Neal Cardwell 67a88846ee tcp: fix tcp_enter_recovery() to zero retrans_stamp when it's safe
[ Upstream commit b41b4cbd9655bcebcce941bef3601db8110335be ]

Fix tcp_enter_recovery() so that if there are no retransmits out then
we zero retrans_stamp when entering fast recovery. This is necessary
to fix two buggy behaviors.

Currently a non-zero retrans_stamp value can persist across multiple
back-to-back loss recovery episodes. This is because we generally only
clears retrans_stamp if we are completely done with loss recoveries,
and get to tcp_try_to_open() and find !tcp_any_retrans_done(sk). This
behavior causes two bugs:

(1) When a loss recovery episode (CA_Loss or CA_Recovery) is followed
immediately by a new CA_Recovery, the retrans_stamp value can persist
and can be a time before this new CA_Recovery episode starts. That
means that timestamp-based undo will be using the wrong retrans_stamp
(a value that is too old) when comparing incoming TS ecr values to
retrans_stamp to see if the current fast recovery episode can be
undone.

(2) If there is a roughly minutes-long sequence of back-to-back fast
recovery episodes, one after another (e.g. in a shallow-buffered or
policed bottleneck), where each fast recovery successfully makes
forward progress and recovers one window of sequence space (but leaves
at least one retransmit in flight at the end of the recovery),
followed by several RTOs, then the ETIMEDOUT check may be using the
wrong retrans_stamp (a value set at the start of the first fast
recovery in the sequence). This can cause a very premature ETIMEDOUT,
killing the connection prematurely.

This commit changes the code to zero retrans_stamp when entering fast
recovery, when this is known to be safe (no retransmits are out in the
network). That ensures that when starting a fast recovery episode, and
it is safe to do so, retrans_stamp is set when we send the fast
retransmit packet. That addresses both bug (1) and bug (2) by ensuring
that (if no retransmits are out when we start a fast recovery) we use
the initial fast retransmit of this fast recovery as the time value
for undo and ETIMEDOUT calculations.

This makes intuitive sense, since the start of a new fast recovery
episode (in a scenario where no lost packets are out in the network)
means that the connection has made forward progress since the last RTO
or fast recovery, and we should thus "restart the clock" used for both
undo and ETIMEDOUT logic.

Note that if when we start fast recovery there *are* retransmits out
in the network, there can still be undesirable (1)/(2) issues. For
example, after this patch we can still have the (1) and (2) problems
in cases like this:

+ round 1: sender sends flight 1

+ round 2: sender receives SACKs and enters fast recovery 1,
  retransmits some packets in flight 1 and then sends some new data as
  flight 2

+ round 3: sender receives some SACKs for flight 2, notes losses, and
  retransmits some packets to fill the holes in flight 2

+ fast recovery has some lost retransmits in flight 1 and continues
  for one or more rounds sending retransmits for flight 1 and flight 2

+ fast recovery 1 completes when snd_una reaches high_seq at end of
  flight 1

+ there are still holes in the SACK scoreboard in flight 2, so we
  enter fast recovery 2, but some retransmits in the flight 2 sequence
  range are still in flight (retrans_out > 0), so we can't execute the
  new retrans_stamp=0 added here to clear retrans_stamp

It's not yet clear how to fix these remaining (1)/(2) issues in an
efficient way without breaking undo behavior, given that retrans_stamp
is currently used for undo and ETIMEDOUT. Perhaps the optimal (but
expensive) strategy would be to set retrans_stamp to the timestamp of
the earliest outstanding retransmit when entering fast recovery. But
at least this commit makes things better.

Note that this does not change the semantics of retrans_stamp; it
simply makes retrans_stamp accurate in some cases where it was not
before:

(1) Some loss recovery, followed by an immediate entry into a fast
recovery, where there are no retransmits out when entering the fast
recovery.

(2) When a TFO server has a SYNACK retransmit that sets retrans_stamp,
and then the ACK that completes the 3-way handshake has SACK blocks
that trigger a fast recovery. In this case when entering fast recovery
we want to zero out the retrans_stamp from the TFO SYNACK retransmit,
and set the retrans_stamp based on the timestamp of the fast recovery.

We introduce a tcp_retrans_stamp_cleanup() helper, because this
two-line sequence already appears in 3 places and is about to appear
in 2 more as a result of this bug fix patch series. Once this bug fix
patches series in the net branch makes it into the net-next branch
we'll update the 3 other call sites to use the new helper.

This is a long-standing issue. The Fixes tag below is chosen to be the
oldest commit at which the patch will apply cleanly, which is from
Linux v3.5 in 2012.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

    • Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux, additions of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.
    • When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass script/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry picked from commit ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch
