[ Upstream commit 8b485ce69876c65db12ed390e7f9c0d2a64eff2c ]

Under fuzzer stress, it is possible that a child gets a non NULL
fastopen_req pointer from its parent at accept() time, when/if parent
morphs from listener to active session.

We need to make sure this can not happen, by clearing the field after
socket cloning.

[ Upstream commit 15bb7745e94a665caf42bfaabf0ce062845b533b ]

icsk_ack.lrcvtime has a 0 value at socket creation time.

tcpi_last_data_recv can have bogus value if no payload is ever received.

This patch initializes icsk_ack.lrcvtime for active sessions
in tcp_finish_connect(), and for passive sessions in
tcp_create_openreq_child()

<title>tcp: track application-limited rate samples</title>

<content type='text'>
This commit adds code to track whether the delivery rate represented
by each rate_sample was limited by the application.

Upon each transmit, we store in the is_app_limited field in the skb a
boolean bit indicating whether there is a known "bubble in the pipe":
a point in the rate sample interval where the sender was
application-limited, and did not transmit even though the cwnd and
pacing rate allowed it.

This logic marks the flow app-limited on a write if *all* of the
following are true:

  1) There is less than 1 MSS of unsent data in the write queue
     available to transmit.

  2) There is no packet in the sender's queues (e.g. in fq or the NIC
     tx queue).

  3) The connection is not limited by cwnd.

  4) There are no lost packets to retransmit.

The tcp_rate_check_app_limited() code in tcp_rate.c determines whether
the connection is application-limited at the moment. If the flow is
application-limited, it sets the tp-&gt;app_limited field. If the flow is
application-limited then that means there is effectively a "bubble" of
silence in the pipe now, and this silence will be reflected in a lower
bandwidth sample for any rate samples from now until we get an ACK
indicating this bubble has exited the pipe: specifically, until we get
an ACK for the next packet we transmit.

When we send every skb we record in scb-&gt;tx.is_app_limited whether the
resulting rate sample will be application-limited.

The code in tcp_rate_gen() checks to see when it is safe to mark all
known application-limited bubbles of silence as having exited the
pipe. It does this by checking to see when the delivered count moves
past the tp-&gt;app_limited marker. At this point it zeroes the
tp-&gt;app_limited marker, as all known bubbles are out of the pipe.

We make room for the tx.is_app_limited bit in the skb by borrowing a
bit from the in_flight field used by NV to record the number of bytes
in flight. The receive window in the TCP header is 16 bits, and the
max receive window scaling shift factor is 14 (RFC 1323). So the max
receive window offered by the TCP protocol is 2^(16+14) = 2^30. So we
only need 30 bits for the tx.in_flight used by NV.

This commit adds code to track whether the delivery rate represented
by each rate_sample was limited by the application.

Upon each transmit, we store in the is_app_limited field in the skb a
boolean bit indicating whether there is a known "bubble in the pipe":
a point in the rate sample interval where the sender was
application-limited, and did not transmit even though the cwnd and
pacing rate allowed it.

This logic marks the flow app-limited on a write if *all* of the
following are true:

  1) There is less than 1 MSS of unsent data in the write queue
     available to transmit.

  2) There is no packet in the sender's queues (e.g. in fq or the NIC
     tx queue).

  3) The connection is not limited by cwnd.

  4) There are no lost packets to retransmit.

The tcp_rate_check_app_limited() code in tcp_rate.c determines whether
the connection is application-limited at the moment. If the flow is
application-limited, it sets the tp-&gt;app_limited field. If the flow is
application-limited then that means there is effectively a "bubble" of

<title>tcp: use windowed min filter library for TCP min_rtt estimation</title>

Refactor the TCP min_rtt code to reuse the new win_minmax library in
lib/win_minmax.c to simplify the TCP code.

This is a pure refactor: the functionality is exactly the same. We
just moved the windowed min code to make TCP easier to read and
maintain, and to allow other parts of the kernel to use the windowed
min/max filter code.

<title>tcp: use an RB tree for ooo receive queue</title>

<id>9f5afeae51526b3ad7b7cb21ee8b145ce6ea7a7a</id>
<content type='text'>
Over the years, TCP BDP has increased by several orders of magnitude,
and some people are considering to reach the 2 Gbytes limit.

Even with current window scale limit of 14, ~1 Gbytes maps to ~740,000
MSS.

In presence of packet losses (or reorders), TCP stores incoming packets
into an out of order queue, and number of skbs sitting there waiting for
the missing packets to be received can be in the 10^5 range.

Most packets are appended to the tail of this queue, and when
packets can finally be transferred to receive queue, we scan the queue
from its head.

However, in presence of heavy losses, we might have to find an arbitrary
point in this queue, involving a linear scan for every incoming packet,
throwing away cpu caches.

This patch converts it to a RB tree, to get bounded latencies.

Yaogong wrote a preliminary patch about 2 years ago.
Eric did the rebase, added ofo_last_skb cache, polishing and tests.

Tested with network dropping between 1 and 10 % packets, with good
success (about 30 % increase of throughput in stress tests)

Next step would be to also use an RB tree for the write queue at sender
side ;)

We want to to make TCP stack preemptible, as draining prequeue
and backlog queues can take lot of time.

Many SNMP updates were assuming that BH (and preemption) was disabled.

Need to convert some __NET_INC_STATS() calls to NET_INC_STATS()
and some __TCP_INC_STATS() to TCP_INC_STATS()

Before using this_cpu_ptr(net-&gt;ipv4.tcp_sk) in tcp_v4_send_reset()
and tcp_v4_send_ack(), we add an explicit preempt disabled section.

Attackers like to use SYNFLOOD targeting one 5-tuple, as they
hit a single RX queue (and cpu) on the victim.

If they use random sequence numbers in their SYN, we detect
they do not match the expected window and send back an ACK.

This patch adds a rate limitation, so that the effect of such
attacks is limited to ingress only.

We roughly double our ability to absorb such attacks.

Per RFC4898, they count segments sent/received
containing a positive length data segment (that includes
retransmission segments carrying data).  Unlike
tcpi_segs_out/in, tcpi_data_segs_out/in excludes segments
carrying no data (e.g. pure ack).

The patch also updates the segs_in in tcp_fastopen_add_skb()
so that segs_in &gt;= data_segs_in property is kept.

Together with retransmission data, tcpi_data_segs_out
gives a better signal on the rxmit rate.

v6: Rebase on the latest net-next

v5: Eric pointed out that checking skb-&gt;len is still needed in
tcp_fastopen_add_skb() because skb can carry a FIN without data.
Hence, instead of open coding segs_in and data_segs_in, tcp_segs_in()
helper is used.  Comment is added to the fastopen case to explain why
segs_in has to be reset and tcp_segs_in() has to be called before
__skb_pull().

v4: Add comment to the changes in tcp_fastopen_add_skb()
and also add remark on this case in the commit message.

v3: Add const modifier to the skb parameter in tcp_segs_in()

v2: Rework based on recent fix by Eric:
