From 40a1227ea845a37ab197dd1caffb60b047fa36b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin KaFai Lau Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2018 01:01:21 -0700 Subject: tcp: Avoid TCP syncookie rejected by SO_REUSEPORT socket Although the actual cookie check "__cookie_v[46]_check()" does not involve sk specific info, it checks whether the sk has recent synq overflow event in "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow()". The tcp_sk(sk)->rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp is updated every second when it has sent out a syncookie (through "tcp_synq_overflow()"). The above per sk "recent synq overflow event timestamp" works well for non SO_REUSEPORT use case. However, it may cause random connection request reject/discard when SO_REUSEPORT is used with syncookie because it fails the "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow()" test. When SO_REUSEPORT is used, it usually has multiple listening socks serving TCP connection requests destinated to the same local IP:PORT. There are cases that the TCP-ACK-COOKIE may not be received by the same sk that sent out the syncookie. For example, if reuse->socks[] began with {sk0, sk1}, 1) sk1 sent out syncookies and tcp_sk(sk1)->rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp was updated. 2) the reuse->socks[] became {sk1, sk2} later. e.g. sk0 was first closed and then sk2 was added. Here, sk2 does not have ts_recent_stamp set. There are other ordering that will trigger the similar situation below but the idea is the same. 3) When the TCP-ACK-COOKIE comes back, sk2 was selected. "tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow(sk2)" returns true. In this case, all syncookies sent by sk1 will be handled (and rejected) by sk2 while sk1 is still alive. The userspace may create and remove listening SO_REUSEPORT sockets as it sees fit. E.g. Adding new thread (and SO_REUSEPORT sock) to handle incoming requests, old process stopping and new process starting...etc. With or without SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_[CB]BPF, the sockets leaving and joining a reuseport group makes picking the same sk to check the syncookie very difficult (if not impossible). The later patches will allow bpf prog more flexibility in deciding where a sk should be located in a bpf map and selecting a particular SO_REUSEPORT sock as it sees fit. e.g. Without closing any sock, replace the whole bpf reuseport_array in one map_update() by using map-in-map. Getting the syncookie check working smoothly across socks in the same "reuse->socks[]" is important. A partial solution is to set the newly added sk's ts_recent_stamp to the max ts_recent_stamp of a reuseport group but that will require to iterate through reuse->socks[] OR pessimistically set it to "now - TCP_SYNCOOKIE_VALID" when a sk is joining a reuseport group. However, neither of them will solve the existing sk getting moved around the reuse->socks[] and that sk may not have ts_recent_stamp updated, unlikely under continuous synflood but not impossible. This patch opts to treat the reuseport group as a whole when considering the last synq overflow timestamp since they are serving the same IP:PORT from the userspace (and BPF program) perspective. "synq_overflow_ts" is added to "struct sock_reuseport". The tcp_synq_overflow() and tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() will update/check reuse->synq_overflow_ts if the sk is in a reuseport group. Similar to the reuseport decision in __inet_lookup_listener(), both sk->sk_reuseport and sk->sk_reuseport_cb are tested for SO_REUSEPORT usage. Update on "synq_overflow_ts" happens at roughly once every second. A synflood test was done with a 16 rx-queues and 16 reuseport sockets. No meaningful performance change is observed. Before and after the change is ~9Mpps in IPv4.
