This commit adds two stats for the socket migration feature to evaluate the effectiveness: LINUX_MIB_TCPMIGRATEREQ(SUCCESS|FAILURE). If the migration fails because of the own_req race in receiving ACK and sending SYN+ACK paths, we do not increment the failure stat. Then another CPU is responsible for the req.

TCP checksums on received packets may be set to NULL by the sender if CSO is enabled. The hypervisor flags these packets as check-sum-ok and the skb is then flagged CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. If these packets are then forwarded the sender will not request CSO due to the CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY flag. The result is a TCP packet sent with a bad checksum. This change sets up CHECKSUM_PARTIAL on these packets causing the sender to correctly request CSUM offload. Signed-off-by:

According to a comment in commit 99513cfa ("selftest: Fixes for icmp_redirect test") the test "IPv6: mtu exception plus redirect" is expected to fail, because of a bug in the IPv6 logic that hasn't been fixed yet apparently. We should probably consider this failure as an "expected failure", therefore change the script to return XFAIL for that particular test and also report the total amount of expected failures at the end of the run.

Currently pfifo_fast has both TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS and TCQ_F_NOLOCK flag set, but queue discipline by-pass does not work for lockless qdisc because skb is always enqueued to qdisc even when the qdisc is empty, see __dev_xmit_skb(). This patch calls sch_direct_xmit() to transmit the skb directly to the driver for empty lockless qdisc, which aviod enqueuing and dequeuing operation. As qdisc->empty is not reliable to indicate a empty qdisc because there is a time window between enqueuing and setting qdisc->empty. So we use the MISSED state added in commit a90c57f2 ("net: sched: fix packet stuck problem for lockless qdisc"), which indicate there is lock contention, suggesting that it is better not to do the qdisc bypass in order to avoid packet out of order problem. In order to make MISSED state reliable to indicate a empty qdisc, we need to ensure that testing and clearing of MISSED state is within the protection of qdisc->seqlock, only setting MISSED state can be done without the protection of qdisc->seqlock. A MISSED state testing is added without the protection of qdisc->seqlock to aviod doing unnecessary spin_trylock() for contention case. As the enqueuing is not within the protection of qdisc->seqlock, there is still a potential data race as mentioned by Jakub [1]: thread1 thread2 thread3 qdisc_run_begin() # true qdisc_run_begin(q) set(MISSED) pfifo_fast_dequeue clear(MISSED) # recheck the queue qdisc_run_end() enqueue skb1 qdisc empty # true qdisc_run_begin() # true sch_direct_xmit() # skb2 qdisc_run_begin() set(MISSED) When above happens, skb1 enqueued by thread2 is transmited after skb2 is transmited by thread3 because MISSED state setting and enqueuing is not under the qdisc->seqlock. If qdisc bypass is disabled, skb1 has better chance to be transmited quicker than skb2. This patch does not take care of the above data race, because we view this as similar as below: Even at the same time CPU1 and CPU2 write the skb to two socket which both heading to the same qdisc, there is no guarantee that which skb will hit the qdisc first, because there is a lot of factor like interrupt/softirq/cache miss/scheduling afffecting that. There are below cases that need special handling: 1. When MISSED state is cleared before another round of dequeuing in pfifo_fast_dequeue(), and __qdisc_run() might not be able to dequeue all skb in one round and call __netif_schedule(), which might result in a non-empty qdisc without MISSED set. In order to avoid this, the MISSED state is set for lockless qdisc and __netif_schedule() will be called at the end of qdisc_run_end. 2. The MISSED state also need to be set for lockless qdisc instead of calling __netif_schedule() directly when requeuing a skb for a similar reason. 3. For netdev queue stopped case, the MISSED case need clearing while the netdev queue is stopped, otherwise there may be unnecessary __netif_schedule() calling. So a new DRAINING state is added to indicate this case, which also indicate a non-empty qdisc. 4. As there is already netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped() checking in dequeue_skb() and sch_direct_xmit(), which are both within the protection of qdisc->seqlock, but the same checking in __dev_xmit_skb() is without the protection, which might cause empty indication of a lockless qdisc to be not reliable. So remove the checking in __dev_xmit_skb(), and the checking in the protection of qdisc->seqlock seems enough to avoid the cpu consumption problem for netdev queue stopped case. 1. https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/5/29/215Acked-by:

The packet is VXLAN packet over IPsec transport mode tunnel which has the following format: [IP1 | ESP | UDP | VXLAN | IP2 | TCP] NVIDIA ConnectX card cannot do checksum offload for two L4 headers. The solution is using the checksum partial offload similar to VXLAN | TCP packet. Hardware calculates IP1, IP2 and TCP checksums and software calculates UDP checksum. However, unlike VXLAN | TCP case, IPsec's mlx5 driver cannot access the inner plaintext IP protocol type. Therefore, inner_ipproto is added in the sec_path structure to provide this information. Also, utilize the skb's csum_start to program L4 inner checksum offset. While at it, remove the call to mlx5e_set_eseg_swp and setup software parser fields directly in mlx5e_ipsec_set_swp. mlx5e_set_eseg_swp is not needed as the two features (GENEVE and IPsec) are different and adding this sharing layer creates unnecessary complexity and affect performance. For the case VXLAN packet over IPsec tunnel mode tunnel, checksum offload is disabled because the hardware does not support checksum offload for three L3 (IP) headers. Signed-off-by:

The inner_ipproto saves the inner IP protocol of the plain text packet. This allows vendor's IPsec feature making offload decision at skb's features_check and configuring hardware at ndo_start_xmit. For example, ConnectX6-DX IPsec device needs the plaintext's IP protocol to support partial checksum offload on VXLAN/GENEVE packet over IPsec transport mode tunnel. Signed-off-by:

Mat Martineau says: ==================== mptcp: Connection-time 'C' flag and two fixes Here are six more patches from the MPTCP tree. Most of them add support for the 'C' flag in the MPTCP connection-time option headers. This flag affects how the initial address and port are treated by each peer. Normally one peer may send MP_JOIN requests to the remote address and port that were used when initiating the MPTCP connection. The 'C' bit indicates that MP_JOINs should only be sent to remote addresses that have been advertised with ADD_ADDR. The other two patches are unrelated improvements. Patches 1-4: Add the 'C' flag feature, a sysctl to optionally enable it, and a selftest. Patch 5: Adjust rp_filter settings in a selftest.

The current cleanup rbuf tries a bit too hard to avoid acquiring the subflow socket lock. We may end-up delaying the needed ack, or skip acking a blocked subflow. Address the above extending the conditions used to trigger the cleanup to reflect more closely what TCP does and invoking tcp_cleanup_rbuf() on all the active subflows. Note that we can't replicate the exact tests implemented in tcp_cleanup_rbuf(), as MPTCP lacks some of the required info - e.g. ping-pong mode. Signed-off-by:

Xin Long says: ==================== sctp: implement RFC8899: Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery for SCTP transport Overview(From RFC8899): In contrast to PMTUD, Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery (PLPMTUD) [RFC4821] introduces a method that does not rely upon reception and validation of PTB messages. It is therefore more robust than Classical PMTUD. This has become the recommended approach for implementing discovery of the PMTU [BCP145]. It uses a general strategy in which the PL sends probe packets to search for the largest size of unfragmented datagram that can be sent over a network path. Probe packets are sent to explore using a larger packet size. If a probe packet is successfully delivered (as determined by the PL), then the PLPMTU is raised to the size of the successful probe. If a black hole is detected (e.g., where packets of size PLPMTU are consistently not received), the method reduces the PLPMTU. SCTP Probe Packets: As the RFC suggested, the probe packets consist of an SCTP common header followed by a HEARTBEAT chunk and a PAD chunk. The PAD chunk is used to control the length of the probe packet. The HEARTBEAT chunk is used to trigger the sending of a HEARTBEAT ACK chunk to confirm this probe on the HEARTBEAT sender. The HEARTBEAT chunk also carries a Heartbeat Information parameter that includes the probe size to help an implementation associate a HEARTBEAT ACK with the size of probe that was sent. The sender use the nonce and the probe size to verify the information returned. Detailed Implementation on SCTP: +------+ +------->| Base |-----------------+ Connectivity | +------+ | or BASE_PLPMTU | | | confirmation failed | | v | | Connectivity +-------+ | | and BASE_PLPMTU | Error | | | confirmed +-------+ | | | Consistent | v | connectivity Black Hole | +--------+ | and BASE_PLPMTU detected | | Search |<---------------+ confirmed | +--------+ | ^ | | | | | Raise | | Search | timer | | algorithm | expired | | completed | | | | | v | +-----------------+ +---| Search Complete | +-----------------+ When PLPMTUD is enabled, it's in Base state, and starts to probe with BASE_PLPMTU (1200). If this probe succeeds, it goes to Search state; If this probe fails, it goes to Error state under which pl.pmtu goes down to MIN_PLPMTU (512) and keeps probing with BASE_PLPMTU until it succeeds and goes to Search state. During the Search state, the probe size is growing by a Big step (32) every time when the last probe succeeds at the beginning. Once a probe (such as 1420) fails after trying MAX_PROBES (3) times, the probe_size goes back to the last one (1420 - 32 = 1388), meanwhile 'probe_high' is set to 1420 and the growing step becomes a Small one (4). Then the probe is continuing with a Small step grown each round. Until it gets the optimal size (such as 1400) when probe with its next probe size (1404) fails, it sync this size to pathmtu and goes to Complete state. In Complete state, it will only does a probe check for the pathmtu just set, if it fails, which means a Black Hole is detected and it goes back to Base state. If it succeeds, it goes back to Search state again, and probe is continuing with growing a Small step (1400 + 4). If this probe fails, probe_high is set and goes back to 1388 and then Complete state, which is kind of a loop normally. However if the env's pathmtu changes to a big size somehow, this probe will succeed and then probe continues with growing a Big step (1400 + 32) each round until another probe fails. PTB Messages Process: PLPMTUD doesn't rely on these package to find the pmtu, and shouldn't trust it either. When processing them, it only changes the probe_size to PL_PTB_SIZE(info - hlen) if 'pl.pmtu < PL_PTB_SIZE < the current probe_size' druing Search state. As this could help probe_size to get to the optimal size faster, for exmaple: pl.pmtu = 1388, probe_size = 1420, while the env's pathmtu = 1400. When probe_size is 1420, a Toobig packet with 1400 comes back. If probe size changes to use 1400, it will save quite a few rounds to get there. But of course after having this value, PLPMTUD will still verify it on its own before using it. Patches: - Patch 1-6: introduce some new constants/variables from the RFC, systcl and members in transport, APIs for the following patches, chunks and a timer for the probe sending and some codes for the probe receiving. - Patch 7-9: implement the state transition on the tx path, rx path and toobig ICMP packet processing. This is the main algorithm part. - Patch 10: activate this feature - Patch 11-14: improve the process for ICMP packets for SCTP over UDP, so that it can also be covered by this feature. Tests: - do sysctl and setsockopt tests for this feature's enabling and disabling. - get these pr_debug points for this feature by # cat /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control | grep PLP and enable them on kernel dynamic debug, then play with the pathmtu and check if the state transition and plpmtu change match the RFC. - do the above tests for SCTP over IPv4/IPv6 and SCTP over UDP. v1->v2: - See Patch 06/14. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Previously, sctp over udp was using udp tunnel's icmp err process, which only does sk lookup on sctp side. However for sctp's icmp error process, there are more things to do, like syncing assoc pmtu/retransmit packets for toobig type err, and starting proto_unreach_timer for unreach type err etc. Now after adding PLPMTUD, which also requires to process toobig type err on sctp side. This patch is to process icmp err on sctp side by parsing the type/code/info in .encap_err_lookup and call sctp's icmp processing functions. Note as the 'redirect' err process needs to know the outer ip(v6) header's, we have to leave it to udp(v6)_err to handle it. Signed-off-by:

sctp_transport_pl_reset() is called whenever any of these 3 members in transport is changed: - probe_interval - param_flags & SPP_PMTUD_ENABLE - state == ACTIVE If all are true, start the PLPMTUD when it's not yet started. If any of these is false, stop the PLPMTUD when it's already running. sctp_transport_pl_update() is called when the transport dst has changed. It will restart the PLPMTUD probe. Again, the pathmtu won't change but use the dst's mtu until the Search phase is done. Note that after using PLPMTUD, the pathmtu is only initialized with the dst mtu when the transport dst changes. At other time it is updated by pl.pmtu. So sctp_transport_pmtu_check() will be called only when PLPMTUD is disabled in sctp_packet_config(). After this patch, the PLPMTUD feature from RFC8899 will be activated and can be used by users. Signed-off-by:

PLPMTUD will short-circuit the old process for icmp TOOBIG packets. This part is described in rfc8899#section-4.6.2 (PL_PTB_SIZE = PTB_SIZE - other_headers_len). Note that from rfc8899#section-5.2 State Machine, each case below is for some specific states only: a) PL_PTB_SIZE < MIN_PLPMTU || PL_PTB_SIZE >= PROBED_SIZE, discard it, for any state b) MIN_PLPMTU < PL_PTB_SIZE < BASE_PLPMTU, Base -> Error, for Base state c) BASE_PLPMTU <= PL_PTB_SIZE < PLPMTU, Search -> Base or Complete -> Base, for Search and Complete states. d) PLPMTU < PL_PTB_SIZE < PROBED_SIZE, set pl.probe_size to PL_PTB_SIZE then verify it, for Search state. The most important one is case d), which will help find the optimal fast during searching. Like when pathmtu = 1392 for SCTP over IPv4, the search will be (20 is iphdr_len): 1. probe with 1200 - 20 2. probe with 1232 - 20 3. probe with 1264 - 20 ... 7. probe with 1388 - 20 8. probe with 1420 - 20 When sending the probe with 1420 - 20, TOOBIG may come with PL_PTB_SIZE = 1392 - 20. Then it matches case d), and saves some rounds to try with the 1392 - 20 probe. But of course, PLPMTUD doesn't trust TOOBIG packets, and it will go back to the common searching once the probe with the new size can't be verified. Signed-off-by: -

As described in rfc8899#section-5.2, when a probe succeeds, there might be the following state transitions: - Base -> Search, occurs when probe succeeds with BASE_PLPMTU, pl.pmtu is not changing, pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP, - Error -> Search, occurs when probe succeeds with BASE_PLPMTU, pl.pmtu is changed from SCTP_MIN_PLPMTU to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU, pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP. - Search -> Search Complete, occurs when probe succeeds with the probe size SCTP_MAX_PLPMTU less than pl.probe_high, pl.pmtu is not changing, but update *pathmtu* with it, pl.probe_size is set back to pl.pmtu to double check it. - Search Complete -> Search, occurs when probe succeeds with the probe size equal to pl.pmtu, pl.pmtu is not changing, pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP. So search process can be described as: 1. When it just enters 'Search' state, *pathmtu* is not updated with pl.pmtu, and probe_size increases by a big step (SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP) each round. 2. Until pl.probe_high is set when a probe fails, and probe_size decreases back to pl.pmtu, as described in the last patch. 3. When the probe with the new size succeeds, probe_size changes to increase by a small step (SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP) due to pl.probe_high is set. 4. Until probe_size is next to pl.probe_high, the searching finishes and it goes to 'Complete' state and updates *pathmtu* with pl.pmtu, and then probe_size is set to pl.pmtu to confirm by once more probe. 5. This probe occurs after "30 * probe_inteval", a much longer time than that in Search state. Once it is done it goes to 'Search' state again with probe_size increased by SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP. As we can see above, during the searching, pl.pmtu changes while *pathmtu* doesn't. *pathmtu* is only updated when the search finishes by which it gets an optimal value for it. A big step is used at the beginning until it gets close to the optimal value, then it changes to a small step until it has this optimal value. The small step is also used in 'Complete' until it goes to 'Search' state again and the probe with 'pmtu + the small step' succeeds, which means a higher size could be used. Then probe_size changes to increase by a big step again until it gets close to the next optimal value. Note that anytime when black hole is detected, it goes directly to 'Base' state with pl.pmtu set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU, as described in the last patch. Signed-off-by: -

The state transition is described in rfc8899#section-5.2, PROBE_COUNT == MAX_PROBES means the probe fails for MAX times, and the state transition includes: - Base -> Error, occurs when BASE_PLPMTU Confirmation Fails, pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_MIN_PLPMTU, probe_size is still SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU; - Search -> Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected, pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU, probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU; - Search Complete -> Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU, probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU; Note a black hole is encountered when a sender is unaware that packets are not being delivered to the destination endpoint. So it includes the probe failures with equal probe_size to pl.pmtu, and definitely not include that with greater probe_size than pl.pmtu. The later one is the normal probe failure where probe_size should decrease back to pl.pmtu and pl.probe_high is set. pl.probe_high would be used on HB ACK recv path in the next patch.

This patch does exactly what rfc8899#section-6.2.1.2 says: The SCTP sender needs to be able to determine the total size of a probe packet. The HEARTBEAT chunk could carry a Heartbeat Information parameter that includes, besides the information suggested in [RFC4960], the probe size to help an implementation associate a HEARTBEAT ACK with the size of probe that was sent. The sender could also use other methods, such as sending a nonce and verifying the information returned also contains the corresponding nonce. The length of the PAD chunk is computed by reducing the probing size by the size of the SCTP common header and the HEARTBEAT chunk. Note that HB ACK chunk will carry back whatever HB chunk carried, including the probe_size we put it in; We also check hbinfo->probe_size in the HB ACK against link->pl.probe_size to validate this HB ACK chunk. v1->v2: - Remove the unused 'sp' and add static for sctp_packet_bundle_pad().

There are 3 timers described in rfc8899#section-5.1.1: PROBE_TIMER, PMTU_RAISE_TIMER, CONFIRMATION_TIMER This patches adds a 'probe_timer' in transport, and it works as either PROBE_TIMER or PMTU_RAISE_TIMER. At most time, it works as PROBE_TIMER and expires every a 'probe_interval' time to send the HB probe packet. When transport pl enters COMPLETE state, it works as PMTU_RAISE_TIMER and expires in 'probe_interval * 30' time to go back to SEARCH state and do searching again. SCTP HB is an acknowledged packet, CONFIRMATION_TIMER is not needed. The timer will start when transport pl enters BASE state and stop when it enters DISABLED state. Signed-off-by:

These are 4 constants described in rfc8899#section-5.1.2: MAX_PROBES, MIN_PLPMTU, MAX_PLPMTU, BASE_PLPMTU; And 2 variables described in rfc8899#section-5.1.3: PROBED_SIZE, PROBE_COUNT; And 5 states described in rfc8899#section-5.2: DISABLED, BASE, SEARCH, SEARCH_COMPLETE, ERROR; And these 4 APIs are used to reset/update PLPMTUD, check if PLPMTUD is enabled, and calculate the additional headers length for a transport. Note the member 'probe_high' in transport will be set to the probe size when a probe fails with this probe size in the next patches. Signed-off-by:

With this socket option, users can change probe_interval for a transport, asoc or sock after it's created. Note that if the change is for an asoc, also apply the change to each transport in this asoc. Signed-off-by:

PLPMTUD can be enabled by doing 'sysctl -w net.sctp.probe_interval=n'. 'n' is the interval for PLPMTUD probe timer in milliseconds, and it can't be less than 5000 if it's not 0. All asoc/transport's PLPMTUD in a new socket will be enabled by default. Signed-off-by:

This chunk is defined in rfc4820#section-3, and used to pad an SCTP packet. The receiver must discard this chunk and continue processing the rest of the chunks in the packet. Add it now, as it will be bundled with a heartbeat chunk to probe pmtu in the following patches. Signed-off-by:
