2025-11-17tcp: reduce tcp_comp_sack_slack_ns default value to 10 usecEric Dumazet1-1/+1
net.ipv4.tcp_comp_sack_slack_ns current default value is too high. When a flow has many drops (1 % or more), and small RTT, adding 100 usec before sending SACK stalls the sender relying on getting SACK fast enough to keep the pipe busy. Decrease the default to 10 usec. This is orthogonal to Congestion Control heuristics to determine if drops are caused by congestion or not.

2025-11-12ipv4: route: Prevent rt_bind_exception() from rebinding stale fnheChuang Wang1-0/+5
The sit driver's packet transmission path calls: sit_tunnel_xmit() -> update_or_create_fnhe(), which lead to fnhe_remove_oldest() being called to delete entries exceeding FNHE_RECLAIM_DEPTH+random. The race window is between fnhe_remove_oldest() selecting fnheX for deletion and the subsequent kfree_rcu(). During this time, the concurrent path's __mkroute_output() -> find_exception() can fetch the soon-to-be-deleted fnheX, and rt_bind_exception() then binds it with a new dst using a dst_hold(). When the original fnheX is freed via RCU, the dst reference remains permanently leaked. CPU 0 CPU 1 __mkroute_output() find_exception() [fnheX] update_or_create_fnhe() fnhe_remove_oldest() [fnheX] rt_bind_exception() [bind dst] RCU callback [fnheX freed, dst leak] This issue manifests as a device reference count leak and a warning in dmesg when unregistering the net device: unregister_netdevice: waiting for sitX to become free. Usage count = N Ido Schimmel provided the simple test validation method [1]. The fix clears 'oldest->fnhe_daddr' before calling fnhe_flush_routes(). Since rt_bind_exception() checks this field, setting it to zero prevents the stale fnhe from being reused and bound to a new dst just before it is freed.

2025-11-07tcp: add net.ipv4.tcp_comp_sack_rtt_percentEric Dumazet3-8/+28
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>

Commit 5903123f662e ("tcp: Use BPF timeout setting for SYN ACK RTO") introduced req->timeout and initialised it in 3 places: 1. reqsk_alloc() sets 0 2. inet_reqsk_alloc() sets TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT 3. tcp_conn_request() sets tcp_timeout_init() 1. has been always redundant as 2. overwrites it immediately. 2. was necessary for TFO SYN+ACK but is no longer needed after commit 8ea731d4c2ce ("tcp: Make SYN ACK RTO tunable by BPF programs with TFO"). 3. was moved to reqsk_queue_hash_req() in the previous patch. Now, we always initialise req->timeout just before scheduling the SYN+ACK timer: * For non-TFO SYN+ACK : reqsk_queue_hash_req() * For TFO SYN+ACK : tcp_fastopen_create_child() Let's remove the redundant initialisation of req->timeout in reqsk_alloc() and inet_reqsk_alloc().

2025-11-04net: Convert struct sockaddr to fixed-size "sa_data[14]"Kees Cook1-1/+1
Revert struct sockaddr from flexible array to fixed 14-byte "sa_data", to solve over 36,000 -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings, since struct sockaddr is embedded within many network structs. With socket/proto sockaddr-based internal APIs switched to use struct sockaddr_unsized, there should be no more uses of struct sockaddr that depend on reading beyond the end of struct sockaddr::sa_data that might trigger bounds checking. Comparing an x86_64 "allyesconfig" vmlinux build before and after this patch showed no new "ud1" instructions from CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS nor any new "field-spanning" memcpy CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE instrumentations.

2025-10-30xfrm: Determine inner GSO type from packet inner protocolJianbo Liu1-2/+4
The GSO segmentation functions for ESP tunnel mode (xfrm4_tunnel_gso_segment and xfrm6_tunnel_gso_segment) were determining the inner packet's L2 protocol type by checking the static x->inner_mode.family field from the xfrm state. This is unreliable. In tunnel mode, the state's actual inner family could be defined by x->inner_mode.family or by x->inner_mode_iaf.family. Checking only the former can lead to a mismatch with the actual packet being processed, causing GSO to create segments with the wrong L2 header type. This patch fixes the bug by deriving the inner mode directly from the packet's inner protocol stored in XFRM_MODE_SKB_CB(skb)->protocol. Instead of replicating the code, this patch modifies the xfrm_ip2inner_mode helper function. It now correctly returns &x->inner_mode if the selector family (x->sel.family) is already specified, thereby handling both specific and AF_UNSPEC cases appropriately. With this change, ESP GSO can use xfrm_ip2inner_mode to get the correct inner mode. It doesn't affect existing callers, as the updated logic now mirrors the checks they were already performing externally.

2025-10-29ipv4: icmp: Add RFC 5837 supportIdo Schimmel2-1/+201
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).

2025-10-27tcp: remove one ktime_get() from recvmsg() fast pathEric Dumazet2-3/+11
Each time some payload is consumed by user space (recvmsg() and friends), TCP calls tcp_rcv_space_adjust() to run DRS algorithm to check if an increase of sk->sk_rcvbuf is needed. This function is based on time sampling, and currently calls tcp_mstamp_refresh(tp), which is a wrapper around ktime_get_ns(). ktime_get_ns() has a high cost on some platforms. 100+ cycles for rdtscp on AMD EPYC Turin for instance. We do not have to refresh tp->tcp_mpstamp, using the last cached value is enough. We only need to refresh it from __tcp_cleanup_rbuf() if an ACK must be sent (this is a rare event).

However, later code in the function dereferences hash_location anyway, without checking for null first. Fortunately, there is no real bug, since tcp_inbound_md5_hash() is called only with non-null values of hash_location. Therefore, remove the unnecessary and misleading null check of hash_location.

2025-10-17tcp: Convert tcp-md5 to use MD5 library instead of crypto_ahashEric Biggers4-140/+76
Make tcp-md5 use the MD5 library API (added in 6.18) instead of the crypto_ahash API. This is much simpler and also more efficient: - The library API just operates on struct md5_ctx. Just allocate this struct on the stack instead of using a pool of pre-allocated crypto_ahash and ahash_request objects. - The library API accepts standard pointers and doesn't require scatterlists. So, for hashing the headers just use an on-stack buffer instead of a pool of pre-allocated kmalloc'ed scratch buffers. - The library API never fails. Therefore, checking for MD5 hashing errors is no longer necessary. Update tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb(), tcp_v6_md5_hash_skb(), tcp_v4_md5_hash_hdr(), tcp_v6_md5_hash_hdr(), tcp_md5_hash_key(), tcp_sock_af_ops::calc_md5_hash, and tcp_request_sock_ops::calc_md5_hash to return void instead of int. - The library API provides direct access to the MD5 code, eliminating unnecessary overhead such as indirect function calls and scatterlist management. Microbenchmarks of tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb() on x86_64 show a speedup from 7518 to 7041 cycles (6% fewer) with skb->len == 1440, or from 1020 to 678 cycles (33% fewer) with skb->len == 140. Since tcp_sigpool_hash_skb_data() can no longer be used, add a function tcp_md5_hash_skb_data() which is specialized to MD5. Of course, to the extent that this duplicates any code, it's well worth it. To preserve the existing behavior of TCP-MD5 support being disabled when the kernel is booted with "fips=1", make tcp_md5_do_add() check fips_enabled itself. Previously it relied on the error from crypto_alloc_ahash("md5") being bubbled up. I don't know for sure that this is actually needed, but this preserves the existing behavior. Tested with bidirectional TCP-MD5, both IPv4 and IPv6, between a kernel that includes this commit and a kernel that doesn't include this commit. (Side note: please don't use TCP-MD5! It's cryptographically weak. But as long as Linux supports it, it might as well be implemented properly.)

2025-10-17inet: Avoid ehash lookup race in inet_twsk_hashdance_schedule()Xuanqiang Luo1-23/+12
Since ehash lookups are lockless, if another CPU is converting sk to tw concurrently, fetching the newly inserted tw with tw->tw_refcnt == 0 cause lookup failure. The call trace map is drawn as follows: CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- inet_twsk_hashdance_schedule() spin_lock() inet_twsk_add_node_rcu(tw, ...) __inet_lookup_established() (find tw, failure due to tw_refcnt = 0) __sk_nulls_del_node_init_rcu(sk) refcount_set(&tw->tw_refcnt, 3) spin_unlock() By replacing sk with tw atomically via hlist_nulls_replace_init_rcu() after setting tw_refcnt, we ensure that tw is either fully initialized or not visible to other CPUs, eliminating the race. It's worth noting that we held lock_sock() before the replacement, so there's no need to check if sk is hashed. Thanks to Kuniyuki Iwashima!

2025-10-16net: Allow opt-out from global protocol memory accounting.Kuniyuki Iwashima2-2/+8
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. Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@google.com> Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeel.butt@linux.dev> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@linux.dev> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251014235604.3057003-3-kuniyu@google.com
2025-10-16tcp: Save lock_sock() for memcg in inet_csk_accept().Kuniyuki Iwashima2-25/+22
If memcg is enabled, accept() acquires lock_sock() twice for each new TCP/MPTCP socket in inet_csk_accept() and __inet_accept(). Let's move memcg operations from inet_csk_accept() to __inet_accept(). Note that SCTP somehow allocates a new socket by sk_alloc() in sk->sk_prot->accept() and clones fields manually, instead of using sk_clone_lock(). mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() is called for SCTP before __inet_accept(), so I added the protocol check in __inet_accept(), but this can be removed once SCTP uses sk_clone_lock().

2025-10-16udp: do not use skb_release_head_state() before skb_attempt_defer_free()Eric Dumazet1-2/+0
Michal reported and bisected an issue after recent adoption of skb_attempt_defer_free() in UDP. The issue here is that skb_release_head_state() is called twice per skb, one time from skb_consume_udp(), then a second time from skb_defer_free_flush() and napi_consume_skb(). As Sabrina suggested, remove skb_release_head_state() call from skb_consume_udp(). Add a DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(skb_nfct(skb)) in skb_attempt_defer_free() Many thanks to Michal, Sabrina, Paolo and Florian for their help.

2025-10-15tcp: better handle TCP_TX_DELAY on established flowsEric Dumazet2-6/+29
Some applications uses TCP_TX_DELAY socket option after TCP flow is established. Some metrics need to be updated, otherwise TCP might take time to adapt to the new (emulated) RTT. This patch adjusts tp->srtt_us, tp->rtt_min, icsk_rto and sk->sk_pacing_rate. This is best effort, and for instance icsk_rto is reset without taking backoff into account.

2025-10-14tcp: fix tcp_tso_should_defer() vs large RTTEric Dumazet1-4/+15
Neal reported that using neper tcp_stream with TCP_TX_DELAY set to 50ms would often lead to flows stuck in a small cwnd mode, regardless of the congestion control. While tcp_stream sets TCP_TX_DELAY too late after the connect(), 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.

2025-10-13net/ip6_tunnel: Prevent perpetual tunnel growthDmitry Safonov1-14/+0
Similarly to ipv4 tunnel, ipv6 version updates dev->needed_headroom, too. While ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment growth was limited in commit 5ae1e9922bbd ("net: ip_tunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth"), ipv6 tunnel yet increases the headroom without any ceiling. Reflect ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment limit on ipv6 version. Credits to Francesco Ruggeri, who was originally debugging this issue and wrote local Arista-specific patch and a reproducer.

2025-10-06tcp: take care of zero tp->window_clamp in tcp_set_rcvlowat()Eric Dumazet1-1/+4
Some applications (like selftests/net/tcp_mmap.c) call SO_RCVLOWAT on their listener, before accept(). This has an unfortunate effect on wscale selection in tcp_select_initial_window() during 3WHS. For instance, tcp_mmap was negotiating wscale 4, regardless of tcp_rmem[2] and sysctl_rmem_max. Do not change tp->window_clamp if it is zero or bigger than our computed value. Zero value is special, it allows tcp_select_initial_window() to enable autotuning. Note that SO_RCVLOWAT use on listener is probably not wise, because tp->scaling_ratio has a default value, possibly wrong.
