TCP sender would use congestion window of 1 packet on the second SYN
and SYNACK timeout except passive TCP Fast Open. This makes passive
TFO too aggressive and unfair during congestion at handshake. This
patch fixes this issue so TCP (fast open or not, passive or active)
always conforms to the RFC6298.
Note that tcp_enter_loss() is called only once during recurring
timeouts. This is because during handshake, high_seq and snd_una
are the same so tcp_enter_loss() would incorrect set the undo state
variables multiple times.

Previously when the sender fails to retransmit a data packet on
timeout due to congestion in the local host (e.g. throttling in
qdisc), it'll retry within an RTO up to 500ms.
In low-RTT networks such as data-centers, RTO is often far
below the default minimum 200ms (and the cap 500ms). Then local
host congestion could trigger a retry storm pouring gas to the
fire. Worse yet, the retry counter (icsk_retransmits) is not
properly updated so the aggressive retry may exceed the system
limit (15 rounds) until the packet finally slips through.
On such rare events, it's wise to retry more conservatively (500ms)
and update the stats properly to reflect these incidents and follow
the system limit. Note that this is consistent with the behavior
when a keep-alive probe is dropped due to local congestion.

This patch addresses a corner issue on timeout behavior of a
passive Fast Open socket. A passive Fast Open server may write
and close the socket when it is re-trying SYN-ACK to complete
the handshake. After the handshake is completely, the server does
not properly stamp the recovery start time (tp->retrans_stamp is
0), and the socket may abort immediately on the very first FIN
timeout, instead of retying until it passes the system or user
specified limit.

Previously TCP socket's retrans_stamp is not set if the
retransmission has failed to send. As a result if a socket is
experiencing local issues to retransmit packets, determining when
to abort a socket is complicated w/o knowning the starting time of
the recovery since retrans_stamp may remain zero.
This complication causes sub-optimal behavior that TCP may use the
latest, instead of the first, retransmission time to compute the
elapsed time of a stalling connection due to local issues. Then TCP
may disrecard TCP retries settings and keep retrying until it finally
succeed: not a good idea when the local host is already strained.
The simple fix is to always timestamp the start of a recovery.
It's worth noting that retrans_stamp is also used to compare echo
timestamp values to detect spurious recovery. This patch does
not break that because retrans_stamp is still later than when the
original packet was sent.

Previously upon SYN timeouts the sender recomputes the txhash to
try a different path. However this does not apply on the initial
timeout of SYN-data (active Fast Open). Therefore an active IPv6
Fast Open connection may incur one second RTO penalty to take on
a new path after the second SYN retransmission uses a new flow label.
This patch removes this undesirable behavior so Fast Open changes
the flow label just like the regular connections. This also helps
avoid falsely disabling Fast Open on the sender which triggers
after two consecutive SYN timeouts on Fast Open.

Jean-Louis reported a TCP regression and bisected to recent SACK
compression.
After a loss episode (receiver not able to keep up and dropping
packets because its backlog is full), linux TCP stack is sending
a single SACK (DUPACK).
Sender waits a full RTO timer before recovering losses.
While RFC 6675 says in section 5, "Algorithm Details",
(2) If DupAcks < DupThresh but IsLost (HighACK + 1) returns true --
indicating at least three segments have arrived above the current
cumulative acknowledgment point, which is taken to indicate loss
-- go to step (4).
...
(4) Invoke fast retransmit and enter loss recovery as follows:
there are old TCP stacks not implementing this strategy, and
still counting the dupacks before starting fast retransmit.
While these stacks probably perform poorly when receivers implement
LRO/GRO, we should be a little more gentle to them.
This patch makes sure we do not enable SACK compression unless
3 dupacks have been sent since last rcv_nxt update.
Ideally we should even rearm the timer to send one or two
more DUPACK if no more packets are coming, but that will
be work aiming for linux-4.21.
Many thanks to Jean-Louis for bisecting the issue, providing
packet captures and testing this patch.

When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends
a SACK packet, generating network load but also forcing the
receiver to send 1-MSS pathological packets, increasing its
RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time.
Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally
speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks
are under congestion.
This patch adds a high resolution timer and tp->compressed_ack counter.
Instead of sending a SACK, we program this timer with a small delay,
based on RTT and capped to 1 ms :
delay = min ( 5 % of RTT, 1 ms)
If subsequent SACKs need to be sent while the timer has not yet
expired, we simply increment tp->compressed_ack.
When timer expires, a SACK is sent with the latest information.
Whenever an ACK is sent (if data is sent, or if in-order
data is received) timer is canceled.
Note that tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() is able to force a SACK to be sent
if the sack blocks need to be shuffled, even if the timer has not
expired.
A new SNMP counter is added in the following patch.
Two other patches add sysctls to allow changing the 1,000,000 and 44
values that this commit hard-coded.

When a tcp socket is closed, if it detects that its net namespace is
exiting, close immediately and do not wait for FIN sequence.
For normal sockets, a reference is taken to their net namespace, so it will
never exit while the socket is open. However, kernel sockets do not take a
reference to their net namespace, so it may begin exiting while the kernel
socket is still open. In this case if the kernel socket is a tcp socket,
it will stay open trying to complete its close sequence. The sock's dst(s)
hold a reference to their interface, which are all transferred to the
namespace's loopback interface when the real interfaces are taken down.
When the namespace tries to take down its loopback interface, it hangs
waiting for all references to the loopback interface to release, which
results in messages like:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1
These messages continue until the socket finally times out and closes.
Since the net namespace cleanup holds the net_mutex while calling its
registered pernet callbacks, any new net namespace initialization is
blocked until the current net namespace finishes exiting.
After this change, the tcp socket notices the exiting net namespace, and
closes immediately, releasing its dst(s) and their reference to the
loopback interface, which lets the net namespace continue exiting.

Prior to this patch, active Fast Open is paused on a specific
destination IP address if the previous connections to the
IP address have experienced recurring timeouts . But recent
experiments by Microsoft (https://goo.gl/cykmn7) and Mozilla
browsers indicate the isssue is often caused by broken middle-boxes
sitting close to the client. Therefore it is much better user
experience if Fast Open is disabled out-right globally to avoid
experiencing further timeouts on connections toward other
destinations.
This patch changes the destination-IP disablement to global
disablement if a connection experiencing recurring timeouts
or aborts due to timeout. Repeated incidents would still
exponentially increase the pause time, starting from an hour.
This is extremely conservative but an unfortunate compromise to
minimize bad experience due to broken middle-boxes.

Using a linear list to store all skbs in write queue has been okay
for quite a while : O(N) is not too bad when N < 500.
Things get messy when N is the order of 100,000 : Modern TCP stacks
want 10Gbit+ of throughput even with 200 ms RTT flows.
40 ns per cache line miss means a full scan can use 4 ms,
blowing away CPU caches.
SACK processing often can use various hints to avoid parsing
whole retransmit queue. But with high packet losses and/or high
reordering, hints no longer work.
Sender has to process thousands of unfriendly SACK, accumulating
a huge socket backlog, burning a cpu and massively dropping packets.
Using an rb-tree for retransmit queue has been avoided for years
because it added complexity and overhead, but now is the time
to be more resistant and say no to quadratic behavior.
1) RTX queue is no longer part of the write queue : already sent skbs
are stored in one rb-tree.
2) Since reaching the head of write queue no longer needs

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
ixgbe interfaces.

TCP Timestamps option is defined in RFC 7323
Traditionally on linux, it has been tied to the internal
'jiffies' variable, because it had been a cheap and good enough
generator.
For TCP flows on the Internet, 1 ms resolution would be much better
than 4ms or 10ms (HZ=250 or HZ=100 respectively)
For TCP flows in the DC, Google has used usec resolution for more
than two years with great success [1]
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
a 1 usec TCP clock.
This choice will allow us to upstream the 1 usec TS option as
discussed in IETF 97.

Use tcp_jiffies32 instead of tcp_time_stamp, since
tcp_time_stamp will soon be only used for TCP TS option.

Use tcp_jiffies32 instead of tcp_time_stamp to feed
tp->lsndtime.
tcp_time_stamp will soon be a litle bit more expensive
than simply reading 'jiffies'.

Idea is to later convert tp->tcp_mstamp to a full u64 counter
using usec resolution, so that we can later have fine
grained TCP TS clock (RFC 7323), regardless of HZ value.
We try to refresh tp->tcp_mstamp only when necessary.

BBR congestion control depends on pacing, and pacing is
currently handled by sch_fq packet scheduler for performance reasons,
and also because implemening pacing with FQ was convenient to truly
avoid bursts.
However there are many cases where this packet scheduler constraint
is not practical.
- Many linux hosts are not focusing on handling thousands of TCP
flows in the most efficient way.
- Some routers use fq_codel or other AQM, but still would like
to use BBR for the few TCP flows they initiate/terminate.
This patch implements an automatic fallback to internal pacing.
Pacing is requested either by BBR or use of SO_MAX_PACING_RATE option.
If sch_fq happens to be in the egress path, pacing is delegated to
the qdisc, otherwise pacing is done by TCP itself.
One advantage of pacing from TCP stack is to get more precise rtt
estimations, and less work done from TX completion, since TCP Small
queue limits are not generally hit. Setups with single TX queue but
many cpus might even benefit from this.
Note that unlike sch_fq, we do not take into account header sizes.
Taking care of these headers would add additional complexity for
no practical differences in behavior.
Some performance numbers using 800 TCP_STREAM flows rate limited to
~48 Mbit per second on 40Gbit NIC.
If MQ+pfifo_fast is used on the NIC :

Christoph Paasch from Apple found another firewall issue for TFO:
After successful 3WHS using TFO, server and client starts to exchange
data. Afterwards, a 10s idle time occurs on this connection. After that,
firewall starts to drop every packet on this connection.
The fix for this issue is to extend existing firewall blackhole detection
logic in tcp_write_timeout() by removing the mss check.

Dmitry Vyukov reported a divide by 0 triggered by syzkaller, exploiting
tcp_disconnect() path that was never really considered and/or used
before syzkaller ;)
I was not able to reproduce the bug, but it seems issues here are the
three possible actions that assumed they would never trigger on a
listener.
1) tcp_write_timer_handler
2) tcp_delack_timer_handler
3) MTU reduction
Only IPv6 MTU reduction was properly testing TCP_CLOSE and TCP_LISTEN
states from tcp_v6_mtu_reduced()

This patch removes the support of RFC5827 early retransmit (i.e.,
fast recovery on small inflight with <3 dupacks) because it is
subsumed by the new RACK loss detection. More specifically when
RACK receives DUPACKs, it'll arm a reordering timer to start fast
recovery after a quarter of (min)RTT, hence it covers the early
retransmit except RACK does not limit itself to specific inflight
or dupack numbers.
