From: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.318 commit 8b5fd51b3040ce2596d22a72767c66d7435853b6 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/IAMPH5 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... --------------------------- [ Upstream commit a6458ab7fd4f427d4f6f54380453ad255b7fde83 ] In some production workloads we noticed that connections could sometimes close extremely prematurely with ETIMEDOUT after transmitting only 1 TLP and RTO retransmission (when we would normally expect roughly tcp_retries2 = TCP_RETR2 = 15 RTOs before a connection closes with ETIMEDOUT). From tracing we determined that these workloads can suffer from a scenario where in fast recovery, after some retransmits, a DSACK undo can happen at a point where the scoreboard is totally clear (we have retrans_out == sacked_out == lost_out == 0). In such cases, calling tcp_try_keep_open() means that we do not execute any code path that clears tp->retrans_stamp to 0. That means that tp->retrans_stamp can remain erroneously set to the start time of the undone fast recovery, even after the fast recovery is undone. If minutes or hours elapse, and then a TLP/RTO/RTO sequence occurs, then the start_ts value in retransmits_timed_out() (which is from tp->retrans_stamp) will be erroneously ancient (left over from the fast recovery undone via DSACKs). Thus this ancient tp->retrans_stamp value can cause the connection to die very prematurely with ETIMEDOUT via tcp_write_err(). The fix: we change DSACK undo in fast recovery (TCP_CA_Recovery) to call tcp_try_to_open() instead of tcp_try_keep_open(). This ensures that if no retransmits are in flight at the time of DSACK undo in fast recovery then we properly zero retrans_stamp. Note that calling tcp_try_to_open() is more consistent with other loss recovery behavior, since normal fast recovery (CA_Recovery) and RTO recovery (CA_Loss) both normally end when tp->snd_una meets or exceeds tp->high_seq and then in tcp_fastretrans_alert() the "default" switch case executes tcp_try_to_open(). Also note that by inspection this change to call tcp_try_to_open() implies at least one other nice bug fix, where now an ECE-marked DSACK that causes an undo will properly invoke tcp_enter_cwr() rather than ignoring the ECE mark.
