There is a long standing bug in linux tcp stack, about ACK messages sent on behalf of TIME_WAIT sockets. In the IP header of the ACK message, we choose to reflect TOS field of incoming message, and this might break some setups. Example of things that were broken : - Routing using TOS as a selector - Firewalls - Trafic classification / shaping We now remember in timewait structure the inet tos field and use it in ACK generation, and route lookup. Notes : - We still reflect incoming TOS in RST messages. - We could extend MuraliRaja Muniraju patch to report TOS value in netlink messages for TIME_WAIT sockets. - A patch is needed for IPv6 Signed-off-by:

Eric W. Biederman reported a lockdep splat in inet_twsk_deschedule() This is caused by inet_twsk_purge(), run from process context, and commit 575f4cd5 (net: Use rcu lookups in inet_twsk_purge.) removed the BH disabling that was necessary. Add the BH disabling but fine grained, right before calling inet_twsk_deschedule(), instead of whole function. With help from Linus Torvalds and Eric W. Biederman Reported-by:

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include bloc...

When we find a timewait connection in __inet_hash_connect() and reuse it for a new connection request, we have a race window, releasing bind list lock and reacquiring it in __inet_twsk_kill() to remove timewait socket from list. Another thread might find the timewait socket we already chose, leading to list corruption and crashes. Fix is to remove timewait socket from bind list before releasing the bind lock. Note: This problem happens if sysctl_tcp_tw_reuse is set. Reported-by:

After TCP RCU conversion, tw->tw_refcnt should not be set to 1 in inet_twsk_alloc(). It allows a RCU reader to get this timewait socket, while we not yet stabilized it. Only choice we have is to set tw_refcnt to 0 in inet_twsk_alloc(), then atomic_add() it later, once everything is done. Location of this atomic_add() is tricky, because we dont want another writer to find this timewait in ehash, while tw_refcnt is still zero ! Thanks to Kapil Dakhane tests and reports. Signed-off-by:

Its currently possible that several threads issuing a connect() find the same timewait socket and try to reuse it, leading to list corruptions. Condition for bug is that these threads bound their socket on same address/port of to-be-find timewait socket, and connected to same target. (SO_REUSEADDR needed) To fix this problem, we could unhash timewait socket while holding ehash lock, to make sure lookups/changes will be serialized. Only first thread finds the timewait socket, other ones find the established socket and return an EADDRNOTAVAIL error. This second version takes into account Evgeniy's review and makes sure inet_twsk_put() is called outside of locked sections. Signed-off-by:

This function walks the whole hashtable so there is no point in passing it a network namespace. Instead I purge all timewait sockets from dead network namespaces that I find. If the namespace is one of the once I am trying to purge I am guaranteed no new timewait sockets can be formed so this will get them all. If the namespace is one I am not acting for it might form a few more but I will call inet_twsk_purge again and shortly to get rid of them. In any even if the network namespace is dead timewait sockets are useless. Move the calls of inet_twsk_purge into batch_exit routines so that if I am killing a bunch of namespaces at once I will just call inet_twsk_purge once and save a lot of redundant unnecessary work. My simple 4k network namespace exit test the cleanup time dropped from roughly 8.2s to 1.6s. While the time spent running inet_twsk_purge fell to about 2ms. 1ms for ipv4 and 1ms for ipv6.

While we are looking up entries to free there is no reason to take the lock in inet_twsk_purge. We have to drop locks and restart occassionally anyway so adding a few more in case we get on the wrong list because of a timewait move is no big deal. At the same time not taking the lock for long periods of time is much more polite to the rest of the users of the hash table. In my test configuration of killing 4k network namespaces this change causes 4k back to back runs of inet_twsk_purge on an empty hash table to go from roughly 20.7s to 3.3s, and the total time to destroy 4k network namespaces goes from roughly 44s to 3.3s.

In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch. Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first read-mostly cache line (inside struct sock_common) and move sk_refcnt to a separate cache line (only written by rx path) This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr, sport and id fields. This allows a future patch to define these fields as macros, like sk_refcnt, without name clashes. Signed-off-by:

There is a race condition in the time-wait sockets code that can lead to premature termination of FIN_WAIT2 and, subsequently, to RST generation when the FIN,ACK from the peer finally arrives: Time TCP header 0.000000 30755 > http [SYN] Seq=0 Win=2920 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=282912 TSER=0 0.000008 http > 30755 aSYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 Win=2896 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=... 0.136899 HEAD /1b.html?n1Lg=v1 HTTP/1.0 [Packet size limited during capture] 0.136934 HTTP/1.0 200 OK [Packet size limited during capture] 0.136945 http > 30755 [FIN, ACK] Seq=187 Ack=207 Win=2690 Len=0 TSV=270521... 0.136974 30755 > http [ACK] Seq=207 Ack=187 Win=2734 Len=0 TSV=283049 TSER=... 0.177983 30755 > http [ACK] Seq=207 Ack=188 Win=2733 Len=0 TSV=283089 TSER=... 0.238618 30755 > http [FIN, ACK] Seq=207 Ack=188 Win=2733 Len=0 TSV=283151... 0.238625 http > 30755 [RST] Seq=188 Win=0 Len=0 Say twdr->slot = 1 and we are running inet_twdr_hangman and in this instance inet_twdr_do_twkill_work returns 1. At that point we will mark slot 1 and schedule inet_twdr_twkill_work. We will also make twdr->slot = 2. Next, a connection is closed and tcp_time_wait(TCP_FIN_WAIT2, timeo) is called which will create a new FIN_WAIT2 time-wait socket and will place it in the last to be reached slot, i.e. twdr->slot = 1. At this point say inet_twdr_twkill_work will run which will start destroying the time-wait sockets in slot 1, including the just added TCP_FIN_WAIT2 one. To avoid this issue we increment the slot only if all entries in the slot have been purged. This change may delay the slots cleanup by a time-wait death row period but only if the worker thread didn't had the time to run/purge the current slot in the next period (6 seconds with default sysctl settings). However, on such a busy system even without this change we would probably see delays... Signed-off-by:

RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure : - sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the price of call_rcu() at freeing time. - hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers. This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established and timewait sockets. Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case. __inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock) Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU (bind table and listen table are still using traditional locking) Signed-off-by:

The timewait sockets life cycle is not tied with the network namespace, that means the timewait sockets stay alive while the network namespace dies. The timewait sockets are for avoiding to receive a duplicate packet from the network, if the network namespace is freed, the network stack is removed, so no chance to receive any packets from the outside world. Furthermore, having a pending destruction timer on these sockets with a network namespace freed is not safe and will lead to an oops if the timer callback which try to access data belonging to the namespace like for example in: inet_twdr_do_twkill_work -> NET_INC_STATS_BH(twsk_net(tw), LINUX_MIB_TIMEWAITED); Purging the timewait sockets at the network namespace destruction will: 1) speed up memory freeing for the namespace 2) fix kernel panic on asynchronous timewait destruction Signed-off-by:

As done two years ago on IP route cache table (commit 22c047cc ) , we can avoid using one lock per hash bucket for the huge TCP/DCCP hash tables. On a typical x86_64 platform, this saves about 2MB or 4MB of ram, for litle performance differences. (we hit a different cache line for the rwlock, but then the bucket cache line have a better sharing factor among cpus, since we dirty it less often). For netstat or ss commands that want a full scan of hash table, we perform fewer memory accesses. Using a 'small' table of hashed rwlocks should be more than enough to provide correct SMP concurrency between different buckets, without using too much memory. Sizing of this table depends on num_possible_cpus() and various CONFIG settings. This patch provides some locking abstraction that may ease a future work using a different model for TCP/DCCP table.

ehash table layout is currently this one : First half of this table is used by sockets not in TIME_WAIT state Second half of it is used by sockets in TIME_WAIT state. This is non optimal because of for a given hash or socket, the two chain heads are located in separate cache lines. Moreover the locks of the second half are never used. If instead of this halving, we use two list heads in inet_ehash_bucket instead of only one, we probably can avoid one cache miss, and reduce ram usage, particularly if sizeof(rwlock_t) is big (various CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC settings). So we still halves the table but we keep together related chains to speedup lookups and socket state change. In this patch I did not try to align struct inet_ehash_bucket, but a future patch could try to make this structure have a convenient size (a power of two or a multiple of L1_CACHE_SIZE). I guess rwlock will just vanish as soon as RCU is plugged into ehash :) , so maybe we dont need to scratch our heads to align the bucket... Note : In case struct inet_ehash_bucket is not a power of two, we could probably change alloc_large_system_hash() (in case it use __get_free_pages()) to free the unused space. It currently allocates a big zone, but the last quarter of it could be freed. Again, this should be a temporary 'problem'. Patch tested on ipv4 tcp only, but should be OK for IPV6 and DCCP.

As per Ralf Baechle's observations, the schedule_work() call should give enough of a memory barrier, so the explicit one here is totally unnecessary. Signed-off-by:

I believe all the below memory barriers only matter on SMP so therefore the smp_* variant of the barrier should be used. I'm wondering if the barrier in net/ipv4/inet_timewait_sock.c should be dropped entirely. schedule_work's implementation currently implies a memory barrier and I think sane semantics of schedule_work() should imply a memory barrier, as needed so the caller shouldn't have to worry. It's not quite obvious why the barrier in net/packet/af_packet.c is needed; maybe it should be implied through flush_dcache_page? Signed-off-by:

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By:

So that we can share several timewait sockets related functions and make the timewait mini sockets infrastructure closer to the request mini sockets one. Next changesets will take advantage of this, moving more code out of TCP and DCCP v4 and v6 to common infrastructure. Signed-off-by:
