[PATCH mptcp-net v2 0/4] mptcp: fix races in add_addr handling

[Paolo Abeni]

the patches 1 && 2 fix actual races, even if the race addressed by
2/4 is not exposed by the self-tests, afaics.

patch 3 introduces some mibs to detect critical scenarios we can't
fix without major rework

patch 4 updates the self-test to be graceful in above cases.

Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/254

Paolo Abeni (4):
  mptcp: fix race in overlapping signal events
  mptcp: fix race in incoming ADD_ADDR option processing.
  mptcp: add mibs counter for ignored incoming options
  selftests: mptcp: more robust signal race test

[PATCH mptcp-net v2 1/4] mptcp: fix race in overlapping signal events

[Paolo Abeni]

After commit a88c9e496937 ("mptcp: do not block subflows
creation on errors"), if a signal address races with a failing
subflow creation, the subflow creation failure control path
can trigger the selection of the next address to be announced
while the current announced is still pending.

The above will cause the unintended suppression of the ADD_ADDR
announce.

Fix the issue skipping the to-be-suppressed announce before it
will mark an endpoint as already used. The relevant announce
will be triggered again when the current one will complete.

There is a helper for this: mptcp_pm_should_add_signal_addr()
(which also uses READ_ONCE())

I chose to not use it, as the condition I'm really checking is: "is the
PM already processing a signal addr?" which incidentally boils down to
the same code, but the helper name would be misleading IMHO.

I can adapt if there are strong opinion WRT the above. Please let me
know.

Thanks!

If it helps, we can also have a new helper:

    mptcp_pm_is_processing_signal_addr()

simply calling "mptcp_pm_should_add_signal_addr()", no? :)

[PATCH mptcp-net v2 2/4] mptcp: fix race in incoming ADD_ADDR option processing.

[Paolo Abeni]

If an MPTCP endpoint received moltiple consecutive incoming
ADD_ADDR options, mptcp_pm_add_addr_received() can overwrite
the current remote address value after the PM lock is released
in mptcp_pm_nl_add_addr_received() and before such address
is echoed.

Fix the issue caching the remote address value a little earlier
and always using the cached value after releasing the PM lock.

Thank you for looking at that!

It seems really helping for me: 500 iterations without issues! I guess
we can add:

Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/254

(I guess we don't need Reported/Tested-by tags.)

Not related to that but do you think we could have a similar issue with
RM_ADDR (issues/225)?


But one important thing: this series introduces a regression apparently:
packetdrill ADD_ADDR tests are now failing because the port is missing
in the echo packet:

I'm very surprise the compiler doesn't complain about this line because
reset_port can be used later while not having been set before. Is it
normal with 'bool'?


Setting it to false by default fixes the issue with packetdrill on my side:

With Matthieu's reset_port fix, it's working well for me too.

Whoops, not sure how I forgot the proper initializer, and I'm also
surprised the compiler did not warn (the latter may provide some excuse
for the first ;)

Do you prerfer a formal repost or can you mangle the patch in
patchwork?

Thanks!

The compiler not warning us about that bothers me :)

I can do the modification just before applying the patch. I will wait
for a reply on the last question on patch 1/4 before applying it ;)

[PATCH mptcp-net v2 3/4] mptcp: add mibs counter for ignored incoming options

[Paolo Abeni]

The MPTCP in kernel path manager has some constraints on incoming
addresses annunces processing, so that in edge scenarios it can
end-up dropping (ignoring) some of such announces.

The above is not very limiting in practice since such scenarios are
very uncommon and MPTCP will recover due to ADD_ADDR retransmissions.

This patch adds a few MIBs counter to account for such drop events
to allow easier introspection of the critical scenarios.

[PATCH mptcp-net v2 4/4] selftests: mptcp: more robust signal race test

[Paolo Abeni]

The in kernel MPTCP PM implementation can process a single
incoming add address option at any given time. In the
mentioned test the server can surpas such limit. Let the
setup cope with that allowing a faster add_addr retransmission.
