[PATCH v2 mptcp-next 0/7] mptcp: address stall under memory pressure

[Paolo Abeni]

This *should* address opus-5 feedback, as observed upstream.

New iteration takes care of gemini review on v1.

Paolo Abeni (7):
  mptcp: move the retrans loop to a separate helper
  mptcp: move the stale logic out of retrans scheduler
  mptcp: let the retrans scheduler do its job
  mptcp: explicitly drop over memory limits
  mptcp: enforce hard limit on backlog flushing
  mptcp: avoid code duplication in __mptcp_move_skb()
  mptcp: implemented OoO queue pruning

[PATCH v2 mptcp-next 2/7] mptcp: move the stale logic out of retrans scheduler

[Paolo Abeni]

This allow separating the stale logic invocation and the retrans
scheduler, and will simplify the next patch.

It's also a cleaner design as the retrans scheduler has currently
too many side effects. As a possible downside, the retrans work will
now traverse the subflows list additional times; that does not matter
much, as this is slowpath.

While at it, pick more accurate names for the involved helpers and
explicitly note that the per subflow stale data is under msk socket
lock protection.

The scheduler and the stale logic may observe different subflow
statues, as no subflow lock is acquired. This is intentional and not
harmful, worst case leading to slower retransmissions.

Additional note: I think the rename is a good thing, because the
function additionally changed the argument list.

Fine by me: these helpers are only in our export branch anyway.

Yes, of course.

Because they are now our of the scheduler API, I guess they can be
removed. So Geliang's series can be used on top of yours:

[PATCH v2 mptcp-next 3/7] mptcp: let the retrans scheduler do its job

[Paolo Abeni]

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.

[PATCH v2 mptcp-next 4/7] mptcp: explicitly drop over memory limits

[Paolo Abeni]

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, as the skb needed to make forward progress can be
stuck in a subflow queue.

Over memory limits, drop the incoming skb, relaying on MPTCP-level
retransmissions.

Note that fallback socket must perform the limit before the skb reaches
the subflow-level queue, as dropping an in-sequence already acked skb
would break the stream.

This is not a complete fix for the stall issue, as the drop strategy
needs refinements that will come in the next patches.

[PATCH v2 mptcp-next 5/7] mptcp: enforce hard limit on backlog flushing

[Paolo Abeni]

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.

[PATCH v2 mptcp-next 6/7] mptcp: avoid code duplication in __mptcp_move_skb()

[Paolo Abeni]

Alike TCP, MPTCP handles in-sequence packets and partially overlapping
ones in a very similar way: we can use the same path to handle both,
avoiding some code duplication.

This will also make the next patch simpler.

[PATCH v2 mptcp-next 7/7] mptcp: implemented OoO queue pruning

[Paolo Abeni]

When moving incoming skbs in the msk receive queue and the latter
is above limits, prune it as needed quite alike what TCP is doing
at the subflow level. The main difference relies in the stop condition:
since MPTCP does not perform collapsing, it's better off dropping the
bare minimum to fit the (newer) incoming packet.

The above should obviously be: 'likely(...)'

@Matttbe: please LMK if you prefer a repost or you could adjust that
while applying to the export branch.

No problem, I can adjust them when applying them (if there are no other
big modifications required, but I guess no).

It seems you forgot to update this on the export branch.

Arf, indeed I did, my bad... good catch!

I just fixed it in our tree (and the alignment of the next line), but I
will wait for Paolo's feedback to know if he judges that a new version
is needed for upstream, or if that can be done in follow-up patches.

Maybe only the comments on the last patch actually requires
modifications? (but maybe can be done in a follow-up patch?)

I commented on the netdev thread. I would like to opt for the follow-up
strategy. I confirm opus-5 is too good for me. I'll try to cook and send
the series ASAP, but I suggest not rushing them to netdev, can go via
the net tree after the PR.

Thank you for the new version, and your patience with AI reviews!
Hopefully opus-5 will not be even more picky!

This new version looks good to me:
