Some applications set tiny SO_SNDBUF values and expect
TCP to just work. Recent patches to address CVE-2019-11478
broke them in case of losses, since retransmits might
be prevented.
We should allow these flows to make progress.
This patch allows the first and last skb in retransmit queue
to be split even if memory limits are hit.
It also adds the some room due to the fact that tcp_sendmsg()
and tcp_sendpage() might overshoot sk_wmem_queued by about one full
TSO skb (64KB size). Note this allowance was already present
in stable backports for kernels < 4.15
Note for < 4.15 backports :
tcp_rtx_queue_tail() will probably look like :
static inline struct sk_buff *tcp_rtx_queue_tail(const struct sock *sk)
{
struct sk_buff *skb = tcp_send_head(sk);
return skb ? tcp_write_queue_prev(sk, skb) : tcp_write_queue_tail(sk);
}

Neal reported incorrect use of ns_capable() from bpf hook.
bpf_setsockopt(...TCP_CONGESTION...)
-> tcp_set_congestion_control()
-> ns_capable(sock_net(sk)->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN)
-> ns_capable_common()
-> current_cred()
-> rcu_dereference_protected(current->cred, 1)
Accessing 'current' in bpf context makes no sense, since packets
are processed from softirq context.
As Neal stated : The capability check in tcp_set_congestion_control()
was written assuming a system call context, and then was reused from
a BPF call site.
The fix is to add a new parameter to tcp_set_congestion_control(),
so that the ns_capable() call is only performed under the right
context.

Some changes to the TCP fastopen code to make it more robust
against future changes in the choice of key/cookie size, etc.
- Instead of keeping the SipHash key in an untyped u8[] buffer
and casting it to the right type upon use, use the correct
type directly. This ensures that the key will appear at the
correct alignment if we ever change the way these data
structures are allocated. (Currently, they are only allocated
via kmalloc so they always appear at the correct alignment)
- Use DIV_ROUND_UP when sizing the u64[] array to hold the
cookie, so it is always of sufficient size, even if
TCP_FASTOPEN_COOKIE_MAX is no longer a multiple of 8.
- Drop the 'len' parameter from the tcp_fastopen_reset_cipher()
function, which is no longer used.
- Add endian swabbing when setting the keys and calculating the hash,
to ensure that cookie values are the same for a given key and
source/destination address pair regardless of the endianness of
the server.
Note that none of these are functional changes wrt the current
state of the code, with the exception of the swabbing, which only
affects big endian systems.

Jonathan Looney reported that TCP can trigger the following crash
in tcp_shifted_skb() :
BUG_ON(tcp_skb_pcount(skb) < pcount);
This can happen if the remote peer has advertized the smallest
MSS that linux TCP accepts : 48
An skb can hold 17 fragments, and each fragment can hold 32KB
on x86, or 64KB on PowerPC.
This means that the 16bit witdh of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs
can overflow.
Note that tcp_sendmsg() builds skbs with less than 64KB
of payload, so this problem needs SACK to be enabled.
SACK blocks allow TCP to coalesce multiple skbs in the retransmit
queue, thus filling the 17 fragments to maximal capacity.
CVE-2019-11477 -- u16 overflow of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs

Using a bare block cipher in non-crypto code is almost always a bad idea,
not only for security reasons (and we've seen some examples of this in
the kernel in the past), but also for performance reasons.
In the TCP fastopen case, we call into the bare AES block cipher one or
two times (depending on whether the connection is IPv4 or IPv6). On most
systems, this results in a call chain such as
crypto_cipher_encrypt_one(ctx, dst, src)
crypto_cipher_crt(tfm)->cit_encrypt_one(crypto_cipher_tfm(tfm), ...);
aesni_encrypt
kernel_fpu_begin();
aesni_enc(ctx, dst, src); // asm routine
kernel_fpu_end();
It is highly unlikely that the use of special AES instructions has a
benefit in this case, especially since we are doing the above twice
for IPv6 connections, instead of using a transform which can process
the entire input in one go.
We could switch to the cbcmac(aes) shash, which would at least get
rid of the duplicated overhead in *some* cases (i.e., today, only
arm64 has an accelerated implementation of cbcmac(aes), while x86 will
end up using the generic cbcmac template wrapping the AES-NI cipher,
which basically ends up doing exactly the above). However, in the given
context, it makes more sense to use a light-weight MAC algorithm that
is more suitable for the purpose at hand, such as SipHash.
Since the output size of SipHash already matches our chosen value for
TCP_FASTOPEN_COOKIE_SIZE, and given that it accepts arbitrary input
sizes, this greatly simplifies the code as well.
NOTE: Server farms backing a single server IP for load balancing purposes
and sharing a single fastopen key will be adversely affected by
this change unless all systems in the pool receive their kernel
upgrades at the same time.

If we want to set a EDT time for the skb we want to send
via ip_send_unicast_reply(), we have to pass a new parameter
and initialize ipc.sockc.transmit_time with it.
This fixes the EDT time for ACK/RST packets sent on behalf of
a TIME_WAIT socket.

Adding delays to TCP flows is crucial for studying behavior
of TCP stacks, including congestion control modules.
Linux offers netem module, but it has unpractical constraints :
- Need root access to change qdisc
- Hard to setup on egress if combined with non trivial qdisc like FQ
- Single delay for all flows.
EDT (Earliest Departure Time) adoption in TCP stack allows us
to enable a per socket delay at a very small cost.
Networking tools can now establish thousands of flows, each of them
with a different delay, simulating real world conditions.
This requires FQ packet scheduler or a EDT-enabled NIC.
This patchs adds TCP_TX_DELAY socket option, to set a delay in
usec units.
unsigned int tx_delay = 10000; /* 10 msec */
setsockopt(fd, SOL_TCP, TCP_TX_DELAY, &tx_delay, sizeof(tx_delay));
Note that FQ packet scheduler limits might need some tweaking :
man tc-fq
PARAMETERS
limit
Hard limit on the real queue size. When this limit is
reached, new packets are dropped. If the value is lowered,
packets are dropped so that the new limit is met. Default
is 10000 packets.
flow_limit
Hard limit on the maximum number of packets queued per
flow. Default value is 100.
Use of TCP_TX_DELAY option will increase number of skbs in FQ qdisc,
so packets would be dropped if any of the previous limit is hit.
Use of a jump label makes this support runtime-free, for hosts
never using the option.
Also note that TSQ (TCP Small Queues) limits are slightly changed
with this patch : we need to account that skbs artificially delayed
wont stop us providind more skbs to feed the pipe (netem uses
skb_orphan_partial() for this purpose, but FQ can not use this trick)
Because of that, using big delays might very well trigger
old bugs in TSO auto defer logic and/or sndbuf limited detection.

We would like to be able to rotate TFO keys while minimizing the number of
client cookies that are rejected. Currently, we have only one key which can
be used to generate and validate cookies, thus if we simply replace this
key clients can easily have cookies rejected upon rotation.
We propose having the ability to have both a primary key and a backup key.
The primary key is used to generate as well as to validate cookies.
The backup is only used to validate cookies. Thus, keys can be rotated as:
1) generate new key
2) add new key as the backup key
3) swap the primary and backup key, thus setting the new key as the primary
We don't simply set the new key as the primary key and move the old key to
the backup slot because the ip may be behind a load balancer and we further
allow for the fact that all machines behind the load balancer will not be
updated simultaneously.
We make use of this infrastructure in subsequent patches.

User space can flip the clean_acked_data_enabled static branch
on and off with TLS offload when CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE is enabled.
jump_label.h suggests we use the delayed version in this case.
Deferred branches now also don't take the branch mutex on
decrement, so we avoid potential locking issues.

Accept MSG_ZEROCOPY in all the TCP states that allow sendmsg. Remove
the explicit check for ESTABLISHED and CLOSE_WAIT states.
This requires correctly handling zerocopy state (uarg, sk_zckey) in
all paths reachable from other TCP states. Such as the EPIPE case
in sk_stream_wait_connect, which a sendmsg() in incorrect state will
now hit. Most paths are already safe.
Only extension needed is for TCP Fastopen active open. This can build
an skb with data in tcp_send_syn_data. Pass the uarg along with other
fastopen state, so that this skb also generates a zerocopy
notification on release.
Tested with active and passive tcp fastopen packetdrill scripts at

TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option or sysctl was added in linux-3.12
as a step to enable bigger tcp sndbuf limits.
It works reasonably well, but the following happens :
Once the limit is reached, TCP stack generates
an [E]POLLOUT event for every incoming ACK packet.
This causes a high number of context switches.
This patch implements the strategy David Miller added
in sock_def_write_space() :
- If TCP socket has a notsent_lowat constraint of X bytes,
allow sendmsg() to fill up to X bytes, but send [E]POLLOUT
only if number of notsent bytes is below X/2
This considerably reduces TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT overhead,
while allowing to keep the pipe full.

Jean-Louis Dupond reported poor iscsi TCP receive performance
that we tracked to backlog drops.
Apparently we fail to send window updates reflecting the
fact that we are under stress.
Note that we might lack a proper window increase when
backlog is fully processed, since __release_sock() clears
sk->sk_backlog.len _after_ all skbs have been processed.
This should not matter in practice. If we had a significant
load through socket backlog, we are in a dangerous
situation.

Tell the compiler that most TCP flows are using SACK these days.
There is no need to add the unlikely() clause in tcp_is_reno(),
the compiler is able to infer it.

Currently we can use bpf or tcp tracepoint to conveniently trace the tcp
state transition at the run time.
So we don't need to do this stuff at the compile time anymore.

We'll need this to handle ICMP errors for tunnels without a sending socket
(i.e. FoU and GUE). There, we might have to look up different types of IP
tunnels, registered as network protocols, before we get a match, so we
want this for the error handlers of IPPROTO_IPIP and IPPROTO_IPV6 in both
inet_protos and inet6_protos. These error codes will be used in the next
patch.
For consistency, return sensible error codes in protocol error handlers
whenever handlers can't handle errors because, even if valid, they don't
match a protocol or any of its states.
This has no effect on existing error handling paths.

With EDT model, SRTT no longer is inflated by pacing delays.
This means that RTO and some other xmit timers might be setup
incorrectly. This is particularly visible with either :
- Very small enforced pacing rates (SO_MAX_PACING_RATE)
- Reduced rto (from the default 200 ms)
This can lead to TCP flows aborts in the worst case,
or spurious retransmits in other cases.
For example, this session gets far more throughput
than the requested 80kbit :
$ netperf -H 127.0.0.2 -l 100 -- -q 10000
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 127.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET

540000 262144 262144 104.00 2.66
With the fix :
$ netperf -H 127.0.0.2 -l 100 -- -q 10000
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 127.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET

EDT allows for better control of rtx timers, since TCP has
a better idea of the earliest departure time of each skb
in the rtx queue. We only have to eventually add to the
timer the difference of the EDT time with current time.

Add a generic sk_msg layer, and convert current sockmap and later
kTLS over to make use of it. While sk_buff handles network packet
representation from netdevice up to socket, sk_msg handles data
representation from application to socket layer.
This means that sk_msg framework spans across ULP users in the
kernel, and enables features such as introspection or filtering
of data with the help of BPF programs that operate on this data
structure.
Latter becomes in particular useful for kTLS where data encryption
is deferred into the kernel, and as such enabling the kernel to
perform L7 introspection and policy based on BPF for TLS connections
where the record is being encrypted after BPF has run and came to
a verdict. In order to get there, first step is to transform open
coding of scatter-gather list handling into a common core framework
that subsystems can use.
The code itself has been split and refactored into three bigger
pieces: i) the generic sk_msg API which deals with managing the
scatter gather ring, providing helpers for walking and mangling,
transferring application data from user space into it, and preparing
it for BPF pre/post-processing, ii) the plain sock map itself
where sockets can be attached to or detached from; these bits
are independent of i) which can now be used also without sock
map, and iii) the integration with plain TCP as one protocol
to be used for processing L7 application data (later this could
e.g. also be extended to other protocols like UDP). The semantics
are the same with the old sock map code and therefore no change
of user facing behavior or APIs. While pursuing this work it
also helped finding a number of bugs in the old sockmap code
that we've fixed already in earlier commits. The test_sockmap
kselftest suite passes through fine as well.

In the recent TCP/EDT patch series, I switched TCP and sch_fq
clocks from MONOTONIC to TAI, in order to meet the choice done
earlier for sch_etf packet scheduler.
But sure enough, this broke some setups were the TAI clock
jumps forward (by almost 50 year...), as reported
by Leonard Crestez.
If we want to converge later, we'll probably need to add
an skb field to differentiate the clock bases, or a socket option.
In the meantime, an UDP application will need to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC
base for its SCM_TXTIME timestamps if using fq packet scheduler.

Switch internal TCP skb->skb_mstamp to skb->skb_mstamp_ns,
from usec units to nsec units.
Do not clear skb->tstamp before entering IP stacks in TX,
so that qdisc or devices can implement pacing based on the
earliest departure time instead of socket sk->sk_pacing_rate
Packets are fed with tcp_wstamp_ns, and following patch
will update tcp_wstamp_ns when both TCP and sch_fq switch to
the earliest departure time mechanism.

TCP pacing is either implemented in sch_fq or internally.
We have the goal of being able to offload pacing on the NICS.
TCP will soon provide per skb skb->tstamp as early departure time.
Like ETF in commit 25db26a91364 ("net/sched: Introduce the ETF Qdisc")
we chose CLOCK_T as the clock base, so that TCP and pacers can share
a common clock, to get better RTT samples (without pacing artificially
inflating these samples).

Lets not turn the TCP ULP lookup into an arbitrary module loader as
we only intend to load ULP modules through this mechanism, not other
unrelated kernel modules:
[root@bar]# cat foo.c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <linux/tcp.h>
#include <linux/in.h>
int main(void)
{
int sock = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
setsockopt(sock, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_ULP, "sctp", sizeof("sctp"));
return 0;
}
[root@bar]# gcc foo.c -O2 -Wall
[root@bar]# lsmod | grep sctp
[root@bar]# ./a.out
[root@bar]# lsmod | grep sctp
sctp 1077248 4
libcrc32c 16384 3 nf_conntrack,nf_nat,sctp
[root@bar]#
Fix it by adding module alias to TCP ULP modules, so probing module
via request_module() will be limited to tcp-ulp-[name]. The existing
modules like kTLS will load fine given tcp-ulp-tls alias, but others
will fail to load:
[root@bar]# lsmod | grep sctp
[root@bar]# ./a.out
[root@bar]# lsmod | grep sctp
[root@bar]#
Sockmap is not affected from this since it's either built-in or not.

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.

where eth1 is enslaved to a VRF
switch: ip -6 ro add 2001:db8:104::4/128 dev br1
where br1 only has an LLA
ping6 2001:db8:104::4
ssh 2001:db8:104::4
(NOTE: UDP works fine if the PKTINFO has the address set to the global
address and ifindex is set to the index of eth1 with a destination an
LLA).
For ICMP, icmp6_iif needs to be updated to check if skb->dev is an
L3 master. If it is then return the ifindex from rt6i_idev similar
to what is done for loopback.
For TCP, restore the original tcp_v6_iif definition which is needed in
most places and add a new tcp_v6_iif_l3_slave that considers the
l3_slave variability. This latter check is only needed for socket
lookups.

Per DCTCP RFC8257 (Section 3.2) the ACK reflecting the CE status change
has to be sent immediately so the sender can respond quickly:
""" When receiving packets, the CE codepoint MUST be processed as follows:
1. If the CE codepoint is set and DCTCP.CE is false, set DCTCP.CE to
true and send an immediate ACK.
2. If the CE codepoint is not set and DCTCP.CE is true, set DCTCP.CE
to false and send an immediate ACK.
"""
Previously DCTCP implementation may continue to delay the ACK. This
patch fixes that to implement the RFC by forcing an immediate ACK.

Currently when a DCTCP receiver delays an ACK and receive a
data packet with a different CE mark from the previous one's, it
sends two immediate ACKs acking previous and latest sequences
respectly (for ECN accounting).
Previously sending the first ACK may mark off the delayed ACK timer
(tcp_event_ack_sent). This may subsequently prevent sending the
second ACK to acknowledge the latest sequence (tcp_ack_snd_check).
The culprit is that tcp_send_ack() assumes it always acknowleges
the latest sequence, which is not true for the first special ACK.
The fix is to not make the assumption in tcp_send_ack and check the
actual ack sequence before cancelling the delayed ACK. Further it's
safer to pass the ack sequence number as a local variable into
tcp_send_ack routine, instead of intercepting tp->rcv_nxt to avoid
future bugs like this.

In commit
'bpf: bpf_compute_data uses incorrect cb structure' (8108a7751512)
we added the routine bpf_compute_data_end_sk_skb() to compute the
correct data_end values, but this has since been lost. In kernel
v4.14 this was correct and the above patch was applied in it
entirety. Then when v4.14 was merged into v4.15-rc1 net-next tree
we lost the piece that renamed bpf_compute_data_pointers to the
new function bpf_compute_data_end_sk_skb. This was done here,
e1ea2f9856b7 ("Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net")
When it conflicted with the following rename patch,
6aaae2b6c433 ("bpf: rename bpf_compute_data_end into bpf_compute_data_pointers")
Finally, after a refactor I thought even the function
bpf_compute_data_end_sk_skb() was no longer needed and it was
erroneously removed.
However, we never reverted the sk_skb_convert_ctx_access() usage of
tcp_skb_cb which had been committed and survived the merge conflict.
Here we fix this by adding back the helper and *_data_end_sk_skb()
usage. Using the bpf_skc_data_end mapping is not correct because it
expects a qdisc_skb_cb object but at the sock layer this is not the
case. Even though it happens to work here because we don't overwrite
any data in-use at the socket layer and the cb structure is cleared
later this has potential to create some subtle issues. But, even
more concretely the filter.c access check uses tcp_skb_cb.
And by some act of chance though,
struct bpf_skb_data_end {
struct qdisc_skb_cb qdisc_cb; /* 0 28 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
void * data_meta; /* 32 8 */
void * data_end; /* 40 8 */
/* size: 48, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* sum members: 44, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 48 bytes */
};
and then tcp_skb_cb,
struct tcp_skb_cb {
[...]
struct {
__u32 flags; /* 24 4 */
struct sock * sk_redir; /* 32 8 */
void * data_end; /* 40 8 */
} bpf; /* 24 */
};
So when we use offset_of() to track down the byte offset we get 40 in
either case and everything continues to work. Fix this mess and use
correct structures its unclear how long this might actually work for
until someone moves the structs around.

Using get_seconds() for timestamps is deprecated since it can lead
to overflows on 32-bit systems. While the interface generally doesn't
overflow until year 2106, the specific implementation of the TCP PAWS
algorithm breaks in 2038 when the intermediate signed 32-bit timestamps
overflow.
A related problem is that the local timestamps in CLOCK_REALTIME form
lead to unexpected behavior when settimeofday is called to set the system
clock backwards or forwards by more than 24 days.
While the first problem could be solved by using an overflow-safe method
of comparing the timestamps, a nicer solution is to use a monotonic
clocksource with ktime_get_seconds() that simply doesn't overflow (at
least not until 136 years after boot) and that doesn't change during
settimeofday().
To make 32-bit and 64-bit architectures behave the same way here, and
also save a few bytes in the tcp_options_received structure, I'm changing
the type to a 32-bit integer, which is now safe on all architectures.
Finally, the ts_recent_stamp field also (confusingly) gets used to store
a jiffies value in tcp_synq_overflow()/tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow().
This is currently safe, but changing the type to 32-bit requires
some small changes there to keep it working.

Congestion control algorithms, which access the rate sample
through the tcp_cong_control function, only have access to the maximum
of the send and receive interval, for cases where the acknowledgment
rate may be inaccurate due to ACK compression or decimation. Algorithms
may want to use send rates and receive rates as separate signals.

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.
Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections.
But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.
