Two frag-transfer helpers (__pskb_copy_fclone() and skb_shift()) fail
to propagate the SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG bit in skb_shinfo()->flags when
moving frags from source to destination. __pskb_copy_fclone() defers
the rest of the shinfo metadata to skb_copy_header() after copying
frag descriptors, but that helper only carries over gso_{size,segs,
type} and never touches skb_shinfo()->flags; skb_shift() moves frag
descriptors directly and leaves flags untouched. As a result, the
destination skb keeps a reference to the same externally-owned or
page-cache-backed pages while reporting skb_has_shared_frag() as
false.
The mismatch is harmful in any in-place writer that uses
skb_has_shared_frag() to decide whether shared pages must be detoured
through skb_cow_data(). ESP input is one such writer (esp4.c,
esp6.c), and a single nft 'dup to <local>' rule -- or any other
nf_dup_ipv4() / xt_TEE caller -- is enough to land a pskb_copy()'d
skb in esp_input() with the marker stripped, letting an unprivileged
user write into the page cache of a root-owned read-only file via
authencesn-ESN stray writes.
Set SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG on the destination whenever frag descriptors
were actually moved from the source. skb_copy() and skb_copy_expand()
share skb_copy_header() too but linearize all paged data into freshly
allocated head storage and emerge with nr_frags == 0, so
skb_has_shared_frag() returns false on its own; they need no change.
The same omission exists in skb_gro_receive() and skb_gro_receive_list().
The former moves the incoming skb's frag descriptors into the
accumulator's last sub-skb via two paths (a direct frag-move loop and
the head_frag + memcpy path); the latter chains the incoming skb whole
onto p's frag_list. Downstream skb_segment() reads only
skb_shinfo(p)->flags, and skb_segment_list() reuses each sub-skb's
shinfo as the nskb -- both p and lp must carry the marker.
The same omission also exists in tcp_clone_payload(), which builds an
MTU probe skb by moving frag descriptors from skbs on sk_write_queue
into a freshly allocated nskb. The helper falls into the same family
and warrants the same fix for consistency; no TCP TX-side in-place
writer is currently known to reach a user page through this gap, but
a future consumer depending on the marker would regress silently.
The same omission exists in skb_segment(): the per-iteration flag
merge takes only head_skb's flag, and the inner switch that rebinds
frag_skb to list_skb on head_skb-frags exhaustion does not fold the
new frag_skb's flag into nskb. Fold frag_skb's flag at both sites
so segments drawing frags from frag_list members carry the marker.

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.

Use struct_group() to group the three fields in tcp_out_options that are
read unconditionally by tcp_options_write() and bpf_skops_write_hdr_opt()
(mss, bpf_opt_len, num_sack_blocks), then replace the full-struct memset
with a targeted memset of only that group.
struct tcp_out_options is 40 bytes without MPTCP and 96 bytes with
CONFIG_MPTCP=y (typical distro config). Every remaining field is either
assigned before first use by tcp_established_options()/tcp_syn_options(),
or gated behind its OPTION_* flag in tcp_options_write(). This memset
runs on every transmitted TCP packet, so shrinking it from 96 (or 40)
bytes to 4 bytes reduces per-packet overhead on the hot path.
Assembly comparison (x86-64, GCC 13, CONFIG_MPTCP=y):
Before: rep stos zeroing 96 bytes (5 instructions, 12 8-byte stores)
After: movl $0x0 zeroing 4 bytes (1 instruction, 1 store)
Also add opts->options = 0 at the top of tcp_syn_options(), which
already used |= without a prior clear. tcp_established_options() already
clears opts->options at its top.

For Accurate ECN, the first SYN/ACK sent by the TCP server shall set
the ACE flag (Table 1 of RFC9768) and the AccECN option to complete the
capability negotiation. However, if the TCP server needs to retransmit
such a SYN/ACK (for example, because it did not receive an ACK
acknowledging its SYN/ACK, or received a second SYN requesting AccECN
support), the TCP server retransmits the SYN/ACK without the AccECN
option. This is because the SYN/ACK may be lost due to congestion, or a
middlebox may block the AccECN option. Furthermore, if this retransmission
also times out, to expedite connection establishment, the TCP server
should retransmit the SYN/ACK with (AE,CWR,ECE) = (0,0,0) and without the
AccECN option, while maintaining AccECN feedback mode.

Some protocols (e.g., TCP, UDP) implement memory accounting for socket
buffers and charge memory to per-protocol global counters pointed to by
sk->sk_proto->memory_allocated.
Sometimes, system processes do not want that limitation. For a similar
purpose, there is SO_RESERVE_MEM for sockets under memcg.
Also, by opting out of the per-protocol accounting, sockets under memcg
can avoid paying costs for two orthogonal memory accounting mechanisms.
A microbenchmark result is in the subsequent bpf patch.
Let's allow opt-out from the per-protocol memory accounting if
sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem is true.
sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem and sk->sk_prot are placed in the same cache
line, and sk_has_account() always fetches sk->sk_prot before accessing
sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem, so there is no extra cache miss for this patch.
The following patches will set sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem to true, and
then, the per-protocol memory accounting will be skipped.
Note that this does NOT disable memcg, but rather the per-protocol one.
Another option not to use the hole in struct sock_common is create
sk_prot variants like tcp_prot_bypass, but this would complicate
SOCKMAP logic, tcp_bpf_prots etc.

it highlighted two kernel bugs.
The following heuristic in tcp_tso_should_defer() seems wrong
for large RTT:
delta = tp->tcp_clock_cache - head->tstamp;
/* If next ACK is likely to come too late (half srtt), do not defer */
if ((s64)(delta - (u64)NSEC_PER_USEC * (tp->srtt_us >> 4)) < 0)
goto send_now;
If next ACK is expected to come in more than 1 ms, we should
not defer because we prefer a smooth ACK clocking.
While blamed commit was a step in the good direction, it was not
generic enough.
Another patch fixing TCP_TX_DELAY for established flows
will be proposed when net-next reopens.

Add validation points and state propagation to support PSP key
exchange inline, on TCP connections. The expectation is that
application will use some well established mechanism like TLS
handshake to establish a secure channel over the connection and
if both endpoints are PSP-capable - exchange and install PSP keys.
Because the connection can existing in PSP-unsecured and PSP-secured
state we need to make sure that there are no race conditions or
retransmission leaks.
On Tx - mark packets with the skb->decrypted bit when PSP key
is at the enqueue time. Drivers should only encrypt packets with
this bit set. This prevents retransmissions getting encrypted when
original transmission was not. Similarly to TLS, we'll use
sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb to make sure PSP skbs can't "escape"
via a PSP-unaware device without being encrypted.
On Rx - validation is done under socket lock. This moves the validation
point later than xfrm, for example. Please see the documentation patch
for more details on the flow of securing a connection, but for
the purpose of this patch what's important is that we want to
enforce the invariant that once connection is secured any skb
in the receive queue has been encrypted with PSP.
Add GRO and coalescing checks to prevent PSP authenticated data from
being combined with cleartext data, or data with non-matching PSP
state. On Rx, check skb's with psp_skb_coalesce_diff() at points
before psp_sk_rx_policy_check(). After skb's are policy checked and on
the socket receive queue, skb_cmp_decrypted() is sufficient for
checking for coalescable PSP state. On Tx, tcp_write_collapse_fence()
should be called when transitioning a socket into PSP Tx state to
prevent data sent as cleartext from being coalesced with PSP
encapsulated data.
This change only adds the validation points, for ease of review.
Subsequent change will add the ability to install keys, and flesh
the enforcement logic out

As SACK blocks tend to eat all option space when there are
many holes, it is useful to compromise on sending many SACK
blocks in every ACK and attempt to fit the AccECN option
there by reducing the number of SACK blocks. However, it will
never go below two SACK blocks because of the AccECN option.
As the AccECN option is often not put to every ACK, the space
hijack is usually only temporary. Depending on the reuqired
AccECN fields (can be either 3, 2, 1, or 0, cf. Table 5 in
AccECN spec) and the NOPs used for alignment of other
TCP options, up to two SACK blocks will be reduced. Please
find below tables for more details:

- From the 2nd retransmitted SYN, stop AccECN negotiation
- Remove option from SYN/ACK rexmits to handle blackholes
- If no option arrives in SYN/ACK, assume Option is not usable
- If an option arrives later, re-enabled
- If option is zeroed, disable AccECN option processing

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

1) Don't early return when sack doesn't fit. AccECN code will be
placed after this fragment so no early returns please.
2) Make sure opts->num_sack_blocks is not left undefined. E.g.,
tcp_current_mss() does not memset its opts struct to zero.
AccECN code checks if SACK option is present and may even
alter it to make room for AccECN option when many SACK blocks
are present. Thus, num_sack_blocks needs to be always valid.

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.

We will store a flag in the lowest bit of sk->sk_memcg.
Then, we cannot pass the raw pointer to mem_cgroup_charge_skmem()
and mem_cgroup_uncharge_skmem().
Let's pass struct sock to the functions.
While at it, they are renamed to match other functions starting
with mem_cgroup_sk_.

Background
==========
When TCP retransmits a packet due to missing ACKs, the
retransmission may fail for various reasons (e.g., packets
stuck in driver queues, receiver zero windows, or routing issues).
The original tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint:
'commit e086101b15 ("tcp: add a tracepoint for tcp retransmission")'
lacks visibility into these failure causes, making production
diagnostics difficult.
Solution
========
Adds the retval("err") to the tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint.
Enables users to know why some tcp retransmission failed and
users can filter retransmission failures by retval.
Compatibility description
=========================
This patch extends the tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint
by adding a new "err" field at the end of its
existing structure (within TP_STRUCT__entry). The
compatibility implications are detailed as follows:
1) Structural compatibility for legacy user-space tools
Legacy tools/BPF programs accessing existing fields
(by offset or name) can still work without modification
or recompilation.The new field is appended to the end,
preserving original memory layout.
2) Note: semantic changes
The original tracepoint primarily only focused on
successfully retransmitted packets. With this patch,
the tracepoint now can figure out packets that may
terminate early due to specific reasons. For accurate
statistics, users should filter using "err" to
distinguish outcomes.

The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws. To
replace tasklets, BH workqueue support was recently added. A BH workqueue
behaves similarly to regular workqueues except that the queued work items
are executed in the BH context.
This patch converts TCP Small Queues implementation from tasklet to BH
workqueue.
Semantically, this is an equivalent conversion and there shouldn't be any
user-visible behavior changes. While workqueue's queueing and execution
paths are a bit heavier than tasklet's, unless the work item is being queued
every packet, the difference hopefully shouldn't matter.
My experience with the networking stack is very limited and this patch
definitely needs attention from someone who actually understands networking.

Now that obsolete RFC3517/RFC6675 TCP loss detection has been removed,
we can remove the somewhat complex and intrusive code to maintain its
hint state: lost_skb_hint and lost_cnt_hint.
This commit makes tcp_clear_retrans_hints_partial() empty. We will
remove tcp_clear_retrans_hints_partial() and its call sites in the
next commit.
