2016-04-15tcp: remove false sharing in tcp_rcv_state_process()Eric Dumazet1-2/+2
Last known hot point during SYNFLOOD attack is the clearing of rx_opt.saw_tstamp in tcp_rcv_state_process() It is not needed for a listener, so we move it where it matters.

2016-04-15tcp: do not mess with listener sk_wmem_allocEric Dumazet1-3/+4
When removing sk_refcnt manipulation on synflood, I missed that using skb_set_owner_w() was racy, if sk->sk_wmem_alloc had already transitioned to 0. We should hold sk_refcnt instead, but this is a big deal under attack. (Doing so increase performance from 3.2 Mpps to 3.8 Mpps only) In this patch, I chose to not attach a socket to syncookies skb. Performance is now 5 Mpps instead of 3.2 Mpps.

2016-04-04tcp: use one bit in TCP_SKB_CB to mark ACK timestampsSoheil Hassas Yeganeh1-1/+1
Currently, to avoid a cache line miss for accessing skb_shinfo, tcp_ack_tstamp skips socket that do not have SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK bit set in sk_tsflags. This is implemented based on an implicit assumption that the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK is set via socket options for the duration that ACK timestamps are needed. To implement per-write timestamps, this check should be removed and replaced with a per-packet alternative that quickly skips packets missing ACK timestamps marks without a cache-line miss. To enable per-packet marking without a cache line miss, use one bit in TCP_SKB_CB to mark a whether a SKB might need a ack tx timestamp or not. Further checks in tcp_ack_tstamp are not modified and work as before.

2016-04-02tcp: remove cwnd moderation after recoveryYuchung Cheng1-11/+0
For non-SACK connections, cwnd is lowered to inflight plus 3 packets when the recovery ends. This is an optional feature in the NewReno RFC 2582 to reduce the potential burst when cwnd is "re-opened" after recovery and inflight is low. This feature is questionably effective because of PRR: when the recovery ends (i.e., snd_una == high_seq) NewReno holds the CA_Recovery state for another round trip to prevent false fast retransmits. But if the inflight is low, PRR will overwrite the moderated cwnd in tcp_cwnd_reduction() later regardlessly. So if a receiver responds bogus ACKs (i.e., acking future data) to speed up transfer after recovery, it can only induce a burst up to a window worth of data packets by acking up to SND.NXT. A restart from (short) idle or receiving streched ACKs can both cause such bursts as well. On the other hand, if the recovery ends because the sender detects the losses were spurious (e.g., reordering). This feature unconditionally lowers a reverted cwnd even though nothing was lost. By principle loss recovery module should not update cwnd. Further pacing is much more effective to reduce burst.

2016-02-07tcp: new delivery accountingYuchung Cheng1-6/+15
This patch changes the accounting of how many packets are newly acked or sacked when the sender receives an ACK. The current approach basically computes newly_acked_sacked = (prior_packets - prior_sacked) - (tp->packets_out - tp->sacked_out) where prior_packets and prior_sacked out are snapshot at the beginning of the ACK processing. The new approach tracks the delivery information via a new TCP state variable "delivered" which monotically increases as new packets are delivered in order or out-of-order. The reason for this change is that the current approach is brittle that produces negative or inaccurate estimate. 1) For non-SACK connections, an ACK that advances the SND.UNA could reset the DUPACK counters (tp->sacked_out) in tcp_process_loss() or tcp_fastretrans_alert(). This inflates the inflight suddenly and causes under-estimate or even negative estimate. Here is a real example: before after (processing ACK) packets_out 75 73 sacked_out 23 0 ca state Loss Open The old approach computes (75-23) - (73 - 0) = -21 delivered while the new approach computes 1 delivered since it considers the 2nd-24th packets are delivered OOO. 2) MSS change would re-count packets_out and sacked_out so the estimate is in-accurate and can even become negative. E.g., the inflight is doubled when MSS is halved. 3) Spurious retransmission signaled by DSACK is not accounted The new approach is simpler and more robust. For SACK connections, tp->delivered increments as packets are being acked or sacked in SACK and ACK processing. For non-sack connections, it's done in tcp_remove_reno_sacks() and tcp_add_reno_sack(). When an ACK advances the SND.UNA, tp->delivered is incremented by the number of packets ACKed (less the current number of DUPACKs received plus one packet hole). Upon receiving a DUPACK, tp->delivered is incremented assuming one out-of-order packet is delivered. Upon receiving a DSACK, tp->delivered is incremtened assuming one retransmission is delivered in tcp_sacktag_write_queue().

2016-01-28tcp: fix tcp_mark_head_lost to check skb len before fragmentingNeal Cardwell1-5/+5
This commit fixes a corner case in tcp_mark_head_lost() which was causing the WARN_ON(len > skb->len) in tcp_fragment() to fire. tcp_mark_head_lost() was assuming that if a packet has tcp_skb_pcount(skb) of N, then it's safe to fragment off a prefix of M*mss bytes, for any M < N. But with the tricky way TCP pcounts are maintained, this is not always true. For example, suppose the sender sends 4 1-byte packets and have the last 3 packet sacked. It will merge the last 3 packets in the write queue into an skb with pcount = 3 and len = 3 bytes. If another recovery happens after a sack reneging event, tcp_mark_head_lost() may attempt to split the skb assuming it has more than 2*MSS bytes. This sounds very counterintuitive, but as the commit description for the related commit c0638c247f55 ("tcp: don't fragment SACKed skbs in tcp_mark_head_lost()") notes, this is because tcp_shifted_skb() coalesces adjacent regions of SACKed skbs, and when doing this it preserves the sum of their packet counts in order to reflect the real-world dynamics on the wire. The c0638c247f55 commit tried to avoid problems by not fragmenting SACKed skbs, since SACKed skbs are where the non-proportionality between pcount and skb->len/mss is known to be possible. However, that commit did not handle the case where during a reneging event one of these weird SACKed skbs becomes an un-SACKed skb, which tcp_mark_head_lost() can then try to fragment. The fix is to simply mark the entire skb lost when this happens. This makes the recovery slightly more aggressive in such corner cases before we detect reordering. But once we detect reordering this code path is by-passed because FACK is disabled.

2016-01-06tcp: fix zero cwnd in tcp_cwnd_reductionYuchung Cheng1-0/+3
Patch 3759824da87b ("tcp: PRR uses CRB mode by default and SS mode conditionally") introduced a bug that cwnd may become 0 when both inflight and sndcnt are 0 (cwnd = inflight + sndcnt). This may lead to a div-by-zero if the connection starts another cwnd reduction phase by setting tp->prior_cwnd to the current cwnd (0) in tcp_init_cwnd_reduction(). To prevent this we skip PRR operation when nothing is acked or sacked. Then cwnd must be positive in all cases as long as ssthresh is positive: 1) The proportional reduction mode inflight > ssthresh > 0 2) The reduction bound mode a) inflight == ssthresh > 0 b) inflight < ssthresh sndcnt > 0 since newly_acked_sacked > 0 and inflight < ssthresh Therefore in all cases inflight and sndcnt can not both be 0. We check invalid tp->prior_cwnd to avoid potential div0 bugs. In reality this bug is triggered only with a sequence of less common events. For example, the connection is terminating an ECN-triggered cwnd reduction with an inflight 0, then it receives reordered/old ACKs or DSACKs from prior transmission (which acks nothing). Or the connection is in fast recovery stage that marks everything lost, but fails to retransmit due to local issues, then receives data packets from other end which acks nothing.

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.

2015-10-21tcp: use RACK to detect lossesYuchung Cheng1-2/+7
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.

2015-10-21tcp: track the packet timings in RACKYuchung Cheng1-0/+14
This patch is the first half of the RACK loss recovery. RACK loss recovery uses the notion of time instead of packet sequence (FACK) or counts (dupthresh). It's inspired by the previous FACK heuristic in tcp_mark_lost_retrans(): when a limited transmit (new data packet) is sacked, then current retransmitted sequence below the newly sacked sequence must been lost, since at least one round trip time has elapsed. But it has several limitations: 1) can't detect tail drops since it depends on limited transmit 2) is disabled upon reordering (assumes no reordering) 3) only enabled in fast recovery ut not timeout recovery RACK (Recently ACK) addresses these limitations with the notion of time instead: a packet P1 is lost if a later packet P2 is s/acked, as at least one round trip has passed. Since RACK cares about the time sequence instead of the data sequence of packets, it can detect tail drops when later retransmission is s/acked while FACK or dupthresh can't. For reordering RACK uses a dynamically adjusted reordering window ("reo_wnd") to reduce false positives on ever (small) degree of reordering. This patch implements tcp_advanced_rack() which tracks the most recent transmission time among the packets that have been delivered (ACKed or SACKed) in tp->rack.mstamp. This timestamp is the key to determine which packet has been lost. Consider an example that the sender sends six packets: T1: P1 (lost) T2: P2 T3: P3 T4: P4 T100: sack of P2. rack.mstamp = T2 T101: retransmit P1 T102: sack of P2,P3,P4. rack.mstamp = T4 T205: ACK of P4 since the hole is repaired. rack.mstamp = T101 We need to be careful about spurious retransmission because it may falsely advance tp->rack.mstamp by an RTT or an RTO, causing RACK to falsely mark all packets lost, just like a spurious timeout. We identify spurious retransmission by the ACK's TS echo value. If TS option is not applicable but the retransmission is acknowledged less than min-RTT ago, it is likely to be spurious. We refrain from using the transmission time of these spurious retransmissions. The second half is implemented in the next patch that marks packet lost using RACK timestamp.

2015-10-21tcp: track min RTT using windowed min-filterYuchung Cheng1-5/+73
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.

2015-10-05tcp: avoid two atomic ops for syncookiesEric Dumazet1-3/+5

2015-10-05tcp: fix fastopen races vs lockless listenerEric Dumazet1-1/+5
There are multiple races that need fixes : 1) skb_get() + queue skb + kfree_skb() is racy An accept() can be done on another cpu, data consumed immediately. tcp_recvmsg() uses __kfree_skb() as it is assumed all skb found in socket receive queue are private. Then the kfree_skb() in tcp_rcv_state_process() uses an already freed skb 2) tcp_reqsk_record_syn() needs to be done before tcp_try_fastopen() for the same reasons. 3) We want to send the SYNACK before queueing child into accept queue, otherwise we might reintroduce the ooo issue fixed in commit 7c85af881044 ("tcp: avoid reorders for TFO passive connections") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-10-03tcp: attach SYNACK messages to request sockets instead of listenerEric Dumazet1-11/+12
If a listen backlog is very big (to avoid syncookies), then the listener sk->sk_wmem_alloc is the main source of false sharing, as we need to touch it twice per SYNACK re-transmit and TX completion. (One SYN packet takes listener lock once, but up to 6 SYNACK are generated) By attaching the skb to the request socket, we remove this source of contention. Tested: listen(fd, 10485760); // single listener (no SO_REUSEPORT) 16 RX/TX queue NIC Sustain a SYNFLOOD attack of ~320,000 SYN per second, Sending ~1,400,000 SYNACK per second.

2015-10-03tcp/dccp: install syn_recv requests into ehash tableEric Dumazet1-1/+1
In this patch, we insert request sockets into TCP/DCCP regular ehash table (where ESTABLISHED and TIMEWAIT sockets are) instead of using the per listener hash table. ACK packets find SYN_RECV pseudo sockets without having to find and lock the listener. In nominal conditions, this halves pressure on listener lock. Note that this will allow for SO_REUSEPORT refinements, so that we can select a listener using cpu/numa affinities instead of the prior 'consistent hash', since only SYN packets will apply this selection logic. We will shrink listen_sock in the following patch to ease code review.

2015-09-28tcp: avoid reorders for TFO passive connectionsEric Dumazet1-8/+11
We found that a TCP Fast Open passive connection was vulnerable to reorders, as the exchange might look like [1] C -> S S <FO ...> <request> [2] S -> C S. ack request <options> [3] S -> C . <answer> packets [2] and [3] can be generated at almost the same time. If C receives the 3rd packet before the 2nd, it will drop it as the socket is in SYN_SENT state and expects a SYNACK. S will have to retransmit the answer. Current OOO avoidance in linux is defeated because SYNACK packets are attached to the LISTEN socket, while DATA packets are attached to the children. They might be sent by different cpus, and different TX queues might be selected. It turns out that for TFO, we created a child, which is a full blown socket in TCP_SYN_RECV state, and we simply can attach the SYNACK packet to this socket. This means that at the time tcp_sendmsg() pushes DATA packet, skb->ooo_okay will be set iff the SYNACK packet had been sent and TX completed. This removes the reorder source at the host level. We also removed the export of tcp_try_fastopen(), as it is no longer called from IPv6.

2015-09-21tcp: usec resolution SYN/ACK RTTYuchung Cheng1-15/+14
Currently SYN/ACK RTT is measured in jiffies. For LAN the SYN/ACK RTT is often measured as 0ms or sometimes 1ms, which would affect RTT estimation and min RTT samping used by some congestion control. This patch improves SYN/ACK RTT to be usec resolution if platform supports it. While the timestamping of SYN/ACK is done in request sock, the RTT measurement is carefully arranged to avoid storing another u64 timestamp in tcp_sock. For regular handshake w/o SYNACK retransmission, the RTT is sampled right after the child socket is created and right before the request sock is released (tcp_check_req() in tcp_minisocks.c) For Fast Open the child socket is already created when SYN/ACK was sent, the RTT is sampled in tcp_rcv_state_process() after processing the final ACK an right before the request socket is released. If the SYN/ACK was retransmistted or SYN-cookie was used, we rely on TCP timestamps to measure the RTT. The sample is taken at the same place in tcp_rcv_state_process() after the timestamp values are validated in tcp_validate_incoming(). Note that we do not store TS echo value in request_sock for SYN-cookies, because the value is already stored in tp->rx_opt used by tcp_ack_update_rtt(). One side benefit is that the RTT measurement now happens before initializing congestion control (of the passive side). Therefore the congestion control can use the SYN/ACK RTT.

2015-09-17tcp: provide skb->hash to synack packetsEric Dumazet1-0/+1
In commit b73c3d0e4f0e ("net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf on xmit"), Tom provided a l4 hash to most outgoing TCP packets. We'd like to provide one as well for SYNACK packets, so that all packets of a given flow share same txhash, to later enable bonding driver to also use skb->hash to perform slave selection. Note that a SYNACK retransmit shuffles the tx hash, as Tom did in commit 265f94ff54d62 ("net: Recompute sk_txhash on negative routing advice") for established sockets. This has nice effect making TCP flows resilient to some kind of black holes, even at connection establish phase.

2015-08-31tcp: use dctcp if enabled on the route to the initiatorDaniel Borkmann1-2/+5
Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should: A responder has f.e. Cubic as system wide default, but for a specific route to the initiating host, DCTCP is being set in RTAX_CC_ALGO. The initiating host then uses DCTCP as congestion control, but since the initiator sets ECT(0), tcp_ecn_create_request() doesn't set ecn_ok, and we have to fall back to Reno after 3WHS completes. We were thinking on how to solve this in a minimal, non-intrusive way without bloating tcp_ecn_create_request() needlessly: lets cache the CA ecn option flag in RTAX_FEATURES. In other words, when ECT(0) is set on the SYN packet, set ecn_ok=1 iff route RTAX_FEATURES contains the unexposed (internal-only) DST_FEATURE_ECN_CA. This allows to only do a single metric feature lookup inside tcp_ecn_create_request(). Joint work with Florian Westphal.

2015-08-25tcp: refine pacing rate determinationEric Dumazet1-1/+17
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.

2015-08-25tcp: fix slow start after idle vs TSO/GSOEric Dumazet1-0/+3
slow start after idle might reduce cwnd, but we perform this after first packet was cooked and sent. With TSO/GSO, it means that we might send a full TSO packet even if cwnd should have been reduced to IW10. Moving the SSAI check in skb_entail() makes sense, because we slightly reduce number of times this check is done, especially for large send() and TCP Small queue callbacks from softirq context. As Neal pointed out, we also need to perform the check if/when receive window opens.
