* [PATCH net-next] net: Limit logical shift left of TCP probe0 timeout @ 2020-12-08 9:19 Cambda Zhu 2020-12-12 22:32 ` Jakub Kicinski 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Cambda Zhu @ 2020-12-08 9:19 UTC (permalink / raw) To: netdev, Eric Dumazet; +Cc: Dust Li, Tony Lu, Cambda Zhu For each TCP zero window probe, the icsk_backoff is increased by one and its max value is tcp_retries2. If tcp_retries2 is greater than 63, the probe0 timeout shift may exceed its max bits. On x86_64/ARMv8/MIPS, the shift count would be masked to range 0 to 63. And on ARMv7 the result is zero. If the shift count is masked, only several probes will be sent with timeout shorter than TCP_RTO_MAX. But if the timeout is zero, it needs tcp_retries2 times probes to end this false timeout. Besides, bitwise shift greater than or equal to the width is an undefined behavior. This patch adds a limit to the backoff. The max value of max_when is TCP_RTO_MAX and the min value of timeout base is TCP_RTO_MIN. The limit is the backoff from TCP_RTO_MIN to TCP_RTO_MAX.

If tcp_retries2 is set greater than 255, it can be wrapped. But for TCP probe0, it seems to be not a serious problem. The timeout will be icsk_rto and backoff again. And considering icsk_backoff is 8 bits, not only it may always be lesser than tcp_retries2, but also may always be lesser than tcp_orphan_retries. And the icsk_probes_out is 8 bits too. So if the max_probes is greater than 255, the connection won’t abort even if it’s an orphan sock in some cases. We can change the type of icsk_backoff/icsk_probes_out to fix these problems. But I think maybe the retries greater than 255 have no sense indeed and the RFC only requires the timeout(R2) greater than 100s at least. Could it be better to limit the min/max ranges of their sysctls? Regards, Cambda > > Adding Eric's address from MAINTAINERS to CC. > >> This patch adds a limit to the backoff.

Yes, we need. But the socket can close after tcp_orphan_retries times probes even if alive is always true. And there’re something I’m not very clear yet: 1) inet_csk_rto_backoff() may be not only for TCP, and the RFC 6298 requires the max value of RTO is 60 seconds at least. So what’s the proper shift limit? 2) If max_probes is greater than 255, the icsk_probes_out cannot be greater than max_probes and the connection may not close forever. This looks more serious. > > Was your patch based on a real world use, or some fuzzer UBSAN report ? > I found this issue not on TCP. I’m developing a private protocol, and in this protocol I made something like probe0 with max RTO lesser than 120 seconds. I found similar issues on testing and found Linux TCP have same issues. So it’s not a real world use for TCP and it may be ok to ignore the issues. > diff --git a/include/net/inet_connection_sock.h > b/include/net/inet_connection_sock.h > index 7338b3865a2a3d278dc27c0167bba1b966bbda9f..a2a145e3b062c0230935c293fc1900df095937d4 > 100644 > --- a/include/net/inet_connection_sock.h > +++ b/include/net/inet_connection_sock.h > @@ -242,9 +242,10 @@ static inline unsigned long > inet_csk_rto_backoff(const struct inet_connection_sock *icsk, > unsigned long max_when) > { > - u64 when = (u64)icsk->icsk_rto << icsk->icsk_backoff; > + u8 backoff = min_t(u8, 32U, icsk->icsk_backoff); > + u64 when = (u64)icsk->icsk_rto << backoff; > > - return (unsigned long)min_t(u64, when, max_when); > + return (unsigned long)min_t(u64, when, max_when); > } > > struct sock *inet_csk_accept(struct sock *sk, int flags, int *err, bool kern); > diff --git a/include/net/tcp.h b/include/net/tcp.h > index 78d13c88720fda50e3f1880ac741cea1985ef3e9..fc6e4d40fd94a717d24ebd8aef7f7930a4551fe9 > 100644 > --- a/include/net/tcp.h > +++ b/include/net/tcp.h > @@ -1328,9 +1328,8 @@ static inline unsigned long > tcp_probe0_when(const struct sock *sk, > { > u8 backoff = min_t(u8, ilog2(TCP_RTO_MAX / TCP_RTO_MIN) + 1, > inet_csk(sk)->icsk_backoff); > - u64 when = (u64)tcp_probe0_base(sk) << backoff; > > - return (unsigned long)min_t(u64, when, max_when); > + return min(tcp_probe0_base(sk) << backoff, max_when); > } > > static inline void tcp_check_probe_timer(struct sock *sk) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
