For some reason, tcp_grow_window() correctly tests if enough room
is present before attempting to increase tp-&gt;rcv_ssthresh,
but does not prevent it to grow past tcp_space()

This is causing hard to debug issues, like failing
the (__tcp_select_window(sk) &gt;= tp-&gt;rcv_wnd) test
in __tcp_ack_snd_check(), causing ACK delays and possibly
slow flows.

Depending on tcp_rmem[2], MTU, skb-&gt;len/skb-&gt;truesize ratio,
we can see the problem happening on "netperf -t TCP_RR -- -r 2000,2000"
after about 60 round trips, when the active side no longer sends
immediate acks.

This bug predates git history.

<title>dctcp: more accurate tracking of packets delivery</title>

After commit e21db6f69a95 ("tcp: track total bytes delivered with ECN CE marks")
core TCP stack does a very good job tracking ECN signals.

The "sender's best estimate of CE information" Yuchung mentioned in his
patch is indeed the best we can do.

DCTCP can use tp-&gt;delivered_ce and tp-&gt;delivered to not duplicate the logic,
and use the existing best estimate.

This solves some problems, since current DCTCP logic does not deal with losses
and/or GRO or ack aggregation very well.

This also removes a dubious use of inet_csk(sk)-&gt;icsk_ack.rcv_mss
(this should have been tp-&gt;mss_cache), and a 64 bit divide.

Finally, we can see that the DCTCP logic, calling dctcp_update_alpha() for
every ACK could be done differently, calling it only once per RTT.

<title>tcp: Ensure DCTCP reacts to losses</title>

<id>aecfde23108b8e637d9f5c5e523b24fb97035dc3</id>
<content type='text'>
RFC8257 §3.5 explicitly states that "A DCTCP sender MUST react to
loss episodes in the same way as conventional TCP".

Currently, Linux DCTCP performs no cwnd reduction when losses
are encountered. Optionally, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss resets
alpha to its maximal value if a RTO happens. This behavior
is sub-optimal for at least two reasons: i) it ignores losses
triggering fast retransmissions; and ii) it causes unnecessary large
cwnd reduction in the future if the loss was isolated as it resets
the historical term of DCTCP's alpha EWMA to its maximal value (i.e.,
denoting a total congestion). The second reason has an especially
noticeable effect when using DCTCP in high BDP environments, where
alpha normally stays at low values.

This patch replace the clamping of alpha by setting ssthresh to
half of cwnd for both fast retransmissions and RTOs, at most once
per RTT. Consequently, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss module parameter
has been removed.

The table below shows experimental results where we measured the
drop probability of a PIE AQM (not applying ECN marks) at a
bottleneck in the presence of a single TCP flow with either the
alpha-clamping option enabled or the cwnd halving proposed by this
patch. Results using reno or cubic are given for comparison.

                          |  Link   |   RTT    |    Drop
                 TCP CC   |  speed  | base+AQM | probability
        ==================|=========|==========|============
                    CUBIC |  40Mbps |  7+20ms  |    0.21%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.19%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   25.80%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.22%
        ------------------|---------|----------|------------
                    CUBIC | 100Mbps |  7+20ms  |    0.03%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.02%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   23.30%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.04%
        ------------------|---------|----------|------------
                    CUBIC | 800Mbps |   1+1ms  |    0.04%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.05%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   18.70%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.06%

We see that, without halving its cwnd for all source of losses,
DCTCP drives the AQM to large drop probabilities in order to keep
the queue length under control (i.e., it repeatedly faces RTOs).
Instead, if DCTCP reacts to all source of losses, it can then be
controlled by the AQM using similar drop levels than cubic or reno.

RFC8257 §3.5 explicitly states that "A DCTCP sender MUST react to
loss episodes in the same way as conventional TCP".

Currently, Linux DCTCP performs no cwnd reduction when losses
are encountered. Optionally, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss resets
alpha to its maximal value if a RTO happens. This behavior
is sub-optimal for at least two reasons: i) it ignores losses
triggering fast retransmissions; and ii) it causes unnecessary large
cwnd reduction in the future if the loss was isolated as it resets
the historical term of DCTCP's alpha EWMA to its maximal value (i.e.,
denoting a total congestion). The second reason has an especially
noticeable effect when using DCTCP in high BDP environments, where
alpha normally stays at low values.

This patch replace the clamping of alpha by setting ssthresh to
half of cwnd for both fast retransmissions and RTOs, at most once
per RTT. Consequently, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss module parameter
has been removed.

The table below shows experimental results where we measured the
drop probability of a PIE AQM (not applying ECN marks) at a
bottleneck in the presence of a single TCP flow with either the
alpha-clamping option enabled or the cwnd halving proposed by this
patch. Results using reno or cubic are given for comparison.

                          |  Link   |   RTT    |    Drop
                 TCP CC   |  speed  | base+AQM | probability
        ==================|=========|==========|============
                    CUBIC |  40Mbps |  7+20ms  |    0.21%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.19%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   25.80%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.22%
        ------------------|---------|----------|------------
                    CUBIC | 100Mbps |  7+20ms  |    0.03%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.02%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   23.30%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.04%
        ------------------|---------|----------|------------
                    CUBIC | 800Mbps |   1+1ms  |    0.04%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.05%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   18.70%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.06%

We see that, without halving its cwnd for all source of losses,
DCTCP drives the AQM to large drop probabilities in order to keep
the queue length under control (i.e., it repeatedly faces RTOs).
Instead, if DCTCP reacts to all source of losses, it can then be
controlled by the AQM using similar drop levels than cubic or reno.

<title>vrf: check accept_source_route on the original netdevice</title>

Configuration check to accept source route IP options should be made on
the incoming netdevice when the skb-&gt;dev is an l3mdev master. The route
lookup for the source route next hop also needs the incoming netdev.

v2-&gt;v3:
- Simplify by passing the original netdevice down the stack (per David
  Ahern).

 When tcp_sk_init() failed in inet_ctl_sock_create(),
 'net-&gt;ipv4.tcp_congestion_control' will be left
 uninitialized, but tcp_sk_exit() hasn't check for
 that.

 This patch add checking on 'net-&gt;ipv4.tcp_congestion_control'
 in tcp_sk_exit() to prevent NULL-ptr dereference.

<title>tcp: Don't access TCP_SKB_CB before initializing it</title>

Since commit eeea10b83a13 ("tcp: add
tcp_v4_fill_cb()/tcp_v4_restore_cb()"), tcp_vX_fill_cb is only called
after tcp_filter(). That means, TCP_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;end_seq still points to
the IP-part of the cb.

We thus should not mock with it, as this can trigger bugs (thanks
syzkaller):
[   12.349396] ==================================================================
[   12.350188] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ip6_datagram_recv_specific_ctl+0x19b3/0x1a20
[   12.351035] Read of size 1 at addr ffff88006adbc208 by task test_ip6_datagr/1799

Setting end_seq is actually no more necessary in tcp_filter as it gets
initialized later on in tcp_vX_fill_cb.
