tcp: avoid integer overflows in tcp_rcv_space_adjust()

2018-06-05T09:41:58Z

commit 607065bad9931e72207b0cac365d7d4abc06bd99 upstream. When using large tcp_rmem[2] values (I did tests with 500 MB), I noticed overflows while computing rcvwin. Lets fix this before the following patch. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh Acked-by: Wei Wang Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: invalidate rate samples during SACK reneging

2018-01-02T19:31:09Z

[ Upstream commit d4761754b4fb2ef8d9a1e9d121c4bec84e1fe292 ] Mark tcp_sock during a SACK reneging event and invalidate rate samples while marked. Such rate samples may overestimate bw by including packets that were SACKed before reneging. < ack 6001 win 10000 sack 7001:38001 < ack 7001 win 0 sack 8001:38001 // Reneg detected > seq 7001:8001 // RTO, SACK cleared. < ack 38001 win 10000 In above example the rate sample taken after the last ack will count 7001-38001 as delivered while the actual delivery rate likely could be much lower i.e. 7001-8001. This patch adds a new field tcp_sock.sack_reneg and marks it when we declare SACK reneging and entering TCP_CA_Loss, and unmarks it after the last rate sample was taken before moving back to TCP_CA_Open. This patch also invalidates rate samples taken while tcp_sock.is_sack_reneg is set.

tcp: Revert "tcp: remove header prediction"

2017-08-30T18:20:09Z

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. Reported-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: fix cwnd undo in Reno and HTCP congestion controls

2017-08-07T04:25:10Z

Using ssthresh to revert cwnd is less reliable when ssthresh is bounded to 2 packets. This patch uses an existing variable in TCP "prior_cwnd" that snapshots the cwnd right before entering fast recovery and RTO recovery in Reno.

tcp: remove header prediction

2017-07-31T21:37:49Z

Like prequeue, I am not sure this is overly useful nowadays. If we receive a train of packets, GRO will aggregate them if the headers are the same (HP predates GRO by several years) so we don't get a per-packet benefit, only a per-aggregated-packet one.

tcp: remove prequeue support

2017-07-31T21:37:49Z

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.

tcp: switch TCP TS option (RFC 7323) to 1ms clock

2017-05-17T20:06:01Z

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.

tcp: internal implementation for pacing

2017-05-16T19:43:31Z

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.

tcp: switch rcv_rtt_est and rcvq_space to high resolution timestamps

2017-04-26T18:44:39Z

Some devices or distributions use HZ=100 or HZ=250 TCP receive buffer autotuning has poor behavior caused by this choice. Since autotuning happens after 4 ms or 10 ms, short distance flows get their receive buffer tuned to a very high value, but after an initial period where it was frozen to (too small) initial value. With tp->tcp_mstamp introduction, we can switch to high resolution timestamps almost for free (at the expense of 8 additional bytes per TCP structure) Note that some TCP stacks use usec TCP timestamps where this patch makes even more sense : Many TCP flows have < 500 usec RTT. Hopefully this finer TS option can be standardized soon. Tested: HZ=100 kernel ./netperf -H lpaa24 -t TCP_RR -l 1000 -- -r 10000,10000 & Peer without patch : lpaa24:~# ss -tmi dst lpaa23 ... skmem:(r0,rb8388608,...) rcv_rtt:10 rcv_space:3210000 minrtt:0.017 Peer with the patch : lpaa23:~# ss -tmi dst lpaa24 ... skmem:(r0,rb428800,...) rcv_rtt:0.069 rcv_space:30000 minrtt:0.017 We can see saner RCVBUF, and more precise rcv_rtt information.

tcp: add tp->tcp_mstamp field

2017-04-26T18:44:36Z

We want to use precise timestamps in TCP stack, but we do not want to call possibly expensive kernel time services too often. tp->tcp_mstamp is guaranteed to be updated once per incoming packet. We will use it in the following patches, removing specific skb_mstamp_get() calls, and removing ack_time from struct tcp_sacktag_state.
