Currently in the TCP code, the initialization sequence for cached
metrics, congestion control, BPF, etc, after successful connection
is very inconsistent. This introduces inconsistent bevhavior and is
prone to bugs. The current call sequence is as follows:
(1) for active case (tcp_finish_connect() case):
tcp_mtup_init(sk);
icsk->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(sk);
tcp_init_metrics(sk);
tcp_call_bpf(sk, BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);
tcp_init_congestion_control(sk);
tcp_init_buffer_space(sk);
(2) for passive case (tcp_rcv_state_process() TCP_SYN_RECV case):
icsk->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(sk);
tcp_call_bpf(sk, BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);
tcp_init_congestion_control(sk);
tcp_mtup_init(sk);
tcp_init_buffer_space(sk);
tcp_init_metrics(sk);
(3) for TFO passive case (tcp_fastopen_create_child()):
inet_csk(child)->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(child);
tcp_init_congestion_control(child);
tcp_mtup_init(child);
tcp_init_metrics(child);
tcp_call_bpf(child, BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);
tcp_init_buffer_space(child);
This commit uniforms the above functions to have the following sequence:
tcp_mtup_init(sk);
icsk->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(sk);
tcp_init_metrics(sk);
tcp_call_bpf(sk, BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE/PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);
tcp_init_congestion_control(sk);
tcp_init_buffer_space(sk);
This sequence is the same as the (1) active case. We pick this sequence
because this order correctly allows BPF to override the settings
including congestion control module and initial cwnd, etc from
the route, and then allows the CC module to see those settings.

skb->rbnode shares space with skb->next, skb->prev and skb->tstamp
Current uses (TCP receive ofo queue and netem) need to save/restore
tstamp, while skb->dev is either NULL (TCP) or a constant for a given
queue (netem).
Since we plan using an RB tree for TCP retransmit queue to speedup SACK
processing with large BDP, this patch exchanges skb->dev and
skb->tstamp.
This saves some overhead in both TCP and netem.

45f119bf93 tcp: remove header prediction
In typical RPC (TCP_RR), when a TCP socket receives data, we now call
tcp_ack() while we used to not call it.
This touches enough cache lines to cause a slowdown.
so problem does not seem to be HP removal itself but the tcp_ack()
call. Therefore, it might be possible to remove HP after all, provided
one finds a way to elide tcp_ack for most cases.

Florian reported UDP xmit drops that could be root caused to the
too small neigh limit.
Current limit is 64 KB, meaning that even a single UDP socket would hit
it, since its default sk_sndbuf comes from net.core.wmem_default
(~212992 bytes on 64bit arches).
Once ARP/ND resolution is in progress, we should allow a little more
packets to be queued, at least for one producer.
Once neigh arp_queue is filled, a rogue socket should hit its sk_sndbuf
limit and either block in sendmsg() or return -EAGAIN.

When SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is enabled for tcp sockets, return the

Previously the skb->tstamp is overwritten when a TCP packet is placed
in the out of order queue. While the packet is in the ooo queue, save the
timestamp in the TCB_SKB_CB. This space is shared with the gso_*
options which are only used on the tx path, and a previously unused 4

When skbs are coalesced either in the sk_receive_queue or the

maintain the invariant of returning the timestamp of the last byte in

In some situations tcp_send_loss_probe() can realize that it's unable
to send a loss probe (TLP), and falls back to calling tcp_rearm_rto()
to schedule an RTO timer. In such cases, sometimes tcp_rearm_rto()
realizes that the RTO was eligible to fire immediately or at some
point in the past (delta_us <= 0). Previously in such cases
tcp_rearm_rto() was scheduling such "overdue" RTOs to happen at now +
icsk_rto, which caused needless delays of hundreds of milliseconds
(and non-linear behavior that made reproducible testing
difficult). This commit changes the logic to schedule "overdue" RTOs
ASAP, rather than at now + icsk_rto.

Fix a TCP loss recovery performance bug raised recently on the netdev
list, in two threads:
(i) July 26, 2017: netdev thread "TCP fast retransmit issues"
(ii) July 26, 2017: netdev thread:
"[PATCH V2 net-next] TLP: Don't reschedule PTO when there's one
outstanding TLP retransmission"
The basic problem is that incoming TCP packets that did not indicate
forward progress could cause the xmit timer (TLP or RTO) to be rearmed
and pushed back in time. In certain corner cases this could result in
the following problems noted in these threads:
- Repeated ACKs coming in with bogus SACKs corrupted by middleboxes
could cause TCP to repeatedly schedule TLPs forever. We kept
sending TLPs after every ~200ms, which elicited bogus SACKs, which
caused more TLPs, ad infinitum; we never fired an RTO to fill in
the holes.
- Incoming data segments could, in some cases, cause us to reschedule
our RTO or TLP timer further out in time, for no good reason. This
could cause repeated inbound data to result in stalls in outbound
data, in the presence of packet loss.
This commit fixes these bugs by changing the TLP and RTO ACK
processing to:
(a) Only reschedule the xmit timer once per ACK.
(b) Only reschedule the xmit timer if tcp_clean_rtx_queue() deems the
ACK indicates sufficient forward progress (a packet was
cumulatively ACKed, or we got a SACK for a packet that was sent
before the most recent retransmit of the write queue head).
This brings us back into closer compliance with the RFCs, since, as
the comment for tcp_rearm_rto() notes, we should only restart the RTO
timer after forward progress on the connection. Previously we were
restarting the xmit timer even in these cases where there was no
forward progress.
As a side benefit, this commit simplifies and speeds up the TCP timer
arming logic. We had been calling inet_csk_reset_xmit_timer() three
times on normal ACKs that cumulatively acknowledged some data:
1) Once near the top of tcp_ack() to switch from TLP timer to RTO:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_LOSS_PROBE)
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);
2) Once in tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), to update the RTO:
if (flag & FLAG_ACKED) {
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);
3) Once in tcp_ack() after tcp_fastretrans_alert() to switch from RTO
to TLP:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_RETRANS)
tcp_schedule_loss_probe(sk);
This commit, by only rescheduling the xmit timer once per ACK,
simplifies the code and reduces CPU overhead.
This commit was tested in an A/B test with Google web server
traffic. SNMP stats and request latency metrics were within noise
levels, substantiating that for normal web traffic patterns this is a
rare issue. This commit was also tested with packetdrill tests to
verify that it fixes the timer behavior in the corner cases discussed
in the netdev threads mentioned above.
This patch is a bug fix patch intended to be queued for -stable
relases.

prequeue is a tcp receive optimization that moves part of rx processing
from bh to process context.
This only works if the socket being processed belongs to a process that
is blocked in recv on that socket.
In practice, this doesn't happen anymore that often because nowadays
servers tend to use an event driven (epoll) model.
Even normal client applications (web browsers) commonly use many tcp
connections in parallel.
This has measureable impact only in netperf (which uses plain recv and
thus allows prequeue use) from host to locally running vm (~4%), however,
there were no changes when using netperf between two physical hosts with

Currently when a data packet is retransmitted, we do not compute an
RTT sample for congestion control due to Kern's check. Therefore the
congestion control that uses RTT signals may not receive any update
during loss recovery which could last many round trips. For example,
BBR and Vegas may not be able to update its min RTT estimation if the
network path has shortened until it recovers from losses. This patch
mitigates that by using TCP timestamp options for RTT measurement
for congestion control. Note that we already use timestamps for
RTT estimation.

<quote>
Linux TCP stack we analyze exhibits behavior that seems odd to me.
The scenario is as follows (all packets have empty payloads, no window
scaling, rcv/snd window size should not be a factor):
TEST HARNESS (CLIENT) LINUX SERVER
1. - LISTEN (server listen,
then accepts)
2. - --> <SEQ=100><CTL=SYN> --> SYN-RECEIVED
3. - <-- <SEQ=300><ACK=101><CTL=SYN,ACK> <-- SYN-RECEIVED
4. - --> <SEQ=101><ACK=301><CTL=ACK> --> ESTABLISHED
5. - <-- <SEQ=301><ACK=101><CTL=FIN,ACK> <-- FIN WAIT-1 (server
opts to close the data connection calling "close" on the connection
socket)
6. - --> <SEQ=101><ACK=99999><CTL=FIN,ACK> --> CLOSING (client sends
FIN,ACK with not yet sent acknowledgement number)
7. - <-- <SEQ=302><ACK=102><CTL=ACK> <-- CLOSING (ACK is 102
instead of 101, why?)
... (silence from CLIENT)
8. - <-- <SEQ=301><ACK=102><CTL=FIN,ACK> <-- CLOSING
(retransmission, again ACK is 102)
Now, note that packet 6 while having the expected sequence number,
acknowledges something that wasn't sent by the server. So I would
expect
the packet to maybe prompt an ACK response from the server, and then be
ignored. Yet it is not ignored and actually leads to an increase of the
acknowledgement number in the server's retransmission of the FIN,ACK
packet. The explanation I found is that the FIN in packet 6 was
processed, despite the acknowledgement number being unacceptable.
Further experiments indeed show that the server processes this FIN,
transitioning to CLOSING, then on receiving an ACK for the FIN it had
send in packet 5, the server (or better said connection) transitions
from CLOSING to TIME_WAIT (as signaled by netstat).
</quote>
Indeed, tcp_rcv_state_process() calls tcp_ack() but
does not exploit the @acceptable status but for TCP_SYN_RECV
state.
What we want here is to send a challenge ACK, if not in TCP_SYN_RECV
state. TCP_FIN_WAIT1 state is not the only state we should fix.
Add a FLAG_NO_CHALLENGE_ACK so that tcp_rcv_state_process()
can choose to send a challenge ACK and discard the packet instead
of wrongly change socket state.

than 4ms or 10ms (HZ=250 or HZ=100 respectively)
For TCP flows in the DC, Google has used usec resolution for more

Receive size autotuning (DRS) is indeed more precise and converges
faster to optimal window size.
This patch converts tp->tcp_mstamp to a plain u64 value storing

This patch fixes a bug in splitting an SKB during SACK
processing. Specifically if an skb contains multiple
packets and is only partially sacked in the higher sequences,
tcp_match_sack_to_skb() splits the skb and marks the second fragment
as SACKed.
The current code further attempts rounding up the first fragment
to MSS boundaries. But it misses a boundary condition when the
rounded-up fragment size (pkt_len) is exactly skb size. Spliting
such an skb is pointless and causses a kernel warning and aborts
the SACK processing. This patch universally checks such over-split
before calling tcp_fragment to prevent these unnecessary warnings.

Whole point of randomization was to hide server uptime, but an attacker
can simply start a syn flood and TCP generates 'old style' timestamps,
directly revealing server jiffies value.
Also, TSval sent by the server to a particular remote address vary
depending on syncookies being sent or not, potentially triggering PAWS
drops for innocent clients.
Lets implement proper randomization, including for SYNcookies.
Also we do not need to export sysctl_tcp_timestamps, since it is not
used from a module.
In v2, I added Florian feedback and contribution, adding tsoff to
tcp_get_cookie_sock().
v3 removed one unused variable in tcp_v4_connect() as Florian spotted.

Some devices or distributions use HZ=100 or HZ=250
TCP receive buffer autotuning has poor behavior caused by this choice.
Since autotuning happens after 4 ms or 10 ms, short distance flows
get their receive buffer tuned to a very high value, but after an initial
period where it was frozen to (too small) initial value.
With tp->tcp_mstamp introduction, we can switch to high resolution
timestamps almost for free (at the expense of 8 additional bytes per
TCP structure)
Note that some TCP stacks use usec TCP timestamps where this
patch makes even more sense : Many TCP flows have < 500 usec RTT.
Hopefully this finer TS option can be standardized soon.

Middlebox firewall issues can potentially cause server's data being
blackholed after a successful 3WHS using TFO. Following are the related
reports from Apple:
https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/Paasch_Network_Support.pdf
Slide 31 identifies an issue where the client ACK to the server's data
sent during a TFO'd handshake is dropped.
C ---> syn-data ---> S
C <--- syn/ack ----- S
C (accept & write)
C <---- data ------- S
C ----- ACK -> X S
[retry and timeout]
https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/94/slides/slides-94-tcpm-13.pdf
Slide 5 shows a similar situation that the server's data gets dropped
after 3WHS.
C ---- syn-data ---> S
C <--- syn/ack ----- S
C ---- ack --------> S
S (accept & write)
C? X <- data ------ S
[retry and timeout]
This is the worst failure b/c the client can not detect such behavior to
mitigate the situation (such as disabling TFO). Failing to proceed, the
application (e.g., SSL library) may simply timeout and retry with TFO
again, and the process repeats indefinitely.
The proposed solution is to disable active TFO globally under the
following circumstances:
1. client side TFO socket detects out of order FIN
2. client side TFO socket receives out of order RST
We disable active side TFO globally for 1hr at first. Then if it
happens again, we disable it for 2h, then 4h, 8h, ...
And we reset the timeout to 1hr if a client side TFO sockets not opened
on loopback has successfully received data segs from server.
And we examine this condition during close().
The rational behind it is that when such firewall issue happens,
application running on the client should eventually close the socket as
it is not able to get the data it is expecting. Or application running
on the server should close the socket as it is not able to receive any
response from client.
In both cases, out of order FIN or RST will get received on the client
given that the firewall will not block them as no data are in those
frames.
And we want to disable active TFO globally as it helps if the middle box
is very close to the client and most of the connections are likely to
fail.
Also, add a debug sysctl:
tcp_fastopen_blackhole_detect_timeout_sec:
the initial timeout to use when firewall blackhole issue happens.
This can be set and read.
When setting it to 0, it means to disable the active disable logic.

The recent extension of F-RTO 89fe18e44 ("tcp: extend F-RTO
to catch more spurious timeouts") interacts badly with certain
broken middle-boxes. These broken boxes modify and falsely raise
the receive window on the ACKs. During a timeout induced recovery,
F-RTO would send new data packets to probe if the timeout is false
or not. Since the receive window is falsely raised, the receiver
would silently drop these F-RTO packets. The recovery would take N
(exponentially backoff) timeouts to repair N packet losses. A TCP
performance killer.
Due to this unfortunate situation, this patch removes this extension
to revert F-RTO back to the RFC specification.

Currently the reordering SNMP counters only increase if a connection
sees a higher degree then it has previously seen. It ignores if the
reordering degree is not greater than the default system threshold.
This significantly under-counts the number of reordering events
and falsely convey that reordering is rare on the network.
This patch properly and faithfully records the number of reordering
events detected by the TCP stack, just like the comment says "this
exciting event is worth to be remembered". Note that even so TCP
still under-estimate the actual reordering events because TCP
requires TS options or certain packet sequences to detect reordering
(i.e. ACKing never-retransmitted sequence in recovery or disordered
state).

Markus Trippelsdorf reported that after commit dcb17d22e1 ("tcp: warn
on bogus MSS and try to amend it") the kernel started logging the
warning for a NIC driver that doesn't even support GRO.
It was diagnosed that it was possibly caused on connections that were
using TCP Timestamps but some packets lacked the Timestamps option. As
we reduce rcv_mss when timestamps are used, the lack of them would cause
the packets to be bigger than expected, although this is a valid case.
As this warning is more as a hint, getting a clean-cut on the
threshold is probably not worth the execution time spent on it. This
patch thus alleviates the false-positives with 2 quick checks: by
accounting for the entire TCP option space and also checking against the
interface MTU if it's available.
These changes, specially the MTU one, might mask some real positives,
though if they are really happening, it's possible that sooner or later
it will be triggered anyway.

tcp_add_backlog() can use skb_condense() helper to get better
gains and less SKB_TRUESIZE() magic. This only happens when socket
backlog has to be used.
Some attacks involve specially crafted out of order tiny TCP packets,
clogging the ofo queue of (many) sockets.
Then later, expensive collapse happens, trying to copy all these skbs
into single ones.
This unfortunately does not work if each skb has no neighbor in TCP
sequence order.
By using skb_condense() if the skb could not be coalesced to a prior
one, we defeat these kind of threats, potentially saving 4K per skb
(or more, since this is one page fragment).
A typical NAPI driver allocates gro packets with GRO_MAX_HEAD bytes
in skb->head, meaning the copy done by skb_condense() is limited to
about 200 bytes.

Using a Mac OSX box as a client connecting to a Linux server, we have found
that when certain applications (such as 'ab'), are abruptly terminated
(via ^C), a FIN is sent followed by a RST packet on tcp connections. The
FIN is accepted by the Linux stack but the RST is sent with the same
sequence number as the FIN, and Linux responds with a challenge ACK per
RFC 5961. The OSX client then sometimes (they are rate-limited) does not
reply with any RST as would be expected on a closed socket.
This results in sockets accumulating on the Linux server left mostly in
the CLOSE_WAIT state, although LAST_ACK and CLOSING are also possible.
This sequence of events can tie up a lot of resources on the Linux server
since there may be a lot of data in write buffers at the time of the RST.
Accepting a RST equal to rcv_nxt - 1, after we have already successfully
processed a FIN, has made a significant difference for us in practice, by
freeing up unneeded resources in a more expedient fashion.

This patch disables FACK by default as RACK is the successor of FACK
(inspired by the insights behind FACK).
FACK[1] in Linux works as follows: a packet P is deemed lost,
if packet Q of higher sequence is s/acked and P and Q are distant
by at least dupthresh number of packets in sequence space.
FACK is more aggressive than the IETF recommened recovery for SACK
(RFC3517 A Conservative Selective Acknowledgment (SACK)-based Loss
Recovery Algorithm for TCP), because a single SACK may trigger
fast recovery. This obviously won't work well with reordering so
FACK is dynamically disabled upon detecting reordering.
RACK supersedes FACK by using time distance instead of sequence
distance. On reordering, RACK waits for a quarter of RTT receiving
a single SACK before starting recovery. (the timer can be made more
adaptive in the future by measuring reordering distance in time,
but currently RTT/4 seem to work well.) Once the recovery starts,
RACK behaves almost like FACK because it reduces the reodering
window to 1ms, so it fast retransmits quickly. In addition RACK
can detect loss retransmission as it does not care about the packet
sequences (being repeated or not), which is extremely useful when
the connection is going through a traffic policer.
Google server experiments indicate that disabling FACK after enabling
RACK has negligible impact on the overall loss recovery performance
with more reordering events detected. But we still keep the FACK
implementation for backup if RACK has bugs that needs to be disabled.

Thin stream DUPACK is to start fast recovery on only one DUPACK
provided the connection is a thin stream (i.e., low inflight). But
this older feature is now subsumed with RACK. If a connection
receives only a single DUPACK, RACK would arm a reordering timer
and soon starts fast recovery instead of timeout if no further
ACKs are received.
The socket option (THIN_DUPACK) is kept as a nop for compatibility.
Note that this patch does not change another thin-stream feature
which enables linear RTO. Although it might be good to generalize
that in the future (i.e., linear RTO for the first say 3 retries).

This patch removes the (partial) implementation of the aggressive
limited transmit in RFC4653 TCP Non-Congestion Robustness (NCR).
NCR is a mitigation to the problem created by the dynamic
DUPACK threshold. With the current adaptive DUPACK threshold
(tp->reordering) could cause timeouts by preventing fast recovery.
For example, if the last packet of a cwnd burst was reordered, the
threshold will be set to the size of cwnd. But if next application
burst is smaller than threshold and has drops instead of reorderings,
the sender would not trigger fast recovery but instead resorts to a
timeout recovery.
NCR mitigates this issue by checking the number of DUPACKs against
the current flight size additionally. The techniqueue is similar to
the early retransmit RFC.
With RACK loss detection, this mitigation is not needed, because RACK
does not use DUPACK threshold to detect losses. RACK arms a reordering
timer to fire at most a quarter RTT later to start fast recovery.

Forward retransmit is an esoteric feature in RFC3517 (condition(3)
in the NextSeg()). Basically if a packet is not considered lost by
the current criteria (# of dupacks etc), but the congestion window
has room for more packets, then retransmit this packet.
However it actually conflicts with the rest of recovery design. For
example, when reordering is detected we want to be conservative
in retransmitting packets but forward-retransmit feature would
break that to force more retransmission. Also the implementation is
fairly complicated inside the retransmission logic inducing extra
iterations in the write queue. With RACK losses are being detected
timely and this heuristic is no longer necessary. There this patch
removes the feature.

2. Disable TCP early retransmit. RACK subsumes the early retransmit
with the new reordering timer feature. A latter patch in this
series removes the early retransmit code.

Currently RACK would mark loss before the undo operations in TCP
loss recovery. This could incorrectly identify real losses as
spurious. For example a sender first experiences a delay spike and
then eventually some packets were lost due to buffer overrun.
In this case, the sender should perform fast recovery b/c not all
the packets were lost.
But the sender may first trigger a (spurious) RTO and reset
cwnd to 1. The following ACKs may used to mark real losses by
tcp_rack_mark_lost. Then in tcp_process_loss this ACK could trigger
F-RTO undo condition and unmark real losses and revert the cwnd
reduction. If there are no more ACKs coming back, eventually the
sender would timeout again instead of performing fast recovery.
The patch fixes this incorrect process by always performing
the undo checks before detecting losses.

The packets inside a jumbo skb (e.g., TSO) share the same skb
timestamp, even though they are sent sequentially on the wire. Since
RACK is based on time, it can not detect some packets inside the
same skb are lost. However, we can leverage the packet sequence
numbers as extended timestamps to detect losses. Therefore, when
RACK timestamp is identical to skb's timestamp (i.e., one of the
packets of the skb is acked or sacked), we use the sequence numbers
of the acked and unacked packets to break ties.
We can use the same sequence logic to advance RACK xmit time as
well to detect more losses and avoid timeout.

This patch makes RACK install a reordering timer when it suspects
some packets might be lost, but wants to delay the decision
a little bit to accomodate reordering.
It does not create a new timer but instead repurposes the existing
RTO timer, because both are meant to retransmit packets.
Specifically it arms a timer ICSK_TIME_REO_TIMEOUT when
the RACK timing check fails. The wait time is set to
RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd - (NOW - Packet.xmit_time) + fudge
This translates to expecting a packet (Packet) should take
(RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd + fudge) to deliver after it was sent.
When there are multiple packets that need a timer, we use one timer
with the maximum timeout. Therefore the timer conservatively uses
the maximum window to expire N packets by one timeout, instead of
N timeouts to expire N packets sent at different times.
The fudge factor is 2 jiffies to ensure when the timer fires, all
the suspected packets would exceed the deadline and be marked lost
by tcp_rack_detect_loss(). It has to be at least 1 jiffy because the
clock may tick between calling icsk_reset_xmit_timer(timeout) and
actually hang the timer. The next jiffy is to lower-bound the timeout
to 2 jiffies when reo_wnd is < 1ms.
When the reordering timer fires (tcp_rack_reo_timeout): If we aren't
in Recovery we'll enter fast recovery and force fast retransmit.
This is very similar to the early retransmit (RFC5827) except RACK
is not constrained to only enter recovery for small outstanding
flights.

Record the most recent RTT in RACK. It is often identical to the
"ca_rtt_us" values in tcp_clean_rtx_queue. But when the packet has
been retransmitted, RACK choses to believe the ACK is for the
(latest) retransmitted packet if the RTT is over minimum RTT.
This requires passing the arrival time of the most recent ACK to
RACK routines. The timestamp is now recorded in the "ack_time"
in tcp_sacktag_state during the ACK processing.
This patch does not change the RACK algorithm itself. It only adds
the RTT variable to prepare the next main patch.

There have been some reports lately about TCP connection stalls caused
by NIC drivers that aren't setting gso_size on aggregated packets on rx
path. This causes TCP to assume that the MSS is actually the size of the
aggregated packet, which is invalid.
Although the proper fix is to be done at each driver, it's often hard
and cumbersome for one to debug, come to such root cause and report/fix
it.
This patch amends this situation in two ways. First, it adds a warning
on when this situation occurs, so it gives a hint to those trying to
debug this. It also limit the maximum probed MSS to the adverised MSS,
as it should never be any higher than that.
The result is that the connection may not have the best performance ever
but it shouldn't stall, and the admin will have a hint on what to look
for.
Tested with virtio by forcing gso_size to 0.
v2: updated msg per David's suggestion
v3: use skb_iif to find the interface and also log its name, per Eric
Dumazet's suggestion. As the skb may be backlogged and the interface
gone by then, we need to check if the number still has a meaning.
v4: use helper tcp_gro_dev_warn() and avoid pr_warn_once inside __once, per
David's suggestion

Eric says: "By looking at tcpdump, and TS val of xmit packets of multiple
flows, we can deduct the relative qdisc delays (think of fq pacing).
This should work even if we have one flow per remote peer."
Having random per flow (or host) offsets doesn't allow that anymore so add
a way to turn this off.

jiffies based timestamps allow for easy inference of number of devices
behind NAT translators and also makes tracking of hosts simpler.
commit ceaa1fef65 ("tcp: adding a per-socket timestamp offset")
added the main infrastructure that is needed for per-connection ts
randomization, in particular writing/reading the on-wire tcp header
format takes the offset into account so rest of stack can use normal
tcp_time_stamp (jiffies).
So only two items are left:
- add a tsoffset for request sockets
- extend the tcp isn generator to also return another 32bit number
in addition to the ISN.
Re-use of ISN generator also means timestamps are still monotonically
increasing for same connection quadruple, i.e. PAWS will still work.
Includes fixes from Eric Dumazet.

This patch measures the amount of time when TCP runs out of new data
to send to the network due to insufficient send buffer, while TCP
is still busy delivering (i.e. write queue is not empty). The goal
is to indicate either the send buffer autotuning or user SO_SNDBUF
setting has resulted network under-utilization.
The measurement starts conservatively by checking various conditions
to minimize false claims (i.e. under-estimation is more likely).
The measurement stops when the SOCK_NOSPACE flag is cleared. But it
does not account the time elapsed till the next application write.
Also the measurement only starts if the sender is still busy sending
data, s.t. the limit accounted is part of the total busy time.

This patch measures TCP busy time, which is defined as the period
of time when sender has data (or FIN) to send. The time starts when
data is buffered and stops when the write queue is flushed by ACKs
or error events.
Note the busy time does not include SYN time, unless data is
included in SYN (i.e. Fast Open). It does include FIN time even
if the FIN carries no payload. Excluding pure FIN is possible but
would incur one additional test in the fast path, which may not
be worth it.

The undo_cwnd fallback in the stack doubles cwnd based on ssthresh,
which un-does reno halving behaviour.
It seems more appropriate to let congctl algorithms pair .ssthresh
and .undo_cwnd properly. Add a 'tcp_reno_undo_cwnd' function and wire it
up for all congestion algorithms that used to rely on the fallback.

We had various problems in the past in tcp_get_info() and used
specific synchronization to avoid deadlocks.
We would like to add more instrumentation points for TCP, and
avoiding grabing socket lock in tcp_getinfo() was too costly.
Being able to lock the socket allows to provide consistent set
of fields.
inet_diag_dump_icsk() can make sure ehash locks are not
held any more when tcp_get_info() is called.
We can remove syncp added in commit d654976cbf
("tcp: fix a potential deadlock in tcp_get_info()"), but we need
to use lock_sock_fast() instead of spin_lock_bh() since TCP input
path can now be run from process context.

Per listen(fd, backlog) rules, there is really no point accepting a SYN,
sending a SYNACK, and dropping the following ACK packet if accept queue
is full, because application is not draining accept queue fast enough.
This behavior is fooling TCP clients that believe they established a
flow, while there is nothing at server side. They might then send about
10 MSS (if using IW10) that will be dropped anyway while server is under
stress.
