This an attempt to fix the data transfer stall reported by Geliang and
Gang more carefully enforcing memory constraints at the MPTCP level.
The first path is from Shardul, included here as the condition addressed
by such a patch is frequently hit in the relevant test-cased.
Patch 2 and 3 makes the admission check much more strict for incoming
packets exceeding the memory limits, with some exception for fallback
sockets.
Patch 4, 5, 6 and 7 are cleanups/refactors finalized to safely re-using
TCP helpers on MPTCP skbs.
Patch 8 makes TCP pruning related helpers available to MPTCP and patch 9
makes use of them. Patch 10 addresses an edge scenario that could still
lead to transfer stall under memory pressure.
Finally patch 11 and 12 improve the MPTCP-level retransmission schema to
make recovery from memory pressure significanly faster.
Tested successfully vs the test cases proposed by Geliang and Gang and
vs the selftests.
---
Some notes on each patch WRT ignored or false positive issues noticed
by sashiko so far.
Patch 1 should go via net, included here for my own sake :-P
Paolo Abeni (12):
mptcp: do not drop partial packets
mptcp: explicitly drop over memory limits
mptcp: enforce hard limit on backlog flushing
mptcp: drop the mptcp_ooo_try_coalesce() helper
mptcp: drop the cant_coalesce CB field
mptcp: remove CB offset field
mptcp: sync mptcp skb cb layout with tcp one
tcp: expose the tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() helper to mptcp usage, too
mptcp: implemented OoO queue pruning
mptcp: track prune recovery status
mptcp: move the retrans loop to a separate helper
mptcp: let the retrans scheduler do its job.

When a packet arrives with map_seq < ack_seq < end_seq, the beginning
of the packet has already been acknowledged but the end contains new
data. Currently the entire packet is dropped as "old data," forcing
the sender to retransmit.
Instead, skip the already-acked bytes by adjusting the skb offset and
enqueue only the new portion. Update bytes_received and ack_seq to
reflect the new data consumed.
A previous attempt at this fix (commit 1d2ce718811a ("mptcp: do not
drop partial packets"), reverted in commit bf39160c4218 ("Revert
"mptcp: do not drop partial packets"")) also added a zero-window
check and changed rcv_wnd_sent initialization, which caused test
regressions. This version addresses only the partial packet handling
without modifying receive window accounting.
Fixes: ab174ad8ef76 ("mptcp: move ooo skbs into msk out of order queue.")

Currently the enforcement of the rcvbuf constraint is implemented
when moving the skbs into the msk receive or OoO queue, keeping the
incoming skbs in the subflow queue when over limit.
Under significant memory pressure the above can cause permanent data
transfer stalls. Hard enforce the memory limits as early as possible,
before landing even in the subflow queues, and refine the check when
owning the msk socket lock.
Note that fallback socket must not drop on the later checks, as the
incoming skb is already acked, and such drop would break the stream.

v3 -> v4:
- schedule TCP ack on drop
- enforce limits in __mptcp_move_skb() and __mptcp_add_backlog(), too
but only if not fallback.
v1 -> v2:
- deal correctly with tcp fin and zero win probe
RFC -> v1:
- limit vs actual buffer size
- use CB info instead of skb->len
Note that:
- this needs the follow-up patches to really fix the stall
- sashiko can assume ZWP carries unacked data and may be silently dropped.
AFAIK that is false.
- the memory comparison is intentionally very rough, as
the msk socket lock is not currently held where the condition is
now enforced. This should require some refinement, shared as-is
to avoid more latency on my side

Currently a wild producer could keep the backlog flushing operation
spinning for an unbound time.
Since the previous patch the amount of data present in the backlog is
hard-limited. Move the backlog len update at the end of the flush loop to
prevent it spinning forever.
Also, no need to splice back the remaining skbs list into the backlog, as
such list is always empty after each backlog processing loop.

It's used to save an additional comparison for in-order skbs, but is
also a barrier to remove CB offset. Remove the helper, let
__mptcp_try_coalesce() always perform the sequence check and remove
duplicate checks from the callers.

Such field is used to ensure in-sequence processing in case of fastopen.
Instead let's perform synchronization of the fastopen skb sequence
when the IASN becomes available with the 3rd ack.
When the `cant_coalesce` field has been introduced, commit f03afb3aeb9d
("mptcp: drop __mptcp_fastopen_gen_msk_ackseq()") noted that updating the
already queued skb for passive fastopen socket at 3rd ack time would be
difficult and race prone. The main point is that such update don't need
to be synchronously performed at 3rd ack time, but is sufficient to
perform it before the next segment is introduced into the msk.
To such extent, add an explicit test in __mptcp_move_skb(). Performance
wise this trades a conditional in the fast path - in __mptcp_try_coalesce()
- with a similar one in __mptcp_move_skb() and a couple more in slow paths.
After this change the user-space will always observe consistent sequence
numbers in the receive queue, even in the TFO dummy mapping case.

Instead, use a new msk-level field to track the bytes already consumed
inside each skb, carrying the amount of bytes already copied to
user-space, alike what TCP is already doing.
The newly introduce `copied_seq` field is always accessed under the msk
socket lock, delegating the synchronization with IASN to the msk release
CB, when the socket is owned by the user-space at remote key reception
time. Such synchronization preserves any partial progress (copy) made on
the TFO packet.
Note that the explicit synchronization in __mptcp_move_skb() is needed to
ensure that the TFO skb in the receive queue got its map_seq synched
before the next skb lands into the receive queue when spooling the backlog
at mptcp_release_cb() time, as the release CB synchronization will happen
later.
Prior to this patch, the TFO skb dummy mapping was always ignored, now it
affects the `copied_seq` initial update: be sure to extends the sign
correctly of such mapping initialization time.
Overall this simplify a bit the __mptcp_recvmsg_mskq() and mptcp_inq_hint()
code and will also make possible the next patch.

v3 -> v4:
- fix peek seq race
v2 -> v3:
- do not use msk->first in release_cb to deal with MPTCP_SYNC_SEQ:
subflow->iasn access is (data) racy and msk->first can be null, instead
recompute iasn from msk bytes_received and TFO skb len
- when updating copied_seq after remote key reception, add iasn to it
instead of overwriting, to avoid deleting any partial progress.
v1 -> v2:
- deal correctly with peek, as usally "inspired" from the correspondent
tcp code
- update mptcp_inq_hint(), too
Notes:
- this explicitly relays on "mptcp: do not drop partial packets" to
avoid dropping partially consumed packets
- sashiko may confuse the 'offset' in mptcp_init_skb for an MPTCP-level
one, but it refers to the TCP sequence space. Conclusion out of the
that assumptions are wrong.
- the data race in mptcp_inq_hint() is real, but pre-existing and can
impact only sockopt() output - the other call-sites are race free, as
ack_seq updates are serialized by the RX path.
Fixing the race for good without sashiko tripping on other similar
minor races would require another largish series. Postponed.
- sashiko may see a race with `copied_seq` in mptcp_recv_skb(), that is
not real: subflow_set_remote_key()/__mptcp_sync_rcv_sequence() has seen
the msk owned; if mptcp_data_ready() has seen again the msk owend, the
only skb in the receive queue can be the (unsynched) TFO one, with dummy
sequence. If mptcp_data_ready() observed msk not owned and queued more
skbs, the release_cb() has run and synched `copied_seq` and TFO skb
map_seq.

From: Paolo Abeni @ 2026-05-09 7:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: mptcp; +Cc: Shardul Bankar
The MPTCP protocol uses a significantly different CB layout WRT TCP, as it
includes different information and use 64 bits for the sequence numbers.
As the msk-level rcvbuf buffer size is limited by the core socket code the
INT_MAX; after validating the incoming skb vs the current receive window,
we can safely use 32 bits for MPTCP-level sequence number. This allow
updating the MPTCP CB layout so that fields with a corresponding TCP-level
data use the same area inside the CB itself.
Add build time check to ensure the latter invariant.

v3 -> v4:
- fix wrong check for OoO skb in mptcp_move_skb().
v1 -> v2:
- use u64 for admission checks
rfc -> v1:
- keep `ack_seq` up2date

The end goal is to avoid duplicating the quite untrivial strategy at MPTCP
level.
After the previous patch, the mentioned helpers could process skbs standing
in MPTCP-level queues without any CB-related adaptation.
The only additional adjustment needed is explicitly providing the OoO queue
reference, to cope with different sk layout.
Additionally rename the helper to clearly document its hybrid nature and
let it return the number of collapsed skbs, to allow proper accounting from
the future MPTCP caller.

rfc -> v1:
- fix arg typo
Note:
- this will need a significant amount of testing at the TCP level and
explicit approval from Eric, which I can't guess if we can hope.

Leverage the hybrid helpers to implement the receive queue and OoO queue
collapsing at ingress time when reaching memory bounds.
If the msk is owned by the user-space at incoming skb time, perform the
pruning in the release_cb. The prune check is additionally performed
when the skb reaches the msk-level queues.

v2 -> v3:
- deal with unsynced TFO skb at prune time - only possible when pruning
in mptcp_over_limit()
v1 -> v2:
- collapse rcv queue, too
- deal with MPC map, too
- drop left-over sentence in the commit message
RFC -> v1:
- use data_seq only when available
- avoid ack_seq lockless access
- drop limit on fallback
- collapse rcvqueue, too
- drop only when pruning is not possible and over rcvbuf * 2
Note:
- sashiko can be confused about fwd memory lifecycle (I can
understand that :). Any exceeding amount of fwd allocated memory
is always released by the next sk_mem_uncharge() - i.e. fwd memory
is not tied to the current skb.

After dropping any data already acked at the TCP level, the MPTCP must
avoid inducing TCP-level retransmission until the pruned data has been
successfully acked at MPTCP level. Otherwise the subflows could keep
retransmitting skbs carring OoO MPTCP data, preventing reinjections and
stalling completely the data transfer.
Explicitly keep track of the highest pruned MPTCP-level seq number and
stop dropping at TCP level until such sequence has been acked.

Currently the MPTCP core enforces that when MPTCP-level retrans timer
fires, at most a single dfrag is retransmitted. If some corner-cases it
may be necessary retransmit multiple dfrags, and the MPTCP socket will
need to wait multiple retrans timeout to accomplish that.
Remove the mentioned constraint, allowing to transmit multiple dfrags per
retrans period, as long as the scheduler keeps selecting subflows for
retransmissions and pending data is available in the rtx queue.
The default scheduler will transmit a dfrag per available subflow.

v3 -> v4:
- avoid quadratic behavior, fix retrans_seq update
- fix rtx timer re-schedule miss
v2 -> v3:
- fix infinite loop issue (should address tls tests failures)
v1 -> v2:
- fix retrans sequence update (sashiko)

Does returning true here cause a permanent data transfer stall?
When mptcp_over_limit() decides to drop a packet, it schedules an ACK and
returns true, which in turn makes mptcp_incoming_options() return false.
When this occurs in the TCP fast path or early in tcp_v4_rcv(), returning
false instructs the TCP stack to jump immediately to the discard label. This
bypasses the standard tcp_ack_snd_check() calls located at the end of the
receive path.
Since inet_csk_schedule_ack() only sets the ICSK_ACK_SCHED pending flag and
does not arm the delayed ACK timer, the scheduled ACK is never dispatched.
The sender will eventually timeout, retransmit the identical packet, hit
this exact same memory limit, and be dropped again without an ACK.
---
That is a bit of an allucination: mptcp subflow can't hit fastpath, and
the other referenced mptcp_incoming_options() calls happens only for
states that prevent the other end from sending more data: the mentioned
stall is not possible

Sashiko says:

Could this sequence lead to an integer underflow and data loss?
When the remote key is received and the socket is owned by the user,
subflow_set_remote_key() defers the copied_seq update by setting
MPTCP_SYNC_SEQ.
If synchronous backlog processing occurs via mptcp_move_skbs() before the
release callback can run, __mptcp_sync_rcv_sequence() will update map_seq
to iasn - skb->len.
Because copied_seq remains at -skb->len, calculating offset in
mptcp_recv_skb() as msk->copied_seq - MPTCP_SKB_CB(skb)->map_seq appears
to result in -iasn.
Since this causes offset to become a very large positive value, will
offset < skb->len evaluate to false, causing mptcp_eat_recv_skb() to
unintentionally drop the skb?
Additionally, does this desynchronization affect mptcp_inq_hint(),
causing it to calculate a hint_val that frequently exceeds INT_MAX
and falsely report pending data?
---
It's allocinating WRT the integer overflow here: copied seq is
explicitly kept in sync with the current queue head map_seq.
The mptcp_inq_hint() race is real (even if IMHO not very relevant). I'll
address it in the next iteration

Sashiko says:

Will this cause an uninitialized memory read?
The mp_opt struct is allocated on the stack without initialization in
mptcp_incoming_options(). Since use_map is a bitfield, assigning 0 to it
results in a read-modify-write operation on the uninitialized word, which
could trigger KMSAN warnings or other static analysis alerts.
---
No, AFAICS KMSAN handles bitfiled just fine

Sashiko says:

Could msk->ooo_last_skb point to a freed skb here?
Looking at __mptcp_check_prune() below, it calls xtcp_collapse_ofo_queue()
which can collapse and free skbs in the out of order queue. However,
xtcp_collapse_ofo_queue() only updates the ooo_last_skb pointer if it
reaches
the end of the queue.
If xtcp_collapse_ofo_queue() hits its early exit condition:
net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:xtcp_collapse_ofo_queue() {
...
} else {
sum_tiny += range_truesize;
if (sum_tiny > sk->sk_rcvbuf >> 3)
return collapsed;
}
...
}
It returns without updating the ooo_last_skb pointer. If the skb that
ooo_last_skb originally pointed to was freed by a previous collapse
operation
in the same call, could this result in a use-after-free when dereferencing
its rbnode here?
---
No, xtcp_collapse_ofo_queue() does not currupt the rb tree status.

Sashiko says:
---
Does this read of msk->ack_seq need a READ_ONCE() annotation?
If sock_owned_by_user(sk) is true, a concurrent thread releasing the socket
might modify msk->ack_seq via WRITE_ONCE() during backlog processing where
the lock is intentionally dropped.
Since msk->ack_seq is a 64-bit value, reading it without READ_ONCE()
while it
is being concurrently updated could lead to a torn read or trigger KCSAN
data
race warnings.
It looks like msk->pruned_seq is correctly protected with READ_ONCE() in the
same expression.
---
No, this is under the msk data lock, and msk->ack_seq is updated under
such lock, the access is race-less. (very strange sashiko's miss this one).
