>From commit 50895b9de1 ("tcp: highest_sack fix"), the logic about
setting tp->highest_sack to the head of the send queue was removed.
Of course the logic is error prone, but it is logical. Before we
remove the pointer to the highest sack skb and use the seq instead,
we need to set tp->highest_sack to NULL when there is no skb after
the last sack, and then replace NULL with the real skb when new skb
inserted into the rtx queue, because the NULL means the highest sack
seq is tp->snd_nxt. If tp->highest_sack is NULL and new data sent,
the next ACK with sack option will increase tp->reordering unexpectedly.
This patch sets tp->highest_sack to the tail of the rtx queue if
it's NULL and new data is sent. The patch keeps the rule that the
highest_sack can only be maintained by sack processing, except for
this only case.

Due to how tcp_sendmsg() is implemented, we can have an empty
skb at the tail of the write queue.
Most [1] tcp_write_queue_empty() callers want to know if there is
anything to send (payload and/or FIN)
Instead of checking if the sk_write_queue is empty, we need
to test if tp->write_seq == tp->snd_nxt
[1] tcp_send_fin() was the only caller that expected to
see if an skb was in the write queue, I have changed the code
to reuse the tcp_write_queue_tail() result.

Backport of commit fdfc5c8594 ("tcp: remove empty skb from
write queue in error cases") in linux-4.14 stable triggered
various bugs. One of them has been fixed in commit ba2ddb43f270
("tcp: Don't dequeue SYN/FIN-segments from write-queue"), but
we still have crashes in some occasions.
Root-cause is that when tcp_sendmsg() has allocated a fresh
skb and could not append a fragment before being blocked
in sk_stream_wait_memory(), tcp_write_xmit() might be called
and decide to send this fresh and empty skb.
Sending an empty packet is not only silly, it might have caused
many issues we had in the past with tp->packets_out being
out of sync.

Back in 2008, Adam Langley fixed the corner case of packets for flows
having all of the following options : MD5 TS SACK
Since MD5 needs 20 bytes, and TS needs 12 bytes, no sack block
can be cooked from the remaining 8 bytes.
tcp_established_options() correctly sets opts->num_sack_blocks
to zero, but returns 36 instead of 32.
This means TCP cooks packets with 4 extra bytes at the end
of options, containing unitialized bytes.

When tcp sends a TSO packet, adding a PSH flag on it
reduces the sojourn time of GRO packet in GRO receivers.
This is particularly the case under pressure, since RX queues
receive packets for many concurrent flows.
A sender can give a hint to GRO engines when it is
appropriate to flush a super-packet, especially when pacing
is in the picture, since next packet is probably delayed by
one ms.
Having less packets in GRO engine reduces chance
of LRU eviction or inflated RTT, and reduces GRO cost.
We found recently that we must not set the PSH flag on
individual full-size MSS segments [1] :
Under pressure (CWR state), we better let the packet sit
for a small delay (depending on NAPI logic) so that the
ACK packet is delayed, and thus next packet we send is
also delayed a bit. Eventually the bottleneck queue can
be drained. DCTCP flows with CWND=1 have demonstrated
the issue.
This patch allows to slowdown the aggregate traffic without
involving high resolution timers on senders and/or
receivers.
It has been used at Google for about four years,
and has been discussed at various networking conferences.
[1] segments smaller than MSS already have PSH flag set
by tcp_sendmsg() / tcp_mark_push(), unless MSG_MORE
has been requested by the user.

sk_validate_xmit_skb() and drivers depend on the sk member of
struct sk_buff to identify segments requiring encryption.
Any operation which removes or does not preserve the original TLS
socket such as skb_orphan() or skb_clone() will cause clear text
leaks.
Make the TCP socket underlying an offloaded TLS connection
mark all skbs as decrypted, if TLS TX is in offload mode.
Then in sk_validate_xmit_skb() catch skbs which have no socket
(or a socket with no validation) and decrypted flag set.
Note that CONFIG_SOCK_VALIDATE_XMIT, CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE and
sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb are slightly interchangeable right now,
they all imply TLS offload. The new checks are guarded by
CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE because that's the option guarding the
sk_buff->decrypted member.
Second, smaller issue with orphaning is that it breaks
the guarantee that packets will be delivered to device
queues in-order. All TLS offload drivers depend on that
scheduling property. This means skb_orphan_partial()'s
trick of preserving partial socket references will cause
issues in the drivers. We need a full orphan, and as a
result netem delay/throttling will cause all TLS offload
skbs to be dropped.
Reusing the sk_buff->decrypted flag also protects from
leaking clear text when incoming, decrypted skb is redirected
(e.g. by TC).
See commit 0608c69c9a ("bpf: sk_msg, sock{map|hash} redirect
through ULP") for justification why the internal flag is safe.
The only location which could leak the flag in is tcp_bpf_sendmsg(),
which is taken care of by clearing the previously unused bit.
v2:
- remove superfluous decrypted mark copy (Willem);
- remove the stale doc entry (Boris);
- rely entirely on EOR marking to prevent coalescing (Boris);
- use an internal sendpages flag instead of marking the socket
(Boris).
v3 (Willem):
- reorganize the can_skb_orphan_partial() condition;
- fix the flag leak-in through tcp_bpf_sendmsg.

Some TCP peers announce a very small MSS option in their SYN and/or
SYN/ACK messages.
This forces the stack to send packets with a very high network/cpu
overhead.
Linux has enforced a minimal value of 48. Since this value includes
the size of TCP options, and that the options can consume up to 40
bytes, this means that each segment can include only 8 bytes of payload.
In some cases, it can be useful to increase the minimal value
to a saner value.
We still let the default to 48 (TCP_MIN_SND_MSS), for compatibility
reasons.
Note that TCP_MAXSEG socket option enforces a minimal value
of (TCP_MIN_MSS). David Miller increased this minimal value
in commit c39508d6f1 ("tcp: Make TCP_MAXSEG minimum more correct.")
from 64 to 88.

A new SNMP counter is added to monitor how many times TCP

Note that this counter might increase in the case applications

Jonathan Looney reported that TCP can trigger the following crash
in tcp_shifted_skb() :
BUG_ON(tcp_skb_pcount(skb) < pcount);
This can happen if the remote peer has advertized the smallest
MSS that linux TCP accepts : 48
An skb can hold 17 fragments, and each fragment can hold 32KB
on x86, or 64KB on PowerPC.
This means that the 16bit witdh of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs
can overflow.
Note that tcp_sendmsg() builds skbs with less than 64KB
of payload, so this problem needs SACK to be enabled.
SACK blocks allow TCP to coalesce multiple skbs in the retransmit
queue, thus filling the 17 fragments to maximal capacity.

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.

In order to be more confident about an on-going interactive session, we

This means, we only consider a session in pingpong mode after we see 3
interactive transactions, and start to activate delayed acks in quick
ack mode.
And in order to not over-count the credits, we only increase pingpong
count for the first packet sent in response for the previous received

Previously when the sender fails to send (original) data packet or
window probes due to congestion in the local host (e.g. throttling
in qdisc), it'll retry within an RTO or two up to 500ms.
In low-RTT networks such as data-centers, RTO is often far below
the default minimum 200ms. Then local host congestion could trigger
a retry storm pouring gas to the fire. Worse yet, the probe counter
(icsk_probes_out) is not properly updated so the aggressive retry
may exceed the system limit (15 rounds) until the packet finally
slips through.
On such rare events, it's wise to retry more conservatively
(500ms) and update the stats properly to reflect these incidents
and follow the system limit. Note that this is consistent with
the behaviors when a keep-alive probe or RTO retry is dropped
due to local congestion.

Previously TCP socket's retrans_stamp is not set if the
retransmission has failed to send. As a result if a socket is
experiencing local issues to retransmit packets, determining when
to abort a socket is complicated w/o knowning the starting time of
the recovery since retrans_stamp may remain zero.
This complication causes sub-optimal behavior that TCP may use the
latest, instead of the first, retransmission time to compute the
elapsed time of a stalling connection due to local issues. Then TCP
may disrecard TCP retries settings and keep retrying until it finally
succeed: not a good idea when the local host is already strained.
The simple fix is to always timestamp the start of a recovery.
It's worth noting that retrans_stamp is also used to compare echo
timestamp values to detect spurious recovery. This patch does
not break that because retrans_stamp is still later than when the
original packet was sent.

Previously TCP skbs are not always timestamped if the transmission
failed due to memory or other local issues. This makes deciding
when to abort a socket tricky and complicated because the first
unacknowledged skb's timestamp may be 0 on TCP timeout.
The straight-forward fix is to always timestamp skb on every
transmission attempt. Also every skb retransmission needs to be
flagged properly to avoid RTT under-estimation. This can happen
upon receiving an ACK for the original packet and the a previous
(spurious) retransmission has failed.
It's worth noting that this reverts to the old time-stamping
style before commit 8c72c65b42 ("tcp: update skb->skb_mstamp more

of a stalled window-probing socket. The problem will be addressed

In commit f9bfe4e6a9 ("tcp: lack of available data can also cause
TSO defer") we moved the test in tcp_tso_should_defer() for packets
with a FIN flag, and we mentioned that the same would be done
later for EOR flag.
Both flags should be handled at the same time, after all other
heuristics have been considered. They both mean that no more bytes
can be added to this skb by an application.

Several conflicts, seemingly all over the place.
I used Stephen Rothwell's sample resolutions for many of these, if not
just to double check my own work, so definitely the credit largely
goes to him.
The NFP conflict consisted of a bug fix (moving operations
past the rhashtable operation) while chaning the initial
argument in the function call in the moved code.
The net/dsa/master.c conflict had to do with a bug fix intermixing of
making dsa_master_set_mtu() static with the fixing of the tagging
attribute location.
cls_flower had a conflict because the dup reject fix from Or
overlapped with the addition of port range classifiction.
__set_phy_supported()'s conflict was relatively easy to resolve
because Andrew fixed it in both trees, so it was just a matter
of taking the net-next copy. Or at least I think it was :-)
Joe Stringer's fix to the handling of netns id 0 in bpf_sk_lookup()
intermixed with changes on how the sdif and caller_net are calculated
in these code paths in net-next.
The remaining BPF conflicts were largely about the addition of the
__bpf_md_ptr stuff in 'net' overlapping with adjustments and additions
to the relevant data structure where the MD pointer macros are used.

tcp_tso_should_defer() can return true in three different cases :
1) We are cwnd-limited
2) We are rwnd-limited
3) We are application limited.
Neal pointed out that my recent fix went too far, since
it assumed that if we were not in 1) case, we must be rwnd-limited
Fix this by properly populating the is_cwnd_limited and
is_rwnd_limited booleans.
After this change, we can finally move the silly check for FIN
flag only for the application-limited case.
The same move for EOR bit will be handled in net-next,
since commit 1c09f7d073 ("tcp: do not try to defer skbs
with eor mark (MSG_EOR)") is scheduled for linux-4.21
Tested by running 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_RR -- -r 60000,100
and checking none of them was rwnd_limited in the chrono_stat
output from "ss -ti" command.

TCP loss probe timer may fire when the retranmission queue is empty but
has a non-zero tp->packets_out counter. tcp_send_loss_probe will call
tcp_rearm_rto which triggers NULL pointer reference by fetching the
retranmission queue head in its sub-routines.
Add a more detailed warning to help catch the root cause of the inflight
accounting inconsistency.

If available rwnd is too small, tcp_tso_should_defer()
can decide it is worth waiting before splitting a TSO packet.
This really means we are rwnd limited.

Jean-Louis reported a TCP regression and bisected to recent SACK
compression.
After a loss episode (receiver not able to keep up and dropping
packets because its backlog is full), linux TCP stack is sending
a single SACK (DUPACK).
Sender waits a full RTO timer before recovering losses.
While RFC 6675 says in section 5, "Algorithm Details",
(2) If DupAcks < DupThresh but IsLost (HighACK + 1) returns true --
indicating at least three segments have arrived above the current
cumulative acknowledgment point, which is taken to indicate loss
-- go to step (4).
...
(4) Invoke fast retransmit and enter loss recovery as follows:
there are old TCP stacks not implementing this strategy, and
still counting the dupacks before starting fast retransmit.
While these stacks probably perform poorly when receivers implement
LRO/GRO, we should be a little more gentle to them.
This patch makes sure we do not enable SACK compression unless
3 dupacks have been sent since last rcv_nxt update.
Ideally we should even rearm the timer to send one or two
more DUPACK if no more packets are coming, but that will
be work aiming for linux-4.21.
Many thanks to Jean-Louis for bisecting the issue, providing
packet captures and testing this patch.

FQ pacing guarantees that paced packets queued by one flow do not
add head-of-line blocking for other flows.
After TCP GSO conversion, increasing limit_output_bytes to 1 MB is safe,
since this maps to 16 skbs at most in qdisc or device queues.
(or slightly more if some drivers lower {gso_max_segs|size})
We still can queue at most 1 ms worth of traffic (this can be scaled
by wifi drivers if they need to)
Tested:
# ethtool -c eth0 | egrep "tx-usecs:|tx-frames:" # 40 Gbit mlx4 NIC
tx-usecs: 16
tx-frames: 16
# tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root fq
# for f in {1..10};do netperf -P0 -H lpaa24,6 -o THROUGHPUT;done
