2017-10-01ipv4: Namespaceify tcp_fastopen_key knobHaishuang Yan
Different namespace application might require different tcp_fastopen_key independently of the host. David Miller pointed out there is a leak without releasing the context of tcp_fastopen_key during netns teardown. So add the release action in exit_batch path. Tested: 1. Container namespace: # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen_key: 2817fff2-f803cf97-eadfd1f3-78c0992b cookie key in tcp syn packets: Fast Open Cookie Kind: TCP Fast Open Cookie (34) Length: 10 Fast Open Cookie: 1e5dd82a8c492ca9 2.

skb->rbnode shares space with skb->next, skb->prev and skb->tstamp Current uses (TCP receive ofo queue and netem) need to save/restore tstamp, while skb->dev is either NULL (TCP) or a constant for a given queue (netem).

2017-08-30tcp: Revert "tcp: remove header prediction"Florian Westphal
This reverts commit 45f119bf936b1f9f546a0b139c5b56f9bb2bdc78. Eric Dumazet says: We found at Google a significant regression caused by 45f119bf936b1f9f546a0b139c5b56f9bb2bdc78 tcp: remove header prediction In typical RPC (TCP_RR), when a TCP socket receives data, we now call tcp_ack() while we used to not call it. This touches enough cache lines to cause a slowdown. so problem does not seem to be HP removal itself but the tcp_ack() call. Therefore, it might be possible to remove HP after all, provided one finds a way to elide tcp_ack for most cases.

2017-08-25tcp: fix refcnt leak with ebpf congestion controlSabrina Dubroca
There are a few bugs around refcnt handling in the new BPF congestion control setsockopt: - The new ca is assigned to icsk->icsk_ca_ops even in the case where we cannot get a reference on it. This would lead to a use after free, since that ca is going away soon. - Changing the congestion control case doesn't release the refcnt on the previous ca. - In the reinit case, we first leak a reference on the old ca, then we call tcp_reinit_congestion_control on the ca that we have just assigned, leading to deinitializing the wrong ca (->release of the new ca on the old ca's data) and releasing the refcount on the ca that we actually want to use. This is visible by building (for example) BIC as a module and setting net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bic, and using tcp_cong_kern.c from samples/bpf. This patch fixes the refcount issues, and moves reinit back into tcp core to avoid passing a ca pointer back to BPF.

2017-08-23tcp: Extend SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE to TCP recvmsgMike Maloney
When SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is enabled for tcp sockets, return the timestamp corresponding to the highest sequence number data returned. Previously the skb->tstamp is overwritten when a TCP packet is placed in the out of order queue. While the packet is in the ooo queue, save the timestamp in the TCB_SKB_CB. This space is shared with the gso_* options which are only used on the tx path, and a previously unused 4 byte hole. When skbs are coalesced either in the sk_receive_queue or the out_of_order_queue always choose the timestamp of the appended skb to maintain the invariant of returning the timestamp of the last byte in the recvmsg buffer.

2017-07-31tcp: remove prequeue supportFlorian Westphal
prequeue is a tcp receive optimization that moves part of rx processing from bh to process context. This only works if the socket being processed belongs to a process that is blocked in recv on that socket. In practice, this doesn't happen anymore that often because nowadays servers tend to use an event driven (epoll) model. Even normal client applications (web browsers) commonly use many tcp connections in parallel. This has measureable impact only in netperf (which uses plain recv and thus allows prequeue use) from host to locally running vm (~4%), however, there were no changes when using netperf between two physical hosts with ixgbe interfaces.

2017-07-19tcp: adjust tail loss probe timeoutYuchung Cheng
This patch adjusts the timeout formula to schedule the TCP loss probe (TLP). The previous formula uses 2*SRTT or 1.5*RTT + DelayACKMax if only one packet is in flight. It keeps a lower bound of 10 msec which is too large for short RTT connections (e.g. within a data-center). The new formula = 2*RTT + (inflight == 1 ? 200ms : 2ticks) which performs better for short and fast connections.

2017-07-01bpf: BPF support for sock_opsLawrence Brakmo
Created a new BPF program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS, and a corresponding struct that allows BPF programs of this type to access some of the socket's fields (such as IP addresses, ports, etc.). It uses the existing bpf cgroups infrastructure so the programs can be attached per cgroup with full inheritance support. The program will be called at appropriate times to set relevant connections parameters such as buffer sizes, SYN and SYN-ACK RTOs, etc., based on connection information such as IP addresses, port numbers, etc. Alghough there are already 3 mechanisms to set parameters (sysctls, route metrics and setsockopts), this new mechanism provides some distinct advantages. Unlike sysctls, it can set parameters per connection. In contrast to route metrics, it can also use port numbers and information provided by a user level program. In addition, it could set parameters probabilistically for evaluation purposes (i.e. do something different on 10% of the flows and compare results with the other 90% of the flows). Also, in cases where IPv6 addresses contain geographic information, the rules to make changes based on the distance (or RTT) between the hosts are much easier than route metric rules and can be global. Finally, unlike setsockopt, it oes not require application changes and it can be updated easily at any time. Although the bpf cgroup framework already contains a sock related program type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK), I created the new type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS) beccause the existing type expects to be called only once during the connections's lifetime. In contrast, the new program type will be called multiple times from different places in the network stack code. For example, before sending SYN and SYN-ACKs to set an appropriate timeout, when the connection is established to set congestion control, etc. As a result it has "op" field to specify the type of operation requested. The purpose of this new program type is to simplify setting connection parameters, such as buffer sizes, TCP's SYN RTO, etc. For example, it is easy to use facebook's internal IPv6 addresses to determine if both hosts of a connection are in the same datacenter. Therefore, it is easy to write a BPF program to choose a small SYN RTO value when both hosts are in the same datacenter. This patch only contains the framework to support the new BPF program type, following patches add the functionality to set various connection parameters. This patch defines a new BPF program type: BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_OPS and a new bpf syscall command to load a new program of this type: BPF_PROG_LOAD_SOCKET_OPS. Two new corresponding structs (one for the kernel one for the user/BPF program): /* kernel version */ struct bpf_sock_ops_kern { struct sock *sk; __u32 op; union { __u32 reply; __u32 replylong[4]; }; }; /* user version * Some fields are in network byte order reflecting the sock struct * Use the bpf_ntohl helper macro in samples/bpf/bpf_endian.h to * convert them to host byte order. */ struct bpf_sock_ops { __u32 op; union { __u32 reply; __u32 replylong[4]; }; __u32 family; __u32 remote_ip4; /* In network byte order */ __u32 local_ip4; /* In network byte order */ __u32 remote_ip6[4]; /* In network byte order */ __u32 local_ip6[4]; /* In network byte order */ __u32 remote_port; /* In network byte order */ __u32 local_port; /* In host byte horder */ }; Currently there are two types of ops. The first type expects the BPF program to return a value which is then used by the caller (or a negative value to indicate the operation is not supported). The second type expects state changes to be done by the BPF program, for example through a setsockopt BPF helper function, and they ignore the return value. The reply fields of the bpf_sockt_ops struct are there in case a bpf program needs to return a value larger than an integer.

2017-05-17tcp: switch TCP TS option (RFC 7323) to 1ms clockEric Dumazet
TCP Timestamps option is defined in RFC 7323 Traditionally on linux, it has been tied to the internal 'jiffies' variable, because it had been a cheap and good enough generator. For TCP flows on the Internet, 1 ms resolution would be much better than 4ms or 10ms (HZ=250 or HZ=100 respectively) For TCP flows in the DC, Google has used usec resolution for more than two years with great success [1] Receive size autotuning (DRS) is indeed more precise and converges faster to optimal window size. This patch converts tp->tcp_mstamp to a plain u64 value storing a 1 usec TCP clock. This choice will allow us to upstream the 1 usec TS option as discussed in IETF 97.

2017-05-16tcp: internal implementation for pacingEric Dumazet
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.

2017-05-08tcp: make congestion control optionally skip slow start after idleWei Wang
Congestion control modules that want full control over congestion control behavior do not want the cwnd modifications controlled by the sysctl_tcp_slow_start_after_idle code path. So skip those code paths for CC modules that use the cong_control() API. As an example, those cwnd effects are not desired for the BBR congestion control algorithm.

2017-05-05tcp: randomize timestamps on syncookiesEric Dumazet
Whole point of randomization was to hide server uptime, but an attacker can simply start a syn flood and TCP generates 'old style' timestamps, directly revealing server jiffies value. Also, TSval sent by the server to a particular remote address vary depending on syncookies being sent or not, potentially triggering PAWS drops for innocent clients. Lets implement proper randomization, including for SYNcookies. Also we do not need to export sysctl_tcp_timestamps, since it is not used from a module. In v2, I added Florian feedback and contribution, adding tsoff to tcp_get_cookie_sock(). v3 removed one unused variable in tcp_v4_connect() as Florian spotted.
