2025-11-20tcp: add net.ipv4.tcp_rcvbuf_low_rttEric Dumazet
This is a follow up of commit aa251c84636c ("tcp: fix too slow tcp_rcvbuf_grow() action") which brought again the issue that I tried to fix in commit 65c5287892e9 ("tcp: fix sk_rcvbuf overshoot") We also recently increased tcp_rmem[2] to 32 MB in commit 572be9bf9d0d ("tcp: increase tcp_rmem[2] to 32 MB") Idea of this patch is to not let tcp_rcvbuf_grow() grow sk->sk_rcvbuf too fast for small RTT flows. If sk->sk_rcvbuf is too big, this can force NIC driver to not recycle pages from their page pool, and also can cause cache evictions for DDIO enabled cpus/NIC, as receivers are usually slower than senders. Add net.ipv4.tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl, set by default to 1000 usec (1 ms) If RTT if smaller than the sysctl value, use the RTT/tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt ratio to control sk_rcvbuf inflation. Tested: Pair of hosts with a 200Gbit IDPF NIC. Using netperf/netserver Client initiates 8 TCP bulk flows, asking netserver to use CPU #10 only. super_netperf 8 -H server -T,10 -l 30 On server, use perf -e tcp:tcp_rcvbuf_grow while test is running.

2025-11-07tcp: add net.ipv4.tcp_comp_sack_rtt_percentEric Dumazet
TCP SACK compression has been added in 2018 in commit 5d9f4262b7ea ("tcp: add SACK compression"). It is working great for WAN flows (with large RTT). Wifi in particular gets a significant boost _when_ ACK are suppressed. Add a new sysctl so that we can tune the very conservative 5 % value that has been used so far in this formula, so that small RTT flows can benefit from this feature. delay = min ( 5 % of RTT, 1 ms) This patch adds new tcp_comp_sack_rtt_percent sysctl to ease experiments and tuning. Given that we cap the delay to 1ms (tcp_comp_sack_delay_ns sysctl), set the default value to 33 %. Quoting Neal Cardwell ( https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CADVnQymZ1tFnEA1Q=vtECs0=Db7zHQ8=+WCQtnhHFVbEOzjVnQ@mail.gmail.com/ ) The rationale for 33% is basically to try to facilitate pipelining, where there are always at least 3 ACKs and 3 GSO/TSO skbs per SRTT, so that the path can maintain a budget for 3 full-sized GSO/TSO skbs "in flight" at all times: + 1 skb in the qdisc waiting to be sent by the NIC next + 1 skb being sent by the NIC (being serialized by the NIC out onto the wire) + 1 skb being received and aggregated by the receiver machine's aggregation mechanism (some combination of LRO, GRO, and sack compression) Note that this is basically the same magic number (3) and the same rationales as: (a) tcp_tso_should_defer() ensuring that we defer sending data for no longer than cwnd/tcp_tso_win_divisor (where tcp_tso_win_divisor = 3), and (b) bbr_quantization_budget() ensuring that cwnd is at least 3 GSO/TSO skbs to maintain pipelining and full throughput at low RTTs Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reviewed-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251106115236.3450026-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
2025-10-29ipv4: icmp: Add RFC 5837 supportIdo Schimmel
Add the ability to append the incoming IP interface information to ICMPv4 error messages in accordance with RFC 5837 and RFC 4884. This is required for more meaningful traceroute results in unnumbered networks. The feature is disabled by default and controlled via a new sysctl ("net.ipv4.icmp_errors_extension_mask") which accepts a bitmask of ICMP extensions to append to ICMP error messages. Currently, only a single value is supported, but the interface and the implementation should be able to support more extensions, if needed. Clone the skb and copy the relevant data portions before modifying the skb as the caller of __icmp_send() still owns the skb after the function returns. This should be fine since by default ICMP error messages are rate limited to 1000 per second and no more than 1 per second per specific host. Trim or pad the packet to 128 bytes before appending the ICMP extension structure in order to be compatible with legacy applications that assume that the ICMP extension structure always starts at this offset (the minimum length specified by RFC 4884).

2025-09-18tcp: accecn: AccECN option send controlChia-Yu Chang
Instead of sending the option in every ACK, limit sending to those ACKs where the option is necessary: - Handshake - "Change-triggered ACK" + the ACK following it. The 2nd ACK is necessary to unambiguously indicate which of the ECN byte counters in increasing. The first ACK has two counters increasing due to the ecnfield edge. - ACKs with CE to allow CEP delta validations to take advantage of the option. - Force option to be sent every at least once per 2^22 bytes. The check is done using the bit edges of the byte counters (avoids need for extra variables). - AccECN option beacon to send a few times per RTT even if nothing in the ECN state requires that. The default is 3 times per RTT, and its period can be set via sysctl_tcp_ecn_option_beacon. Below are the pahole outcomes before and after this patch, in which the group size of tcp_sock_write_tx is increased from 89 to 97 due to the new u64 accecn_opt_tstamp member: [BEFORE THIS PATCH] struct tcp_sock { [...] u64 tcp_wstamp_ns; /* 2488 8 */ struct list_head tsorted_sent_queue; /* 2496 16 */ [...] __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_tx[0]; /* 2521 0 */ __cacheline_group_begin__tcp_sock_write_txrx[0]; /* 2521 0 */ u8 nonagle:4; /* 2521: 0 1 */ u8 rate_app_limited:1; /* 2521: 4 1 */ /* XXX 3 bits hole, try to pack */ /* Force alignment to the next boundary: */ u8 :0; u8 received_ce_pending:4;/* 2522: 0 1 */ u8 unused2:4; /* 2522: 4 1 */ u8 accecn_minlen:2; /* 2523: 0 1 */ u8 est_ecnfield:2; /* 2523: 2 1 */ u8 unused3:4; /* 2523: 4 1 */ [...] __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_txrx[0]; /* 2628 0 */ [...] /* size: 3200, cachelines: 50, members: 171 */ } [AFTER THIS PATCH] struct tcp_sock { [...] u64 tcp_wstamp_ns; /* 2488 8 */ u64 accecn_opt_tstamp; /* 2596 8 */ struct list_head tsorted_sent_queue; /* 2504 16 */ [...] __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_tx[0]; /* 2529 0 */ __cacheline_group_begin__tcp_sock_write_txrx[0]; /* 2529 0 */ u8 nonagle:4; /* 2529: 0 1 */ u8 rate_app_limited:1; /* 2529: 4 1 */ /* XXX 3 bits hole, try to pack */ /* Force alignment to the next boundary: */ u8 :0; u8 received_ce_pending:4;/* 2530: 0 1 */ u8 unused2:4; /* 2530: 4 1 */ u8 accecn_minlen:2; /* 2531: 0 1 */ u8 est_ecnfield:2; /* 2531: 2 1 */ u8 accecn_opt_demand:2; /* 2531: 4 1 */ u8 prev_ecnfield:2; /* 2531: 6 1 */ [...] __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_txrx[0]; /* 2636 0 */ [...] /* size: 3200, cachelines: 50, members: 173 */ } Signed-off-by: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com> Co-developed-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ij@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ij@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250916082434.100722-8-chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
2025-09-18tcp: accecn: AccECN optionIlpo Järvinen
The Accurate ECN allows echoing back the sum of bytes for each IP ECN field value in the received packets using AccECN option. This change implements AccECN option tx & rx side processing without option send control related features that are added by a later change. Based on specification: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt (Some features of the spec will be added in the later changes rather than in this one). A full-length AccECN option is always attempted but if it does not fit, the minimum length is selected based on the counters that have changed since the last update. The AccECN option (with 24-bit fields) often ends in odd sizes so the option write code tries to take advantage of some nop used to pad the other TCP options. The delivered_ecn_bytes pairs with received_ecn_bytes similar to how delivered_ce pairs with received_ce. In contrast to ACE field, however, the option is not always available to update delivered_ecn_bytes. For ACK w/o AccECN option, the delivered bytes calculated based on the cumulative ACK+SACK information are assigned to one of the counters using an estimation heuristic to select the most likely ECN byte counter. Any estimation error is corrected when the next AccECN option arrives. It may occur that the heuristic gets too confused when there are enough different byte counter deltas between ACKs with the AccECN option in which case the heuristic just gives up on updating the counters for a while. tcp_ecn_option sysctl can be used to select option sending mode for AccECN: TCP_ECN_OPTION_DISABLED, TCP_ECN_OPTION_MINIMUM, and TCP_ECN_OPTION_FULL. This patch increases the size of tcp_info struct, as there is no existing holes for new u32 variables.

2025-09-18tcp: accecn: AccECN negotiationIlpo Järvinen
Accurate ECN negotiation parts based on the specification: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt Accurate ECN is negotiated using ECE, CWR and AE flags in the TCP header. TCP falls back into using RFC3168 ECN if one of the ends supports only RFC3168-style ECN. The AccECN negotiation includes reflecting IP ECN field value seen in SYN and SYNACK back using the same bits as negotiation to allow responding to SYN CE marks and to detect ECN field mangling. CE marks should not occur currently because SYN=1 segments are sent with Non-ECT in IP ECN field (but proposal exists to remove this restriction). Reflecting SYN IP ECN field in SYNACK is relatively simple. Reflecting SYNACK IP ECN field in the final/third ACK of the handshake is more challenging. Linux TCP code is not well prepared for using the final/third ACK a signalling channel which makes things somewhat complicated here. tcp_ecn sysctl can be used to select the highest ECN variant (Accurate ECN, ECN, No ECN) that is attemped to be negotiated and requested for incoming connection and outgoing connection: TCP_ECN_IN_NOECN_OUT_NOECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ECN_OUT_ECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ECN_OUT_NOECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_ACCECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_ECN, and TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_NOECN. After this patch, the size of tcp_request_sock remains unchanged and no new holes are added.

2024-12-11tcp: Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delayJakub Sitnicki
Today we have a hardcoded delay of 1 sec before a TIME-WAIT socket can be reused by reopening a connection. This is a safe choice based on an assumption that the other TCP timestamp clock frequency, which is unknown to us, may be as low as 1 Hz (RFC 7323, section 5.4). However, this means that in the presence of short lived connections with an RTT of couple of milliseconds, the time during which a 4-tuple is blocked from reuse can be orders of magnitude longer that the connection lifetime. Combined with a reduced pool of ephemeral ports, when using IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE to share an egress IP address between hosts [1], the long TIME-WAIT reuse delay can lead to port exhaustion, where all available 4-tuples are tied up in TIME-WAIT state. Turn the reuse delay into a per-netns setting so that sysadmins can make more aggressive assumptions about remote TCP timestamp clock frequency and shorten the delay in order to allow connections to reincarnate faster. Note that applications can completely bypass the TIME-WAIT delay protection already today by locking the local port with bind() before connecting. Such immediate connection reuse may result in PAWS failing to detect old duplicate segments, leaving us with just the sequence number check as a safety net. This new configurable offers a trade off where the sysadmin can balance between the risk of PAWS detection failing to act versus exhausting ports by having sockets tied up in TIME-WAIT state for too long.

2024-06-12net: ipv4: Add a sysctl to set multipath hash seedPetr Machata
When calculating hashes for the purpose of multipath forwarding, both IPv4 and IPv6 code currently fall back on flow_hash_from_keys(). That uses a randomly-generated seed. That's a fine choice by default, but unfortunately some deployments may need a tighter control over the seed used. In this patch, make the seed configurable by adding a new sysctl key, net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_seed to control the seed. This seed is used specifically for multipath forwarding and not for the other concerns that flow_hash_from_keys() is used for, such as queue selection. Expose the knob as sysctl because other such settings, such as headers to hash, are also handled that way. Like those, the multipath hash seed is a per-netns variable. Despite being placed in the net.ipv4 namespace, the multipath seed sysctl is used for both IPv4 and IPv6, similarly to e.g. a number of TCP variables. The seed used by flow_hash_from_keys() is a 128-bit quantity. However it seems that usually the seed is a much more modest value. 32 bits seem typical (Cisco, Cumulus), some systems go even lower. For that reason, and to decouple the user interface from implementation details, go with a 32-bit quantity, which is then quadruplicated to form the siphash key.

Commit 227b60f5102cd added a seqlock to ensure that the low and high port numbers were always updated together. This is overkill because the two 16bit port numbers can be held in a u32 and read/written in a single instruction. More recently 91d0b78c5177f added support for finer per-socket limits. The user-supplied value is 'high << 16 | low' but they are held separately and the socket options protected by the socket lock. Use a u32 containing 'high << 16 | low' for both the 'net' and 'sk' fields and use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to ensure both values are always updated together.

2023-09-12tcp: defer regular ACK while processing socket backlogEric Dumazet
This idea came after a particular workload requested the quickack attribute set on routes, and a performance drop was noticed for large bulk transfers. For high throughput flows, it is best to use one cpu running the user thread issuing socket system calls, and a separate cpu to process incoming packets from BH context. (With TSO/GRO, bottleneck is usually the 'user' cpu) Problem is the user thread can spend a lot of time while holding the socket lock, forcing BH handler to queue most of incoming packets in the socket backlog. Whenever the user thread releases the socket lock, it must first process all accumulated packets in the backlog, potentially adding latency spikes. Due to flood mitigation, having too many packets in the backlog increases chance of unexpected drops. Backlog processing unfortunately shifts a fair amount of cpu cycles from the BH cpu to the 'user' cpu, thus reducing max throughput. This patch takes advantage of the backlog processing, and the fact that ACK are mostly cumulative. The idea is to detect we are in the backlog processing and defer all eligible ACK into a single one, sent from tcp_release_cb(). This saves cpu cycles on both sides, and network resources. Performance of a single TCP flow on a 200Gbit NIC: - Throughput is increased by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit). - Number of generated ACK per second shrinks from 240,000 to 40,000. - Number of backlog drops per second shrinks from 230 to 0. Benchmark context: - Regular netperf TCP_STREAM (no zerocopy) - Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8481C (Saphire Rapids) - MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 17 (~60KB per GRO packet) This feature is guarded by a new sysctl, and enabled by default: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_backlog_ack_defer Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@google.com> Acked-by: Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

2023-06-17tcp: enforce receive buffer memory limits by allowing the tcp window to shrinkmfreemon@cloudflare.com
Under certain circumstances, the tcp receive buffer memory limit set by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf) is increased due to incoming data packets as a result of the window not closing when it should be. This can result in the receive buffer growing all the way up to tcp_rmem[2], even for tcp sessions with a low BDP. To reproduce: Connect a TCP session with the receiver doing nothing and the sender sending small packets (an infinite loop of socket send() with 4 bytes of payload with a sleep of 1 ms in between each send()). This will cause the tcp receive buffer to grow all the way up to tcp_rmem[2]. As a result, a host can have individual tcp sessions with receive buffers of size tcp_rmem[2], and the host itself can reach tcp_mem limits, causing the host to go into tcp memory pressure mode. The fundamental issue is the relationship between the granularity of the window scaling factor and the number of byte ACKed back to the sender. This problem has previously been identified in RFC 7323, appendix F [1]. The Linux kernel currently adheres to never shrinking the window. In addition to the overallocation of memory mentioned above, the current behavior is functionally incorrect, because once tcp_rmem[2] is reached when no remediations remain (i.e. tcp collapse fails to free up any more memory and there are no packets to prune from the out-of-order queue), the receiver will drop in-window packets resulting in retransmissions and an eventual timeout of the tcp session. A receive buffer full condition should instead result in a zero window and an indefinite wait. In practice, this problem is largely hidden for most flows. It is not applicable to mice flows. Elephant flows can send data fast enough to "overrun" the sk_rcvbuf limit (in a single ACK), triggering a zero window. But this problem does show up for other types of flows. Examples are websockets and other type of flows that send small amounts of data spaced apart slightly in time. In these cases, we directly encounter the problem described in [1]. RFC 7323, section 2.4 [2], says there are instances when a retracted window can be offered, and that TCP implementations MUST ensure that they handle a shrinking window, as specified in RFC 1122, section 4.2.2.16 [3]. All prior RFCs on the topic of tcp window management have made clear that sender must accept a shrunk window from the receiver, including RFC 793 [4] and RFC 1323 [5]. This patch implements the functionality to shrink the tcp window when necessary to keep the right edge within the memory limit by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf). This new functionality is enabled with the new sysctl: net.ipv4.tcp_shrink_window Additional information can be found at: https://blog.cloudflare.com/unbounded-memory-usage-by-tcp-for-receive-buffers-and-how-we-fixed-it/ [1] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7323#appendix-F [2] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7323#section-2.4 [3] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1122#page-91 [4] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc793 [5] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1323 Signed-off-by: Mike Freemon <mfreemon@cloudflare.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2023-05-11tcp: make the first N SYN RTO backoffs linearDavid Morley
Currently the SYN RTO schedule follows an exponential backoff scheme, which can be unnecessarily conservative in cases where there are link failures. In such cases, it's better to aggressively try to retransmit packets, so it takes routers less time to find a repath with a working link. We chose a default value for this sysctl of 4, to follow the macOS and IOS backoff scheme of 1,1,1,1,1,2,4,8, ... MacOS and IOS have used this backoff schedule for over a decade, since before this 2009 IETF presentation discussed the behavior: https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/75/slides/tcpm-1.pdf This commit makes the SYN RTO schedule start with a number of linear backoffs given by the following sysctl: * tcp_syn_linear_timeouts This changes the SYN RTO scheme to be: init_rto_val for tcp_syn_linear_timeouts, exp backoff starting at init_rto_val For example if init_rto_val = 1 and tcp_syn_linear_timeouts = 2, our backoff scheme would be: 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...

2022-11-16udp: Introduce optional per-netns hash table.Kuniyuki Iwashima
The maximum hash table size is 64K due to the nature of the protocol. [0] It's smaller than TCP, and fewer sockets can cause a performance drop. On an EC2 c5.24xlarge instance (192 GiB memory), after running iperf3 in different netns, creating 32Mi sockets without data transfer in the root netns causes regression for the iperf3's connection. uhash_entries sockets length Gbps 64K 1 1 5.69 1Mi 16 5.27 2Mi 32 4.90 4Mi 64 4.09 8Mi 128 2.96 16Mi 256 2.06 32Mi 512 1.12 The per-netns hash table breaks the lengthy lists into shorter ones. It is useful on a multi-tenant system with thousands of netns. With smaller hash tables, we can look up sockets faster, isolate noisy neighbours, and reduce lock contention. The max size of the per-netns table is 64K as well. This is because the possible hash range by udp_hashfn() always fits in 64K within the same netns and we cannot make full use of the whole buckets larger than 64K. /* 0 < num < 64K -> X < hash < X + 64K */ (num + net_hash_mix(net)) & mask; Also, the min size is 128. We use a bitmap to search for an available port in udp_lib_get_port(). To keep the bitmap on the stack and not fire the CONFIG_FRAME_WARN error at build time, we round up the table size to 128. The sysctl usage is the same with TCP: $ dmesg | cut -d ' ' -f 6- | grep "UDP hash" UDP hash table entries: 65536 (order: 9, 2097152 bytes, vmalloc) # sysctl net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries = 65536 # can be changed by uhash_entries # sysctl net.ipv4.udp_child_hash_entries net.ipv4.udp_child_hash_entries = 0 # disabled by default # ip netns add test1 # ip netns exec test1 sysctl net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries = -65536 # share the global table # sysctl -w net.ipv4.udp_child_hash_entries=100 net.ipv4.udp_child_hash_entries = 100 # ip netns add test2 # ip netns exec test2 sysctl net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries net.ipv4.udp_hash_entries = 128 # own a per-netns table with 2^n buckets We could optimise the hash table lookup/iteration further by removing the netns comparison for the per-netns one in the future. Also, we could optimise the sparse udp_hslot layout by putting it in udp_table.

2022-10-28tcp: add sysctls for TCP PLB parametersMubashir Adnan Qureshi
PLB (Protective Load Balancing) is a host based mechanism for load balancing across switch links. It leverages congestion signals(e.g. ECN) from transport layer to randomly change the path of the connection experiencing congestion. PLB changes the path of the connection by changing the outgoing IPv6 flow label for IPv6 connections (implemented in Linux by calling sk_rethink_txhash()). Because of this implementation mechanism, PLB can currently only work for IPv6 traffic. For more information, see the SIGCOMM 2022 paper: https://doi.org/10.1145/3544216.3544226 This commit adds new sysctl knobs and sets their default values for TCP PLB.

2022-09-20tcp: Introduce optional per-netns ehash.Kuniyuki Iwashima
The more sockets we have in the hash table, the longer we spend looking up the socket. While running a number of small workloads on the same host, they penalise each other and cause performance degradation. The root cause might be a single workload that consumes much more resources than the others. It often happens on a cloud service where different workloads share the same computing resource. On EC2 c5.24xlarge instance (196 GiB memory and 524288 (1Mi / 2) ehash entries), after running iperf3 in different netns, creating 24Mi sockets without data transfer in the root netns causes about 10% performance regression for the iperf3's connection. thash_entries sockets length Gbps 524288 1 1 50.7 24Mi 48 45.1 It is basically related to the length of the list of each hash bucket. For testing purposes to see how performance drops along the length, I set 131072 (1Mi / 8) to thash_entries, and here's the result. thash_entries sockets length Gbps 131072 1 1 50.7 1Mi 8 49.9 2Mi 16 48.9 4Mi 32 47.3 8Mi 64 44.6 16Mi 128 40.6 24Mi 192 36.3 32Mi 256 32.5 40Mi 320 27.0 48Mi 384 25.0 To resolve the socket lookup degradation, we introduce an optional per-netns hash table for TCP, but it's just ehash, and we still share the global bhash, bhash2 and lhash2. With a smaller ehash, we can look up non-listener sockets faster and isolate such noisy neighbours. In addition, we can reduce lock contention. We can control the ehash size by a new sysctl knob. However, depending on workloads, it will require very sensitive tuning, so we disable the feature by default (net.ipv4.tcp_child_ehash_entries == 0). Moreover, we can fall back to using the global ehash in case we fail to allocate enough memory for a new ehash. The maximum size is 16Mi, which is large enough that even if we have 48Mi sockets, the average list length is 3, and regression would be less than 1%. We can check the current ehash size by another read-only sysctl knob, net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries. A negative value means the netns shares the global ehash (per-netns ehash is disabled or failed to allocate memory). # dmesg | cut -d ' ' -f 5- | grep "established hash" TCP established hash table entries: 524288 (order: 10, 4194304 bytes, vmalloc hugepage) # sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries = 524288 # can be changed by thash_entries # sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_child_ehash_entries net.ipv4.tcp_child_ehash_entries = 0 # disabled by default # ip netns add test1 # ip netns exec test1 sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries = -524288 # share the global ehash # sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_child_ehash_entries=100 net.ipv4.tcp_child_ehash_entries = 100 # ip netns add test2 # ip netns exec test2 sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries net.ipv4.tcp_ehash_entries = 128 # own a per-netns ehash with 2^n buckets When more than two processes in the same netns create per-netns ehash concurrently with different sizes, we need to guarantee the size in one of the following ways: 1) Share the global ehash and create per-netns ehash First, unshare() with tcp_child_ehash_entries==0. It creates dedicated netns sysctl knobs where we can safely change tcp_child_ehash_entries and clone()/unshare() to create a per-netns ehash. 2) Control write on sysctl by BPF We can use BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL to allow/deny read/write on sysctl knobs. Note that the global ehash allocated at the boot time is spread over available NUMA nodes, but inet_pernet_hashinfo_alloc() will allocate pages for each per-netns ehash depending on the current process's NUMA policy. By default, the allocation is done in the local node only, so the per-netns hash table could fully reside on a random node. Thus, depending on the NUMA policy the netns is created with and the CPU the current thread is running on, we could see some performance differences for highly optimised networking applications. Note also that the default values of two sysctl knobs depend on the ehash size and should be tuned carefully: tcp_max_tw_buckets : tcp_child_ehash_entries / 2 tcp_max_syn_backlog : max(128, tcp_child_ehash_entries / 128) As a bonus, we can dismantle netns faster. Currently, while destroying netns, we call inet_twsk_purge(), which walks through the global ehash. It can be potentially big because it can have many sockets other than TIME_WAIT in all netns. Splitting ehash changes that situation, where it's only necessary for inet_twsk_purge() to clean up TIME_WAIT sockets in each netns. With regard to this, we do not free the per-netns ehash in inet_twsk_kill() to avoid UAF while iterating the per-netns ehash in inet_twsk_purge(). Instead, we do it in tcp_sk_exit_batch() after calling tcp_twsk_purge() to keep it protocol-family-independent. In the future, we could optimise ehash lookup/iteration further by removing netns comparison for the per-netns ehash.

2022-09-20tcp: Don't allocate tcp_death_row outside of struct netns_ipv4.Kuniyuki Iwashima
We will soon introduce an optional per-netns ehash and access hash tables via net->ipv4.tcp_death_row->hashinfo instead of &tcp_hashinfo in most places. It could harm the fast path because dereferences of two fields in net and tcp_death_row might incur two extra cache line misses. To save one dereference, let's place tcp_death_row back in netns_ipv4 and fetch hashinfo via net->ipv4.tcp_death_row"."hashinfo. Note tcp_death_row was initially placed in netns_ipv4, and commit fbb8295248e1 ("tcp: allocate tcp_death_row outside of struct netns_ipv4") changed it to a pointer so that we can fire TIME_WAIT timers after freeing net. However, we don't do so after commit 04c494e68a13 ("Revert "tcp/dccp: get rid of inet_twsk_purge()""), so we need not define tcp_death_row as a pointer. Also, we move refcount_dec_and_test(&tw_refcount) from tcp_sk_exit() to tcp_sk_exit_batch() as a debug check.

2022-07-15tcp/udp: Make early_demux back namespacified.Kuniyuki Iwashima
Commit e21145a9871a ("ipv4: namespacify ip_early_demux sysctl knob") made it possible to enable/disable early_demux on a per-netns basis. Then, we introduced two knobs, tcp_early_demux and udp_early_demux, to switch it for TCP/UDP in commit dddb64bcb346 ("net: Add sysctl to toggle early demux for tcp and udp"). However, the .proc_handler() was wrong and actually disabled us from changing the behaviour in each netns. We can execute early_demux if net.ipv4.ip_early_demux is on and each proto .early_demux() handler is not NULL. When we toggle (tcp|udp)_early_demux, the change itself is saved in each netns variable, but the .early_demux() handler is a global variable, so the handler is switched based on the init_net's sysctl variable. Thus, netns (tcp|udp)_early_demux knobs have nothing to do with the logic. Whether we CAN execute proto .early_demux() is always decided by init_net's sysctl knob, and whether we DO it or not is by each netns ip_early_demux knob. This patch namespacifies (tcp|udp)_early_demux again. For now, the users of the .early_demux() handler are TCP and UDP only, and they are called directly to avoid retpoline. So, we can remove the .early_demux() handler from inet6?_protos and need not dereference them in ip6?_rcv_finish_core(). If another proto needs .early_demux(), we can restore it at that time.

2022-03-09tcp: adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rttEric Dumazet
Back when tcp_tso_autosize() and TCP pacing were introduced, our focus was really to reduce burst sizes for long distance flows. The simple heuristic of using sk_pacing_rate/1024 has worked well, but can lead to too small packets for hosts in the same rack/cluster, when thousands of flows compete for the bottleneck. Neal Cardwell had the idea of making the TSO burst size a function of both sk_pacing_rate and tcp_min_rtt() Indeed, for local flows, sending bigger bursts is better to reduce cpu costs, as occasional losses can be repaired quite fast. This patch is based on Neal Cardwell implementation done more than two years ago. bbr is adjusting max_pacing_rate based on measured bandwidth, while cubic would over estimate max_pacing_rate. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tso_rtt_log can be used to tune or disable this new feature, in logarithmic steps. Tested: 100Gbit NIC, two hosts in the same rack, 4K MTU. 600 flows rate-limited to 20000000 bytes per second.

2022-01-26tcp: allocate tcp_death_row outside of struct netns_ipv4Eric Dumazet
I forgot tcp had per netns tracking of timewait sockets, and their sysctl to change the limit. After 0dad4087a86a ("tcp/dccp: get rid of inet_twsk_purge()"), whole struct net can be freed before last tw socket is freed. We need to allocate a separate struct inet_timewait_death_row object per netns. tw_count becomes a refcount and gains associated debugging infrastructure.

2021-09-23tcp: remove sk_{tr}x_skb_cacheEric Dumazet
This reverts the following patches : - commit 2e05fcae83c4 ("tcp: fix compile error if !CONFIG_SYSCTL") - commit 4f661542a402 ("tcp: fix zerocopy and notsent_lowat issues") - commit 472c2e07eef0 ("tcp: add one skb cache for tx") - commit 8b27dae5a2e8 ("tcp: add one skb cache for rx") Having a cache of one skb (in each direction) per TCP socket is fragile, since it can cause a significant increase of memory needs, and not good enough for high speed flows anyway where more than one skb is needed. We want instead to add a generic infrastructure, with more flexible per-cpu caches, for alien NUMA nodes.

Add a new multipath hash policy where the packet fields used for hash calculation are determined by user space via the fib_multipath_hash_fields sysctl that was introduced in the previous patch. The current set of available packet fields includes both outer and inner fields, which requires two invocations of the flow dissector. Avoid unnecessary dissection of the outer or inner flows by skipping dissection if none of the outer or inner fields are required. In accordance with the existing policies, when an skb is not available, packet fields are extracted from the provided flow key. In which case, only outer fields are considered.

A subsequent patch will add a new multipath hash policy where the packet fields used for multipath hash calculation are determined by user space. This patch adds a sysctl that allows user space to set these fields. The packet fields are represented using a bitmask and are common between IPv4 and IPv6 to allow user space to use the same numbering across both protocols. For example, to hash based on standard 5-tuple: # sysctl -w net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x0037 net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_fields = 0x0037 The kernel rejects unknown fields, for example: # sysctl -w net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x1000 sysctl: setting key "net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_fields": Invalid argument More fields can be added in the future, if needed.

2021-04-13net: Make tcp_allowed_congestion_control readonly in non-init netnsJonathon Reinhart
Currently, tcp_allowed_congestion_control is global and writable; writing to it in any net namespace will leak into all other net namespaces. tcp_available_congestion_control and tcp_allowed_congestion_control are the only sysctls in ipv4_net_table (the per-netns sysctl table) with a NULL data pointer; their handlers (proc_tcp_available_congestion_control and proc_allowed_congestion_control) have no other way of referencing a struct net. Thus, they operate globally. Because ipv4_net_table does not use designated initializers, there is no easy way to fix up this one "bad" table entry. However, the data pointer updating logic shouldn't be applied to NULL pointers anyway, so we instead force these entries to be read-only. These sysctls used to exist in ipv4_table (init-net only), but they were moved to the per-net ipv4_net_table, presumably without realizing that tcp_allowed_congestion_control was writable and thus introduced a leak. Because the intent of that commit was only to know (i.e. read) "which congestion algorithms are available or allowed", this read-only solution should be sufficient. The logic added in recent commit 31c4d2f160eb: ("net: Ensure net namespace isolation of sysctls") does not and cannot check for NULL data pointers, because other table entries (e.g. /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/) have .data=NULL but use other methods (.extra2) to access the struct net.
