Subject: [PATCH] rps: tcp: fix rps_sock_flow_table table updates
Date: Thu, 03 Jun 2010 21:03:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1275591838.2533.37.camel@edumazet-laptop> (raw)
I believe a moderate SYN flood attack can corrupt RFS flow table
(rps_sock_flow_table), making RPS/RFS much less effective.
Even in a normal situation, server handling short lived sessions suffer
from bad steering for the first data packet of a session, if another SYN
packet is received for another session.
We do following action in tcp_v4_rcv() :
sock_rps_save_rxhash(sk, skb->rxhash);
We should _not_ do this if sk is a LISTEN socket, as about each
packet received on a LISTEN socket has a different rxhash than
previous one.
-> RPS_NO_CPU markers are spread all over rps_sock_flow_table.
Also, it makes sense to protect sk->rxhash field changes with socket
lock (We currently can change it even if user thread owns the lock
and might use rxhash)
This patch moves sock_rps_save_rxhash() to a sock locked section,
and only for non LISTEN sockets.
