[PATCH v7 net-next 00/13] AccECN protocol case handling series

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

Hello,

Plesae find the v7 AccECN case handling patch series, which covers
several excpetional case handling of Accurate ECN spec (RFC9768),
adds new identifiers to be used by CC modules, adds ecn_delta into
rate_sample, and keeps the ACE counter for computation, etc.

This patch series is part of the full AccECN patch series, which is available at
https://github.com/L4STeam/linux-net-next/commits/upstream_l4steam/

Best regards,
Chia-Yu

- Add empty line between variable declarations and code in #13 (Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>)

v4:
- Add previous #13 in v2 back after dicussion with the RFC author.
- Add TCP_ACCECN_OPTION_PERSIST to tcp_ecn_option sysctl to ignore AccECN fallback policy on sending AccECN option.

v3:
- Add additional min() check if pkts_acked_ewma is not initialized in #1. (Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>)
- Change TCP_CONG_WANTS_ECT_1 into individual flag add helper function INET_ECN_xmit_wants_ect_1() in #3. (Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>)

[PATCH v7 net-next 01/13] tcp: try to avoid safer when ACKs are thinned

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Ilpo Järvinen <ij@kernel.org>

Add newly acked pkts EWMA. When ACK thinning occurs, select
between safer and unsafe cep delta in AccECN processing based
on it. If the packets ACKed per ACK tends to be large, don't
conservatively assume ACE field overflow.

This patch uses the existing 2-byte holes in the rx group for new
u16 variables withtout creating more holes. Below are the pahole
outcomes before and after this patch:

[BEFORE THIS PATCH]
struct tcp_sock {
    [...]
    u32                        delivered_ecn_bytes[3]; /*  2744    12 */
    /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

    [...]
    __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_rx[0];       /*  2816     0 */

    [...]
    /* size: 3264, cachelines: 51, members: 177 */
}

[AFTER THIS PATCH]
struct tcp_sock {
    [...]
    u32                        delivered_ecn_bytes[3]; /*  2744    12 */
    u16                        pkts_acked_ewma;        /*  2756     2 */
    /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

    [...]
    __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_rx[0];       /*  2816     0 */

    [...]
    /* size: 3264, cachelines: 51, members: 178 */
}

[PATCH v7 net-next 02/13] gro: flushing when CWR is set negatively affects AccECN

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Ilpo Järvinen <ij@kernel.org>

As AccECN may keep CWR bit asserted due to different
interpretation of the bit, flushing with GRO because of
CWR may effectively disable GRO until AccECN counter
field changes such that CWR-bit becomes 0.

There is no harm done from not immediately forwarding the
CWR'ed segment with RFC3168 ECN.

[PATCH v7 net-next 03/13] selftests/net: gro: add self-test for TCP CWR flag

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

Currently, GRO does not flush packets when the CWR bit is set.
A corresponding self-test is being added, in which the CWR flag
is set for two consecutive packets, but the first packet with the
CWR flag set will not be flushed immediately.

[PATCH v7 net-next 04/13] tcp: ECT_1_NEGOTIATION and NEEDS_ACCECN identifiers

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

Two CA module flags are added in this patch related to AccECN negotiation.
First, a new CA module flag (TCP_CONG_NEEDS_ACCECN) defines that the CA
expects to negotiate AccECN functionality using the ECE, CWR and AE flags
in the TCP header.

Second, during ECN negotiation, ECT(0) in the IP header is used. This patch
enables CA to control whether ECT(0) or ECT(1) should be used on a per-segment
basis. A new flag (TCP_CONG_ECT_1_NEGOTIATION) defines the expected ECT value
in the IP header by the CA when not-yet initialized for the connection.

The detailed AccECN negotiaotn during the 3WHS can be found in the AccECN spec:

---
v6:
- Rename TCP_CONG_WANTS_ECT_1 to TCP_CONG_ECT_1_NEGOTIATION to distinguish
  it from TCP_CONG_ECT_1_ESTABLISH.
- Move TCP_CONG_ECT_1_ESTABLISH to latter TCP Prague patch series.

v3:
- Change TCP_CONG_WANTS_ECT_1 into individual flag.
- Add helper function INET_ECN_xmit_wants_ect_1().

[PATCH v7 net-next 05/13] tcp: disable RFC3168 fallback identifier for CC modules

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

When AccECN is not successfully negociated for a TCP flow, it defaults
fallback to classic ECN (RFC3168). However, L4S service will fallback
to non-ECN.

This patch enables congestion control module to control whether it
should not fallback to classic ECN after unsuccessful AccECN negotiation.
A new CA module flag (TCP_CONG_NO_FALLBACK_RFC3168) identifies this
behavior expected by the CA.

[PATCH v7 net-next 06/13] tcp: accecn: handle unexpected AccECN negotiation feedback

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

According to Section 3.1.2 of AccECN spec (RFC9768), if a TCP Client
has sent a SYN requesting AccECN feedback with (AE,CWR,ECE) = (1,1,1)
then receives a SYN/ACK with the currently reserved combination
(AE,CWR,ECE) = (1,0,1) but it does not have logic specific to such a
combination, the Client MUST enable AccECN mode as if the SYN/ACK
confirmed that the Server supported AccECN and as if it fed back that
the IP-ECN field on the SYN had arrived unchanged.

Fixes: 3cae34274c79 ("tcp: accecn: AccECN negotiation").

[PATCH v7 net-next 07/13] tcp: accecn: retransmit downgraded SYN in AccECN negotiation

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

Based on AccECN spec (RFC9768), if the sender of an AccECN SYN
(the TCP Client) times out before receiving the SYN/ACK, it SHOULD
attempt to negotiate the use of AccECN at least one more time by
continuing to set all three TCP ECN flags (AE,CWR,ECE) = (1,1,1) on
the first retransmitted SYN (using the usual retransmission time-outs).

If this first retransmission also fails to be acknowledged, in
deployment scenarios where AccECN path traversal might be problematic,
the TCP Client SHOULD send subsequent retransmissions of the SYN with
the three TCP-ECN flags cleared (AE,CWR,ECE) = (0,0,0).

[PATCH v7 net-next 08/13] tcp: add TCP_SYNACK_RETRANS synack_type

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

Before this patch, retransmitted SYN/ACK did not have a specific synack_type;
however, the upcoming patch needs to distinguish between retransmitted and
non-retransmitted SYN/ACK for AccECN negotiation to transmit the fallback
SYN/ACK during AccECN negotiation. Therefore, this patch introduces a new
synack_type (TCP_SYNACK_RETRANS).

- Add new synack_type instead of moving the increment of num_retran.

[PATCH v7 net-next 09/13] tcp: accecn: retransmit SYN/ACK without AccECN option or non-AccECN SYN/ACK

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

For Accurate ECN, the first SYN/ACK sent by the TCP server shall set the
ACE flag (see Table 1 of RFC9768) and the AccECN option to complete the
capability negotiation. However, if the TCP server needs to retransmit such
a SYN/ACK (for example, because it did not receive an ACK acknowledging its
SYN/ACK, or received a second SYN requesting AccECN support), the TCP server
retransmits the SYN/ACK without the AccECN option. This is because the
SYN/ACK may be lost due to congestion, or a middlebox may block the AccECN
option. Furthermore, if this retransmission also times out, to expedite
connection establishment, the TCP server should retransmit the SYN/ACK with
(AE,CWR,ECE) = (0,0,0) and without the AccECN option, while maintaining
AccECN feedback mode.

This complies with Section 3.2.3.2.2 of the AccECN specification (RFC9768).

[PATCH v7 net-next 10/13] tcp: accecn: unset ECT if receive or send ACE=0 in AccECN negotiaion

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

Based on specification:
  https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt

Based on Section 3.1.5 of AccECN spec (RFC9768), a TCP Server in
AccECN mode MUST NOT set ECT on any packet for the rest of the connection,
if it has received or sent at least one valid SYN or Acceptable SYN/ACK
with (AE,CWR,ECE) = (0,0,0) during the handshake.

In addition, a host in AccECN mode that is feeding back the IP-ECN
field on a SYN or SYN/ACK MUST feed back the IP-ECN field on the
latest valid SYN or acceptable SYN/ACK to arrive.

[PATCH v7 net-next 11/13] tcp: accecn: fallback outgoing half link to non-AccECN

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

According to Section 3.2.2.1 of AccECN spec (RFC9768), if the Server
is in AccECN mode and in SYN-RCVD state, and if it receives a value of
zero on a pure ACK with SYN=0 and no SACK blocks, for the rest of the
connection the Server MUST NOT set ECT on outgoing packets and MUST
NOT respond to AccECN feedback. Nonetheless, as a Data Receiver it
MUST NOT disable AccECN feedback.

[PATCH v7 net-next 12/13] tcp: accecn: detect loss ACK w/ AccECN option and add TCP_ACCECN_OPTION_PERSIST

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

Detect spurious retransmission of a previously sent ACK carrying the
AccECN option after the second retransmission. Since this might be caused
by the middlebox dropping ACK with options it does not recognize, disable
the sending of the AccECN option in all subsequent ACKs. This patch
follows Section 3.2.3.2.2 of AccECN spec (RFC9768).

Also, a new AccECN option sending mode is added to tcp_ecn_option sysctl:
(TCP_ECN_OPTION_PERSIST), which ignores the AccECN fallback policy and
persistently sends AccECN option once it fits into TCP option space.

[PATCH v7 net-next 13/13] tcp: accecn: enable AccECN

[chia-yu.chang]

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com>

Enable Accurate ECN negotiation and request for incoming and
outgoing connection by setting sysctl_tcp_ecn:

+==============+===========================================+
|              |  Highest ECN variant (Accurate ECN, ECN,  |
|   tcp_ecn    |  or no ECN) to be negotiated & requested  |
|              +---------------------+---------------------+
|              | Incoming connection | Outgoing connection |

Hi Chia-Yu,

My understanding is that you still have a set of packetdrill tests you
have been using to test this AccECN patch series. For the Linux
networking stack, the recent best practice for a significant patch
series like this is to add packetdrill tests to the
tools/testing/selftests/net/packetdrill/ directory as a separate
commit in the patch series.

For a recent example, see:

  selftest: packetdrill: Add max RTO test for SYN+ACK.
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git/commit/?id=ffc56c90819e86d3a8c4eff6f831317d1c1476b6

When you next post the AccECN patch series for review, can you please
include a patch at the end of the series that posts your packetdrill
tests in the tools/testing/selftests/net/packetdrill/ directory? In
the commit description for that patch, please include a mention of the
packetdrill SHA1 you are using and a link to the packetdrill branch
you are using, somewhere on github or similar. Then I will look into
merging any packetdrill tool changes that you are depending on, if
there are packetdrill commits that you depend on that I have not
merged into packetdrill yet.

Thanks!

Hi Neal,

Sure, I will include packetdrill in a separated patch.
But do you know when net-next will be open for submission? Thanks.
