tcp: add TCP_INFO status for failed client TFO

2019-10-26T02:25:37Z

The TCPI_OPT_SYN_DATA bit as part of tcpi_options currently reports whether or not data-in-SYN was ack'd on both the client and server side. We'd like to gather more information on the client-side in the failure case in order to indicate the reason for the failure. This can be useful for not only debugging TFO, but also for creating TFO socket policies. For example, if a middle box removes the TFO option or drops a data-in-SYN, we can can detect this case, and turn off TFO for these connections saving the extra retransmits. The newly added tcpi_fastopen_client_fail status is 2 bits and has the following 4 states: 1) TFO_STATUS_UNSPEC Catch-all state which includes when TFO is disabled via black hole detection, which is indicated via LINUX_MIB_TCPFASTOPENBLACKHOLE. 2) TFO_COOKIE_UNAVAILABLE If TFO_CLIENT_NO_COOKIE mode is off, this state indicates that no cookie is available in the cache. 3) TFO_DATA_NOT_ACKED Data was sent with SYN, we received a SYN/ACK but it did not cover the data portion. Cookie is not accepted by server because the cookie may be invalid or the server may be overloaded. 4) TFO_SYN_RETRANSMITTED Data was sent with SYN, we received a SYN/ACK which did not cover the data after at least 1 additional SYN was sent (without data). It may be the case that a middle-box is dropping data-in-SYN packets. Thus, it would be more efficient to not use TFO on this connection to avoid extra retransmits during connection establishment. These new fields do not cover all the cases where TFO may fail, but other failures, such as SYN/ACK + data being dropped, will result in the connection not becoming established. And a connection blackhole after session establishment shows up as a stalled connection.

tcp: Add snd_wnd to TCP_INFO

2019-09-16T14:26:11Z

Neal Cardwell mentioned that snd_wnd would be useful for diagnosing TCP performance problems -- > (1) Usually when we're diagnosing TCP performance problems, we do so > from the sender, since the sender makes most of the > performance-critical decisions (cwnd, pacing, TSO size, TSQ, etc). > From the sender-side the thing that would be most useful is to see > tp->snd_wnd, the receive window that the receiver has advertised to > the sender. This serves the purpose of adding an additional __u32 to avoid the would-be hole caused by the addition of the tcpi_rcvi_ooopack field.

tcp: Add TCP_INFO counter for packets received out-of-order

2019-09-16T14:26:11Z

For receive-heavy cases on the server-side, we want to track the connection quality for individual client IPs. This counter, similar to the existing system-wide TCPOFOQueue counter in /proc/net/netstat, tracks out-of-order packet reception. By providing this counter in TCP_INFO, it will allow understanding to what degree receive-heavy sockets are experiencing out-of-order delivery and packet drops indicating congestion. Please note that this is similar to the counter in NetBSD TCP_INFO, and has the same name. Also note that we avoid increasing the size of the tcp_sock struct by taking advantage of a hole.

tcp: add optional per socket transmit delay

2019-06-12T20:05:43Z

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.

tcp: add stat of data packet reordering events

2018-08-01T16:56:10Z

Introduce a new TCP stats to record the number of reordering events seen and expose it in both tcp_info (TCP_INFO) and opt_stats (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS). Application can use this stats to track the frequency of the reordering events in addition to the existing reordering stats which tracks the magnitude of the latest reordering event. Note: this new stats tracks reordering events triggered by ACKs, which could often be fewer than the actual number of packets being delivered out-of-order.
