By default, the Linux TCP implementation does not shrink the
advertised window (RFC 7323 calls this "window retraction") with the
following exceptions:
- When an incoming segment cannot be added due to the receive buffer
running out of memory. Since commit 8c670bdfa5 ("tcp: correct
handling of extreme memory squeeze") a zero window will be
advertised in this case. It turns out that reaching the required
memory pressure is easy when window scaling is in use. In the
simplest case, sending a sufficient number of segments smaller than
the scale factor to a receiver that does not read data is enough.
- Commit b650d953cd ("tcp: enforce receive buffer memory limits by
allowing the tcp window to shrink") addressed the "eating memory"
problem by introducing a sysctl knob that allows shrinking the
window before running out of memory.
However, RFC 7323 does not only state that shrinking the window is
necessary in some cases, it also formulates requirements for TCP
implementations when doing so (Section 2.4).
This commit addresses the receiver-side requirements: After retracting
the window, the peer may have a snd_nxt that lies within a previously
advertised window but is now beyond the retracted window. This means
that all incoming segments (including pure ACKs) will be rejected
until the application happens to read enough data to let the peer's
snd_nxt be in window again (which may be never).
To comply with RFC 7323, the receiver MUST honor any segment that
would have been in window for any ACK sent by the receiver and, when
window scaling is in effect, SHOULD track the maximum window sequence
number it has advertised. This patch tracks that maximum window
sequence number rcv_mwnd_seq throughout the connection and uses it in
tcp_sequence() when deciding whether a segment is acceptable.
rcv_mwnd_seq is updated together with rcv_wup and rcv_wnd in
tcp_select_window(). If we count tcp_sequence() as fast path, it is
read in the fast path. Therefore, rcv_mwnd_seq is put into rcv_wnd's
cacheline group.
The logic for handling received data in tcp_data_queue() is already
sufficient and does not need to be updated.

With the current port selection algorithm, ports after a reserved port
range or long time used port are used more often than others [1]. This
causes an uneven port usage distribution. This combines with cloud
environments blocking connections between the application server and the
database server if there was a previous connection with the same source
port, leading to connectivity problems between applications on cloud
environments.
The real issue here is that these firewalls cannot cope with
standards-compliant port reuse. This is a workaround for such situations
and an improvement on the distribution of ports selected.
The proposed solution is to implement a variant of RFC 6056 Algorithm 5.
The step size is selected randomly on every connect() call ensuring it
is a coprime with respect to the size of the range of ports we want to
scan. This way, we can ensure that all ports within the range are
scanned before returning an error. To enable this algorithm, the user
must configure the new sysctl option "net.ipv4.ip_local_port_step_width".
In addition, on graphs generated we can observe that the distribution of
source ports is more even with the proposed approach. [2]

In {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock, struct ipv6_pinfo is always placed at
the beginning of a new cache line because
1. __alignof__(struct tcp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned

2. __alignof__(struct udp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned

3. in raw6_sock, struct numa_drop_counters is placed before

. struct ipv6_pinfo is 136 bytes, but the last cache line is
only used by ipv6_fl_list:

struct ipv6_fl_socklist * ipv6_fl_list; /* 128 8 */

Let's move ipv6_fl_list from struct ipv6_pinfo to struct inet_sock
to save a full cache line for {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock.
Now, struct ipv6_pinfo is 128 bytes, and {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock have

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.

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. Below are the pahole

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.

This change implements Accurate ECN without negotiation and
AccECN Option (that will be added by later changes). Based on
AccECN specifications:
https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt
Accurate ECN allows feeding back the number of CE (congestion
experienced) marks accurately to the sender in contrast to
RFC3168 ECN that can only signal one marks-seen-yes/no per RTT.
Congestion control algorithms can take advantage of the accurate
ECN information to fine-tune their congestion response to avoid
drastic rate reduction when only mild congestion is encountered.
With Accurate ECN, tp->received_ce (r.cep in AccECN spec) keeps
track of how many segments have arrived with a CE mark. Accurate
ECN uses ACE field (ECE, CWR, AE) to communicate the value back
to the sender which updates tp->delivered_ce (s.cep) based on the
feedback. This signalling channel is lossy when ACE field overflow
occurs.
Conservative strategy is selected here to deal with the ACE
overflow, however, some strategies using the AccECN option later
in the overall patchset mitigate against false overflows detected.
The ACE field values on the wire are offset by
TCP_ACCECN_CEP_INIT_OFFSET. Delivered_ce/received_ce count the
real CE marks rather than forcing all downstream users to adapt
to the wire offset.
This patch uses the first 1-byte hole and the last 4-byte hole of
the tcp_sock_write_txrx for 'received_ce_pending' and 'received_ce'.
Also, the group size of tcp_sock_write_txrx is increased from
91 + 4 to 95 + 4 due to the new u32 received_ce member. Below are
the trimmed pahole outcomes before and after this patch.

Commit cc34acd577 ("docs: net: document new locking reality")
introduced netif_ vs dev_ function semantics: the former expects locked
netdev, the latter takes care of the locking. We don't strictly
follow this semantics on either side, but there are more dev_xxx handlers
now that don't fit. Rename them to netif_xxx where appropriate.
Note that one dev_set_threaded call still remains in mt76 for debugfs file.

netdevice reg_state was split into two 16 bit enums back in 2010
in commit a2835763e1 ("rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink
notifications manually"). Since the split the fields have been
moved apart, and last year we converted reg_state to a normal
u8 in commit 4d42b37def ("net: convert dev->reg_state to u8").
rtnl_link_state being a 16 bitfield makes no sense. Convert it
to a single bool, it seems very unlikely after 15 years that
we'll need more values in it.
We could drop dev->rtnl_link_ops from the conditions but feels
like having it there more clearly points at the reason for this
hack.

Yong-Hao Zou mentioned that linux was not strict as other OS in 3WHS,
for flows using TCP TS option (RFC 7323)
As hinted by an old comment in tcp_check_req(),
we can check the TSEcr value in the incoming packet corresponds
to one of the SYNACK TSval values we have sent.
In this patch, I record the oldest and most recent values
that SYNACK packets have used.
Send a challenge ACK if we receive a TSEcr outside
of this range, and increase a new SNMP counter.
nstat -az | grep TSEcrRejected
TcpExtTSEcrRejected 0 0.0
Due to TCP fastopen implementation, do not apply yet these checks
for fastopen flows.
v2: No longer use req->num_timeout, but treq->snt_tsval_first
to detect when first SYNACK is prepared. This means
we make sure to not send an initial zero TSval.
Make sure MPTCP and TCP selftests are passing.

It is discouraged to change the socket rto max on a live

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.

Add a persistent NAPI config area for NAPI configuration to the core.
Drivers opt-in to setting the persistent config for a NAPI by passing an
index when calling netif_napi_add_config.
napi_config is allocated in alloc_netdev_mqs, freed in free_netdev
(after the NAPIs are deleted).
Drivers which call netif_napi_add_config will have persistent per-NAPI
settings: NAPI IDs, gro_flush_timeout, and defer_hard_irq settings.
Per-NAPI settings are saved in napi_disable and restored in napi_enable.

The wireless-next tree was based on something older, and there
are now conflicts between -rc2 and work here. Merge net-next,
which has enough of -rc2 for the conflicts to happen, resolving
them in the process.

Upcoming per-netns RTNL conversion needs to get rid
of shared hash tables.
fib_info_devhash[] is one of them.
It is unclear why we used a hash table, because
a single hlist_head per net device was cheaper and scalable.

In commit 6f8b12d661 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral feature")
napi_defer_irqs was added to net_device and napi_defer_irqs_count was
added to napi_struct, both as type int.
This value never goes below zero, so there is not reason for it to be a
signed int. Change the type for both from int to u32, and add an
overflow check to sysfs to limit the value to S32_MAX.
The limit of S32_MAX was chosen because the practical limit before this
patch was S32_MAX (anything larger was an overflow) and thus there are
no behavioral changes introduced. If the extra bit is needed in the
future, the limit can be raised.
Before this patch:
$ sudo bash -c 'echo 2147483649 > /sys/class/net/eth4/napi_defer_hard_irqs'
$ cat /sys/class/net/eth4/napi_defer_hard_irqs
-2147483647
After this patch:
$ sudo bash -c 'echo 2147483649 > /sys/class/net/eth4/napi_defer_hard_irqs'
bash: line 0: echo: write error: Numerical result out of range
Similarly, /sys/class/net/XXXXX/tx_queue_len is defined as unsigned:
include/linux/netdevice.h: unsigned int tx_queue_len;
And has an overflow check:
dev_change_tx_queue_len(..., unsigned long new_len):
if (new_len != (unsigned int)new_len)
return -ERANGE;

Ability to handle maximum FCoE frames of 2158 bytes can never be changed
and thus more of an attribute, not a toggleable feature.
Move it from netdev_features_t to "cold" priv flags (bitfield bool) and
free yet another feature bit.

"Interface can't change network namespaces" is rather an attribute,
not a feature, and it can't be changed via Ethtool.
Make it a "cold" private flag instead of a netdev_feature and free
one more bit.

Make dev->priv_flags `u32` back and define bits higher than 31 as
bitfield booleans as per Jakub's suggestion. This simplifies code
which accesses these bits with no optimization loss (testb both
before/after), allows to not extend &netdev_priv_flags each time,
but also scales better as bits > 63 in the future would only add
a new u64 to the structure with no complications, comparing to
that extending ::priv_flags would require converting it to a bitmap.
Note that I picked `unsigned long :1` to not lose any potential
optimizations comparing to `bool :1` etc.

Two fields, page_pools and *irq_moder, were added to struct net_device
in commit 083772c9f9 ("net: page_pool: record pools per netdev") and
commit f750dfe825 ("ethtool: provide customized dim profile
management"), respectively.
Add both to the net_cachelines documentation, as well.
