| * tcp: Fix for race due to temporary drop of the socket lock in skb_splice_bits.Octavian Purdila2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | skb_splice_bits temporary drops the socket lock while iterating over the socket queue in order to break a reverse locking condition which happens with sendfile. This, however, opens a window of opportunity for tcp_collapse() to aggregate skbs and thus potentially free the current skb used in skb_splice_bits and tcp_read_sock. This patch fixes the problem by (re-)getting the same "logical skb" after the lock has been temporary dropped. Based on idea and initial patch from Evgeniy Polyakov.

| * | tcp: fix skb vs fack_count out-of-sync conditionIlpo Järvinen2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases. In order for this to cause corruption: 1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated. 2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that in cache in the first place. 3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be updated on this iteration. ...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out by tcp_sacktag_one. It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK. Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)). Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero and reordering metric on RTO). This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have tried to help here. This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go through it just once there. Going through twice would have required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above, I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.

| * | tcp: Fix inconsistency source (CA_Open only when !tcp_left_out(tp))Ilpo Järvinen2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible that this skip path causes TCP to end up into an invalid state where ca_state was left to CA_Open while some segments already came into sacked_out. If next valid ACK doesn't contain new SACK information TCP fails to enter into tcp_fastretrans_alert(). Thus at least high_seq is set incorrectly to a too high seqno because some new data segments could be sent in between (and also, limited transmit is not being correctly invoked there). Reordering in both directions can easily cause this situation to occur. I guess we would want to use tcp_moderate_cwnd(tp) there as well as it may be possible to use this to trigger oversized burst to network by sending an old ACK with huge amount of SACK info, but I'm a bit unsure about its effects (mainly to FlightSize), so to be on the safe side I just currently fixed it minimally to keep TCP's state consistent (obviously, such nasty ACKs have been possible this far). Though it seems that FlightSize is already underestimated by some amount, so probably on the long term we might want to trigger recovery there too, if appropriate, to make FlightSize calculation to resemble reality at the time when the losses where discovered (but such change scares me too much now and requires some more thinking anyway how to do that as it likely involves some code shuffling). This bug was found by Brian Vowell while running my TCP debug patch to find cause of another TCP issue (fackets_out miscount).

We don't want to count twice. nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~880: Kills ct and returns NF_DROP. I think we don't want to count dropped packets. nf_conntrack_netlink.c line ~824: As far as I can see ctnetlink_del_conntrack() is used to destroy a conntrack on behalf of the user. There is an sk_buff, but I don't think this is an actual packet. Incrementing counters here is therefore not desired.

This is to help with distro integration of the new secmark-based network controls, per various previous discussions. The need for a separate table arises from the fact that existing tools and usage of iptables will likely clash with centralized MAC policy management. The SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets will still be valid in the mangle table to prevent breakage of existing users.

| * tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayedSridhar Samudrala2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits. The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits. I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel. In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset. At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets dst_cache entry remains NULL. So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu. Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * ipsec: Use the correct ip_local_out functionHerbert Xu2008-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output directly. Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes. When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after it has been freed which usually leads to a crash. Because the offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible. Thanks to Marco Berizzi for his perseverance in tracking this down.

Price to pay about this is occassionally unnecessarily retransmitting the forward transmission(s). SACK blocks help a bit to avoid this, so it's mainly a concern for NewReno case though SACK is not fully immune either. This change has a side-effect of fixing SACKFRTO problem where it didn't have snd_nxt of the RTO time available anymore when fallback become necessary (this problem would have only occured when RTO would occur for two or more segments and ECE arrives in step 3; no need to figure out how to fix that unless the TODO item of selective behavior is considered in future).

Cumulative ACK arrives after FRTO retransmission 2. tcp_try_to_open sees zero retrans_out, clears retrans_stamp which should be kept like in CA_Loss state it would be 3. undo_marker change allowed tcp_packet_delayed to return true because of the cleared retrans_stamp once FRTO is terminated causing LossUndo to occur, which means all loss markings FRTO made are reverted. This means that the conventional recovery basically recovered one loss per RTT, which is not that efficient. It was quite unobvious that the undo_marker change broken something like this, I had a quite long session to track it down because of the non-intuitiviness of the bug (luckily I had a trivial reproducer at hand and I was also able to learn to use kprobes in the process as well :-)). This together with the NewReno+FRTO fix and FRTO in-order workaround this fixes Damon's problems, this and the first mentioned are enough to fix Bugzilla #10063.

I'll fix the SACK case separately (it's a separate bug really, though related, but in order to fix that I need to audit tp->snd_nxt usage a bit). There were two places where SACK variant of FRTO is getting incorrectly used even if SACK wasn't negotiated by the TCP flow. This leads to incorrect setting of frto_highmark with NewReno if a previous recovery was interrupted by another RTO. An eventual fallback to conventional recovery then incorrectly considers one or couple of segments as forward transmissions though they weren't, which then are not LOST marked during fallback making them "non-retransmittable" until the next RTO. In a bad case, those segments are really lost and are the only one left in the window. Thus TCP needs another RTO to continue. The next FRTO, however, could again repeat the same events making the progress of the TCP flow extremely slow. In order for these events to occur at all, FRTO must occur again in FRTOs step 3 while the key segments must be lost as well, which is not too likely in practice. It seems to most frequently with some small devices such as network printers that *seem* to accept TCP segments only in-order. In cases were key segments weren't lost, things get automatically resolved because those wrongly marked segments don't need to be retransmitted in order to continue. I found a reproducer after digging up relevant reports (few reports in total, none at netdev or lkml I know of), some cases seemed to indicate middlebox issues which seems now to be a false assumption some people had made. Bugzilla #10063 _might_ be related. Damon L. Chesser <damon@damtek.com> had a reproducable case and was kind enough to tcpdump it for me. With the tcpdump log it was quite trivial to figure out.

| * [IPv4] UFO: prevent generation of chained skb destined to UFO deviceKostya B2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: ip_append_data() could wrongly generate a chained skb for devices which support UFO. When sk_write_queue is not empty (e.g. MSG_MORE), __instead__ of appending data into the next nr_frag of the queued skb, a new chained skb is created. I would normally assume UFO device should get data in nr_frags and not in frag_list. Later the udp4_hwcsum_outgoing() resets csum to NONE and skb_gso_segment() has oops. Proposal: 1. Even length is less than mtu, employ ip_ufo_append_data() and append data to the __existed__ skb in the sk_write_queue. 2. ip_ufo_append_data() is fixed due to a wrong manipulation of peek-ing and later enqueue-ing of the same skb. Now, enqueuing is always performed, because on error the further ip_flush_pending_frames() would release the queued skb.
