2016-10-22ipv4: use the right lock for ping_group_rangeWANG Cong1-4/+4
This reverts commit a681574c99be23e4d20b769bf0e543239c364af5 ("ipv4: disable BH in set_ping_group_range()") because we never read ping_group_range in BH context (unlike local_port_range). Then, since we already have a lock for ping_group_range, those using ip_local_ports.lock for ping_group_range are clearly typos. We might consider to share a same lock for both ping_group_range and local_port_range w.r.t. space saving, but that should be for net-next.

2016-05-23ipv4: Fix non-initialized TTL when CONFIG_SYSCTL=nEzequiel Garcia1-4/+0
Commit fa50d974d104 ("ipv4: Namespaceify ip_default_ttl sysctl knob") moves the default TTL assignment, and as side-effect IPv4 TTL now has a default value only if sysctl support is enabled (CONFIG_SYSCTL=y). The sysctl_ip_default_ttl is fundamental for IP to work properly, as it provides the TTL to be used as default. The defautl TTL may be used in ip_selected_ttl, through the following flow: ip_select_ttl ip4_dst_hoplimit net->ipv4.sysctl_ip_default_ttl This commit fixes the issue by assigning net->ipv4.sysctl_ip_default_ttl in net_init_net, called during ipv4's initialization. Without this commit, a kernel built without sysctl support will send all IP packets with zero TTL (unless a TTL is explicitly set, e.g. with setsockopt). Given a similar issue might appear on the other knobs that were namespaceify, this commit also moves them.

2016-04-11net: ipv4: Consider failed nexthops in multipath routesDavid Ahern1-0/+11
Multipath route lookups should consider knowledge about next hops and not select a hop that is known to be failed. Example: [h2] [h3] 15.0.0.5 | | 3| 3| [SP1] [SP2]--+ 1 2 1 2 | | /-------------+ | | \ / | | X | | / \ | | / \---------------\ | 1 2 1 2 12.0.0.2 [TOR1] 3-----------------3 [TOR2] 12.0.0.3 4 4 \ / \ / \ / -------| |-----/ 1 2 [TOR3] 3| | [h1] 12.0.0.1 host h1 with IP 12.0.0.1 has 2 paths to host h3 at 15.0.0.5: root@h1:~# ip ro ls ... 12.0.0.0/24 dev swp1 proto kernel scope link src 12.0.0.1 15.0.0.0/16 nexthop via 12.0.0.2 dev swp1 weight 1 nexthop via 12.0.0.3 dev swp1 weight 1 ... If the link between tor3 and tor1 is down and the link between tor1 and tor2 then tor1 is effectively cut-off from h1. Yet the route lookups in h1 are alternating between the 2 routes: ping 15.0.0.5 gets one and ssh 15.0.0.5 gets the other. Connections that attempt to use the 12.0.0.2 nexthop fail since that neighbor is not reachable: root@h1:~# ip neigh show ... 12.0.0.3 dev swp1 lladdr 00:02:00:00:00:1b REACHABLE 12.0.0.2 dev swp1 FAILED ... The failed path can be avoided by considering known neighbor information when selecting next hops. If the neighbor lookup fails we have no knowledge about the nexthop, so give it a shot. If there is an entry then only select the nexthop if the state is sane. This is similar to what fib_detect_death does. To maintain backward compatibility use of the neighbor information is based on a new sysctl, fib_multipath_use_neigh.

2015-12-18net: Allow accepted sockets to be bound to l3mdev domainDavid Ahern1-0/+11
Allow accepted sockets to derive their sk_bound_dev_if setting from the l3mdev domain in which the packets originated. A sysctl setting is added to control the behavior which is similar to sk_mark and sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept. This effectively allow a process to have a "VRF-global" listen socket, with child sockets bound to the VRF device in which the packet originated. A similar behavior can be achieved using sk_mark, but a solution using marks is incomplete as it does not handle duplicate addresses in different L3 domains/VRFs. Allowing sockets to inherit the sk_bound_dev_if from l3mdev domain provides a complete solution. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-10-21tcp: use RACK to detect lossesYuchung Cheng1-0/+7
This patch implements the second half of RACK that uses the the most recent transmit time among all delivered packets to detect losses. tcp_rack_mark_lost() is called upon receiving a dubious ACK. It then checks if an not-yet-sacked packet was sent at least "reo_wnd" prior to the sent time of the most recently delivered. If so the packet is deemed lost. The "reo_wnd" reordering window starts with 1msec for fast loss detection and changes to min-RTT/4 when reordering is observed. We found 1msec accommodates well on tiny degree of reordering (<3 pkts) on faster links. We use min-RTT instead of SRTT because reordering is more of a path property but SRTT can be inflated by self-inflicated congestion. The factor of 4 is borrowed from the delayed early retransmit and seems to work reasonably well. Since RACK is still experimental, it is now used as a supplemental loss detection on top of existing algorithms. It is only effective after the fast recovery starts or after the timeout occurs. The fast recovery is still triggered by FACK and/or dupack threshold instead of RACK. We introduce a new sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_recovery for future experiments of loss recoveries. For now RACK can be disabled by setting it to 0.

2015-10-21tcp: track min RTT using windowed min-filterYuchung Cheng1-0/+7
Kathleen Nichols' algorithm for tracking the minimum RTT of a data stream over some measurement window. It uses constant space and constant time per update. Yet it almost always delivers the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all the data in the window. The measurement window is tunable via sysctl.net.ipv4.tcp_min_rtt_wlen with a default value of 5 minutes. The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing over the window. Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because it has no value - the new min is less than everything else in the window by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh on every new min and overwrites the 2nd & 3rd choices. The same property holds for the 2nd & 3rd best. Therefore we have to maintain two invariants to maximize the information in the samples, one on values (1st.v <= 2nd.v <= 3rd.v) and the other on times (now-win <=1st.t <= 2nd.t <= 3rd.t <= now). These invariants determine the structure of the code The RTT input to the windowed filter is the minimum RTT measured from ACK or SACK, or as the last resort from TCP timestamps. The accessor tcp_min_rtt() returns the minimum RTT seen in the window. ~0U indicates it is not available. The minimum is 1usec even if the true RTT is below that.

2015-10-14Revert "ipv4/icmp: redirect messages can use the ingress daddr as source"Paolo Abeni1-7/+0
Revert the commit e2ca690b657f ("ipv4/icmp: redirect messages can use the ingress daddr as source"), which tried to introduce a more suitable behaviour for ICMP redirect messages generated by VRRP routers. However RFC 5798 section 8.1.1 states: The IPv4 source address of an ICMP redirect should be the address that the end-host used when making its next-hop routing decision. while said commit used the generating packet destination address, which do not match the above and in most cases leads to no redirect packets to be generated.

2015-10-12ipv4/icmp: redirect messages can use the ingress daddr as sourcePaolo Abeni1-0/+7
This patch allows configuring how the source address of ICMP redirect messages is selected; by default the old behaviour is retained, while setting icmp_redirects_use_orig_daddr force the usage of the destination address of the packet that caused the redirect. The new behaviour fits closely the RFC 5798 section 8.1.1, and fix the following scenario: Two machines are set up with VRRP to act as routers out of a subnet, they have IPs x.x.x.1/24 and x.x.x.2/24, with VRRP holding on to x.x.x.254/24. If a host in said subnet needs to get an ICMP redirect from the VRRP router, i.e. to reach a destination behind a different gateway, the source IP in the ICMP redirect is chosen as the primary IP on the interface that the packet arrived at, i.e. x.x.x.1 or x.x.x.2. The host will then ignore said redirect, due to RFC 1122 section 3.2.2.2, and will continue to use the wrong next-op. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-08-28IGMP: Inhibit reports for local multicast groupsPhilip Downey1-0/+7
The range of addresses between 224.0.0.0 and 224.0.0.255 inclusive, is reserved for the use of routing protocols and other low-level topology discovery or maintenance protocols, such as gateway discovery and group membership reporting. Multicast routers should not forward any multicast datagram with destination addresses in this range, regardless of its TTL. Currently, IGMP reports are generated for this reserved range of addresses even though a router will ignore this information since it has no purpose. However, the presence of reserved group addresses in an IGMP membership report uses up network bandwidth and can also obscure addresses of interest when inspecting membership reports using packet inspection or debug messages. Although the RFCs for the various version of IGMP (e.g.RFC 3376 for v3) do not specify that the reserved addresses be excluded from membership reports, it should do no harm in doing so. In particular there should be no adverse effect in any IGMP snooping functionality since 224.0.0.x is specifically excluded as per RFC 4541 (IGMP and MLD Snooping Switches Considerations) section 2.1.2. Data Forwarding Rules: 2) Packets with a destination IP (DIP) address in the 224.0.0.X range which are not IGMP must be forwarded on all ports. IGMP reports for local multicast groups can now be optionally inhibited by means of a system control variable (by setting the value to zero) e.g.: echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_link_local_mcast_reports To retain backwards compatibility the previous behaviour is retained by default on system boot or reverted by setting the value back to non-zero e.g.: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_link_local_mcast_reports Signed-off-by: Philip Downey <pdowney@brocade.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-08-25tcp: refine pacing rate determinationEric Dumazet1-0/+19
When TCP pacing was added back in linux-3.12, we chose to apply a fixed ratio of 200 % against current rate, to allow probing for optimal throughput even during slow start phase, where cwnd can be doubled every other gRTT. At Google, we found it was better applying a different ratio while in Congestion Avoidance phase. This ratio was set to 120 %. We've used the normal tcp_in_slow_start() helper for a while, then tuned the condition to select the conservative ratio as soon as cwnd >= ssthresh/2 : - After cwnd reduction, it is safer to ramp up more slowly, as we approach optimal cwnd. - Initial ramp up (ssthresh == INFINITY) still allows doubling cwnd every other RTT.

2015-08-17Revert "net: limit tcp/udp rmem/wmem to SOCK_{RCV,SND}BUF_MIN"Calvin Owens1-6/+4
Commit 8133534c760d4083 ("net: limit tcp/udp rmem/wmem to SOCK_{RCV,SND}BUF_MIN") modified four sysctls to enforce that the values written to them are not less than SOCK_MIN_{RCV,SND}BUF. That change causes 4096 to no longer be accepted as a valid value for 'min' in tcp_wmem and udp_wmem_min. 4096 has been the default for both of those sysctls for a long time, and unfortunately seems to be an extremely popular setting. This change breaks a large number of sysctl configurations at Facebook. That commit referred to b1cb59cf2efe7971 ("net: sysctl_net_core: check SNDBUF and RCVBUF for min length"), which choose to use the SOCK_MIN constants as the lower limits to avoid nasty bugs. But AFAICS, a limit of SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF isn't necessary to do that: the BUG_ON cited in the commit message seems to have happened because unix_stream_sendmsg() expects a minimum of a full page (ie SK_MEM_QUANTUM) and the math broke, not because it had less than SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF allocated. This particular issue doesn't seem to affect TCP however: using a setting of "1 1 1" for tcp_{r,w}mem works, although it's obviously suboptimal. SK_MEM_QUANTUM would be a nice minimum, but it's 64K on some archs, so there would still be breakage. Since a value of one doesn't seem to cause any problems, we can drop the minimum 8133534c added to fix this. This reverts commit 8133534c760d4083f79d2cde42c636ccc0b2792e.

2015-05-19tcp: add rfc3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallbackDaniel Borkmann1-0/+7
This work as a follow-up of commit f7b3bec6f516 ("net: allow setting ecn via routing table") and adds RFC3168 section 6.1.1.1. fallback for outgoing ECN connections. In other words, this work adds a retry with a non-ECN setup SYN packet, as suggested from the RFC on the first timeout: [...] A host that receives no reply to an ECN-setup SYN within the normal SYN retransmission timeout interval MAY resend the SYN and any subsequent SYN retransmissions with CWR and ECE cleared. [...] Schematic client-side view when assuming the server is in tcp_ecn=2 mode, that is, Linux default since 2009 via commit 255cac91c3c9 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN"): 1) Normal ECN-capable path: SYN ECE CWR -----> <----- SYN ACK ECE ACK -----> 2) Path with broken middlebox, when client has fallback: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN -----> <----- SYN ACK ACK -----> In case we would not have the fallback implemented, the middlebox drop point would basically end up as: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) In any case, it's rather a smaller percentage of sites where there would occur such additional setup latency: it was found in end of 2014 that ~56% of IPv4 and 65% of IPv6 servers of Alexa 1 million list would negotiate ECN (aka tcp_ecn=2 default), 0.42% of these webservers will fail to connect when trying to negotiate with ECN (tcp_ecn=1) due to timeouts, which the fallback would mitigate with a slight latency trade-off. Recent related paper on this topic: Brian Trammell, Mirja Kühlewind, Damiano Boppart, Iain Learmonth, Gorry Fairhurst, and Richard Scheffenegger: "Enabling Internet-Wide Deployment of Explicit Congestion Notification." Proc. PAM 2015, New York. http://ecn.ethz.ch/ecn-pam15.pdf Thus, when net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=1 is being set, the patch will perform RFC3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallback on timeout. For users explicitly not wanting this which can be in DC use case, we add a net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback knob that allows for disabling the fallback. tp->ecn_flags are not being cleared in tcp_ecn_clear_syn() on output, but rather we let tcp_ecn_rcv_synack() take that over on input path in case a SYN ACK ECE was delayed. Thus a spurious SYN retransmission will not prevent ECN being negotiated eventually in that case.

2015-03-06ipv4: Create probe timer for tcp PMTU as per RFC4821Fan Du1-0/+7
As per RFC4821 7.3. Selecting Probe Size, a probe timer should be armed once probing has converged. Once this timer expired, probing again to take advantage of any path PMTU change. The recommended probing interval is 10 minutes per RFC1981. Probing interval could be sysctled by sysctl_tcp_probe_interval. Eric Dumazet suggested to implement pseudo timer based on 32bits jiffies tcp_time_stamp instead of using classic timer for such rare event.

2015-03-06ipv4: Use binary search to choose tcp PMTU probe_sizeFan Du1-0/+7
Current probe_size is chosen by doubling mss_cache, the probing process will end shortly with a sub-optimal mss size, and the link mtu will not be taken full advantage of, in return, this will make user to tweak tcp_base_mss with care. Use binary search to choose probe_size in a fine granularity manner, an optimal mss will be found to boost performance as its maxmium. In addition, introduce a sysctl_tcp_probe_threshold to control when probing will stop in respect to the width of search range.

Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery works separately beside Path MTU Discovery at IP level, different net namespace has various requirements on which one to chose, e.g., a virutalized container instance would require TCP PMTU to probe an usable effective mtu for underlying tunnel, while the host would employ classical ICMP based PMTU to function. Hence making TCP PMTU mechanism per net namespace to decouple two functionality. Furthermore the probe base MSS should also be configured separately for each namespace.

2015-02-08tcp: helpers to mitigate ACK loops by rate-limiting out-of-window dupacksNeal Cardwell1-0/+7
Helpers for mitigating ACK loops by rate-limiting dupacks sent in response to incoming out-of-window packets. This patch includes: - rate-limiting logic - sysctl to control how often we allow dupacks to out-of-window packets - SNMP counter for cases where we rate-limited our dupack sending The rate-limiting logic in this patch decides to not send dupacks in response to out-of-window segments if (a) they are SYNs or pure ACKs and (b) the remote endpoint is sending them faster than the configured rate limit. We rate-limit our responses rather than blocking them entirely or resetting the connection, because legitimate connections can rely on dupacks in response to some out-of-window segments. For example, zero window probes are typically sent with a sequence number that is below the current window, and ZWPs thus expect to thus elicit a dupack in response. We allow dupacks in response to TCP segments with data, because these may be spurious retransmissions for which the remote endpoint wants to receive DSACKs. This is safe because segments with data can't realistically be part of ACK loops, which by their nature consist of each side sending pure/data-less ACKs to each other. The dupack interval is controlled by a new sysctl knob, tcp_invalid_ratelimit, given in milliseconds, in case an administrator needs to dial this upward in the face of a high-rate DoS attack. The name and units are chosen to be analogous to the existing analogous knob for ICMP, icmp_ratelimit. The default value for tcp_invalid_ratelimit is 500ms, which allows at most one such dupack per 500ms. This is chosen to be 2x faster than the 1-second minimum RTO interval allowed by RFC 6298 (section 2, rule 2.4). We allow the extra 2x factor because network delay variations can cause packets sent at 1 second intervals to be compressed and arrive much closer.

While testing upcoming Yaogong patch (converting out of order queue into an RB tree), I hit the max reordering level of linux TCP stack. Reordering level was limited to 127 for no good reason, and some network setups [1] can easily reach this limit and get limited throughput. Allow a new max limit of 300, and add a sysctl to allow admins to even allow bigger (or lower) values if needed.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Most notable changes in here: 1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon. I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann, David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell. 2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon. 3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from Florian Fainelli. 5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled, but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen(). From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric Dumazet. 6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom Herbert. 7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli. 8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann. 9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John Fastabend. 10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander Duyck. 11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric Dumazet. 12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From Florian Westphal. 13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly faster.

2014-09-23icmp: add a global rate limitationEric Dumazet1-0/+16
Current ICMP rate limiting uses inetpeer cache, which is an RBL tree protected by a lock, meaning that hosts can be stuck hard if all cpus want to check ICMP limits. When say a DNS or NTP server process is restarted, inetpeer tree grows quick and machine comes to its knees. iptables can not help because the bottleneck happens before ICMP messages are even cooked and sent. This patch adds a new global limitation, using a token bucket filter, controlled by two new sysctl : icmp_msgs_per_sec - INTEGER Limit maximal number of ICMP packets sent per second from this host. Only messages whose type matches icmp_ratemask are controlled by this limit. Default: 1000 icmp_msgs_burst - INTEGER icmp_msgs_per_sec controls number of ICMP packets sent per second, while icmp_msgs_burst controls the burst size of these packets. Default: 50 Note that if we really want to send millions of ICMP messages per second, we might extend idea and infra added in commit 04ca6973f7c1a ("ip: make IP identifiers less predictable") : add a token bucket in the ip_idents hash and no longer rely on inetpeer.
