[MPTCP] [PATCH net-next v2 0/3] mptcp: fix MP_JOIN failure handling

[MPTCP] [PATCH net-next v2 0/3] mptcp: fix MP_JOIN failure handling

[Paolo Abeni]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1532 bytes --]

Currently if we hit an MP_JOIN failure on the third ack, the child socket is
closed with reset, but the request socket is not deleted, causing weird
behaviors.

The main problem is that MPTCP's MP_JOIN code needs to plug it's own
'valid 3rd ack' checks and the current TCP callbacks do not allow that.

This series tries to address the above shortcoming introducing a new MPTCP
specific bit in a 'struct tcp_request_sock' hole, and leveraging that to allow
tcp_check_req releasing the request socket when needed.

The above allows cleaning-up a bit current MPTCP hooking in tcp_check_req().

An alternative solution, possibly cleaner but more invasive, would be
changing the 'bool *own_req' syn_recv_sock() argument into 'int *req_status'
and let MPTCP set it to 'REQ_DROP'.

v1 -> v2:
 - be more conservative about drop_req initialization

RFC -> v1:
 - move the drop_req bit inside tcp_request_sock (Eric)

Paolo Abeni (3):
  mptcp: add new sock flag to deal with join subflows
  inet_connection_sock: factor out destroy helper.
  mptcp: cope better with MP_JOIN failure

[MPTCP] [PATCH net-next v2 1/3] mptcp: add new sock flag to deal with join subflows

[Paolo Abeni]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5203 bytes --]

MP_JOIN subflows must not land into the accept queue.
Currently tcp_check_req() calls an mptcp specific helper
to detect such scenario.

Such helper leverages the subflow context to check for
MP_JOIN subflows. We need to deal also with MP JOIN
failures, even when the subflow context is not available
due allocation failure.

A possible solution would be changing the syn_recv_sock()
signature to allow returning a more descriptive action/
error code and deal with that in tcp_check_req().

Since the above need is MPTCP specific, this patch instead
uses a TCP request socket hole to add a MPTCP specific flag.
Such flag is used by the MPTCP syn_recv_sock() to tell
tcp_check_req() how to deal with the request socket.

This change is a no-op for !MPTCP build, and makes the
MPTCP code simpler. It allows also the next patch to deal
correctly with MP JOIN failure.

v1 -> v2:
 - be more conservative on drop_req initialization (Mat)

RFC -> v1:
 - move the drop_req bit inside tcp_request_sock (Eric)

[MPTCP] [PATCH net-next v2 3/3] mptcp: cope better with MP_JOIN failure

[Paolo Abeni]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2308 bytes --]

Currently, on MP_JOIN failure we reset the child
socket, but leave the request socket untouched.

tcp_check_req will deal with it according to the
'tcp_abort_on_overflow' sysctl value - by default the
req socket will stay alive.

The above leads to inconsistent behavior on MP JOIN
failure, and bad listener overflow accounting.

This patch addresses the issue leveraging the infrastructure
just introduced to ask the TCP stack to drop the req on
failure.

The child socket is not freed anymore by subflow_syn_recv_sock(),
instead it's moved to a dead state and will be disposed by the
next sock_put done by the TCP stack, so that listener overflow
accounting is not affected by MP JOIN failure.

[PATCH net-next v2 3/3] mptcp: cope better with MP_JOIN failure

[Paolo Abeni]

Currently, on MP_JOIN failure we reset the child
socket, but leave the request socket untouched.

tcp_check_req will deal with it according to the
'tcp_abort_on_overflow' sysctl value - by default the
req socket will stay alive.

The above leads to inconsistent behavior on MP JOIN
failure, and bad listener overflow accounting.

This patch addresses the issue leveraging the infrastructure
just introduced to ask the TCP stack to drop the req on
failure.

The child socket is not freed anymore by subflow_syn_recv_sock(),
instead it's moved to a dead state and will be disposed by the
next sock_put done by the TCP stack, so that listener overflow
accounting is not affected by MP JOIN failure.
