung Cheng 提交于
      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.
      
      2. The new sysctl tcp_fastopen
      
      3. A place holder init function

      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.

      ipv4: Early TCP socket demux. · 41063e9d
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Input packet processing for local sockets involves two major demuxes.
      One for the route and one for the socket.
      
      But we can optimize this down to one demux for certain kinds of local
      sockets.
      
      Currently we only do this for established TCP sockets, but it could
      at least in theory be expanded to other kinds of connections.
      
      If a TCP socket is established then it's identity is fully specified.
      
      This means that whatever input route was used during the three-way
      handshake must work equally well for the rest of the connection since
      the keys will not change.
      
      Once we move to established state, we cache the receive packet's input
      route to use later.
      
      Like the existing cached route in sk->sk_dst_cache used for output
      packets, we have to check for route invalidations using dst->obsolete
      and dst->ops->check().
      
      Early demux occurs outside of a socket locked section, so when a route
      invalidation occurs we defer the fixup of sk->sk_rx_dst until we are
      actually inside of established state packet processing and thus have
      the socket locked.

      tcp: Get rid of inetpeer special cases. · 4670fd81
      David S. Miller 提交于
      The get_peer method TCP uses is full of special cases that make no
      sense accommodating, and it also gets in the way of doing more
      reasonable things here.
      
      First of all, if the socket doesn't have a usable cached route, there
      is no sense in trying to optimize timewait recycling.
      
      Likewise for the case where we have IP options, such as SRR enabled,
      that make the IP header destination address (and thus the destination
      address of the route key) differ from that of the connection's
      destination address.
      
      Just return a NULL peer in these cases, and thus we're also able to
      get rid of the clumsy inetpeer release logic.

      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: md5: rcu conversion · a915da9b
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      In order to be able to support proper RST messages for TCP MD5 flows, we
      need to allow access to MD5 keys without locking listener socket.
      
      This conversion is a nice cleanup, and shrinks size of timewait sockets
      by 80 bytes.
      
      IPv6 code reuses generic code found in IPv4 instead of duplicating it.
      
      Control path uses GFP_KERNEL allocations instead of GFP_ATOMIC.
