2015-08-25tcp: fix slow start after idle vs TSO/GSOEric Dumazet
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. Tested: Following packetdrill test demonstrates the problem // Test of slow start after idle `sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle=1` 0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 +0 listen(3, 1) = 0 +0 < S 0:0(0) win 65535 <mss 1000,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 7> +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 6> +.100 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 511 +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 +0 setsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, [200000], 4) = 0 +0 write(4, ..., 26000) = 26000 +0 > . 1:5001(5000) ack 1 +0 > . 5001:10001(5000) ack 1 +0 %{ assert tcpi_snd_cwnd == 10 }% +.100 < . 1:1(0) ack 10001 win 511 +0 %{ assert tcpi_snd_cwnd == 20, tcpi_snd_cwnd }% +0 > . 10001:20001(10000) ack 1 +0 > P. 20001:26001(6000) ack 1 +.100 < . 1:1(0) ack 26001 win 511 +0 %{ assert tcpi_snd_cwnd == 36, tcpi_snd_cwnd }% +4 write(4, ..., 20000) = 20000 // If slow start after idle works properly, we should send 5 MSS here (cwnd/2) +0 > . 26001:31001(5000) ack 1 +0 %{ assert tcpi_snd_cwnd == 10, tcpi_snd_cwnd }% +0 > . 31001:36001(5000) ack 1 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-07-27tcp: fix recv with flags MSG_WAITALL | MSG_PEEKSabrina Dubroca
Currently, tcp_recvmsg enters a busy loop in sk_wait_data if called with flags = MSG_WAITALL | MSG_PEEK. sk_wait_data waits for sk_receive_queue not empty, but in this case, the receive queue is not empty, but does not contain any skb that we can use. Add a "last skb seen on receive queue" argument to sk_wait_data, so that it sleeps until the receive queue has new skbs.

2015-06-23tcp: Do not call tcp_fastopen_reset_cipher from interrupt contextChristoph Paasch
tcp_fastopen_reset_cipher really cannot be called from interrupt context. It allocates the tcp_fastopen_context with GFP_KERNEL and calls crypto_alloc_cipher, which allocates all kind of stuff with GFP_KERNEL. Thus, we might sleep when the key-generation is triggered by an incoming TFO cookie-request which would then happen in interrupt- context, as shown by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP: [ 36.001813] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:1266 [ 36.003624] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 1016, name: packetdrill [ 36.004859] CPU: 1 PID: 1016 Comm: packetdrill Not tainted 4.1.0-rc7 #14 [ 36.006085] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.7.5-0-ge51488c-20140602_164612-nilsson.home.kraxel.org 04/01/2014 [ 36.008250] 00000000000004f2 ffff88007f8838a8 ffffffff8171d53a ffff880075a084a8 [ 36.009630] ffff880075a08000 ffff88007f8838c8 ffffffff810967d3 ffff88007f883928 [ 36.011076] 0000000000000000 ffff88007f8838f8 ffffffff81096892 ffff88007f89be00 [ 36.012494] Call Trace: [ 36.012953] <IRQ> [<ffffffff8171d53a>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x6d [ 36.014085] [<ffffffff810967d3>] ___might_sleep+0x103/0x170 [ 36.015117] [<ffffffff81096892>] __might_sleep+0x52/0x90 [ 36.016117] [<ffffffff8118e887>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x47/0x190 [ 36.017266] [<ffffffff81680d82>] ? tcp_fastopen_reset_cipher+0x42/0x130 [ 36.018485] [<ffffffff81680d82>] tcp_fastopen_reset_cipher+0x42/0x130 [ 36.019679] [<ffffffff81680f01>] tcp_fastopen_init_key_once+0x61/0x70 [ 36.020884] [<ffffffff81680f2c>] __tcp_fastopen_cookie_gen+0x1c/0x60 [ 36.022058] [<ffffffff816814ff>] tcp_try_fastopen+0x58f/0x730 [ 36.023118] [<ffffffff81671788>] tcp_conn_request+0x3e8/0x7b0 [ 36.024185] [<ffffffff810e3872>] ? __module_text_address+0x12/0x60 [ 36.025327] [<ffffffff8167b2e1>] tcp_v4_conn_request+0x51/0x60 [ 36.026410] [<ffffffff816727e0>] tcp_rcv_state_process+0x190/0xda0 [ 36.027556] [<ffffffff81661f97>] ? __inet_lookup_established+0x47/0x170 [ 36.028784] [<ffffffff8167c2ad>] tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x16d/0x3d0 [ 36.029832] [<ffffffff812e6806>] ? security_sock_rcv_skb+0x16/0x20 [ 36.030936] [<ffffffff8167cc8a>] tcp_v4_rcv+0x77a/0x7b0 [ 36.031875] [<ffffffff816af8c3>] ? iptable_filter_hook+0x33/0x70 [ 36.032953] [<ffffffff81657d22>] ip_local_deliver_finish+0x92/0x1f0 [ 36.034065] [<ffffffff81657f1a>] ip_local_deliver+0x9a/0xb0 [ 36.035069] [<ffffffff81657c90>] ? ip_rcv+0x3d0/0x3d0 [ 36.035963] [<ffffffff81657569>] ip_rcv_finish+0x119/0x330 [ 36.036950] [<ffffffff81657ba7>] ip_rcv+0x2e7/0x3d0 [ 36.037847] [<ffffffff81610652>] __netif_receive_skb_core+0x552/0x930 [ 36.038994] [<ffffffff81610a57>] __netif_receive_skb+0x27/0x70 [ 36.040033] [<ffffffff81610b72>] process_backlog+0xd2/0x1f0 [ 36.041025] [<ffffffff81611482>] net_rx_action+0x122/0x310 [ 36.042007] [<ffffffff81076743>] __do_softirq+0x103/0x2f0 [ 36.042978] [<ffffffff81723e3c>] do_softirq_own_stack+0x1c/0x30 This patch moves the call to tcp_fastopen_init_key_once to the places where a listener socket creates its TFO-state, which always happens in user-context (either from the setsockopt, or implicitly during the listen()-call) Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Fixes: 222e83d2e0ae ("tcp: switch tcp_fastopen key generation to net_get_random_once") Signed-off-by: Christoph Paasch <cpaasch@apple.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-06-16sock_diag: implement a get_info handler for inetCraig Gallek
This get_info handler will simply dispatch to the appropriate existing inet protocol handler. This patch also includes a new netlink attribute (INET_DIAG_PROTOCOL). This attribute is currently only used for multicast messages. Without this attribute, there is no way of knowing the IP protocol used by the socket information being broadcast. This attribute is not necessary in the 'dump' variant of this protocol (though it could easily be added) because dump requests are issued for specific family/protocol pairs.

2015-05-22tcp: fix a potential deadlock in tcp_get_info()Eric Dumazet
Taking socket spinlock in tcp_get_info() can deadlock, as inet_diag_dump_icsk() holds the &hashinfo->ehash_locks[i], while packet processing can use the reverse locking order. We could avoid this locking for TCP_LISTEN states, but lockdep would certainly get confused as all TCP sockets share same lockdep classes.

2015-05-21tcp: ensure epoll edge trigger wakeup when write queue is emptyJason Baron
We currently rely on the setting of SOCK_NOSPACE in the write() path to ensure that we wake up any epoll edge trigger waiters when acks return to free space in the write queue. However, if we fail to allocate even a single skb in the write queue, we could end up waiting indefinitely. Fix this by explicitly issuing a wakeup when we detect the condition of an empty write queue and a return value of -EAGAIN. This allows userspace to re-try as we expect this to be a temporary failure. I've tested this approach by artificially making sk_stream_alloc_skb() return NULL periodically. In that case, epoll edge trigger waiters will hang indefinitely in epoll_wait() without this patch.

2015-05-21tcp: add a force_schedule argument to sk_stream_alloc_skb()Eric Dumazet
In commit 8e4d980ac215 ("tcp: fix behavior for epoll edge trigger") we fixed a possible hang of TCP sockets under memory pressure, by allowing sk_stream_alloc_skb() to use sk_forced_mem_schedule() if no packet is in socket write queue. It turns out there are other cases where we want to force memory schedule : tcp_fragment() & tso_fragment() need to split a big TSO packet into two smaller ones. If we block here because of TCP memory pressure, we can effectively block TCP socket from sending new data. If no further ACK is coming, this hang would be definitive, and socket has no chance to effectively reduce its memory usage. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-05-05tcp: provide SYN headers for passive connectionsEric Dumazet
This patch allows a server application to get the TCP SYN headers for its passive connections. This is useful if the server is doing fingerprinting of clients based on SYN packet contents. Two socket options are added: TCP_SAVE_SYN and TCP_SAVED_SYN. The first is used on a socket to enable saving the SYN headers for child connections. This can be set before or after the listen() call. The latter is used to retrieve the SYN headers for passive connections, if the parent listener has enabled TCP_SAVE_SYN. TCP_SAVED_SYN is read once, it frees the saved SYN headers. The data returned in TCP_SAVED_SYN are network (IPv4/IPv6) and TCP headers. Original patch was written by Tom Herbert, I changed it to not hold a full skb (and associated dst and conntracking reference). We have used such patch for about 3 years at Google.

With some mss values, it is possible tcp_xmit_size_goal() puts one segment more in TSO packet than tcp_tso_autosize(). We send then one TSO packet followed by one single MSS. It is not a serious bug, but we can do slightly better, especially for drivers using netif_set_gso_max_size() to lower gso_max_size. Using same formula avoids these corner cases and makes tcp_xmit_size_goal() a bit faster.

2015-02-04ip: convert tcp_sendmsg() to iov_iter primitivesAl Viro
patch is actually smaller than it seems to be - most of it is unindenting the inner loop body in tcp_sendmsg() itself... the bit in tcp_input.c is going to get reverted very soon - that's what memcpy_from_msg() will become, but not in this commit; let's keep it reasonably contained... There's one potentially subtle change here: in case of short copy from userland, mainline tcp_send_syn_data() discards the skb it has allocated and falls back to normal path, where we'll send as much as possible after rereading the same data again. This patch trims SYN+data skb instead - that way we don't need to copy from the same place twice. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2014-12-09tcp: refine TSO autosizingEric Dumazet
Commit 95bd09eb2750 ("tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing") tried to control TSO size, but did this at the wrong place (sendmsg() time) At sendmsg() time, we might have a pessimistic view of flow rate, and we end up building very small skbs (with 2 MSS per skb). This is bad because : - It sends small TSO packets even in Slow Start where rate quickly increases. - It tends to make socket write queue very big, increasing tcp_ack() processing time, but also increasing memory needs, not necessarily accounted for, as fast clones overhead is currently ignored. - Lower GRO efficiency and more ACK packets. Servers with a lot of small lived connections suffer from this. Lets instead fill skbs as much as possible (64KB of payload), but split them at xmit time, when we have a precise idea of the flow rate. skb split is actually quite efficient. Patch looks bigger than necessary, because TCP Small Queue decision now has to take place after the eventual split. As Neal suggested, introduce a new tcp_tso_autosize() helper, so that tcp_tso_should_defer() can be synchronized on same goal. Rename tp->xmit_size_goal_segs to tp->gso_segs, as this variable contains number of mss that we can put in GSO packet, and is not related to the autosizing goal anymore.

TCP timestamping introduced MSG_ERRQUEUE handling for TCP sockets. If the socket is of family AF_INET6, call ipv6_recv_error instead of ip_recv_error. This change is more complex than a single branch due to the loadable ipv6 module. It reuses a pre-existing indirect function call from ping.

If @gfp doesn't contain GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed. This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for writeback IOs. Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe0c ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator") just now. - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on 64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects directly. - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with blk-mq support).

This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon.

2014-10-01tcp: abort orphan sockets stalling on zero window probesYuchung Cheng
Currently we have two different policies for orphan sockets that repeatedly stall on zero window ACKs. If a socket gets a zero window ACK when it is transmitting data, the RTO is used to probe the window. The socket is aborted after roughly tcp_orphan_retries() retries (as in tcp_write_timeout()). But if the socket was idle when it received the zero window ACK, and later wants to send more data, we use the probe timer to probe the window. If the receiver always returns zero window ACKs, icsk_probes keeps getting reset in tcp_ack() and the orphan socket can stall forever until the system reaches the orphan limit (as commented in tcp_probe_timer()). This opens up a simple attack to create lots of hanging orphan sockets to burn the memory and the CPU, as demonstrated in the recent netdev post "TCP connection will hang in FIN_WAIT1 after closing if zero window is advertised." http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg296539.html This patch follows the design in RTO-based probe: we abort an orphan socket stalling on zero window when the probe timer reaches both the maximum backoff and the maximum RTO. For example, an 100ms RTT connection will timeout after roughly 153 seconds (0.3 + 0.6 + .... + 76.8) if the receiver keeps the window shut. If the orphan socket passes this check, but the system already has too many orphans (as in tcp_out_of_resources()), we still abort it but we'll also send an RST packet as the connection may still be active. In addition, we change TCP_USER_TIMEOUT to cover (life or dead) sockets stalled on zero-window probes. This changes the semantics of TCP_USER_TIMEOUT slightly because it previously only applies when the socket has pending transmission.

Split assignment and initialization from one into two functions.

As we walk the available congestion control list during the assignment, we are always guaranteed to have Reno present as it's fixed compiled-in. Therefore, since we're doing the early assignment, we don't have a real use for the Reno alias tcp_init_congestion_ops anymore and can thus remove it. Actual usage of the congestion control operations are being made after the 3WHS has finished, in some cases however we can access get_info() via diag if implemented, therefore we need to zero out the private area for those modules.

2014-09-28tcp: change tcp_skb_pcount() locationEric Dumazet
Our goal is to access no more than one cache line access per skb in a write or receive queue when doing the various walks. After recent TCP_SKB_CB() reorganizations, it is almost done. Last part is tcp_skb_pcount() which currently uses skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs, which is a terrible choice, because it needs 3 cache lines in current kernel (skb->head, skb->end, and shinfo->gso_segs are all in 3 different cache lines, far from skb->cb) This very simple patch reuses space currently taken by tcp_tw_isn only in input path, as tcp_skb_pcount is only needed for skb stored in write queue. This considerably speeds up tcp_ack(), granted we avoid shinfo->tx_flags to get SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP, which seems possible. This also speeds up all sack processing in general. This speeds up tcp_sendmsg() because it no longer has to access/dirty shinfo. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
